Yeah! I am updating like crazy! Of couse it's not that hard, all I have to do is change Rebecca's thoughts to Jacks. I love reviews, and since I forgot to say it last chapter, here it is again. I love reviews. And just in case, This chapter is in Jack's point of veiw. Ok, back to the story...
"Hallo, my name's Elizibeth, I suppose you're Rebecca?" Elzabeth said.
"Uhh, yeah, I'm Rebecca. How did ya know?" Rebecca asked.
"Jack was telling me about you, a little, at least what he knows." Elizibeth answered.
"What are you doing on here? It doesn't look like your kidnapped." Rebecca asked.
"I'm a pirate, same as evry one else on this ship." She replied simply.
"Uh, Elizibeth, luv, would you mind goin' and checkin' on Will, I haven't seen him since we set off." Jack asked. Elizebeth nodded and walked down below deck.
Good, she's gone.
"Are you two married? That would just make you the oddest band of pirates I ave ever heard of." Rebecca asked. Jack was caught off guard.
"No, I haven't been married since my wife, and daughter, died. That's Will's wife." Jack said. "So, now, you've been kidnapped by pirates, fed disgusting food, seen a living female pirate, and you have no weapons or belongings to be spoken of." Jack clicked his toung. "What terrible luck."
"Well, at least the captain is somewhat entertaining, I couldn't care less about the female pirate, I didn't eat the food, and I do have a few things of mine that I wear, such as this necklace, which your first mate told me is the reason I'm here. I don't usually like being the odd one out, so would you tell me why this is soo important? I will give you the necklace, if that's what you want." Rebecca said.
"No." Jack said, not looking at her.
"No what?" Rebecca asked.
"I don't want that necklace. I want to know how you got it." Jack said.
"That's it? Why didn't you just ask me that at the tavern? It would have been all said and done then and there, but instead you keep me captive on some disqusting priate's ship." Jack realized that would have been a better aproach. But instead of proving her right, he decided to change the subject.
"Disgusting?" Jack asked, offended. Good, she forgot about her bein' righ, now back to family ties... "How did you get the necklace, Rebecca?" Jack asked. Rebecca sighed.
"If I told you, it would get very into my life, and I don't want to tell my history to some strange pirate." She did her "told ya so" look again. Jack sighed. This would be more difficult than planned.
Why did she have to inheret my stubborness?
"Gibbs! I need you to come and take over for a moment, I need to go talk to Miss Smith." Jack yelled. He would rather find out about this in private.
"Yes, sir."Gibbs rushed over. Jack led Rebecca below deck, and into a room, when he locked the door behind them.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Now, you are going to tell me where the necklace came from. There aren't any strange pirates around anymore." Jack smirked.
"UGGHH! How does your crew put up with you?!?!" Rebecca exclaimed. Jack grinned.
"They know I carry a pistol." He replied. "Now, about the necklace."
Rebecca sighed."Fine, if you let me off at the next port, and you promise to leave me alone. Promise?" She asked.
Alright, Jack, how do you get out of this one? Then an idea hit him.
"I promise to leave you alone." Jack repeated as he rolled his eyes.
"Ok, when I was three, my father disapeared. I don't know why, I remember he had tucked me in, like always, and mum and dad didn't fight, but when I woke up in the morning, he was gone. This necklace was on my pillow by my head with a note on it." Rebecca explained.
"What did the note say?" Jack asked. He had almost forgotten about the note.
"Uhh, wait, I still have it." Rebecca reached into her pocket on her vest and pulled out a crumpled, worn, and torn peice of yellowed paper.
"It was only scrap paper..." Jack almost wispered. He had grabbed it and written on it on the way upstairs.
"What did you say?" Rebecca asked as she unfolded it.
"Nothing. What does it say?" He asked, much louder this time.
Rebecca read the note out loud. "It says:
Dearest Rebecca,
I cannot be here anymore with you,
I can't tell you why,
This necklace is how I will know who you are
If I ever manage to see you again.
Dad.
Jack and Rebecca stood silently for a moment, Jack staring at the note, and Rebecca staring at Jack.
"Jack, are you ok? You don't look good." Rebecca asked.
"Ya, I'm fine." He turned to leave.
"Remember, the very next port, I'm off." Rebecca said, following him. He pushed her back.
"You, stay in here, and you aren't going on any port." He said. Rebecca looked stunned.
"You promised!" She shouted.
"No, I belive I promised to leave the necklace subject alone, I only said I would drop you off, and we all know that what pirates "say" is untrustworthy." With that, he closed the door, leaving Rebecca alone in the small cabin.
Jack stood out in the hall, leaning against the door. There was plenty of proof now, she was definatly his daughter. Rebecca could stay in the cabin until they passe the next port, so she wouldn't run off. He had seen it before they had gone down. He wanted to tell her, but he didn't want to know the answer to the question that would follow the explanation. What did she think of him? He could only imagine horrible things she would say about him. How he left her, didn't save her from Barbossa, let her mother die, he knew all that she could say. He blamed himself for all of that. Jack rubbed his forehead and walked upstairs.
