DICLAIMER: I don't own POTC.
Someone told me that they didn't understand the last chapter, they didn't realize it was Jack's point of view, so just to make it clear. This is Jack's point of veiw. Ok, and Thanks to Mrs. St. John Allerdyce for bringing this to my attention. Sorry for the confustion!
Moving on...
Jack stood staring at Rebecca.
Wonderful. I just completly shot all chances of a good impression. Good job, Jack.
"Come on, now, I promise, no pirates on her are after you now. And if they are..." Jack looked to the sky, as if looking for an answer. Hmm. There really shouldn't be, maybe if I don't answer, she won't notice. Jack turned and walked up the gangplank. Gibbs walked over to Jack. He had already noticed Rebecca following him.
"Jack, we can't be havin' anymore women aboard, tis bad luck." He warned.
"Now, now, Gibbs, is that the way to act when I introduce the Captain's daughter?"Gibbs stood wide eyed. Jack motioned for him to listen.
"Now, she doesn't know, and I want it to stay that way, understood? I want to know more about her, and the necklace she be wearin'." Jack was talking about the sea-green rock that hung around Rebecca's neck.
"Now, be nice to our guest. Introduce yerself, and don't act superstisious or nothin', savvy?" Gibbs nodded to Jack, then walked over to Rebecca.
"Greetin's, miss. I be Gibbs, first mate. And who might I be havin' the pleasure of meetin'?" Gibbs asked.
As if he doesn't know. Jack thought.
"My name is Rebecca Smith, uhhh, not much of anything, really." She replied. He smiled at her.
"Well, you look like a young lady to me." Gibbs pointed out.
At least he's bein' nice.
"Besides that. I guess it's right to assume your a pirate to, then?" She asked smiling.
"Aye, that I am, all of us be some sort a' pirate."He replied.
"Jack, are we leavin' yet?" Will had just come up from below deck. Jack gave him a "Shut up" look, and he dodged back.
"What do you mean 'leaving'?"Rebecca asked.
Wonderful. No surprises now.
Nobody answered her. "I should probably go." She turned around to realize that the gangplank was no longer there. She spun around, right into Jack's face.
He whispered one thing in her ear.
"Welcome aboard the Black Pearl."
Jack watched Rebecca, who was crouched in a corner on deck. He motioned to Gibbs.
"Go make sure she eats somthin'." Gibbs nodded and hurried down to get her some food. He brought up a plate and walked over to her. She didn't seem happy. He talked to her, sat down, they talked some more.
I wonder what the're sayin'.
Rebecca fiddled with her neclace, then Gibbs got up and walked over to Jack.
"About that necklace. She claims her father left it for her the night he dissapeared. Doesn't sound familliar to you Jack, does it?"
"Go get Elizibeth, maybe talkin' to another girl will make her more comfortable." Jack said.
"What 'bout Anamaria?" Gibbs asked.
"She's on lookout. Go get Elizabeth." Jack said. Suddenly, he had a flashback.
"Look, Elenor. I know I told you I wouldn't set foot on another ship, but I have to go. Barbossa is upset I got off that island, and if he found out about you and Rebecca, you would kill you both." Jack explained.
"You promised not to go." Elenor wispered. Her eyes flashed between anger and sadness.
"I also promised to keep you safe, when we got married. Remember that? I will be back as soon as he is no longer a threat. I will just go talk to him, maybe that's all he needs. I'll tell him to keep the Pearl. I'll be back." Jack smoothed her hair.
"But what about Rebecca? What will she think when she wakes and finds her father just dissapeared? She has nothing to even remember you, how will she remember you when and if you come back?" Elenor was on the verge of breaking down.
"I gave her a necklace, something I made, I used that green rock I found by the wheel on the Pearl, remember that one? It wasn't there on minute and it was the next, and I always thought it a good luck charm. I made it into a neclace and left it on her pillow when I tucked her in. I promise I will be back. Don't worry. And if anything happens, you move. It won't be hard for me to find you, you are my greatest treasure." He kissed her, and walked out the door.
Jack was interrupeted by Elizebeth, who had just come from below deck.
"You needed to see me?" She asked.
"Yes, see that girl over there? Her name is Rebecca. I want you to go talk to her. I don't care what it is, so long as its not about how drunk I can get, or something bad about me. Just get her comfortable 'bout bein' here. Understood?" Jack asked.
"Yes, but why me?" Elizabeth asked quzzically.
"Because you're a girl and Anamarie is on duty." Jack suddenly realized Rebecca was on her way over.
"Know what? Never mind. You can go back to whatever you were doin'." Jack said. Elizabeth turned and walked away in confusion. Then Jack realized that by the look on Rebecca's face, she didn't know that there were female pirates.
