Tortugan Beginnings
Where Did You Get Those?

The evening was quiet on the Black Pearl. The hum of the waves against the hull of the ship lulled her to sleep, as many nights had. Audrina Hart was still wary of the captain and wouldn't trust him unless he made a point to be trusted. She groaned, feeling the pain in her chest. Her façade was of a man so she strapped down whatever signs of femininity she possessed. And that included the rather medium sized breasts she had, after days of them being strapped down, they began to bruise and ache. She whispered his name, to make sure he was surely asleep. He did not stir.
With a gulp, she turned and removed the off white cotton shirt she usually wore. Gazing down at her chest, she slowly unwound the bandages that suppressed her femininity. When they were finally bare, she groaned, the bruises thankful for air. Sitting back on the hammock, she put the shirt on once more but still thankful for the freedom she had given herself in those few moments.

The rustling within the cabin stirred Jack Sparrow's fitful sleep. He was never one to fall into a deep sleep and was often woken by many things of the night. His time as a captain had indeed added to his light sleeping nature. The rustling of the hammock had woken him straight away, as had her soft voice pondering if he was indeed awake. For a moment, he himself wondered if he were to drop the façade and make her aware that he was indeed awake. But he wondered for a second, why she was awake and why she wished him to be asleep. She seemed content with him 'sleeping' and quickly removed her shirt. Jack peeked an eye opened, surprised to see the binding around her chest. Indeed he had wondered about such a thing but never cared to ask her in the few hours he was sure of her femininity.
As she unwrapped the binding on her breasts, he felt himself growing excited as any pirate would under that situation. He decided that he wouldn't wake and take advantage of the woman, he'd rather watch from afar for now. She didn't seem to notice his eyes slightly split, half open and half closed, the darkness of his eyes merging in with the darkness of the cabin. As her binding was undone, she groaned a sigh of relief and turned towards the window that was spilling in moonlight. Unaware that he was watching her, she gazed out into the moonlight, in Jack Sparrow's sleeping form's direction. Jack Sparrow was surprised at the small, purple bruises on her stomach make its way up her abdomen onto her breasts. He wondered if it was from the binding or being abused. Her breasts were average, medium sized that weren't overly perky and rather normal looking. The nipples hardened into small buds, reacting to the cold of the caressing wind.
Jack Sparrow very badly wanted to make his presence known but held his tongue; no good would come from the situation. As she turned back to the hammock, fresh scars adorned her pale skinned back. They were long and ranged from her shoulder blade to the small of her back. He frowned, knowing that she couldn't see him. They looked like whip welts or scars.
He suddenly felt sympathy for her. Jack realized that many captains saw women nothing more then whores and objects and treated them as such. That treatment would be far worse for a woman who actually fooled the captain, lied to him. Jack wondered how many cruel things had happened to Audrina Hart in her lifetime. As she slipped on her shirt without the bindings, Jack was disappointed; he had hoped she would fall asleep topless and he could awake with her being so. That surely soured his moods as she slipped the shirt back on. He began to be lulled into sleep from the rocking of the ship.

The sunlight spilled into the room, the sky tinted orange and pink from the new arrival of the sun. Jack's eyes fluttered opened. His hand immediately went to shield his eyes and within a few moments, was quite used to the sunlight. Remembering what had happened in the night, he averted his eyes to the hammock, where Audrina slept peacefully. She hadn't returned the bindings and the bump by her chest was evident now. The white cotton shit didn't hide much and some of her cleavage was revealed. Biting his lip, he watched her for a moment and then smiled. He definitely could get used to mornings like that but how to get her to warm his bunk, he pondered.
A part of him, the angel that sat on his shoulder, warned him not to take advantage of a clearly abused girl. The other part, the devil that was clearly more fun sat on the opposite shoulder, reminding him of his motto if you will. Take what you can. The devil offered in his mind and Jack gladly returned the next part. Give nothing back. With a grin, he sat back on the bunk and eyed the sleeping lady for a few moments, his grin widening as her eyes started to flutter open.
"G'mornin' luv." Jack said in a very chipper voice, for he was indeed a morning person. A groan from Audrina assured him that she, on the other hand, was not. "Where did ya get those?" He asked, grinning, and averting his eyes to her very obvious bosom.
"Keep your eyes to yourself, Captain." Audrina hissed and was eager to apply the binding once more. She found the bandages on the floor and realized she would need Lucas or Jack's help. "I need to reapply these bandages; do you think you can get Lucas for me? I don't trust any one on this ship but him."
"Oh? Yer don't trust me, luv? I'd be happy ter do it or you." Jack slurred, grinning at the position Audrina was in. "Why der yer want to remain a man?"
"I'd rather die then willing let you touch me." She retorted and narrowed her blazing eyes on him. "Because I want to be treated fairly. Like a man, not a woman."
Jack feigned a mock pout and frowned. "I'd simply be helpin' you in yer deception, luv." He offered. "Really, you have to let me. I don't think yer going to be goin' out on deck without him. And last I recalled, Lucas Hart was on deck."
Audrina looked horrified for a moment, narrowing her eyes on him. She knew she had to let the captain do it, she couldn't do it herself, it would hurt too much from the fresh wounds on her back. And she couldn't Jack see the whip marks. She didn't want his sympathy or pity. No one had seen them expect the men that harmed her and Lucas. She bit her lip hard, almost drawing blood and scowled at Jack; fearing tears would prick at her eyes. She shook them away and looked at him with such a hatred he had never seen before. He almost felt sorry that he had asked her of such a thing. He laid a hand on her shoulder and she retreated from his touch, the scowl gracing her features deepening even more.
"I'll go get yer brother, luv."
Audrina Hart had never been more surprised in her life.

Lucas Hart barged through the Captain's Quarters faster then Audrina herself had even anticipated. His bronze skinned was slick with sweat and his black hair sticking to his body. His large turquoise eyes were concerned, caring and was by his sister's side within a minute. He held her close to him, before turning to glare at the captain. They were all the same, weren't they? Lucas told himself to expect it. They were after all, pirates and this was the lifestyle him and his sister had choose. Jack watched the twins carefully, Lucas seemed to love his sister more then life it self and the same could be said for Audrina. Lucas' eyes widened as he saw her chest bare within the shirt she was wearing.
"Are you alright, Aud?" He asked worriedly and was relieved when she briefly nodded before averting her eyes to the captain who still managed to flabbergast her by each passing week.
Jack sauntered up between the two and backed up a bit when he received a less then friendly stare. "If yer implying I touched her or did somethin' to her honor, yer sadly mistaken, boy. I could have easily taken advantage of Miss Hart but did not and found you." He didn't like explaining himself on his own ship.
Lucas eyed the bronze-skinned captain warily before averting his eyes to Audrina and was even more relieved when she slowly nodded. Maybe Captain Jack Sparrow was a better man then either of them had predicated. He gathered the bandages in his arms and bit his lip. He wasn't quite sure if the captain was going to stay but didn't know exactly what to say to him.
"Erm, I should get you bandaged up now." Lucas started and glanced at the captain. "Are you going to watch or leave, Captain?" He inquired, wrinkling his nose and hoped it was the latter of the two.
"That depends on Miss Hart." Jack grinned.
"Well, Captain, why don't you turn your pretty little head around, savvy?" Audrina snapped and Jack's grin only widened. She and Lucas both were rather relieved when he did turn.
Audrina peeled her shirt off; she was no longer modest or shy around her brother. They did what they could to stay alive. They knew many would look down on them but who else could she trust. Surely not a man called Captain Jack Sparrow. Lucas gazed at her scars and bruises and he hugged her tight to him. He hated the men that touched his sister and harmed her. The bruises were finally fading, expect the one's on her breasts and stomach where she had been bound. Lucas Hart hoped that Jack Sparrow wouldn't add to the many injuries on her body. He quickly bound her and she put her shirt back on.
"I'll be in the galley, Audrina." Lucas said, smiling softly. "Call me if you need me."
He left the cabin shortly and went to her feet to gaze at herself in Jack's mirror. What looked back was a moderately pretty girl, sun tinted skin and long black hair that was well beyond her shoulders. She saw a girl and for once hesitated to remove that femininity. She quickly began to braid to hair and tied a black bandana around her head. Adding the gold hoop earring on her right ear and placing the kohl on her eyes, she quickly began to resemble Jimmy Hart and not Audrina Hart. Jack was still there, watching her for a moment while they were both broken out of their dazes when the sound of shouting echoed in the cabin.
The door burst open and Gibbs' brow immediately rose when he saw Jimmy Hart and Jack Sparrow in the Captain's Quarters. Jack frowned at this and turned to 'Jimmy', scowling, winking for Audrina to catch his drift and she did. "Er…sorry for the intrusion, Cap'n." Gibbs stuttered, looking from Jack to 'Jimmy'.
"I'll take ter yer later, Jimmy. Teach yer more about the helm next time." Jack said, pushing her towards the door not so gently. As she disappeared, he turned to Gibbs. "Takin' the boy under my wing. Savvy?"
"Oh, good. I was beginning to think the worst, Cap'n." Gibbs sighed in relief.
Jack frowned at this but remembered the shouting only moments before. "Well what was the purpose of the intrusion, Joshamee?" Jack pondered.
"Oh! The merchant vessel the Jade Lady is closin' in on us. They seem to be foreign and don't know who we are." Joshamee explained.
"Run up our colors, hopefully the unfortunate soul captaining the ship has more sense to surrender then fight." Jack sighed before leaving the room quickly, his sword and pistol at his belt.
