Jane Point of view
I was now currently, sitting on a chair and I had several maids who were combing my hair and adjusting my engagement dress. Normally, any girl should be happy on the day of the engagement party. But no, there is me who has been crying all night about getting married to someone who I do not love.

It has been just under a week, when the incident at the old Avery tavern where I had no choice but to put and an end to my relationship with my soulmate James Kidd. Even when I thought of him now, my eyes will always begin to water, when James insulted me it broke my heart because he had always been sweet and funny to me.

I looked at the window, when I heard a knock coming from my bedroom door. One of the maids, left their position and went to answer the door. I didn't care to be honest, I was busy staring outside of Havana thinking about all of my friends Anne, Edward, Thatch, Ben, Charles, Rackham and James who would have moved on by now.

They may be the deadliest pirates of the West Indies, by it's strange they always had a soft heart for me. The way, they would tell me funny stories, drinking, celebrating and singing. But, soon all of that is going to end, it is likely that my future husband wouldn't allow me to travel to Nassau where it is known as the town of pirates.

I soon felt, someone tap my shoulder gently, and I turned from my view and saw the same maid she was holding a letter in her hand.
Maid: I'm sorry to disturb you, from your view Jane.
She said sheepishly, as I forced a smile on my face.
Jane: it's alright, I'm guessing this letter is for me.
I stared at the letter, that she was holding, I sighed I hope it is not  from my... finance.

She handed me the letter, and all of the maids soon left the room and left me by myself so I could have my own privacy.
Jane: I hope it is good news for me.
I said to myself, as I looked at the letter that had my name written on. I looked outside and looked behind me, making sure that nobody was not eavesdropping on me.

I opened the letter, and my heart dropped because I could tell who this letter was from.

Dear Jane
Ahoy lass, I know what you are thinking why I am writing to you, after our breakup under a week because I am the last person to speak to you. But fear not, Ive calm down and I have realised that I..I'm the one who should be apologising to you. The truth is, when you left and returned back to Havana, Anne told me everything and I soon came back to my senses. What I am trying to say, is that I'm sorry Jane for releasing my rage upon you. You don't know how I felt after, I calm down my words must have stung you, when I called you a cow. No your not the cow, I'm the cow or a whale or a seagull. You had no choice, and you didn't want to break your father last wish.

But remember lass, if your happy then I'm happy for you. So if this marriage does bring you happiness, then at least I know your happy and safe. If there are any issues don't be afraid to tell me or anybody else because you will always have me support no matter what.

Your sincerely
James Kidd.

I couldn't tell if these were tears of joy, or me being upset, as my tears dripping onto the letter like it was leak coming from the roof. I re read the letter about six times and I know it was tears of joy. I held the letter from James close to my chest, while I was laughing at James calling himself a whale and a seagull.
Jane: my James is back.

I said to myself, and I soon heard footstep that were coming onto of the roof. I soon caught a quick glance, of a shadow out the window, the shadow figure was a tall figure that appeared to be a male figure. Also, what caused my eyes to widened was that the anonymous shadow figure had like a bandana wrapped around its head.
James!! I thought

I quickly, opened the window even more and stretched my neck to see that onto of the rooftop that he was gone. Was James Kidd, was looking at me all this time? Even when the maids where here as well. I knew I felt someone was watching me, all this time! He still cares for me. I thought.

All of a sudden, I felt a hand rough hand pull me back into my bedroom. I was soon face to face with my fiancé.
??: well well, where you trying to escape from my dear.
He smirked and he held, shoulders in a strong grip.
Jane: n- no I wasn't I was just admiring the view it is a sunny day.
I trembled in fear, I knew this is was going to end bad. My fiancé was a really rough looking man, who looked worser than any pirate I have met in my life. His left hand side of the face, he had numerous scars on his face.

Rogers: really? I cannot have my future Mrs Rogers falling out a window.
I realised that I still had James letter in my hands, and I quickly hid it behind my back. Which was a fools move, because Woodes Rogers noticed my sudden movement. I wish I knew he was coming, because I would have hidden James letter in one of my draws.

Rogers: give me that!
He knitted his eyebrow, and he had a menacing look on his face.
Jane: it's just a letter, nothing else.
I stared, knowing that it was hopeless to lie to him, because I did not want him to slap me like last time. That's right I'm not even married yet, and I'm already in a abusive relationship.

Woodes Rogers, removed his grip from me, and he quickly took the letter from the back of hands.
Jane: Hey, I told you the truth, it's just a letter for me.
I said shouted as I tried, to reach for the letter.
Rogers: SHUT UP!
He yelled and pointed his finger at me, I jumped back and I was frightened by his sudden outburst.

He looked at me sharply, before he sat down on a chair and he began to open the letter to read it. I fiddled with my fingers, and I sighed heavily because I knew I was going to get another beat down. The letter was from James, and Woodes  Rogers is the opposite he hates pirates so he hates James.

I looked at his expression, and suddenly his eyes began to fume and he gripped the letter so hard it ended up putting a hole in the letter. All of a sudden, he shot up from the chair and he walked to me and slapped me hard on my right cheek .

Which caused me to, fall onto my vanity table he grabbed me again and he punched my stomach which caused me to cry out in pain as I fell hard onto the floor.
Rogers: you filthy pirate WHORE!!
He yelled and he began to pace back and forth around the room. I cried and I held my head on my stomach, due to the pain that was still there.

Jane: he's my friend, Rogers... and I'm not a whore.
My voice cracked, due to the fact I was choking on my tears and before I could say anything else. His eyes, sparked with fire and he advanced towards me and he yanked my hair in order to make me stand up.

Rogers: oh really friends? Don't lie to me Jane, I know that you have had history with the bastard James Kidd! Devilish handsome, so he's written love letters to you know! Now tell me the truth, Did. You. Have. History. With. James.
He stated and he gripped, my hair tighter as I tried to releases from his grip. I had no choice, but to tell him the truth, about my relationship with James.

Jane: y- yes I did. But, I put an end to our relationship because I told him I was going to get married.
I whispered the last few words, and I looked at Woodes Rogers who's expression hardened.
Rogers: did you mention my name.. to your past lover!
He sneered at me, I thought for a second why is Woodes Rogers so concerned about his name being told by James!
He tugged my hair, demanding an answer from me. I responded back by saying no.

Rogers soon released my hair, and began to laugh evilly either to me or himself  I couldn't tell. He was laughing so much, until he grabbed my neck and slammed me again the wall.
Rogers: now you listen to me Jane, as your future fit husband. I will allow you to go to Nassau for the last time because once you are married to me you will obey my commands.

His face was inches from one, I could feel his hot breath on my face. I stood my ground and fire back at him, by trying to remove his hands from my throat, but he sued his other hand to grab my arm.
Jane: why would you let me go to Nassau for? I thought you hated pirates and you hate James Kidd the most.

I asked curiously, and Rogers began to apply more pressure on my throat due to the fact I answered back to him.
Rogers: Don't think I'm doing this out of kindness Jane. I'm giving you a warning here, if you tell James Kidd or anybody else about any of this right now. I will easily know, because I have spy's in Nassau who will report directly back to me after your visit. Got it?

I nodded, because I was unable to speak, due to the fact I am gasping for air.
Rogers: Good, now I'm giving you 5 minutes to come outside and celebrate for our engagement. Hmm... don't take long, or else you want another beating.

He released his grip from my throat, and I gasped in relief he slammed the door behind him. I was left here alone, and I bursted into tears again.
Jane: oh James, I'm so sorry.
I said to myself, wishing he was here right now comforting me and saying funny cheeky jokes to cheer me up.

3 weeks later ( Nassau)
The ship was docked at the port of Nassau, I looked out the window and saw the beautiful sun shining through my cabin window. I quickly undressed myself from my nightclothes, and I put on some black breeches and a blank white t shirt and a jacket. I combed my hair, and left my hair loose I looked at my mirror and I looked like a pirate. I was about to leave, the cabin until I realised that there was a dress, was left on my chair.

Jane: a dress?
I said to myself, as I scratched my head in confusion I noticed that there was a note on top of the dress. I picked the letter up and o read only one word from the letter. Which caused me to, rip the otter tin pieces and and threw the dress out the window. Well the fishes can eat the dress, I wasn't gonna wear a dress that was sent from Rogers! I thought.

I left the cabin room, and I walked on the plank to enter the docks. Until I felt, a rough hand on my arm and stopped me halfway. I turned to see, the captain of the ship one of Woodes Rogers men.
Jane: excuse me John, can't you see that I am going somewhere.

I mocked in his voice, and I shrugged my arm from his hold. The man scoffed, and glared at me with his sharp eyes.
John: listen here lass, just because you are at Nassau to see your beloved friends and.. your past lover James Kidd. Doesn't mean, that you can't do what you want.

I rolled my eyes, I knew what he was going to say next.
Jane: Did Rogers sent you here, just to spy on me?
I asked, as I crossed my arms demanding to know if my theory was correct. John knitted his eyebrows and he scratched his beard and I could see from the corner of his lips that he was smiling.

John: of course he did lass, he told me and he payed me a good a sum of money. So, I'm gonna do my job, so don't think that you are gonna tell ya mates the truth about you... Mrs Rogers.
He laughed at me, and I glared at him I wanted to just push him into the water for the fun of it.

Damm, I remember Woodes Rogers telling me that a few days ago! I thought I guess I got too excited about seeing James Kidd again.
Jane: whatever jackass.
I muttered under my breath, and I turned to walk straight into the city of Nassau.

John: Oi Jane! If you try any tricks I will report back straight to your fiancée and he will give you a beating you'll remember!
He shouted, as I walked faster away from me, after a few minutes of walking I saw the Old Avery Tavern where I could hear laughter, chatter and singing that made me feel like home.

I reached the Old Avery tavern, and it was only a few people or sailors who were just sitting down and having a drink in peace. I sat down on a empty table, and I looked around to see that there was no sign of anybody I knew, no Thatch, Edward, Hornigold, vane, Rackham.... and James.
Jane: where is everyone?

I said to myself, as I looked around the Tavern like a lost puppy. Until, I saw a red hair woman walking around with a tray in her hand. It was Anne Bonny, who was walking back to the counter and placing the empty tray back where it belonged. I waited, till she acknowledged me, and she soon did when she turned around and saw me sitting on a table and I waved at her and her face lit up like a candle.
Jane: Boring day is it Anne?
I said sarcastically, and she beamed with happiness.
Anne: Jane! I missed you!
I laughed at her reaction, when she ran towards me and pulled me into a tight warm hug.

Jane: I missed you a lot Anne, also please don't break my bones.
Anne: oh shit sorry lass.
She muttered and she released her hold from me. I gasped in relief, and she grabbed my hand and we both sat down.
Anne: Good girl you look so different, Christ it feels like I ain't seen you for a year.
I smiled slightly, I shook my head and looked down in sadness.
Jane: I know.. i know I feel the same way as well. But it's only been 3 weeks, and I missed you guys so much that I had to come and visit you.

Anne: Oh tosh! Jane ya can visit me and the others at Nassau anytime day or night. It doesn't matter, you have every right to come here as you wish. I hope your not being restricted from your freedom from coming here, are ya?
She raised her eyebrow at me , and her face hardened but I knew she wasn't made at me... she must have been applying it to Woodes Rogers, because he was the one who did not let me leave to go to Nassau for the past few weeks, until now.

Jane: oh no no... it's nothing like that Anne. It's just that the past few weeks, I've been busy with the engagement party.
I quickly responded back, so that Anne doesn't get suspicious. Instead she directed her eyes at my hand, where I wore the ring of the engagement which I absolutely hated.
Anne: oh can I see a good look on that ring.
She beamed, I nodded and pull my hand forward to her and Anne observed my ring.

Anne: may I ask, who is your fiancé? no doubt he is a wealthy man judging by the look of your ring.
I shook my head, and forced a smile deep down I wanted to cry and tell Anne I did not want to marry him and I hated the engagement party.
Jane: oh you wouldn't know, his name.
I tried to shake it off, purposely and I looked at the corner of my eyes. I saw John, blending in by leaning on the wall of the Tavern and smoking a pipe.

Anne: Oh come on-
I got really nervous, and my forehead began to sweat so I changed the subject quickly.
Jane: Thanks for the help Anne.
I said out of nowhere, Anne looked at me with a puzzled look on her face.
Anne: help?
Hmm I'm guessing James hasn't told her, about the letter then? I questioned.

I first diverted my eyes, back to John and I noticed that he was talking to a group of men. But he was, still sending glances at me, over his shoulder. I guess he was trying to say, that he still keeping an eye on him. Instead, I focused myself back to Anne.
Jane: well last time I was hear at Nassau, I had that huge meltdown when James and I parted away and were no longer together. For many days, I cried knowing that James hated me. Until on the day of my engagement, in my bedroom I received a letter... it was from James he told that you told him everything and he finally came back to his senses.

Anne grabbed both of my hands, and squeezed them with happiness and laughed.
Anne: please tell me, this ain't a ruse?
She asked and I chuckled at Anne childish behaviour.

Jane: no it no ruse at all! James told me that he's sorry for lashing out to me that day. And he said if I was happy, then he would be happy as well.
I said in sadness, when I mentioned the last few words.

Anne: James Kidd, that cheeky little devil! I knew the goodness would come out of him sooner or later.
I tired to hide my sad expression, as I diverted my attention to one of the waiters and I asked for a rum that she was carrying on her tray and she placed two mugs of rum on the table.

Jane: you could say that again.
I chuckled, and again I sipped the addictive taste of rum. I could feel Anne eyes on my again, and I knitted my eyebrow in confusion. I could tell, she wanted to know something.

Jane: what's up?
As I placed the tank yard on the table.
Anne: well, as I was saying before who is your newly fiancé?
Damm it,I knew that she desperately wanted to know I thought. As much as I wanted to tell, her John was still here and who knows there could be other spy's right here in the Tavern.

I shuffled nervously, in my seat and I looked and the docks and I noticed I saw the Jackdaw anchored. In the distance I could hear a huge crowd of crew members chattering and laughing and I could they are heading to the Tavern.
Jane: it looks like, the Tavern will be packed now, knowing it's gonna be Edwards crew.
I changed the subject, again hoping that Anne would get distracted.
Edward: ahoy lass, it's been awhile!
I looked down, to see the familiar welshmen Edward Kenway ascending up the stairs to meet me and Anne.

I felt a wave of relief, when Edward arrived because for the time being I could avoid the whole who is my fiancé thing because I did not want to lie to my friends. Soon I received a warm hug from Edward, and I laughed because I was glad to see him.
Jane: I've missed you Edward,
I said as we both released from our hug, and Edward smirked with his cheeky smile.

Edward: I missed you as well Jane, it's been what 3 weeks? Hell who cares your back now.
He sat down next to me, and ordered the usual a mug of rum. I was playing with my fingers underneath the table, because I wanted to know about James whereabouts.
Jane: so, hows James... is he around here somewhere.
Edward looked at me,with a soft expression his face. He placed his hand on my mine for friendly comfort.
Edward: it's all right lass.. he missed ya the most. However, I do know about the letter though, so it's clear he's forgiven ya lass.

I was amazed by Edward reply, James and Edward are like true friends. So it was obvious, Edward would have known about the letter as well.
Jane: that's good to hear, I just wanted to talk to him, once more.
Edward: no worries lass, the devilish handsome pirate.. is on his way.
I hung my head low, due to my cheeks burning red.
When the drinks arrived, Edward took a hug sip and drank almost half of it. I just laughed, because it looked like he never a had drink of rum before.
Anne: jaysus Edward, you know it's not the end of the world.
She shook her head, it looked like a mother shouting at her son.

James: oh come on, mother and son cut the drama out.
I heard James voice behind me, I quickly whipped my head around to see him. There he was handsome as ever, with his arm crossed to his chest and his bright red bandana. I was about to jump out of my seat and hug him, like I would always do in the past. However, I soon stopped my movement and I slightly sat back down in my seat, I remembered, that were are no longer together anymore.

Edward: piss off James!
Edward grumbled, and he continued to drink his rum from his mug, James playfully punched Edward back which caused him to spill a bit of rum out of his mouth.
Anne: James it's good to see ya again, still that same cheeky bastard we all love.
$She chuckled and motioned James, to sit opposite me. I could see the smirk coming from Anne face, and James sat down and I left his feet slightly touch mine and my cheeks turned red.

James: it's nice to see you Anne. Especially you Jane, it nice to see ya presence back at Nassau.
James gave me a warm smile, which made my heart pump and I could tell fro, his face he could see my cheeks turning even more red. I didn't know what to say, because I was loss for words, until Anne motioned her eyes to James.
Jane: umm.. thanks James I'm glad to be back with the gang.
I said softly, I was somehow shy girl who is secretly in love with a boy which is James of course.
Edward: pirate gang.
Edward corrected me, and we all laughed together. This had to be one of best days ever, for the past hour we all sat there talking about any random stories which made us laugh.

However, I noticed James and I could not help but look at each other. But whenever we looked at each other, we would quickly look away. Deep down, I could tell that James wanted to tell me something, in private just by looking at his face.
James finished his second mug of rum, and he looked at me and smirked at me.
James: lass, if you don't mind can I speak to ya in private?
He asked me, in front of Edward and Anne who stopped in mid conversation. I blinked in surprise, did James just ask me to speak to him in private.

I felt Edward, nudge his leg onto my mine gently. I knew he was encouraging me to, take the opportunity I have.
Jane: sure, I don't mind at all.
I downed the rest of the rum, and I got up from my seat so did James and I followed him at the back of the Tavern. He stopped and he, leaned back of the wall of the Tavern with his arms crossed up to his chest with a cheeky grin.

Jane: gosh I missed, that cheeky smirk.
My eyes widened in panic, because I realised I said that out loud from my mouth. So, it's caused James to laugh loud, and I covered my hands into my face. Due to the fact, I was embarrassed.
James: lass, it's alright thanks for the lovely compliment.
James laughed in between, as I felt his rough hands and he lowered my hands away from my face.

The reason what caused me to open, my eyes is that I could feel his hot breath hitting my face. So, when I slowly opened my eyes, James face and my face were inches away so was our lips. We were both in silence, or should I say it was a comfortable silence. I didn't mind being this close to James, neither was him as well. Our eyes were locked to each other, and I was lost into James eyes because they were twinkling in the dark just like stars.

James was slightly closing the gap between us, and we were stilling holding each other hands.
Jane: umm James you wanted to talk?
I asked him, so I could prevent the kiss because technically I was still engaged to another man. Judging from his face, he looked disappointed and he quickly replaced his expression back to neutral.
James: oh, sorry lass.
He quickly took three steps back, and he cleared his throat.

He went back to his current position, leaning his back on the Tavern wall.
James: so I'm guessing, ya got the letter I sent ya.
James said with a humorous tone coming from his voice, and his original smirk. I smiled at him, and nodded my head.
Jane: yes I did, James I just want to-
He cut me off and he walked up to me.
James: I hope we can be in good terms, you and I. I'll say it again to ya, I'm sorry for going off at ya, I should have been calm with you.
I shook my head, and smoked at him for a pirate he had such a good heart.

Jane: James it's alright, I forgive you and yes, we can be on good terms..and thanks for that lovely letter you sent me.
He chuckled
James: that's great lass, it really is. Also, I want to make sure if you are alright with the whole engagement... is everything going fine or are you having any issues.

He said firmly this time, and he knitted his eyebrow. I held my breath, and thought about what to say. I didn't want to tell James the truth, because I fear the Woodes Rogers would kill him along with Edward and Anne.

So it pained me again, that I'm going to lie to James as well.
Jane: oh, it's fine I'm having no issues at all. Don't worry about me James, I don't want you stressing over me.
I forced a smile, but he knew quite well that I want being truthful at all, he signed and shook his head.
James: lass, if you remember what I said in the letter, is that if there was any problems. Don't even hesitate to tell me.
Gosh he knows me so well! I signed and put on a fake smile and I nudged his arm playfully.

Jane:James I appreciate your concern, but I am fine really.
He frowned and I could tell that he was thinking about something. He then, gave me a serious look, with his arms crossed to his chest.
James: are you happy?
He asked curiously, I know he demanded a serious answer from me.
I nodded and smiled a bit.
Jane: I'm happy.
I said in a simple manner.

James changed his expression, back the the cheeky pirate I knew.
James: brilliant, as long as your happy, then I will be happy as well.
He said softly and he came closer to me, and he closed the gap between us again and he pushed a strand of my hair behind my ear.
Jane: oh James.

I said for no reason, I was falling in love with him even more. We both knew each other so well, because in reality I wanted to just kiss him right now. The same was applied to him, he wanted to kiss me from the moment we saw each other after a long time.

Instead I grabbed him and pulled James into a warm hug, and James was shocked from my sudden move. After he recovered his shock for three seconds, he soon wrapped his arms around my waist and pushed his face into my neck and he hugged me back.
Jane: thank you.

I whispered into his ear, as I could smell the fresh ocean coming from him.
James: for what lass?
He asked by whispering back into my ear.
Jane: for checking up on me, when I got the letter. I knew you was watching me the whole time.
I said, and he both released from our embrace.

James: clever lass.
James smirked and winked at me, which made me blush.
Jane: I know clever.
James: sadly, I had to go, before I could get caught by the guards from the roof. Because I had to knock the, out with my sleep darts.
Jane: clever James.
I winked at him, and we both laughed from my remark.

However, while James was laughing. I caught sight of a dark figure standing a few feet away from me and James. My eyes widened in fear, it was John. Shit I totally forgot about him! Damm I know that I was gonna get a beat down when he reports back to Woodes Rogers of what he saw between me and James. I thought.

James stopped laughing and began to get really nervous now, knowing that John was still spying on us.
James: anyways, I actually wanted to know. Who is your fiancé?

James asked, I could sense jealousy under that voice. My forehead began to sweat, because if I said Woodes Rogers, James would know that I would be in danger from him. Due to a fact, that he is a Templar and James is an Assassin.

From the corner of my eye, I saw John with a knife and he motioned the cut throat. Indicating, that either mine or James head will be cut off. I gulped in fear, I had to make a excuse or change the subject.
Jane: oh you don't him James.. he's not from around here in the West Indies.
I said, bending the answer around purposely, which I had no choice but to do it for his safety.

James shook his head, in disappointment and signed and grinned.
James: oh come on lass, what type of answer was that. All of us, didn't come from the West Indies we all came from England, Ireland or Scotland. A name would be nice?
He said, I could tell that James was being stubborn as always. James Kidd, was the type who would want, to get the right answer only.

Jane: his name is Wil.. William Smith he's just some politician.
I stuttered like a fool, from James expression he went into deep thought and he messed with his bandana on his head.
James: hmm William Smith, never heard of that politician before. The only William I knew, was my father William Kidd.
Which made him laugh a bit, I needed to leave right now before things would go out of hand. I knew that James was still not convinced as well.

James: lass are you sur-
I cut him off mid sentence, because I knew what he was going to say next.
Jane: James I really need to go now, it's getting late it was nice to see ya again goodbye.
I quickly said in a hurry, and I walked away from him quickly as possible. I did not dare to look back, and I could sense that James wanted to stop me.

I soon descended down the stairs of the Tavern, and when I soon reached the docks of Nassau. I felt a tight grip under my arm, which cause me to squeak in pain.
John: you dead now Jane, wait till Woodes Rogers hear all about this right now!
John said as he sneered into my face.
Jane: what do you mean, right now?
I asked confused like a lost rabbit, John just laughed at me.
John: turn around.

I gulped knowing, who was standing behind me. I was about to turn around, until John turned me around roughly and I cringed at the sight I saw before my eyes.
Rogers: hello Jane.
Rogers said in a menacing tone. And he grinned at John and they both laughed, all I could do was stand there being helpless as always.

Woah, this was a long chapter than I expected to be honest. So, i will now work on the final part, of this one shot story.
