It was late at night and Angelica was dressed in her thin night gown with her hair down. She had been forced to endure a long day of church services, as it was Sunday. She didn't mind it that much. Her family was always big on angels, but to be a bride of god for the rest of her life was too much, even her mother would agree.

Angelica was brushing her hair when she heard a rough, yet warm voice, "hello again, love." he smirked from her bed.

She turned around and copied his smirk, "hello there, Captain Jack Sparrow." she said in her Spanish accent. "What brings you back?" She asked, clearly not minding his presence though.

"You." He winked at her. She purred and sat next to him on the edge of her bed, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Jack when do you leave town on your ship?" she questioned, twirling a lock of his hair.

"Tomorrow." he stated having to think it out first.

Angelica's faced dropped. "Tell me about some of your adventures." she pleaded. Jack thought about which one to tell when there was the same knock at the door from the last night. Angelica signaled to be very quiet and after a minute they heard footsteps go to the next door. Angelica giggled and then looked at jack for the story. Jack told her all about his adventures and how he got his ship and how he owes his soul to Davy Jones, but also how he would get out of it.

Jack was still talking when he caught Angelica yawn. "Tired?" he grinned.

Angelica nodded, "but go ahead tell me your stories." she tried to stay awake but her eye lids were stubborn to stay closed. Jack chuckled and pulled back her covers. She looked at him and then the covers but then got under her blankets.

Jack got low to her and whispered, "goodbye Angelica, love." it had a certain edge of sadness to it. As jack was getting up, a pair of hands reached up and grabbed his neck. Pulling him down to hug Angelica.

"Don't go" she pleaded now sitting up in her bed.

"Love, I have to." He held her hand.

"Take me with you" she said quickly and suddenly.

"What?!" Asked jack, surprised.

"Take me with you. I can't do this, jack. You said it yourself, I don't belong here. I want freedom. You can save me!" Angelica persuaded.

"I can't put you in danger," jack countered, "And I can think of 5 names already that would want to throw you overboard on sight, women are not appreciated on ships." Jack explained. "Sorry, love" he squeezed her hand and went to leave but she pulled him back and kissed him. Jack kissed her back and got in bed ontop her. He started taking her night gown off as she worked on his shirt buttons.

That night she lost her virginity to a pirate.

"I love you, jack." She honestly admitted, breathless from their frolic. He hugged her in his arms

"As do I" he stroked her hair and put his chin on her head.

Angelica lie against his chest thinking about what would happen if she missed this chance to escape. She would become a nun for the rest of her life and have no freedoms of any kind. And if she went with jack, freedom, sea air, love. Her choice was obvious. The problem was she didn't have a choice.
