I was leaning against the railing of the black pearl, when Jack suddenly apeared next to me. "Jade me dearest. " He hesitated. "Hm?" "We have to make a stop in a certain somewhere..." I shrugged. "Port" He coughed "...Royal" I was quiet, in shock by the words that had come out of my captains mouth. Anger began bubbling inside of me, seering. "What?! Jack!" I bellowed. He flinched at my rage obviously thinking i was about to hit him. I pointed, my finger shaking. "I!- I'm going to the crows nest" I said stalking away suddenly. ------------ I sighed full of relief, that Jade hadn't hurt me in quite enourmous amounts. I turned back to helm, when something hit hard against my head. My last glimpse was a rum bottle being chucked in my direction from the crows nest.

I took a deep breath and tried to relive my lungs and stomach from the bones in my corset crushing them. I was stuck at an extremely pointless party surrounded by a group of people I didn't know. I sighed, looking around the large ballroom and looked for people I might know. I saw Will Turner, my dearest friend, standing with Elizabeth Swann. I excused myself from my mother and walked over. Just as I was about to say something to him, I heard a cannon fire and women's screams. We both turned and looked as the smoke cleared and about ten to twenty pirates emerged from the newly made hole in the wall. My eyes went wide and Will stood in front of me, pulling out his sword. He was about to cut into an unsuspecting man when the man turned around. "Jack?!" Will shouted.
------
I lowered my sword and Jack smirked. "There ye are mate! Let's go!" He said. "Go? Go where?" I questioned and turned to Anna, motioning for her to follow. She did and I noticed Elizabeth giving me questioning looks from her spot across the room. I ignored her and kept walking, I was done with her.

I grinned down at the shop owner i had just knocked out with the hilt of my sword. I grabbed up some necklaces and jewels from the counters and stuffed them in my coats as I strode out the door way. I stared around the street, it looked so familiar, so like home. But it's not, it never was, it never will be. I started down the street, when I saw Jack out of the corner of my eye, followed by a woman, and an extremely good looking man, though, I'd never admit such a thing. I ran up to jack, "What is this?" I huffed, "Who- who are they?" ----------------- I smirked at Jade, who i noticed was giving young William interesting looks. "Oh just some old friends." I said aside myself. "Now, get back ter the ship, and round up the crew. " I told her. She nodded and jogged away, glancing back at us oddly.

"Will? Why am I coming?" I questioned, walking quickly after him, which I found difficult thanks to the long skirts. "Because, I'm not leaving you here. And-" "Because I said so." The pirate with the long dreadlocks and red bandana interupted. "Well...why do YOU want me to come?" I yelled over the noise. There were the sounds of cannons and guns and swords clashing everywhere. And a lot of women and children screaming. "Because." Was all he said. I groaned and followed anyways. --------------- "Jack, why do you want her coming?" I asked him quietly. "Because, young Turner, she can probably help with certain things. Like getting past those gaurds up there." He turned, stopping, and grinned at me. "Distraction, mate."

After rounding up the crew we started heading back for the ship. I was greatly distracted by my surroundings: it was odd that i remembered the place so well, after all these long years. I started shouting orders at the crew:Gibbs was no where in sight. I looked over my shoulder back at the seaside, pearing in the distance for Jacks figure.
------
"You see, Mr. Turner, how my plans work just extrodinary." I said heading for a long boat. We had just pasted a many heavily armed guards, which, as i said, had fallen into my distraction of the very attractive woman, that now sat beside me in a long boat. She looked at me sideways shuffling. I gave her a toothy grin, and began rowing towards the ship. Through the fog, i could see Jade's form, holding onto the ropes searching for us.

I looked up at the ship we were going towards and took a deep breath. I was nervous about joining a whole crew of men and...one woman. The woman, I could see as we got closer, was standing at the starboard side of the ship and watching for us. She looked rather familuar.
----------------
I helped Anna out of the long boat and then helped the crew get it on board as Jack pulled Anna out of the way. The woman we ran into earlier was walking up to them. I saw her glance in my direction briefly before speaking.

"Jack! Please tell me what the hell is going on!" I said gesuring to the man and the woman. "Jade...do not be so rude to our guest-s" Jack said. I was utterly confused. "Guests? Jack what-" "Jade, what am I to this ship?" "Captain." I muttered. He always pulled this, whenever i had crossed the line. "And as 'Captain' what dont i have to do?" "Tell me whats going on. But-" "Right." He interupted. "Now get ter the helm." I grinded my teeth together and headed for the helm. "Oh, and Jade, once we're out of the harbor, I would like ye to show this young lady to her quarters." He said gesturing to the woman next to him. I didnt look back again. -------- I smiled to myself. "I love being captain." I whispered. Will suddenly stepped up next to me. "Who was that?" He said rather oddly. "Jade." I said simply and started for my cabin. Will followed, along with his lass. As soon as we got into the room he burst. "Jack, what is this all about!"

I walked as Will tried to figure things out from the man, who I've learned to be Jack as everyone yelled at him. I sighed and sat in one of the chairs in front of his desk. "William, have I ever been wrong about somethin?" Will crossed his arms and gave him a look that made me chuckle. Jack glanced in my direction and I shut up. "Sorry." I mummbled and Jack looked back at Will. "Somethin...important?" "Yes." Will and the woman, who just walked in, stated. Jack rolled his eyes. "Just trust me." He said and walked over to his desk, sitting down. I noticed him looking at me and raised my eyebrows at him. --------- I stood back as the woman, Jade walked past me to Jack. "We're out of the harbor, SIR." She said, emphasizing Sir. "Good." Jack said and motioned to Anna. "Show this lovely lass to her room please." "Jack, there isnt an extra-" "She's sharing with you."

I could feel my jaw drop slightly. "What?!" I said in a rather sqeaky voice. I cleared my throat."Jack, there is no way-" He simply gave me a look that said, "She is or ill send ye to the brig." I rolled my eyes and stormed out of the room, "Lets go!" I shouted for the girl. I could hear her running to catch up with me. I turned to my quarters, and swung the door open. She stopped short, staring, gaping at my room. There were clothes, maps, quills, and trinkets all over the place. It was comfortable to me, and there was no way i would be changing for some tiny, corset wearing, pretty, proper, little---I smiled to myself. "Is there a problem?" I said in a mocking proper voice. ------- After the girls left I simply stared at will and he stared at me for a while. "Now Jack, would you tell me what this is all about?" I got up, rum in hand, and stode towards him. "William, I need yer help." "You need my help." He said in a disbelieving voice. "What did you get another curse put on you Jack?" I stopped short. "Ye know, it sounds to me like yer enjoying this." He raised his hands, "Oh no, of course not" I frowned, "Like I said, I need yer help...with something." He smiled. "It is a curse, isnt it."

I just chuckled. "No, of course not. I just thought it was funny that you keep your room as dirty as a man. What was your name again?" I asked, sitting down on the bed and looked around. "Jade." She answered after a bit. I looked up at her, studying her face. "Jade? Jade....Black?" I questioned, standing. -------------- "It might be." Jack said, walking around his cabin, looking for something. "What'd you do now Jack?" I asked, slightly annoyed. "Oh, nothing. Just...went somewhere without knowing more about it." He said, pulling out a bottle of rum. I rolled my eyes. "And how exactly am I supposed to help?" I questioned, watching him uncork the bottle and take a swig.

I froze. How the bloody hell did she know my last name? My- real- last name. "Accually it's Captain Brooks" I said looking very confused. I forced a smile. She raised an eyebrow. "Captain." She glanced around my small cabin:which wasnt the captin's quarters and turned back to me. "Is that yer real last name? Cause you look awfully familiar." "Alright...Its Black, but dont tell no one that. I'm known as Brooks now." Her eyes widened."You don't remember me, do you?" My lips pursed as if i had just sucked on a rather sour lemon, as i thought hard. I lifted a finger gasping. "ah!-no....well!-no....i have absoulutly no idea who you are....why, whats yer name?" She took a step forward. "Its me! Its Anna" My eyes widened, as i stared disbelievingly at the girl standing before me. Memories soared through my head. I blinked a few times. "Jack?!" I whispered in a hoarse voice. This was his fault....or was it good? These memories of my past, i remembered everything i had tried so hard to forget. About my 'other' life. Anna, my younger sister in Port Royal, everything about my past, stood feet away, and I didnt know how to take it. -------- "Well, ye see, theres this cave where one must go to lift said curse, but I need yer help to get to it, and to lift the accual lifting...savvy?" Will looked at me expressionless. "Whats the curse?" "Its this thing, thats pretty bad. That is unreversable ,awful, painful. An ye'd miss me a whole lot...." His eye twitched slightly. "Bugger!!! It's the usualal im gonna die in a certain amount of time...thing!"

My eyes teared up and I walked forward. "Where the HELL DID YOU GO!?!" I yelled at my older sister and I hit her arm. "And why the hell'd you leave without me damnit!?!" I yelled again. Her eyes went wide. "I...I got meself a ship. And...I didn't know you wanted to go." She said, staring at me as if wondering if I was really there. "Oh! Stop looking at me like that! I'm here damnit!" I yelled and hugged her. -------------- "Jack? Why do I have to get dragged into all of your stupid problems?" I asked. Jack chcukled. "William? WHo else would I bring to help?" Jack said drinking more rum. I sighed. "What do we have to do?"

I hugged her back, my eyes transfixed on where she'd just stood. "Im...sorry." I said. She let go, wiping a tear from her eye. "Jade...where did you go?" "I couldn't take it anymore, Anna! All the dresses and the corsets, and being proper all the time! It was maddness! It wasnt me... and- I didnt know if you let me go. I couldnt risk you saying anything. The night that i snuck out, I left you a note by your window... you didnt get it?" -------- "Well, first we have to find out whats on that bloody island, how to lift the curse-i know theres somethin bout a pool of magic water, or somethin like that...oh, and where the island is." Will rolled his eyes. "Couldnt ye have figured all this out, before getting me and Anna!" "Anna. Is that her name? You two, um, together." I said crossing my middle and index fingers together. I leaned in. "What happend wit' Elizabeth, mate? Get too clingy for ye? I knew there was pirate in ye." I said slapping him on the back.

"No. I never got any message from you. Mum just told me you ran away. You should have told me. I would have gone with you." I said and shook my head. "Thats not important now though. Im out now. So, how has life treated you?" I asked, curios about her ship. --------------- I sighed and rolled my eyes. "No, we and Anna aren't together. And no, me and Elizabeth aren't together anymore. She...It just didn't work." I stared at him as his face appeared realived. "Why? Are you interested in Anna?" I asked, trying to get off the topic of Elizabeth.

I sighed, discust coming over my face. "I uh, my ship....hmm." I mummbled. Anna stared at me looking very confused and curious. "Well, i had a ship...and a crew...she was called The Seductress...magnificant vessle she is! Could outrun anythin, cept the black pearl." I said gesuring around. "She's strong, true, beautiful...and lost." I added my expression dropping. ------- "What! Why would I be interested in 'er?" "You sound it, Jack." I looked away and then back at Will, dropping into my chair, and lifting a map over my face. "Well, maybe a little." I mummbled mostly to myself from behind the map. I peeked around the edge of it and saw Will smirking at me. "Oh shut it!" I snapped. "How bout you lover boy?"
