Will went to take another swig of rum, but hit his chin instead, spilling rum down his neck. I laughed and grabbed the bottle from him. "Thats enough rum for tonight, dont ye think?" I said placing the bottle next to my plate. "Your gonna drink that arnt you?" He said dropping his hands to the table. I nodded and grinned. "Well, thats not fair." "I hold my liquor far better than yerself, Sir." I said gulping down his rum.
--------------------
I smirked in Wills direction again. Oh, was he hating this, and I love it. We ate dinner laughing and I retold my Cannible story for Jade. For some reason I had never told her about it...... or she just likes watching my act it out. Damn. After dinner we just sat around drinking rum, except Will, and talking. "So what happened between you two?" I asked suddenly relizing the past the two women shared. Maybe it would make a good story.

I looked at Jade and then back at Jack. "Well, we're sisters, actually. And when we were..I don't know how old, Jade left with out me to go sailing. Not much to it." I answered, leaving out the details purposely. "Hey, I said I was sorry for that." "I know." I said and took a long drink. I could hear her sigh and knew she rolled her eyes.
-------------
"You're sisters?" I asked, surprised. "Anna, you never told me you had a sister." "Yeah, well, I didn't like bringing it up." Anna said and Jade looked down. "Guess you two aren't as close as ye thought, eh Will?" Jack said with a smirk and I glared at him, knowing what he meant. He thinks that Anna wont tell me if something happens...but I'll get it out of her...sooner or later. He wont be able to control himself. I just know it.
((can we just pretend we already fixed our mistakes? I mean, honestly...who besides us is gonna read this??))

She didnt like bringing me up....family. I was quiet for a really long time, just thinking about my family. About Anna, Jonathan, Lilian, Mum, Dad, and our Uncle who's not really our Uncle. I couldnt remember any of them except Jonathan, since he was my first mate for some time, until that run in with Clyde and Clark. I dont know where he is now....my stomach did a back flip. I had completely forgotten about all that. I started feeling nausous and dizzy. Was it the rum or my own thoughts...the combination wasn't helping though. "I dont feel so good." I said suddenly. "Im gonna go up deck and get some air." With that I got up and started walking to the stairs.
--------------------------
I was still smirking when Jade suddenly got up from the table, clutching her stomach, and heading for the stairs. "Jade, are ye sure yer alright?" I asked narrowing my eyes. She nodded and left the galley, leaving all three of us staring after her. "Wonder whats goin on with her?" Will said sincerly. Anna stood to follow her but I shook my head. "I'll go, ye stay here with him." I said. "But shes my sis-" "I know..." I looked down then back at Anna. "But she and I know eachother more better."
((i like that idea..no fixing! oh and if your stuck, you can make you stay and you and will asks you why you didnt tell him about your family....just to put it out there. :] ))

I gaped at Jack and watched as he rushed out on deck. I glared after him, still gaping and sat back down. "She's my bloody sister." I mummbled, annoyed. "So, How come you didn't tell me about Jade before?" Will asked and I looked over at him. "I was mad at her. She left without a goodbye. So, I didn't talk about her. Those who had known her, forgot her, so I never had to explain what happend. Therefore, I never did." I explained to him. He looked at the table. "Im sure she didn't-" "I know that now. But I didn't then." I said and got up. -------------------- I sighed as Anna left and hit my head on the table. I couldn't handle so much drama in one day. I sighed and got up, grabbing the bottle of rum Jade had taken from me. I walked out on deck and saw Jade and Jack talking, I walked in the other direction, thinking about Jade and Anna.

When I got outside I leaned against the railing and closed my eyes taking in the cool night air. I heard faint footsteps growing louder, boots, and I knew that walk. "Yes Jack?" I asked opening my eyes. "What troublin' ye, love." He said leaning next to me. "Jonathan" "Who?" "Jack...theres things about my past i never told you about. Some I tried to forget, others I just couldnt bear to think about." "Well, I figured that out, when you told me you and Anna were sisters." He said grinning. I didnt look at him or even flinch. "Sorry" I heard him mummble. ---------------------
We were quiet a few seconds when I heard Anna come on deck, she was heading for the crows nest. I squinted my eyes looking up at her as she climbed. Why does it have to be dark out when a woman on me ship finally wears a dress?, I thought when I was interupted by Will coming on deck and walked to the helm. I looked back at Jade. "So whats wrong?" I figured I had to tell him...later. Or at least the full story for now all I said was, "I dont know where my family is...I dont know them."

I sighed, seeing Jade below me. Jack looked up at me and sucked in a breath before motioning me back down. I groaned, annoyed that I had to get down after just climbing up. I noticed him watching me the entire way down and I rolled my eyes. I hit his arm when I got down and mouthed "what"? He pointed at Jade then walked away. "Jade? What's the matter?" I asked her. ------------ Jack came up to where I was standing at took the rum out of my hand. "How is she?" I asked as he took a long drink. "She's alright. Talkin' to Anna right now. I think it's a family thing." "You know, Anna got really mad at you for saying that about her. How you and Jade know eachother better." I said and he looked down.

I was still at the railing staring out at the rippling waves. I had tried to forget my family and for good reason too. I hated my past and everything about it, but now that Anna was here I would have to confront it... I couldnt bear it. And I never planned on going back, or meeting my family. And Jonathan, he was my twin, and the closest thing i ever had, besides Jack. I had to find him somehow. Anna suddenly stepped up next to me, and I sighed. She was my sister and I love her and Im glad we met, its just that she represents everything I try so hard to stay away from. "Yes?" I said looking at her out of the corner of my eye. "Whats- wrong?" I was so in my own thoughts and trailing out into no where that the next word that came out of my mouth was not meant the way it sounded, and it sounded horrible. "...you..." I whispered still staring blankly at the moon.
----------------
"But it is true." I said crossing my arms, with difficultly, considering the rum bottle was so large. "Yeah, I know, but you didnt have to say that. You made her feel-" "How do you know how she feels. She didnt even tell you about Jade." I said feeling very pleased with myself. He simply shook his head...thats not right. He was supposed to say something, bastard.

I nodded, knowing what she meant. "Jade, I'm not mad at you for leaving. I understand why you did. I just wish I could have gone too. Too bad for me I was too young." I explained. She nodded. "I could leave if you want. The ship I mean." Her head shot up and she looked at me. "Im away from mum, I just need to find Dad." ------------------ "Just because she didn't tell me everything about her past doesn't mean I don't know her anymore." I said, not looking at Jack. "Aye, you just don' know her as well." He said with a smirk. He was trying to get a rise out of me. It wasn't working. I merely shrugged.

"Ye dont like mum?" I asked. She shrugged her shoulders. "I love her, just enough is enough, ye know? I need to find dad." "And I need to find Jonathan. Maybe we can help eachother ya know?" I said my mind suddenly running with ideas. -------------------- Obviously my plans weren't workng on getting a rise out of him; make him crack. So i just sighed and looked down at Jade and Anna. "You dont know everything about Jades past." He said suddenly. My smug expression suddenly dropped. "I have a course to plot..." I said gripping the rum bottle so tight my knuckles started to turn white. "JADE!!!"

I jumped at the sound of Jack's voice but turned back to Jade. "Maybe we can." I said with a smile. "Do you have any idea how to find our father? Any slight idea of where he may be?" I asked and she shook her head. "I've only seen him once since I left. An' tha' was...four..five years ago." She answered and I sighed. "We'll figure something out." I said. "Figure somethin' out fer what?" Jack asked, now standing next to us. I rolled my eyes and walked off to Will. ---------------- "Im sorry about not telling you." Anna said when she came up. I shrugged. "Tis alrigh'. I understand." I said, sounding a little drunk. "I can tell its still bothering you Will." She said, sternly. "Is it that obvious?" She smiled and nodded. "Ah,well...I'll erm...get over it eventually." I said.

I couldnt supress a smile at Anna and Will. He looked so drunk, but then i turned to Jack. "And what did you want?" I said sounding half annoyed. He draped an arm around my shoulder and we walked across the deck. "Do ye remember me tellin ya bout that curse i had." I stopped leaning on one hip, "Accually ye never told me bout it." "Oh." He said sounding surprised. "Well maybe i should." "Ye think?" We continued walking.
------------------------
"So i had a run in with a few old friends..." I explained. "Like who?" I was a bit unsure, with all these aquantences running around. "A certain pirate...very brave...dangerous...and a bit scary." I tried to lower my voice as so Anna and Will coundn't hear. "Who." "A man who calls himself... Captain Henry James Black of the Bloody Knave." Jade stopped again. I rolled my eyes slightly,,, now what. "Jack...can we continue this conversation in the morning?" She asked half dazed. I nodded and decided I'd go to me cabin for the night.

I laughed at Will as he tried to walk. "You sure you're ok?" I asked. "Yeah, I'll be fine. I'll see you in the morning." Will said and gave me a one armed hug before sauntering off. "Night!" He yelled over his shoulder. "Night Will." I said, chuckling a bit at his behavior. In all the time that I'd known Will Turner, I'd never seen him like that. Quite amusing I'd say. I noticed Jack standing alone as Jade walked down the steps with Will. I walked over to him. "Is everything alright?" I asked, noticing the worried look on his face. --------------- "You're drunk." Jade said, coming up behind me. "No I'm not. I don't get drunk." She raised an eyebrow. "Ok, maybe just a little." "A little? Will, you can hardly walk straight. Honestly, ye look worse than Jack." She said smirking. "I take that offensively."

I figured I'd tell Anna tomorrow what I found out, after Jack finished telling the rest of his story and plans. My brain just couldnt take more than the name right now. So I thought I'd help Will down to the crews quarters so he could lie down. "How do ye take that offensively?" I said smiling. "It's only the truth." He tried to glare at me but fell into an empty hammock instead. "You really cant hold yer rum." "I dont drink much alright?" He said defencivly. I rolled my eyes and sat on a barrel.
-------------------------
"'Corse it is." I lied. I knew she didnt believe me but at least she didnt keep asking questions. Instead she said. "So where are we goin?" "To find someone." "Wh-" "Ye'll find out when we get there." I said, if Jade found out I told Anna before he, she'd cut off me left testical. Plus i didnt want to get into it now. "So...rum?"

I sighed, wanting to know more but nodded. "Sure. I could use a drink." I said and walked into his cabin, sitting in the chair i was in before. "Here ye go." Jack said, handing me a bottle. I nodded my thanks and took it, not saying anything or looking at him. -------------- "So...do you have any idea where we're going?" I asked Jade and she shrugged. "Not really. Jack didnt tell me much yet. Just that we've gotta find someone." "Who?" "Just someone." She said. Even drunk I could tell she didn't wanna talk about it. "Knowing Jack...we'll probably start in Tortuga." I said, trying to sit up but failing misserablely in that damned hammock.

I thought for a moment , we probably would start in tortuga... i could use a nice glass of rum from the pub. Differant taste for some reason, maybe theres not sea water in it. I thought for a while...about meeting dad. After all these years, what would he say, what would he think of me? Would he think me a coward? Or ambisous and indipendant...or- scared. Maybe he'll know where Jonathan is? Maybe ill find him in Tortuga? By the time I finished my thought process I looked over to see Will passed out, sprawled on the hammock. I sighed and decided to go to my room for the night.
-------------------
I watched Anna drink the rum as I drank my own. She was avoiding my eye, i noticed. "Why wont ye look at me?" I asked not able to take the silence any longer. She looked up in my direction, "oh, i just have a lot on me mind." "Is it yer family?" "mostly." She said quietly. "How can ye tell?" "I notice these things..." I said taking a swig and sitting on my desk. She looked really upset...and i knew accactly what what would help. "Drink." i said simply tipping the rum bottle into her mouth.
