Nightstar and the Curse of the Black Pearl
My name is Rosemary Nightstar Barbossa. I've love the sea since I was a little girl. I love the wind in my hair, the taste and smell of the salty waves, and the sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs. On my fifth birthday my father Hector Barbossa took me out to sea in a little fishing boat. We spent the whole day on the ocean fishing and watching the waves roll in. My mother Sarah sat on the sand reading a book and would occasionally looking up to watch us with a smile on her face. When we came back to shore my father asked me if one day I would like to sail on a real ship traveling the seven seas together and also learning the traits of a pirate. I agreed with a huge grin on my face. Then my mother, father, and I sat on the beach watching the sunset.
23 years later
I walked the streets of Port Royal in a long navy blue dress, that complemented my shoulder length, dark blonde hair, which fell in curls. I was hoping to find a place to eat. It was around 11 o'clock in the morning. I had come to Port Royal hoping to find a job on one of the ships I was so deep in my thoughts that I ran into a boy with dark brown hair which was tied back in a ponytail and dark brown eyes he looked familiar.
"Sorry I should've watched where I was going," I said holding my hand out.
"No it's fine Ms.," He smiled taking my hand. I helped him back on his feet.
"I'm Will Turner and you are?" He asked holding his hand out
"Nightstar," I introduced myself shaking his hand
"Nice to meet you Ms.," Will began but I interrupted him
"Just Nightstar no Mrs. or any of that,"
"All right Nightstar it's was nice meeting you but I have to go deliver a package to Governor Swan," he said with a huge grin on his face.
"I hope we meet again," I waved goodbye as he ran off.
I walked down a couple streets and down an alley to The Captain's Daughter. I entered the pub hoping to find food and gossip about the Black Pearl or Captain Jack Sparrow. I sat at an empty table a waitress came over and I ordered the first thing that came to mind. I heard nothing about the Black Pearl as I waited. I remember the first time my father had taken me aboard the Black Pearl, my father had taken me on plenty of others pirate ships but not one as majestic and as beautiful as the Black Pearl. Her black mass whipping in the wind and the sounds of the waves crashing against the dark wood. My thoughts were interrupted by a plump man in a soldiers uniform who was obviously drunk. He was talking loudly to my waitress. He was sitting in a booth not far from my table.
"Did you hear about the pirate what was his name Jack Sparrow I think his name was. Who saved Governor Swan's daughter, Elizabeth, from drowning,"
"Yes everyone been talking about it Mullroy," the waitress replied rolling her eyes she then walked away from Mullroy to my table to give me my plate of food
"What happen to this Jack Sparrow?" I asked
"The pirates? He was arrested after saving Elizabeth Swan, he tried to escape but he failed terrible," The waitress informed me then frowned
"Why?"
" No reason just ceruse," I lied then she gave me my plate of food and shot me an suspicious glance. I ate my food slowly thinking about what I just been told.
"Jack your such an idiot but you're my idiot," I thought to myself. Wait what no I can't think like this! So Jack and I were once lovers and shared many romantic momments on the Black Pearl. Oh and the three days on Rumrunners Isle together! Doesn't mean I love him even if I did he'd just break my heart! Wait when did loveget into the picture! Pirates are suppose to only love the ocean and there rum! That's it nothing else! I finished eating and left the money on the table.
I walked the streets till after dark trying to figure out how I could spring Jack from prison. It was a little after 10 o'clock when I heard the blast of a cannon instinct took over and I flow to the ground, then I heard the roaring of men and feet running across the ground. When I looked back up I saw men fighting all around me, in the distance I saw the black pearl sitting in the water. I jumped up and pulled out my cutlass from its case and fought my way through the pirates but the strangest thing was happing. I would deliver a blow to a pirate but they wouldn't fall to the ground or cry out in pain. They would be disoriented for a moment but they wouldn't cry out in pain or die. Then I heard him
"Find the coin and the child," he commanded I started to tremble as I turned around to see he was only a couple feet away from me.
"Father," I yelled I fought my way through the crowd of people.
"Rosie," my father smiled
"What are you doing! Why are you rampaging through Port Royal?" I asked
"After you left the ship with Mr. Sparrow ,Bootstrap and the crew had a little argument," he explained
"Caption Sparrow," I spat then continued "We didn't leave the Pearl you over throw Captain Jack and I. Leaving us on an deserted island to die!," I snarled " And what did you do to Bootstrap?" I hissed
"Well we tied Mr. Bootstrap to a cannon and pushed the cannon overboard leaving him to drown for eternity," he explained with a devilish grin on his face
"You monster," I screamed thrusting my cutlass at his chest. To my horror he pulled the sword out of his chest and through it at my feet.
"No use Rosie I'm already dead," he grinned and then everything went black.
I woke the next morning lying on the hard ground. My head hurt like mad someone must've hit me with something. I got up and walked down the street seeing something in the distance. Lying on the ground was Will Turner.
"Will," I yelled running towards him.
"Will are your alright?" I asked as he struggled to his feet.
"I'm fine it's Elizabeth I'm worried about," he said
"What happened?" I asked
"The pirates they took her!," He exclaimed "And I'm going to save her," he yelled even louder
"How are you going to do that all by yourself?" I asked
"I don't know," he confessed
we sat in thought for a couple minutes then he asked "Will you help me?"
"Yes," I smiled
"Thank you," he smiled back. Then he got up and told me to follow him grabbing my wrist we ran off together.
Will slammed his fist on the table and said
" They've taken her. They've taken Elizabeth,"
Commodore Norrington turned around stared at Will and I. He then turned to a soldier and commanded
"Mr. Murtogg, remove these hooligans,"
" We have to hunt them down, we must save her," Will declared
The Commodore looked like he was about to say something to Will when Governor Swan finally broke from his staring contest with the floor.
"And where do you suppose we start. If you have any information concerning my daughter, please share it," the soldier Murtogg standing in the corner spoke
"That Jack Sparrow, he had talked about the Black Pearl,"
Then I heard this soldier behind me speak
"Mentioned it, it's more like he did," I recognize the man's voice it was the soldier from the pub Mullory was his name.
"Ask him where it is! Make a deal with them, he can lead us to it," Will snapped Commodore Norrington looked frustrated
"No the pirates who invaded this fort left Sparrow locked in his cell, they are not his allies. Governor, we will establish their most likely course," Commodore Norrington explained I was shocked to hear this. Yes, my father was a cold man but he wasn't heartless! He helped other pirates when they needed aid but even if my father did help Jack. He wouldn't return the favor Jack would probably try to reclaim the Black Pearl. That's probably why he didn't help Jack I thought to myself.
"That's not good enough!" Will protested
"Mr. Turner, you are not a military man, you're not a soldier! You're a blacksmith and this is not the moment for rash actions! Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth," Commodore Norrington exclaimed and with that Will walked out the door with me close behind him.
Will ran across town to the jailhouse. I grab him before he could go any further
"What are you doing?" I asked
"Saving Elizabeth if Jack sparrow is the only way that I can save her. Then I'm going to do whatever it takes," he told me
"Ok," I said hoping he knew what he was doing. We snuck across the yard and open the door that led to the stairs which led to the bottom half of the jailhouse. Thank the Goddess of the Sea that the guard was fast asleep! There in the last cell was Jack! He was lying on his back. I saw a bone in the lock. Goodness Jack must be desperate if he tried picking the lock!
"You Sparrow?" Will asked
"Aye," Jack nodded
" You familiar with that ship, the Black Pearl?" Will asked
"I've heard of it," Jack smirked. I was standing on the stairs to where I could see Jack but he couldn't see me.
"Where does it make berth?" Will asked
"Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories? Caption Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded "
"Isle De Muerta," I said from the stairs
"Who's there," Jack demanded
"Oh Jack don't say you've forgotten me already," I teased coming out of my hiding spot
"Rose," Jack whispered. My breath caught in my throat when he said the name that I only let him call me.
"In the flesh," I smiled. Will came over to me and whispered with a bit of spite in his voice
"How do you know him and I thought your name was Nightstar?"
"It's a long story I'll explain later," I replied
"Yes, Isle De Muerta it's an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is" Jack explained
"The ship was real enough! Therefore it anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?" Will asked
"Why asked me," Jack smiled looking at me. I begged Jack with my eyes not to tell Will that I was a pirate.
"Because you're a pirate," Will frowned
"And you two want to turn into a pirate yourself," Jack laughed I sighed and nodded my head in thanks
"Never! They took Ms. Swan," Will hissed
"Oh, so it is that you found a girl! I see. Well if you're intending to brave, hastened to her rescue and so win the fair lady's heart well you'll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me," Jack explained
" I can get you out," Will said
" How is that the keys ran off?" Jack asked
" I helped build the cells, these are half pin-barrel hinges," Will then ran and picked up the bench and placed at the bottom of the cell door "With the right leverage in the proper application of strength the door will lift free ," Will explained
"That all you had to do!" I exclaimed
"It's not as easy as it looks," Will laughed
" What's your name?" Jack asks
" Will Turner," He replied
"Well, Mr. Turner, I've changed my mind. If you springy me from this cell I swear on pain of death, I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an agreement?" Jack smiled holding out his hand
" Agreed," Will said taking his hand and shook it
" Agreed ,now get me out," Jack told Will, there was a loud crash and Will lifted the door free
"Hurry someone will have heard that!" Will pointed out throwing the cell door to the side. Then ran up the stairs I was about to follow him but Jack stepped in front of me.
"I've been wondering where you were," he said
"Well you know here and there mostly following rumors about the Pearl," I smiled "I've missed you," I whispered sweetly
"I've missed you too love," he said with a smile that almost killed me. He leaned down and kissed me tenderly. I smiled against the kiss and I never wanted it to end but then Will yelled from the top of the stairs
"Come on we don't have all day," we both ran up the stairs together holding hands.
