Failed Mutiny
Jackie's POV
Coralia and I went to bed early that night. As I dreamt about us living on the Black Pearl with Jack. Sailing the seven seas. When I feel someone lay next to me on the bed. I smell Jack's unique scent and snuggle into his side sighing in content. "Hm...Jack...if this is a dream, you can keep the sword and boots on. If it's not" I say dreamily.
"It's a dream" he says quickly. I hear fighting above deck.
"No, it's not" I snap and he gets up.
"I thought I should let you know. We're taking the ship" he states heading for the door.
"A Mutiny? Jack..." I try to protest.
"I think it best you and our daughter stay out of it" he tells me before leaving. I sigh running a hand through my hair.
"Was that dad?" Coralia asks tiredly.
"Yes, he's leading mutiny as we speak" I tell her.
"Blackbeard won't like that" she states.
"I know, no matter what happens. Don't leave my side" I tell her. She nods her head. I grab my sword and knives. Putting my boots on. I then start to brush her hair as we ear the fighting stop.
Angelica enters the room. "Angelica, what a surprise" I say.
"You both are coming with me" she states.
"Very well" I say putting the brush down. I grab Coralia's hand and we follow Angelica to Blackbeard's cabin. We enter to see Jack holding his chest in pain. "Leave him alone" I snap.
"Remember father, we need him" Angelica tells him and Blackbeard stops hurting Jack. "He will help us. Won't you, Jack?" she asks him sweetly.
"That talk to my husband in that tone" I tell her annoyed.
"You see? Even now, she attends to your welfare. Giving lie to the claims you make of her" Blackbeard states.
"Are you both ok luv?" Jack asks me.
"We're fine dad" Coarlia assures him. I notice a pitchfork shaped scratch on his chest.
"I'll tend to that later" I tell him.
"You will lead us to the fountain, yes?" Angelica asks Jack in a normal tone.
"Put another way. If I do not make it to the Fountain in time, neither will your wife and daughter" Blackbeard threatens. I hold Coralia close glaring at Blackbeard.
"You touch my daughter, I kill yours" I sneer.
"I will have a wee look-see at those charts straightaway then, shall I?" Jack offers. He does just that giving the bearings for White Cap Bay. Blackbeard then let us go. I drag Jack to mine and Coralia's cabin.
"Sit" I tell him. "Remove your shirt" I instruct.
"Jackie, there is a child present" he tells me.
"Oh grow up" I tell him annoyed as I grab clean sheets. Starting to rip them. "Coralia, go to bed" I tell her and she does so. Once Jack's torso was bare I cleaned the wound with rum.
"Ouch, that stings luv" he tells me and I roll my eyes. Once it was clean I wrap the wound.
"There all done" I state and wash my hands in the water basin on the table.
"Jackie, would you join me for dinner?" he asks me.
"Of course" I say and we leave the cabin. Locking the door behind us. We go above deck to see Scrum playing his guitar. With a romantic dinn"er set up for two. "Wine, music, candlelight. This is very sweet Jack" I tell him smiling.
"Anything for you my luv" he tells me.
"You can be so charming when you want something, Jack" I state. "What is it you wish to know?" I ask him as he hands me a glass of wine.
"The fountain, what's required?" he asks me.
"Water...from the Fountain of Youth. The shimmering tear of a mermaid. The two Silver Chalices of Ponce de Leon" I tell him. "With these items, you may steal all the years of life from another" I state.
"What?" he asks me shocked.
"See you can't go alone Jack, the ritual requires a victim" I tell him.
"I find my desire for the Fountain greatly lessened" he tells me.
"But there is something on board you do want, aside from Coralia and I" I tell him. He looks at me confused. I grab his hand. "We must be quick" I tell him and lead him to where Blackbeard keeps his trophies.
"What of Blackbeard and he's daughter?" he asks me concerned.
"They are in the chart room, we must be quick" I tell him as I unlock a large cabinet. He looks at me with a raised eyebrow. "What I stole it from Angelica" I tell him smugly. I open the cabinet door.
"The Black Pearl in a bottle, why is the Black Pearl in a bottle?" he asks me.
"He keeps each ship as a trophy" I state. Jack the monkey swings into view with Tia screeching.
"I hate that monkey" Jack mutters. "Why were there two?" he asks me.
"Barbossa got Coralia one as she loved monkey Jack so much" I tell him.
"So I can't dump them over board when we get the Pearl out of the bottle?" he asks me.
"No, you can't" I tell him as I lock the cabinet back up. "I must return to Coralia, I'll see you in the morning Jack" I tell him and give him a kiss. "I love you" I state.
"As I love you Jackie" he tells me. We leave and he walks me back to my cabin. "Sure I can't spend the night?" he asks me.
"Jack, our daughter is in there" I remind him. "But I promise, once we're free. I'm all yours" I tell him and kiss him one last time before entering the cabin.
