- Chapter Thirteen -

Raven leaned heavily onto the side of the ship, ignoring looks that some of Jack's crew members were sending in her direction. She was used to having people staring at her. Though it mainly was due to her being a female pirate. Branigan was the last person that she expected to see, she didn't want to dwell on her past with him, so she blocked him from her current thoughts.

"Captain?"

Raven allowed herself to glance over her shoulder, and peered at Malone for a moment. He looked at her quizzically, and moved next to her. Raven sighed as she realised that he wasn't going to be leaving at any time soon.

"Yes, Malone, what is it?" Her tone a resigning one.

"Just wanted to see if everything is all right. I saw ye rushin' out of the galley."

"Couldn't be better. Just needed a bit of air, after all the drinkin' last night." Malone smirked at her and gave a nod.

"Aye, Robert, did mention somethin' about rum last night. Hope ye did proud." Raven allowed herself a brief smile as she thought about the night before.

"Aye, I did. Sparrow never had a chance."

"If that's the case, ye'd be willin' to give me another go, Lass?" Raven jerked her head back sharply at the direction of Jack's voice, then wished she hadn't.

"Maybe another time, Sparrow. Got other things on me mind at present." Raven rubbed at her brow, it felt like she was developing headache.

"But would that be due to Willoughby or Branigan." Jack noted that she stiffened slightly from his wording, but not enough to tell if it was due to the mention of either man.

"I'll leave that for ye to decide, Sparrow." She responded sharply, then she realised that she regretted snapping at him. Jack just peered at her not reacting to her tone.

"If that's what you wish, Lass." He paused for a couple of moments. "Anyway, I hope you know what you goin' to be doin'. We're nearing Port Royal."

"How did I end up takin' ye here?" Gibbs mumbled mostly to himself, but loud enough so that Raven could hear him.

"I'm not takin' ye bait, Gibbs. You know full well that Sparrow can't come to shore." Raven stated sharply.

Gibbs merely threw a look at her, and continued rowing to shore. He hated being so close to her. He didn't trust her at all, there was something that she was hiding. He had tried to raise his concerns to Jack, but Jack had merely chuckled and said that all women had something to hide. In fact Gibbs was now concerned that Jack was starting to soften up to her.

Jack was one of the best men that he had ever had the opportunity of working with, but Jack had his own achilles heel though and that was women. Gibbs wondered briefly if Jack was trying to get her into bed. But then again seeing some of the women that Jack had a history with, probably not. He tended to go for the lookers and he wouldn't say that Raven fitted into that category at all.

Gibbs jerked himself out of his thoughts, and concentrated on the task of securing the boat. He watched as Raven climbed out of the boat. He stopped himself from laughing as she lost her footing almost immediately, then slid to the ground . She shot a look a him, but he couldn't help but smirk.

"Not a word, Gibbs. Not one word." Raven stated with a growl. She pulled herself up, then brushed herself down.

"Of course not, Lass." He responded, stifling a laugh. He motioned with a hand for her to follow him.

Jack had to admit that he was slightly nervous, it hadn't been long ago since his last visit to Port Royal. It hadn't been that much fun, as he a barely escaped with his life. He hadn't planned on coming back despite his friendship with Will Turner.

It was Norrington that kept him away. Norrington had let him go, but that was only briefly. That was why the Pearl currently was anchored away safetly out of sight.

Jack had watched as Gibbs and Raven had rowed to shore. He idly wondered how they were getting along. There was some friction between the two, but Jack knew that they would cope. He thought it might help Gibbs, if he was forced to work with her.

"Captain Sparrow?"

The voice jogged him out of thoughts. His attention now on Malone.

"How can I help, Lad?" Malone didn't look directly at him, and looked more at the floor almost submissively.

"I was wondering. Why ye didn't allow me to go with me Captain?"

"I didn't think ye needed to be with her all the time, Lad." Jack arched an eyebrow at him. "You're close to her aren't ye?"

Malones body became rigid, and he frowned.

"It's not my place to say. If ye want to discuss her. Then it's best that ye speak to her yeself."

"Then answer me this. Does Raven know Branigan at all?" Malone looked sharply at him.

"To be straight with ye... She did. I don't know how, or why. She's never discussed her personal life with me." Jack took this into consideration. Malone seemed a little bit too on edge. He was almost certain that he was lying in order to protect Raven. He had to hand it to Malone, he was true to his captain, but he wondered if it perhaps went beyond that.

"That so? Well then, I might have to speak with me ships cook." Jack went to turn on his heel, when he heard Malone sigh.

"From what I remember about Branigan. He likes to boast. He only tells half truths."

"I'll take that in mind." Jack then left Malone, who appeared to be in deep thought.

After following Gibbs for quite awhile, at one point seemingly in circles, Raven had started to wonder if Gibbs had actually been to Port Royal before. Gibbs had explained rather abruptly that it had been several years since his last visit.

Gibbs had been silent for most of the journey, and Raven realised that she actually didn't enjoy the silence. It gave her too much time to think. There was too much on her mind, with thoughts running from Willoughby, the Dark Diamond, and now Branigan. She had almost felt vulnerable when Jack had mentioned his name earlier. She didn't like feeling that way, and it had been many years back that she had last felt it.

Raven was so much into her thoughts, that she didn't notice that Gibbs had stopped. Bumping into him, she went to glare at him, but then he spoke.

"There ye have it Lass. 'Brown's Smithery'." Gibbs pointed to the sign just above their heads.

"You sure, this is the right place?" She asked pointedly.

Gibbs didn't respond. He went to open the door, but she stopped him.

"I think I'll go in first, Gibbs."

"If ye say so, Lass." Gibbs stood away from the door, and gave her a mocking bow, which she curtly ignored.

From inside Raven could hear the sound of metal against metal. Putting her left hand on the door handle, she placed her other hand on the handle of her sword. Ready for her usual questioning technique.

Raven opened the door with so much force, that it slammed loudly on the wall beside it, the door rattling on its hinges. The sounds that were heard from outside abruptly stopped. Raven looked across the room and saw a figure standing beside some burning coals, a freshly made sword in hand, the tip still glowing from heat.

"Where's Brown." She asked menacingly, as she pulled out her sword.
