OK, SO I LIED, it has been nine days since I updated... Sorry, stupid school.

Also, this chapter was sooooo hard to write because it is all improvisation, these events did not happen in the films and so I was just writing from nothing, so excuse it if it is awful.

Please review for this one because I want to know if you think it's awful or not XD

Enjoy!

Scarlett took in a deep breath, and sighed, regaining her former calmness, the day was quickly declining and she had to decide what her options were if Norrington were to talk. She turned to the door and was startled by a figure in the doorway; she was blinded by the sunlight so she could not make out his face. She stepped forward with her hand above her eyes, blocking the sunlight and her vision cleared to reveal Lieutenant Theodore 'Groves' she said, smiling at the man who now entered the room.

'Captain Scarlett' he smiled, his white teeth beaming at her. The two had known each other back in England, Groves had been fascinated by the crew of the Black Pearl and the Wicked Wench ever since Jack took over. He visited her cell in England every night, asking questions of bountiful treasures and mysterious islands, the two became fast friends.

Scarlett's smile faded as she said, 'I'm not a captain anymore, just plain Scarlett now.'

Groves walked forward and took hold of Scarlett's hand, 'To me you'll always be the greatest female captain in all the seven seas' he kissed her hand, he always was the epitome of being a gentleman, 'No matter what you have done or will do' he looked into her eyes, sensing her sadness.

'I think you're the only one who thinks that' said Scarlett, desponded.

'It doesn't matter the number of people who admire you, just as long as there is one loyal friend by your side' they both laughed, both having flashbacks of their conversations in England, without him, she wouldn't have survived the prison. 'Now, to spoil this a bit, I have to take you to the brig'

Scarlett's mouth formed a perfect O, startled by the sudden change of subject; she smirked and said 'Yes, I'm afraid that did spoil it'

Groves took it upon himself to act like a gracious host and Scarlett the guest of honour…in the brig… he said, 'Would you like to shown to your cell or dragged kicking and screaming?'

Scarlett stepped forward and put her hand on her chin, as if she was contemplating his offer, 'Oh, kicking and screaming please'

'Never mind that, too much effort for a filthy pirate' he smirked at Scarlett, who was pretending to be highly offended by his comment, and started to leave the room. The girl followed close behind, regaining her strong composure in front of the crew, Groves had also changed his demeanour to a high professional standard, what is expected of a lieutenant of the King's Navy. They both walked down the damp stairs to the brig, and were greeted by Jack, who looked like a puppy who hadn't seen his owners for weeks. Groves ignored him and opened the cell next to Jack's, holding it open whilst Scarlett walked in and sat down on the bench. Groves bowed his head, smiling and began to walk away.

Just as he turned around Scarlett called for him, he looked back at her and she said barely above a whisper, 'Thank you, Theodore'

'Well. It's like I'm just not here' said Jack, like a child who had been missed out. He crossed his arms playfully and tried to look as upset as possible.

To Jack's annoyance, she just laughed and said 'Shut up Jack'; Jack undid his arms and sighed as he lay back down on the bench, pulling his hat over his eyes.

Jack continued from under his hat, 'Hey, I'm protective of you! Don't want you talking with Navy men, what did Norrington want anyway?'

'He… Just talked about my old crew' stuttered Scarlett, walking around her cell.

'And?' asked Jack

'They're alive, and have all gone their separate ways in the Company'

'The Company?'

'Yes, Beckett must have bargained with them for their freedom they would have to be employees of the company'

'A fate worse than death that is' said Jack, as he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to pass the time by sleeping.

Scarlett stood on the bench at the back of the cell, seeing the sun gleam through a small hole in the side of the ship, the sun was going down already, and time flew when sitting in a cell. She looked out of the hole and saw the waves crashing on the side of the ship, orange in the sunlight, but the stars started to appear as the golden orb sank into the ocean. It was night already. Sitting back on the bench and lying back she closed her eyes listening to the sound of the sea, and the snoring of Jack who had dropped off to sleep straight after the conversation. With her eyes closed, she could see a bright light coming from the right, the cell door. She decided to ignore it when a voice whispered 'Scarlett', her eyes shot open and she looked to the door, it was Groves, just as Scarlett stood up he sshed her and opened the cell door. He ushered her out of the cell and up the stairs, there was no-one on deck, they stepped out into the glowing moonlight and he began to speak to her. 'I know you were scared of Norrington saying anything about England or the Old crew, and I've found he has a copy of the documents which outlines all the bargaining with Beckett' Scarlett flung a hand over her mouth and gasped, there was evidence on this very ship which would reveal her dark secret.

'We have to get it and burn it; no-one can see it.' Exclaimed Scarlett, who was sshed by Groves again

'Scarlett, it is in Norrington's office, you can't get it' replied Groves

'Then what can I do?' asked a desponded Scarlett.

The two spent the night trying to think of a plan to get rid of the documents, but Norrington's security always shattered it. The morning sun rose and the pair were at the end of their tether, they would have to risk it and steal the documents once the ship has reached the Isla de Muerta later on that day. Groves put Scarlett back into her cell and she quickly fell asleep as the beam of light from the hole shone once again. When she awoke she could not see Jack in his cell, she shouted for the nearest sailor and he informed her that both Jack and Norrington were negotiating a battle plan for the island. She thought nothing of it and closed her eyes once more

Meanwhile, negotiations on the ambush at the Isla de Muerta were not going to plan, neither could think of a solution which ended up in victory. Norrington was sat at his desk 'How about, we storm the cave and kill everyone on sight?'

'That won't work' stated Jack, frustrated they could not come up with a plan

'How about we send a decoy boat in, and when they come out attack?' suggested Norrington.

A spark of light seemed to emit from Jack as if an idea had just struck him. He spun around with his golden smile his hands ready to pitch his great idea, he began 'OR, instead of a boat, send me! Think about it, I convince Barbossa to send his men out with their little boats. You and your mates blast the bejesus outta them with your little cannons, eh? What do you have to lose?

'Nothing I'd lament being rid of. I'll tell the crew' said Norrington as he stood up and walked out of the office

'Can I just help meself?' Jack asked, looking at the large glass bottle containing alcohol on the mantle in Norrington's office. Norrington just rolled his eyes at Jack and walked out, shutting the door.

'Nice Office this' he poured a glass of the liquid, 'Could see meself a Commodore. Nice Chair' he walked over to the chair at Norrington's desk and sat down, groaning at the comfort it provided him as he swung his legs up onto the desk.

Scarlett suddenly shot up, and shouted for the guard 'WHERE IS THIS MEETING BEING HELD?'

'I wonder if Norrington has any dirty secrets lurking in this desk, I suppose if the battle goes wrong I can always blackmail him' said Jack, who opened the first drawer just to find ink and other stationary, Jack sighed and moved to the next drawer down

'YOU HAVE TO LET ME OUT, IT'S AN EMERGENCY'

'Love, you don't understand the concept of being a prisoner' replied the sailor as Scarlett pulled and pushed at the bars of her cell

Finding the second drawer full of maps, Jack wanted to give up, but still proceeded to the third drawer.

Scarlett grabbed the sailor by his neck and threatened him 'Let me out or I'll snap you neck!'

The sailor quickly gasped for air as he shakily got the keys off of his belt and opened the door. Scarlett ran out of the brig, heading straight for Norrington's office, as she got there she burst through the door to see Jack sitting at the desk, holding the very document Scarlett wanted to burn.

She stood panting at the door, unable to understand the situation as Jack glared at her and said with a furious tone:

'What. Is. This?'

OO. WHAT IS IT?

FIND OUT IN CHAPTER 13 when this will unravel and they will FINALLY reach the isla de muerta.

Again, please review :)
