Captain Lela smiled with devious delight,
strolled over to Jack, her prey, who was now helplessly in her clutches, and
stood dangerously close to him, just not quite touching. His head fell forward
trying to see this woman�s face, his eyes growing wider and wider, filling with
fear and disbelief.

Lela lifted her head, and expertly placed her
lips right next to Jack�s ear. She dreamily and seductively purred, �Well if it
isn�t my dearest Jack Sparrow?� Her sharp brilliant blue eyes met the deep
brown ones of Jack Sparrow. He shakily drew in a breath, and she was obviously
delighted with his terrified, unbelieving reaction. Her lips curved out into a
wicked smirk and sharp feline teeth drew dangerously close to Jack�s neck as
she thickly breathed, �Hello love. Long time no see...�

~�~,~�{@ * ~�~,~�{@ * ~�~,~�{@ * ~�~,~�{@ * ~�~,~�{@

Jack couldn�t do anything. He couldn�t move. He
couldn�t breathe. He couldn�t feel his legs. The only thing he could do was
stand there, mouth open, trying to say something, and trying to
not fall over. �L...Lela?� From a side view, one could have seen the dark
haired woman�s smirk grow even wider. �H...How? When did ye...I
thought...What...� Lela lifted her head away from the side of his neck and
stared straight into his eyes.

�Oh dear,� she cooed sympathetically, and then
shouted, �someone! Call a doctor! Jack Sparrow...doesn�t know what to
say. How very odd.� Jack stumbled back a few paces, his face growing
paler with every passing second, as though he was seeing a ghost.

Chuckling softly, Lela walked past him and
walked on deck of the Siren Fire. �Conleth!� she called. �Take the Pearl�s crew and put them
in the brig. Same goes for La Diabla Liza�s crew. Separate our men--and
women--onto all four ships so they can be steered.� The woman�s first mate
yelled back something that was unintelligible to Jack. Lela called back one
more time and then walked back into the cabin, closing the door.

�Wh...whe...� Jack took a breath to regain his
composure. �Where are we going?� Lela smiled and almost glared at him. She
sauntered over to him, like a lioness circling her quarry.

�Oh, I dunno,� she silkily replied. �Just a
lit�ul place called...� Lela delicately held up Jack�s compass, her expression
growing more pleased as Jack spun around, looking through his pockets and
effects, and she finished her sentence, �Isla de Muerta.�

Poor Jack looked as he was going through a
state of d� ja vous and couldn�t figure out where he was. �How did ye get that?
That was tied on...on the inside of me...the inside of...� Jack�s eyes snapped
wide open and stared at Lela, who just kept smiling deviously and running her
fingers over the blade of her dagger. Jack narrowed his eyes as he said,
�You...sneaky lit�ul she-devil...�

~�~,~�{@ * ~�~,~�{@ * ~�~,~�{@ * ~�~,~�{@ * ~�~,~�{@

Little less than an hour later, four ships were
traversing across the ocean to the Isla de Muerta, the secret cache of treasure
and loot for whatever pirate that was lucky enough to get his hands on that
compass and know how to use it. And at the moment a woman held it, a female
pirate who had just captured the infamous Black Pearl and its equally legendary,
if not more so, Captain Jack Sparrow.

The Black Pearl, La Diabla Liza, the Gremlin
Flame, and the Siren Fire sailed close to each other; each of the ships were
steered and crewed by those under the command of Captain Lela. Conleth steered
the Siren Fire, which was leading the quartet of ships. He was the only one
that Lela trusted the compass with. Occasionally, he called out to Caitlin, Brittany,
and Chelsea, who were steering the other ships, to give them updates on where
they were going and to provide a heads-up for when they were going to make
sudden directional changes.

Every now and then, Conleth would glance back
behind him at the closed door that led to his captain�s room. She was alone in
there with Jack Sparrow. She hadn�t told him much, but he knew that she and
Jack had had a rather painful past. He never pressed her about it, though,
despite his fierce curiosity. Conleth�s brow furrowed with wonder. What could
they be doing in there?

Inside the captain�s quarters, Lela was opening
the boxes of things that had been collected from La Diabla Liza. A bit earlier
she had told Jack to sit down and �make himself comfortable� but he was allowed
to only after she removed every weapon from his person: his cutlass, his
pistol, his sword, even a small grenado that was hidden in his shirt.

After being permitted to sit, Jack tried to get
his head together while his captor searched the loot, occasionally holding up a
piece of jewellery that she liked. She wasn�t looking at him. Why wasn�t she
looking at him? Wait...do I want her to be looking at me?

Jack looked up and turned slightly to stare in
Lela�s direction. Her back was turned to him, and mostly what he could see was
her knee high boots, the bottom of her close-fitting breeches, and her long
dark hair sweeping over her back. It�s grown really long, he thought
staring at it thoughtfully; it�s gone past her waist and down to her knees
almost. Jack expression softened as his eyes gazed at the girl he had known
from so long ago. No, not a girl. She�s a woman. Jack�s vision began to
cloud. But she�s still as fair a thing as I remember her.

Then it was as though someone had slapped him
in the face, and he pushed those thoughts away. He hung his head while his arms
pressed to his legs and his hands latched together in front of him. I can�t
afford to be thinking things like that when she�s captured me. Jack
raised his head slightly and stared suspiciously at her. I wonder why she
did... Jack�s head lifted more at the sharp click of a box shutting. As
Lela turned around, Jack made sure to avert his eyes and look extremely calm
and collected.

Across the room, Lela smiled knowingly. The
whole while she�d been sifting through the treasure, she had felt his eyes on
her. Poor Jack, she amusedly thought, I bet he�s trying to figure out
why he�s here. She knew she was right. She knew him better than anyone.
Lela frowned and turned back around towards her desk. I do know him
better than anyone, but...

She cautiously glanced over her shoulder to
look at Jack. I can�t afford to think about him like that. She
looked back at the table in front of her. He�s my prisoner and I have to
treat him as such. I can�t care for him like I used to. Lela
squeezed her eyes shut against the tears that threatened to trickle forth. But
I DO still care for him. I still... She opened her eyes again and
straightened her posture. I still... Her bottom lip trembled ever so
slightly. I still l...lo...

�So what are you planning to do exactly once we
reach Isla de Muerta...� Jack paused to emphasise his sarcasm, �Captain?�
Lela�s head turned sharply sending long black tresses flying out, back, and
around. Jack smiled with exaggerated amiability. The captain�s reaction
only entailed rolling eyes and an aggravated grunt. �Well?� Jack persisted, who
was also beginning to feel perturbed.

�If you must know...� she started...then
paused...and didn�t say anything more.

�I must,� Jack affirmed. Another irritated
sigh.

�...I�m going to take everything there,� she
saw that Jack was going to interject a callous remark and added quickly, �using
all four of these ships to carry ev�eyfthing, sell what I don�t want, and keep
what I do want. Good for you?�

Jack kept a straight face, looking very casual
and replied, �No. No, not really, luv.� Lela flinched at the pet name, but
smoothly recovered and walked to where Jack was sitting.

�Oh,� she said sadly, letting the sound flow
slowly. Then finished brightly with, �Too bad!� For several moments, the two
infamous pirates stared at each other, contempt filling their faces, but each
noticed that something else was hidden behind the ill feeling...something in
the eyes. They almost simultaneously turned from each other. �Just deal wiv it,
Captain Sparrow...� Lela coldly smiled. �Savvy?� she asked mockingly.

�Hold on there!� Jack exclaimed loudly. �That�s
my word, you�re not allowed to use it!� Lela scoffed.

�Your word? What makes you think it�s your word,
I came up wiv it first!�

�Ye did not, ye silly girl, I came
up wiv it first!�

�Oh-ho-ho-hooo no, Sparrow, we are not going to
have this argument again.�

�Whaddya mean �again�?� Jack asked bemused.

�We�ve been fighting who came up with that word
first since we was lit�ul and back in Sleego!!�

Jack noticed Lela�s eyes grow wider and her
mouth clamp shut, as though she had just made a terrible mistake mentioning
their past. Well, Jack was not about to let her get away with it. Jack was
still upset that Lela had used his word, but there were a few things that were
more important than a word�s origin that he needed to know.

�Look, Lela,� he stated heatedly, standing up
to look at here face to face. �I dunno why ye�ve kidnapped me and moi crew, but
I somehow doubt that it�s jest because of that compass and Isla
de Muerta.�

Lela face filled with icy defiance, but her
eyes gave her away: she was frightened of her telling Jack her true motives.
Jack could see it. He knew it. He knew her better than anyone. Aagh!
Stop thinking like that, idiot!! He waited for an answer, but Lela stood
before him unflinchingly, audacious insolence swelling in her eyes. Sorry,
luv, ye�re not gonna get off that easy.

Jack stepped a pace closer staring down at Lela
with intense bronze eyes. Lela looked right back at him but she leaned back
away from him just a hair. Jack�s eyes bored into her as he asked, �Why did ye
go to so much trouble to find me, Lela?�

She felt as though her heart had stopped and
her mind was reeling out of control. He had asked her the very question she had
prayed that he would never ask.

She couldn�t lie to him. He�d know and just
believe the opposite of whatever she told him. Damn.

She couldn�t just stay silent because then he
would know exactly what she was thinking and confirm his beliefs. Damn.

But she couldn�t very well tell him the truth
either. That was out of the question. Damn.

So what was she supposed to do? Whatever she
did, she would inevitably lose and Jack would know. DAMN.

When he was just about to ask again, an idea
came to her. �I wanted to find you so I could make you miserable.�

Jack�s head tilted to the side. He was so sure
that he�d been right about her reasons for finding him. He had thought that...
Jack felt his stomach knot. He had thought that she still cared for him. And
she wanted to find him so she could win him back. �So ye could...make me
miserable,� Jack echoed faintly.

Lela inclined her head. It hadn�t been the
truth...well, not the whole truth. The whole truth was that she wanted to find
him so she could make him miserable, but mostly to see if he still... Lela
suppressed a quivering sigh. I wanted to know if he still cares for
me. Quickly, she gave herself a hard mental shake. That wasn�t important.
Not right now. Anyway, her answer seemed to have distracted him from his query.
Jack stepped just ever so slightly closer. �But...why?� Or maybe it hadn�t.
�Why do you want to make me miserable?� Lela turned her head to the side, not
able to bare looking at him, looking into his eyes that had suggested
understanding and even...affection?

�Why does it matter?� she countered, her voice
pained and distant.

�Why don�t you want to talk about the past?�
Jack quietly argued. Even with her face turned away to the side, Jack would see
her clench her teeth and her lips quiver. He lifted his right hand and, placing
his forefinger on her cheek, gently turned her head back to face him. She tried
to shake his hand off and back away from him, but he caught her chin between
the side of his finger and the tip of his thumb, securing her head in place and
making her eyes meet his own. She looked as though she might burst into tears
but she stayed strong.

Jack leaned forward, leaving almost no distance
between them. �The past isn�t going to go away, luv. We�re gonna hafta talk
about it sometime.� Talk about how you betrayed me, Jack thought
with wounded pride. Talk about how I offered you ev�eyfthing in the world
you wanted: a ship, riches, adventure... Jack reached up with his free hand
and gripped Lela�s shoulder. ME. Lela�s lips trembled more despite her
efforts to still them, and for once in her life she couldn�t convey what Jack
was thinking. Jack�s grip tightened. I gave myself to you. My heart. Something
I�d never give to anyone or anything other than the sea. But I gave it to you. One
last time, Jack asked the girl he held so dear the question she so deeply feared.
�Why did you want to find me, Lela?�
