It was much harder now then it once was. I used to be able to find someone who loved me if I just flicked my wrist. Now though I couldn't get the only one who mattered. Jack had been staring off into space for the entire ride back to the ship. I don't know what he was thinking or if he thought of the situation because I had placed myself at the back of the boat. I just needed to stop staring at him. There was no way I was going to relieve this heartbreak while staring at the cause.

I sighed and sat back, frustrated. Why couldn't I fall for someone like William? Someone who wouldn't care if I was Davy Jones. Sadly it seems my taste turns towards the dangerous and unfaithful. That wasn't true though. I knew Jack had been faithful. I was just so angry that my relationship had been crushed in such a short time. I loved Jack and there was no way around it.

We made our way out of the river and we stopped at the ships. The Black Pearl had been anchored right next to the Diamond. I would avoid Jack, I decided while climbing up the Diamond. I wouldn't give him the chance to break of the engagement. I paused at the railing of the helm. Would Jack break off the engagement? I winced.

"Captain?" Maxall asked gently. I puffed up. I was Captain Cassandra Myst, Pirate Lady of the Arctic! I would not be talked to like a little sissy girl.

"Get ready to make way! We're off to the Dutchman! Break that sail you sissy's!" I said giving off orders to my crew who had been lazing around while I was gone. They all jumped to do as I ordered. I glanced to the side to see that the others where now on the Pearl, including Jack. I rubbed my face before turning back to my crew. "Take up the gang plank! I want us there by sundown!" I said and turned the helm. I stroked the wood and it glittered under my touch.

"It's all right, Diamond." I muttered. Great I was talking to animated objects, this reminded me of the old days when I was certifiably insane, and it was okay. I started off shouting orders and trying to get us moving quicker. I muttered and barked orders at the crew, completely ignoring the others when they asked what I was so pissed about. I glanced over at the Pearl often because, as I've said before, neither of the ships were able to get ahead of the other.

After eight straight hours of being Captain and bossing my sailors around Maxall had finally had enough.

"If you don't sleep soon, you are going to regret it." He said. I was down below deck making sure that everything was as it should be, or that's what I was letting everyone think. Really I was just removing the myself from temptation. Usually I'd be by Jack's side but I was still sticking to my 'Avoid and forget' strategie. Sadly the only way to do this is by keeping myself occupied.

"I don't know what you're talking about. I've gone more then one day before without crashing." I muttered and tried to go back out on deck but Maxall stopped me before I could reach the stairs. He held me still by my shoulders, forcing me to look him in the eyes.

"You are wearing yourself out. I don't know what happened but I know if you don't sit down and at the least eat something you will pass out." Maxall said. I shrugged off his arms and turned back in to the storage room. I pulled the lid on multiple crates so I could grab what was inside, an apple and a bottle of rum. I took a large bite of the apple right in Maxall's face and crunched it together. He wrinkled his face in disgust but I didn't care.

"There I'm eating. I can eat and drink on the job. Do you know how lax the crew has become in my absence? If I don't rid them they'll stop working." I said and dodged around Maxall. He followed me though as I made my way up to the sleeping level for the crew. I began walking to the other side of the room where the stairs to go up top were.

"Yes, but you aren't sitting. You've been working for eight hours straight. Even Captain Sparrow's taken breaks." Maxall exaggerated but I flinched at the mention of Jack's name and Maxall noticed. "Did you two have a fight, is that why you are trying to kill yourself working all day on the sun?" He asked.

"No, I am fine. I'm working all day because I miss being a bloody Captain and I will not take lip from me own first mate!" I nearly shouted before walking to the stairs. I was almost completely up them before I regretted it. I saw to my utter terror that Jack was on the deck.

"And where is the lovely lass?" I heard Jack asked. I dove back down below and saw Maxall waiting. Oh that slimy git knew that Jack was here.

"That's cold." I said icily and he smirked.

"Only looking out for your best interests, Captain." Maxall said as I crouched beneath the stairs, fearing he'd come down to look for me. "Now, you can go to bed, like a nice little girl, and I'll go get rid of the nasty Captain. Or you could refuse to go to bed and I can tell the Captain exactly where it is you are. Bargain?" I winced and looked through at the bottom of the stairs to see Jack still there, though he looked confused. I could see that the crew didn't exactly want to speak to him. No doubt that like Maxall they'd figured out he was the reason I was riding them so hard. I grimaced and turned back to Maxall.

"Bargain." I snapped and shook his out stretched hand. He grinned, flashing his new gold fillings. I'd been so eager to see Jack before that I hadn't noticed them. I stepped back behind the stairs so I could wait for Maxall to tell me when Jack'd left. It only took a moment to hear Maxall's heavy boots as they came back. I waited under the stairs until I was sure it was him. He looked slightly amused.

"All right, ye lover is gone back to his precious Pearl." Maxall said and I hugged him.

"What did you tell him to get him to leave?" I asked curiously as I walked up the stairs and back out on deck. The crew paused looking wary but I waved them off. They seemed to perk up.

"I told him ye were otherwise occupied." Maxall said and I paused on the stairs up to my cabin. I turned back to him incredously.

"And he actually bought that?" I said before making my way back up the stairs.

"Not exactly." Maxall said before I opened the doors. I walked in, undressing little by little. "I may have at one point mentioned that you possibly could not want to see him…" I spun around in my trouser and shirt.

"Maxall!" I yelled but he was out the door already and running. I grumbled heartily but guessed it was all right. At least I didn't have to deal with it anymore, I could just lay down on my bed and sleep, just for an hour. I flopped down on the bed and crawled under the sheets. I stared out the windows for a moment watching the night. It was a lovely sight. The stars were out, the sea was just calm enough and there were even a pair of dolphins swimming close to the ship in curiosity. The only thing missing was Jack to share it with. I sighed and fell asleep to what I was hoping would be a peaceful sleep.

J;C;J;C;J;C

It was only a half-hour later that I woke up from one of the scariest dreams of my life. I'd dreamt that Jack had cheated on my with Elizabeth right before he'd been eaten by the Kraken. I knew it was a silly dream but it just made me want to go out on deck. So I swept the covers away and walked to the door. I paused when I saw someone scary. It took me a minute to realize it was me in mirror form. I walked to the dresser to see I had the most horrible bags and my eyes were puffy from lack of sleep. My hair was all over the place. I paused at that. I freaked out when I saw that one side of my hair had a sort of bleach white roots.

I cursed violently and searched around for my scarf to tie my hair back so it wouldn't be noticeable. It wouldn't help though because I'd still know. I have only ever had white hair once. That was before I died. My white hair was a symbol of my light side and it only made its presence known when death for me was around the bin. I stared at myself before putting on a layer of kohl around my eyes. I sighed. I looked better but not good.

I gave up and walked out of the door towards the deck. It was raining buckets out here and I was soaked the moment I was out the door. I don't know why Maxall didn't rush to get me. I started screaming out orders and the crew hurried to obey them as Maxall repeated them for those that didn't hear. I glanced around to realize that we'd arrived at our destination while I'd been sleeping. I rubbed my eyes as the blurried and chalked it up to the rain.

"All right, give me a rope, I'm swinging over to the Pearl!" I shouted at Maxall. He frowned and handed me a rope before going off to shout out orders to the others. I sighed and swung carelessly over to the Pearl. I guess I kind of wanted to fall over the edge. It'd be much less painful then knowing I was going to perish any day all for a man who possibly didn't even love me anymore. I landed on deck and walked around in the flurry of crewmembers until I came upon what looked to be William going over the side. I looked over the railing to watch him paddling away to a shipwreck. Whose bright idea was this?

"-If you do happen to get captured, just say Jack Sparrow sent you! Might save your life!" I heard Jack shout. I snorted at his manipulation of William. Instead I continued to watch until he'd hit the deck, ignoring Gibbs who was standing beside me. Instead I turned away to the other side, thinking that it would be best to avoid a conversation in this condition only to run into Jack. Jack scared me at the moment. He seemed to have a fire in his eyes as he backed me up against the railing.

"I find myself confused, love. You see, I came over just about and hour and a half ago, to make amends. I expected to find me lass, waiting to either decapitate me or hug me, instead I found your first mate telling me that I'm not welcome on your ship anymore." Jack said ferociously and I was pushed up against the side of the ship as his arms rested on either side of me. I giggled nervously.

"Well, Maxall might have gotten the wrong impression and-" I was broken from my pitiful excuse of an objection when Jack's lips came down on mine. I moaned as his hands came around my ass and pushed me flush against him. I shuttered when he pulled his face back enough to speak.

"Love, I really am sorry. You have to admit though that was a lot to tell a man who thought he knew everything about you." Jack muttered. I winced as my back scratched into my back. But refused to let Jack pull back.

"It's not your fault Jack. You had every right to be mad. I'd be mad if I suddenly found out that you weren't exactly mortal." I said and hesitated before curling my arms around his waist instead of where they were hanging by my sides. Jack sighed and took his arms off of the railings and around me.

"I've had time to grasp it, love. And I've decided I don't care." Jack said and I don't know what possessed me to open my mouth but I did.

"Does that mean you still love me?" I asked tensely waiting for the answer that either break me or make me. I held my breath as Jack took his hand and ran it across my cheek. I sighed and leant in to it.

"Always, love." Jack said and kissed my lips again. I giggled though when he suddenly squeezed my ass.

"Jack!" I called and he grinned devishly. I was happy, this meant that not only did Jack forgive me he was still himself. It was probably because the black magic was off of him now and his body could relax. I smiled and kissed him happily. I thought it was a little weird that he forgave me so suddenly but I would take what I could get but then a thought came to me.

"Jack…you aren't just forgiving me because you want to use me to your advantage…are you?" I asked tentatively. His eyes widened and I made to pull back but he wouldn't let me.

"Never,love. Contrary to what some gits think, I can love you. I'm going to prove that I still love you…" Jack said and kissed both my eyelids sweetly. I smiled uncertainly at him. "By loving you until I pass." My eyes watered greatly. I took in a startled breath. No one had ever done that for me, granted no one usually finds out, but it just sounded so sweet. How could I be suspicious of that?

"I love you, Jack." I muttered and kissed him. He brightened showing me his emotions more. I smiled.

"And I you." Jack said and kissed me again but suddenly we were interrupted by Gibbs.

"Cap-Oh…" He said flustered. I don't know how he didn't realize that we were in the middle of something because we were very much engrossed in each other. This thought brought attention to Jack's hand that had been sneaking under my corset, trying to loosen it. I chuckled and moved it out of the way. He pouted before looking to Gibbs, Captain again.

"Master Gibbs, there had better be a good reason for this interruption…" Jack lead off threateningly. I stood beside Jack, pushing off of the railing that had surely bruised my back. Not that I'd noticed now that Jack and I were together again and weren't separated.

"The Dutchmen has appeared." Gibbs said. I winced before looking out over the chaotic water. There on the water beside the wrecked ship was a ship that looked to be in horrible repair. I stared at it in shock for a moment. IT had a lot of barnacles and looked like it had been under the sea for years. I turned to Jack cautiously. I couldn't tell him why but I really didn't think it was a good idea for me to be around when Davy was. Jack was getting out his spy glass so I snuck off to hide; hey I'm a pirate not a Gryffindor. I hid behind a bunch of large barrels that I suspected where full of rum, from the smell and the Captain's preferences.

Suddenly I was glad that I'd hidden. One second we'd been alone on the Pearl but then fish people seemed to melt through the wood. They captured the crew of the Pearl and held them against there bodies with knives and fishy appendages. I nearly hurled at the very sight of them. I mean one of them was half hammerhead shark and another was even part pufferfish. I winced in sympathy at the poor chaps. I may feel sorry for them but there was no way I was coming out. Jack would be safe, I knew that.

Suddenly something hit me. I was still on the ship so I needed to hide my presence or Davy would know. And then I was hit with another ephiany. Davy would notice if there wasn't a Black Spot on Jack. I cursed quietly before I racked my brain for a incantation. See I couldn't do it without an incantation. Thankfully it was just an illusion.

I started muttering an incantation to make another fake black spot appear on Jack's palm. It seemed to work because Davy didn't notice anything.

"You have a debt to pay. You've been Captain of the Pearl for twelve years, that was our agreement." Davy spat. He looked a lot worse then when I'd last seen him. Instead of the full grown beard he'd been sporting it was replaced with octopus tentacles. They were wiggling around and his face was disgusting. Not to mention the rest of him. One of his hands was a crab claw and the other was more octopus tentacles. I was peeking around the barrel now to both listen and look at Davy with disgust.

"Technically I was only Captain for two years, then I was viciously mutinied upon." Jack said, trying to talk his way out of the mess. Myself, I was still chanting the incantation under my breath.

"Then you were a poor Captain, but a Captain nonetheless! Have you not introduced yourself all these years as Captain Jack Sparrow?" Davy asked and he and his crew started laughing at Jack. I scowled darkly but continued to chant. I didn't like that Davy was so gone. He was barely human. I was just lucky he hadn't realized that my magic was all over Jack. But it may not have been after I spent hours away from him.

"You have my payment. One soul to serve on your ship is already over there." Jack said continuing to try to talk his way through this though I could see the angry twitches his hand made. Jack was a man of great pride. I would know, he insisted of showing me off, not that I could complain because I rather enjoy it. No focus!

"One soul is not equal to another." Davy Jones said wisely. I knew what he spoke was the truth, of course. Every soul has its own value.

"Aha!" Jack said grasping something in that sentence that I hadn't. "So we've established my proposal is sound in principle, now we are just haggling over price." Oh please tell me that he wasn't trying to bargain with Davy Jones.

"Price?" Davy Jones asked before he popped his octopusy lips and seemed to be interested. I winced and kept chanting. Jack looked sly, like he'd just caught his prey.

"Just how many souls do you think my soul is worth?" Jack asked, smirking. I sighed of course, why did I even doubt his ability to con Davy Jones? Davy actually seemed to be thinking about it.

"You're a diamond, mate. Send me back the boy, I'll get started right off." Jack said. Oh no, Jack actually thought that Davy Jones would give in to that.

"I keep the boy. A good-faith payment. That leaves you only ninety-nine more to go." Davy said and laughed. Jack turned thoughtful but he seemed to realize something he could use against him.

"Havy you not met Will Turner? He's noble, heroic, terrific soprano." Jack said and I almost snicker at the implied fact that William was an eunuch but then that would have completely screw up my incantation. "Worth at least four…maybe three and a half. And did I happen to mention…he's in love. With a girl. Due to be married. Bethrothed." Jack said and was going to continue but Davy smirked.

"And you Sparrow? I've heard rumors of a girl who'd finally tamed the infamous Captain Sparrow. Where is this girl? Is that not her ship? Lady Cassandra?" Davy asked. Then he turned to his crew. "Find her." Davy commanded. I shrunk back onto the barrels of rum and finally finished that damn chant. Now I was scared. I had to get way before- Damn…

The crewmember that had been combined with the puffer fish grabbed me by the back of my jacket/vest and huffed me in to the air. He walked me over to the Davy Jones, whose back happened to be to me, as he was looking at Jack. I muttered curses because this was just my luck!

"Captain, we've found her." Puffy said. I scowled at him, if I hadn't just used a great chunk of my magic for that illusion I'd make him a statue and sink him by his bootstraps…haha! Davy turned around and as soon as he laid eyes on me he growled.

"Lady Destiny, oh how you have fallen!" Davy Jones mocked. I snarled at him from the air as Puffy didn't put me down. The crewmembers laughed, even a few from Jack's crew, most likely in hopes of being let go. I glared at all of them before turning my attention to Davy Jones. "Why, the last time I'd seen you, you were cursing me to this life to spend ten years away from Calypso!" Davy snarled, shoving his face into my own. I kicked him in his wobbly bits and though he winced and backed up a step he didn't fall.

"I did what you wished! Do not drag my name down through the mud with your own!" I snarled dangerously and glanced at Jack who looked apologetic for getting me in this situation. He should be! If he hadn't mentioned William I'd still be behind that barrel of rum. I turned to Puffy.

"Put me down before I sentence you to the locker!" I shouted and he dropped me. I grunted as I hit the deck, of course. I stood back up and cracked my back loudly. "You are as hateful and as coarse as death, Davy Jones!" I accused. He sneered right back and though he was a foot taller then me I refused to back down.

"You are so sorry that you've forsaken your assigned job and have started praying on the people of the sea!" I shouted in his face.

"I wouldn't be a problem if you're daughter-" I put my hand on his chest and he gasped as he was suddenly human again, near the state of death he'd been in when he'd been changed.

"Do not bring Calypso back in to this Davy Jones or I will bring you back in to this…" I said darkly. I pulled my hand away and he was back to being a fishman. He looked at himself before looking at me and left with one remark.

"I wonder, my Lady, if you can live with condemning innocent human souls to death just for Jack Sparrow?" He said and he grabbed Jack's hand, taking away the 'black spot' but in reality it was coming off of mine. He was in such a tizzy that he didn't even notice that it was my magic that he was taking away. I looked to Jack and he was staring at me intensely.

"Yeah, I'm good with it!" I agreed. I mean, when I get out of this state, and I will, I'll just save their asses. I watched as Davy growled and sank into the Pearl chanting 'Three days'. I snorted and walked closer to Jack. He had been staring at his hand and I looked to it. It was covered in slime but my fake Black Spot was in submission. I knew it would act like it would if it was a real black spot. I looked up when Jack was suddenly moving. When I looked at his face it was to see him scanning me. He looked me in the eye when confirming that I wasn't hurt.

"Are you alright, love?" Jack asked, even though he'd just looked me over. I smiled at his worry and without touching his slime covered hand I kissed Jack for his worry.

"Aye." I said grinning. Then Jack focused again on his hand.

"Cass?" Jack asked after a moment in which we all stared at his hand. And when I say all, I mean Gibbs, Jack, and I.

"Aye?" I said using the standard answer to everything.

"I feel sullied and unusual." Jack said hoarsely.

"Aye, that would be the black Spot reversing and probably because you came in contact with Davy Jones magic." I answered. Jack winced and Gibbs cut in impatiently, I should be to, because I know have to find a hundred willing souls within three days or I'd be in Davy Jones's locker.

"And how do you intend to harvest these ninety-nine souls?" Gibbs questioned Jack. That was of course stupid, Jack always had some kind of plan, and whether it was successful of not was different.

"Ah, well fortunately he was mum as to the condition of these souls need be." Jack said and suddenly he rubbed the slime on Gibbs' vest. I winced along with Gibbs. Jack would have been slapped if he tried that on me. I sighed and twirled the ring on my finger. This was all just a mess now. That I'd have to fix.

"Tortuga…" I muttered and turned away to my ship.

"Aye…Tortuga…" Jack muttered and started yelling out to his crew. I sighed and the fact that I'd only managed to sleep for a small amount of time came back to me. I hopped over to the Black Diamond to see my crew was in a panic. I looked around disoriented.

"What the hell?" I shouted and they froze. "Why is my crew, the infamous for being unshakable, running around like babies?" I called incredulously and a girl I knew to be called Brianne stepped out of the crew, tentatively.

"Captain…I-Is it true, that we are going up against Davy Jones himself?" She asked and I could see she was really scared, along with the rest of the crew. I surveyed them. They all had the same expressions of cold, naked, fear. I sighed and sensed that this was going to be a long night.

"It's all right…Our next destination is to head for Tortuga." The crew brightened, no doubt they were thinking that we weren't going to be going up against Davy Jones after all. "We are going there to retrieve ninety-nine souls to sacrifice in turn for Jack's soul." I burst their bubble. There were mutters and wild exclaimations.

"Why should we fight against Davy Jones for Jack Sparrow? What has he ever done for us but cause trouble?" Someone exclaimed from the back. I nodded much to the shock of the crew.

"Aye, you won't have to worry about that, because I'm not going to ask you to." I said and it fell silent again. "As soon as we reach Tortuga you are dismissed to find another Captain." I said and there were more yells and shouts of horror.

"But Captain, we can't just run from Davy Jones!" Another crewmember. This one I could see was a red head. I stared her down.

"I'm not. What I'm trying to tell you is at some point in time I will become Lady Sparrow." I confessed and every one of them was speechless. Then a great chaos took over the boat. Every single one of them began having a fit. Half of them were cursing Jack to heck and back and some of them where even asking how the hell I'd gotten Sparrow to propose. Then there was Maxall who was shouting congratulations at the top of his lungs over the side of the Diamond and to the Pearl. The Pearl's crew was looking at all of us like we were retards. I suspected that they thought that we were talking about the Davy Jones situation.

Over at the helm I could see Jack's handsome face twisted in confusion. I chuckled and flashed my ring at him. He seemed to get it and he smirked back at me. I didn't know why he was smirking, but who knew anything about Captain Jack Sparrow other then he was a little around the bin? Maybe he was possessive and was glad that everyone knew that I was his? I don't know. I don't even want to try to know what goes on in his brain. I think I'd go mad if I tried something like that.

So instead I stuck my tongue out at him. He didn't react the way I'd expected. Instead he stuck his fingers over his mouth and made and obscene gesture with it. I choked on my own spit. (A/N: I hope you guys know which gesture I'm talking about and if you don't at least some of us are innocent in the ways of the world! *Insert loud regretful sigh*) before sticking up my middle finger at him. He turned confused again and I realized that the gesture didn't mean anything in this century. I was still happy though that I'd one upped him. Maybe I'd tell him what it meant later. In fact I didn't even know that the gesture he'd made was even used in this time….note to self: research time periods.

I turned back around to my still distraught crew. I watched for a few minutes as they battled before I gave up on them settling it for themselves. "All right!" I screamed. They quitted at once. I huffed before straightening my vest. "We've gotten completely off topic. Once we reach Tortuga this hip will be re-docked, until I can provide it a Captain." I said.

And then had to, for the next four hours that it took us to reach Tortuga, calm my crew down.

So you can imagine what kind of state I was in when Tortuga was finally sighted. I didn't feel like I could comfort one more crewmember or I would burst. I snapped at Maxall to guide the ship in to bay and to make sure I was uninterrupted before I stormed up to my sleepimg chambers and just collapsed on the sheets. Most people can go for a day without sleep, me? I hadn't eaten anything but an apple or drunk more then a bottle of rum. (Mind you it was vanilla rum) I had only taken that one break and I was suddenly glad Maxall had forced me into my cabin. (Sneaky bastard that he is)

I tiredly managed to kick off my boots and throw off my vest, and other trinkets. When I was done I crawled up the bed and into the covers. I was so close to sleep that I could taste it when the door flew open. I looked to it, enraged, only to see Jack closing the door in a stunned Maxall's face. I sighed and fell back on to the covers where I'd jolted up.

"Petulant cad…" I heard Jack mutter before he turned from the door and to me. I glared at him before turning back over and trying to sleep. Alas, my plans were crushed when I heard Jack dropping his cloths like flies. I turned back around to look at him like he was stupid.

"What are you doing, Jack?" I asked as he pulled his shirt off over his head and now he was left in his scarf and trousers. I watched as he walked to the bed in his funny little walk.

"What does it look like, love? I'm joining you in sleep land." He muttered before gathering me into his arms. I sighed, I was just so tired that I couldn't even pretend to care whether he was sleeping in here with me tonight.

"Alright." I muttered and laid my head on his hard, but comforting chest. "Goodnight, Jack." I said yawning and already falling asleep.

"Goodnight, my love." Jack whispered back and soon we were both in dream land.

Hey guys! So how's it going? I've written this chapter and I love it. Still not as much as the one I'd written before but I think this one had more thought behind it then the other one did.

So I was thinking of doing a Hangover one…Do you think that's over kill? Because there are a lot of them…anyways. I was going to do that one, for you guys and then while I'm uploading it, because it's going to have an almost empty plot well…with a little spice. I'm planning on writing a suggested story. (I'm leaning towards JokerOC.) So tell me what you think and get back to me….

I wish I could tell you guys something but I'm thinking that some of you could be one of those men who sit at computers and jerk off to people….or stalk me. I don't have anymore room around my place for people to stalk me…or you could try to rape me…*shudder*

Anyways! Off unpleasant talk. I hope you people enjoy this chapter and also once again thank you to everyone who reviewed. And for those who didn't I hope you know I will have an eye0gasm even if it's just a 'Hey how's it going….Loved the chapter' anything…

Love you guys and thanks for reading!
