Disclaimer: I don't own 'Pirates of the Caribbean', I only own the main girl character and since you don't find out her name this chapter I won't give it away here
Setting: All through the first movie, at this point in time the second movie doesn't exist.
Summary: What if Jack had a cellmate? What if it was a girl? How can she affect the movie? And more importantly can Jack fall in love and have a REAL relationship? Based during the first movie
AN: First Pirates Fic, so reviews are very welcome as is criticism but no flames! And I need at least a two people who want a continuation otherwise there is no point in continuing is their? The New Pirate will be the only POV in first all the rest will be in third POV, Making it obvious that the POV will occasionally change. Also it's rated M just incase.

Chapter 1 Getting Caught
His hand was attempting to get under my shirt; I really didn't like that. Lifting my hand I brought it smashing into his cheek. He fell to the floor, pulling back my hand I cringed; it stank of rum, man he must be drunk. I looked to see if anyone was watching; when I saw no one I turned back to him. Snorting I raided his pockets for money while muttering under my breath "Men, I seriously don't know how they can captain a ship with their brainless superstitions, obsession with rum and their idiotic fantasies of getting me willing into their bed."
After searching his pockets I came up with a gold ring and a few silver coins in a bag. I was still annoyed at his attempts to corner me in the alley so I kicked him in the ribs a few times until my anger had dissipated and I had heard bones crack. Grinning I put the money and ring in my pockets, pulled my hat further down to cover my face and exiting the alley.
Upon exiting the alley I quickly moved into to the shadows to avoid being seen by naval officers. I stood hidden, quietly observing the townsfolk going about their daily lives. After a few minutes I came to the conclusion that the people of Port Royal were the snobby rich folk I assumed they were making me want to leave here as soon as possible. It really was no place for a pirate.
Scene Change
At that exact moment on the other side of town Mr Timmons1 was walking across the pier when a strange image occurred. A man was standing on the crow's nest of his boat in a very dignified manner as it slowly sunk with every movement towards the dock. Not wanting to stare he looked back at his books while walking towards were the boat would dock.
He was so absorbed in pretending to look at his work that by the time he looked up the owner of the ship had left his boat and was heading towards the shore, a mumbled "What?" escaped his lips before he motioning for young Jason to pay attention. Turning to face the man he said "Hold up there you" The stranger turned at the voice. They both started walking toward each other when Mr Timmons said "It's a shilling to tie up your boat at the dock." They both looked at the boat, Mr Timmons wore a business as usual expression while the stranger had a incredulous one, however before the stranger could reply Mr Timmons said "And I'll shall need your name"
The stranger then grinned showing a few golden teeth before grabbing something out of his pocket. He then proceeded to say "What do you say to three shillings and we forget the name?" while putting three silver coins on the open book. Mr Timmons eyebrows rose as he weighed his options before saying "Welcome to Port Royal Mr Smith" The stranger bowed his head and placed his hands together in thanks. Mr Timmons then turned to talk to Jason failing to notice the strangers smirk as he pocketed a bag of coins from the signpost2 before heading into Port Royal.
Scene Change:
The man was still unconscious; somehow I didn't think he would be fully awake for another week. Turning away from him I looked back at the townsfolk. When I got bored of watching the people walk to and fro, which didn't take to long I moved out of the shadows and into the crowd. I was trying to be inconspicuous but it was a little hard when I was getting bumped by all the fancy to do people only to get blamed for it. After the fifth growled out apology I was getting a little moody, but could you really blame me? I had, had a guy attempt to rape me, had to sneak into this town as a stowaway and to top it of my favourite hat had been shot through leaving me with this stupid floppy one.
When it seemed like forever had past I finally got to a less busy part of town. With a slight smile I sat down under a tree and closed my eyes. I was almost asleep when someone prodded me in the side making my eyes snap open irritation clearly visible. I looked up into the eyes of one of the navy's finest. I was about to say something when I noticed that he wasn't alone there were four others with him. Calculating my odds I said "May I help you gentlemen." The one whose eyes I had previously met just grabbed me and pulled me into an upright position. Not expecting him to grab me I didn't get a chance to struggle before he had me in a secure grip.
Annoyed at myself for being unprepared I didn't waste time on trying to get free. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" I yelled while struggling to break out of the guys hold. "We're taking you to prison pirate" I looked up into the face of the one who spoke to me and although my face didn't show it surprise was my response well that was until rage and fury took over, they weren't hidden. It was one of the naval officers that had shot at me a month ago blowing apart my hat and narrowly missing me. My friend hadn't been so lucky; he was shot five times in the chest before a quick shot from my gun ended his suffering.
"You son of a bitch, you killed my friend" He just sneered at me before saying "A good deed I'm sure" My struggling increased adrenaline and anger coursing through my veins but before I could attempt or say anything back one of the officers hit me in the head with his bayonet and I only new black.
Scene Change:
"Move" The stranger yelled making the two naval officers look up, only to be pushed aside. The stranger grabbed a knife from his boot and cut open the women's corset before giving it to one of the naval officers who looked surprised and nervous. She started coughing and relief showed on both officers' faces. The one kneeling down with the stranger said "Never would of thought of that" The so called Mr Smith replied with a "Clearly you've never been to Singapore" He looked back down at the women only to have a look of astonishment cover his face. He leaned down and lifted up the golden medallion held on by a rope around the lady's neck "Where did you get that?" By the tone of his voice it was more a command then a question.
She looked up with a hint of fear in her eyes but was stopped from answering when the sound of footsteps and swords being drawn interrupted her unprocessed answer. A voice spoke up while putting a sword under the stranger's throat. "On your feet" It said. The stranger got up carefully ever watchful of the sword aimed at his throat. "Elizabeth" A concerned voice spoke up while rushing over to her.
Just by looking at his clothes and the way the naval men parted for him showed he was a governor3.He helped pull her up while asking urgently if she was alright. "Yes I'm fine" She replied quickly hiding the medallion before anyone noticed, turning she looked at the man who saved her. Noticing her lack of attention to answering his questions he followed her gaze. The governor looked at the man surrounded by swords before continuing to the naval officers.
The governor's eyes widened when he saw one of them holding his daughters ripped corset, the man noticing the gaze quickly dropped the corset and pointed to the stranger. The governor turned to him and said "Shoot him" before putting his coat on Elizabeth so it was securely hiding her lack of dress. His daughter just whacked her father and said "Father" in shock, before turning to the commodore and saying "Commodore do you really intend to kill my rescuer?"
The Commodore's glare at said rescuer could have melted ice, but after a brief look at Elizabeth he gave a barely visible nod making the officers sheath their swords. The governor gave the commodore a disbelieving look. The stranger however just clasped his hands in a prayer symbol while bowing his head at Elizabeth in thanks. The commodore sheathed his sword forcefully before turning to the stranger, putting out his arm and saying "I believe thanks are in order"
The stranger looked at the hand like it was a poisonous snake about to bite him before cautiously taking it for a handshake. The commodore having no intention to shake his hand grabbed it before pulling up the sleave to show a P burned on his arm. With a light smirk of triumph on his lip he said "Had a brush with the East India Trading Company, did we, Pirate?" Said Pirate winced at the statement. The governor and his daughter turned to the pirate; the governor just said two words "Hang him."
Happily following the order the Commodore's quickly said "Keep your guns on him men, Gillette fetch some irons" The man named Gillette quickly turned and walked off. Noticing a tattoo obscured by the pirate's sleeve the commodore pulled the sleeve up further revelling a picture of a sparrow flying over a sun setting. The commodore said "Well, Well If it isn't Jack Sparrow" before letting his arm drop like it was a piece of filth.
A look of slight annoyance crossed Jack's face before he said "Captain Jack Sparrow if you please" The commodore smirked and said "I don't see your ship, Captain" Jack Sparrow replied with "I'm in the market, as it were" The guard who had earlier been holding the corset spoke up "He said he came to commandeer one" The other guard quickly added not wanting to look inadequate. "I told you he was telling the truth. These are his sir" He grabbed Jack Sparrow's stuff of the ground were it had been dumped and showed it to the Commodore.
The commodore grabbed the gun looked at it and said "No additional powder nor shot" Put the gun back, picked up the compass before snapping it open and continuing "A compass that doesn't point north" He threw the compass back before pulling the sword from the sheath and examining it.
Looking up at the pirate with a slight smirk he said "And I half expected it to be made of wood" before re-sheathing it causing the officer holding the equipment to wince as it hit him. "You are with out a doubt the worst pirate I have ever heard of." Jack Sparrow grinned before saying "Ahhh but you have heard of me"
Wanting to annoy the Pirate not make him shake it of he smirked before saying "Well it seems your crew is as bad as you are one was caught lounging under a tree. It's very fitting of a pirate like yourself to have a crew of incompetents." Jack Sparrow looked puzzled when he asked "A member of my crew?" The commodore didn't even bother answering preferring to drag him over to where Gillette was approaching with the requested irons.
Elizabeth decided at that moment to throw of her coat and follow after them saying "Commodore I really must protest" She got up to them and turned with her back to the Pirate and Gillette who was putting the cuffs on the pirate, she continued saying "Pirate or not this man saved my life" He looked at her in disbelief before saying "One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a life time of wickedness" Jack grumbled out "Though it seems enough to condemn him" The commodore replied with an indignant "Indeed"
Gillette finished placing the irons on him and stepped back "Finally" Jack mumbled before throwing the irons around Elizabeth's neck, who gasped in shock and fear. Everyone went to move forward while drawing there weapons but the governor said "No don't shoot" Everyone stopped their advance "I'd new you'd warm up to me" Jack said with a slightly wild grin on his face before saying "Commodore my effects please and my hat" The Commodore paused for a second but Jack just said "Commodore" and tightening the chain around Elizabeth's neck.
He then turned and grabbed the request items from the officer carrying them. Jack then whispered in Elizabeth's ear "Elizabeth, It is Elizabeth?" she just snapped back anger lacing her words "It's Miss Swann" He grinned before saying "Miss Swann, if you'd be so kind" Her eyes widened with realisation as the commodore handed her the requested items. Rather impatiently Jack said "Come, come, dear we don't have all day" After handing them too Elizabeth the Commodore stood back.
Jack quickly grabbed his Gun and pointed it at her head before turning her around to face him. "Now if you'll be very kind" He said. Anger clear on her face she buckled up his belt. Jack looked at the Commodore and smiled in just the right way to make the Commodore look away in disgust, only serving to make his grin widen. When she tightened his belt low on his waist he slurred out "Easy on the goods darling" She put his hat on before curling her lip and saying "Your despicable" He just gave her a blank look before saying "Sticks and Stones luv, I saved your life, you saved mine, were square." Turning her around he addressed the Commodore, curiosity getting the better of him he asked. "Now Commodore what's this about my crew member?"
Seemingly aggravated by the question the commodore said "We found a known pirate lazing under a tree on the outskirts of town, we captured him and threw him in jail." Even more puzzled that this person was connected to him, but masking it asked "And how is this pirate connected to me?" The commodore seemed to grind his teeth before saying "He is dressed similar to you and was last seen in the area where you impersonated a Cleric"
Jack grinned at the memory before realising he had waisted enough time here and said "Well, Gentlemen, Milady, let you remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow." He then threw Elizabeth at the Guards distracting them while he played out his well thought out escape. Pushing the supposed 'crew member' to the back of his mind, he didn't think about him again until he slipped into unconsciousness in the blacksmith as something smacked him in the back of the head.
Scene Change:
I woke up with a pounding headache. After a few seconds of confusion my memory came flying back bringing my emotions with it, mainly anger. My headache momentarily forgotten I jumped up only getting as far as seeing I was in a cell before a wave of dizziness took over. I leaned against the wall behind me until I was balanced enough to stand without leaning.
I opened my eyes slowly and when I didn't see dots looked around my cell. There was hay littering the ground and it was pretty small, I grimaced. Looking to the other cell that was against mine on the left side, I saw that it had a bunch of men in it. Before I could even consider asking them something two guards entered the prison loudly and with much cursing.
Looking up I raised my eyebrows as two men came in dragging a third behind them. They stopped at my cell, unlocked it and threw him in. I looked at him curiously but turned to look at the naval men when one said "Here's your Captain Pirate, seeing you two hang together tomorrow will be an event not to miss" Before laughing and leaving the prison. I turned back to studying the man not fazed by my impending death. If it came, it came but if I was going to go it would be kicking and screaming.
He was an interesting looking man, he had tanned skin, his hair was in dreadlocks with various beads braided into it, a two part braided goatee with again beads, quiet a few rings, a great hat and basic clothes for a pirate. He clothes actually really resembled mine except for the quiet present odour of rum. But aside from the odour he was pretty good looking from what I could see.
I was brought out of my study of the pirate when one of the men in the cell next to mine said "Are you a Pirate?" I turned and grinned "Yeah, You got a problem with that?" He shook his head no. I nodded before sitting in the far right corner of the cell. I was about to pull my hat down when a different voice asked "Is he your captain?"
I didn't move but replied "I've never seen him before in my life." Which was the truth only thing was why did everyone think that? I mean you can't really judge us by our clothes can you? Well I guess the only good thing with me being known as his crew member is that they think I'm a man. Cause if they knew I was a women, well that would be a problem.
AN: How was it? Was it to long? Sorry about the real long reference to the movie but I needed to add in those little Jack being told about the other pirate bits and it was the only way I could do it. Sorry no William this chapter but he'll be next chapter I promise! Also I'm not sure if it will be Elizabeth/Will or Will/OC and Will/Liz friendship so if you have an opinion on that, tell me please. : )
Also please, please, please review, I know you can do it so push that little button down there!
1 - If you know his real name tell me and I'll fix it
2 - No idea what it really is
3 - Okay so it may not show that but it's easier this way
As always
