---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's early morning in Port Royal, and a ship is docking in the ports of this town. When the ship comes to a hault, a young woman steps off of the ship and ties it down to the deck leading to the town. She was a rather petite girl who, honestly, didn't look fit to command the massive ship in which she had docked; but, seeing as how she was the only living being on the ship, it had to be her who commanded it. She looked like that of a noble woman with the clothes and hair to match. She made sure her ship was secure before heading into the town of Port Royal.
She walked through the town looking at the may people of whom occupied it. She was anxious to see if she had, indeed, come to the end of her long journey. As she was walking, she heard the sound of gunfire coming from the docks in which she had come, and she had to know why someone was firing their weapon. When she reached the docks, she saw three British soldiers chasing a man around the boats and ships that were docked. She watched in amuzment of this very humorous sight for a few moments until she discovered that she knew exactly who they were chasing.
"Jack," she whispered. She, then, ran out to the man of whom she now recognized. She ran toward the four men until she stood in the middle of the soldiers and Jack.
"What do you think you're doing miss?" the first soldier asked. "Do you know to whom you are protecting?"
"Yes, " she answered,"I am saving the man who onced saved me."
Jack suddenly had a confused expression on his face. Not knowing who the girl was, Jack spun her around to face him. He looked her up and down for a few moments before speaking.
"Constance?" he asked, a little unsure of his guess.
"Yes," she answered.
"This, seemingly noble's woman, is the Constance Wellington I pulled from the seas those some years ago?" he asked.
"Yes," she replied, again.
"Well, how've ya been, love?" Jack asked, pulling Constance in for a hug.
"Fine," she answered,"but I've come here in search of someone."
"Oh really, who?" Jack asked.
"Will Turner," Constance answered,"son of William Turner."
"What do you want with him, sweet?"
"When we were on his father's ship," Constance began,"we promised our hearts to each other. I must find him, so he may know he still has mine."
Jack suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his stomach. His eyes grew in size and his mouth dropped, slightly, at the story Constance had just told them. As he was trying to figure out what to tell her, the second soldier spoke.
"Will Turner," he repeated,"why, he lives just near here."
"He lives in Port Royal?" Constance asked, hopeful. But, before the soldier had a chance to answer her, Jack pulled her to his side and walked away from the soldiers.
"Hey!" called the first soldier,"you're still inder arrest!" Jack pulled out his pistle, pointed it to Constance's back where the soldiers could see it, and kept walking into the town.
"Does Will live here in Port Royal?" Constance asked, stopping Jack infront of the blacksmith's shop. They were both facing the window, and Jack saw Will walk into view. He grabbed Constance by her arms and twirled her around so her back was facing the window.
"Well, sweet, he, uh," Jack began, but Constance cut him off.
"Jack Sparrow," she insisted," does Will Turner live here or not?"
"Captain Jack Sparrow to be exact," he corrected. Constance placed her hands on her hips to show Jack that she was tired of playing his game, and he got the message. He decided, then, that he would do the thing he was almost good at, be honest. "Alright," he started,"here's the story. Yes, pretty boy does live here, but I don't think you'll like what you see when you find him, sweet."
"What are you talking about?" she asked.
"Well, I don't think he remembers that little... heart promise ceromony you two did when you were tikes," Jack explained.
"Well, then, I shall just have to remind him," she said, walking off,"surely he has not forgotten me yet."
"That's what you think, sweet," Jack whispered as he bit his knuckle and persued Constance in her search to find a very unsuspecting Will Turner.
