Hey everybody! I'm so glad you guys are enjoying the story that makes me really happy and thanks for all the complements to my reviewers. I would really like to thank Alyss Madigan for her honesty... I went back and re-edited the first two chapters. Nothing big changed just some errors, a few sentence changes and a couple of grammar issues. Keep up the reviews and thanks guys. :D Oh and this is kind of random but I have a poll on my profile for other stories I'm working on. If you guys want to could you please go and check it out and vote? I usually work on two stories at once so that would be great. Thanks and Enjoy.
I let out a yawning groan and I got up, attempting to wipe the dust off of myself. The town of Port Royal was silent due to the events the night before. This was going to be hard to cover up. I thought to myself as I looked down. I had pirate clothing on, and my hands were still bound. I snuck around a corner and found a woman's clothing store that had been broken into and looked abandoned. I crept into the store through the broken window. I highly doubted I'd be able to find a black smith soon so I mind as well choose a proper dress that made it look like I was just being proper rather than bound. I found a beautiful sapphire dress. This is when it dawned on me, how the hell was I suppose to get the dress on with my hands bound.
"You've got to be kidding me." I muttered to myself. I looked around and found a sword that had been thrown in the shop sometime the night before and abandoned.
"Perfect." I said as my thick dark red hair fell around my face. I picked up the sword and positioned it between a jam in the wall. With a small trick that Jack had taught me and a bit of luck, I broke one of the metal links, setting my hands free. I quickly put on the dress thankful that it covered the remaining cuffs. I picked up a satchel that had been abandoned on the floor and put my pirate clothes in it. I secured the sword that I had found to my waist and set out upon the broken down town of Port Royal. Navy guards were running around and trying to get things back in order. I heard a bunch of men raising their voices at each other about a woman, not caring since it had no affect on me, I kept my stride to no where.
"Of course." I muttered to myself and passed them. Men fighting over a woman, that's original. Huh... They look to be the Governor and his royal guards.
"That Jack Sparrow. He talked about the Black Pearl." one of the guards said. I stopped dead in my tracks as soon as his named was mentioned. My heart jumped out of my chest. I hid behind a wall where I was out of sight but could still hear what was going on.
"Mentioned it is more what he did." a man said.
"Ask him where it is. He could lead us to it." the man who was yelling before said.
"No. The pirates who invaded this fort left Sparrow locked in his cell, ergo they are not his allies." a vaguely familiar voice said. "Governor, we will establish their most likely course."
"That's not good enough!" the man who yelled before yelled making me jump a little at his sudden outburst.
"Mr. Turner, you are not a military man. You are not a sailor. You are a blacksmith. And this is not the moment for rash actions." the vague voice said. They walked closer to the wall I was hiding behind. Turner, Turner, Turner... where is that name from... I repeated the name over in my head again and again. It's so familiar, yet not the same man with the familiar voice. "Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth." I went back to paying attention to the conversation in front of me, rather behind the wall next to me.
The man I presumed as Turner stepped down from the slightly elevated ground and walked off, not even noticing me standing there. I watched him walk away, he looked vaguely familiar as well. I looked at the guards they were back to planning their epic voyage to get this Elizabeth woman. I ran after this Turner man.
"Mr. Turner." I said. The man turned to me confused.
"Do I know you?" he asked.
"You mentioned a man, Jack Sparrow, when you were conversing with the Royal Navy. Do you know his whereabouts?" I asked with hope in my heart that I hadn't had since I was a little girl.
"Who are you?" Turner said.
"My name is Jacquelyn Delahaye, I need to find Jack Sparrow." I said not being able to hide the desperation in my voice let alone the single tear falling from my eyes.
"Fine." Turner said. We walked with a fast pace to the prison cells a few yards away from where they were.
"How do you know Sparrow?" Turner asked.
"He's my lover." I said as I played with the cuffs around my wrists. Turner seemed reluctant now he knew my involvement with Jack.
"So you're a pirate?" he said with a hint of disgust.
"Yes, I am. Learn to deal with it. If this is truly Jack, we will help you find your Elizabeth, if you set him free." I said. Turners eyes twinkled at her name and nodded. "You love her very much, don't you?" I said as we approached a door. He stopped and turned to me.
"I will not take this harassment from a pirate." he said with venom. I gave a low growl at the audacity of this man. I grabbed my sword from around my waist and tripped him to the ground before he could open the door. I walked over to him pointing the sword to his throat.
"I may be a pirate, Mr. Turner. But I am one of the most trustworthy, more understanding pirates in the Caribbean. If you treat me like the low-lives you THINK we are, I'll kill you right now and spare me the trouble later." I said with as much venom as when he had called me pirate from before. He nodded shocked that he had been defeated by a woman. I nodded and held my hand out to him placing the sword back on my hip. He took my hand and stood up.
"By the way, it wasn't harassment it was a genuine question coming from a person in a similar position." I said. He gave me a look and we walked through the door, we both ran down the stairs.
"You. Sparrow." Turner said as I stood behind him in shock. My body froze at the man in the prison cell. Jack was alive! I had spent the last couple of years thinking he was dead and here he is lying on the floor in a cell.
"Aye." he said as he looked up to Turner, not noticing my presence. I couldn't help but let my tears of joy fall.
"You are familiar with that ship. The Black Pearl." Turner said. I rolled my eyes and pushed past him, I stood in front of Turner.
"Enough with this Black Pearl nonsense, how do you think I got here. I already made the deal with you. Set him free!" I said getting impatient. I wanted to be in my lovers arms.
"Jacquelyn?" Jack asked as he stood up and walked over to the cell door. I turned to face him more tears falling from my eyes.
"Oh, Jack. I thought you were dead." I said I hugged him through the bars.
"Aye, I thought Barbossa killed you." Jack said in as much disbelief as I was in.
"Touching. Can we get a move on?" Turner asked.
"Why do you want to go after the pearl?" Jack asked Turner.
"They took Ms. Swann." he said.
"So, it is that you've found a girl." Jack said, I looked at both men back and fourth, not knowing this conversation. "Well, how do you suppose to get me out of this cell."
"These are half-pin barrel hinges. With the right leverage and the proper application of strength. The door will lift free." Will said as he placed a bench to the cell door.
"What's your name, boy?" Jack asked suddenly curious. I realized that I myself did not know his name.
"Will Turner." he said. I looked at him then to Jack.
"That would be short for William, I imagine. Good strong name. No doubt named for your father." Jack said. I pinched his arm as he let out a slight squeal. I shook my head at him.
"Yes." Will said intrigued now.
"Uh-huh. Well, Mr. Turner spring me from these cells, and my lovely Jacquelyn and I will take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass." Jack said.
"Do we have an accord?" I asked looking Will straight in the eyes holding out my hand once again to him.
"Agreed." he said with a small smile.
"Agreed. Get me out of here." Jack said. Without much effort Will pushed on the bench and the door came free with a good amount of noise.
"Hurry, someone might have heard that." Will said as Jack and I embraced into a kiss.
"Not without my affects." Jack said breaking the kiss and heading off to the place where his hat, sword and pistol were held.
