On My Way
The next morning I woke up in the same spot I had fallen, thank you everyone for helping taking care of me in my unconscious state, I looked up and people were hurrying all around me cleaning up from last night. I got up and walked into the jail, to find Jack was laying down, the bone in the lock, "Please, like that bone would work!"
"What makes you say that?"
"Ugh, I'm gonna go get the dog."
I left down to find that flee bitten mutt. He was very, ruff looking, but he had to be like any other dog, scratch their belly an' you're their best friend. He was hiding under a table and all I did, No bone or nothing was offer him a tummy scratch, which he accept. I took the keys and went back up to see Will lift the door off of Jack's cell.
"Look who took the loud and hard way, wouldn't these have been easier?" I asked jingling the keys in front of them.
"How'd you get them?" Jack asked.
"I have my brilliant ways, now move on out."
"Keira did you hear? Elizabeth was taken by the pirates." Will informed me
"What? What are we doing standin' here let's go get her." I said running up the stairs
They followed behind me before taking the lead. As we were walking, silently of course we reached the edge of the docks. I think they forgot I was there because when I walked up behind them as they looked out at the ships and placed my hands on their shoulders, they jumped and looked back at me. "What?"
"We're going to steal a ship? That ship?" Will asked looking at the interceptor.
"Commandeer, we're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term." He replied before turning around and looking at Will. "One question about your business boy, or there's no use going. This girl, how far are you willing to go to save her?"
"I'd die for her!" he replied sharply.
They both turned to look at me, "What you think you can get rid of me, as if! It's my sister." I said looking back over their shoulders.
We snuck over to a boat where we quickly got underneath and waited for a few soldiers to pass. We went over and into the water the boat creating an air bubble around their heads as the headed into the water. We were walking along the bottom of the ocean making our get away to the boat. "This is either madness of brilliance!" Will told Jack.
"It's amazing how often those two traits coincide." Jack replied shortly
"Yeah, well, I think the idea follows closer to the line of brilliance. I think the man is closer to madness." Will laughed at this and Jack looked back at us, I put on my biggest, cheesiest smile.
We had finally reached the Dauntless and climbed aboard and they made their entrance as I walked calmly and quietly behind them looking at all the men. "Everyone stay calm, we're taking over the ship." Jack said walking down the stairs
"Aye Avast!" Will said jumping over the rail and pulling out his sword.
They all laughed, "This ship cannot be crewed by two men, and a woman. You'll never make it out of the bay." Gillette replied looking over the men behind him.
Jack cocked his gun, "Son, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?"
We started to 'make preparations' for our voyage knowing Norrington was most likely watching. Once we stopped, Will looked over Jack's shoulder, "They're coming." He told us. Jack only smiled as we headed over to some barrels to hide.
I could hear the ruckus they made as they hurried onto the deck of the Dauntless. Norrington was shouting something but I couldn't hear. Once we knew the deck was clear, we swung onto the Interceptor where Will cut off all the ropes and we sailed away. I smiled to myself, I was going on my own pirate adventure.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I was lounging on top of a net I had made between two posts. Will was sharpening his sword and Jack was walking around checking everything over.
"I knew him. Probably one of the few who knew him as William Turner. Everyone else just called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill." They were talking about Will's father; Will had just revealed his life story, thank god I didn't have to hear that again.
"Bootstrap?" Will asked a questioning look on his face.
"Good man, Good pirate. I swear you look just like him." Jack replied.
Great, I thought, Jack is old enough to be my father.
"It's not true; he was a merchant sailor, a good respectable man who obeyed the law."
"He was a bloody pirate, a scallywag."
"My father was not a pirate!" Will said in complete denial, taking out his sword.
"Put it away son, it's not worth you getting beat again."
"You didn't beat me; you ignored the rules of engagement in a fair fight. I'd killed you!"
"Then that's not much incentive to fight fair now is it." By now I was standing next to them, and I could see in Jack's eyes he was going to do something, that would give him Will's undying attention.
He went to turn the wheel, just to swing a sail towards Will, but I grabbed the wheel and looked at him harshly. He stopped, but I didn't release it, "Will, he may not be lying, maybe your father was a pirate, and you don't want to believe it, but I know I don't want to be governor's daughter, you can't pick your parents." I walked away laying back down in my hammock.
To my dismay they weren't finished yet, so Jack continued on swinging his little sail which swung Will, hanging over the water. "Now as long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. the onl rules are these, what a man can do and what a man can't do. For example, you can accept that you're father was a pirate, a scalawag, or you can't. Pirates in your blood boy you'll have to square with that some day. Now me for example, i can let you drown, but i can't however sail this ship into Tortuga all by me onesy savy? So?" Jack raved to Will. He released him and he came crashing down onto the deck, "can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?"
"Tortuga?"
"Tortuga."
