CHAPTER 1: The characters
Every year the East India Trading company captures hundreds of pirates, every year they hang hundreds of pirates, but ever year one gets away, and every year the East India Trading Company try to keep the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow in prison… hundreds of times!
It usually starts with some sort of treasure, some sort of reward to find out and search in his epic quest to find eternal youth and to live forever, however, every time, somehow, he ends up in Port Royal, in the same prison, awaiting the same fate… death. But for some strange reason, he seems to escape.
Port Royal is a secluded island in the Caribbean, beautiful in its nature, sultry in its charm and a little bit homely for a certain pirate. Once again Captain Jack Sparrow is in prison, this time the East India Trading Company caught him just south of Tortuga, he was trying to get a crew together to once again try to find the fountain of youth. This time, and properly the only time, Jack wasn't doing anything wrong and was having a well deserved drink with his first mate Mr. Gibbs.
"Excuse me Sir" Said a quiet voice from behind the old, rustic, moss covered bars. "I have been told to collect your affects"
Captain Jack Sparrow, being the bold and strong character he was, lifted his hat from his face, hid his compass in his pocket without her seeing and approached those same moss covered bars.
"And what makes me think I can trust such a wench like you" He said with a slight grin on his face.
"You have no choice" Said the not so quiet voiced woman. Jack grin turned into a smile…
"I like them feisty" he said, flirting with her "and who might you be, I've not seen you round these parts, and I should know, I live here!" He chuckled to himself, little did the girl know who this infamous character was and how dangerous and cunning he could be, however this girl was no ordinary girl, this was the governors daughter, she was tall, slim build and very independent, she wore an ivory coloured dress which was pinched at her waist by a corset to give her curves she didn't need, but from the world she is from most things that she had were not needed.
"My name is none of your business, affects…" she said unlocking the door and holding her hand out to collect his goods.
"Affects what?" Jack wouldn't let them go
"affects now!" she said in a stern voice. "Just give me them now please, I don't have time to be playing your silly games, I am only doing this as I was caught speaking to a group of common folk, and my father does not approve of that, but then I suppose you wouldn't know how that feels seeming as your father is probably in Davy Jones Locker!" her voice was getting sterner and sterner and she spoke…
"sorry" she said in the same quiet voice the spoke in when she had first arrived. Jack Sparrow walked up to her placed his gun in her hand but held his hand on it still. He moved close to her ear …
"Sticks and stones love…. don't loose those, ill be needing them later" He moved his head back slightly to make eye contact with her. They stared at each other for a short moment the she scurried out of the cell and locked it leaving jack still standing there.
"Its Elizabeth"… she said as she turned back round to look at the imprisoned pirate.
"No love, it's a gun.. You need some lessons on the affects your holding" He grinned.
She chuckled, placed his affects on a small table by the wall and walked up to the bars "No, my name, its Elizabeth" she said smiling
"Ah… What a beautiful name" Jack caught a glimpse of where is affects where and started walking in his cell towards the door, and Elizabeth followed.
"You best be off young missy, don't want daddy searching for you… next thing you know you'll be in here with me" he said winking at her. She was a little bit disgusted by the comment..
"Good day sir" she said as she walked up the stairs out the door, carelessly not knowing that she had left his affects on a reachable table.
Elizabeth appeared outside and her father walked up to her
"well, where are they?" he questioned, Elizabeth realised she had left them and pulled a face. "you really need to learn to not let things distract you!" Her father stormed past her and into the prison, down the stiars to the cell in which Jack Sparrow was being held.
"Elizabeth!" He shouted, she ran in almost falling down the stairs and she did and stopped at the bottom.
"Explain" he shouted again..
All that was there was an empty cell and a "P" calved into the table that the affects where on. Elizabeth grinned to herself. Her father stormed out shouting the guards to inform them of the escaped prisoner.
Elizabeth, who was still a little shocked herself to see that he had gone.
"almost as good as that infamous Jack Sparrow" she whispered to herself…
"Captain"… She swung round in fright at the word spoken..
"I'm sorry.." she said speaking to the empty room
"its captain Jack Sparrow" he said appearing from the door way..
Elizabeth looked at him in horror… walked up to him and gave him a huge slap round the face "That is for sinking my fathers ship.." she paused lifted her hand and went to hit him again when he grabbed her arm as it came towards him.
"now now.. I may have deserved that but now were even" he said still holding her hand.
"you know when you escape your not supposed to come back to the cells" she joked with him to break the awkwardness.
"I came back for one thing" he said looking into her eyes as if it was a open book to read..
"How do you know about Davy Jones Locker" he whispered, they locked eyes.
""Its pirate lingo isn't it?" she questioned him.
"No dear, it's a person.. Never mind, I thought you might have been interested in my next voyage, but seeming as you don't even know what Davy Jones is, we might have some problems" Jack began to walk away
"He is supposed to ferry lost souls at sea, and can only spend once every 10 years on land, to be with the one he loves." She said quickly..
"Ah, now that's more like it, I thought you had fire in your eyes… Go On…" he gestured her to continue.
"Davy Jones used to be a feared man, he didn't do his job properly and became a monster, but that all changed, when you went after the heart"
Jack looked a bit puzzled
"you see jack, I know more then you think, you wanted to stab the heart so that you could live forever "eternal youth" as you like to call it, but something happened didn't it jack, there was a sailor you met in Tortuga, crew member if you will, who helped you on the voyage, who you took a liking to.. "
Jack faced saddened a little bit, memories of the previous voyages he has taken he likes to keep locked away,..
"William" he murmured to himself. Elizabeth's face saddened, as she remembered the man who she has to wait 10 years for.
"Yes, William, Davy Jones stabbed him, and to keep him alive, you helped him stab the heart, giving up your eternal youth for his life. But William didn't know that he had to do a job and that he could only step foot once but every 10 years"
"and that was about 11 years ago" she said to herself silently..
Jack started to get a bit curious, how does she know all of this… "Elizabeth…."
She looked up at him almost in tears…
"he didn't come back after 10 years did he?" They locked eyes..
"how did you know?" she said in a soft voice..
"Ive been sent to find you"
"Me? Why?" she questioned..
"Will Turner is no longer your knight in shining armour! He didn't come back on land and is now refusing ferry lost souls.. Just like Jones did…" Jack explained.
"Why?" she asked…
"Remember your child?" he asked
"of course I do! Im not stupid Jack!" she said in a nasty tone of voice…
"Well, where is he… you see Will refused to ferry your son as he was a lost soul at sea…why was that?" he asked in jack's usual curious yet sarcastic voice.
… silence….
"answer me!" jack raised his voice
"Ok…" Elizabeth began to get upset.. " He died be cause I….. I killed him"
"And that's why ive been sent to find you, you see… dear William is after you, he wants you dead just like you killed his son"
Elizabeth began to become guarded, upset and agitated.
"Come with me and live, or stay here and die.. Simple, no questions asked missy is that clear.. You do as I say when I say and I will use all of my power to keep you safe"
Elizabeth nodded and they ran into the distance.
