Chapter Three: Truth, Escaping, and With Pleasure!
Jenna
Jenna watched as Flik and Jack disappeared above her head, her main focus came back down to Barbossa glaring up at the space where both of them were and then he looked to Jenna.
She gulped, not liking the look he was giving her but he didn't say anything to her instead he turned towards King George and the rest of the ministers.
"He escaped.." King George stated to him, the other ministers were muttering between themselves about what just happened then unexpectedly the chandelier above their heads came crashing down onto the long table shattering and echoing the whole room, vibrating almost.
"Leave it too me…" Barbossa nodded to him, and turned heading out of the door - he nodded to the guards holding Jenna and they began leading her out of the room following the peg legged man.
"Seems your friend is more trouble than she was before!" Barbossa called back to Jenna then swiftly turning to face the girl looking at her straight in the eyes.
"I…" Jenna stuttered out, but he turned again walking out of the palace to the court yard where a carriage was waiting.
"Take her back to the ship.. I'll be coming along tonight after the hanging…"
Jenna was shoved roughly into the carriage, she looked out of the door to see two other guards holding Gibbs's arms hard, he was looking at Jenna in a state of shock - he didn't even recognise the girl anymore.
The door slammed shut, and the carriage started jolting forward with her inside..
She sat back in the seat watching the scenery of London pass before her - this was her first time in England and she was prisoner..
"This wasn't suppose to happen…" She whispered to herself, her eyes slowly closing because she had been so tired lately but they reopened as the carriage passed over cobbles between them.
Again, her eyes slid shut and her thoughts took over - she remembered the last time she saw Flik, her best friend in the whole wide world she was on the Black Pearl with Jack leaving Port Royale, the girl she was waving too was an girl expecting adventure and full with life and when she saw her in the room at the palace - she was different, her clothes, hair style, her skin was more tanned - Flik was now a pirate, happily married to Jack Sparrow.. Jenna would have been married too…
She sighed remembering…
Flashback - 1 year ago - Port Royale.
Jenna laid silently in her and Cutler's bed, sleeping soundly - she was smiling in her sleep dreaming of her wedding day, even though it was a few months away she was really excited to be married to the man she loved. Her heart had finally made up her mind and she was inlove.
She turned on to her back, opening up her eyes to the warm Caribbean sun shining through the open bay windows, the curtains blowing in the breeze filling the room with the smell of the sea, spices..
Jenna smiled fully, raising herself up in bed with her nightgown and she came off the bed and headed out on to the balcony looking out over the ocean - every morning she would do this, it had been an year now since Flik had left her here and she promised she would come back to visit - so she always looked out over the sea watching for the Pearl but every morning she was disappointed..
"Miss.. Are you awake?" The maid called through the door before letting herself in and smiling at Jenna.
"Hey Kate, I guess Cutler's gone to work…" Jenna asked, as the maid came over with her freshly pressed yellow dress - she slipped off her night gown going behind the changing board and Kate passed her the dress.
"No Miss, Lord Beckett is showing his father and mother around Port Royale.."
She sighed in relief, Jenna remembered that a few days ago - Cutler's father Edward Beckett and his mother Katherine Beckett had come to Port Royale via the trade ship to visit their only son.
Last night they dined and she was introduced to them as Cutler's fiancée, it took them by surprise and by the looks between them they weren't too sure on her.
"Right.. Good, good… Um I might go to his office and wait for him then…" Jenna came out of the changing board with the yellow dress on her body, and she let her hair out of her ponytail fall down to her shoulders.
"Good day to you Miss.." Kate curtsied to her, as she passed leaving the bedroom and headed down the large staircase of his home.
She bounded out of the door, and started walking down the dirt road of their house into Port Royale's main shops and businesses, Cutler's office was near the dock and she was familiar with the route.
Jenna kept smiling, nodding and saying hello to a few officers as they passed her - she now knew a few people around here and was popular with a few of them.
She finally reached her destination and went inside the building, going up the stairs but suddenly there was a high pitched scream of a man coming from somewhere.
"What the…" Jenna muttered, stopping half way on the stairs looking to her left.
On the left hand side of the building, was the hospital wing for the injured officers who got hurt at sea.
She headed left on the staircase, reaching the double wooden doors and pushing them wide - she gasped to see she was surrounded by so many people, officers in their beds with nurses giving them the right help but the screaming started again and it was coming from the opposite end of the room.
Her feet took her to the other side, where a large curtain was separating the officers from what ever was behind it, her hand came up and drew the curtain hard.. Her eyes were wide and a loud gasp escaped from her lips.
Blood..
There was so much blood - it was all over the sheets, the nurses and doctors helping this man but as she stepped closer she knew who he was.
"Barbossa?"
Everyone stopped, looking at Jenna staring at the man on the bed, It was Captain Barbossa yelling in agony at the top of his lungs, his face contorted and filled with pain. She didn't understand why till her eyes finally looked down to his right leg..
"Oh my god…" Jenna whispered, the blood was coming from there - his leg was missing.
Then a pair of arms caught Jenna, spinning her around on the spot and she looked to see Cutler standing there.
"You shouldn't be here.." He told her, and took her left arm leading her away from the scene - so many questions were running through her mind then… Why did he have one leg? What happened to him? Where was Flik and Jack..?
An hour later, Jenna finally found out what happened to Captain Barbossa - him and his crew were attacked, the Black Pearl was lost and he lost his leg during the fight.
After much pleading to Cutler, she was finally allowed to see Barbossa again after his operation.
"Will he be okay?" Jenna asked as they walked back into the wing, going back towards where Barbossa was.
"He will be fine - but his leg.. There was nothing they could do.." Cutler explained, he leaned in and kissed her cheek leaving her with Barbossa laying on the bed.
"Barbossa…. Are you awake?" Jenna said, sitting down on a chair at his bedside with a worried look on her face.
"Aye, I will be.. It's Jenna.. Isn't it?" Barbossa looked over to the girl, she nodded to him and a smile came to his lips.
"I heard what happened to you.. Cutler explained, but the crew.. What happened to Flik and Jack..?" Jenna asked again, she started to bit her lip nervously concerned for her friend.
"Marty, Cotton and Pintel were lost like so many others.. Ragetti and Abby stayed in Tortuga along with Gibbs.. Felicity and Jack, they weren't aboard - we left them in Tortuga also…" Barbossa told her, she sighed again in relief feeling better to know that they were okay.
Jenna listened to what he just said to her, she looked at him and then at his leg then back up, she didn't know if she felt sorry for him or not, afterall they had been through a lot together in the past, she shook her head and smiled gently..
"Thank goodness…I'm sorry, Barbossa.. About your leg…" Jenna admitted, her eyes looking back down to the right leg again to see it had been replaced with a peg leg.
"No worries…" Barbossa muttered, and he shut his eyes resting. Jenna nodded and left him silently as he rested.
A Week Later
"Miss… Miss…" Kate called through out the rooms of Cutler's and Jenna's home looking for the girl - at last she found Jenna sitting in the dining room drinking a glass of water.
"Yes Kate?" Jenna replied, putting down the glass staring up at her.
"Lord Beckett would like you to join him in his office…" Kate told her, and went from the room again. Jenna smiled thinking why would Cutler be wanting her at half past 10 in the morning.
She rose from her seat quickly, and headed out of the door in a flash - she was nearly running towards his office, trying not to trip over her purple dress she was wearing.
Jenna reached the office and let herself into his officer only to be confronted with Cutler sitting down at desk and Barbossa was sitting opposite him, leaning on his walking stick.
"You wanted to see me…?" Jenna gulped, shutting the door behind her and stepping closer.
Cutler smiled, and came around his desk taking her hand and sitting her down in the chair next to Barbossa.
"Jenna, my love…" Cutler began, she realized then in the tone of his voice that there was bad news, the gut feeling in the stomach knew something bad was about to happen and she was right.
"Jenna.. I can't marry you…" Cutler sighed out to her, she clutched her stomach feeling the pain grow and she gasped out loud in shock - Barbossa chuckled at her reaction.
"WHAT! YOU CAN'T MARRY ME…?" Jenna yelled, still in shock.
"My parents came to Port Royal for one reason only - they have arranged a marriage for me to a woman who is coming over from England. I must respect their choice otherwise I will be dis inherited.. I'm sorry Jenna, but I must do this…" Cutler explained again - she shot up from her seat holding her head in her hands.
"No… THEY CAN'T DO THIS…NO!" Jenna muttered, shouting it nearly.
"It has been done." Was all Cutler Beckett could say - the love of her life was telling her that he was going to marry someone else all because of his parents…
"What is to become of me..?"
"That's where I step in…" Barbossa piped up, Jenna didn't like the tone in his voice either, she stopped looking at Barbossa scared.
"Me and Beckett have struck up a deal you see, I need a crew and ship and in return after me losing my leg - I have offered my services to the crown and to the King, Beckett has accepted this and also…" Barbossa smiled, nodding over to Cutler who nodded back.
"You were apart of the deal…"
"EXCUSE ME! HOLD ON! YOUR GIVING YOUR SERVICES TO THE CROWN BECAUSE YOU LOST YOUR LEG AND I'M APART OF A WHAT?" Jenna screamed at them both, losing control of her anger.
"Beckett has agreed for you to be my personal maid…"
That's when it hit her… Beckett no longer cared for her or loved her but he was willing to sell her to Barbossa just to get her out of the way so he could marry someone he hasn't met before,.
Losing power of her knees, she collapsed into sobs on the carpet crying her eyes out…
This wasn't happening she kept thinking…
This wasn't happening…
Present time
Jenna jolted awake from her sleep as the carriage stopped - she rubbed her eyes and shook her head getting rid of those memories but it was the truth. She couldn't do anything about it, her only hope was in Flik now after seeing her and her friend promising to set her free. That was her hope.
"Out you get!" The guard pulled open the door, grabbing Jenna's hand hard. She was now at the docks again looking at the Royal Navy's ship above her.
"Not again…" She muttered, and she was pushed and shoved onboard the ship.
St James Palace
Jack and Flik ran hand in hand down the big staircase of the palace, as two guards ran after them.
They reached the bottom, and Flik's eyes looked around - she spotted the courtyard outside and saw Jenna being put into the carriage, she tried going that direction but Jack grabbed her hand pulling her the other way and they hid behind a table.
They watched as a guard was yelling to the other's, and they put the effects of two pistols and swords onto the table in front of them - when the coast was clear, they popped their heads back up and Jack grabbed the items along with Flik and they headed back up the stairs looking for a way to escape.
"Jack…we need to help her!" Flik said out of breathe as they ran along an empty corridor, but behind them they heard the footsteps of others coming closer.
"Luv, not right now!" Jack kept looking around himself, then he spotted a window pushing the panes open to the street below them.
"Jack!" Flik protested, huffing and looking out of the window as well - it was a long way down and they had nowhere else to escape too!
"On the rope!" Flik pointed to the bunting hanging from building to building.. She went out of the window, her hands holding onto the flags and feet shuffling along the thick rope in mid air.
Jack rolled his eyes, following his wife doing the same action and they crouched together on the rope hiding.
As both of them hid behind the flags, a guard appeared out of the window looking - he couldn't see anybody except for the people passing below him on the street. Flik and Jack looked at each other, Flik's hands were starting to get slippery and then suddenly her foot slipped up making her fall but Jack just in time grabbed her falling hand holding her in mid air!
"THERE THEY ARE!" The guard shouted, Flik looked over to see several other guards appearing at the windows and one of them rushing over to the far window on their right opening it up and taking out his sword.
"JACK!" Flik screamed, she felt her arm was slipping again from his grip and then the rope snapped from the guard hacking it making it fall with both of them landing hard onto a carriage passing.
Flik landed ontop of the carriage with a loud thump whilst Jack flew inside the carriage itself, confused her head popped upside down to look inside and saw an older lady with a very posh dress staring at Jack then he went up to her, his head brushing the side of her head making her sigh in happiness.
Annoyed, Flik's head rose up as she began to stand on the carriage trying not to fall over and then Jack joined her ontop smiling at her.
"For you…" Jack smiled, his hand handing her a dangling pearl earring filled with small jewels incrusted in it.
"Late wedding present?" Flik rolled her eyes teasing him, smiling and quickly putting it into her pocket.
Jack then grabbed Flik's hand once more, making them both jump from her carriage to another one as they spotted the guards coming after them, trying to get through the people.
She landed on top of another carriage whilst Jack missed, and ended up with one leg on the carriage she was on and the other on a carriage travelling next to it.
Flik then lost her balance as the carriage she was on made a sharp turn making her fall hard on to the muddy street below her but Jack fell off the two carriages landing hard onto a casket passing him.
"Felicity!" He called, watching her fade but Flik quickly got back onto her feet running after the casket cart he was on but stopped having another idea - She turned and jumped onto another cart that was carting coal, she hit the man over the head with her pistol and took the reigns from him as he dropped on to the street.
She noticed the guards were now on horses, firing their pistols in her direction! Flik got the horses of the cart to turn around and made them gallop hard catching up with Jack.
Soon as she was near, Jack jumped from the casket falling into the space next to Flik.
"Hello luv…" Jack smirked sexily over to Flik, his hands brushing over hers and taking the reigns moving them down fast making the horses go faster.
"Jack.. Do you smell…smoke?" Flik smelt the air, she looked behind her and saw one of the guards must of fired his pistol at them, but missed hitting the lantern that hung off the cart setting the coal behind them on fire.
"Cart's on fire Jack! Hurry…" Flik told him, they raced through the houses of London mainly the back streets, the cart hit a bump in the street which made the coal slip from the back and on to the street, it managed to slow some of the guards down.
"When I say jump… jump…" Jack let go of the reigns controlling the horses and nodded over to Flik, she nodded back waiting for the signal.
"JUMP!"
Flik plunged from the cart, rolling a few times and hitting the side of the building hard making her groan in sudden pain - she looked up to see the cart with some of the coal travelling away without a driver into the distance.
"Jack…" Flik whispered, getting up and brushing off her jacket with the dust.
"Up here.." Flik looked up to see Jack was face to face with a pair of breasts off the pub sign that said 'Captain's daughter' and there was a picture of a good looking, black haired woman.
He jumped down, stumbling a little looking around - Flik went over and joined him making sure he was okay.
"Filthy pirates…"
They both turned on the spot, to see an random guard pointing his pistol at them - instantly, Flik put herself in front of Jack and as he was about to fire his pistol there was another loud BANG, and they saw the guard moan, and there was an bullet hole through his chest as he hit the ground.
"Did you do that…?" Flik whispered confused at what just happened, Jack shook his head and they looked over to the shadow of the building opposite them, they saw the smoke of the pistol and then out came the person who shot him.
Flik smiled wide and started laughing gently at the sight of the person whilst Jack held Flik around the waist smiling too.
"Hello dad…" Jack tipped his hat over to the man, it was Captain Teague looking at them both with a crooked smile on his face.
"I see both of you are keeping out of trouble…" He mumbled, coming over to them both. Flik laughed and wrapped her arms around Teague's neck giving him a small hug.
"Nice to you again!" She whispered, letting go back into the arms of Jack.
"Let's go inside.. Looks like you need a drink and rest…" Teague looked at Jack and Flik up and down.
"Drink sounds good…" Jack winked to Flik, and Teague went in front of them and they followed him inside the Captain's Daughter pub - the room was filled with men drinking, laughing and music, women were sitting on their laps singing along to the music.
"Go and find yourselves a room upstairs, I'll get the drinks…" Teague nodded and headed to the bar. Jack grabbed Flik's hand leading her upstairs quickly - she was surprised at this action and followed him.
Suddenly Jack opened a door, pushing Flik inside first and then himself closing the door and locking it, Flik looked around the room sighing and then spotting the bed.
She went over and crawled on top of the covers, laying down breathing out hard she had too much excitement of today. Jack smiled over to his wife, and took off his jacket and laying next to her on his side grinning wide like the Chester cat from Alice in Wonderland.
"Can't we just have a normal day…" Flik whispered, looking up to Jack staring at her and he shook his head side to side, his hand came up slowly removing a piece of her brown curly hair from her face.
"Never darling… Have I told you that you look beautiful today…?" Jack stroked her cheek, his eyes twinkling slightly.
"Actually, no you haven't…" Flik began to smile, knowing what he was up too..
"You look beautiful today…" Jack whispered, and his lips crashed down on hers giving her a gentle kiss before it turned more passionate..
Flik surrendered herself into him, leaning her body into Jack's with a smile on her face as they kissed…
He broke the kiss, raising an eyebrow to her making her giggle.
"I love you…" Jack whispered, making her feel like jelly inside - Flik could never get use to the feeling, he made her feel like a school girl all over again having a crush on a boy she fancied but this was different..
"Less talking, more showing…" Flik whispered, mm's from his lips half smiling..
"With pleasure…"
