Yay, a new story. Hope you all enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
The ship known as The Black Pearl was sailing through uncharted waters and in the middle of a hurricane. The ship's captain Jack Sparrow was still at the wheel and didn't seem ready to let go.
Gibbs came from behind and put a hand on his shoulder. "We really should drop the anchor sir," he yelled through the wind.
"We'll be fine. Trust me" he yelled back.
Suddenly the ship lurched forward and Jack stumbled back. He fell backwards and into the sea with a loud splash.
Will Turner was working his way through another sword delivery. This time Norrington wanted it right away onto his ship which was going to search for Jack. He wanted an extra one just in case. They saw him coming and let him board.
"Got your new sword Commodore," Will said handing it to him.
Norrington examined it (as though he knew better than Will about good swords) and nodded. "Thank you Mister Turner. On your way."
The dock was very slippery but Will had other things on his mind. Such as the lovely Miss Swann who he was going to visit right after he was finished. He didn't see the piece of saturated rope just lying there. The fall was quick and lacked the grace to which he was refined to. He hit his head on the ground and fell into the water.
A few men dived in after him but they resurfaced without him. "He's gone."
Elizabeth and her father were off in the carriage to visit one of the wealthy people of the town. This was a spur of the moment thing and she had told Will to come by. Now he was going to walk all the way there for nothing.
"I should've left him a note."
"What was that dear," her father asked.
She had been leaning on the side staring out the window. She sat up right away and didn't answer. The carriage stopped and the door opened. The family's house was very expensive looking and it was almost right on the beach. The carriage went away and Weatherby took his daughter's hand and they went to the mansion together. He knocked and a maid answered.
"We are the Swann's ma'am," Weatherby said.
She nodded, allowed them to come inside and announced them to the others in the room. The occupants were rather young. If Elizabeth were to guess their age, she would say they were about the same as Jack Sparrow's.
The man had short black hair and a wide smile on his face. "Weatherby, how good of you to join us," he said.
"Please, have a seat," the man's wife said. She had long and luxurious red hair and blue eyes that seemed to sparkle.
"And you must be Elizabeth. Well I'm James and this is my wife Virginia."
"Gin for short."
"Pleasure to meet you both," Elizabeth said. She sat down next to her father and they were both handed a cup of tea. Pretty soon, the conversation turned to political matters that Elizabeth tuned out.
I wonder what Will's doing now, she thought to herself.
"Elizabeth?"
She came out of her daydream and looked at her father.
"The Graders wanted to know that if you'd like to then you can go outside for a bit."
"Oh, well then thank you."
"This is all just stuffy adult talk anyway," Virginia said sipping her tea.
Elizabeth went quietly out the front door and stood in awe of the waters of the ocean before her. She made sure no one was looking before she took off her shoes and stepped into the water. The water was chilly which she found to be very odd since it was a hot and sunny day. She walked a bit; picking up her skirts and went only as deep as her ankles. Suddenly, something grabbed her and brought her below. She felt like she was falling. Elizabeth tried not to scream as lights and colors danced before her eyes. She felt herself black out as her head suddenly hit something hard and green.
Will Turner felt nauseous. His head was killing him and he was lying on something soft and comfy.
"Doctor, he's waking up."
Doctor? He opened his eyes and saw two people standing in strange white coats in front of him. "Where am I?" he asked in a raspy voice.
"You're in Corpus Christi Medical Center," one of the men said before using a weird light on a stick to look at his eyes.
"What's your name," the other asked with some paper in front of him and a very odd looking quill.
"Will Turner."
"Do you know what state you're in?"
"State?"
"Country?"
"Country?" Will thought about it, and he didn't know anything. "I don't know...all I remember is my name."
The two doctors looked at each other. They started whispering to each other. "We're going to have to get an MRI."
"This is very strange indeed."
"And did you see those clothes he came in wearing."
"Yes, this is a very strange day. I win the bet, you owe me dinner."
Will didn't pay attention. He felt like he should remember something but nothing came to mind.
What's going on, he thought worried.
Elizabeth Swann found herself in the middle of a park. She could hear voices saying things around her but that was about it. She felt someone nudge her and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Good morning Miss, are you alright." It was a kind looking woman who appeared to be in her mid to late 50's.
Elizabeth tried to stand up and almost fell right away.
The woman held onto her to help keep her upright. "Easy dear, you've got a bit of a bump on your head."
Elizabeth was about to thank her but the woman continued to talk. "Such an interesting outfit my dear. Did you come from a costume party?"
Elizabeth looked down and found herself in a dress and a corset. Everything was a little dirty but that was about it.
"I'll take you to the hospital. What's your name?"
"My name's Elizabeth Swann."
"Elizabeth, such a pretty name. Perhaps we should contact your parents as well along the way. Do you know your phone number?"
"Phone number? I don't believe I do."
They stopped at an odd metal carriage with no horses.
"Well, maybe we'll call them when we get there," she said opening the door.
Elizabeth just stood there not knowing what to do.
"Hurry along then, climb in."
Elizabeth got in and shut the door behind her.
"Are you from somewhere local?" the woman asked.
"I'm not completely sure. The fact of the matter is, I don't remember anything at all," Elizabeth said.
The woman looked over and frowned. "I'm a nurse and that bump doesn't look good. I'll take you to the hospital where I work."
"Thank you."
The woman shook her head. "Do you really not remember anything?"
"Not a thing but my name."
"Well, I'm Rose Williams." She extended her hand and Elizabeth shook it.
Elizabeth turned and looked at the city before her but only thought of one thing.
"Williams..."
"Excuse me sir but are you okay?"
Jack Sparrow opened his eyes and looked around himself. There was a man standing in front of him with brown hair and eyes and was very handsome.
"You wouldn't happen to know where I was son?"
"You're in France sir. What's your name?"
"Sparrow, Captain Jack Sparrow."
"Pleasure to meet you. Name's John but everyone just calls me Johnny."
Jack looked over Johnny with a questionable look in his eyes taking in his clothes and sunglasses. "You seem somewhat familiar, have I threatened you before?"
"No," Johnny said shaking his head.
"Alright, could you tell me the year?"
"2004 my good man." Jack's eyes almost came out of his head.
"2004! About an hour ago it was 1756."
"What do you mean 1756?"
Jack recovered right away and didn't say anything. Johnny picked up on it right away.
"Did you travel through time?"
"Maybe," Jack said with a sigh. He wasn't going to answer, but the man seemed nice enough.
"Why don't we get you off the streets and I'll take you to my house and a bath?"
"Lead the way."
"Boy I can't wait to introduce you to Vanessa."
"Who's that, your bonnie lass?"
"Yeah, got a problem with that."
"No."
Hope you like the beginning. Later all. (And to all Americans, I hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving)
