The Lie Was Not a Lie 5

Chapter Five: Finding Alicia

Jack was back in Davy Jones Locker. He looked around.. Nothing, not even his ship.. Or his hat.

"Angelica?.. Alicia?" he called out hoping for an answer. Nothing. Well this was great! He was stuck in here again! And this time he didn't even have a ship.. Or company.

"Your not alone!"

"What? Who said that?" Jack looked around confused.

"Down here!" Jack looked down, and saw the crab. He remembered that crab, he made a face.

"Oh great! Not only am I back in the Locker but the bloody rock.. Crab, is talking to me!" The crab clicked it claws then started to crawl away sideways. Jack watched as the crab crawled away, it stopped, and clicked its claws a few times then continued. Jack took that as he should follow it. He looked around, well there was no reason for him to not follow it. He walked slowly after the crab, as they walked more and more crab started to join them. "Where did they all come from?" Jack wondered out loud. After a short while of walking a hill came into view. As they got closer and closer Jack noticed that it was not, in fact, a hill, but rather a cliff. He walked towards the edge. He turned around and all the crabs were crawling towards him quickly, they started to climb on him pushing him more and more towards the edge.

"Stop!" Jack bellowed to no use, the crabs had pushed him off the cliff. He yelled as he fell towards the water.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angelica walked in, she heard something fall. She tried not to carry her cutlass when she was home, but she still reached for it to find that it wasn't there. She cursed under her breath and slowly walked into the living room. She relaxed she saw it was just Jack passed out on the couch. She walked over and grabbed the bottle of  rum that had fallen, nearly gone. She shook her head then went and put it back in the cabinet. She leaned against a wall and thought about what she should do with him. Jack was just lying there, drunk and snoring. She was half tempted to throw water on him, as well as push him on to the floor. She knew she couldn't do the right thing and pull him to the guest bedroom, he was too heavy, and anyways that would not be very entertaining. She went and sat down next to him and continued to think. She wondered how out of it he was.. she gave him a little push and he fell face first on to the couch. She laughed a bit. Jack was still out, and still snoring. She got bored after watching him just sleep. She checked the wall clock. Not that much time had passed. She sighed and took her boots off. She then used her feet to push Jack off the couch and extended her legs across it.

"AHHH!!" Jack opened his eyes, he was on the floor. "Bugger..." He thought he fell off a cliff, he turned around and saw Angelica lying down on the couch. Jack sat up, "Slapping me was not enough, love?"

She gave him what should have been an apologetic look that happened to look more like a smirk.

"I've been walking all day, Jack. Just wanted to come back to my house and put my feet up." Jack mumbled,

"And to torture me even more.."

"It is not my fault you passed out on my couch."

"Well love, you did say 'Do what you please'." Jack smirked at Angelica, got up, picked up her feet, sat on the couch and put her feet on his knees. She smirked at him then looked back at the clock, time was moving so slow.. she was starting to get worried.

"She can't be that far wait.., she has my hat." Jack wondered when his hat.. and Alicia would come back. Angelica glared at him.

"What?" Jack smirked, "I was jokin', deary" She looked at the door.. she pulled her feet of Jack's lap and put her boots back on. She got up and walked to the door, she stopped and turned to Jack before she left. "Are you coming?" Jack got up reluctantly and followed Angelica out of the door. Angelica walked out back into the forest down one of the trails, she had no idea where she was going. But Alicia would have came home for lunch by now.

"Follow me, deary, I will get you there." Jack walked in front of Angelica.

"What are you doing?" she moved back up beside him.

"You said that Alicia had my mind." Jack smirked and continue to walk down a path, through some bushes and down a small path. She looked at him and nodded.

"Alright." She followed him, hoping he knew what he was doing. They continued down a path, Jack saw someone in the distance.. short, kind of long dark brown hair..

"Alicia?"

Jack was standing right in Angelica's way, the pathway was narrow and she couldn't get around him.

"Is it her?" Jack went up closer to get a better look Angelica followed close behind.

"It don't think it's her.."

Angelica pulled her eyebrows together, "Then who is it?

"Did you check her Amigos house...I mean she does have my hat. Wouldn't she want him to see it?"

"She wasn't there, Javier said she had not come over."

"Not sure who that is, I think.. it's.. wait.. I see my hat."

"Jack! Just go over there! I will be right behind you!"

"Fine.." Jack crinkled his nose, then walked up closer and saw that it was Alicia,

"What are you doing, Alicia?" Angelica walked behind Jack, they finally came to a wider area of the trail when he stopped and asked Alicia what she was doing. Angelica squeezed in beside him and saw a ship broken in two, and Alicia walking out of the one side. Alicia saw that they had found her. She pouted for a few seconds. Then smiled brightly.

"Look what I found!" Jack looked around the area and then at the broken ship,

"A ship, a broken ship." He never liked to see a broken ship, he tried to hide a disgusted face. Alicia smiled again,

"Is it not interesting?!" Angelica just looked at her incredulously. She was always finding things but this was by far the biggest. Jack studied the vessel very closely,

"Looks.. familiar."

Alicia looked confused she walked over to them and asked, "It does?" Jack looked at Alicia, then quickly looked back at the ship.

"Yes, looks very familiar. It's not the Pearl.. so that's good." Angelica rolled her eyes, Alicia knew all about the stories of the Pearl. She had no idea that Jack used to Captain it though.

"Why is it so good that it is not the Black Pearl?" Alicia asked. Jack still was staring at the ship,

"Because the Pearl is my ship.. And a Captain never wants to see his ship broken.." Alicia looked amazed,

"You're the Captain of the Black Pearl!?" she nearly yelled in excitement. She was jumping up and down pulling on his coat. "What is it like? Where is your ship?" Jack noticed she was pulling on his coat, looked down at her

"It's good, she is a good ship.. My friend is borrowing her from me, he is looking after her until I go back to her." She frowned and stopped pulling on his coat.

"Why would you let someone barrow your ship?" Jack looked at Angelica, then back at Alicia

"He is just looking after the Pearl until I return to her." Angelica sighed. Alicia looked disappointed

"Oh.." was all she said, she sounded very much like Jack when she said that. Jack saw that Alicia did not have his hat on anymore, he looked over her and it was laying on the sand. He walked up to it, picked it up, brushed all the sand off of it and walked back to both of them. Alicia's eyes went wide..

"Uh.. Captain Sparrow.." Jack looked at Alicia,

"Yes?" She smiled a little apologetically

"I think there might be a crab in that hat.."

Jack took off his hat, turned it upside down, pulled the crab out. He scrunched his nose and set the crab down, tapped his hat just in case there was anymore, after there was none Jack put it back on. Jack watched the crab walk away "My hat.."

"Sorry Captain Sparrow.. it kept following me.. I threw it and it just kept coming back. It was annoying me." She gave him a somewhat apologetic look, but at the same time you could tell she wouldn't do anything differently now.

"It's.. alright.." Jack looked over to Angelica "Well I don't know about you two, but I am hungry.. so I am going to head back and get something." Alicia looked at her mother and smiled innocently,

"I'm hungry too.. "Jack took off his hat, put it back on Alicia and started to walk back to the house. Alicia smiled, glad she had the hat back. It was a little too big but she made it work. After she smiled at Angelica again she ran up to Jack and grabbed his hand. "Are you leaving again?"

Jack looked down at Alicia "Not at this moment, when I need my Pearl.. then I might." He looked straight ahead.

"Oh." she smiled then let go of his and went back to her mother. "Why is he staying with us?" she asked. Angelica thought for a few moments and replied,

"He's a friend." Alicia replied

"Oh.." She said again and walked silently for once. Jack walked into the house and sat at the table waiting for Angelica and Alicia to walk in.

"Yo ho Yo ho, a pirates life for me.." They walked in a few minutes later. Alicia heard him singing and ran the table and sat next to him. That, out of all the pirate songs, was her favorite. "We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot." she sang, she had good singing voice for someone so young.

"Drink up me Hearties! Yo ho!" Jack smiled at Alicia. Angelica headed to the kitchen to start a quick dinner, she didn't want to listen to her daughter sing pirate songs anyways. Alicia smiled back at Jack.

"I like that song." Jack laughed and smiled at the same time, you could see his golden teeth. Jack looked over to Angelica and then looked down at the table, he still had a smile on his face. Alicia was still smiling too, but she always smiled, "I've heard stories about the Black Pearl.. you don't act like the Capitán I heard of."

Jack looked over to Alicia "Oh yeah? Well what have you heard?"

"That he was a very bad person.." She sugar coated the words that were used by the sailors.

"Aye.." Jack looked down onto the table again. Jack got up for a moment to go into his room and put his coat down on the bed, he was getting very warm under his coat. He walked back to the table to see that the food was ready, he sat down "So what are we having.." Angelica finished setting Alicia's bowl down and sat down herself.

"Gazpacho."

"Oh.. Gazpacho, yum." Jack started to eat and was shocked that Angelica did not poison his food. Angelica noticed that Jack looked shocked.

"What you thought I poisoned your food?" She laughed lightly. Jack looked at her

"Yes.. I thought you would have put something in it." He laughed a bit and winked at her. Angelica shook her head. Alicia looked at them with a confused expression and kept eating. Jack also continued to eat his food, every once and a while he would smile a bit. Angelica noticed he randomly smiled. After Alicia was done she excused herself and went to her room, for once she seemed tired. Angelica sat back in the chair, "Why all happiness?"

"Just thought you would have put something in my food, deary." Jack did his witty smirk.

"You really expect that from me Jack? In front of my own daughter?" she acted hurt.

"It could have been a slow acting poison.."  Jack said chuckling. She rolled her eyes.

"Why would I want you dead?" after a few moments she added "..Now?" He smirked

"Don't know, why would you?" Jack winked. Angelica changed the subject,

"You never told Alicia.." Jack looked at her seriously,

" I thought you would.."

"And I expected you to."

"Well I expected you to.. what would I say? 'Oh by the way kiddy, I am your father' Don't you think it would be weird for both of us?"

"It's already weird for all of us, Jack." She smiled lightly "Anyways she likes you.. though you shouldn't take it to heart to much she likes anybody who comes from a ship." Jack whispered just in case Alicia was over hearing,

"Then should we tell her about your father?" Angelica shot up and nearly yelled,

"No!" she stopped herself and took a few deep breaths before sitting back down and whispering. "Do not tell Alicia about Blackbeard!" she hissed.

"I won't.. if I don't have to tell her about me.., you can" Jack replied. Angelica glared at him.

"Why are you so intent on me telling her? It's not going to be any different. It would be better for her to hear it from you!" she spoke lower copying Jack's hushed tone.

"I won't know what to say to her, you know her more then I do." Jack slightly glared back.

"I may have known her longer, but she think just like you!" After she muttered "Unfortunately." He smirked at her,

"Well what am I to say, eh?"

"She would have already known if I knew what to say!" she hissed back at him.

"Fine.. I'll tell her later." And he thought for a moment, just to annoy her a bit more "You know.. when your mad, it's enticing." Jack, yet again, did his witty smirk. Angelica was still glaring at him. She stood up and walked to Alicia's room. She opened the door. Alicia was laying in her bed. She closed the door then went back to her own room and laid on her bed. Jack stood up and walked into Angelica's room and laid on the other side of the bed. Angelica sighed exasperated,

"What are you doing?"

"Lying down.." He smirked.

"In my bedroom?" She challenged.

"Yes, does it bother you?" Jack smiled, he liked to annoy Angelica, he found it very entertaining.

"Yes." She sighed she was half tempted to kick him on to the floor. Jack moved closer to her and put his arm around her,

"How about now?" She did it this time, she kicked him in the stomach and he rolled off the bed onto the floor. "OOF!" Jack said in a bit of pain.

"Much better." she called out to him.

"What was that for, eh?" He said as he stood up, and sat back on the bed again.

"I wanted you off my bed, but here you are again.." she sighed, he smirked

"Yes, here I am.." Jack moved to the same position he was in before, but he turned sideways and faced Angelica. He moved her hair behind her ear and whispered "Hola."

"You said it wrong." she smirked half tempted to kick him again. Jack caught her foot before she managed to kick him again, he whispered

"Does it matter?" He made sure that his breath went on her neck.

"No." she replied stubbornly and pulled her foot back.  Jack put his nose on her cheek and smirked, which made his lips slightly touch her cheek.

"Must you always try?"  Jack laughed

"Try what?"

"You know what." Jack smiled

"Why do you always seem to refuse?"

"The past dies hard." she answered simply, turned away from him so he couldn't see the smirk she was wearing. With that, Jack got up and headed for the door, but before he left he kissed Angelica on the cheek. He was not sure why he did, he was a bit pissed at her.. It was a mad kiss, but he did it anyway. Jack walked into his room, shut the door, laid down and eventually went to sleep. Angelica was glad he was finally gone, she knew that would work, it always did. She yawned she wanted to punch Jack. He was still somewhat not himself. She eventually drifted into sleep.
