They have been out for several days since they acquired their newest member and as the night sky fills up with cloud rain crashes down onto the main deck. Everyone but Willow and Jack are asleep.

"So, what got your interest in William?" Jack asks her as he grabs the rope to raise the sails.

"He asked me out on a date we got to know eachother found out we both like hunting and doing anything to escape the wretched realities we trap ourselves in," Willow says bitterly.

'"Wow that is pretty deep, if I had asked you out before him would you have said yes," Jack says timidly. Willow can see the yearning in his eyes and suddenly she realizes his eyes reflect the moonlight perfectly.

"Yes, but if you were to ask me to leave him for you no I would say no because that is not the kind of person I have ever been," Willow says sadly and then William makes his way up and does not look happy.

"Hello angel, Jack-," he says glaring at him which tells Willow he knew about his feelings towards her.

"Look if this is going to create tensions between you two I can stay single," Willow says nostalgically.

"No, I asked you out on dare from the guys but now I really have feelings for you," he says realizing he made a mistake right then and there.

"A dare wow thats nice to know that I was just some little game to you young men," Willow says twisting her hips and running downstairs in fury. She hears footsteps following behind her and they are no other than Jack.

"You are not a dare or game to me I have had feelings for yo since the beginning," Jack says grabbing her in an embrace as tears fall down her cheek.

"All my life I have been treated like a conquest or dare to date the tough girl, because no one could ever love a tough girl men like it easy they would all say teasingly, they were all boys I am waiting for a man Jack and I thought he was but I was wrong it hurts," Willow says falling apart in his arms but he slowly kisses her lips and William walks down and laughs.

"She is all yours and look Willow I am sorry I hope you can forgive me for playing with you," he says but Jack gently sets her down on his bed and rises to his feet.

"You my friend will be punished we all have fights but treating her like this is wrong, who put you up to this," Jack says staring everyone on the ship down with his firey eyes that could kill by one glance.

"Mikey, Trent and Lincoln," he says looking at all of them whispering sorry under his breath.

"You four come with me," Jack says storming up to the captain.

"These three played our guest," Jack says to his father.

"Well you three are going to be punished by swabbing the deck, cleaning the bathroom, and fishing in the water and fifty slashings each," Captain says. Willow comes running behind them.

"Please not fifty slashings what they have done is horrible but it could have been a lot worse please they do not deserve that it is not like they raped me," Willow says without holding back anything.

"Alright fine ten slashings and you have  to do them," Captain says. Willow smirks evily and grabs the whip out of his hand. Jack rips William's shirt and he spreads his legs.

She rises the whip quickly and then slowly lets it smack his back she hears the loud sound as it hits his skin. He lets out a ravishing yelp as he begins to cling to the poll. Blood trickles down the back but he taunts her by saying "Come on is that all you got?" 

"You have ten more and if I were in your position I would not be teasing the woman I used and who has a whip with your name on it buddy," Willow retorts and raises her arm back even further and this time she holds no energy or force back and his yelp is even louder and there isi more blood trickeling from one wound onto the floor creating a puddle beneath his feet but there is nothing he can do about it now. Suddenly his brother steps in. "Let me take the rest I am younger and can take the pain a lot easier than you can," he says renting the clothes off his back and pushing his older brother side.

"Fat chance I promised mom to protect you so step aside this my punishment," he says glancing back at Willow with tears in his eyes.

"It was my dare, I deserve it just as much if not more than he does please take me instead," Mikey says and he grasps the poll where his brother stood and Willow laid down the whip.

"I refuse to punish these men no matter how rotten the treated me this is brutal and foul they are not the enemy they are my friends, despite feeding me to the dogs," Willow says boldly.

"She passed," Captain Sparrow said with a smirk grabbing the whip and throwing it in the ocean.

"What the heck do you mean I passed," Willow asked with a glare straight from Jack to his father.

"This was all a test to see if you were loyal to everyone on this ship even those who pretended they pretended they were dared to court you doll face," Captain Sparrow said with a grimace on his face.

"You foul Captain," Willow says with anger building up from the bottom of her soul steaming to the brimace of her nose wondering if there is steam coming out of her.

"Well we all had a test to prove our loyalty it is how a crew stays family and builds teamwork as we go and find the treasures of the deep. Of course it was my mom's idea considering how many people have betrayed or abandoned members of the crew including my father," Jack said with a smirk grasping her hands tightly she pulls him close as the sunsets and puts on him in front of anyone. She wants to be clear who she loves and that nobody is to mess with her again.

"Of course I will stay loyal you are the only friends I have," Willow says and then grabs Jack again and jumps in his arms and they kiss and jump in the ocean together on top of a giant whale.
