- Chapter Ten -
Jack and Raven had just got back to the Black Pearl. Jack had gone into his cabin, and had left Raven to tell Gibbs about the plan. He wasn't too sure whether he trusted her. But that wasn't going to stop him from going after the Jewel of Valyos. That meant that he had to tolerate anything that Raven threw at him.
Jack grabbed a bottle of rum and sat at his table. He pulled his feet up, and tilted back his chair slightly. A memory of his hand encircling Raven's neck came into his mind. Thinking back to it she didn't look scared at all. It was as if she had just accepted it, or maybe even expected it.
Pulling out the cork of his bottle, he took a long swig and closed his eyes.

"I don't like the idea myself. But that's what Sparrow wants." Raven told Gibbs, having explained that they were going to be doing a trip together in Port Royal.
Gibbs shook his head and made a small grunting sound, then looked at Raven again.
"Fine. But listen up here Lassie, I don't trust ye. I've heard a few tales about ye." Raven rolled her eyes.
"So my legendary tales precede me then. Ye know, most of 'em are made up. Same as Sparrow's are." Gibbs glared at Raven.
"So they may. But on this ship, ye should be referring to him as Captain. Since this is his ship an' all."
"No-one tells me what to do. Unless of course if there is a good bargaining measure." Gibbs huffed at this, then went about his way, leaving Raven looking very smug with herself.
Malone, who had been listening to the conversation at a distance, came up beside her. He didn't look at her, instead he looked out towards the deck of the ship.
"So ye found another man who doesn't like your charms."
"Shut up, Malone." Raven was clearly annoyed, she gave him a harsh look. "Perhaps when you were hit the other day, they knocked out your loyalty and respect for me."
"Sorry Captain, it's just, I don't know if I trust what's happening here. How do ye know if Captain Sparrow isn't going to double cross ye." Malone asked, his voice low.
"Just cause it 'appened once before, don't think for one minute that I'm gonna let me guard down." She replied pointedly. "Now where's Robert?"
"He's with the ships cook, in the galley."
Raven raised an eyebrow at him.
"Ye expected a cook to be anywhere else? Just as long as he's being useful." Raven remarked, while reaching up and adjusting her hat. "Right, I'm gonna speak with Sparrow."
"What about me?"
"Ye can keep an eye on 'im." Raven gestured at Willy, who was standing nearby looking out at the ocean.

Jack had his hat covering his eyes, he was currently fighting to keep awake. His balance wasn't perfect on the chair, and his grip on his rum was gradually getting looser.
There was a sudden loud banging on the door. Jack was taken with surprise and his snapped fully awake. His balance on his chair however was completely lost and it tipped backwards, crashing to the ground, him going along with it.
The door burst open as Raven rushed in. She stood there for a couple of seconds as she took in the scene before her.
There was Jack still in his chair as it lay on the ground, his legs in the air, his bottle of rum clenched tightly in his hand raised above him. She promptly burst into laughter.
"Thanks. Thanks a lot." Jack drawled as he pulled himself up. "Now what's the pleasure of you visiting me?"
Raven stopped laughing, a smile still playing on her lips.
"I just wanted to speak with you for a moment. But if you're busy, I can come back later." Her voice wasn't that still, she was trying not to laugh again.
"No, that's fine." Jack picked up the chair, then placed in back in it's rightful place. He gestured to a spot near the table. "Take a seat."
Raven nodded and sat down herself down, keeping her sights upon Jack. He made his way to his cabinet, and grabbed a few bottles of rum. He placed them on the table and gestured at Raven.
"'elp ye self."
Raven smirked at him and grabbed a bottle. She pulled the cork out with her teeth and spat it behind her. It didn't bother her that this was his cabin that she was messing up, nor did he seem to care. She took a mouthful and washed it about her mouth before swallowing it.
"Not bad, Sparrow."
"I only have the best." Jack smirked at her. She looked back at him. Once more he was plagued by the image of his hand around her neck. He shook his head.
"Raven." He looked at her seriously for a moment. "Look, I just want to apologise, about earlier. Didn't mean to hurt you."
Raven raised a hand, and waved it dismissively.
"No worries. I've 'ad a lot worse in my time."
Jack raised an eyebrow quizzically. He pondered about asking, but decided not to. If Raven wanted to say, she most probably would. However he didn't see her as the sharing type.
"Just thought I'd let ye know, that I've told Gibbs. He's not exactly what I expected. He's made his feelings about me quite clear."
"What do ye mean?"
"He doesn't trust me. Not that I blame 'im. Not many do. Except for me crew." Her eyes saddened for a moment. "Well me crew did."
"I'm sure ye could do it again." Jack idly responded.
"What about you?"
"Do I trust you?" Jack studied his bottle for a few moments. "Not too sure, yet. We'll see how it goes, aye?"
Raven nodded. She rubbed her brow, then took another swig.
"Didn't I 'ear a challenge from ye earlier, Luv? Where you offered to drink me under the table? I'd sure like to see that."
Raven's eyes appeared to brighten. She looked at her bottle then back at Jack.
"From ye drunkened state you won't be able to see my winnin' streak." She challenged with a grin.
"Shall we find out then, Lass?"
