A/N: I apologize for the long delay. I've had a bit of writer's block for the past couple weeks. I would like to add that this story does not have any thing from Dead Man's Chest (though it was a brilliant film :) )

Disclaimer: I don't own PotC,it belongs to Disney.

Now without further ado... (Drum roll please) Chapter Five!

Jack smirked.

"As ye wish, love."

He dropped her down on the deck. She stumbled back and fell to the hard wooden deck. She let out a gasp as she hit the deck.

"Ow. What the bloody hell was that for!"

"You, ma dear, punched me in the nose."

"And ye, Captain, left me all alone in Port Royal. Ya deserved it!"

Jack leaned down and pulled Scarlet to her feet. He practically dragged her to the Captain's Cabin. He pushed her in front of him into the cabin and closed the door behind him. Scarlet spun around to face Jack as the door closed. He turned to her.

He said "Okay love. Who are ye? And when did I supposedly leave ye in Port Royal?"

Despite his cool exterior Jack's mind was racing. 'Could this be the girl I left in Port Royal five years ago? The stories make it possible. She even kind of looks like her.'

"Me name used ta be Rebecca Fazio. Ya left me in Port Royal five years ago. A pirate had attempted to rape me and you rescued me. The same pirate came back and killed my father and attempted to kidnap me. You, again, saved me. After that I stayed with Will and Elizabeth Turner. You were staying there too. I was about to attempt to jump off the balcony when you, yet again, rescued me. A friend of mine, Thomas, came back and you decided to leave. Before you left I came to apologize for ignoring you when Thomas was there. You kissed me and I ran out of the room. You left the next morning at sunrise. I came to the cove to say goodbye to you. You were angry and looked hurt. I watched you sail away leaving me alone in Port Royal with a broken heart."

Jack was speechless for a moment.

He finally asked "Becky?"

"I was. It's now Captain Scarlet."

This pissed off pirate captain was the women Jack Sparrow had left on the beach five years ago.

He said "When did ye become a pirate, love?"

"I'm not yer love Sparrow. I became a pirate a month after ya left. I learned that my grandfather and my great-grandfather were both pirates. I booked passage to Tortuga under the name of Scarlet. The bloody nickname you gave me. The day you left Norrington came and told me that in my father's will he appointed James my guardian and he was to find me a husband. He chose Thomas. Everything went fine 'til Thomas proposed and then when I declined because I was in love with another man he told me that I would marry him. I told him no and that I would never marry someone that I didn't love. I left leaving a letter explaining everything to Elizabeth and Will. I knew Will would understand if Lizzie didn't. After three months in Tortuga I sailed out. I haven't been back to Port Royal in five years. I've only heard from Will and Lizzie twice since then."

Jack looked over the pirate lass before him, finally getting to take in the full picture. She wore a white, long sleeved shirt with a low neckline. A black corset covered most of the shirt. Tight black pants covered her legs and tucked into knee-high, black, heeled boots. A red sash was tied around her small waist. Jack could see the grip of a pistol tucked into the sash. Her compass hung from the black leather belt around her sash. Her sword and knife were in their sheaths on her belt.

Her hands rested on her hips. She had a blood red stone on a silver band on her left hand and an emerald stone set in silver on her right hand. Several bangles encircled her wrists.

Jack's eyes traveled up Scarlet's body to her neck. He noticed the red stone hanging from the black string around her neck. It was deep red and shaped like a heart. The hook it hung on was silver and encrusted with four diamonds.

Her auburn hair was tied back at the back of her head. It was tied with a scarlet red ribbon. Scarlet's lips were painted a deep red and her dark brown eyes were circled with kohl.

After a tense moment of silence Jack finally asked "Why'd ya become a pirate, love?"

"Again Sparrow, Iain't not yer love. I became a pirate because I needed freedom. I needed to get away from Port Royal and all the goddamn memories that place holds."

Scarlet shot a glare at Jack. She continued.

"If I left Port Royal there was less of a chance of having to see you again. You visited Will and Lizzie often and I couldn't handle having to see you there again. So I left."

Jack stared at Scarlet. He started hesitantly "Love…"

Scarlet snapped.

"Damn it Sparrow! I am not yer love!"

Suddenly Jack reached out and grabbed Scarlet's wrist. He spun her around and pinned her to the wall that had just been behind him. He gripped her wrists and pinned them above her head.

Scarlet looked up at Jack, surprised.

He said "Ye tortured me. The day before I left was the most painful day of me life. I knew I couldn't have ye yet ya tempted me. Ye were upper class and I'm a pirate. Like ye said that day, I'd be hung."

Scarlet, recovering from the shock of being pinned to the wall, glared up into Jack's dark eyes.

She whispered "I could hurt ya right now, Jack. And it wouldn't be a punch in the nose."

Jack's eyes grew wide when he realized what, exactly, Scarlet was implying.

Seeing his reaction Scarlet said "Now let go of me before I 'ave to hurt you."

When he didn't move to release her she said "Ya seem ta forget Jack, I'm a pirate. And a well known and feared one at that. Just because ya knew what I used to be doesn't mean I won't hurt you. Now let go of me."

Jack finally released his firm grip on Scarlet's wrists. She brought her arms down and rubbed her wrists.

"Why the hell'd ya do tha'?"

Scarlet looked up and made eye contact with Jack. Instead of answering her question he said "I can't loose ya again, Scarlet."

Suddenly, Jack didn't look like a pirate to Scarlet anymore.

Jack put his hands on Scarlet's hips and gently pulled her forward. Leaning down he brought his lips to hers in a (dare I say it) gentle kiss. Scarlet closed her eyes and instinctively wrapped her arms around Jack's neck. Jack stepped forward pushing Scarlet's back against the cabin wall. The kiss became passionate.

When the need for air became too much the two broke apart. Scarlet laid her head against Jack's strong chest.

Jack whispered "I'm not lettin' ye go again."

Scarlet looked up, shocked. That was not something she ever thought she'd hear a pirate say. Especially not in that context.

Jack said "Now let's get ye back ta yer grand ship afore yer crew try ta kill me fer kidnappin' their cap'n."

Before Jack opened the door, to lead Scarlet out of the cabin, she turned to him. Standing on her tip toes she kissed Jack lightly on the lips. Dropping back to her feet she turned and opened the door walking out into the hot Caribbean sun.

She walked to the side of the Pearl and took one of the ropes. She climbed onto the rail and swung from the Pearl over to the Rose. She landed gracefully on the black wooden deck. She turned to her crew and shouted "Make ready to set sail!" "Aye Cap'n!" echoed across the ship.

The sails were set and the crew started to haul in the anchor.

Scarlet heard the shout ring across the Pearl.

"Sail Ho!"

Scarlet spun around to look at the Pearl. Jack stood at the helm, spyglass in hand. He was looking across the Crimson Rose to the horizon behind it. Scarlet spun on her heel to see a ship coming towards them from the east.

Scarlet yelled "Load the cannons! Prepare for battle!"

Scarlet took the steps up to the helm two at a time.

Jack called "Who is it!"

Scarlet turned to face him.

"It's yer bloody, goddamn friend the bloody Commodore Norrington!"
