The Sunny Sparrow 3
Well here's our 3rd installment of the Sunny Sparrow Series! Enjoy everyone and once again thanks so very much to my very awesome PT and co-writer, kurounue13! Love ya!
The first few chapters will be shorter than usual, but don't worry the long chapters are not far away! I want to be able to separate enough of the story so it's not such a sort little story anymore. Enjoy the adventures of Jack and Sunset!
And just to clarify anything you recognize I don't own. I only own my OC Captain Sunset Fauna.
-Jack-
"Take me with you, Jack. Please. He won't find out, I promise." Victoria said to a young Jack Sparrow as she clung on to him. "Victoria, I can't, no matter where we go he will find you. It is safer for you in land, my darling." he kissed her forehead. "The harsh life of the sea is no place for a beautiful flower like you."
"Jack, please, I'll be safe as long as I'm with you. As long as I'm in your arms, I'm safe, I know I am." she said. The young dark haired boy looked at her. "I will come for you. Tonight." Victoria nodded. "Please, Jack. Come back for me soon. Very soon. I must see you again." she said desperately. "I shall. my precious flower." he kissed her long and hard. "I love you." he said. "I love you, Jack, so very much." she said before she let Jack go. Jack ran off towards his ship. He vowed to return the moment the sun had set.
Later That Night...
It was now sunset and Victoria was waiting at the docks for her Jack to return. She anxiously waited, Jack had better hurry. It wouldn't be long before her father found her. She knew her father would be out at the docks any moment now. He always came out at this time of night to check on the ships and make sure none were stolen.
She had her cloak on to hide her face as she hid in the shadows. She'd been waiting for Jack for over an hour before she finally saw his ship getting close to the docks.
"Victoria!" she gasped as she heard her father call for her. She turned and looked at her father. "Father, I was just-" she started. "You get over here, we are going home right now!" he grabbed her arm. "Victoria!" she heard Jack's voice. Victoria looked between both Jack and her father. "No, father! I've been seeing Jack secretly for months and I want to be with him." she said defiantly as she took her arm out of her father's grip and ran over to Jack.
Jack had his sword out and had it pointed it at her father. "Victoria, go, my father is waiting for you." he said. "No, Jack, I'm staying with you." she said. "Victoria, don't argue, love." Jack said. "Jack, I'm staying with you. I won't leave your side until the day I die!" she said stubbornly. "That can be arranged!" two shots then rung out and Jack was struck in the chest. "FATHER STOP!" She screamed at her father as she ran to stop him. "I will not let you go off with some sea rat's brat!" he roared as he loaded the gun again.
"Run, Victoria, run!" Jack pleaded. Victoria looked between her lover and her father as she tried to grab the gun from her father. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS, FATHER! I LOVE HIM!" she yelled. "You only think you love him!" he yelled. "NO! I KNOW I LOVE HIM!" she screamed before she took Jack's sword and pointed it at her father. "You don't have the guts, girl." her father said.
"Victoria, please run!" Jack begged as he lay on the ground in pain. He never felt so weak. She had tears in her eyes as she threw the sword down and ran to Jack as she checked on his bullet wounds. "No, Jack, I have to make sure you get well."
"Please," he begged her. "Please run I'll be fine, love, just run for me." Victoria gave Jack one more kiss before she stood from him. "I'll always love you, Jack." she said. "I love you too." he said. She turned and started to run. Jack watched as her father then took aim with his gun. "VICTORIA!" Jack screamed as the gun went off. Victoria's head snapped backwards as the bullet hit her square in the back. "NOOOOOOOO!" Jack yelled, his eyes were filled wih tears as he watched his beloved fall to the ground.
"Jack." she said weakly, feeling the breath disappearing from her body quickly. He got up and stumbled over to where she lay. At that time, Jack's father came and shot Victoria's father in the head. "My love," Jack said as his voice trembled as he held her. "Jack, I'll always love you." she let out a final breath as she whispered to him. "Be happy, darling." before she became cold as ice and her eyes closed.
"No!" he cried out. "No!" he held her body against his as he wept, his cries of anguish filled the night.
Jack's eyes opened as he was met with a blinding sun in the sky. He covered his eyes as he sat up and found that he was on the Black Pearl. He didn't see anyone around, not a soul was seen or heard. No crew, no wind, and most heartbreaking...No Sunset.
"Jack." he heard a voice he never thought he'd hear again. He shook his head. "No, can't be." he muttered to himself. "It is, Jack. Please turn around, darling." the woman's voice said and Jack turned around as his heart all but stopped as he looked upon his first love. Victoria.
"Victoria..." he trailed off, in disbelief. She looked exactly the same as she was when he last saw her. "How are you here?" he asked. She smiled. "The locker has many tricks." she said. He stepped closer to her. "I have missed you, love." he said softly. "I know Jack, just as I have you." she held out her hands to him. He took her hands. "You're not an illusion." he said softly. "I'm real because of your memories of me. As I said before the locker of Davy Jones has many tricks."
"I do have to tell you something, love." Jack said. "I've found someone, and she makes me happy. Very happy."
"I know my love." Victoria said with a blissful smile. "You do? How?" he asked. She put her hand over his heart. "I can feel it, and I can see it." she said. "I felt guilty at first for loving someone other than you, but Sun...she makes me feel complete, Victoria." he said. "I just wish I knew where she was."
"She is here." Victoria turned and pointed to a familiar mast sticking out several miles away. "She is there. Go to her." she said. Before Jack could say another word, Victoria disappeared. He quickly went to the side of the ship as he grabbed the rope and slid down it as he stood on the hot sand. "SUNSET!" he called to her.
