That evening…

Anna walked out into the night, where Will was waiting all smartly dressed up.

"You looked wonderful!" smiled Will

She was wearing a dark red dress that had cream extracts, and her hair was pinned up neatly in a bun.

"Not to bad yourself" she laughed

They walked into the governor's household, where it was full of people, mainly from the navy. Will immentidently went over to see Elizabeth and Anna walked over to where some of the navy sailors were talking. Anna sat close by, and looked round over to them, she saw the one that came into the Blacksmith's, Gibbs was it? She thought.

"Jack Sparrow – now there's a pirate legend, the once Captain of the mysterious Black Pearl, his crew mutinied on him and he got marooned, you'll never believe how he escaped" told Gibbs

"How?" excitedly asked one of the younger sailors

"Sea turtles, tow of them. He was there for 3 weeks" smiled Gibbs

Anna had heard the whole tale of Jack Sparrow. She stood up quickly and said "Oh – Mr. Gibbs, I need to talk to you about your order, now"

Gibbs looked curiously at her and followed her outside.

"How can you be sure if Jack Sparrows alive?" questioned Anna

"I thought we was here to talk about my order?" said Gibbs, confused.

"That was an excuse to talk to you, now can you just answer the question" Anna said quickly

"I've seen him, he told me his tale" answered Gibbs

"But his a pirate, your part of the navy, why would he tell you?" she questioned

"Had no uniform on, and well I like pirates" he smiled "Why do you wanna know about Jack?"

"Where did you see him? I must know!" Anna carried on.

"Not until you tell me what all this is about!" ordered Gibbs

She stared at him for a while, unable to know what to do and then she finally said "Alright, you better sit down"

She went through her story about the kidnap, the island, Jack becoming Captain, the fight, marooned and the escape from the ship. She thought she'd leave the curse bit out, in case he thought she was insane.

"Wow, so are you a pirate?" asked Gibbs who was stunned by her story.

"Well, sort of I suppose, but please don't arrest me" pleaded Anna

"No, of course not lass" laughed Gibbs

"So, where did you see him?" she questioned again.

"Tortuga" he said

"Tortuga?" Anna asked

"Aye, Tortuga" Gibbs said again

"You've gotta help me find him!" exclaimed Anna

"I can't…I" Gibbs was then interrupted

"Please!" pleaded Anna

"How? And why can't you find him yourself? Why should I give up job up to help you search for a pirate!" he snapped and walked back into the house.

Anna sat on the steps by herself, thinking of what to do. How could she get to Tortuga by herself? Anna started to walk back to her small little house; she walked back along the beach. She looked out to the sea which was lit up by the moonlight. She looked out more closely and saw a ghostly silhouette of the Black Pearl riding through the waves. Anna stared at it in shock and ran all the way back to her ting home and locked the door. Was she dreaming? Or did she actually see what she thought she saw?

She sat up all night unable to sleep, until finally, her eyes gave up and fell shut…
