Late, but who's counting.

TITLE: The Price of Everything
CULPRIT: DarkRosaleen
SUMMARY: "A girl desperate to escape the place she's in and trained to seduce men. She is the key to Jack's finding the biggest treasure in the sea. Oh what should he do? NOT A MARY SUE! Revamped and will add more soon!"
BEST LINE: "Look luv, none of this has anything to do with being fair. I keep you locked in here because I didn't think that ya fancied the possibility of gettin' gang rapped by the crew!" Hey, as long as they aren't singing that damn milkshake song, what's the big deal?

THE VERDICT



It's a short drop and a sudden stop for you.

NAME: Thalia Rhodes
EYES: "The only thing that she could boast as beautiful was perhaps her eyes; they were an odd light aqua color."
HAIR: "rather plain brown hair which she kept cut short, just above her shoulders"
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: " was perhaps a little under weight from malnutrition, and she was short only five feet tall"
OH SO SPESHUL POSSESSIONS: none
OBNOXIOUS AND/OR IMPLAUSIBLE ORIGIN: "Thalia's mother had been Grecian and married her English father. While in route to the Port Royal her ship had been sunk and a slaving ship had picked her up. The slavers realizing that having an unspoiled girl on their hands they had an opportunity to make some extra money. So she was sold to Madame D'acry in Tortuga and taught to become one of her famous concubines."
OBNOXIOUS AND/OR IMPLAUSIBLE CANON CONNECTIONS/AFFILIATIONS: Is currently Jack's private whore, will eventually be his one true love, most likely.
SOOPER SPESHUL ABILITIES: Warping Jack's character to further TEH ANGST. No wait, that's her crime.

THE "PLOT": Sue is sad because she doesn't want to be a whore. She waits for her first customer who turns out to be some old guy with an absurd accent and a treasure map. He shows Sue this map and she recognizes the the mysterious writing on it as being Greek. Wonderful stroke of luck that Sue's mother was Greek, innit? The old man decides to get down to business but is stopped by Jack bursting in with some pirate thugs. Jack kills the old man and takes the map. He has one of the thugs choke out Sue so that she'll tell them where the map is. It's in the old man's pants. They retrieve the map and Jack wants to sleep with Sue. Sue doesn't want to sleep with anyone and be robbed of her precious sue virginity, even though she's a whore so who does she think she's kidding. Also if she was this opposed to being a whore it seems like she would have, at least, tried to escape the whorehouse at some point or something, but whatever. Anyway, Sue tells Jack she can read the map. They make a deal that she will read the map for him if he takes her away from the whorehouse. However, she must be Jack's private whore. They both agree. On the Pearl Sue is outraged to find that she's locked in Jack's room. When he comes for a visit she still doesn't want to have sex, though I'm really unclear on what exactly she thought she was doing agreeing to be his personal whore then, but because it's so in his character Jack takes her anyway. She cries and cries and cries. He doesn't care. Anamaria brings Sue some food and reveals that Jack took her virginity too. Sue is amazed that Anamaria doesn't hate him, because I guess taking someone's virginity and raping someone are synonymous in the Suethor's mind. Anamaria tells Sue that Jack is a good man, blah blah blah. Jack returns and tells Sue that he's a good man blah blah blah and that he just doesn't want his crew to all rape her... so he keeps her in his room... so that he can be the only one to rape her. He has her read the map and then the fic is over. I go and get some brain-bleach.

NOTES: This is just... It burns. It freezes.

Now in the annals of potcsues, in addition to Will the Man-Whore, Bitchy/Unfeeling/Unfaithful/Cowardly!Elizabeth, and countless permutations of Evil!Norrington, we have Rapist!Jack.

Please, someone. Kill it with fire.

EXCERPT:
This chapter was called 'A golden oppertunity'

The Shark Bait was a well-known burlesque house situated in the heart of Tortuga. Any pirate that had the galleons to spend spent them on one of Madame D'arcy's whores. Sadly, this isn't the first time I've seen Harry Potter currency show up in a PotC fic. I'm not going to mention how this sentence is also a fragment because, really, I don't have all month to sit here and point out every grammatical error in this story. Not because they were the prettiest, not to say that the women were ugly, far from it. But these women knew exactly what to do to a man. That was why Thalia was sitting on her bed waiting for her first "patron". Thalia's mother had been Grecian and married her English father. While in route to the Port Royal her ship had been sunk and a slaving ship had picked her up. The slavers realizing that having an unspoiled girl on their hands they had an opportunity to make some extra money. So she was sold to Madame D'acry in Tortuga and taught to become one of her famous concubines. Thalia wasn't the prettiest girl in the place, not at all, she had rather plain brown hair which she kept cut short, just above her shoulders and was perhaps a little under weight from malnutrition, and she was short only five feet tall. The only thing that she could boast as beautiful was perhaps her eyes; they were an odd light aqua color. Because "blue" and "green" just aren't good enough for a Sue. Due to the fact that she had only arrived on the island about six months ago, this would be Thalia's first client and she was scarred stiff. Oh yes she was intrigued by how the other girls talked about the rough and tumble pirates that came through The Shark Bait's doors but that didn't really calm any of her nerves in fact, they usually made them worse.

The door to her chamber swung open unexpectedly and an old man with a peg leg hobbled into the room obviously very, very drunk. He slammed the door closed so hard that it made Thalia jump nervously. It didn't help any that the man was singing loudly about raping and pillaging. Thalia's face fell and she raised one of her eyebrows "Madame expected her to sleep with that?" she thought disgustedly. I like how she thinks in third person past tense. The man stumbled over and fell onto the bed. Looking at Thalia he said, "I finally got it! After all dis bloody time I finally gotched the bleeden' ting." Uhm.. "gotched"? Also "dis", "ting"? Is he cajun? Remy, is that you frolicking through time again? Don't you have enough Sues bugging you in your own fandom?
The man looked so impressed with himself Thalia asked, "What do ye got?"
The man laughed at her, which turned into a wet cough. "I got de map to de great'st treasure in the bloody Spanish Main."
Thalia was suddenly very interested in what this drunken old man was saying. He scooted closer to her and touching her knee with his old rough hands said, "I show it te ye if ye promise not to tell a right soul aboutched it." Again with the random addition of "-ched" as a suffix. Does that have some meaning of which I'm unaware?
"I promise."
"Swear on ye moders life."
"Me mum is at t'e bottom of the sea."
The man frowned at this then said drunkenly, "Then swears on her immortal soul that ye won't tell anyone what I'm about to tell ye."
"I swear."
The man began to fumble with his belt and for a horrified moment Thalia thought that he was going to take his pants off. She had almost forgotten why this man was here in the first place. She silently prayed for a moment and when she opened her eyes the old man was waving a piece of paper in front of her. "Dis be it darlin' t'e answers to me prayers." He opened it up and shoved it in her face again. She could see that it was a well-worn piece of parchment with an island sketched on it with quadrants and some odd writing along the border. It took her a moment to realize with a shock of excitement that it was written in Greek. (Which she never would have realized if the drunken pirate had not been holding the map upside- down.) "No one knows 'ow te read it yet. But I'll find someone w'o can." The man said then mumbled, "I don't tink Sparra has no one te read it either." Where have all the H's gone?
But when Thalia reached for the map the old man stuck it back down his britches and said, "Ah-ah darlin' if yous wants ta see it again you got to go lookin' fer it." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and pushed Thalia onto the dirty mattress kissing the side of her mouth. His old hands groping her feeling for what lay under her raggedy bodice. She was forcing herself not to scream when she began to hear real screams coming from the other girls on the floors below hers. With another crash her door was broken apart by a group of three rough and tumble men, lead by one with dark kohl lined eyes. The old man and turned to stare at the men who had come through the door and when the old man locked eyes with the kohl lined ones he made a little squeak and fumbled over Thalia off the bed.
The old man exclaimed, "Jack, how did ya find me?"
The man with the kohl eyes and dread locks looked at the man for a moment and grinned, "Yer a very lousy thief Hermann. And need I remind you that I'm Captain Jack Sparrow?"
Thalia's eyes went wide; she had heard stories about this man from some of the other girls here. He was a wild pirate, without mercy. He actually commanded a ship that he had stolen from a man who had been called the devils cousin. The ships name could still send shivers up her spine, "The Black Pearl".
She watched transfixed as the three men with Jack spread out making sure that Hermann couldn't escape. Once Hermann realized what was about to happen he sighed heavily and pulled out his sword. "Dis is te way it be then Jack?"

"Aye." Said Jack. Hermann charged straight at Jack, who pulling a gun out of his waistband shot him through the chest.
The old man, Hermann groaned and fell to the ground. Thalia let out a small scream of horror and with that small sound every pair of living eyes in the room turned toward her. "Well, well, well what have we here?" Jack said sauntering up to Thalia wrapping a finger in her short brown hair, "A boy in fancy dress?"
"I ain't no boy." She said a little breathlessly. She pulled her head away from his hand and trying to back away from the large pirate.
Jack merely walked toward her forcing her backward until she hit the wall he bent down to look at her, "Really? Prove it."
Thalia's eyes widened and said, "What?"
The men standing behind Jack echoed him, ""e said prove it."
"No." Thalia said resolutely.
"You would've proved it to old Hermann here. Wouldn't you?" Said Jack gesturing at the body on the floor.
Thalia blushed hotly and said "'e paid."
Jack smiled as he saw her color rise and said, "Well as it is Hermann here stole that money from me along with another very important bobble. But that would mean that if it is my money and Hermann won't be around to use it then I paid fer you."
Thalia's eyes widened and said hurriedly, "I know where t'e map is."
The four men were looking at her very intently now smiles gone. "Where is it then?" Jack asked her.
Thalia frowned and said, "I dunna think I should tell ye."
Jack grinned again and gestured to one of the three men behind him. That man must have been the biggest man Thalia had ever seen and when he strolled forward he picked Thalia up by her neck with one hand and held just above the ground.
"Do ya think you should tell me now?" asked Captian Jack raising an eyebrow.
Thalia who was holding onto the big man's wrist with both of her own hands nodded and she was immediately put down. "But ye have ta promise ta let me live afta I tell ye."
"I promise." Jack said. Then, since he was out of character anyway, after she told him he broke his promise and killed her outright.
"It's in his britches." Thalia said simply.
Thalia fought hard not to laugh as every single one of their faces dropped, "If you're joking luv it's in very bad taste." Said Jack.
"Swear on me mothers grave." She said back.
Jack glanced at another one of his men and said, " Hob's you get it." Hob's turned a pale shade of green but nodded once and going over to Hermann's body retrieved the scrape of paper.
Jack smiled as Hobbs handed it over to him and Jack placed it in his coat, "Now gentleman if you'll excuse me and the lady for a few minutes." The men all snickered to themselves looking at Thalia and walked out of the room, leaving Jack and Thalia alone. "Now, where were we luv?"
"We weren't anywhere. Captain and I would like it if ye would just leave."
"But I still have money ta be used here." Jack said moving his right hand over Thalia's collarbones.
He leaned into kiss her when she said hurriedly, "I can read the map fer ye."
Jack again stopped dead only an inch away from her lips, "Can you now." He whispered at her.
"Aye." She whispered back. "I see a chance for us ta help each other Captain Sparrow."
"Aye? And what's you're proposition then?" Jack asked keeping his close proximity to Thalia.
"Take me on yer ship with ye. Away from 'ere and I'll 'elp ya find yer treasure." She paused, "Of course I will be wantin' a fair share of said treasure."
Jack smiled evilly at her, "If I let you on my ship and feed you and give you a share of the treasure what do I get?"
"What do ya want?"
That was obviously the wrong question to ask because when she did Jack leaned in a barely touching her neck with his lips he breathed in deeply. Sending shivers down Thalia's spine. "I know the reputation of this place." He glanced sideways at her; "If ya be my personal 'company' on the ship then I see nothing wrong with given you a share of the treasure."
"Thirty percent." Thalia stated.
"Five." Jack said back.
"Twenty five." Thalia said.
"Seven." Jack retorted.
"Must I remind you that I am the only person you know that can read that map?" Said Thalia to Jack.
"Fifteen then. Take it or leave it. I'm sure I can find someone else who can read it somewhere."
"But not someone who can read it and do this." She slid her hands to either side of his face and brought him down for a low, nerve-melting kiss. (She had been taught well.)
"Aye. I don't think that very many people can do that." Jack said a huge grin spreading across his face. *headdesk* Also, just curious... since Sue's so virginal and untouched... just how did she learn to be an incredibly skillful whore? No practical exams in whore school?
"So we have an accord then?" Thalia asked.
"Aye an accord." Jack said sticking out his hand to shake her little one. "What's yer name little one?"
"Thalia Rhodes." She replied.
"A pleasure to make your acquaintance luv. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."
A little while later Thalia found herself in the captain's cabin of the Black Pearl as anchor was being weighed and the sail being unfurled.
"What am I doing?" Thalia thought in a moment of panic. But it was too late now, and at least she wouldn't be forced to let any and all men that could pay the price to rub their dirty, horrid bodies all over her. "No." she said to herself, "Just one." She thought back on Jack and figured well she could've done worse. And she still had a couple of aces up her sleeves. After all she had been trained to make men into her own personal slaves, "I think I can handle one pirate Captain." She thought smiling.

Canon and Sue are both raped.

CHAPTER 2

Thalia smiled smugly and went over to the cabin door but found that it was locked. She could feel her skin turn hot as the anger raised her color. "You bastard!" She yelled kicking the door as hard as she could. Because when you agree to be someone's kept-girl you certainly expect to be allowed to roam freely whereever the hell you want. "Ow!" she yelled hopping up and down on one foot. She realized she looked ridiculous and stopped putting her throbbing foot down gingerly. She let out a sound that was half growl half scream and went to sit back down on the bed in the cabin. "Bloody pirates!" She lay down on the bed and finding it surprisingly soft closed her eyes. I've never understood line ganking. And I probably never will.
Thalia had been sleeping in fits on the gouche bed that took up a good portion of the cabin. She was awoken by the sound of breaking glass and drunken laughter. She had heard that sound nearly ever night in Tortuga. She rolled her eyes, "I bet their celebratin'. Damn their dirty hides!" She got off the bed and strolled over to the windows of the cabin, it was dark outside, the sky brilliant with stars. "How long have I been asleep?" she thought a little frightened. Falling asleep in the bed of a Captain of a pirate ship probably hadn't been the brightest idea. But agreeing to be his kept-girl was? Sorry. I forgot. Sue-logic. She went back to the door and tried it again; still locked. Her fear washed away in a tide of anger. Thalia was going to give that man Jack Sparrow a piece of her mind when he came to unlock the door. *headdesk*
She walked back to the windows on the far side of the cabin and looked out at the dark ocean. She might have been there a half an hour before she heard the lock in the door turn and a dark shape come in, closing the door behind him. "Captain Sparrow?" Thalia asked. She then went straight for him berating him for locking her in his cabin when she was a guest on his ship. Apparently, she really doesn't understand the concept of being. someone's. whore. When she got close enough to see his face in the dark she stopped talking. Jack was drunk, drunk and dangerous.
"A guest?" Jack said. Thalia took a step back his breath was so coated with rum. Jack continued, "Yer not a guest luv. You're here for a spacific purpose. Speaking of which." At least OOC!Jack knows what's what. he trailed off gripping her shoulders and bringing her to him for a kiss. Thalia was taken by surprise by this. She knew she shouldn't have been but still. Jack smashed his mouth to hers, forcing her mouth open with the force of the kiss. She gasped as she felt Jacks tongue slip into her mouth. Probing her and looting what he found. Uhm, ok. Raise your hand if "Ew."
Thalia put her hands to his chest and forced him away. She slapped him and said, "What in hell fire are ya doin'?"
"Exactly what I'm entitled to do luv." Jack said glowering at her darkly, "Or is it that your memory so bad that you forgot our deal?"
Thalia said coyly, "But Jack you only said personal company. Which means that all we agreed upon was me spending time with ye." I hate when the Sues think they're clever.
"Aye maybe." Jack replied, "But I get to choose what we do during that time."
"I don't remember agreein' ta that."
"Hidden stipulation luv." Jack smiled moving toward her again.
Thalia's eyes widened as he closed in. She fumbled backwards and tripping fell onto the bed.
"Now that's more like it." Jack grinned at her pulling off his belt and hat and walking towards her.
Thalia suddenly remembered what a red headed woman at the Shark Bait had told her about men, "Make 'em feel like dey 're in control. But keep yer head and ya can make any man crawl over glass fer ya." If she wanted to survive this voyage intact she realized the only way to deal with the Black Pearl's good Captain. She stood up slowly and moving toward Jack said. "My laces are too tight, would ya get them fer me?"
"With pleasure luv." Said Jack pulling a knife out of his boot he quickly cut all the laces and pulled the ruined bodice off her.
Thalia and let out a gasp as the knife sliced dangerously close to her body. She looked down at the wreckage that had been her bodice and said, "Yav ruined the only outfit I 'ave ya know."
Jack, still befuddled by the inordinate amounts of rum he had imbibed looked down at the piece of cloth then said, "I'll get you a new one." He threw the knife down sticking it in the wooden floor and pushed Thalia back down onto the bed with himself on top of her. He kissed her again but this time Thalia didn't fight, she opened her mouth to his and met his tongue with her own. She bit his lower lip just enough to get a sound a low moan out of Jack. He was pulling off his vest and shirt and began to fumble with Thalia's own undergarments, before Thalia could stop him. She didn't want them to lose the cloths so quickly. The slower they went the more likely this drunken pirate would pass out before he robbed her of her virginity. *headdeskheaddeskheaddesk* She took hold of Jacks hands and said between passionate kisses, "Not yet. Not yet." She kissed her way over Jacks cheek- bone feeling the scratchy bits of beard as she continued down his neck over his shoulder. She bit his should lightly Jack breathed in quickly in surprise. His own mouth found the pulse point on her neck and sucked hard. Thalia's eyes nearly rolled into the back of her head her own mouth now giving out a moan. Jacks hands went back to trying to undress her; she again pulled his hands away. But this time Jack's brought his hands back and with a growl tore her top undergarment off exposing her pale chest to the room. Her breasts were small, Jack had seen (and felt) bigger but he too knew his way around the body of the opposite sex. He kissed her chin and continued to plant wet kisses down until her found one hard nipple. Jack latched onto it, sucking like a baby while her other breast was entertained by Jacks hand. Thalia moaned loudly and that only made Jack's attentions redouble in effort. She slid her hands into Jacks dreadlocked raven hair and gripping it pulled him to her for another long kiss. "If this is what all the girls had been talking about she never would have jumped right in." she thought dazedly to herself. She felt Jacks hand sliding up her skirt, pulling the skirt up with his hand.
Somewhere around the time Jacks hand was fingering the top of her thigh Thalia realized hazily that she had lost control of the situation. Not very professional of her, but then again she wasn't really a 'professional'. Her skirt was up around her waist and she felt Jack fiddling with his britches when a shot of fear went through her, "No, wait." She said but Jack cut off her protests with his mouth. He pushed into her and she let out a muffled scream into his mouth.
He pulled away from her and in the moonlight she could see his dark lust filled eyes, "Now that was unexpected. Keeping secrets love." He whispered at her grinning. Thalia felt tears running down the sides of her face Jack licked at the tears as he rocked into her. The pain had only lasted a moment but Thalia continued to cry until Jack had finally finished and pulling out of her rolled onto the bed and fell asleep. It hurt Thalia to move but she managed to pull one of the sheets around her body and curl up at the far side of the bed still crying softly. You mean the way I cried at this horrible violation of Jack's character?
When she awoke light was streaking into her eyes and she rolled over to escape the glare. But that put her face to face with a still sleeping Captain Jack Sparrow. She slipped off the bed and even though she was soar she went looking for something to put over her upper body since her bodice and undergarments were ruined. She found a large stained shirt in one of the cupboards in the cabin. She grimaced distastefully at the shirt but it was better to where it than nothing, even if it did belong to Captain Sparrow. She looked at him for a moment before turning to look at herself in a mirror mounted on the wall. She took off the shirt and slipped out of her skirt and studied her own body. Just a few bruises, but she still looked the same; she had had some odd notion that she would look different somehow. But she was still Thalia, short brown hair, small breast and odd aqua eyes.
She heard the bed creak and spinning around she saw Jack starring at her smiling. She gasped and quickly pulled her clothing on. Jack laughed, "A very lady like and I should also say unneeded gesture luv."
Hot angry tears came into Thalia's eyes as he spoke to her, "Do ya 'ave no decency in ya?" Thalia yelled at him.
Jack pulled himself out of the bed and said smiling, "I don't think so. It's not normally a trait found in pirates."
"How can ya just sit there like nuthin' 'appened?" she continued to yell at him.
"Because nuthin' did luv. We had a bit of fun, which we will have again. Nothing to get all riled up about."
"If ya think that I'm gonna let you put yer hands on me again." Thalia began but Jack interrupted her,
"A bargains, a bargain luv." He walked over to her and said in a low voice, "The worst part is over anyway. So don't you try and tell me that ya didn't enjoy yourself a little bit." He paused, "Or were those moans just whore's tricks they taught ya at that fancy whore house?" Thalia swung her hand to slap him but Jack caught her small wrist and said, "Now let's not do that, alright? I thought that was what you were supposed to be, a whore, and you didn't help me to think otherwise." He swung her around him and tossed her back on the bed. She watched him dress quickly and said, "I'll get someone to bring some food down for you. I'll be down later to get ya to read the map for me." The door closed behind him and Thalia heard it lock behind him.
