Sparrow's Revenge

3

Charlotte POV

We walked off of the Interceptor and were met with the loud screams of drunk men and women, gun shots and smashing bottles. "Don't you just love this place?!" I asked, my words laced with sarcasm.

"What do you think?" Jack said completely ignoring my comment. He did say something else previous to this but he was to drunk to be understood. By me anyway, probably by Will as well.

"It'll linger." Will said slightly disgusted.

"I'll tell ya mate, if every town in the world was like this one, no man would ever feel unwanted. Scarlett!!" Jack called waving his cane around like he knew what he was doing. Wait, where did he get a cane from? Never mind. A red headed woman made her way over to us and full on slapped Jack across the face. "No way!!" I said my mouth wide open "Do it again!" I smiled and jumped slightly on the balls of my feet and looking up to the sky.

"I'm not sure I deserve that!" Jack said puzzled.

"HA, I beg to differ!" I scoffed.

"Giselle!" Jack greeted another woman, this one was blond and wearing a pale dress.

"'Ho was she?"

"What?" Jack asked but instead of a verbal response he got his second slap of the evening evening. I didn't even try to conceal my laughter and Will looked at me with an eyebrow raised, a smirk plastered on his face.

"Thank you God." I smiled and looked up at the sky, still laughing slightly.

"I may have deserved that." Jack bartered.

"You think?" I carried on laughing and Jack just looked at me. Once I had pulled myself together I turned to Jack and said "Jack I need to buy some clothes and by that I mean steal from the local shop."

"What's wrong with the clothes you have on, they are big don't reveal anything they're perfect." Jack reasoned as he took in what I was wearing.

"Jack these are yours and they stink and I have nothing holding the girls where they should be." I rested my hands on my hips and he pulled a face and appeared awkward.

"I find that very insensitive and- wait why do you have my clothes?" He looked at me quizzically.

"Do we have to discuss this now?"

"Point taken, I'll get us a drink." He soon walked off leaving me and Will in the middle of the worst place on planet earth. I smiled and held out my arm towards Will. "Shall we." I giggled, something that I had never done before and unnerved me greatly. He still looked mildly bewildered at the island but nodded and took my arm none the less. I turned us around and took us to a slightly quieter area where shops stood dark and full of clothes ready for me to steal. "This will do." I stated and stopped us outside an empty shop. Will looked at me as if questioning how we would get in when I took out my lock pick and got to work. I he looked both impressed and disgusted at such a talent. I used my hip to push the door open and began wandering around, squinting to get the best look at some of the clothes in the dark.

"So... how do you know Jack?" He asked attempting to start a conversation.

"He's my brother." I stated, pulling a coat off a rack. I noticed Will's look of alarm in the corner of my eye and I hooked the coat over my arm. I could feel him staring as I moved, probably trying to spot a resemblance between us. There wasn't much aside from the tanned skin and dark hair and eyes. He kept silent as I picked up blouses and breeches and leggings and even tighter pants, as well as some corsets and corset belts to go with. I walked behind the counter, looking for a bag or something suitable to put all my items in. When I found one big enough I shoved everything into it and put a shilling in a jar at the front. "Yo ho, a pirates life for me." I smirked and walked out of the shop and towards the bar where we had left Jack.

"So, who's older?" Will asked.

"Jack. Not that you'd think it. I haven't seen him in years until now. He hasn't changed at all." I explained and he nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a brother?"

"You never asked." I looked him in the eye. I didn't want to know his opinion, not many people liked a girl after learning she comes from a family of pirates and is one herself. We made it back to the bar and Jack was stood outside holding two buckets of water.

"Come with me." I waved his arm and passed a bucket to Will. We looked at each other, puzzled, but followed him anyway. He led us to a pig shed where there was a figure in amongst the animals. Jack threw his bucket of water over the man, instantly waking him.

"CURSE YOU FOR BREATHING YOU SLACK JAWED IDIOT." He started to wave around a little pocket knife before he noticed who stood before him. "Mothers love, Jack, you know better than to wake a man when he's sleeping, it's bad luck."

"Ah, fortunately I know how to counter it!" Jack begins smugly. "The man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink, the man who was sleeping drinks it whilst listening to a proposition from the man who did the waking." He finished with an eyebrow raised.

"Aye, that'll do it. Charlotte?"

"Gibbs." I nod my head in acknowledgement. As soon as I had Will throws his bucket over the tired man.

"Blast! I'm already awake!!" He yelled for the second time that evening.

"That was for the smell." Will states to which Gibbs shrugged and nodded his head in agreement and together we go back to the bar.

-----

I didn't feel the need to join in their conversation nor did I want to, so I stood to the side with Will, keeping an eye out for the Royal Navy. Every now and then I would look over to Jack and Gibbs but when I turned around I saw a heavily drunk woman getting cosy with Will who looked slightly freaked out and was sliding closer to me. I stifled a laugh and took control of the situation by grabbing Will's hand and pulled him away making myself visible to the now very annoyed woman.

"You enjoyed that didn't you?!" Will smiled down at me. I didn't realise how tall he was.

"It was a good source of entertainment I have to admit." I answered him truthfully, which I seemed to be doing a lot around him. Before anymore could be said we heard two mugs slam onto the table and saw that Jack and Gibbs had finished their conversation.

"Ok, Gibbs is going to go and do me a few jobs and we're going to stay here tonight but sadly we will be sharing rooms so you two will be sharing and I am going to..... Well, never mind what I'm going to do. Here's your key off you go." With that Jack walked off, probably to find one of the women from earlier, leaving myself and Will rather dumbstruck.

"Well this could be interesting!" I smirked and left Will with his mouth still slightly agape. It took him a while to finally catch up but he did just in time before entering the dingy room. It really was quite vile even for a pirate.

"You were right this could be interesting!" Will stated from beside me, looking to the double bed in the center of the room.

"I normally am. Anyway, you take the bed I'll take what appears to be a sofa." I responded and cringed as I got closer to the unsanitary piece of furniture.

"Or we could both take the bed." Will offered. "It's not like either of us are particularly keen about sleeping anywhere in this room, it wouldn't be fair if one person was worse off than the other." He reasoned. I nodded and move to the far side of the bed by the window. I dumped my bag of clothes at the end of the bed and untied the bandanna from around my waist which caused my breeches to fall down, leaving me almost completely exposed in front of Will. The shirt hung just above my knees and I pulled back the covers before awkwardly sliding in, Will moving from his space to do the same. It was cold and the cover was ripped in several place causing my teeth to clack together. Will obviously heard as he turned over and pulled me closer to him, wrapping his arms around my middle and tucking me into his chest with his chin resting atop my head. Instantly I felt his warmth and smiled as my teeth stopped making their infernal noise and soon drifted into a dreamless sleep.
