Chapter one

Another beautiful day for Port Royal. This was the day many things would happen, like Captain Norrington would be promoted to Commodore, a woman would be proposed to, and a great ship would be guarded by two soldiers. Little did anyone realize that this was the day everything would go wrong all because of two pirates sailing to the port in a small boat. The captain was on the small crow's nest looking out toward the land.

A whistle was heard below him coming from a fifteen year old girl with hair that went to the middle of her back that was as dark as his, a red bandana wrapped around her head, big brown eyes, a long sleeved shirt that had seen better days, a dark brown vest buttoned to the top, deep dark navy blue pants, an old gray sash, a belt with a sword in it, black boots, and a small black fingerless glove on her right hand. He grabbed a rope and swung down to discover that their boat was sinking!

They tried their best to rid the boat of the water, grabbing a bucket and filling it with water and throwing it back into the ocean, but nothing worked. Then, they noticed an archway where three skeletons hung. The captain took off his hat and put it over his heart to honor the dead. When they saw a sign hanging along with the skeletons that read 'Pirates, Ye Be Warned!' they gave mock salutes for acceptance of the challenge.

The two then scrambled up to the top of the crow's nest as the boat slowly moved towards the dock while it was sinking. They held out their right feet and stepped right off, feeling the dock with their feet. They walked down the dock, only to be stopped by an old man and a little boy.

"It's a shilling to tie up your boat at the dock," he said, pointing to what remained of the boat, which was only the crow's nest, "and I shall need to know your names."

"Hmm. What do you say to three shillings?" the girl asked, placing three shillings in the man's book.

"And we forget the names?" the captain asked. The man thought for a moment, looking from his book and into the girl's brown eyes.

"Welcome to Port Royal, Mr. and Miss Smith." he said, closing his book and walking away. The two walked past his podium. The girl took the small black bag that was on it, held it up to her ear, and heard a jingle inside. She threw it to the captain who pocketed it instantly. They walked under a small stone bridge where no one can see them.

"That was too close back there dad." the girl said to the captain.

"Patience Jewel, we have to wait for the opportune moment to make our move. And that's what we shall make our move on." the captain said, pointing to a ship. Jewel looked at it and smiled.

"Looks like it'll make a fine pirate ship. Shallow on the draft, good sails. Let's take it." she said. The two walked along the dock and were so close to the ship they were about to steal, until two soldiers stepped in their way.

"This dock is off limits to civilians." one said

"I am terribly sorry, we didn't know. If we see some, we shall inform you immediately." Jewel said. The two tried to move, but the soldiers still blocked their way.

"Apparently there's some high toned and fancy to do up at the fort. How could it be that two fine and upstanding gents as yourselves, did not merit an invitation?" the captain said

"Someone has to make sure this dock stays off limits to civilians." the soldier responded

"It's a fine goal to be sure, but it seems to me that a ship like that," the captain said, pointing to a larger ship out in the bay, "makes this one here seem a bit superfluous, really."

"Oh, the Dauntless has the power in these waters true enough, but there's no ship that could match the Interceptor for speed." the other soldier said

"Hmmm, I've heard of one. It's supposed to be very fast, nigh uncatchable..." Jewel started

"...The Black Pearl." the captain finished. Then the two soldiers were having a little argument over whether the ship was real or not. The two tried to move, but when one of the soldiers looked at them, they stopped in their tracks and smiled. Then they had another argument on whether one of them actually saw the legendary ship or not. When the soldiers looked back at the two people, they were on the ship.

Jewel was standing at the bow of the ship, looking out at the ocean. The captain was at the helm and began talking to the soldiers when they came near him. Jewel looked up and saw two people standing on the edge of the fort high above them. She could barely make out that one was a woman and the other a man. She walked over to the helm, but paid no attention to the captain's conversation, having heard the story before. She watched as the girl fell into the water, just missing the rocks. They all went to the side to see where she fell.

"Will you be saving her then?" the captain asked

"We can't swim!" the two soldiers said

"It's up to you dad." Jewel said

"Pride of the King's navy you are." The captain said, taking off his stuff and handing it to the soldiers. "Do not lose these." The captain went up on the railing and did a perfect dive into the water. Then, the three all noticed what was like a giant ripple coming from the spot the girl landed and the winds changing speed and direction.

"Oh no." Jewel said to herself. "Oh please don't let this be happening." As the captain was saving the girl, the three went to where he was bringing her on the dock. She was dirty blonde, but her dress had to be taken off to be rescued. She was lifted onto the dock and was placed on her back.

"She's not breathing!" one soldier said

"Move!" the captain said. He went up to her and ripped off her corset. She awoke spitting out water and gasping for air.

"See dad, that's why I don't wear one." Jewel said. Then, she saw it, around the woman's neck, a gold coin with a skull on it. So many memories flooded back to Jewel's head all because of that one coin. She held it in her hand and sure enough, it was what she thought it was.

"Where did you get that?" she asked

"On your feet. Both of you." a stern voice said. They looked up to see a military man pointing his sword at the pirates. Jewel and the captain got up and realized they were surrounded by soldiers.

" Elizabeth, are you all right?" a fancy man asked, putting a coat around her.

"Yes yes, I'm fine." she responded. The fancy man noticed the corset in the hands of a soldier who threw it down and pointed at the captain.

"Shoot them!" the fancy man said

"Father, Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuers?" Elizabeth asked. The Commodore sheathed his sword and held out his right hand to the captain.

"I believe thanks are in order?" he said. When he was about to shake his hand, he pulled the captain's arm close and pushed up his sleeve to reveal a P burnt into his skin.

"Had a brush with the East India Trading Company did we, pirate?" the Commodore said. Jewel tried to make her escape, but two guards grabbed her by the arms and held on tight.

"Hang him." Elizabeth's father said

"Keep your guns on him men. Gillette, fetch some irons." the Commodore pushed the captain's sleeve up further to reveal a tattoo of a small bird in flight. "Well, well, well. Jack Sparrow, isn't it?" The Commodore threw Jack's arm down.

"Captain Jack Sparrow, if you will." he said

"I don't see your ship, captain."

"I'm in the market as it were."

"He said he'd come to commandeer one." one of the soldiers said

"I told you he was telling the truth." the other said, grabbing Jack's things. "These are his sir." The Commodore inspected the items. First, the pistol.

"No additional shots, nor powder." the Commodore looked at the compass. "A compass that doesn't point north." he pulled on the hilt of the cutlass, and heard the metal blade being unsheathed. "And I half expected it to be made of wood." Then, the Commodore noticed Jewel.

"And who would you be?" he asked Jewel. The Commodore lifted her sleeve and looked at her entire right arm, nothing. Then, he noticed the fingerless glove she wore on her right hand. He pulled it down to reveal the exact same tattoo Jack had on his arm on the back of her hand.

"Hmmm. Would you happen to be related to the worst pirate I've ever heard of?" the Commodore asked her

"I would happen to be the daughter of Captain Jack Sparrow, Commodore." Jewel said, with a little smirk at the end of her sentence.

"Governor Swann, I would like your daughter to teach young Miss Sparrow how to be a young lady, rather than a pirate while her pirate father is hanged." The Commodore then took Jack to the end of the dock to have him chained.

"No," Jewel said, "Wherever my dad goes, I go." But the Commodore didn't notice her statement.

"Commodore I really must protest." Elizabeth said, walking in front of Jack with Jewel following her, "Pirate or not, this man saved my life."

"One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness." the Commodore said

"Though it seems enough to condemn him." Jack added

"..Indeed." the Commodore said, unhappy at the fact that Jack was right. His manacles were finally around his wrists.

"Finally." he said. Then, he held the chain around Elizabeth's throat, threatening to choke her. Jewel ran behind her father, hoping he knew what he was doing.

"No! Don't shoot!" Governor Swann said

"I knew you'd warm up to me. Commodore Norrington, my effects please, and my hat." Jack said, "Commodore?" Commodore motioned for the soldier who took his things to give them back.

" Elizabeth, it is Elizabeth isn't it?" Jack whispered to the woman

"It's Miss Swann." Elizabeth hissed

"Miss Swann if you'd be so kind. Come come dearie we haven't got all day." Elizabeth received Jack's effects. Jack took the pistol from the pile and pointed it at her head and made her turn around.

"Now if you'd be very kind." Jack said. Elizabeth got the message and began putting all his things on.

"Dad, do you know what you're doing?" Jewel whispered into her father's ear.

"Just trust me luv." Jack said. "Easy on the goods there darling."

"You're despicable." Elizabeth said

"Sticks and stones luv. I saved your life, you saved mine. We're squared." Jack said. He turned Elizabeth around and began backing away.

"Gentlemen, Milady, you will always remember this is the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!" Jack said. He threw his captive at the men who caught her before she fell to the ground.

"Get on!" he quickly said to Jewel. She jumped onto her father's back and held on as he grabbed a rope that was holding a cannon up in the air. He freed the rope and in no time, they were being lifted in the air. Somehow, the next thing they knew, Jewel and Jack were spinning around in the air.

"WHOAAHH!!" They yelled while they were spinning.

"Now will you shoot them?" Governor Swann asked. All the soldiers made ready their guns.

"Open fire!" Commodore yelled. Every soldier tried to shoot the two Sparrows, but they either missed or hit the wood. Then, they swung to the top of another pole that had a line attached to it going down. Jack put his chain around the line and slid down.

"Jump off now!" Jack said. Jewel obeyed and landed on the dock, stumbling a bit, and watched her father jump to the ground and then they ran. The two continued running over the stone bridge, dodging the bullets the soldiers let fly. Then, the two ran into town to evade the hunters. For they knew that Sparrows were now in season.
