Time and Tide

Chapter 11


Two days later.....


Sierra was sure she'd found paradise. These last few days since she'd been reunited with Jack were nothing short of just that. They'd spent their days and nights doing whatever it was they felt. Playing in the ocean, practicing with sword and pistol, making love. She didn't want it to end. However, she could also see that Jack was starting to get restless for the sea, and she was feeling the same. Sure, she could try and convince Jack to just stay there with her, just the two of them, but it wouldn't be fair. He was a pirate and even she knew his first love was the sea. She didn't even want to try. All she wanted was to sail with him and be by his side wherever he was. She looked wistfully out to sea as her hair blew lightly in the sea breeze. Shivering a bit, she wrapped her arms around herself. Unknown to her, Jack walked silently up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her back into his warm embrace and moving her hair aside so he could kiss her neck.

"Cold, luv?" he whispered, tracing the lines of her ear with his tongue. Sierra shivered again.

"Not anymore, Jack.. " she said, turning around in his arms. Jack could see a wistful look in her cerulean blue eyes, but he said nothing. She lay her head on his chest and closed her eyes, wrapping her arms around him. She didn't want to let him go, not ever.

"I can tell you are troubled, darling.. what is it? " he asked quietly. She lifted her head and looked into the dark pools of his eyes.

" I don't quite know how to say it, Jack. I love you so much, but I feel as if I have kept you and myself, from the sea for far too long. You know that it is my fault that we both are here and that the Pearl is lost. These few days have been nothing short of paradise, Jack, and I don't want to lose that. But at the same time, I long to be with you on the Pearl."

"So you feel as if you've done me a disservice, then? No, darling. It is true that I am restless for the sea and the Pearl, but think of what could have happened if I hadn't drifted here. You'd be alone. You'd have likely went crazy. I know you would have survived, I don't doubt that. What did happen, was that we did find each other and now I could not part with you...ever. Tis a good thing you want to be with me on the Pearl because if not I'd likely have to kidnap you and tie you to me bed! " he said with a chuckle. Sierra even had to grin a little at that statement.

"I don't think you'd have to kidnap me, Captain Sparrow. You'll not find one more willing to be in your bed than I.. "she said with a smirk.

"That so, luv?" he whispered as his mouth slowly lowered to hers..

"Aye, Captain, " she whispered back as their mouths slowly crashed together in a slow, passionate kiss. Jack's tongue worked magic in her mouth as he held her close. she kissed him back just as hotly and soon the two of them were lost in another world. Jack's hands moved to touch her all over as their mouths met again and again. Her hands were not idle, but were all over him as well. Suddenly, the heard a small screech and Sierra looked to see Tina looking up at them inquisitively. Jack's mouth had moved from her lips to her neck.

"Jack, we have an audience I think.. " she got out, half giggling, half moaning. Jack stopped kissing her neck long enough to look down and see the little monkey jumping up and down and screeching.

"Monkey.. figures.. " He laughed.

"I think she's thirsty Jack, as am I.. I need... a drink." she said with a wink.

Jack grinned and headed off in the direction of the woods and the rum cache. Little did they know that paradise was about to be lost.


The Shining Dagger dropped anchor not far from the shore. This was an uncharted island, and was sure to be lush with spices and other niceties. Captain Daniel Andrews,of the East India Trading Company, stood at the helm. He looked out over the beach with his scope. No signs of human life, though he did see a few birds and other creatures.

"Men, let's make land fall and fan out over the island and have a look, shall we?" he addressed the crew.

The longboat was lowered and the Captain and five of his crew boarded it, rowing to the beach. They fanned out over the beach, looking around and then they disappeared into the woods. They found the island to be lush with spices and fruit and full of wildlife. What they saw next, they had not expected.


Jack had just put the covering back on the rum cache and was just about to turn and walk back to camp when he heard a voice call out, and it was not Sierra's.

"HALT, YOU! Who are you?" Jack could hear several people running towards him and before he could pull a disappearing act, the 3 of them had him surrounded, muskets drawn. Jack, unaccustomed to not being armed with at least his pistol, was in a fix, indeed.

"Well, as I live an' breathe, Jack Sparrow. Fancy finding you here, get marooned again?" a sailor by the name of Wilkes spat out.

"So it seems, however its gotten quite a bit better since I found me rum, care to have a drink gentlemen?" Jack replied, trying to keep them from going further. They advanced, and he moved in front of them. They advanced again. Again he moved in their path. Then Captain Andrews found the four of them and looked at his men in astonishment.

"Well, well, Jack Sparrow. What do we owe the honor of finding you here?" Andrews said with an evil smile. Jack grinned nervously, eyes darting from one man to the next.

"Seems he has been marooned here, Sir, " Wilkes answered.

"I see, well, it seems we've found a far greater prize here than just spices and fruit. Jack Sparrow, the most sought after pirate of the seas. I think I may see a few promotions coming on the horizon, gentlemen." Andrews said, casting another glance at Jack.

Once again they tried to advance forward, once again Jack stepped between them and the direction of where Sierra was, waiting for him.

"Hiding something, Sparrow?" Captain Andrews inquired.

"Whatever makes ye say that?" Jack answered.

"Whenever my men advance in this direction, you seem to want to put yourself in their path. Could it be you're not alone, then?"

"No, I am, just want to protect me camp is all.." Jack answered quickly.

"Indeed? We shall see then. Men! Clamp him in irons! You, Sparrow, will lead us to your "camp" ," the Captain said, giving Jack a hard look. The other sailors held Jack's arms as Wilkes put on the irons and then two of the men surrounded him, while Wilkes and the other sailors went in behind with Captain Andrews. Jack had no choice but to go in the direction they pushed him in.

Sierra wondered what was taking Jack so long. He hadn't had to go far to the rum cache. She felt for her effects, and was glad they were there. Suddenly an uneasy feeling swept over her and she pulled her dagger from her boot. Just inside the woods behind her stood Wilkes and another of the men, looking the beauty up and down. Not far behind them were the others with Jack in tow.

"Protect his camp, indeed," said Wilkes with a lewd chuckle, "I've been without a woman for awhile and she's spoiled goods anyway. I think I'll have a taste."

The other man just laughed and they advanced upon Sierra. Before she could scream, Wilkes had a hand over her mouth and her arm pinned behind her.She stomped on his foot, which made him release her mouth and screamed for Jack as loud as she could. Just as she did, she saw him come out of the woods, clamped in irons and surrounded by more sailors and their Captain. Wilkes gave Jack an evil look and then forced a bruising kiss upon Sierra's mouth, and groped and pinched her breasts. It only brought back memories Sierra would have liked to forget. Jack could only watch and struggle as Wilkes tried to hurt what he'd only touched lovingly. For a fleeting moment, her eyes blazed and then she flipped the one man and then kicked Wilkes right in the balls. As he doubled over in pain, she stabbed him deep in the gut as far as her dagger would go. Blood pooled from him and she stabbed him again for good measure.

"Bloody...chit..." he said as he breathed his last.

The other man, recovering from being flipped, grabbed Sierra's arm and pulled it as far behind and up as he could behind her, taking the dagger from her. She kicked and screamed as she tried to get to Jack. Bloody hell if she could get free, she'd take on the lot of them, she would. Jack struggled all the while, but could not help but smile at her. Bloody brave, she was. Sierra continued to try to get away, stomping, kicking and even trying to bite. Like a wild cat, she fought. Suddenly a gun was pointed to her temple.

" If you don't shut it, you bloody pirate slut, I'll spill your brains right now!" said the man with a snarl. Sierra instantly stilled and quickly looked at Jack, who had a slight look of alarm on his face.

"Very well, men, nicely done. To the brig with them, separate cells, if you please.." Captain Andrews ordered.


They half dragged Sierra and Jack back through the woods and back to the ship. Sierra could only steal glances at him, for when she tried to reach out to him, she was ruthlessly jerked away. Jack watched the rough handling of his Sierra and vowed then and there that should he ever cross paths with them again as a free man, they would surely die. They took them below deck of the ship and to the brig. Sierra was shoved into one cell and and Jack into another. They didn't even give them the pleasure of being able to touch hands through the cell bars, for they were at opposite ends of the brig. They could only see each other. Jack watched as a single tear fell from Sierra's eye. He wished he could hold her and take away the pain that bloody bastard had caused her.

"I love you..." he mouthed, winking at her.

"Love you too, Jack..." she smiled through her tears.

Unknown to the sailors and Jack and Sierra, a little stowaway jumped aboard and hid herself.

Chapter 12

Three days later.....


The Shining Dagger dropped anchor at Port Royal and Jack and Sierra were immediately taken to the jail and charged with piracy and Sierra, murder as well. Again, the soldiers did not allow them niceties. This time, they were not only put in separate cells, but away from each other's view as well. Sierra sat in her cell, longing to be in Jack's arms. Jack wished he could hold her. Sierra was worried, not knowing where Jack was, or even if they'd yet sent him to the gallows. However, she felt that if they had, they'd have forced her to watch, just to be cruel. She had to figure a way to escape and find out. She must find the Pearl and get the crew to help her save Jack. She had to.

The next night, she sat half sleeping, half thinking and heard a sound outside the door of her cell. She looked up to see a familiar furry face staring back at her. It was Tina! The little monkey slid through the bars with ease, since she was so small. Sierra hugged her little pet.

"Why you sneaky little stowaway!" Sierra quietly giggled. She knew that was indeed the only way Tina could have gotten to Port Royal. Suddenly, and idea came to her mind. Maybe she could get Tina to steal the keys from the guard. She wondered if the monkey was smart enough to understand. She took her back over to the bars of the cell and pushed her back through them.

"I want you to go and get the keys, Tina.. "Sierra said, pointing to the sleeping guard. Tina looked at her, then back at the guard. "Go on, be a good girl.."

Sierra bit her lip and then sighed with relief when the monkey took off in the direction of the guard, seeming to understand. She watched as Tina ever so slightly lifted the keys from the hook by the guard's shoulder and quickly but quietly brought them to her.

"Good girl, "Sierra said quietly , as she took the keys and quietly unlocked the door. She quietly slipped out, with Tina on her shoulder and made her way past the sleeping guard. She looked around quickly for Jack, but saw he was not in any of the cells around her. They must have put him in another of the jail buildings. Feeling saddened, she knew she must find the Pearl. Little did she know, the ship was closer than she knew.

Gibbs saw Port Royal on the horizon, maybe some contacts there had seen Jack or Sierra. They had been lost at sea for days, and had not yet seen anything of their Captain or Sierra. The code stated that any man who fell behind, got left behind, but Jack was Gibb's very best mate as well as his Captain. If Jack was able to be found, Gibbs would try his best to find him. The whole crew missed Sierra and they wished to find her as well, for they knew Jack would not be good to get along with if she were gone. They sailed closer to Port Royal, not long now before they could drop anchor.


Sierra awoke the next morning and stretched. She and Tina had found an abandoned barn to sleep in the night before. She stood up and looked out the door before walking out. All of the guards and soldiers were up by the fort and she saw that The Shining Dagger was no longer in port. She walked about, pilfering food for herself and Tina. Then she saw it, the bag of coins on the podium by the docks. Ever so slyly, she waited until the clerk walked away and snatched it, walking quickly away. She continued on to the jail. Bloody hell, too many guards around there! She made her way to the fort and looked to the gallows and swallowed hard. Jack was not there, thank God. She immediatley turned and headed back to the port. When she looked out to sea, she let out a gasp. No, it couldn't be, oh but it was! The Pearl! Not far from port. Not wanting to wait for them to drop anchor, she and Tina dove into the water and began to swim towards the ship. Sierra swam quickly, with the monkey perched on her back.

Gibbs looked out with his scope and saw what appeared to be someone swimming towards them. As they got closer, he saw it was Sierra.

"Drop a line, quickly!" he shouted.

"Sierra, take the line!" he shouted to her.

Sierra took the line and the men heaved her aboard. She stood there, shivering and coughing. One of the men wrapped her in a blanket and Tina jumped into the safety of her arms.

"Sierra, where be Jack?" Gibbs questioned his first concern.

"Jack... oh god, Mr. Gibbs we have to help him. I am so glad to have finally found you!" Sierra exclaimed.

" Aye, and I , you. Now s'pose you tell me what the matter be.."

Sierra quickly told them where she and Jack had been and what had happened leading up to her finding the Pearl.

"So you see, I need your help, all of you. Jack faces the gallows and I fear if we don't get to him quickly, it will be soon!" she said.

"But ye said yerself, dearie that ye don't even know where Jack be. He could have already had his neck stretched as far as ye know."

"I know he hasn't, Mr. Giibbs. I would have felt it, here" she pointed to her heart. "Please, we don't have much time. Jack is somewhere in the jail. You should also know, that myself face the gallows as well, but I escaped, with the help of a little friend.. " and she introduced them to Tina.

"We all face the gallows, Sierra, tis part of being a pirate. But as you said, the Pearl must have her Captain. Gentlemen! Prepare to make landfall!" Gibbs ordered.

Sierra quickly found and grabbed Jack's effects as they dropped anchor.The long boats were dropped and they were off.


Jack stood at the small window of his cell, looking out at the other buildings. He didn't even know which one Sierra was in or if she even was. It was hell not knowing. Not knowing if she was there. Not knowing if she was scared or hurt. Not even knowing if she was even alive. He missed her. He tried and tried to think of a way to spring himself from the cell, but to no avail. He sighed. He had to get out and find Sierra. Little did he know, she wasn't far away.


The long boats approached the docks and Sierra, along with the crew, disembarked. Sierra looked around and then up towards the jail, which was heavily guarded as usual.

"Mr. Gibbs, I know Jack is not in the building I was in, so he must be in the other one beside it. " Sierra said, pointing to the building.

"Aye, unless they've gotten 'im already. But I won't say that for yer benefit, miss. I'll have some of the men make a diversion while Marty takes yer keys and springs Jack free. You stay here, where it is safe."

Sierra cleared her throat. "I am thankful for your wanting to protect me in Jack's absence, Mr. Gibbs, but this is something I need to do. I wanted you all to help me by being there in case I got in over my head. I got Jack into this, its only fair I get him out of it."

"You're brave, lass. I'll give ye that. But yer also a wanted woman now, and don't think those guards are gonna go easy on ye. Ye killed one of their own for starters, second you're branded a pirate's woman. Remember that." Gibbs' look was dead serious.

"Look at me, Mr. Gibbs.." Sierra opened her arms wide.." Have I not changed since I was found aboard the Pearl? I am meant for this pirate's life, just as I am for Jack. I love him, and I will not stand by without helping him myself. I know those guards will have it in for me and that's ok. I can handle it.. all I ask for is the help of you and the crew should things get bad."

Gibbs sighed.. " You're right, miss. I'll not stand in yer way. If ye must go an rescue Jack yourself, than be that as it may. The crew and meself will cause a diversion and be there for ye, should you need us."


Sierra smiled and headed off in the direction of the tavern, and when she returned, Gibbs didn't recognize her and she walked right past him. She had decided a disguise was in order and decided to use the clothes Alice had given her. She had one of the wenches there help her get into the corset and dress. Then she sat down at the woman's dressing table and allowed her to make her up with the heavy makeup they all wore. Next, she piled her butt -length hair into a twist and put in the combs the woman gave her. When she finished, she looked like a strumpet, just the look she was going for.

She strolled out and towards the jail, making absolute sure to get right in the guard's line of sight. She batted her eye lashes and swayed her hips seductively as she walked past. A few minutes later, she walked back the same way, and of course, he was watching her display.

"Ye be needin somethin' miss? " said the guard with a licentitious grin.

"Aye.. it seems I do, sir.. a poor workin girl always needs a few pretties, a few coins.. " Seirra said, walking up to him and smiling seductively.

" And what do ye be offerin for coin and pretties? Hmmm? "

"Well, the first kiss is free, becuase you're so handsome.. but coin is necessary if ye want a tumble, sir..." She said, leaning forward, and letting him get a good view of her cleavage.

The guard couldnt help but look..and he cleared his throat. " Kiss is free? I think I'll be taking you up on that offer then. "

"You're smart too, sir.." Sierra said as she leaned forward and puckered her lips.

The guard leaned forward to kiss her and at the same time his hand came up to grab her arm. Just as his lips were about to touch hers, she clouted him on the head with her purse, knocking him out cold. Sierra grinned and opened her purse and looked in at the brick she'd placed in it. She chuckled.

"Well that was easy... "

She cautiously looked around and then slipped into the door. There stood the inside guard and he didnt look so naive. She snuck up behind him and before he knew it, had her pistol to his head. The guard tried to turn, but she cocked back the hammer and he stilled.

"Drop your weapons..." she quietly said in his ear. He had no choice but to comply. After they fell to the ground, she chuckled.

"Now, I want you to give me the keys and go to the nearest empty cell.." she said again, her pistol still trained to his temple. The man gave her the keys and walks towards the nearest cell. Sierra pushed him in and locked the door. Then she pointed her pistol at him.

"Not a word, sir, or I shall come back over here and splatter your brains on the wall behind you.." she growled. The man nearly wet himself, he was so scared. She laughed. These cadets were too naive.

Jack heard the commotion from the entrance to the jail and wondered what was going on. He'd give anyhting for some excitement right now. What he really wanted though, was to get free and find Sierra. He saw a woman walking down towards his cell. She seemed to be one of the town's strumpets. He'd never seen her before, but at the same time, she looked oddly familiar.

Sierra looked at every cell, still not finding Jack. She was beginning to get worried. Then, in the very last one, she saw him, lying on his back in the straw. She smiled and walked up to the cell door.

"Captain Sparrow?" she called.

"Aye.." JAck looked up and saw it was the woman.

"Fancy a tumble, darling?" then she smiled seductively. Jack knew that smile. He however, decided to play along.

"Seems so, but I haven't any coin on me at the moment.."

Sierra stifled a laugh and opened the cell door. "Jack, don't you recognize me?" she stepped up to Jack, who had stood up.

"Couldn't forget that smile, darling.. " and immediately she was swept into his arms for a kiss that left her breathless and weak. Jack's hands and mouth were on her wherever he could reach. She held back a moan. She must finish this.

"JacK...darling...lets not get to carried away here..."

"Can't resist, luv.. been away from you too long.." he said, between kisses.

Jack! Honestly, darling, can we get out of here? The guards will be here soon and this damned corset is killing me!"

Jack laughed.." Well,luv.. if you're so inclined.But did you honestly think that I would resist your tempting offer of a tumble?"

"Later, Jack... we need to get out of here!" she grinned.


She gave Jack his effects and they cautiously watched before slipping out the door. Wasn't long before the locked up guard had alerted the others that Jack had escaped. Sierra and Jack ran, scattering in different directions. Sierra was rushed at by a guard and drew her sword, striking his out of his hand before he could so much as take a strike at her. She ran again. They were coming from all directions. She found two of them after Jack and ran to help him. Together they fought and disarmed them both. Gibbs saw that they were getting surrounded and outnumbered quickly. He signaled to the crew and everyone joined in on the fight, creating a huge diversion. Sierra, Jack and the crew all fought right up to the docks where they hastily climbed into the long boats and were off. They rowed quickly and soon were back aboard the Pearl. They did not take any time for proper hellos. Jack gave orders to immediately set sail and the crew swung into action, Sierra included. Jack watched her as he took the helm. She looked up and gave him a wink before setting to work and they were off, back to the deep sea.


Chapter 13


Sierra kept stealing glances at Jack as he stood at the helm, steering. She ached for him. She tried to keep to her tasks until they were deep at sea, but to no avail. She couldn't stop watching him. Jack didn't miss the heated glances that she kept giving him. As much as he wanted to drag her off to his quarters right then and there, he knew it would have to be later, considering the latest circumstances. He was so proud of her. Sierra had come a long way from the woman she was when Jack first met her. He'd never doubted she was strong, but now he knew just how strong she was. A brave one too. He chuckled as he thoughts about the plan she'd come up with to rescue him. How could he not love her? She was smart, crafty, brave..and a pirate.. in every sense of the word. He grinned wickedly as he thought about the offer she'd given him when she came to spring him from the jail. A tumble indeed! She had no idea exactly what she was in for once they were alone. He'd been without her for too long. Suddenly, blood coursed below his waist. Bugger.. he had to have her now! Where was she? Then he spied her, coming back up on deck. Apparently, she'd went in to wash the heavy makeup off her face. Much better, he thought. He signaled to Cotton to come steer and made his way toward her. Saying nothing, he took her by the arm and back below deck.

"Jack, is something...mmmmmm...." her words ended in a moan as he pushed her against the nearest wall, kissing her hotly. His lips moved form her mouth to her neck.

"Too long.. been too long... " he got out between hot kisses and licks to her neck. Sierra moaned as he ran his tongue over her half exposed breasts above the bodice of her dress.

"Jack..oh yess..." she sighed. Oh god, she ached for him to touch her. And touch her he did. His hand wandered up the skirt of her dress, finding the heat of her quickly. Fingers slid into her and a thumb began rubbing at her clit . Sierra's legs went weak and it was a good thing he was holding onto her.

"Oh god, you're so wet, luv.. need me so bad..." Jack whispered as his mouth found hers again.


Sierra could only whimper and moan as his fingers worked her into a frenzy. She did need him bad. She reached down between them and stroked him through his breeches. Jack let out a low hiss and nipped at her neck.

"Got..to.. have..you..." he got out as he worked quickly to untie his breeches and expose his love starved cock.


He pulled up her skirt and was thankful she was minus panties. He had no patience right now for such things. He pulled one of her legs up around his waist and thrusted up into her, burying his cock deep within her welcoming depths.

"Oh god, yesss... "she moaned as he took her hard. She needed him so bad. Oh god he felt so good.

Jack thrusted hard into her, his hips grinding. He couldn't get enough.

"Can any one else make you feel like this?" he asked her heatedly, nipping at her neck again.

"N-no, Jack..only you, my love... " she got out between loud moans.

Jack lost control and pounded her hard. Sierra was so close, they both were. Jack found her mouth with his again and kissed her passionately as his cock thrust its deepest yet. A hot wave of pleasure fell over both of them as they came together. When they finally stopped, they leaned against the wall, holding each other up and catching their breaths. Suddenly, they heard someone yelling about another ship, not far from the Pearl. Bugger! They both straightened their clothes and headed up on deck to see what the matter was.


Captain Andrews could not believe his luck. It was true, that Jack Sparrow and his pirate slut had escaped Port Royal, yet here was the Black Pearl and they were aboard her. He shouted orders for his men to open fire on the ship.

"Make ready to open fire!" Jack shouted as he saw the ship almost at their side. "OPEN FIRE!"

Both ships opened fire and the battle was on! Jack and his crew fired at the Dagger over and over, overtaking the smaller ship. Andrews saw the danger from the bigger ship and prepared to surrender and sail away but to no avail. Several of the Pearl's shots hit the Dagger in a vital area and it was all over. As she began to sink, the crew did what they could to save themselves. Looked like the Dutchman would have some souls to ferry tonight.

Cheers went up and Jack pulled Sierra to him for a sweet victory kiss. Revenge was sweet. Those buggers wouldn't ever put their hands upon her again. Some of the crew boarded the sinking ship and took what they could, before going back across to the Pearl. They watched as she slowly sunk to the Locker. They broke out the rum and the celebration was on. They cheered, laughed, and looked over the plunder taken from the ship. Jack found a beautiful blue topaz necklace and put it around Sierra's neck. She smiled and kissed him.

They were still drinking and celebrating when suddenly the deck was overrun with rock crabs. They watched as the crabs slowly moved together and fused into the form of a woman. There stood Tia Dalma, otherwise known as Calypso.

"Calypso.. what do we owe this honor?" Jack smiled.

"Is da time of de new moon, Sierra....yer time as' run out!" the goddess said, with slight anger in her voice.

"My..my time? You intend to make me leave here?" Sierra was alarmed and ran to Jack, but Calypso moved between them.

"Yer time ere', was nod a perm'nent one. Jack knew dis! You did not beleive n' me, thought I waddan't real did you? How den', do you suppose you got ere', silly girl?" she laughed low.

" I know and am sorry. Instead of not believing in you, I should be thanking you. In my time, we are taught that beings such as yourself are not real, but I now know that you are real." Sierra said, looking down.

"Dat' does nod' change de fact dat' yer time is up! Tell me girl....de you love de' witty Jack Sparrow?" the goddess inquired.

"Yes, Calypso..I do. I love Jack as I have no other."

"Ah....but can ye trust im'?" Calypso smiled.

"With my life, goddess. I don't know where you are heading with this, but just know that NOTHING will keep me from Jack.. nothing. Not even you.." Sierra stood strong. Calypso saw her challenging posture and went to move to her, but Jack jumped between them. The goddess stood back and watched him.

"Ye mean t' challenge me, girl?"

"No, Calypso.. I would not be so bold. I only want to be with Jack, and will do what I must to stay with him."

The goddess nodded.

"I see. You truly do love witty Jack, can see dis' in yer eyes. And e' be lovin' you too. Just remember dis'...should ye ever betray Jack Sparra', ye shall suffer my wrath!" her eyes blazed.

"Betray Jack? I'd rather die at the gallows alone than betray Jack.." she retorted hotly.

"Den' go t' im' girl. Love im' as e' loves you. I will not stand in yer way." the goddess smiled. Sierra ran into Jack's arms as quickly as she could. Jack held her protectively as they kept thier eyes on the goddess.

The goddess then looked at Jack and addressed him, smiling.

"Jack Sparra....ye ave' done well. She belongs wit' you, just as I thought. She truly is a pirate, just like yerself'. Keep er' Jack, she be yers. To stay in dis' time wit' ye forever."


Jack smiled and tipped his hat to the goddess as she turned into a huge wave of water and returned to the sea. He kissed Sierra and the celebration continued. She was his.

Chapter 14

Glory had found it's way onto the Pearl again, settling in each wet plank, and landing across the sails in a hopeful fashion. The prior afternoon's events had jolted everyone, some more than others, and still left Jack and Sierra to wonder at the decision made by Calypso. Wonder of course, in a celebratory light. Standing with his knuckles twinged at the spokes of the wheel and his heart pressed out at sea, Jack's gaze fell across the lower deck, scanning the contents of such at the rail. Sierra. Pain had altered her smile, bringing a frown to the delicate corners of her mouth, and bringing his mind to aimlessly dive into an ocean of curiosity. He wasn't sure of the reason behind such, but without a single breath of doubt in his body, he was certain he would soon learn.

Sierra frowned as she thought about the events taking place while they had been captive. She knew she should be happy, should be celebrating. Should be up there at the helm with Jack, standing behind him as he steered the Pearl. Still, those thoughts wouldn't leave her mind. She couldn't put away the disturbing thoughts that had been brought on by the rough treatment and assault she had received at their hands. Sure, they'd all been killed for their stupidity in doing so. Jack saw to that as did she. Those thoughts made her mind drift back to before she came here and how she'd been treated just as bad, or worse. At that moment, she would have given anything to have gotten revenge on that bastard. Revenge for his treatment of her, and to stop him from ever hurting another woman in the ways he had hurt her. She let out a frustrated sigh and walked across deck. Jack saw her approaching and handed over to the wheel to Cotton. Time to go see what was bothering her. He stood in front of her as she was walking and she stopped and looked at him. Jack could see the pain in her eyes. He hadn't seen that pain in quite awhile, since she'd been in his arms, but it was obvious it had returned.


"Please, Jack.. I-I need to be alone for awhile..." she said as he moved to pull her to him.

Jack said nothing. Perhaps she did need to be alone and sort out her thoughts before she could talk to him about what was bothering her. Still, it pained him that she seemed to not want him to even hold her or comfort her. He watched her go. Sierra held back a sob at the hurt look on his face. She knew he only wanted to help her. Only wanted to comfort and love her. Why was she pushing him away? She went down below deck where she was not visible to anyone and sat down, still trying to hold back the tears that were sure to eventually come. Suddenly, pain and fury rose up in her and she let out a high pitched scream and began throwing anything and everything she could get her hands on. Luckily, she hadn't thrown any glass to hurt herself with. As she threw the items, she screamed and cursed Rob for everything he was worth. It was a good thing he wasn't there, for she would likely have killed him on the spot. Her fury rose higher and higher until she wasn't sure she would ever be able to calm down.

Jack heard Sierra's high pitched scream of fury and hurried below deck to find her. He walked further back, and a piece of wood went whizzing by, and he ducked put the way. By the time he found her, Sierra was standing there, her fists clenched at her sides, her face a complete mask of fury and hate. She was still cursing Rob, still screaming, as she tore at her hair..

"I hate him! HATE HIM.. HATE HIM!!!!!" she screamed over and over until she could scream no more and her voice was a mere whisper and her knees gave away. She crumpled slowly to the floor, and into a fetal position, still whispering her hatred of him.


Jack could only stand there in the shadows and watch her, pain tearing at his heart. As she began to calm, he went to her and sat on the floor, and reached out tentatively to touch her shoulder. She gasped and turned her head to see him. Jack. She turned over and allowed him to pick her up and gently pull her into his lap, pressing her head to his chest and wrapping her in his strong, protective arms. Jack. The one who loved her. Sierra cried silently, wetting his chest with her tears. He didn't mind, nor did he say anything. He just silently held her tightly and kissed the top of her head. Sierra could feel his heart beating against her cheek and the sound of it calmed her even more. Her breathing slowed down to more regular pace and she relaxed. All this time, Jack kept silent, not quite knowing what to say to her. He just held her, was there for her. He sat there for a long while,with her in his arms, not caring that they were on the floor. He wasn't moving until she was ready.

"I hate him, Jack... I hate him so much, " She finally said in a quiet voice.

"I know that ye do, luv.. I don't doubt that. Somehow I knew that those sailors' treatment of you would bring back those painful memories I've tried so hard to keep from surfacing." He sighed.

"Not your fault, Jack. You didn't hurt me. You never have. Its something I have to live with." she said, in a shaky voice.

"I don't like seeing you in pain, darling. Do you not know that it hurts me to see ye this way? I was a bit confused when you rejected me up on deck a while ago." he whispered, kissing her forehead.

" I know Jack, and I am sorry. It actually hurt me to do that. I only did it becuase I knew what was going to happen and I didn't want you to bear the brunt of it. That's why I wanted to be alone for a bit. I didn't want you to see me this way. " she began to cry again softly.

"Shh, luv, its ok. I am glad you love me enough to not want to cause me pain. But you should also know that I am here for you..." another kiss to the top of her head.

"I want to kill him, Jack.." she lifted her head from his chest and looked at him with all seriousness, " I want to get revenge for what he did to me and prevent him from ever putting another woman through the same ordeal."

"But in order to do that, you'd have to leave this time, Sierra. You well know the consequences of that."

"I do, Jack, and you well know I'd rather die than leave you. There's got to be a way, Jack. There just has to. Only then will I be truly free from him."

" There may be a way, luv. But we'd have to summon Calypso, and it would depend on her mood as to whether she'd help you or not. "

"Do you think she would, Jack? If I left it up to her as to how it happened?"

" S'not for me to say, darling. She is the sea goddess, very unpredictable. All we can do is try."

"Then try we shall...." Sierra said with a determined tone to her voice.

THis worried Jack. It was hardly, if ever that Calypso would not demand payment for her help. However, he wanted Sierra to have the revenge she felt she needed. They'd wait until nightfall, and then summon her.


That night..

Sierra decided to take on the night watch with Jack. She wanted to be close to him. It had grown quiet aboard the Pearl, as most of the crew had went down below deck to sleep. It had been exhausting day for her. She rubbed her forehead tiredly, but was determined to stay with Jack. It was placid out on the open sea, and Jack figured that now was as good a time as ever to summon Calypso. He pulled Sierra to him and gently kissed her.

"Time to call upon Calypso, luv. You should do the honors."

"But, how..Jack? I've never summoned a goddess before... I am not sure what to say, " she replied, surprised.

"Its how you say it, luv. Just be humble and call her. If she is so inclined, she will come."

"Ok... whatever you say, Jack.." Sierra was still uncertain, but she'd give it her best shot.

SHe looked out over the calm, placid sea and called to the goddess.

"Calypso! I, Sierra BLake, your humble servant, request your presence! " She called out loudly over the sound of the waves. Jack had to smile at her determination and the way she called to her.

Sierra saw nothing at first, nor did she hear anything. She actually figured Calypso was not in the mood to answer her. Suddenly, she saw the waves take on the appearance of a woman's face. Calypso!

" Sierra, why have you summoned me?" the goddess inquired.

" I seek revenge, Calypso, and you are the only one who can help me, so it seems. You know what happened to me and how you helped me by bringing me here. However, that does not erase memories of abuse. My love for Jack and his for me holds them at bay, but there's only one way to be truly free of him. I want to kill him, goddess. I don't want to leave Jack and go back to my time to do it, however. You should know I'd rather die than leave Jack. I want him to never be able to treat another woman the way he treated me. He's an animal! Help me. I beg of you."

"Revenge, you say? I understand your turmoil, girl. Jack has helped you to love and trust again, but you are right. Memories cannot be erased and I sense you feel you may hurt Jack in the process of dealing with them. There is a way. I will handle the cretin for you. He'll die a horrible death at my hands." Calypso grinned evilly.

"But how?" He's in the future.."

"Do you doubt me, girl? "the goddess laughed low," I am a goddess, Sierra. Just as real here as in the future. Just becuase humans are taught not to beleive in us does not mean we do not exist."

"Right.. forgive me.." Sierra looked down.

Calypso smiled. "As I said, I will take care of the beast for you. However, I sense this feeling you have of wanting to do it yourself, will hinder your satisfaction. SO take this special cistern and this jug of water and when I call to you, pour the water into the cistern. The water has a spell on it that will allow you to see into the future just this once and see what transpires between the cretin and myself. After that the cistern will disappear. " Calypso said as the cistern and jug of water appeared at Sierra's side. The cistern was tall enough that they could stand and look down into it.

"And what will your payment be, goddess? I know you shall expect it..." Sierra inquired.

" Payment shall be the destruction of a beastly man who deserves death!" the goddess laughed, " Stand here on deck and wait for my call. It shall be soon." Her face disappeared.

Sierra smiled and Jack looked a little scared.

"What's wrong, Jack? " she asked, winking at him.

"Just reminding meself never to hurt ye or make you as angry with me as ye are with him. One woman scorned is bad enough, two..I don't want to even think about!"

Sierra laughed. "Jack, I'd never do that to you, you should know that.." She leaned up and kissed him. A slow, sweet kiss. For an instant, she lost herself in it and in him. Jack held her close and deepened the kiss. When it finally broke, he saw that some of the fury in her eyes was gone.

A little while passed by, and Sierra heard Calypso's call to her among the sounds of the waves. She poured the water into the cistern and watched it swirl. JAck pulled her protectively into his arms as they looked down into it. Clearly and vividly they could see the cliff over looking the ocean where he was at that moment. Calypso was in the form of a beautiful, blonde bombshell, scantily clad at most. She seemed to be at this moment, sweet talking him. Then they saw him try touching her in a way that was not pleasing to her and watched the goddess slap him. Sierra gasped and Jack winced. and of course knowing him, Sierra could anticipate what he'd do next. He did, the fool. He advanced upon her again, trying to pull her down and restrain her. It was at that time, that Calypso grew to twice her height and advanced toward him, fire in her eyes and evil on her face. Gone was the bombshell and it her place was an angry goddess. She drove him back further and further to the edge of the cliff, then opened her mouth wide. A strong gust of wind hurled at the man, forcing him off the cliff and into the sea below. The fall itself did not kill him, however, the hungry school of sea piranha lurking below was not so merciful. All that was left of him were pieces of bone. Calypso laughed loudly and disappeared. The cistern disappeared.

Sierra stood there for a moment, not believing at first what she'd just witnessed. He was gone. Her tormentor, the one who'd hurt her was gone. When it finally hit her, she cried tears of relief in Jack's arms and that was how Calypso found them when she returned to them.

"He's gone, luv.. can't hurt you or anyone else any more..." Jack was whispering to calm her.

Sierra dried her tears and fell to her knees before the goddess standing on the deck of the Pearl.

"Thank you, Calypso, for showing him no mercy.." she bowed her head.

The goddess nodded and Sierra stood up.

" You are truly free now, Sierra." And with that, she once again turned into a huge wave of water and went back to the sea.

Chapter 15

Sierra was feeling good. She felt like she was truly free now to be with Jack and love him. Jack. He'd been there for her so much. She owed everything her life had become to him. She watched him closely, waves of desire washing over her every time their eyes would meet. She'd throw teasing glances at him, her eyes telling him what she wanted. She 'd make sure that every time she walked by him, she had to touch him in some way. His hand, his hair, his shoulder, a light rub across his chest as she talked to him. She wanted to drag him off to his cabin and have her way with him then and there, but she knew he was busy. Jack didn't miss the messages her body and eyes were sending to him. He wanted her just as bad. Teasing him, she was. Going out of her way to touch him, the heated glances she tossed at him every chance she got. The way she spoke to him in a husky, low voice. It was driving him crazy. They went on about their work, each watching the other as often as possible. He'd give her a teasing wink. She'd sexily lean up against the ship's rail and blow him a kiss. The tension and desire between them was building at an alarming rate.

Later that evening as it was getting dark, things were starting to wind down on the Pearl. Most of the crew had gone below deck and to their hammocks. Sierra was standing with Jack at the rail, looking out at the sea. Then she heard it. One of the crew apparently had felt the need for some music and was playing a soft, slow melody on a guitar. Sierra listened and smiled and turned to Jack.

"Do you dance, darling?" she asked in that husky voice.

"Aye, I've been known to on occasion..." Jack answered her.

"Then dance with me Jack, please.." she whispered.

Jack did not need asking twice. He pulled her into his arms and they began to dance slowly in the moonlight. Sierra stifled a moan at being pressed so close to him. She couldn't resist a soft kiss to his partially bared chest. Then that soft, low moan escaped her lips.

"Something wrong, darling?" Jack asked ,softly.

"No, Jack, everything is fine.." she gave him a seductive smile.. " mmmm..Jack Sparrow you are just too hot, you know that?"

"Hot? I take it that's a compliment, luv..." he grinned as they continued dancing.

"You bet it is... "she sighed.." My god I love touching you.." She whispered hotly in his ear as her hand stroked down his chest and back up several times. Jack's breath caught.

" Ye do, eh?" he got out.

"I do indeed. Touching your beautiful chest.. " She ran her hand down it again, as she continued to whisper ever so hotly in his ear. " Touching your hair... "she ran her fingers over his dreds.. " touching your face..." she stroked his cheek and he closed his eyes and groaned softly. "Touching your gorgeous ass..." as her hand ran down his back to lightly grab and squeeze him there. He'd start panting next, she thought. "But do you know what I like to touch most, Jack? "she whispered hotly...

"W-what's that, luv, " he managed to get out. She was driving him insane!

"This, Jack.." she whispered as she stroked him through his breeches.."Your beautiful, luscious cock, darling..." Jack hissed and then panted. She moaned softly as she stroked her hand over him with more pressure.

Jack was going crazy. Her hot words and her hands on him sent blood coursing below his waist. He'd show her just what the consequences were for teasing him so splendidly! His face took on a look of seriousness and next thing Sierra knew, he'd thrown her over his shoulder. She let out a surprised shriek. Jack wasted no time in making his way to his cabin, carrying her over his shoulder. Sierra suddenly got a bit nervous. She'd gone too far with her teasing of him, apparently. He fumbled with the door and hurried inside, kicking it shut behind him and locking it. He sat Sierra on her feet and began to strip her quickly. She bit her lip as his hands brushed over her body. Then, he picked her up and plunked her on the bed. Sierra looked at him as he pulled down two silk scarves form the headboard and fastened her wrists there with each of them. Sierra wasn't used to this kind of thing and Jack could see she was slightly uncomfortable. No matter. Her mind would soon be on something other than being bound. She watched him with a mixture of nervousness and lust as he stripped off his own clothes, then moved onto the bed, straddling her. He looked down at her sensually.

"That was a lovely dance, darling... you had me at your mercy.." he said, ever so seductively.

Sierra could only whimper.

"But now the tables are turned, luv. Do you know what I do to beautiful women who tease me like that?" He asked in a low growl.

"W-what's that, Jack? " she asked, trying to hide her nervousness.

"It is my intention, darling.. to torture you relentlessly, until you beg for me to take you and make you come until you're exhausted...sweet torture, I like to call it" he said in a teasing voice.

Sierra moaned. Dear god she was in for it. She looked up at him, at his beautiful, naked body as he straddled her. She wanted to touch him. Not being able to was torture in itself.

Jack leaned down on her, his tongue licking lightly over her lips. He did it again and again, but never kissing her.

"You like that, don't you luv? You like it when I lick at your lips and tease them before I kiss you, don't you..." he whispered as he did it again.

"Oh yes, Jack..mmm.. please..kiss me...want it so much.." she moaned.

"Ye do, eh? Well, why don't you just tell me how badly you want me to kiss you..." Another lick over her lips.

"I want your kiss Jack. I need it... Want to feel that hot tongue in my mouth, teasing it. Want to savor it, Jack.. please..." she moaned.

Jack chuckled softly and ever so slowly lowered his mouth to hers and kissed her sensuously, his tongue teasing the inside of her mouth and swirling over her tongue. Sierra moaned and squirmed at the feel of him against her. She kissed him back just as hotly, savoring every bit of it. Jack broke the kiss and moved to her neck, giving it a small kiss and a tiny bite, making her gasp. His mouth traced along her collarbone and down to her breasts, where he lightly licked at each nipple. She let out a moan and arched against him.

"You have beautiful breasts, darling. I love running my tongue over them and sucking your nipples and making them harden for me. Do you want me to suck them, Sierra? I know you love it, darling. You love it when I do that, don't you."

"Yes.. oh god Jack please... suck them.. I need it so much. Want you to so bad..." SHe arched into him again.

Jack wasted no time in running his tongue over her breasts, deliberately neglecting her nipples until she moaned and begged him again. He then suckled each one, making them hard and sensitive. He then pushed her breasts together so he could flick his tongue over one nipple and then the other, his eyes giving her a sultry look. Sierra was being driven insane indeed. THis was too much.

"Shall I taste your body, darling? Taste every inch of you? Run my tongue all over you and kiss you everywhere? Tell me, luv, I want to hear how much you want it..." He teased her with both his words and his eyes.

Sierra moaned. She wasn't even sure she could speak... "Please Jack..oh god... I c-can't...mmmmm.. want your hands, your mouth and your tongue..all over me..."

Jack smiled and worked his way down her body, kissing and licking every bit of skin his mouth came in contact with. Down her torso his mouth traveled, bringing her to the point of near insanity. He kissed her belly, and below her belly button. Her hips, her thighs... deliberately skipping the part of her that he knew she wanted his mouth on the most. He lay there between her legs, looking up at her, his eyes teasing. He then ran a single finger down her slit, making her hips jerk up and a whimper come from her lips.

" You're so wet, luv. Ye want me pretty bad right now, do ye not?"

Sierra could only bite her lip and nod. Jack's finger began to play at her clit, rubbing hard, then softly, then hard again. Sierra nearly screamed.

"Feels good, doesn't it? Want me to lick...right.. there?" he rubbed hard then.

"Please Jack, oh god... you're driving me to near insanity! " she nearly screamed.

Jack's mouth decended upon her throbbing core, his tongue slowly working up and down as he watched her face. His tongue stabbed at her clit repeatedly,sending her into near oblivion. But he wouldn't let her come. Not yet. Not until she begged him to take her. He stopped.

"J-jack...please,need you to...." was all she could get out.

"Need me to what, darling?" he chuckled.

"Take me, please....Jack..need you inside me. Want your beautiful, hard cock throbbing inside me, filling me up. Need you so bad darling...." She cried out.

Jack smiled and moved to his knees between her legs. He raised her hips and slowly eased the tip of his now throbbing cock into her and then quickly back out. Sierra moaned and squrimed.

"Want me to fuck you, luv? Tell me..."

"Please Jack, oh god yes.. fuck me! Fuck me until I come for you...please, my love..." she moaned. She wasn't sure how much more of this she could take.

Jack thrust forcefully into her , making both of them moan. He'd held himself back long enough. His thrusts were slow and hard at first, building Sierra and himself up to explode. Her hips met his with each one, as his hips ground hard against her. Oh, god she was so tight. So hot and wet for him. He couldn't get enough. He increased his speed, for both of them were within reach of ecstasy, splendidly within reach. He could feel Sierra's body tensing. preparing to climax.

"Aye, that's it..come hard for me, my love, let it all go..I want to hear it..." he softly commanded her.

Sierra screamed as her body shattered, coming hard for him. She cried out over and over as her body spasmed and shook with unbelievable pleasure. Jack soon followed, gutteral moans escaping his lips as he came hard, shuddering against her. Thier mouths met in a passionate, fiery kiss as the waves of pleasure consumed them. When the last spasm was over, Jack gently moved from her and untied her wrists, moving her exhausted body, so her head was on his chest. Sierra couldn't move.. couldn't speak. But she didn't have to. Jack knew. Knew she loved him.


Epilogue:

No one in the present time ever knew what happened to Sierra Blake. They never found her body. To this day it remains a mystery. Some say Rob killed her and dumped her in the sea. No one knows, because he is gone too.

Sierra smiled as she stood by Jack's side at the helm. She intended to stay there with him, for as long as forever lasted.
