Prologue.
Jack was throwing buckets of water out of the sinking piece of trash boat we had 'borrowed' from Ana-Maria. She was probably going to kill Jack more than she would kill me.
I took a sip of the nearly empty bottle of rum. I pulled my tri corn hat down over my face as Jack continued to throw buckets of water out of the boat.
"Whelp you do know you could give me a hand here" Jack complained as more water seeped through the floor of the boat.
"What. How long have we know each other Sparrow and you still call me whelp. "I said sitting up and getting to my feet. I dropped the bottle of rum into his hands and picked up the bucket.
"You know that's not doing much good Will." Jack observed as he took a sip of the nearly empty bottle of rum.
"Why is the rum gone" Jack complained a minute or so later.
"Because you drank the last of it your daft bastard" I said throwing the bucket down and stood up.
"Will is that an island ahead" Jack asked.
"Aye it would be. Port Royal I'd think by the colours flying from those Navy Ships" I said looking through my spyglass before placing back in the inner pocket of my black leather overcoat.
The sight of a sinking dingy and two grown men whom where both infamous pirates in their own right standing on its mast as it sank and stoped and rested against the dock. Was a sight to behold in deed.
"Hold up there gentlemen" The dock master said before Jack and I got within a mile from the dock.
"It's a shilling. To up your boat to the dock. And I shall need to know both your names" The dock master looked back to sunken boat/dingy .
"What yea say to six shillings and we forget the names" Jack offered more like bribing to gullible fool of dock master.
"Welcome to Port Royal Mr Smith and Mr Thomas." The dock master said before he walked off with his slave of sorts.
We walked around Port Royal for about Twenty minutes. I had been here once before when I had broken Jack out of prison the night before hanging. I had a brush with the soon to be Commodore James 'Norrie' Norringtion. I had left him with a bit of a scar on his 'pretty' face.
The reason why we were here in Port Royal. Was that we were commandeering a ship for Barbossa. Jack and he where forever fighting over who had right of captaincy of the Black Pearl.
That had been before the new Governor of Port Royal had arrived and when Norringtion was a lieutenant and when Cutler Becket had been in charge of Port Royal with the East India Trading Company at his command.
We were nearing the docks when I noticed something fall from the battlement of the Fort.
"Jack did you see that" I asked.
"See what"
"Oh never mind. Stay here and out of trouble." I said before diving into the ocean. I swam against the tide and down to the sea floor. It was a young woman that had fallen from the battlements.
I grabbed a hold of her. I tried to swim to the surface with her. But the heavily material of her dress was weighing us down. I grabbed the knife my father had given to me shortly before his supposed death.
I cut the dress off her and put my knife back it's scabbard. I swam to the surface. I pulled her over to a close dock. I handed her to Port Royal Naval Marines.
"Not breathing." One of the man said.
"Move" I said moving forward and cutting her corset. I shoved the corset into the of the Marines hand. As soon as I cut the cursed garment she started to cough up sea water.
"Are you alright Miss" I asked. My eyes finding a beautiful set of soulful brown eyes. Her eyes were not as dark as my own.
"Yes thank you Mr. "She asked not knowing my name
"Will Thomas Miss." I said helping her to sit up. I felt the cold blade of a sword at my throat.
"On your feet" Norringtion growled as the girl I had saved stood and went to the man I thought to be her father.
"Commodore Norringtion stop it. W…Mr Thomas saved me from drowning." She said.
"I believe thanks are in order for the saving Miss Swann" Norringtion said with hand outstretched, I looked at his out stretched hand and went to shack it.
"Have a brush with a the East India Trading Company Pirate" Norringtion sneered as he pulled up my sleeve but found no pirate brand.
"I do believe you owe Mr Thomas an apology Commodore"
"I'm sorry for the misunderstanding Mr Thomas" Norringtion said having to sallow his pride.
"No offence taken Commodore." I said as I turned my attention to the woman I had saved from drowning.
"Good day. Miss Swann. Keep a weather eye on the horizon. My last name is not Thomas it's Turner" I whispered lowly only for her to hear before kissed her hand and left the docks.
