Hello everyone! Here is chapter 8. Please let me know your opinions. I think this chapter improves as it goes on.

10 foot under water:

Captain Jack Sparrow and William Turner held the upturned boat above their heads, with Tallulah Swann in between them.

"This is either madness or brilliance." Will commented as he struggled with holding the boat down.

"It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." Jack quipped.

Chuckling, Tallulah joined in, "Well, think yourselves lucky you're not wearing a dress. Thank God there isn't anyone else down here to see me."

"I can see you just fine, love." Jack joked, earning a whack on the back of his head.

"Jack!" Lula scolded.

"Alright, Lulu. Don't get yourself all worked up." He mocked with a cheeky grin plastering his face.

"Stop! Wait, I lost my slipper." Tallulah called.

"Women." Jack quietly commented, but loud enough for them to hear.

"Shut up Jack! … Will, can you see it?"

"Nope." He replied without even looking, he was getting agitated, being so far under water.

"Fine. I don't even care." She said as she kicked off the other shoe, "Lets go!"

They began to move once more when Jack heard a considerable amount of spluttering behind him. Seeing as Tallulah was shorter than the two men holding the boat, after taking her shoes off, she wasn't tall enough to keep her head above the water.

Jack reached his arm behind him and grabbed Tallulah, not trusting the whelp to do anything helpful. He pulled her up so she could take in some air.

"Ah … thank you, Jack." Tallulah said as she gripped onto Jack's arm.

"Hold on to my back, love, so we can carry on." Jack ordered her firmly. She released his arm and reached for his shoulders instead. Lula pulled herself right up against Jack's back, gripping his shoulders tightly. They carried on, but not as fast as before.

"Sorry. I'm slowing us down." She apologised.

"Don't worry about it, Lulu. I'm actually quite enjoying you pressed up against me, needing me." Jack whispered seductively, a happy grin on his face. Tallulah flushed slightly and rested her head on Jack's shoulder.

"Jack …" Tallulah began.

Will cleared his throat rather loudly, "I'm still here, you know."

"Shhhhh, quiet you." Tallulah told him. Jack chuckled and stopped walking as they had arrived near the ship.

"Okay, on the count of three, Will, let go of the boat and swim out from under it. Make sure you take in a breath before." Jack ordered.

"Obviously, Jack." Tallulah sighed.

"One … two…three." Jack counted. The three figures swam to the surface, just behind the rudder of the Dauntless.

"What now?" Will asked Jack.

"We climb up and take over the ship." He explained casually as if it was an everyday thing.

"Ok, how do we do that?" Lula asked, studying Jack's damp face, noticing where his black kohl had slightly run.

.

After a lot of difficulty climbing up the back of the ship, Tallulah needing quite a bit of help from the two men, they were crouched down low, whispering the plan.

"Alright, William and I will get control and make them bugger off, whilst you stay out of sight. We don't want them to blame us for your kidnapping now, do we?" Jack decided.

"You two, be careful, okay?" Lula asked, a worried expression adorning her pretty face.

"Love, its gonna be a breeze." Jack smiled.

Jack and Will left Tallulah and scurried towards the men at work.

"Everyone stay calm! We are taking over the ship." Jack announced to the shocked sailors.

"Aye! Avast!" Will shouted, earning a chuckle from the men and a glare from Jack. Always the drama queen, Tallulah thought.

"This ship cannot be crewed by two men. You'll never make it out of the bay." Gillette said, with a smirk on his face.

Jack pointed his pistol at the man's nose and explained with an evil smile, "Son, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?

.

After successfully taking over the ship, Jack and Will prepared for when Norrington arrived.

"Lulu? Stay with me, okay? And remember to keep out of sight." Jack ordered.

"Alright Jack, whatever you say." She replied with a mocking smile.

"Here they come." Will announced gesturing to the Interceptor moving impressively towards them.

Jack simply smiled a wide grin. He was going to enjoy this. He took Tallulah's hand and dragged her to hide.

.

Jack, Tallulah and Will swung onto the Interceptor undetected. Will cut the ropes holding the two vessels together as Jack took control of the wheel. Tallulah ducked below the railing, shielding herself from view.

She heard James yell to his men, "Sailors, back to the Interceptor! Now!" then a splash as one fell into the water. She knew they had gotten away.

"Thank you, Commodore, for helping us get ready to make way. We would have had a hard time of it, by ourselves" Jack called back, waving his hat.

Tallulah heard the distinct sound of gunfire as she saw Will and Jack duck. The Captain grinned at her devilishly, "I rather enjoyed that!"

"Won't they just come after us?" Tallulah asked, only just thinking about it.

"Nah, they couldn't catch us, but as a precaution, I disabled the rudder chains, they're not going anywhere." Jack smiled.

.

An hour or so later found Jack, still at the wheel, Tallulah, close by watching the Captain intently and Will, explaining his life story; neither Jack or Lula seemed at all interested.

"When I was a lad living in England, my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came out here, looking for my father." Will told Jack as he sharpened his sword.

"Is that so?" Jack said uninterested, as he adjusted one of the sails.

"My father, Will Turner." He continued, following Jack up the stairs, "At the jail, it was only after you learned my name that you agreed to help. Since that's what I wanted, I didn't press the matter. I'm not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father." He finished.

Tallulah sat up and listened closely now. Jack tied of a rope and sighed. He then stood to face Will.

"I knew him … probably one of the few who knew him as William Turner. Everyone else just called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill." Jack said and walked off.

"Bootstrap?"

"Good man. Good pirate. I swear you look just like him." Jack told him as he returned to the wheel.

"It's not true. He was a merchant sailor. A good, respectable man who obeyed the law." Will said heatedly.

Rolling his eyes Jack turned to William, "He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag."

"My father was not a pirate." Will said sharply as he quickly drew out his sword.

Showing no reaction to the sound of Will's sword unsheathing Jack said calmly "Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again."

"You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you."

"Then that's not much incentive for me to fight fair, then is it?" Jack said as he glanced at a furious Will.

Jack, with no warning, turned the boat away from the wind, causing the boom to swing across and hit Will. The young man grabbed onto the large wood cylinder, dropping his sword, as he was swung out over open water. Tallulah stifled giggles as she saw Will struggle; she always did love to watch him squirm.

The Captain picked up Will's sword from the floor and waved it about carelessly as he explained, "Now, as long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really mater, are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance, you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't, but pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that someday. Now, me, for example, I can let you drown … but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesy, savvy? So, …" Jack, now at the wheel, turned the ship back, causing the boom to swing back over the boat.

"… can you sail under the command of a pirate? … Or can you not?" flipping the sword in his hand, presenting it to Will.

"Tortuga?" Will asked, calm once more.

"Tortuga." Jack confirmed with a satisfied smile.

"Tortuga?" Tallulah whined. She had heard some rather gruesome stories about the women there.

"Aye" Jack said.

After a minute of silence as Tallulah stared at Will thoughtfully, he asked "What, Lula? You're staring."

"Sorry Will, … It's just, I'm seeing you in a whole new light, now I know you have a pirate father." She mocked him.

"Shut up, Lula"

"No, seriously Will. A new sexy light." She giggled, enjoying the embarrassed look on her friend's face. Jack joined in the laughter once he saw the whelp's expression.

"Stop it!" he said firmly, trying to cover his blush.

"Fine. But William, this may be to your advantage."

"What are you talking about?"

"Elizabeth. It might give you a head start, whilst you are trying to win her heart." She said, once again giggling.

"What?" Will questioned now getting annoyed at his blonde friend.

"William" Jack began, "Haven't you heard? The Swann sisters happen to always have had an interest and fascination with pirates." Jack said, teasing Lula.

"Huh?" Will said, really confused now.

"Forget it Will." Lula giggled.

.

Leaving Will to try and figure out the conversation the three had just had, Jack turned to Tallulah, "Now, love, you can't go walking round Tortuga in your nightdress. It's not the nicest of places, especially for a beauty like you. Especially when your dress is see-through." He smirked, staring down obviously, at the outline of Tallulah's body, clearly visible through the sheer fabric of her nightdress. She had taken off her robe earlier, and with the sun shining bright on the dress, it didn't leave much to the imagination.

"Jack!" she shrieked, blushing. The Captain did not fail to notice, however, that Lula did not try and cover herself up.

Jack chuckled as he watched her cheeks burn with embarrassment. "Go to the cabins and see if you can find anything decent to wear. Make sure it fits, otherwise it'll become a nuisance."

"Fine." she stormed off, angry at the fact that Jack had practically seen her naked. She looked down at her dress, she realised Jack had been right; the fabric really was quite see-through. A small part of her smiled as she realised Jack enjoyed seeing her almost naked. Just like she wanted to see Jack without the layers of clothes in the way, he wanted to see her.

Tallulah spent ten minutes rummaging through the cabins, trying to find something to wear that wasn't a red uniform. She spent most of the ten minutes trying to imagine what Jack's lips would feel like on hers, and what his hands would feel like, roaming her naked body. "Jack …" she whispered to nobody as she sat on the floor next to a trunk, she let her head fall back against the wall, her eyes slid shut as she thought of him.

Captain Jack Sparrow … Captain Jack … Jack … ah. He is so … there really aren't words. I feel enraptured every time he looks at me with those impossible brown eyes, euphoric at his touch … I always feel hot and on edge around him but at the same time completely at ease. I don't understand why. I've never felt like this in my whole life. I feel exhilarated, tense, intoxicated, agitated, aroused, unnerved, blissful, sensitive and turned-on all at the same time. … He makes me think things, imagine things, things I want to do to him, things I want him to do to me. GOD! Jack …

"Lulu?" Jack called as he saw her sat on the floor with her head back and her eyes closed, breathing deeply.

"Jesus Christ!" she shrieked, when she realised Jack was only a few feet from her.

"Lulu?"

"Sorry, I didn't hear you come in," she said as she stood up and walked over to him.

"Yeah, I can tell," Jack chuckled. He reached out and pulled her to him in a gentle hug, catching her off guard. "I'm so sorry about Elizabeth, Lulu. I promise to find her. All day I've wanted to do this but couldn't, the boy being here all the time. Are you ok?" he whispered tenderly into her ear.

She relaxed into his hard body as his gentle words calmed her racing mind. "I'm fine, Jack … I've wanted this too." Meaning the hug.

"What were you thinking, just now, before I interrupted?" he asked as he pulled out of the embrace far enough so he could lose himself in her eyes.

"Oh … um… nothing. Just about the last two days, you know?" she flustered, pulling completely out of Jack's arms.

"Uh-huh, okay. Did you find anything to wear?" he asked looking down at her sheer nightgown with a smirk.

"No I didn't, but I haven't looked in that trunk yet." She said, once again flustered as she saw his eyes drink in her form under the fabric.

"Jack!" she moaned as she shoved his head softly to stop him from staring at her.

"Sorry, sorry. Come on, I'll help you find something." He said as he led her to the large trunk.

They both knelt in front of the rather pretty carved wooden trunk. Jack unlatched the lid and lifted it.

"Wow!" Lula exclaimed, completely taken aback with shock. Inside were heaps of clothes, shirts, trousers, and boots, all special in their own way.

"Looks like we hit the Jackpot." Jack chuckled, as he began to rummage through the items to pick an outfit for Lulu.

First he picked out a pair of trousers. They were expertly made from dark, mahogany, soft leather. Down the sides of each leg were laces making them ideal because they could be tightened to fit Lula perfectly, another two-inch lace was situated on the back, to do them up. Next he picked out a navy blue, thin cotton tunic. It was sleeveless and scoop necked, with a four-inch beaded collar that sat on the shoulders, making the otherwise plain tunic, unique. The tunic was long, it would probably end halfway down Tallulah's bottom, and it had tiny buttons running all the way down the back. Next Jack pulled out a pair of black leather boots, classic pirate boots with turned down tops, except on the edge of the turn down stood a row of shiny gold studs. All in all, the outfit was stunning, Jack had picked something Lula loved. Secretly he had picked the clothes because he had wanted to see what she would look like in something piratey. Jack turned his back to Lula so she could undress.

After a few minutes of exasperated noises and gasps from Tallulah, Jack asked, "Lulu, love, are you alright?"

"No" she replied.

"What is it?"

"I can't tell you." She whined.

"Sure you can, love." He pressed.

"I really can't."

"Why not."

"Because you'll laugh at me." She said shamefully.

Jack smirked "I won't laugh, I promise." Of course he would laugh, "What is it?"

"Well … um, my whole life I've had a maid, um, … and she would dress me. I don't have a maid here and … I can't undo my dress." She confessed.

Jack covered his mouth trying not to break his promise as he turned to look at an upset Tallulah. "You promised you wouldn't laugh." She accused crossing her arms over her chest, making her look like a spoilt little girl. This only made Jack want to laugh harder.

After composing himself, he asked, "Do you want me to help, Lulu?" a smirk very present on his beautiful face.

"Yes please." She said quietly, turning as Jack approached her and began to undo the fastenings running down her back.

He got half way and paused, realising that the buttons ran down over her bottom, clearing his throat he carried on. As he began to undo the dress covering her beautiful cheeks, both Jack's and Lulu's breath deepened, Jack's becoming ragged and Lulu's desperate.

After the buttons were finished Jack stayed unmoving, still holding onto the fabric, staring at the exquisite skin of her back and bottom. His hands shaking slightly, he took as small step closer to the goddess in front of him, he lent forward and placed a tender kiss where her neck met her right shoulder. Tallulah moaned quietly as Jack kissed the side of her neck and placed a strong, callused hand at the base of her neck, brushing her long blonde hair over her shoulder so he had full access to her back.

He ran his hand very slowly down her spine, until he reached the swell of her left cheek; his hand stopped in its path and he stroked circles on her skin with his thumb. His kisses on her neck had become more wanting and fervent and wet, earning many soft moans and noises from Tallulah's lips.

Jack softly pushed the fabric of her nightdress off her right shoulder with his free hand, the fabric pooled at her feet leaving Tallulah completely naked. She had never been nude in front of anyone other than her maid in her life, she felt she should be embarrassed and want to stop, but she didn't. She felt herself with Jack, totally safe.

Jack was completely swept up in the moment, he drifted his left hand up from her bottom and round to her satin stomach, and his right hand slid down and caressed her hip and thigh. Jack slowly kissed and licked her neck with so much feeling and passion. Soft moans of ecstasy escaped from Tallulah as she lent her head back onto Jack's strong left shoulder and Jack moved his kisses to her ear and jaw. "Jack …" Lulu moaned, moving her hand over his, on her stomach.

Jack gently guided Lulu to face him. His warm liquid eyes locked onto her impossibly deep, blue ones. Words passed between them without even opening their mouths. He wrapped his strong arms around Tallulah's slim frame, holding her naked body as close to his clothed one as possible. Slowly and tenderly, Jack brushed his soft dusky lips over Lulu's perfect rose ones, sending shivers of pleasure down her back. They stayed like that for several minutes, slowly, passionately kissing. Jack delicately swept his warm tongue over Lulu's bottom lip, asking entrance into her heavenly mouth. She hesitantly met his tongue with her own, and their kiss heightened in intensity.

Carefully, Jack pulled away from Tallulah's lips and stared into her deep pools of ocean blue.

He rested his forehead on hers as he whispered, "Lulu, we should stop, get you dressed, and check on William."

"Jack?" she quietly asked.

"Yes, love?"

"This is going to happen again, isn't it?" she whispered uncertain.

"Try and stop me." He sweetly replied as he ducked to place a single kiss on her flawless cheek. Lulu smiled beautifully, blowing Jack away with the power and intensity of her eyes.

Jack turned away from Tallulah as he said, "Let's start with the trousers … I'll have to lace you in," he added with a smirk.

Jack grabbed the leather breeches, turned back to Lula and froze. There before him stood the most exquisite thing he had ever seen. Her naked body was even more perfect than he had ever imagined, every line and curve, smooth and flawless. He took in her long legs, her flat stomach and her divine breasts. However, something caught his eye, below her left breast, on her ribs were five lines of text, curved to the line of her breast.

"Jack …" she called, nervous under his gaze.

"Sorry … what's that?" he asked gesturing to the indigo tattoo.

"It's my song," she replied, "You're going to really like this," she giggled.

She reached out a hand and pulled him closer, "Read it.' She ordered and Jack bowed his head, a huge grin spread on his face as he read the tiny lines under her breast.

'Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We pillage, plunder, we rifle and loot.

Drink up me hearties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot.

Drink up me hearties, you ho.

We're rascals and scoundrels, we're villains and knaves. Drink up me hearties, yo ho.

We're devils and black sheep, we're really bad eggs. Drink up me hearties, you ho.'

After Jack finished he lifted his head and stared at Tallulah with a cheeky smile, as she giggled and began to sing the tune to him.

"Like it?" she asked, comfortable with the fact that she was still completely naked.

"That is bloody fantastic," he said as he ducked again and made sure the tattoo was really there. He loved the idea that a pirate song was permanently scrawled on a Governor's daughter.

"It is my favourite song, and Elizabeth's," she explained. "I always wanted a tattoo, and it just seemed perfect."

"It certainly is. Come on let's get you dressed," he passed her the leather trousers and held her arm to steady her as she slid them on her slender, long legs.

Jack first pulled and tied the laces at the base of Tallulah's back, then worked his way down her left leg, then her right. Jack was very pleased he had picked this pair of trousers, they fit her like a glove, now that they were laced tightly to fit her, they also allowed about an inch and a half of flesh to be seen through the laces down her legs.

"Perfect" she commented, looking at herself in the full-length mirror in the corner of the room.

"They certainly are," Jack said as he stared at her butt.

He picked up the blue tunic and held it open in front of her so she could slide her arms through the holes. Jack pulled the fabric around her body and moved behind her, so he could fasten the tiny buttons running down the back.

She once again looked in the mirror, and fingered the pretty beads on the collar.

"Boots" Jack simply called, as he sat down on a wooden chair and gestured to her to come over to him. Once in front of him, he took her left foot in his hand and slid it into the black, soft boot. "How does it feel?" he asked as she wiggled her toes.

"Comfy," she decided.

"Good, give me your other foot,"

As he was sliding her right foot into the boot, he paused. Wrapped around her ankle was a second tattoo. The words 'Here there be monsters' was scrawled just above her ankle bone, with vines intertwined through it, the vines carried on down the side of her foot and stopped just before reaching her little toe.

"Here there be monsters," Jack murmured as he traced the indigo ink.

"For the unknown," Lula whispered as Jack slid the boot gently onto her foot.

The Captain wrapped his arms around Tallulah's waist, pulled her onto his lap, and gently stroked her soft, blonde hair.

"Ah … Jack," she whispered, as she lent forward to press her lips against his.

After their sweet kiss Jack said, "Lulu, we should join William, we'll be there soon," as he stood up, with Tallulah in his arms.

"Jack, put me down!" she giggled as he dropped her onto her booted feet. Lula walked over to the mirror and admired her new clothing, "I like it!" she commented at her reflection.

"Not quite finished," Jack said as he pulled out a beautiful black scarf, with gold embroidery and tiny gold coins handing off it. He wrapped it around her waist and tied it on the right of her body, letting the ties hang to her knees. "Perfect."

"It's so pretty," she commented as she fingered the coins.

"Aye," Jack agreed as he stood behind her and coiled his strong arms around her flat stomach, pulling her to him and nuzzling her neck.

Tallulah skipped back to the trunk and pulled out two small wooden sticks she had spotted earlier, they had carvings of flowers wrapped around them. She roughly pulled her windswept blonde hair into a bun and poked the sticks through, holding the hair in place. Several pieces naturally fell down, framing her face.

Jack grabbed her hand and dragged her back on deck to join Will.

Hope you liked it. I really enjoyed writing it. Please review and leave me your opinions, I love hearing them.

Lots of love, Evangeline xxx
