Chapter 3

Third person Will Turner

Will awoke with a terrible headache. As he got up, he remembered the events of the previous night. The image of Elizabeth being dragged away by pirates flashed through his mind. Will leaped up and ran to the fort.

" They've taken her! They've taken Elizabeth!" Will exclaimed, running into the archway where Commodore Norrington, Governor Swann, and a few others were standing around a map.

"Mr. Murtogg, remove this man." Norrington commanded without even looking up. Yet, Will wasn't going to give up so easily. "We must hunt them down, we must save her!" Will said more insistently, pulling away from the marine. Governor Swann looked up, troubled.

" If you have any information concerning my daughter then please, share it." he said desperately

"That Jack Sparrow." The marine Murtogg piped up. " He talked about the Black Pearl."

"Mentioned it is more what he did." His counterpart, Mullroy corrected. Will jumped on this chance.

" He can lead us to it, make a deal with him." Will offered desperately.

"No," Norrington sighed. " the pirates who invaded this fort left Sparrow in his cell. Ergo, they are not his allies." He turned back to the governor. Angered, Will embeded his ax into the map.

"That's not good enough!" he shouted.

"Mr. Turner, you are not a military man or a sailor. You're a blacksmith." Norrington said handing Will his ax. Then he added in an undertone, " Do not make the mistake you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth." Recognizing defeat, Will didn't argue but the pair of bickering marines gave him an idea.

Will barreled down the stair to where the pirate Jack Sparrow was being held. Will found they pirate lying on his back.

"You, Sparrow." Will said turning to the pirate.

"Aye"

"Are you familiar with that ship? The Black Pearl?"

" I've heard of it."

"Where does it make berth?"

"Where does it make berht? Have you not heard the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail for the dreaded Isla de muerta. It's an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is ."

" The ship's real enough therefore its anchorage must be a real place, where is it?"

" Why ask me?"
"Because you're a pirate."

"And you want to turn pirate yourself is that it?" Will slammed on the cell bars.

"Never." He looked down. " They took Miss. Swann." Jack lifted himself onto his elbows.

"Oh! So it is that you found a girl! Well if you are intending to brave all and hasten to the rescue and so win fair lady's heart, you're going to have to do it alone mate. I see no profit in it for me."

" I can get you out of here."

" How's that? The key's run off."

" I helped build these cells. These are half pin barrel hinges." Will turned around and grabbed a bench. "With the right amount of leverage and proper application of strength the door will lift free." he said putting two of the bench legs into the spaces between cell bars. Jack gave Will a skeptical look.

"What's your name?" He asked.

"Will Turner."

" Uh-huh. Well Mr. Turner, I've changed me mind. If you spring from this cell I swear on pain of death , I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an accord?"Jack offered a hand to Will. Will gripped it.

" Agreed."

"Agreed. Get me out!" Will pushed down on the bench and the door came free.

" We should hurry. Someone would have heard that." Will told Jack looking around.

" Not without my effects!"

Jack and Will darted under a bridge to avoid being spotted. Will started to raced across when he slammed into something hard headfirst. Blinking the stars out of his eyes, Will saw Pearl in the water. Her hand was clutching her face and she was muttering something in Greek that didn't sound friendly.

" For the second time Turner, watch where you're going!" she scolded him as she got up. Her hand was covered blood and Will felt a panic of guilt in his chest. As Pearl stemmed the blood flow her eyes landed on Jack. Immediately, she drew her sword and attacked the pirate. Even without her face covered in blood, Pearl would have been a terrifying adversary. She began to slash expertly at Jack, who was wildly trying to dodge the shining blade. Will stepped in and grabbed Pearl's wrist to stop her from dismembering Jack. Her eyes flared as she wheeled on him, yet Will ( as scared as he was ) put a finger to his lips and pointed up to the bridge. Above, the bustle of the bridge had somewhat to understand, she freed her wrist with surprising ease and pressed herself against the wall with Will and Jack. "So." she asked calmly. "What's the plan?"Jack merely gestured to the ship floating across the bay - the HMS Dauntless.

"We're going to steal a ship?" Will asked growing increasingly worried. " That ship!"

"Commandeer . We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term." Jack corrected, pointing to the smaller ship, the HMS Interceptor. Pearl raised her eyebrow but didn't object.

"Okay, wait here a minute." she told the two. She shimmered for an instant, then vanished. Will noticed something though; Pearl had slipped her bracelet into the palm of her hand. He didn't have time to process what he saw when Jack Sparrow turned to him.

"This girl,"Jack began. " how far are you willing to go to save her?" without hesitation will be applied

" I'd Die For Her!"

" Oh good! No worries then!" before we'll had a chance to worry Pearl materialized into existence beside Jack effectively making him jump.

" That should keep them occupied. you two should find a way to get that ship quickly." she said. Jack smiled mischievously.

Snap! Will's foot went through a fishing trap. The trio were walking across the bottom of the bay. Will and Jack were breathing the air trapped in a capsized long-boat. Pearl was walking outside the boat- with no air! She explained that she could breath underwater, but didn't feel the need to explain.

" This is either madness or brilliance." Will told Jack.

" It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." Jack responded. They came up by the stern of the ship. Where Jack and Will were soaked Pearl was perfectly dry. Will guessed she would explain that when she explained everything else. Jack began to climb up the back of the Dauntless followed by Will and Pearl. Jack swung himself over the back rail closely followed by the other two.

Jack sauntered down the stairs announcing,

" Remain calm, we are taking over the ship!" The sailors laughed. Lieutenant Gillett smirked,

" You can't crew a ship with two men. You'll never make it out of the bay." Pearl drew her sword angrily.

"Son," Jack said pointing his pistol between Gillet's eyes. " I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savy?"

Will was desperately trying to do as Jack directed. Pearl was standing at the side, one hand placed on the railing. Her eyes were closed in concentration. Jack was at the helm when the HMS Interceptor began sailing towards them. Will told Jack and Pearl's eyes snapped open. They all hid as Commodore Norrington and his crew came aboard. While they were occupied, Jack, Will, and Pearl swung over to the Interceptor. As Jack ran to the helm, Will cut the rope connecting the ships. Pearl stuck her hand out over the side. A massive wave pushed the ship along.

"Thank you Commodore, for getting us ready to make way! We would have had a hard time of it ourselves." Jack shouted back, waving his tricorn hat. Before the Commodore's eyes, the trio sailed away on the fastest ship in the Caribbean.
