- Chapter Eight -

A groan emerged from Raven as she slowly opened one eye, just about able to focus on her surroundings. She sat up slowly and covered her eyes. Raven felt a dull pain on the back of her head, and she hissed slightly as a hand travelled back to find the source of the pain and felt a bump.

The memories of the night before flooded in her mind. The theft of her ship, the drunken argument with another pirate, and the reappearance of Malone.

Now she was just trying to figure out where she actually was. She was in a room, within a bed which wasn't hers, with a sheet draped over her legs. She was fully dressed, the only items missing were her hat and effects.

Then it occurred to her, that the room she was in was situated on a ship. The rocking of the room was subtle, but from her experience at sea she knew that the ship was docked. The question now at hand was who's ship was she on. She knew fully that it wasn't her own, being as she had no idea on the whereabouts of the ship

Thinking back to last night, though it was rather fuzzy, she could have sworn that Jack was with Malone. Was that the explanation? Was she aboard Jack's ship? The Black Pearl?

Glancing around the room she spotted her hat on the floor, nearby was two wrinkled sheets. Raven moved from the bed quickly, and grabbed her hat.

Raven felt her stomach lurch, and she inwardly cringed. She needed another drink. She spotted a a couple bottles on top of a cabinet, she put her hand together in a silent gratefulness. Grabbing one of the bottles she took a swig, she smirked to herself as she realised it was rum. Hopefully the owner wouldn't mind her swiping one for herself.

Finishing the bottle, she wiped her mouth on the back of her hand, and placed the empty bottle on the cabinet. Spotting her effects upon a chair in the corner of the room, she made her way over and fitted them on herself.

Hearing the door to the room swing open, she drew her cutlass. She sighed heavily and put the cutlass away as Malone emerged.

"Ye awake, Captain."

"As it would seem."

"How's ye head? You took a sharp blow last night." Malone asked quizzically. He didn't want to tell Raven about his own experience, but he knew he would eventually have to.

"I remembered when I found me bump. I take it we're on the Black Pearl?" Asked Raven.

"That's correct. Captain Sparrow helped bring ye back here. I think he wants to bed ye." Malone smiled slightly. But he appeared rather pale to Raven.

"What man wouldn't want me. No man can resist me charms.” Raven stated with a chuckle, even though it didn't do her head much good. “Not even you.” Whereas she hadn't been serious she now smiled warmly at him. Malone didn't reply, he didn't want to think back in the past.

Inside his cabin Jack leaned back in his chair, feet upon table with his ankles crossed and bottle of rum in hand. He smiled at Robert, who had been telling him about his life aboard the Dark Diamond. Gibbs was also present, but he was strictly observing quietly.

Robert, he discovered, was twelve years old. Raven had come across him when he was eight after his mother died. His mother had been a whore, and he had never known his father. No doubt his mother hadn't known who he was as was the case with most whores that found themselves with child. Raven had then raised him as her own son, and taught him how to serve at sea.

Despite the little time that Jack had known Robert, Jack found he was becoming fond of the young boy. Jack had noticed that Robert was making sure that he wasn't giving any information regarding his Captain. It was obvious that Robert trusted Raven with his very life, and he was very loyal to her. It also seemed that her crew also had this trait which had served their death warrant.

"Couldn't ask for a better life." Stated Robert.

"Is that right?" Jack raised an eyebrow at the boy.

"Well, I haven't done anythin' else with my life. I just hope that when I'm old enough the Captain will let me go my own way." The scrawny boy spoke with the smallest of smiles.

"If she really is the Captain, that you think she is. I'm sure she would."

Jack took another mouthful of rum. There was a sharp rap on the cabin door which raised his gaze.

"Enter."

Jack glanced at the direction of the door and watched as Raven and Malone walked in. He motioned to a couple of chairs at the table.

"I'm guessin' you're wonderin' why I allowed you to stay on me ship. So I'll get straight to the point. I know that you've been searchin' for somethin' or other. I know that Willy gave you information. I also know that some pirate called Willoughby is also searchin'."

"I thought ye were getting' straight to the point, Sparrow." interjected Raven, her eyebrows raised.

"I was just getting' there." replied Jack clearly irritated from the twitch of his right eye. "As I was saying, it's obvious that the object of your search is of great value. But now that you haven't got a ship or crew, ye not gonna be findin' it any time soon."

"I'm not gonna be findin' it any time soon, as the only person with the co-ordinates commandeered me ship." Raven's eyes visibly darkened. "I don't care what ye think you're after, Sparrow. But you're not gonna get it. The Jewel of Valyos is gone forever, and that bastard Willoughby is gonna get it, and keep it to himself."

"The Jewel of Valyos?" Jack brows furrowed together, "Now why does that sound so familiar?"

"The legend, Jack." Replied Gibbs. "It's been goin' round these parts for decades now. The Jewel of Valyos is supposed to be so rare, that it's worth not thousands, but millions. The only thin' is it's just a legend. Got more chance of finding the Holy Grail."

"It's not." Raven looked pointedly at Gibbs. "What if I told ye there was a way to find it. I always thought it was just a legend, but according to me da, me grandfather came close to findin' it's location."

"Captain..." Malone murmured in a warning, trying to get Raven's attention. She either didn't hear him, or she ignored him since she continued.

"Me grandfather died in the process, but he gathered the information together. There are two items to find before the Jewel can be found. The Mark and the Vase of Valyos. Now Willy served me grandfather as cabin boy, and he knew that the co-ordinates to find the Mark of Valyos were known to Bart Gallagher. Bloody Willoughby beat me to it."

"Thank you me dear. I think that clears things up." Stated Jack. "But I think you've underestimated Willy. He's not known for givin' up full information unless given the right incentive."

"Willy?" Raven frowned. "In that case, I think I better have a word with him, and if he doesn't tell me everythin' I might have to encourage him."

Raven pushed herself up from the table and made her way to the door. She turned and faced Jack, her gaze a somewhat troubled one.

"Sparrow, if ye don't mind, I'd like to make a request. That Robert stays on ye ship."

Jack got to his own feet, and eyed Raven for a couple of moments. Gibbs raised a questioning eyebrow.

"Of course, but I'm gonna accompany ye. Ye have me intrigued, Lass. If ye get the information that ye need, I'm willing' to let ye use me Pearl."

Raven thoughtfully glanced at Malone who had also risen to his feet. He nodded in agreement, Jack seemed to be somewhat trustworthy, and with an offer like that who was she to deny it.

"Ye have an accord Sparrow." She reached her hand out and met Jack's. She allowed herself a small smile.
