Hey everyone, this is my first fan-fic, so please do review but try not to
be too harsh hehe. This story IS going somewhere, I have the plot written
out , so you know whats happened so far has meaning to the story.
anyways, onto the stuff that goes without saying: I dont own or have any rights to the movie, the characters, etc etc but I would like to see if I could get rights to Jack hehehehe.....
ok thats it! enjoy!!
Jack carelessly tromped into the yard of the governor's mansion, only seeming to slightly notice his precarious surrondings. The muffled laughter of tired gaurds from a few hundred yards away didn't seem to knock his enthusiasm. Gibbs, the cautious man he was, clutched a pistol in one hand and a knife in the other, looking about wildly for any sign of danger or omens. The others followed thier Jack blindly, trusting his ability from past experience. Gibbs was not so easily pacified as they by a simple word of comfort from the captain. Jack nodded for Norry and Wes to run ahead of him, which they did like puppies. Jack chuckled back at thier eager reaction, to Gibbs who shook his head at the captain. He thought it bad luck to put another man in danger knowingly. But then again he also thought anything and everything was bad luck. He had been wrong about Anamaria, Jack thought to himself with a glint in his eye that no one could see.. Meanwhile, Norry crept along the bushes under the windows to the left, while Wes did the same on the right. At thier signal that all was clear, Jack proceeded jovianiantly to Norry's side and crouched down, face to face with the lad but not eye to eye. He nodded. Norry choked out a meek whistle. Jack rolled his eyes and hooted loudly. A light flickered in the window directly above them. The pirates drew thier swords...just in case. A man and woman's obviously hused voices came from the window and Jack put his sword back in his hilt. A small stone came out the above window and hit Jack square in the head. He was tempted to curse the owner of the stone but contained himself. He regained himself quickly once he saw the path leading behind the hous,e and he began to take it. He ushered the 3 other men to follow him, quietly and carefully he ensured, with his finger on his lips. every few steps, He stopped and listened, and they stopped not less than 6 inches behind him, scared and alert. He would nod every time, and continued. Sometimes he just did it to give them a fright.
Upon reaching the back of the house, he sighed happily.
"Ahh, the love birds, is it?" he said with a smile. "I supposed its official now. I just love weddings. pity I was busy trying to avoid your bloody stupid army, and had to miss yours." he sneered.
"Hello, Jack" Elizabeth said still rather cooly, but warmer than last time, as was always the case in every occasion they met. She still couldn't deny her righteous bringing up, but still acknowledged and appreciated that Jack had saved her own life, and Will's life on more than one occasion.
"Pleasure, darling" he bowed, letting the scarf around his waist and his overcoat trail upon the dew covered grass.
"And my dear sir William, hows the married life treating ye? The ladies quit knocking down ye door yet?"
Will grasped Elizabeth tightly and beemed, ignoring Jack's obvious sarcasm. "Wonderful. I couldn't ask for more. I love this woman, with all my heart, and I in--"
"Allright, allright, thats e-bloddy-nough. a simple "well, thank you" would suffice. I saw enough of your cuddling and fussing over eacother on our last little adventure to last me a lifetime thank you very much."
ignoring the cynical attitude of an old friend, Will smiled polietly and continued. "And Jack.,"
"Aye?"
You've not told us how fortune has found you."
"Ah". he nodded. "Well now. THERE's a tale worth telling, mate. " he smiled slyly., looking at will intently like drunk would look at a barkeep after his 3rd drink and his wallet'd gone down in size. Elizabeth pursed her lips, still thinking about the pirate's insensitive attitude twoards her and Will's love. "...BUT, I suppose that shall have to wait for when we are...more,...at ease, savvy?"
"Oh, of course. I had almost forgotten. this way." Will turned and began to lead them cautiously to a beaten path across from the house, through palm trees and shrubbery. Once everything was clear, they began to march down it, without looking back. An occasional wail from Norry or Wes would escape, from a thorn or some such thing.
"You two are making quite a racket there! I told you to get a bloody pair of boots in Martinique, Norry!" the captain snapped.
"Aye sir, but I thought my soft shoes would suffice, and the boots were expensive sir. No use in spending your fortune on worthless boots."
"Well I bet you wish you had them now." Jack muttered under his breath.
They hadn't been walking for more than 10 or 15 minutes when Jack suddenly smahsed into Will with a loud exclamation. Will's hand went up to silence the captain before he could inquire as to the hold up. Jack soon realized they were at a road, whch they would have to cross. All were silent as the respectable citizens of the party inconspicuously checked for night travelers.
Will's hand motioned for a forward pace again and they all ran crouched down, across the dirt, to an old wooden building.
"It's an abanonded armory..now, just used for storage." Elizabeth explained, as Gibbs looked around suspiciously.
"Aye, I remember this," he said. "Back in the day when I worked for yer father and the army here in Port Royal. Ahhh, the days..."
"Gibbs". Jack poked him and hurried him up the rickety steps. "Stories for later, mate." Will removed the dusty wooden plank from the door and carefully set it on the ground so as not to make noise.
Elizabeth lit a lamp as they walked in, and the sight surprised them. "Agador?!" she exclaimed, and dropped the lamp. It rolled in a circular motion twoards a pile of old musty grain sacks, on which two people were huddled together. The light illuminated thier faces, showing the household butler and Elizabeth's personal maid. Elizabeth gasped, her hands to her mouth. the Maid screamed and pulled her dress over her naked body, as "Agador" steppedback into his pants.
"Oh! Ms.Swan! I'm so terribly sorry! ...please forgive me, I'm begging you Miss, not to tell the governor......" the poor maid sounded like she was going to cry, as her shadow stepped back into its dress, in the corner. "but, although I have no business asking...what are you--who is---" Annabell stopped and screamed, pointing at Jack, who looked back around himself, startled, as if to see what there was to be afraid of. Agador staggered backwards and fell into the pile of grain sacks again. "You!!!" he gasped, pointed finger shaking. Jack pointed at himself frowning in a confused manner.
"SHHHH!!!!" Elizabeth grabbed Annabell by the arm. Will and Gibbs walked twoards Agador threatingly.
"Hush!" Elizabeth scolded. "Now, you've seen none of this, and I've seen none of your rendez vous, allright?"
Annabell looked taken aback.
"I have absolutley NO objections to going to my father immediatley and having you both fired or WORSE, expelled from this island and blacklisted. understood?" the maid gulped as she tried to nod.
"none of these men are in any way a threat to any person or establishment in port royal, and as the situation is such, it is not neccesary to report it. Agreed?"
Agador grabbed Annabell's hand and hurried to the door, coat in hand, as she stuttered an agreement.
The door slammed shut and Norry and Wes started whimpering.
"Close" said Gibbs. "too close."
"Now's not the time for worry and cliches" Jack said moodily, shifting his weight twoards Gibbs and and speaking in a reassuring voice to the young pirates.
"sorry cap'n" replied Gibbs dutifully.
Elizabeth bit her lip nervously. "You think she'll stay true to her word?" she asked. She hated getting into these troublesome adventures. The only reason she was agreed to this was because of her love for Will.
"At least for tonight" replied Will, taking Elizabeth by the shoulders and re-assuring her.
A long, scared silence would've ensued if Jack hadn't been the unintimidated person he was.
He yawned casually. and scratched his face. "Anyhoo, seeing as time is limited, I'll save me tale that I spoke of earlier. ...I believe we have to make some arrangments, dear William?" he asked.
After stuttering in intial shock of the way Jack went on as though nothing had happened, he nodded.
"Oh, oh yes!" he said eagerly. He had almost forgotten why they'd come. The three friends, as well as Mr.Gibbs positioned themselves around a dusty old table in the corner which the lamp had now rolled over to, on various boxes and crates. Wes and Norry stood gaurd, however incompetantly ,by the door just in case Annabell and Agador were not true to thier word.
"Well," Jack started, positioning himself in what Will often took to be the bargaining, and/or storytelling position of his."I meself went searchin for all the best spots in the carribean mate, just like ye asked. Oh it took awhile and many an adventure ensued, as I was about to tell ye earlier...he pursed his lips in thought, and let out a single grunt of amusement, before catching himself getting off topic. "Eh, at any rate, I finally found ye the perfect one. I realized after searching for months that it'd be perfect, and I had known about it all along, stupid me. its on a tiny island ol' Bill Turner would've oved it. ey? "
"Tell me about it, Jack" Will said, smiling nostagically.
"Well lets see 'ere. Its a little north of the Isla de muerta,...where he did enjoy what time he had which was not that of an unfortunate situation..." Jack made a face of regret and sorrow. "We'd gone there many a time, savvy, and we'd buried some of our most supppperb treasure there. Every time, each grain of sand was better than the last, every wave thicker and bluer. We made a good many a'camps there when we'd have hidden the rest of our treasure in the caves earlier. we had to split it up, see. Barbossa never found that little island. At that time it was evident there was somethin un-nerving about the bond between us and the rest of the crew and that was our solution to how to be secure. Yes, It was just me and ol' Bill who went all by our onesys. we were quite well aquanited, him and I. He was much less uptight than you, dear boy." he paused in remeberance. "anyways, It was wonderful on that little island. The trees covered us just enough, to sleep, but not so much that our fires would smother us. the sky even seemed brighter when we were there. And one night when the stars looked ridiculously close, William, he told me about the lady back in england. and how he should be havin' a babe someday. Right on that amazing little island. It was beautiful, William. Beautiful." his meliflous voice described the scene so well, most present could almost feel the sand. "Of course, the magic was interupted by the fact that he'd just been a lover' with your mum and not a real father, ...but the heart, oh it was there boy,dont think it wasn't." Jack realized the vulnerability he'd shown with the sentiment and frowned and sat up taller as all ears leaned twoards him, seeing him a new light, almost forgiving him.
"Well, Mr.Turner, what do you say?" he said, bold and gruffly.
"Aye! it sounds amazing Jack. we shall sail tommorow. Elizabeth and I will leave in the morn, and meet you at Tortuga the next day at noon. Take me to this island, Jack. Bring me my father."
Jack rolled his eyes. the last thing he needed was an overly-emotional lad on his ship. They tended to do stupid things, of which, he had realized from plenty of first hand experience - Will was allready perfectly capable of.
