Disclaimer: DOPOTC! Well here is chapter three of the most awesome story you have ever read! I'm so conceited. Well, I've been typing so long that my fingers are sore! Well, I'm working on two stories, this one, and my other: Prisoners of Fate. It's a crappy name but the story is good. I suck at naming my stories. Holla!

Chapter Three: Bartering Passage.

Jack and I had been sitting in silence for a couple hours now. The sun hadn't even begun to set yet. Jack was pulling at a string on his pink and white sash that he had earlier today discarded to try and ravish me. The memory flooded back. It seemed so long ago, this morning I had taken every moment with him for granted.

"So, tell me lass, where are ye from?" Jack questioned trying to make small talk.

"Greenland." I mumbled upset.

"So ye be speaking Danish?" he questioned. I sighed and remember that day in my room when he asked the same question. Nostalgia has a horrible way of making you a depressed wreck. But I wasn't about to let this adventure be ruined.

"Everything but, it seems." I commented, "Say Jack, when you escape and go on your little adventure to get the Pearl back will you take me along?" I asked. He looked at me stunned.

"Are you and enchantress?" he questioned. I nodded.

"Think of me like Calypso. Only without the magic, and love affair with a squid!" I said happily giving him a broad smile.

Jack nodded his head in understanding. But he still didn't seem convinced. "I see no profit in it for me." I knew he would say that.

"Why is everything about you? Why can't something be about me?" I mumbled to myself and then plastered on my big smile.

"Because Jack, I'm useful and cute, and I speak five languages and I can run really fast! And, then there is that little itty bitty part that I know your future." I said the last part fast knowing he would pay extra attention to that.

"Come again?" he asked quirking an eyebrow that disappeared beneath his red head band.

"Never more than three times a night." I said sternly mimicking his expression.

"No, I mean, what?" he babbled before regaining himself, "Ye say you know me future?" at this he chuckled and sat cross legged in front of me.

"How about we make ourselves a little wager." I offered holding out my palm to him. He eyed it warily before cautiously placing his on top of mine.

"Don't do it mate! She's a she devil!" the man I slammed against the bars protested. I turned about in my spot and shot daggers at him he immediately winced and turned about to continue his game of tidily-winks.

I noticed the warmth coming from Jack's hand which comforted me some. It had been almost a whole day since I had come into contact with him this intimately and the contact was giving me a rush.

"Okie dokie! Let's see." I said closing my eyes, which was completely contradictory to what I had just said, I opened one to look at Jack to see if he was paying attention. He wasn't.

"First I will tell you your past. Then, I will tell you your future. Ready Freddy?" I asked. He gave a low groan that I took for a yes and began.

"Ok, You made a deal with Davy Jones the king of squids to raise the Black Pearl, the fastest ship in the Caribbean , yada yada yada, first mate Barbossa, mutiny, rum runners…Now for your future. Two men of your old crew will come down here, one will accost you and he will be cursed. Then the blacksmith you had a swordfight with will come in the morning and free us under the condition that we find his bonny lass Elizabeth Swann. But of course that is after the Black Pearl blows a hole in the cell next to us freeing everyone but us." I said all of this in one big breath and sighed exasperated.

"You are an enchantress." he replied.

"So I've been told." I sighed once more trying to catch my breath, "So do we have an accord?" I asked.

"Only if those things come to pass. If not it's the gallows for us either way." Jack said.

Our conversation was interrupted by the whistling of the men in the cell next to us. And this time it wasn't because of me, it was because of the third cutest thing in the jail. Samson! They wagged a splintered bone out for him.

"You know if you keep doing that forever the dog is never going to move." Jack said taking a seat against the brick wall.

"Well excuse us if we haven't resigned ourselves to the gallows just yet." A man with missing teeth shot back at him.

Jack smiled and leaned back placing his hat over his face and seeming to allow sleep to rush over him. I waited a few minutes before I advanced.

His legs were spread a bit apart hands dangling off of his knees. I let my finger trace up his hand and around the top of his wrist. He didn't move. On my knees I slowly crawled between them, sitting back on my feet I expected his sleeping form. I tiled his hat up a bit to reveal his face. Taking it off I placed it down next to him.

I began caressing his cheek and I let my other hand rest on his shoulder. Sighing I leaned forward and put my lips against his. I let the feeling wash over me, the warmth and security. Suddenly the kiss was being deepened but not by me. Jack's hands wrapped around my waist and he leaned into me. I happily let him, placing my hands around his neck I let the feeling linger.

Once he pulled away I smiled at him. "Jack, you do remember!" I said happily, hoping my nightmare was over.

"No, but I'm not one to pass up a kiss from a pretty lass such as yerself." Normally I would have been mad if anyone else had said that. But this was Jack we were talking about I nodded and rose from my spot.

I walked over to the bench that sat just beneath the window. Jack grabbed his hat and placed it on his head but watched me intently. I raised my shirt to reveal the cut that had been healing from my battle with Norrington. I let my fingers gingerly caress it as I looked out at the sea from between the bars.

"We were so close to happiness. Love can tear down barriers and build bridges between two worlds, too bad you were never in love with me." I whispered to myself letting the shirt fall. I brought my knees up to my chest and waited for the Black Pearl to arrive.

Jack sat back still watching me, cautiously, but he kept an eye on me until I had fallen asleep with my head against the cool and rough stone of the cell walls.

I woke up due to the fact that I was freezing. Shivering and my teeth chattering I looked around the cell. Jack was pulling at the bars, and the men in the other cell were sprawled out in a soft slumber. I looked outside and saw the fog. Hmm, so soon? I thought. I stared out to the beach and heard the soft clank of William in his shop resonate through the town.

"Brace yourself." I said to Jack who stopped what he was doing to eye me cautiously.

"And what exactly for?" Jack asked. Just then his question was answered as the rumble of cannons in the distance sounded off. "Wait I know those cannons. It's the Pearl." Jack said dumbfounded running to the window to try and get a glimpse.

"Black Pearl?" the missing teeth skinny man said from the cell next to us, "I've heard stories of her. She has been praying on ports and settlements for near ten years. Never leaves any survivors."

Jack turned looking at the man amused, "No survivors? Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Just then I remembered the next thing that happened in the movie. "Jack get down!" I yelled grabbing him and throwing him down to the ground covering our heads.

"Hey! What are you doin-" Just then the cannon ball blasted through the wall next to us sending the men backwards and throwing debris into our cell. I felt a rock smack me in the back of the hand and I let out a whimper.

"THAT'S IT! I'M SICK OF GETTING BEAT UP FOR YOU! I'VE BEEN SHOT, STABBED, AND OTHER WISE BRUISED AND BEATEN PROTECTING YOU! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE YOUR BONNY LASS!" I screamed as the men next to us began to hop out of the jail.

"Sympathies to you-" one man began, but I cut him off.

"Shut up! Can't you see we are busy?" I said pointing between me and Jack. The skinny guy looked hurt and crawled out of the cell.

"Like I said before lass, if I don't remember it, it didn't happen." Jack said putting his hand up innocently.

"See if you remember this!" I huffed pulling back and punching him in the face.

"Ow, ow, ow… What in the bloody hell was that for?" he asked putting a protective hand up to his face.

"Oh, I don't remember!" I said crossing my arms and sitting down in the corner. Jack kept nursing his sore face but looked at me quizzically.

"What the bloody hell is wrong with you? You are the craziest strumpet I've ever met in me entire life." Jack said tired of dealing with me obviously.

"Whatever. I'm not a strumpet, and I'm not crazy. Once William gets here in the morning everything will be better." I said slumping even further. Jack turned around and began mumbling to himself. Grabbing the bone he began to try and coax Samson to give him the keys.

As Jack was busy calling the dog a 'cur' I was drawing circles in the dust beneath me. I waited until Twiggy and Kohler came banging down the stairs upset that they weren't in the armory.

The black one Kohler spotted Jack and seethed "Well, well, well, look wha' have we got 'ere, Twiggy. Captain Jack Sparrow."

Jack moved up to the bars and placed his hands on the bars, furrowing his brow at his two mutineers. Kohler spat at his feet and smiled.

"Last time I saw ye, you was on a god forsakin' island, shrinkin' in to the distance." He added to his comrade, "His fortunes aren't improved much…" he scoffed.

"Ah, fortunes… I seem to know the fortunes of every man in here." I said standing up walking slowly over to the three men.

"Who are you?" Kohler breathed annoyed.

"She's no one you need be concern'n yourselves with." Jack said trying to shut me up but I went on anyway.

"May I tell your fortunes?" I asked putting on my fox face. Both men got big grins and nodded.

"Ah, Twiggy, watch out for a demon monkey. And the one you think is Boot Strap Bill's child. It will soon be the gallows for you." I warned. All three men looked at me shocked but I just smiled and continued.

"Poor Kohler, you will meet your end at the tip of a sword on a Royal Navy Vessel." I said cooing. He didn't seem to like this news because he thrust his arm into the cell and grabbed my neck.

"You don't know much do you wench?" he said expecting me to be surprised about the bones and such.

"Oh, you mean your Aztec curse? Oh, that will be lifted. Just in time for you to die!" I said happily flicking the bone of his arm. At this he got annoyed and threw me back into the cell. I landed on my arse but laughed all the same.

Both men walked out of the jail muttering to themselves. I was still laughing as I stood up and dusted my butt off.

"Well, that was fun." I said, "I wonder how many other people I'm going to get to freak out! Oh, I hope I get to do it to Barbossa!" I exclaimed giddily forgetting Jack was in the room.

"So there is a curse." Jack said looking out of the cell, "That's interesting." I noticed Jack again and crossed my arms.

" 'She's no one you need be concern'n yourselves with?' " I asked cocking an eyebrow at him.

"What? I don't remember, must not have happened." he exclaimed. I sighed and shook my head. I sat down on the stone bench and looked down at the gold ring Jack had given me about a week ago to be his first mate…lass.

"Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirates life for me…" I hummed as I watched the ring glisten.

I woke up the next morning with the sun coming down on my face, I looked around, my eyes blurred over from sleep. My head was rested on something soft, something like Jack. I blinked a few times and realized that my head was on his chest. And I was covered in his vest. Smiling I snuggled back down only to have Jack wake up and look over at me.

"Mornin' lass." he said stretching. I sat up and took his vest off of me and laid it over his torso.

"Good Morning Captain." I said smiling, "So is this a sign you've remembered?" I questioned.

"Sorry lass, I'm still a bit in the dark, but last night ye was shiverin' something awful, and I couldn't have my own personal crazy enchantress catchin' a cold on me." Jack mused.

"Oh, well that explains it." I yawned. I then remembered that Will was due any minute now, I scrambled up getting excited I looked outside scanning the landscape. Jack began to pick at the lock with the bone.

"Don't bother, William is coming soon to spring us." I said eyeing him humorously as he picked at the lock with the splintered bone.

"Well, when your prince charming doesn't show you will be thanking me for getting us out of 'ere." Jack scoffed. I laughed at him and reached into my pocket to withdraw a rusted key.

"Well, I think if he doesn't show you will be thanking me!" I said holding the key up. Jack's jaw dropped as he stared at the key.

"I thought ye said ye weren't magic." Jack accused. I smirked at him.

"I'm not, I took it from Samson while I was petting him!" I explained happily. Jack looked puzzled.

"Samson, ye got another man besides ol' Jack?" he said almost hurt. Man, even with his memory of me gone he was sure possessive.

"No, the dog numb nuts." I said, Jack nodded thoughtfully then tried to snatch the key from my hands. I pulled the key away and shook my finger.

"No Jack, we wait for William!" I said. Jack looked like a pouty child and laid down on the floor to spend the next few minutes not talking to me.

Will trounced down the stairs seconds later and stormed up to the cell. Not even taking note of me he stared straight at Jack.

"You, pirate!" Will said with a sternness I haven't seen in a long time.

"Aye?" Jack said, finally talking. Why he hated me so, I didn't know!

"You know of the Black Pearl?"

"I've 'eard of it."

"Where does it make berth?"

"Where does it make berth? 'Ave ye not heard the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isle de Muerta . An island that cannot be found, except, by those who already know where it is." Jack said with finality.

"How many times have you practiced that?" I asked Jack laughing. Will just looked at me for a moment and then returned his attention to Jack, which kind of hurt.

"The ship's real enough therefore it's anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?" William demanded. I can't believe he stilled cared so much about Elizabeth after the past few days unless…

"Why ask me?"

"Because you're a pirate."

"And ye want to turn pirate yeself, is that it?"

"Never!" William exclaimed. It hit me just then. The reason he didn't talk to me, the reason he was refering to Jack as just some pirate. He had forgotten too. Of course he had, everyone else had, why did I think this would be any different.

"They took Miss Swann." William said defeated.

"Oh, so it is that ye found a girl!" Jack exclaimed happily. I rolled my eyes. Once that girl was me. Maybe if I'd picked William this wouldn't had happened.

"Well," Jack went on "if you want to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady's heart, you'll have to do it alone mate. I see no profit in it for me." I glared down at Jack, he looked at me and rolled his eyes.

"I told you! I told you everything! And it has happened, so don't get that tone with him!" I said shaking my head in disappointment.

"Excuse me Miss have we met?" William asked me, I walked up to the bars and threw my hand through them to shake his.

"Alissa Duke of Greenland, so nice to meet you!" I said giggling, "So continue with Jack-ass here." I said. Both looked a little shocked but continued all the same.

"I can get you out of here!"

"How's that? Missy here has the key and isn't giving it up."

"I helped make these cells. These are half pin-barrel hinges." Jack was a little more than confused.

"With the right amount of leverage and the correct application of strength, the bars will lift free." Will explained grabbing a bench and putting it up to the bars ready to spring us.

"I told you!" I chimed to Jack who just gave me an annoyed look.

"Wha's your name, boy?" Jack asked.

"He's a little more than a boy, and I told you his name like five times!" I said exasperated.

"Will Turner." Will answered.

"That'd be short for William, good strong name, no doubt named after your father, eh?" Will gave a small nod. "Uh huh….well I've changed me mind. If you spring me, I swear on pain o' death, I will take you to the Black Pearl, and your bonny lass."

"Pain o' death huh, that doesn't sound very convincing." I said skeptically. Jack ignored me.

"Do we have an accord?" Jack questioned.

"Agreed." William said finally.

"Agreed! Get me out!" Jack said giddily. I rolled my eyes.

"Hurry!" Will ordered, "Someone will have heard that."

"Not without me effects!" Jack exclaimed reaching for his things.

Following Jack and William out of the jail I wondered if they would ever remember me again.
