Chapter 2:

After the ceremony I watched over Elizabeth when I noticed Commodore Norrington take Elizabeth to a platform near the edge of the fort. I figured he wanted privacy so I watched from a distance. He fancied her yes, but I pitied my brother. He loved her so much, but at least Norrington was a good man. Elizabeth was still breathing heavy from the corset. The next thing I know, she fell over the edge of the platform into the ocean!

"Elizabeth!" yelled Norrington as he was about to jump in after her.

Me and a bunch of soldiers ran over to him to stop him before he killed himself.

"The rocks! Sir it's a miracle she missed them!" yelled Gillette.

After that we all rushed off to the docks. When we got there, a man with dreadlocks was hovering over Elizabeth.

"On your feet," said Commodore Norrington who was pointing a sword at the man.

As the man stood up we saw that one of the soldiers, known as Murtogg, was holding Elizabeth's corset. He immediately dropped it and pointed at the man.

"Shoot him!" said Governor Weatherby.

"Father! Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuer?" asked Elizabeth.

I took another look at Elizabeth's "rescuer". He had dark tanned skin and was pretty tall. Not as tall as the Commodore but he was taller than me.

"I believe thanks are in order," said Norrington as he offered his hand to shake. When he took the man's hand he pulled up his sleeve which revealed a P on his arm. "Had a brush with the East India Trading Company, did we, pirate?"

"Hang him," said the Governor.

"Keep you guns on him men. Gillette, fetch some irons."

Norrington noticed a tattoo and pushed the sleeve up further to reveal a sparrow in flight.

"Well, well…Jack Sparrow, isn't it?"

"Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please, sir," said Jack.

"Well, I don't see your ship…Captain," said Norrington.

"I'm in the market as it were."

"He said he'd come to commandeer one," said Murtogg.

"Told ya he was telling the truth. These are his sir," said another soldier known as Mullroy, as he handed Norrington Jack's stuff.

As Norrington was looking over Jack's stuff I noticed a quick glance that Jack gave me and he winked at me. I felt like I was blushing so I quickly turned my head away from him.

"You are without a doubt the worst pirate I have ever heard of," said Norrington as he finished looking over Jack's things.

"But you have heard of me," said Jack right before he got pulled along to be put in chains.

"Commodore I really must protest," said Elizabeth.

"Carefully Lieutenant," said Norrington.

"Pirate or not this man saved Miss Swann's life!" I said, finally speaking up.

"Winry, one good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness," said the Commodore.

"Though it seems enough to condemn him," said Jack.

"Indeed," said the Commodore.

"Finally," said Jack as he through the iron around my neck.

"Winry!" screamed Elizabeth.

"No don't shoot!"

"I knew you'd warm up to me. Commodore Norrington, my effects please, and my hat. Commodore!" said Jack as we slowly walked backwards. I just had to go and try to defend him. Damn my mouth!

"Winry. It is Winry, isn't it?" asked Jack.

"Not to you it isn't!" I said.

"Well love, would you be so kind. Come, come, dear. We don't have all day," he said as I turned towards him. "Now if you'd be very kind," he said giving me a smirk.

I put his hat on his head and strapped on his sword and so on. I wish I could have just punched him!

"You're despicable," said Elizabeth.

"Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, your friend here saved mine, we're square."

"Bastard," I simply said.

"Foul language for such a cute girl. Gentlemen, m'ladies, you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!" said Jack as he pushed me towards Elizabeth and ran off.

The soldiers went after Jack and Elizabeth and I were taken back to the house. We were both tended to but as soon as everyone realized that there was nothing wrong with me I went back to working. I noticed that Elizabeth had this blank look on her face ever since we got home so I decided to find out why.

"What's on your mind miss?" I asked.

"The Commodore proposed," she said.

"He proposed! Well congratulations!" I said.

"Yes, thank you Winry," she said with no enthusiasm.

"You don't sound very happy about it,"' I said.

"Of course I'm happy! It's just…I'm a little shocked is all."

"Okay, well, did you give him an answer?"

"I fell over the edge before I could say anything."

"Well would you say yes?"

"I…need some time to think," she said.

"Okay well I'll stop pestering you then," I said before leaving her room.

While outside I heard that Jack was caught at Mr. Brown's Smithy! That was where Will worked! I hope he is alright I thought to myself. I figured that Will probably fought Jack because Will is an excellent swordsman. He taught me how to use a sword so we were equally matched. But knowing everyone else here in Port Royal they probably gave the credit to Mr. Brown. I never really liked that man. He seemed to be nothing more than a drunk.

I thought about the pirate, Jack. I felt like I hated him with a passion. I felt like I hated a pirate, but was it true. Was it okay for me to hate a pirate? After all, I have the blood of many pirates flowing through me.
