The sky soon became dark and the hope for finding the pearl was fading. The crew members began to feel that is was a loss cause. This how ever did not kill the mood fro rum. Half of the men were sprawled out through the ship. Jaclyn who was standing at the side of the ship looking out to the darkness when she felt someone else presence along with her own. She turned to find Jack and she smiled. "Something has me baffled, Jack."
"What's that love?"
"How did I get better like that so fast? I mean not that I am ungrateful or anything but how was that possible, I was near death."
Jack was also confused by her miraculous recovery.
"I know exactly what you mean, love."
Jaclyn let out a little smile, she couldn't help it. The man made her heart smile and melt all together. She had no idea why this man got to her the way that he did especially after vowing to herself that she would never fall in love. But here she was in love with this man, Jack Sparrow. A pirate none the less.
"Jack I don't know what you did to vex me but you did. I love you," she reached up and placed he hand on his chest, it was smooth and warm she loved the way that it felt.
Jack smiled at her and stepped in closer to her and wrapped his fingers around her soft brown curls.
"I could say the same to you. I am a man who likes my freedom but you squeezed into this heart of mine."
They gazed into each others eyes and met at each others lips. Jack put his arm around her waist and pulled her even closer their bodies pushed against each other.
Jaclyn got nervous feeling and pushed him away from her, again.
"Every time I try to get close to you, you push me away." Jack said as he stepped back, hurt.
Jaclyn placed her hand on his arm in an attempt to comfort him, "I'm sorry. I'm just scared."
"Scared, scared about what?"
"This…us. Jack, long before I met you I promised myself that I would never fall in love and what have I gone and done. I have fall in love with you."
Jack thought for a moment, "I made the same promise to meself."
Jaclyn looked down to her feet. She was debating is she should tell Jack the truth of why she made this promise to her self.
"Jack you vowed that for different reasons than me. You see, on my twenty fifth birthday I am going to be apart of Davy Jones's crew," she looked up to see Jack's face, which was a face of shock and then disgust.
"Why would you have to do that," he asked trying to hold back his anger.
Jaclyn was again hesitant, "when my family and I were going to Port Royal from England we hit a reef. Davy and his crew came aboard the ship trying to recruit members for his crew. When it came to my family he was going to kill them, including me. I was sixteen at the time and I stood up for them and offered my soul at the age of twenty five."
Jack's face was expressionless. He stood in his place silent for a few moments, he finally spoke, "how old are you now?"
"Twenty. I have five years until I'm to serve on his crew. Trust me he doesn't let me forget it either. He haunts me dreams and me mind.:
"No worries, love. That means we have five years to find you a way out of this dreadful bond."
Jaclyn did a half smile but apart of her was still worried about what she was to do for Davy. There was a pain in her stomach just from the thought of what she had promised the vile man. It sickened her more because she did it for nothing. She made the promise for nothing.
Her family did not care for her as much as she did for them. They looked at her as an item they can gain a profit from.
"Damn my family," Jaclyn said in a low grumble.
Jack looked at her, "why?"
"It's their bloody fault why I have to do that. It's their fault they pushed me away! I hate them," Jaclyn stepped to Jack and laid her head on his chest, sobbing.
Jack wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. He then all of the sudden remembered the dream he has about her all those years ago.
In a low whisper Jack's voice filled her ears, "Jaclyn, I know this is going to sound odd but I had a dream that you stowed away on my ship when you were being forced by your family to marry a man that was twice your age if not more. Does any of this ring true?"
Jack slowly pushed her back so he could see the look in her eyes. The sobs had stopped and her face was frozen in shock.
"How is that possible? I did run away from Port Royal and I did stow away on a ship," she paused for a moment, "I had no idea it was yours. Nobody found me though. I got off at the first Port that you made which of course was Tortuga. I became a bar maid and lived there for two years. Then you came along and here I am."
The stars were no filling the sky as Jack and his love stood on the ship and shared their stories. After a couple of hours of talking they both felt it was best for them to go to bed. They next day was going to be a long one once they find the Pearl.
