I stood in shock as I saw my sister Elizabeth fall into the sea. She and I were from the same mother but different fathers we were only a two years apart me being the eldest. my brilliant emerald green eyes wide with worry as I lifted my skirts and made for the docks. I arrived just in time to see Elizabeth's father place a blanket around her. I pushed my way through the crowd.
"Elizabeth!" I called out rushing to my sisters side
"Evelyn?" She question with surprise as I hugged my sister
"Thank god your alright" I exclaimed
"What are you doing here?" she asked
"Well it was supposed to be a surprise visit" I said with a laugh.
"Shoot him" the governor said suddenly
"Father!" she exclaimed pulling the blanket around her
"what?" he replied innocently
"Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuer?" she inquired
"She has a good point" I stated softly. Everyone glared at me slightly save Elizabeth.
The men put down there weapons and the Commodore stepped forward
"I believe thanks are in order." he stated putting out his hand. The man looked at him skeptically before hesitantly grasping his hand. The Commodore then proceeded to pull the mans shirt sleeve up revealing the letter 'P' branded into his arm. I looked upon the man curiously he was pretty handsome a bit dirty but still very attractive.
"had a brush with the East India Trading Company, did we, pirate?" Commodore Norrington stated. I smirked slightly 'oh a pirate how exciting' I though
"Hang him" the governor stated. my heart dropped he just save Elizabeth how could the be so quick to kill him?
"Keep your guns on him men. Gillete, fetch some irons" the Commodore order. He pulled the pirates sleeve up farther
"Well, well, Jack Sparrow, isn't it?" he stated. I raise a perfectly shaped eyebrow. This gorgeous man before me was the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow? How delightful.
"Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please, sir." Jack Stated. I smirked slightly.
"Well, I don't see your ship, Captain" Norrinton stated looking around a bit.
"I'm in the market, as it were" he stated. I crossed my arms and watched the conversation with interest as I hugged Elizabeth to me, in attempt to comfort my sister.
"He said he'd come to commandeer one." one of the guards spoke up
"Told you he was telling the truth. These are his, sir" the other guard replied handing Norrington Jacks belongings.
"No additional shot nor powder." Norrinton stated picking up the pistol with disapproval.
"A compass that doesn't point north" he continued
"And I half expected it to be made of wood" he finished pulling out the sword. Jack stood there sheepishly. I giggle slightly
"You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of" Norrinton sneered
"but you have heard of me" Jack replied as if that made things better.
"Commodore I really must protest." Elizabeth interjected as they began to lead jack away
"yeah! He did just save her life!" I added as we both rushed to stop them.
"Pirate or not this man saved my life" Elizabeth stated standing in front of jack, I getting an uneasy feeling stepped behind my sister placing my hands in her shoulders
"Lizzie is right. He saved her life he shouldn't be killed for that" I snapped
"one good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness." the commodore replied. I stood strongly behind my sister my emerald eyes defiant
"though it seems enough to condemn him" Jack added in. both Elizabeth and I turned to glance at Jack
"Indeed" the Commodore stated unhappily.
"Finally" jack stated as the guard finished shackling him. He lunged forward I pushed Elizabeth to the side resulting in me having the chain between Jacks shackles around my neck I gasped in surprise.
"No. No! Don't shoot!" The governor shouted pushing through the crowd he helped Elizabeth to her feet after she had fallen.
"I knew you'd warm up to me." Jack whispered
"Oh? Did you now?" I whispered back
"Commodore Norrington, my effects, please." Jack demanded "And my hat." he added
"Commodore." he stated hurriedly
"Evelyn, wasn't it?" he asked
"that would be Miss Swan to you" I replied harshly
"Miss Swan, if you'd be so kind." he stated. I growled slightly, this is the last time I try to help a man' the thought
"Come, come, dear we don't have all day" he stated gruffly the guard handed me his things and I was turned around roughly to face Jack
"Now if you'll be very kind." he added. I place his hat roughly on his head before I slowly ran my hands around his waist securing the belt tightly. He glance at me slowly, my eyes met his with a slight smirk, before pulling the belt tighter
"Easy on the goods, love" he said in response to the sudden tightness
"you're an asshole" I whispered
"Sticks and stones love, I save your life, you save mine. We're square." he replied he turned me back around roughly
"gentlemen, milady, you will always remember this as the day you almost caught captain Jack Sparrow." and with that he pushed me forward roughly causing me to stumble into the commodore who held me up quickly.
"Evelyn are you alright?" Elizabeth asked
"yeah Lizzie I'm okay, how about you?" I replied
"I'm fine thanks" Elizabeth replied.
We watched as Captain Jack Sparrow made his daring escape.
