Author's Note: Well, here's chapter eight folks! I'll try to reply to review tonight and tomorrow! It's quite a busy summer for me, so, I'd like to thank you for your patience! The last scene with Jack in the chapter below, will be in third person perspective, just mentioning so that you'd not be confused, but I'm sure you're bright enough to realize that on your own. :)

Enjoy!

I was aboard Sao Feng's ship, getting dressed in oriental silks as I heard him mutter in his foreign language, approaching from behind. I couldn't understand what he was muttering about, but I steeled myself.

He ordered the oriental women aiding with my attire away and calmly continued speaking, "By this time tomorrow, we will arrive at Shipwreck Cove, and you will be free, Calyso."

I uttered out, "Beg your pardon?"

"Not a name you fancy, I imagine, out of the many that you have, but it is what we call you."

Thinking quickly, I questioned, "'We' being who?"

"You confirm it…"

"Confirm what? You've told me nothing."

Sao Feng approached me and rounded the mast pole that I had backed up against, while carrying on, "The Brethren Court, not I, the first Brethren Court, whose decision I would have opposed, bound you to human form, so the rule of the seas would belong to man not to-"

Understanding fully now, I finished his sentence, "-To me."

He came back around on me, and faced me, whispering, "But for one such as you, should never be anything less than that what you are."

Smirking slightly, "Pretty words from a captor, but honeyed speeches whispered through prison bars lose their sweetness through the rusted metal."

"Can I be blamed for my efforts? All men are drawn to the sea, perilous though it may be."

I retorted, "And some men offer desire as justification for their crimes."

"I offer simply my desire."

"And in return?"

"I would have your gifts, should you choose to give them."

I pondered for a slight moment before daring to say, "And if I should choose… not?"

Anger drew in his eyes, and he spat out, "Then I will take your fury!" and launched himself onto me.

I wrestled him and managed to shove him away with a slap. He stood, enraged momentarily before a cannon blew through the ship, knocking everything out of order, splintering wood everywhere, and a large piece of wood skewered Sao.

I gasped and whispered a call for him, "Sao Feng…"

"Here… please…."

I slowly made my way through the destruction and toppled down to his level where he tore his necklace off, shoving it my way, "With all nine pieces of eight, you will be free. Take it!"

I slowly fumbled with the piece in my hand, before he managed to say, "You are captain now… Go in my place to shipwreck cove."

I drew near, "Me?"

A fellow crew member burst through the cabin quarters in panic, "Captain! The ship is taken, we cannot…" but trailed off as he saw us.

Sao tugged me closer and whispered his last words in my ear, "Forgive me… Calypso."

I watched the life escape from Sao's eyes and Tai Huang demanded, "What did he tell you?"

I turned to him slowly, showing the necklace, "He made me captain."

Jack flew back onto the Pearl dramatically, "And that was without a single drop of rum."

Jumping down onto the deck, he smirked and Barbossa rolled his eyes and stalked off. He looked around and asked, "Oi, where's Gin? How did she miss my superb arrival?"

Gibbs gave a dirty look to William and nodded, "She offered herself to Sao Feng to free us and make square with other deals. She made of the false show of being Calypso."

Jack narrowed his eyes viciously, heaved a sigh and directed at Will, "You betrayed us and lost me doll face, bad move Turner. Take this pestilent traitorous cow-hearted yeasty codpiece to the brig."

Elizabeth shot forward to Jack, "We have to find her. Save her. What're we going to do?"

Jack rounded on her, "We're doing nothing, we're still heading to Shipwreck Cove, Gin will manage herself, trust me, she's got bigger boons than you."

He swiftly moved to the wheel, staring ahead, but Elizabeth continued, "How can you be so sure?"

"Because she's my doll face. Who do you think she learned her tricks from?"

"Captain Jack Sparrow… how could I forget."

Grinning he looked out to the glittering sunset, reflecting on the ripples, and led them to Shipwreck Cove.

Next chapter's preview:

My eyes widened immediately at his appearance... It couldn't possibly be... Jack's father, could it?

A wry smile made to my face as I saw the striking similarity between the two and my heart warmed.

I know it wasn't a very long chapter, I promise the next one will be! :')
