Hey guys! So this is my first ever Pirates of the Caribbean fan-fic! And since I'm not used to writing in "pirate" talk, ill just be writing normally… with the exception of a few pirate sayings. I hope that's ok… I hope you will still like it :)
NEED TO KNOW: this takes place after they have killed Barbossa. Some things are different than the movie. For example: Elizabeth and Will are aboard the black pearl still. But they will not be going back to Port Royal like they did in the movie. They will be staying with Jack and his crew. Also meaning, they will not be getting married and thrown in jail!
Full Summary:
The kraken has struck again, destroying a women slave ship called the Whydah. But before Davy Jones and his crew can come aboard the Whydah to recruit new members, Jack and his crew rescue the one and only survivor. A slave named Francesca Jones, daughter of Davy Jones himself. Only Jones doesn't know she even exists.
Once Francesca is rescued and a free woman, she plans to have her revenge against her father. To make him pay for raping her mother and leaving he alone to raise a baby all by her lonesome. She wants him as dead as dirt. And since Jack wants the same for his own reasons, they sail together with Jack's crew to defeat Jones, once and for all. Will they succeed? Or will something get in their way?

~Chapter One~
POV:
Jack Sparrow
I was in my cabin, looking down at my compass, when my first mate, Joshamee Gibbs, bursts through my door. "Master Gibbs! Don't you know tis bad luck to be barging into a captain's quarters without said captain's approval?" I said jokingly.
"Aye Captain, my apologies. But, we have spotted a shipwreck up ahead. We all be getting a feeling that Jones is a coming. What should we do, Captain?" Gibbs said all in one breathe.
Without answering, I waved Gibbs too move out of my way. He did as said, moving away from the door. I went out to the deck with my telescope in hand. Gibbs points towards a destroyed ship. I looked into the telescope to see that the ship has been snapped in half, the inner halves in to water.
"Captain?" Gibbs asked.
"Dim the lamps. Prepare the long boat, and gather up Marty, Anamaria, Turner and yourself. We'll be looking for survivors."
"But Captain," he began. But I cut him off.
"Captain's orders, Master Gibbs!" I said in a strict tone.
"Aye Captain." He then left and prepared to go aboard the wrecked vessel.
About ten minutes later, everything was ready to go. The five of us were all in the long boat, slowly approaching the ship. It was a quiet ride there. Probably because they were all scared to cross Jones. Was I scared? Hell yes! But was I going to show it? Hell no! What kind of Captain would I be if I showed fear? Not a very good one, I'll tell you that.
I was brought out of my thoughts when the long boat came to a stop. We have finally come up to the ship. I stepped out of the boat, telling the others to follow my move. Once everyone was out, I said, "Alright, young William, you stay and guard the boat and keep a weather eye out for Jones and his terrible beastie. Marty and Anamaria, you go to the left half of the ship and look for any survivors. Me and Gibbs will go to the right half."
They all nodded in agreement and went our separate ways.
It had to be about fifteen minutes, and we still have yet to find anyone alive. But we have managed to find plenty of dead bodies. But what disturbed me was the fact that they were mostly women. There had to be about thirty of them. They were everywhere.
"I don't think we have any survivors, Captain." Gibbs said.
"Aye. We best be getting back to the Pearl." I replied.
Just as we were about to turn and leave, I heard a faint whimper. I looked down to my left and saw a woman huddled in the corner looking back at me with horror filled eyes. I couldn't quite see her since the shadows where keeping her well hidden. I walked over to her, and knelt down. But I still couldn't quite see her.
"Hello, luv." I said in a light tone, careful not to scare her to death. Though, I think she was already there. I brought my hand out to her, but she just flinched and started to shake more then she already was. "Tis alright, luv. I'm here to help you. You can trust me."
She looked at my hand warily. "Come on, luv." I said with a small smile.
She hesitantly took my hand and slowly stood up. Now I have a nice look at her. Only one word could describe the lass standing in front of me. Beautiful. She had big chocolate brown eyes that shimmered and looked childish. She had a perfect straight nose and high defined cheek bones. And her lips were nice and full. She wore a sleeveless light blue dress that hugged her full curves perfectly. There was not one flaw about this woman standing before me. Well, except for the fact that her dress was torn, she was dirty from head to toe and that big gash on her forehead.
"Come on, luv. We need to get out of here before Jones gets here," I said to her.
I saw a flash of anger cross her face. But as fast as it showed, it was gone. "Ok," she said with a slight accent. Though, I couldn't quite make out what it was.
I put my hand on the small of her back to guide her to the long boat. She seemed to stumble a bit, so I picked her up bridal style and walked over to the long boat. Once we were there, I sat her down. I sat in front of her, looking her in the eye. "You alright, luv?" I asked.
She shook her head no.
I was about to tell her that everything was going to be fine, when the whelp interrupted me. "Jack, everyone is back. But, there are no other survivors though."
"Alright. Let's head back to the Pearl."
They all agreed and we loaded into the boat. As we made our way towards my beloved vessel, I couldn't help but stare at the lass in front of me. She looked scared out of her mind, so I decided to introduce myself and the others in the boat, to make her feel more welcome. "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, luv. And this is William Turner, Joshamee Gibbs, Marty and Anamaria."
She nodded her head, looking down at her hands.
"Well?" I asked. "Aren't we gunna get your name?" She looked up at me with scared eyes. "Well, when you're ready, luv. No one's forcing you."
Once we were back aboard the pearl, I introduced the lass to the rest of the crew and asked Elizabeth to take care of the girl. She agreed happily and brought the lass to her cabin.
I gave the rest of the crew orders to get back to their jobs and for Cotton to sail to Tortuga so we can restock on supplies. And by supplies, I mean rum. Once everything was running orderly, I went to my quarters to plan our next adventure. But the whole time my thoughts where clouded with thoughts of the young lass we have saved only moments ago. The way her eyes looked when she looked at me, so filled with fear and horror. It made me want to just take her away from all the bad in the world so she would never have to fear again.
God. I sound like the whelp now.
I continued to try and clear my thoughts, when there was a knock on my door. "What?" I called.
"Jack?" it was Elizabeth.
"Ah, Lizzie. What can I do for you? Finally decide that the whelp wasn't good enough for you? Have you finally decided that you need a real man like me?" I asked only half joking.
"Jack." She sighed, pushing my comment to the side. "The poor girl has request to speak with you."
"You have gotten her to talk?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes. She was quiet shaken up, but she's fine now. She still won't tell me her name though. But I didn't press on the matter. Maybe you could get it out of her. Anyway, I've helped her clean up and gave her some new clothes to wear. She's in my cabin. Do you want me to send her here or do you want to go to her?" she said.
Normally, I would make people come to me, but there was something about this lass that made me want to go to her. So I said, "I'll go to her."
Elizabeth nodded her head and said, "I'm going to find Will." She made her way over towards the door, but stopped and turned towards me one last time. "Jack, be easy on her." She then left without another word.
I grabbed my hat and walked out of my cabin to Elizabeth's. Once I was there, I knocked on the door, waiting for approval to enter.
"Come in Captain Sparrow." She said with that accent I have yet to figure out.
I slowly opened the door, and made my way inside. Once I was fully inside, I closed the door behind me. "Hello, luv. How are you feeling?"
"Much better, thank you, Captain Sparrow," She said.
"Please, call me Jack. May I ask you a question, miss…?" I said, asking for her name.
She hesitated for a moment. I guess trying to decide whether or not to trust me. "Francesca… Francesca Jones." She said, saying her last name with such disgust. Hum… I wonder why.
"Well, Miss Jones." I began when she cut me off.
"Please. Call me Francesca. Or Frankie, if you'd like." She said. Frankie… I like it.
"Well, Frankie." I began again. But, yet again, she cut me off. But this time, she cut me off by throwing herself at me. Not in a whorish manner, but in a friendly way.
"Thank you, Jack. You have no clue how much it means to me that you saved me from that awful place. Even before the Kraken attacked I was miserable." So it was the Kraken, I thought. She continued. "You have no idea the things I went through, Jack…"
To be continued…
Thank you all for reading! Review and tell me if you like it! And please, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it at all… unless it will help me with my writing…
