I believe that what I said may have surprised the captain. But he quickly hid it and smiled.

"Aye cuttlefish," he said awkwardly, "it appears we do have a pirate love."

Suddenly, mr Gibbs rushed into the room, his face white as a ghost.

"the Dauntless sir," he said gasping for breath, "its Coming!"

Jack leaped up and yelled, "Prepare for battle!"

He began to leave the room but I followed. Turning to me he said, "No fishy, i can't let you come."

"Jack!" I pleaded, "I have to come! I won't let you face this alone!"

"No, I'm sorry. I just can't allow you to be hurt!"

"Well what about you?! You know that you could get hurt!"

"Get back to your cabin," he said, eyes like stone , "That's an order."

I stood, gaping in awe. Jack had never acted like this to me before. I knew very well that he was a great swordsman and an even better captain, but I couldn't help but worry that he would be hurt in some way. I knew that he would not be persuaded, I walked back into my room with a heavy heart.

"Oh Jack," I sighed, "why muat you do this?"

I could hear Jack speaking to someone outside.

"Jack Sparrow, you have been charged with the crimes too long to tell and are hereby arrested in the name of the crown for piracy." A voice that I recognized as Commander Norrington's was saying. No! I thought. I knew that I had to disobey him. Stepping outside, I said firmly, "I would appreciate you to unhand my captain!" I had my sword raised, ready to fight if necessary. The Commandeer looked at me with disgust.

"Honestl Sparrow, I knew you were a pirate but recruiting children? Really?"

This really put me on my last nerve. "Let him go, and I will be sure none of your crew is, how shall I say? Indisposed?"

Jack looked at me, the fire returned to his eyes. But as I looked at my captian, one of Norrington's men found the chance to grab ahold of me. I swung around, swiping at him with my blade. Before my sword found its target, somveone else drew their sword and struck my arm. Pushing the other man away, I spun to face my attacker. He tried to strike again but this time I was ready. I grabbed his arm and lashed at his sword arm, causing a long gash that would certainly be leaving a nice scar for him to remember me by. He brought the sword back around and gashed my forehead. I cried out in pain and before I knew it, I heard someone growling, "How dare you hurt my cuttlefish!" Immeadeatly, I recognized the voice. I looked up, to see my beloved pirate love, fighting off my attacker. "Jack!" I yelled, rejoining him in the fight. Tr as we might, we were terribly outnumbered. I felt a glancing blow to the head, and fell to the deck, unconcious.
