-Chapter Seventeen-
After hearing Gibbs' words being called through the door, Jack and Raven practically tore away from each other, much to the dismay of them both. Still the unexpected interruption was enough to snuff out both of their burning desires, and had caused Jack to become completely limp. Both scrambled around for their clothes which were laying haphazardly on the floor of Jack's cabin.
"Never a moments peace." Jack muttered to himself as he pulled up what he thought were his trousers. Glancing down he saw that bottoms were swinging around his calves. "These are yours I believe, Luv." He stated pulling them off and tossing them towards Raven who caught them.
"Likewise." Raven replied and tossed Jack's own pair towards him.
They were both sorting out their shirts as they walked out of the cabin. Jack immediately went over to Gibbs who was at the helm, while Raven followed. She didn't want to be shut out on this.
"It's there in the distance Captain. Looks like they're 'eaded straight for us." Gibbs explained, indicating with one hand towards the oncoming ship.
"They must be idiots if they think they can take on me Pearl." Jack spoke with a frown.
Standing next to Jack, Raven shook her head. "I wouldn't be callin' 'em idiots Sparrow. That be the Lady Fair."
Gibbs looked between Jack and Raven, it was fairly obvious to him that he had interrupted something. He was however surprised by Raven's analyse. "The Lass be right, Captain." He confirmed with a nod.
"Well I think we'll be seein' what the Lady Fair is after then." Jack spoke. "Everyone be on the ready!" He then barked out to the crew. There were a few murmurs from the crew but they did as they were told, all those on deck rushing to their rightful positions.
Malone then came over towards Jack with Robert and Willy at close hand. "What about these two?" He asked looking between Jack and Raven, he had a strange calmness about him, which Jack thought was somewhat odd, but at the moment he was too busy to figure out why.
Jack then looked at Raven and flashed his gold teeth. "I'm goin' to let you be the judge of that Luv." He stated then disappeared to another part of the ship.
Raven watched as Jack disappeared then looked at Malone. "Place 'em in Sparrow's cabin, and keep an eye on 'em." She commanded. Malone nodded and led the two away heading in the direction of Jack's cabin.
It was several moments later when the two ship started to get closer to each other, Jack had his men ready in case a battle was to commence. "Steady yourselves men." He stated, he then furrowed his brow as he spotted Raven leaning casually on one side of the ship. He shook his head really not understanding the woman and returned his attention to the situation at hand.
As the two ships came along side, Jack's men were prepared. Jack gave a brief look over at Raven again and frowned seeing her climbing onto the side of the ship.
"What you think you're up to Raven?!" Jack called out.
Raven glanced back and flashed Jack a smile before grabbing hold of a rope. She then swung on over to the Lady Fair, leaving Jack muttering obscenities under his breath.
"Bloody Woman." He muttered. Jack then indicated for Gibbs and a couple of crew men to follow him towards where Raven had swung over.
On the deck of the Lady Fair Raven had let go of the rope and had landed fairly neatly onto her feet. The crew of the other ship which had also be preparing for the battle looked at Raven in confusion. There were some murmurs among the crew, but none said or did anything till one crew member in particular made his way to Raven.
"You know who the Captain of the ship is Gibbs?" Jack asked Gibbs as he and his men prepared to swing on over.
"Aye, it be Arnold Grainger, been in these water for many a decade now." Gibbs answered.
Jack nodded, he was aware that things didn't seem to be quite as they seemed with the other ship. Even before he knew something was amiss, there was just something about Raven's reaction to the ship which he couldn't put his grubby finger on. He could see now that the crew there had left their posts, not what was expected when he had been expecting a fight of some kind. Gritting his teeth together he swung off over to the ship, seeing that a few men had crowded around Raven. What he hadn't been expecting though was for Raven to be laughing along with them.
Raven glanced over at the sound of Jack appearing on the ship, and she flashed a smile in his direction. She placed a hand out at the crew of the Lady Fair that went to reach for their weapons, giving them an easy look.
"Now, now Lads, ye can remain at ease. It's only Jack Sparrow. Do me a favour while I go speak with your Captain, and just make sure Sparrow doesn't attack ye rum supplies." Raven commented with a laugh then started to walk off in the direction of the Captain's cabin.
Jack blinked several times at this, he was fully confused with what was happening. He gave a shrug to Gibbs' questioning gaze. He then looked up as a crew member walked up to them.
"So ye be Jack Sparrow. 'eard the stories of your. Fairly surprisingly to see ye in the company of the lass though." The man spoke gruffly. "I be Grimsby, the first mate."
"Ye know Raven then eh." Jack spoke for a moment, then an eyebrow disappeared under his bandanna as Grimsby started laughing.
"Most the crew 'ere know Raven." The man smirked, being rather heavy in how he spoke her name. It was like it was some sort of joke.
The men then stood in silence for a moment till Raven's voice broke the silence.
"'ere Sparrow. Come over 'ere, want yo to meet the Captain aboard." She called out, making a gesture for him to go over to her.
Jack shrugged and went over to Raven despite Gibbs' look of warning before being ushered into the Captains cabin. Jack took in the neat appearance of the cabin, completely different to his own messy one. His sights then landed onto a aged man with dirty shoulder length grey hair and a clean shaven face, he was a bit taken back with the man looks, there was a striking resemblance between the man and Raven.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, meet Captain Arnold Grainger, me da'." Raven spoke as she closed the door to the cabin, giving the three of them full privacy.
"Ye father?" Jack answered in a surprised tone, his eyebrows doing their disappearing trick under his bandanna.
"That's correct Isabelle is my daughter." Grainger answered with a brief nod. "As per usual seems that someone has gotten her into bother once again. Fancy loosing your bloody ship." He stated giving Raven a disappointed look.
"Isabelle?" Jack gave a slight chuckle and looked over at Raven. "Your real name's Isabelle?"
"That's right Sparrow, laugh it up and get it out o' ye system." Raven spoke in a irritated tone. It was only her father that got away with calling her by her true name. She would have to drum that into Jack's head once this was over with.
Jack cleared his throat and stopped laughing. Raven then shook her head at her father.
"I didn't loose me ship. That bloody Willoughby commandeered it." She stated correcting him, she kept a good handle of her tone of voice, clearly trying not to undermine the elder male.
"Don't forget that ye crew were killed." Jack interrupted resulting in a dirty look being given to him by Raven.
"Aye, that too. All for except Malone whose aboard the Pearl."
"And youn' Robert." Jack interrupted again, then became curious at the look that Grainger gave Raven.
"The lad. Isabelle, I told ye to forget about the boy." Grainger stated with a sigh then shook his head. It seemed that he was disappointed with his daughter. "Now what's this about Branigan that ye mentioned a while back?"
Raven gave a nervous laugh for a moment and rubbed her side of her neck as she answered.
"Oh tha'. Jack 'ere recently lost the ships cook ....... in an accident shall we say. Was wonderin' if I could take one of ye men as a replacement, also would be nice for when I get me ship back." Raven requested with a shooting glance for Jack to not mention anything.
They waited a moment while Grainger thought the request through. Raven idly played with one of the braids in a hair, which Jack kept noticing before tearing his glance away. He was starting to pick up more on those small traits of hers, whereas before he wouldn't have noticed. Damn her.
"All right Isabelle, you can have one crew member. You can take Andrews. I'm sure that you remember him, he's been gettin' restless aboard lately. Could do the lad some good." Grainger finally answered with a nod.
"Thank ye da'." Raven nodded then gestured at Jack for them to leave.
"Oh and Isabelle." Grainger spoke as Jack and Raven went to the door. "Try not to kill this 'un savvy?" He added with a knowing smile.
