Angelica worked at the closet lock. She had done it before, she just had to get it to- click!- Aha!

Angelica bolted out of the closet and out onto the deck where she was instantly cornered by a dozen men with swords, and she was unarmed.

Good plan Angelica, she thought. She was thrown into jack as they were walked down to the brig.

----------------------------------------------

Angelica sat down on the bench in the cell and tried to think of a way out. Jack was pacing around the small cell, which, after an hour, got old.

"Stop it! You're making me dizzy." She yelled.

"It's how I think. I don't see you trying to make a plan." He snapped.

"Well I am." She said quietly. Jack looked at her suddenly smirking,

"seeing as there's nothing better to do, where were we when we were so rudely interrupted?" Jack walked over to her, sat down, and started kissing her neck.

"Jack, no" she tried to protest but it came out as a whimper. She stood up to get away but Jack pinned her up against the cell bars and kissed her passionately. She gave up and kissed him back. "Good girl, love." Jack said, satisfied that she finally gave in, and then resumed kissing her.

Just then a man came down to get them. He looked embarrassed at walking into an intimate moment. Angelica rolled her eyes. Once they got on deck they could see they were on an island.

"Bugger." Jack mumbled. They were thrown in the sand with their hands tied and one pistol.

Angelica had untied her hands in the boat and reached for the pistol.

"Don't!" jack stopped her. "We only have one shot and it won't do any good to kill just one of them." Angelica lowered the pistol and watched with hate as the ship became a blurry dot on the horizon.

She didn't notice that jack was still struggling with the bonds until he grunted with frustration. She turned around and rolled her eyes but helped him.

"How are you still alive if you don't know how to escape?" she commented, raising an eyebrow.

"I can escape! just not as fast as some." He said the last part shamefully. "Love, keep your hands off the pistol if you want to get off this god forsaken island alive." Jack said sitting on the sand.

"So we just sit here and wait for a ship? more like sit here and wait for our deaths. Shouldn't we go get food and water?" Angelica pointed to the forest. Jack laughed.

"And whose been marooned at least 5 times? Love, there's never any food or water. That's why they leave us here, to die. They don't stock these places with hidden shelters ye know." Jack said mockingly.

Angelica got offended and stormed off.

"I'll come after you when you scream because there's a bug in your hair!" jack called after her, only enraging Angelica more. Jack produced a bottle of rum from his shirt and began to drink.

Angelica was stomping through the forest. He thinks I'm so delicate. So girly and innocent. Let's see what he thinks when he realizes who father is. Or maybe I just won't tell him! I will let him find out on his own and then cower from me! Ha! She thought. One might think she was going crazy.

Angelica found a big tree and climbed it. She found a wide limb and stretched out. He will see. I will show him how delicate I am. She ranted in her head as she fell asleep.

Right before she dozed off she pulled up her shirt to look at her wound. A scar in the shape of a J.
