- Chapter Nine -
Raven and Malone had already headed out of Jack's cabin not that they were going to go far since Jack had stated that he would be joining them. Jack had decided to put some good use of Robert's presence had asked the lad to help out Branigan the ships cook. Jack was about to leave the cabin himself to join the others when Gibbs put his hand on his shoulder, making him stop in his steps. He frowned at his first mate.
"What ye playing at Jack?" the gruff male questioned his captain.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you've gone after legendary treasure before. Ye know how it ended." Stated Gibbs, thinking of the situation with Barbossa.
"It's different this time." Jack replied, his shoulders coming up into a shrug.
"Because it's involvin' a woman. Am I right?" Gibbs smirked at him. Jack was something if not a little predictable.
Jack didn't respond. He wasn't about to give Gibbs the satisfaction of being right. Jack just walked out of his cabin leaving Gibbs by himself, and went to catch up with Raven.

"So what did 'appen to ye then?" Queried Raven. She and Malone were waiting on the dock for Jack. Raven wasn't the most patient of people, so she used the opportunity to put her mind off the wait by finding out what had happened the previous night.
"I got jumped at the docks when I was searching for McNally. Didn't even see it comin'." Malone stared at the floor shamefully avoiding her more than likely unpleased look.
"Well considering Willoughby commandeered me ship, must have been him." Replied Raven, as she rubbed two fingers against her temple. She still had a sore head, but she knew it was more related to the amount of rum she had drunk the night before.
"Either him or McNally." Jack added as he joined them catching the end of their conversation. "Apparently this one 'ere, wandered his way onto me gangway."
Jack gestured towards Malone, who was still avoiding eye contact with Raven. Jack rolled his eyes, and motioned at Raven to make way.
Raven nodded, then with a determined look upon her face she lead Jack and Malone to the Faithful Bride. Where Willy had last been seen passed out on the floor.

"'ere ye go Robert, Lad. Ye can do this." Branigan passed a sack of potatoes over to Robert.
Branigan, Robert noted, was somewhere in his thirty's. He was dark in skin tone and his hair was a dirty blonde colour, he was obviously someone that had spent many years at sea.
Robert grabbed a knife and began scraping a potato without question. The knife wasn't particularly sharp but it did the job that it was required to do. Branigan watched the boy for a couple of moments, then continued clearing the mess which was the galley.
"So, boy, what brings ye aboard?" He queried.
Robert glanced up at him, and continued his chore.
"My Captain, brought me aboard." Branigan nodded slightly, then questioned the young boy again.
"Whose ye Captain?"
"Captain Raven." Branigan looked sharply at the boy briefly, before the look melted away. Robert noticed, but didn't bring any attention towards it.
"That wouldn't be the Black Raven, now would it boy?" It was Robert's turn to be surprised.
"Aye. I have heard her been called that before. Do you know her?"
"Could say that, Lad. But ye be too young for me to say why."
Robert frowned, then went back to his chores, wondering if Branigan had meant what he thought. By the surly grin on the older male, it was more than likely the case.

"Ye better tell me all."
Raven was angry, she slammed Willy hard into the wall. Jack and Malone stood and had watched the scene play out. So far Willy hadn't said anything, despite Raven's verbal threats against him. Jack had watched Raven go from quiet annoyance to the full blown rage that she had now.
"Willy, Willy, Willy. Ye know that when I'm not happy, I get violently angry."
To prove her point Raven withdrew her dagger. She trailed the sharp point along his jawline, before quickly slashing him, just slicing his jaw and drawing blood. Willy let out a whimper of pain.
"Take it easy, Luv." Jack advised in a warning tone.
Raven shot a quick glance at Jack, her eyes narrowed. Jack met her eyes for a second, but looked away, her eyes were full of hate. He couldn't tell if the hate was directed at him in particular or not.
Raven gave her attention back to Willy. She pointed the tip of the blade close to one of his eyes.
"Have I proved myself, or shall I give another demonstration?" She asked menacingly, shifting the blade down and pressing it's tip close to his ribs. She dug it in enough to draw blood once more, increasing the pressure and silently warning that she would use it fully on him.
Willy's self control broke down.
"I'll tell you. Please don't. I'll tell you." Tears began to form in his eyes.
Raven withdrew the dagger from his eye, but trailed it down his cheek. Jack noticed that it was about the same place as Raven's own scar.
"Okay Willy, please do tell."
"Bart wasn't the only one with the co-ordinates. His brother also knows." He stated, his voice understandably shaking.
Raven's expression changed, into a small look of surprise. She nodded and urged him to continue.
"He's currently residing in Port Royal. Goes by the name of Brown now." Jack frowned at the name. It sounded familiar. But then again Brown was a common name. "He used to run a blacksmith."
Raven fully let go of Willy, and he sighed a breath of relief. A tear shed from one eye and ran down his cheek.
"Thank you, Willy. But I'm afraid I'm not quite finished with ye." Willy looked horrified at the revelation. "It's not your immediate death. You're coming with us, I'm not letting ye give anyone else the opportunity."
Willy duly nodded, at least that way he got to keep his life.
"Malone, would ye please escort Willy 'ere to Jack's ship?" Raven stepped back from Willy, and gestured at him.
"Aye Captain."
Malone proceeded with his Captain's orders, he grabbed Willy by the elbow. Willy didn't resist and went with him.
A few moments passed in silence before Jack eventually spoke his mind. "Raven, I don't mind ye being on me ship. But I don't want ye taking over me charge."
Raven turned and faced him. She cocked her head to the side and studied his expression.
"Why's that Sparrow? Ye think I'm not competent enough cause I 'appen to be a woman? I'm probably more of a man than you,"
Jack rolled his eyes, he wasn't about to rise to this. She seemed to be still pretty wired from dealing with Willy, but he wasn't about to let her get it out of her system onto him.
"Nay, Lass. But I know you want to go to Port Royal. I can't really afford that, since the last time I was there they tried to hang me."
"So the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow, doesn't want to dirty his hands." She stated with a smug look/
Jack quickly reached his hand out and grabbed at her throat. He wasn't a violent man unless he needed to be. But from what he'd noticed about Raven, violence was pretty much a part of her life. This way was most likely way to get her to listen.
"Ye, listen 'ere Lass. I'll take ye to Port Royal, but I'm not going ashore. Which is a shame considering I know where this Brown's place is."
Raven was about retort back at Jack, but Jack strengthened his grip. Raven winced, but didn't make a sound. He felt her swallow, and he eased his grip slightly.
"Gibb's can go with you, but Malone and the boy stay on me ship." He stared directly into her eyes, giving her the authoritative edge that she hadn't had for a long time. "Now do we have an accord?"
Raven closed her eyes for a couple of seconds, and looked back at Jack. Her expression softer, meaning that she was back in control of her temper.
"Aye."
"That's good then." Jack released Raven carefully. Then drew his hand down for her to take and she shook it, sealing the agreement.
He watched her, feeling slightly guilty, as Raven raised a hand to her throat and rubbed it. He knew he had grabbed her harshly, but hadn't realised just how much. There was now a bright red mark, and if Jack wasn't mistaken he could see another scar.
"Let's get back to the ship." He stated. He smiled lightly at Raven. "If ye lucky I'll let ye share some of me rum."
Raven allowed herself a small smile, before nodding at Jack. The premise of rum was a quick way to get back into her affections.
"I'll drink ye under the table, Sparrow."
