It was a wonder to me how Jack and I had managed to make our way to the deck without getting caught, if had just been me alone trying to escape, I would've been caught in seconds. I guess Jack just had an aura of good luck that was surrounding him.

But now that we had made it to the deck, we still had to make our way through the cannon fire and chaos that was erupting all around us. I was stumped (of course), but Jack, being the quick thinker that he always is, grabbed my hand and dragged me up to the railing with him. As one of the pirates was swinging back over to the Pearl, he stuck out his hand, catching the rope the pirate was holding onto, making him go flying behind us.

Jack smiled slightly and offered me the rope. "Ladies first."

"I don't think so."

He frowned then shrugged. "Fine, then." He retorted. With a sudden and swift movement, he unexpectedly wrapped his arm around my waist before I could protest, and swung us off the side of the ship.

If it weren't for suddenly being airborne and having the feeling of weightlessness, I would've kill him right then and there, saving Barbossa the hassle. I glanced below us, but only for a second before my fear got the best of me and I stared fixedly ahead. I noticed Jack glance at me, a smile spreading across his face for split second, then just a fast as it had appeared, it disappeared in an instant, being replaced with a scowl.

I was confused by his actions when our feet finally hit the deck of the Interceptor. As soon as we landed, he let go of me, pushing me away like I was some disease he could suddenly catch. If it weren't for Gibbs, who I had been pushed into, I would've ended up falling over.

What the hell was that for?

I looked up at him, expecting an explanation, but he wasn't paying attention. He looking fixedly at Gibbs who for some reason, was surprised to see him alive.

"Jack?"

Jack reached inside of shirt and pulled out a canteen, which I recognized as Gibbs', and handed it to him. "Bloody empty." He noted, before running off. Gibbs stared at the canteen for a moment, then looked up at me.

"Cassandra?"

I had no time for this, I need to find Will. "Where is he?" I asked him franticly.

"Who?"

"WILL!"

Gibbs opened his mouth to speak, but stopped when he his eyes fell on something behind me. I turned around, hoping it was Will, but was just as happy to see Elizabeth running toward me.

"Eliza-" I started to say, but was cut off when she gave a bone crushing hug.

"Cassandra! I can't believe it!" She exclaimed. "You're alive!"

I sure hope I am, and let's keep it that way.

Gibbs watched us for a moment before punching an incoming attacking pirate in the face and running off, glad to get away for the sort of bitter sweet moment between Elizabeth and I.

"Where were you?" She asked me, releasing me.

"Well, Ja-"

I was cut off by a horrible screeching coming from behind me. I turned to find a crazy-eyed pirate, head thrown back and screaming a sort of battle cry, readying to attack us.

Oh shit...

He made a sudden rush at us. Elizabeth and I readied ourselves while in the back of my mind, I wished I had a pistol to shoot this guy with. Just as he reached us and raised his sword to plunge into me, a sudden hand grabbed the handle, stopping him. We all looked up to see Jack, his eyes going from me, to the pirate, and to the pirate's sword.

"That's not very nice."

It was an opportune moment, I punched the guy in the face, making him fall off the side of the ship.

"Thanks." I said to Jack, who once again ignored me. He went down to to his knees and pulled Elizabeth down with him.

"Where's the medallion?"

What medallion?

"Wretch!" She screams at him, and raises her hand to slap him. Before she could, though, he caught her hand and examined it. After a moment, a smile spreads across his face.

"Ahh. Where's dear William?"

Her eyes went wide and she looked over her shoulder at something distant. "Will..." She said to herself before racing off after whatever it was.

It was suddenly quiet, Jack and I looked at each other for moment.

"You scare me." I suddenly blurted out, making him frown slightly.

"Shut up, Alexandra."

Alexandra?

"What?"

His eyes were wide as he scanned my face. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

"Why would you call me that?"

He bit his lip before something behind me caught his eye. "MONKEY!" He screamed, running off. I frowned at the place he had been standing, now more confused than ever.

Why would he call me by my mother's name?

I wanted to sit and think this mystery out, but when I turned around, I ran into someone I really didn't want to see at the moment. The Bo'sun was smiling down at me, his teeth the ugly shade of yellow.

"Uh...Hi?"

And just as I suspected he would, he slung me over his shoulder, carrying me back over to the Pearl.
