Disclaimer: I do not own anything Pirates, sadly but I do own 'Captain' Rose Nightingale. I hope you enjoy and Please review if you can! XD
There I stood, Captain Rose Nightingale, just in front of the hangman's noose. How the navy found and caught me, I will never know and probably wouldn't have time to find out as the man read out my sentence for committing the 'acts of piracy'. I had lost my ship due to Beckett and now was about to face the noose, what a great day I was having.
The executioner placed the ropes around my small neck as I stood confident, staring past the crowd, with not a glimpse of fear. Then some people caught my eye, I saw the governor, Norrington the commodore that caught me, and then the vile Beckett, all watching me. I smiled and bowed my head, showing them that I was not bothered and I didn't want to give them the satisfaction, especially with Beckett standing there. The drums started to roll, and at the corner of my eye, I saw the executioner placing his hand on the lever. I closed my eyes, tightly, as the drums got louder. Then, something strange happened. I felt the noose round my neck, loosen and I flashed my eyes open. I saw the navy pushing there way through the crowd. I quickly looked at the executioner and he winked at me, the only choice was to trust him, whoever he was, after all he was helping me escape.
I followed this mysterious man into the empty fort with the navy marines following close behind. We got to the side of the fort that was over looking the sea. The man grabbed my hand and talked to me for the first time "Only option, love"
The voice struck me as someone I had meet before, but there was no time to think about that as Norrington ran behind us. I quickly nodded my head in approval of the idea and we both leaped off the cliff and into the ocean.
I held my breath under the ocean water as I struggled to get back to the surface, as I wasn't the strongest of swimmers, especially after jumping off cliffs.
I gasped as I reached the surface, catching my breath. I looked round and saw the man close behind. The man ripped off the dark black robes of the executioner's uniform and I couldn't believe who it was, out of all people or well, pirates.
"Jack Sparrow!" I exclaimed as I paddled in the salty water.
"Captain, love" he smiled
"Why did you help me escape?" I wondered
"Just in the neighbourhood, looked like you needed rescuing Captain Rose "he answered
"I could have saved myself" I muttered
"Grand job you was doing, love" he grinned "Now where be you're ship?"
"In the depths, thanks to Beckett" I answered
"Ah, he's got a habit of doing that" replied Jack, looking a bit sad and he shook out of it "We better go ashore, find somewhere to hide"
We got to the shore, and hid by some barrels under a small bridge. We heard footsteps approach and then voices.
"Norrington, get you're ship and be sure you catch them once and for all!" a voice ordered, and we both knew it was Beckett. I saw their shadow, just where me and Jack were hiding so I pressed myself more against the wall, as I did not want to get caught after just escaping.
"Vile pirates, some day I will get rid of them all" Beckett carried on.
"You can try" mumbled Jack
"Did you say something?" asked Beckett
"No, sir" answered Norrington
"Hm, will go along then and get them. The sooner you go, the sooner their see that noose again" snapped Beckett as Norrington went to get his men ready.
"How are we going to get out of here?" I asked
Jack thought, and looked round the bay. I saw the two ships and I knew what he was thinking as I smiled "Commandeer?"
"Aye" he grinned
Jack then got up to see if the close was clear, which it was as the Navy were setting up their ships. We ran along the edge of the as we kept a look out. We got the to the other side of the port, without getting caught, and to our luck, the ship was based right near the edge of the jungle, which made it easy for us to swing on by some vines, it sounded really bizarre, but it worked.
