"Yes, I have met Jack," Jenna said, looking over at Barbossa with the monkey on his shoulder. The two were obviously very attached. Not wanting to be left alone in the cabin again, Jenna tried to start up a conversation, "Did you name the monkey after Jack Sparrow or is the fact that his name is Jack just a coincidence?" Jenna hoped Barbossa would sit beside her on the bed, but she was much to shy to ask him to sit down.

"I named him after Sparrow", Barbossa answered. "I named him after the wild 'nd crazy man steering the ship."
Jack the monkey jumped off his shoulder and ran to the bed next to Jenna. He started chattering raising his arms. Barbossa followed him sitting down. Jack jumped back on Jenna's shoulder.

Jenna let out a little squeal of delight as Jack jumped back onto her shoulder and started playing with her hair. She was even more delighted that Barbossa was sitting on the bed next to her, but she didn't want to make that too obvious.
Suddenly, Jenna noticed that her teeth were chattering and that it was freezing in the cabin. She didn't want to fuss though, so she stuck with the topic of Jack, "So how did you get to know Mr. Sparrow anyhow?"

"I was his first mate aboard the Black Pearl some 15 years ago", Barbossa said. "Sparrow sold his soul ta Davy Jones if he could raise the fastest and strongest ship in the Caribbean from the depths of the sea. The deal would last fer only 13 years. I wanted the Pearl so I took over fer 10 years."
He looked over to Jenna who was listening.
"Jack wanted the Pearl back and shot me."

"nd Barbossa 'ere likes to tell everyone the story as though HE was the victom." Jack said, leaning against the door frame with one ankle crossed over the other. He had one of Barbossa's apples in his hand, throwing it up in the air and catching it, over and over. He was getting bored on deck sohe thought he'd come bug these two.. Push his luck, so to speak.

Jenna frowned. She didn't think it was right for Jack to go around shooting people just because he wanted a ship back. And of course, she certainly wasn't happy about Jack shooting the captain either.
Still many questions in her mind, Jenna stroked the monkey on her shoulder and asked, "How are you still here then if Jack shot you? And I'm starting to think I don't like Jack much."

Barbossa looked at Jack annoyed.
"I don't think she asked ya", he said. "I thought ye were steering the ship."
Barbossa got up and slammed the door on Jack's face. He went back to the bed and sat next to Jenna. He pulled open his jacket and showed her the scar on his chest.
"It be a long story, but I was brought back ta life", Barbossa answered.
He took Jenna's hand and placed it over his scar to let her feel his heart which was beating strongly.

Jenna was pretty annoyed at Jack. He obviously couldn't be trusted and he wasn't even performing his duties!
Jack soon disappeared from her mind though as Barbossa place her hand over the scar on his chest. For a few minutes, she couldn't speak. She wondered if maybe she should pull her hand back. She didn't seem able to though.
Instead, she said, "I don't mind long stories. How were you brought back to life? And...um...is there a lock on the door to the cabin? You know, to keep Jack out?"

Barbossa got up and picked up the wooden plank and laid it on the hinges of the door, locking it.
"I laid dead on an island for weeks with a bullet in me heart", he started. "I was all alone until the voodoo princess, Tia Dalma found me. I don't know how, but she brought me back ta life."

Jenna was thankful to have the door locked. Now there would be no more surprise visits from Jack.
Barbossa's words were rather disturbing to her though. She hated the thought of him lying with a bullet in his heart on an island for weeks. She also didn't like the sound of the voodoo princess.
Frowning, she said, "I wish I had found you sooner. I wish I could've brought you back. So this voodoo princes...do you know her well?"
As Jenna asked the question, she looked over to see what Barbossa was doing. She wished he would hold her hand again.
