••••chapter 12••••

Waking up to the warm sun rising felt amazing and having wake next to Jack was even better.

The fire was almost completely out

I propped myself up on my elbows looking around, not a soul in sight other then Jack and I

I turned on my side and faced Jack and started to gently rub his back. He let out a light groan. I couldn't help but chuckle as I placed small kisses on his bare shoulder

"Good morning captain" He turned around and faced me "good morning my love" as he got up he gave me a short kiss "you ready to take on the world today?" He extended his hand out for me to take "with you by my side? Absolutely I am" I took his hand helping myself up to my feet

Putting on my boots and Jack his hat I looked ahead and noticed a ship seemingly getting closer

"Jack turn around" I didn't take my eyes off the ship

"Love, I understand I have a gorgeous buttocks bu-"
I took ahold of his arm and turned him too look at the ship "oh" I raised a brow at him and chuckled "oh indeed, we need to get back on the black pearl"

Quickly making our way the black pearl the other ship was definitely headed our way

Back on the pearl
•••

Back on the pearl We all took notice it was an older looking ship but still looked slightly too elegant but it was coming our way And it didn't seem a threat but seemed it making our way calmly

We all just to be safe held our weapons close and stayed near our stations.

Jack sent one of his men to go over to the other ship to figure out what it was they wanted. Waiting around no longer then 20 minutes till they returned

"Captain! Captain!" The man spoke trying to calm his breath "hold yourself together mate! What is it?" Jack asked "the captain of the ship wants to negotiate" we all gave eachother looks of uncertainty but of course it came down to Jack to decide "and who might the captain of that ship be?" He asked. The man seemed hesitant "well go on spit it out" Jack pushed

"Says he's James. James Norrington" Jack froze up staring at seemingly nothing "Norrington you say" he seemed intrigued "well let's not leave the man waiting" he adjusted his hat and began walking ahead, me right behind him before he stopped in his place "now my love, I feel it best you stay here as I and hector see to it" I raised a brow unsure "return in on piece" is all I said. I pecked his cheek and they were off

An hour later
•••

Finally after an hour of what I hope a good negotiation Jack and my father returned as the other ship made its way closer to us

"Well what was it you men negotiated in an hour?" Jack gave a smirk "seems it was an old face from the past, Norrington he's still his classy looking self except he's more piratey looking, he definitely smells the part" I laughed wrapping my arms around him "enough on what he smelt like, what's the plan?" I gave a small chuckle

"he says he can help us find Jones" I nodded slowly letting him continue "says Jones has something of value to him and his crew and admitted he couldn't get it without our help" he continued "and to both me and your father it seems like a good deal so the deal was made, he helps us we help him" I leaned in for a quick kiss "well captain fasten that hat of your on tight cause we have a crab to catch"

Jacks POV:
•••

Maria and I made our way over to where the crew of that swine Norrington boarded my precious pearl. We found it right for his crew and mine to.. well  meet so they don't kill eachother while fighting on Jones ship we dread

Maria walked ahead of me giving me a good view of her she was gorgeous and everything I wanted in a woman. As soon as Norrington himself boarded my ship I wasn't the only one admiring Maria anymore

"Jack I wasn't aware another woman was aboard your ship" he didn't even look at me as he spoke but eyed my woman "keep your eyes in your skull before I take them out myself" she spoke up

Will and Elizabeth restrained a laugh

Norrington took a step back "feisty you are" he finally looked at me "yes well keep eyeing my woman  and I won't hold her back on doing what she threats" I chuckled making my way besides her wrapping my arm around her waist

"She's a barbossa don't think she won't" Hector spoke up "now you're telling me she's the spawn of you?" Shocked was he "you two really are full of surprises" he seemed caught off guard

I took a swing of my Rum bottle

"Welcome Norrington aboard the pearl"

Maria's POV:
•••

Jack, will, Elizabeth, Norrington, Gibbs, my father and I were in jacks quarters as we discussed amongst eachother a plan on how to get what we all wanted and still remain standing

The whole time Norrington eyed me like a dog eyes a bone and it was incredibly annoying. That man seemed like he was desperate for a woman's attention and he will be greatly disappointed to know I am not that woman

"Alright that's it then" Jack announced after what seemed forever of bickering "Master Gibbs if you will please tell the crew what they need to know" he nodded "Aye captain"

"Well then everyone seems like tomorrow we have a crab, or squid to take care of so get plenty of rest" Elizabeth had a point so we all did just that.

Jack and I laid in bed close together and he fell asleep quicker than I. I couldn't sleep for some odd reason so I thought I'd go out for a second to clear my head

I stood looking at the bright full moon taking small sips of rum to hopefully help me tire myself out a bit

I heard and felt a presence behind me so naturally I pulled my sword out and turned swiftly aiming my sword to whoever thought it smart to sneak up on a lady yet alone a pirate

"Woah there Barbossa lower your sword down will you princess" of course out of anyone it would be norrington to disturb me and my thought "careful who you sneak up on norrington unless you want to lose that face of yours" I put my sword on it's harness "this face of mine huh? You find it pretty do you princess?" I scoffed "far from" I remained looking ahead "now what was it that you want?" Clearing his throat he walked besides me

"Seems you aren't the only one who can't sleep, I find it looking at a pretty view helpful" I looked over at him meeting his eye "and I have to ask how you found yourself on this ship" I scoffed again "if I tell you will you leave me alone?" He chuckled "sure princess" I rolled my eyes looking back at the view
And I did, I gave him the short story on why I'm here and how I am Barbossas daughter surprising laughing softly from time to time. He was truly incredibly interested in what I had to say, had to give it to him he was a good listener

"You really are an interesting woman, Barbossa" i gave in a smirk "I'd like to think so" he chuckled "well I'll leave you to it princess, I hope perhaps one day you'll let me tell you my story" I looked over at him as he tipped his hat at me and made his way back to his sleeping place

I was intrigued but that would be pointless my place is right beside Jacks and I wouldn't have it any other way

I creeped back in to jacks room and wiggled my self next to Jack giving his back a kiss since it faced me.
