"Elizabeth. I know William is growing and that he is looking more like Jack, so I can understand that you miss him dearly."
"I talked to him Will. I wouldn't lie about something like this. William, have you ever heard me lie about something like this?"
William smiled and chuckled for a moment. "No, but I'm waiting for that day to come!" Will smiled.
"See! He's already starting at act like Jack."
"That's how 13 year olds are Will. When he was trying to guess my name, he called me Miss Turner." But by this time Elizabeth had given up. Nothing she could say could sway Will into believing her.
"Okay now. How did I get there last time?" Jack asked himself as he strolled about the beach. "Oh yeah! After I threatened Elizabeth, I was lifted up this pole, I swung around a few times," Jack started to walk down the path he had taken 15 years ago. "Then I slide down this rope and bloody Norrington started shooting at me, so I ran across this bridge…"
Jack started to walk down the street avoiding the villagers who really didn't seem to care that a pirate was walking right past them. Yet Jack had changed in appearance over that past 15 years. His hair, unmanaged and mangy, had grown considerably in length. It now reached the middle of his torso. He had been planning to cut it, but he hadn't gotten around to it. He almost had no fat on his bone, since he had been hiding in the lower part of a ship for a few weeks since he had left Tortuga.
He had been hitchhiking on a merchant vessel for about 3 weeks. The only time that he came out from his hiding spot was when everyone had fallen asleep, and it was a risk. If he made too much noise, he could wake up a crew member and he could be killed.
As he reached the middle of town, he thought to himself. "Now…where is that eunuch?" He turned around to see the statue that he had hidden behind when hiding from the red coats. "Ah."
Jack burst into the shop. Elizabeth screamed since she had been standing right in front of it.
"Jack!" Will exclaimed.
"See! I told you!" Elizabeth pointed to Jack who looked extremely overwhelmed.
"Good to see you too." Jack answered. His eyes immediately darted to William. "Ah. I'm guessing your boy eh?" He tilted his head as he walked closer. He was almost upside down. "He's very handsome, I can give him that. I can already tell that he's not a eunuch like his father."
"You're a eunuch, Jack?" Elizabeth asked.
"No, I'm not."
"They why did you say that he's not a eunuch like his father?"
"William is a eunuch." Jack explained.
"I am not!" William blurted. Jack turned around.
"I am CONFUSED!" He put his hands down and stood as stiff as a board. "Are you saying that I am this boy's 'old man'?"
"Well that would make sense considering the fact that he looks more like you then Will. Have you forgotten that night when you took advantage of me? When I was drunk?" Jack let out a soft laugh.
"Yeah."
"So does that answer your question?" Elizabeth asked.
It does. So anyways, I was going to go pirating soon. I said to meself, 'after I get to Port Royale, I'm going to get that eunuch and Lizzie to go pirating.' So here I am. I thing your boy would be a good pirate too, since it runs in his blood and all."
"Well I wouldn't see that as a problem. I think William wants to be with his father on the open sea." Will told Jack.
"Exellent. We leave in 3 days. Now I need to get some rum."
