- Chapter Six -
It had been a couple of hours since Malone had left Raven to go to the docks. Raven was still in the Faithful Bride with Jack and Willy. What had started with a single drink each had turned into another drink, and then another. Due to this neither of them had realised how long they had actually been drinking for.
Jack had been rambling on for the last twenty minutes about the Black Pearl, a few things had been repeatedly a fair few times, but their overall drunkeness hadn't realised.
"My Pearl is a wonderful ship, the only woman that can ever leave me feeling satisfied."
Raven had been taking a swig from her mug during the remark, and half laughed, nearly making spit out a mouthful of rum. She covered her mouth with a hand just to be on the safe side. Once she'd managed to swallow the mouthful she looked to Jack in amusement.
"Jesus, Sparrow, let me know when you're gonna say somethin' like that. I don't wanna waste me rum."
"But I wanna make ye understand, 'bout me Pearl." Jack spoke with a slur.
"Yes, Sparrow. Ye love ye ship. So do I."
"Yo love me Pearl?" Asked Jack drunkenly.
"Wouldn't know 'bout that. But I do love me own ship. Me very own Dark Diamond." Raven's own eyes clouded over at the thought of her ship.
Willy looked at the pirates either side of him and gave a shake of his head. One of his eyes were barely open, so it seemed that he was struggling to stay awake.
"Why the obsession with callin' ye ships name with jewels an' such?"
Jack raised an eyebrow and gave his own head a shake. Landlubbers really didn't understand.
"Obsessions nothin' to do with it, Willy. It's just a symbolisation of the ship and it's Captain."
"Aye, that's right Sparrow." Raven agreed with a nod, she raised her mug and downed the rest of her rum.
Willy stood up and swayed. He blinked a few times, then his eyes slid shut and he fell backwards hitting the floor hard with a thump. Raven laughed heartily, she reached for Willy's mug and checked the contents.
"Silly idiot, didn't even finish 'is rum." She smirked at Jack.
Jack swirled his own mug, and watched Raven thoughtfully. He had been watching her for the most part, watching her movements, listening to her manner of speaking. He'd had met many pirates at his time at seas, but none of them had been like Raven. The way that she had been laughing a moment ago, it was hard to imagine that she had been threatening Willy with his very life just earlier on.
True, she wasn't the most attractive female that he had seen, and he had had his fair share of women. In fact he would go as far to say, that he had a lot of mens share of women. But there was something about her that he found attractive. Mainly her lust for life.
"So, Sparrow, you got anythin' interestin' lined up for the moment?" Inquired Raven.
"At the moment? Nah, not as such. Been busy fixin' up me ship. After that I'll just see what comes me way. You?"
Raven stared at him for a couple of moments, as if pondering her answer. She didn't get to respond though as a young boy, perhaps about the age of thirteen came rushing into the bar somewhat out of breath. He looked around for a couple of moments, then saw Raven. The young lads eyes widened thankfully that he had finally come across her, to which he made his way quickly over, overlooking the fact that she had company of another.
"Captain!"
"What ye doin' 'ere lad?" The boy visibly swallowed, his eyes wide open as he looked at his Captain, though he found himself able to answer. "Robert! Answer me lad!" She snapped.
"T-the ship. The Dark Diamond ... it's gone."
Robert glanced down at his feet, afraid of what Raven's reaction would be. He had seen violent side on several occasions though she had never laid a finger on him. She didn't answer, but her eyes appeared to darken. She placed Willy's unfinished rum back on the table, and rose from her sitting position.
She placed her hands on Roberts shoulders, and manoeuvred him out the tavern. She didn't look at Jack who gave her a quizzical look. She just left him sitting at the table with his rum, and Willy's unconscious form on the floor.
Jack glanced down at Willy and shrugged. He polished off his own rum as well as Willy's before he brought himself to his feet. It was about time that he left anyway, he had not real sense of how much time he had been there, plus he had left Gibbs in charge. God knows, if the work was actually completed.

"What do ye mean 'it got taken'?!" Exclaimed Raven, her rage had finally emerged. Robert flinched hoping that she didn't turn her rage upon him.
"A group of pirates came on board. I tried to raise the alarm, but none of the crew were payin' any attention. They were too busy drinkin'." He explained to her.
Raven and Robert were standing by the dock in the section where her ship the Dark Diamond had once sat. Sighing heavily, obviously in distressed she leaned slightly against a few water barrels that had been piled up.
"What about Malone? Have you seen 'im?" She questioned, trying to clear her mind so she could find out the details in her ships disappearance.
"No Captain, as far as we knew he was with you."
"Right then. What 'appened when the crew realised?" Raven asked, her voice lowered. There was no point in taking her rage out on Robert though, he was only a mere boy.
"They started fightin', so I hid. Most the crew were killed, those who survived were given a choice. Be killed or join them." Raven sighed, she had known most of her crew for years. A couple she had know since she was a child, like Malone, but now he was missing.
"Did they join them?" She asked, half wanting but not wanting to know.
"Out of the six left, two did. Jim West and Jonathan Elyot. The rest were killed." Raven clenched her teeth.
"Did they find you?"
"Yes. The Captain, gave me this message to give to you. 'The Jewel of Valyos will be mine'." Robert intoned remembering the words, not that he knew what they even meant.
"Shit! Did he give 'is name?" Raven asked sharply.
"Captain Willoughby."
There was a sudden loud snapping of wood as Raven's temper flared up, making her send her fist through one of the barrels spilling water onto the ground. Willoughby again.

"Jack, there ye are. What took ye?" Asked Gibbs, as Jack staggered aboard.
"There was a woman, an' a lot of rum." Jack grinned still somewhat feeling drunk, but a little more sober than he had been. His stroll back to the Pearl had been a long one, being as he had found another little strumpet to take his fancy on interrupt his journey back.
"That's our Captain, all right."
"Is everything completed now Gibbs?" Asked Jack, his arms flaying about.
"Aye, Captain. All repairs fully finished. But we 'ad a surprise 'bout half an hour ago."
"Did ye now. An' what would that be?"
"It's best that I show ye." His first mate stated, making an indication for Jack to follow him.
Jack followed Gibbs into the galley where there was a man sitting on one of the tables, even from the entrance to the galley it was clear that the male was as pale as a sheet. A crewman was dabbing a cloth, onto the back of the mans head, one that appeared to be stained with blood.
"Just press this 'ere, to stop the rest of the bleedin'." ordered Carter, to the man, as he indicated with the mans hand. The male just about gave a nod, though grunted slightly in pain, holding the cloth in place.
"What 'appened 'ere then Gibbs?" Asked Jack a lone eyebrow raising up.
"As far as we can tell, someone 'it 'im quite hard. Guessin' that he wandered about for awhile. We found him passed out on the gangway."
Jack made his way towards the man. He could see that the back of the mans shirt was soaked in blood. Jack cringed slightly, no doubt this man had a severe headache. He was taken back with surprise as he saw the mans face.
"It's Malone, isn't it?"
