I laughed and pulled it away. "Youre gonna make me choke!" I said and drank slowly. "Well, then drink faster, lass. It helps." Jack said and sat on the edge of his desk. I rolled my eyes and chugged down the rest. "Happy?" "Surprised." "Why?" "Didnt know ye could drink." He said and I grinned. "Well, you just dont know me at all then." ------------- *snores*

I made my way down to my cabin, took off my effects, and placed them on the table next to my bed. I stuck my pistol under my pillow and layed back staring at a flickering candle. I must have done that for a while, cause the next thing in knew the wax was oozing onto the table. I sighed and changed my direction to the ceiling... what if i took Annas dress and snuck into Port royal, into a party, just to get a look at mum. OH thats rediculous...why would i do that!? But the more I tried to tell myself it was a pointless thought. The more I wanted to just do it. I would never stay longer than 10 minutes. I couldnt handle more than 10 minutes in a place like that, but just a looksee...maybee.....And i could feel myself drifting off to sleep.
-----------------------------
"Well maybe we should work on that." I said grinning. "Well what do you want to know." Anna said drinking the last few drops of hers then taking mine. I stared at her hand a moment, then shrugged. "What are ye plannin on doin after we make port?" I asked curiously. I had accually been wondering that for a while. I wouldnt stop her from leavin, but for some reason didnt want her to. She could come to use. Maybe cook , clean, scrub. Earn her share....something.

I shrugged. "Well, if I have a place here, I'll stay. I mean, I don't have any where else to be so...why not?" I said and I noticed his face lit up. "Ye can stay. No one's makin' ye leave." He said and grabbed himself another rum bottle. "I'd like that." I said, smiling. "Anything else?" --------------- *snores and falls out of hammock*

.....I was walking through the hall. I couldnt breath...oh, its this damn corset...way too tight. The marble was sleek and shiny, smooth and clean. I finally got to a door at the end of the perfect marble hall and turned into it. A man in a clean cut suit opened the doors and I entered. The room was filled with women and men all dressed in their best. The room itself was another marble room with stone and flowers and sculptures, white pillars, and mirrors. I walked past one, glancing at myself in the mirror. My hair was up in loose curls. My body dressed in a pail blue dress, frilly and fluffy. I wore high heels of dark blue, and fan covered in velvet finish. I kept walking through the room, hardly able to breath, all eyes on me suddenly. Everyone stared, bowed, began clapping. I nodded and smiled gratefully. Why? I thought, but kept smiling nonetheless.....
-----------------------------
I thought a minute.... "Who else in me crew are ye related to?" "None." She said with a chuckle. "No? Not mr. cotten, gibbs, or maybe marty?" She shook her head smiling. "Nope, just Jade." I shrugged. "Oh, alright. What about yer passed?" I blurted out. "The whole story." Her smile faded slightly.

I sighed and looked at my bottle of rum. "Well, my father...he's...a pirate. Captain of a ship." I held my hand up to stop him from interupting. "Let me finish...My mum, she's...of a higher class and I grew up in her household. I have two sisters, Jade and Lillian, who lives with our father. And I have one brother, J..Jonathan...I think. That's pretty much it." I said and waited for a reaction. --------------------- I sat up and looked around. I was on the floor. "Huh." I climbed back into my hammock and passed out again.

...the people were suddnly blinded by an orange light flickering feet away from me. It came closer and into view....I opened my eyes and relized I was staring at that candle again. I groaned and closed my eyes. The ship was rocking soothingly and I slowly fell back to sleep.
I stared at Anna, dumbfounded. "Thats...it?" She nodded. "So...who's yer father??" Maybe I knew him. OH bugger...what if I got into somethin with him?? NO way....coudnt be...she does kinda look like- no...

I woke up, to the sun blaring wildly into my room. I took a breath and rolled over stuffing my face backinto my pillow and swinging my arm over the bed. "OW!" "Sorry!" I said jumping. I stared at melina. "I forgot you were here. Not used to having someone in the bed. "No problem..." She said veigly and closed her eyes again. I got up, got dressed, and headed on deck to start another day of yelling orders for Jack. He was up at the helm, staring at the mast.
------------------------
Her father...I thought. I cant believe im having these dealings with her father. She'll kill me. I had stayed up for half the night thinking about it, and was pretty tired. "JACK!" I jumped looking around. Jade was a foot away from my face. "Jack...I said yer name five times." She said taking the wheel from me. "Yer about to sail us into a rock" She turned the wheel and I looked to see a huge rock breaking the surface of the water. "Oops." I mummbled pulling my chin braids.

I walked out on deck in just enough time to see the quarrel between Jade and Jack. I walked up to the helm where they were standing. "Jack? Is everything alright?" I asked, making him look at me. He had an uneasy look in his eyes as soon as he realized it was me. He gave me a nervous smile. "O' course luv." He said. ------------------ I woke up and dug my head into the pillow. "Oww....my head..." I groaned and slowly got up. I went out on deck and walked slowly up to the helm. "Morning." I mummbled, still not able to focus on anything. My head felt like someone was having a cannon fight in it.

I chucked as Will stood one hand on my shoulder for support and the other on his head. "Sleep good?" I asked. He glared at me. "I think i fell out of my hammock." I simply smiled, then remembered I had to asked Jack which way to go now. ------------------------ I was still in another world, but nothing troubles captain Jack sparrow, so i wouldnt show it. "Jack are you sure nothing troubling you?" Anna urged. Damn, i suck at this. "Yes, yes....no." I said giving up. "What is it, then?" "Just somethin with that curse is all. Ill tell ye later." "Jack!" Jade called suddenly. I looked up. "Which way?" I looked down at my compase. It pointed east, I looked that way...Anna was standing in the way. I got up pushed her over slightly and it moved. "Give me a minute." I mummbled and walked past Anna brushing her hip with my arm. "Happy?" I whispered to the compass. It turned west, away from Anna and I grinned.

I raised my eyebrow at Jack. "What was that all about?" I asked and he looked at me. "What was what?" "That..that thing with you compass." "I have no idea what yer talkin' 'bout luv." He said and I rolled my eyes. "So, can you tell me now?" I asked him. "The thing about the curse." ---------------- "My head hurts." I muttered without realizing I said it. "Hmm...I wonder why." I looked at Jade and saw her smirking. "What?" "Do you have any idea how drunk you were last night?" "I was drunk." She merely smiled and rolled her eyes.

I thought i'd have a little fun with it. "Nope, of course not." "but I thought you said I was?" Will asked gripping the side of his head. "I did." "but you just said you didnt?" "No i didnt" At this point I couldnt hold back a smile. Will looked so confused and im sure he had a horrible headache. "Just kidding" I said slapping him on the back. ------------------------------------------ I sighed knowing I couldnt avoid it any longer. "Right then. Yer father..."I started. Anna looked egerly at me. I sighed again. "Yer father is the reason for me curse...and Im goin to find him to see if I can lift it...ye know...talk him into it." She looked at me with a "Press on" look so I continued. "Because if I cant get him ter lift it, i need to go through all sorts of things that'll probably get someone killed." At these words, she looked as though she might kill me if I didnt speek faster and clearer.

"What?! How could my father have ANYTHING to do with yer curse?! He's not...yer...URGH!" I groaned and paced back and forth, trying to take every thing in. Just as he was about to say something, I stopped in fron t of him and cut him off. "What if I were to talk to him and...talk him out of it? I mean, he'll listen to me and OBVIOUSLY, he doesnt like you." I said. "Well, I supposed it could work, but-" "No, no buts. It will work. I know my father. He'll listen to me." I said, cutting him off, again. ------------------- I looked at Jade oddly, not sure what was going on. After a minute or so, I understood. "Oh, I get it. You were screwin' with my head. Thanks." I added, sarcastically. She grinned. "Yer brilliant." She said with even more sarcasm. "Yeah...I know." I said and looked at the ground, closing my eyes, trying not to concentrate on the percing headache.

"Ye know...the harder you try NOT to consentrate on yer headache, the more yer gonna think about it." I explained. I had all too much experience with that. He nodded, "true...guess thats what I get for not drinkin." "Well yer gonna hafta start if yer gonna stay on this ship." I laughed. "And who says im staying on this ship?" He joked, but yet I knew he was serious. My smile faded slightly. "Yeah" I said forcing a chuckle. It hadnt accually occured to me that he might not stay on the ship...and I will admit, he's cute and I like him. It'd be ashame if he left. ------------------------------- "Now, listen here. I can take care of me own personally personal problematic issues. I dont need ye to talk to 'em." I said. Anna was nice and all...but "I like to handle me own problems, ye dont have to worr-?" "Dont be stupid" She snapped continuing her pace. "Why do ye care so much anyway?"

I stopped mid-stride and winced. "I care because...because...yer Jade's best friend...and she would upset if somethin' were to..erm, happen...and...and...oh I dont know! I just care alright?! Cant you deal with it?" I said, not looking at him. The real reason was I was starting to like him and wanted to know him better and not for him to die or something. ----------------------- I sighed. "No, I'm probably stayin' on the ship. I mean, I've got no where else to go. Sure, I could go back to Port Royal but then I'd have to put up with my ex-fiance and...it's much more interesting on the ship anyways." I explained and I swear I saw her face lite up. "Good, gives me someone other than Jack to talk to." She said with a slight smile. I smiled too. "Why? Cause I'm not a drunk?"
