PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE HALF-BLOOD'S BREED

CHAPTER 1- Christa and James

"Come back here you scoundrel!" the villagers yelled after the fleeting form of a young girl about fourteen. With a sack full of stolen food slung over her shoulder, she was racing home to her ship at the dock. "Thief! Stop!" Turning around, she stuck her tongue out at her followers. That just seemed to make them angrier. Smiling to herself, she turned down the alleyway.

She could clearly hear them thundering down the pavement after her still. 'Losers,' she thought, 'They don't have nothing else to do.' Turning a corner, she came to a dead end. "Uh-oh." she said. Grinning like madmen, her pursuers strode purposefully up to her.

"Trapped now milady?" They sneered. Looking around frantically, and idea popped into her head.

"Looks like it, huh?" she said cockily.

"This is the day we have finally caught the daughter of the famous pirate Jack Sparrow!" They all laughed manically.

Rolling her eyes, she said loud enough for everyone to hear, "It's Captain Jack Sparrow! And, you will remember this day as the day you almost caught the daughter of Captain Jack Sparrow!" Laughing, she jumped through the window into a blacksmith's shop.

"There she goes! After her!" By this time the British guards were notified and the soldiers now continued the pursuit.

Cleverly hidden behind some poles of metal waiting to be wielded, she held her breath waiting. The guards followed her path through the window and stopped as the blacksmith himself walked into the room. "Problem, gentlemen?" He addressed the troops.

"Mr. Turner, a pirate has slipped into your shop and we were just looking for her. If you find her, please notify us at once." one of the soldiers said. A beautiful young woman strode up and put her arm on Will's shoulder.

"We will surely do so, if we find a pirate." she informed the guards. "Now if you please, we were just getting ready to finish the order of swords the Commodore ordered for your very own army." Bowing deeply to the daughter of the governor, the soldiers left respectfully. "Will, do you think that there really is a pirate? I mean, it was a girl they had indicated."

"I'm not sure." he looked around the room. Noticing nothing out of the order, he turned back to his wife. "I don't see anything."

"Father!" someone from within the house called. "Mother! Come here quick! There's something I have to show you!" Quickly the two of them left the shop and went into the house to answer their son's call.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Christa crawled from out of her hiding place. 'Now to get back to the Pearl.'

"What is it James?" Elizabeth Turner asked her son who was leaning over a piece of parchment.

"Oh, never mind. I already put it away." James smiled at them.

"Okay dear. Well, we best get back to work." She and Will left the room.

Putting the parchment away, he quickly ran downstairs and out the door slipping on his over coat in the process. He had seen the commotion in the alleyway and knew there actually was a pirate on the loose. Searching the crowd for any sign of her, he finally saw a dull colored bag slung over the shoulder of a girl and knew that he found what he was looking for.

Trailing after the pirate, he followed her all the way to a hidden dock near the outskirts of the town. There he saw the most wonderful ship he had ever seen. Noticing the black sails in a glance, he remembered the stories his father had told him about the Black Pearl, a pirate ship with black sails. He ran up and grabbed the girl's arm. "So there you are, pirate!" he said.

Turning around in alarm, she yanked out of the boy's grasp. "Who are you? Why did you follow me here?" she asked fearfully. She pulled him under the cover of the closest sand dune.

"You broke into my father's shop. You're the pirate who everyone's looking for." James pointed out.

"If my mother finds out you followed me, she'll have my skin." she turned around hearing footsteps behind her. "Dad?" her eyes widened.

"Ah, this is the first time a villager has trailed you daughter." Jack Sparrow smiled. Turning to the boy, he asked, "You look familiar, have I threatened you before?"

"N-no." he stammered.

"Who's your father?" Jack questioned him further.

"M-mr. Will Turner, sir." James gulped.

"Ah, Will Turner." Jack smiled. "So how are Will and Elizabeth?"

"Good, sir." James eyed the pirate suspiciously.

"Well, we have to set sail, but tell your parents I said hello." he turned to Christa, "Let's go." She nodded and quietly followed.

Watching the two pirates walk off, James stood perplexed. 'That was the Captain Jack Sparrow!'

A/N- So how'd you like it? I just had to start off the story by introducing the main characters but I promise that the story will get more exciting. R&R!
