-1Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean. For I am a girl and the makers are, in fact, boys.

A:N: Hey lads and lasses! Thanks for all the lovely reviews. Here's the next chapter!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You know, gentlemen, that I am a woman and should be handled as such!" I yelled as I was manhandled by the soldiers that were taking Jack and I to our cells. At least, I assumed we would be in separate cells. Maybe I would get to break out and go into the cell that all those other pirates were in. Never mind, that would be bad, seeing as I was a woman and would probably be taken advantage of. Gross!

"Mam, if you would stop struggling, we would be happy to have you walk on your own." Fat guard number 1 said. I sighed and let my arms go limp. The soldiers grinned and then picked me up off of my feet and hauled me away.

"Stop! You get your filthy hands off of my butt!" O.k. this was soo wrong. I was getting felt up by a soldier from the Queen's navy. Once again, Gross!

"Mate, I think you should put the lass down." Came the smooth drawl of Captain Sparrow from behind us. Then I heard him let out a laugh. Oh, this was so not funny.

"I think I can handle myself Mr. Sparrow." I said continuing my fruitless efforts to get away from the perverted guards.

"Jus' tryin' to help luv." Jack said. How come they weren't being nearly as rough with him as they were with me. This is so sexist.

"You know what boys, I think that I've had about enough of this." I said and with a well aimed punch, I hit one of them in the jaw. Maybe I shouldn't have done that though, because the soldier dropped me and half of my body fell to the ground. Now they had me by just my feet and were dragging me down the roll of cells. Note to self: Cobblestone floors HURT! I crossed my arms and huffed. This was so unfair. I hope that Maria is having a better time than I am.

"Sparrow, get in the cell." One of the guards said. I looked over to where Jack tipped an imaginary hat at the guard, since the took his real hat, and walked into the cell. The guards turned to me and smiled. This was going to be fun, I thought.

"Ready, Ms. Downs?" The fatter guard asked. "For what." I said. They just rolled their eyes and lifted me up in the air again. Oh great. "One, two, three!" they shouted and I felt my body being thrown into the cell. I let out a small squeak and got ready for the impact with the ground. But it never came. I looked up into Jack's dark, chocolaty brown eyes. He had caught me, my hero, I thought sarcastically.

"You should really learn how to treat a lady." Jack told the soldiers. They gave him a glare and slammed the door to the cell.

"You can put me down now." I said as I started to wiggle around to try and adjust my shirt which had ridden up around my stomach. Jack just smirked and tightened his grip around me.

"I quite like how we are right now, luv." Jack said. I glared at him and reached my hand up to his face. I ran my hand across his cheek and when he wasn't expecting it, slapped him.

"Ow, ow, ow!" He yelled dropping me to the ground. It hurt, but I brushed it off. I got up off the floor and straightened my clothes.

"You should probably learn how to treat a woman as well, Sparrow. Stupid pervert." I said as I walked to the bench thingy at the other end of the cell.

"One, I am no pervert. Two, I know how to treat a lady because I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. And three, I was just havin a bit o' fun, luv." Jack said coming to sit next to me. I rolled my eyes and pushed him on the arm. He didn't move though, so I crossed my arms across my chest and sighed.

"Well, my bad. Oh and my name's Taylor. Not luv." I said acting angry, but I really did like it when he called me luv. I just didn't like the way I almost fell to the floor when he said it.

"Alright luv." He said with a smirk. Thank goodness I was sitting down because I would have surely fallen to the ground. Gods he was sexy. Jack turned to me and smirked again, showing his gold capped teeth.

"What are you smirking at?" I asked, starting to get annoyed at the way he was looking at me. He moved a little closer to me so that I was pressed against the wall. I swallowed and licked my suddenly dry lips. Not a good thing to do, obviously, since I was so close to Jack and his eyes swept down to where my tongue had been.

"Well luv, I didn't know you thought I was sexy." he said. Oh CRAP! I had said that out loud. How stupid could I get?

"I don't know what your talking about." I said. "Oh I think you do." He said and pushed a little closer so that he was flushed up against me. He smirked again and I closed my eyes so that I wouldn't have to see how handsome he was with the last of the day light shining through the cell window.

"That's enough!" I heard someone say and Jack backed off of me. I opened my eyes and saw Commodore Norrington standing at the entrance to the jail cell, glaring at Jack. "You will leave this girl alone. Do you understand, Sparrow?" He asked Jack, who just smiled and saluted him.

"And you, miss. Will not provoke him into anything that I would condone inappropriate." Commodore said. I smiled and sat up a little more. I walked to the entrance of the cell and got as close as I could.

"What would that be Commodore?" I asked and reached my hand through the door to grab onto his coat. "Would this be inappropriate?" I ran my hand down his arm. "Or would this be considered bad." I said and ran my hand along his belt. The Commodore's face flushed and he backed away. He cleared his throat and walked out of the room. I laughed and then went to sit on the ground next to the bench, twirling the keys I had knicked discreetly around my fingers.

I looked over to the next cell where all of the prisoners were up against the cell door calling for the dog and whistling. 'Come 'ere boy. How's 'bout a nice, juicy bone." One of the them asked. I looked up at Jack who was sitting with his back against the wall and now had a hat. I wondered where he had gotten that. He turned his head so that he was looking at the prisoners and rolled his eyes.

"You can keep doing that forever, the dog is never going to move." He said sarcastically. I sat up a little. This was the best Jack ever looked in the next part. The prisoners looked over into our cell, looking a little skeptical.

"Well, excuse us if we haven't resigned ourselves to the gallows just yet." One of the braver ones said. Jack just smiled and tipped his hat down a little lower. He closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. I looked around and then dropped the keys I had stole down my shirt, then reached my hand up towards Jack.

I touched his arm, and he didn't move, so I figured it would be safe. I got on my knees and slowly inched my hand forward, all the while watching him for any movement. I put my hand on the top of his hat and just before I pulled it off, a tan wrist shot out and grabbed my hand. I screamed because I hadn't been expecting it and looked down into Jack's now awake face. "I'd rather you leave me hat alone. Aye?"

"Uh, yeah, sure." I stuttered, then sat back down opposite of Jack. He tilted his hat back down over his eyes, but I had the feeling that they weren't going to be completely closed again. I sighed and wondered what Maria was doing right now.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Maria's Point of View

After Taylor and Jack were taken to jail, Will had asked if I would mind watching him work. I said I wouldn't and I hadn't, until about 20 minutes into his work. He was so absorbed and it seemed as if there was nothing I could do that would take his mind off of his work. So I had started to braid my hair into tiny braids. Needless to say that I was finished now and I had close to 50 braids in my hair, so I had taken to watching Will work again. I sighed and wondered how Taylor could resist his charms. He had it all. Don't get me wrong, Jack Sparrow is one hot man, but Will just had so much more. I mean, he was hard working, caring, beautiful, and even though he was a bit of a tense person, he got better by the end of the movie. He looked up at me and let out a small laugh when he noticed my hair.

"I'm sorry if I'm boring you Miss Bloom." He said and I blushed. I cant believe I told him that my last name was Bloom. Gosh, how desperate could I be.

"Not at all William, and you may call me Maria if you like." I said in my most proper accent. It really was fun being somewhere where I could use my natural accent. I wonder how Taylor is doing though, she sounds a tad Australian when she tries to do a British accent.

"All right then, Maria. You must call me Will though." Will said with a smile. "So, how did you get involved with a pirate? And for a best friend none the less."

"Well, she isn't really a pirate. She just dresses like one. It's not really fair that ol' Norry put her in jail. Especially with that dreadful pirate.' I said, faking that I was really scared for her. She had to be having the best time of her life with Jack Sparrow. She's only been in love with him for years.

"Yes, we'll have to do something to let the Commodore let her out. He really is a bit pompous, don't you think?" Will asked me. I smiled and nodded. It had now grown almost completely dark and it was starting to get a bit eerie. It must almost be time for the Pearl to get here. I wonder if I have to go with Will when he goes into battle. I have no idea how to use a sword. Oh well, I'll ask him.

"Um, Will. Could you show me how to work a sword?" I asked giving him my best puppy dog eyes. I have to say, they're quite good, even if Tay's are better.

"Of course. If you don't mind me asking though, why do you want to learn how to use a sword?" Will asked, clearly befuddled. Hmm, lets think of a good reason. Ah, I've got it.

"Well, just incase I wanted to be able to fend myself off. You know, if someone was coming after me or something." I said trying to be convincing. Evidently he bought it because he smiled and led me over to where some of the finished swords were. He picked up a few swords for me to try the weight out so they wouldn't drag my hand down.

"O.k." he said when we had found one that worked. "You just take the sword like this," he put the sword in my hand and tilted away from me slightly. I was surprised that it felt comfortable in my hand. "Right, and then you swing." He moved my hand so that it as swinging back and forth, and I tightened my grip on the sword's hilt. It was amazing that it felt so easy, when I know it would be harder in a battle. "Great, you're a fast learner."

"Well, I have a good teacher." I said and Will blushed a little. Aw, he's so modest.

"Let me go get a sword and then I'll teach you how to fight an opponent." Will said and he walked back over to his work station where his swords were kept. On the way he stopped, as though someone was telling him something, and he walked over to the window and looked out. I heard something run past and then the cat's meow. Oh, it was almost time!

"What a horrible night. It's got a strange chill about it. Maybe we should close shop for the night. What do you think?" Will turned around to ask me.

"Sure, that's fine. I'd feel a lot safer." I said. I was starting to get a little scared. For one thing, I had never thought that I would be in a fight, even in the 1700's. And another was this part of the movie always did scare me a little. Oh well, I would be with Will. Suddenly I remembered the Commodore and Governor Swann. They must be up on the fort by now. Just as Will locked the door, we heard cannon fire. It was time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Taylor's Point of View

In the distance I heard a cannon. I hadn't realized it was that time of the movie yet, must've dozed off. When he heard the cannons, Jack jumped up on the ledge. "I know those guns." he said. He looked out the window and a small smile crept up on his face. "It's the Pearl."

The prisoner from earlier stood closer to the bars dividing are cells. "The Black Pearl? I've 'eard stories. It's been prayin' on ships an' settlemens' for near 10 years. Never leaves any survivors." he said.

I couldn't resist it, I stole Jack's line. "No survivors?" Jack and I said at the same time. Jack stopped and gave me a confused look, but I went on. "Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?" I asked the prisoner. He gave a thoughtful look which I almost missed before I was thrown to the ground.

Coughing and trying to shield my eyes from the dust, I looked up at Jack who was now laying on top of me. I blushed and pushed him off, before getting up and looking at the whole in the wall that the cannon ball made. "My sympathies friends, you've no manner of luck at all." The prisoner said as he and the other ran out of the hole and down to the city below. Jack walked up to the hole and stuck his head in it, giving the most pitiful look I had ever seen.

"It's o.k. Jack." I said putting my arm on his shoulder. "We'll get out somehow." Jack turned around to look at me before he walked around me and kneeled on the floor. He picked up the bone and held it through the cell bars.

"That's not going to work." I told him, but he ignored me and started to wave the bone around in circles.

"Come 'ere doggy. It's just you and me now." I cleared my throat and Jack rephrased. "It's just you, me and the lass now. Come 'ere doggy. Come 'ere you slimy, filthy, mangy cur." Jack said. There was a loud banging noise at the top of the stairs and the dog took off running down the stairs. "No, no, come back. I didn' mean it!" Jack cried out desperately.

"That was so animal cruelty Jack." I sighed and sat down as someone went flying down the stairs. Jack looked up and then a frown formed on his face. He stood up as two scary looking people came down the stairs.

"This ain't the armory." The really skinny one stated. The black pirate rolled his eyes and then looked towards the cell.

"Well, well, well. Look wha' we got 'ere Twig. Captain Jack Sparrow." he paused for a moment to spit at Jack. Then he looked back at me and gave me a rotten tooth smile. I gagged and tried not to spill my guts. "An' a pretty lil' girl too." He turned his attention back to Jack. "The last time I saw you, you were all alone. Sinking into the distance. His fortunes aren't improved much."

Jack stood up a little straighter and looked them both in the eyes. "Worry about your own fortunes, gentlemen. The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers."

The pirates both had a look of pure anger and hate on their faces, and the black pirate shoved his hand through the bars to grab Jack's neck. As soon as his hand hit the moonlight, it turned skeletal. And let me tell you, the movie does it no justice. It was the grossest thing I have ever seen. "Tha's interesting." Jack said.

"You know nothing' of hell." the pirate said and they turned around and walked back up the stairs. Jack rubbed his throat and held up the bone he was holding. "That's very interesting." He said again.

"Of course it is. His hand just turned into a skeleton." I said to him. Jack turned to face me with a look of annoyance on his face. "I'm jus' sayin is all."

"Well, do us both a favor and be quiet. I'm trying to get us out of here." Jack said and then say back down and pulled a dagger out from his boot. I watched as he started to carve the bone. He was humming a tune that I recognized, because it was my ring tone for my phone.

"Yo ho. Yo, ho. A pirate's life for me." I said and he grinned at me. I laid my head down and closed my eyes. Soon I fell asleep to Jack softly singing that song.
