Intertwined Paths

Jack spotted Port Royal off in the distance."Ladies!"he called to Lucy and Elizabeth.They nodded, having spotting Port Royal too.The dignhy was all set with paddles, food, drink, and some money for them to buy their lady needs.Lucy and Elizabeth lowered the small boat into the water and they hopped in after it."And Elizabeth, don't forget the chest!"called Jack to them.He waved his hat as the two women rowed towards land.

Lucy was confused by Jack's last comment, but she ignored it."So tell me, Lucy, what was it like growing up with Jack?Not that I'm trying to intrude,"Elizabeth asked after several minutes of silence."Well Jack always kept me busy.You see Jack always kept me busy as a child.He loved to be with the sea, and I liked to be with him.He was made to be a pirate from the start and I saw it.Mom unfourtanly saw it too and she wanted her children to be good workers and get lots of money.She always tried to get Jack to join the East Indian Company like James, but he never wanted to.He did evntually join, but that pushed him to be branded so that made him be a pirate, the one thing mom didn't want him to."Elizabeth laughed at the last words.Lucy talked about gowing up with Jack and they rowed up to Port Royal's docks.With unloading everything and putting them into sacks the two women headed into the busy towns.

Elizabeth was happy to be in Port Royal, Lucy not so much.She hated the mad hustle and bustle of the town and she hated the way the company stuck out everywhere.Lucy kept a sharp eye out for Lily or James.Nothing, but Lucy couldn't give up.People seemed to be heading somewhere, so Elizabeth and Lucy followed the crowd.They headed for some type of fort thing, and Lucy knew it was part of the company's.Little did she know that this whole ceremony was for a certain Sparrow...

James Sparrow took a deep breath as he waited in the shadows.People were pouring in for the big ceremony, his big ceremony.He was finally being promoted to Comodor Sparrow, or Comodor Smith.He didn't want people to know that he was related to two big pirates, Captian Teague and to his horrow his twin Jack Sparrow.Only Lord Beckett knew of Jame's secret and James trusted the lord to not spill.He scanned the crowd and saw Lily, his sister waving at him.At least one Sparrow turned out good, James thought.James looked for more people he knew, and for a second he thought he saw the brown hair of Lucy Sparrow, but it disappeared.Must be all that thinking about the past he thought.Trumpents roared and James knew it was time to start.He stepped into the light, ready for anything.

Lucy stood near the back of the crowd while Elizabeth had headed up front.She didn't care much for fancy smancy ceremonies.While Lucy was daydreaming, she didn't notice a person coming up to her.When someone tapped Lucy's shoulder she almost was startled, almost.Looking up at Lucy was eyes she hadn't seen for years."Lily?Lily Sparrow?"Lily nodded, but then got annoyed."Don't say my name Sparrow.People hate it here, say your Smith.Now shh, this is James ceremony."Lucy was surprised,"James?He's the reason for all this?"Lily rolled her eyes and nodded.Lucy began paying more attention to the ceremony.

This promotion ceremony is just like any others Lucy thought halfway through it.All they did was have some soliders come and do a little thingy then James would step out and recieve his sword and make it do tricks.Real intresting.James was about to be declared Comodor, when someone shouted from atop the fort walls."Hey!It's a ship, a PIRATE ship!It's probaly the Pearl!"People rushed about screaming, while Lucy's heart stopped.She searched for Elizabeth and they found each other."We need to get back to the ship,"said Elizabeth.Lucy nodded, but noticed that James was one of the people preparing to attack the ship.Oh brother thought Lucy and she ran with Elizabeth.

"Captian!It's the british!"shouted Gibbs.Jack nodded and he told them to prepare for battle.The cannons were loaded and ready to be fired.Swords and pistols were handed out to crewmembers while the boats carrying british soliders came closer.Jack thought he saw a familer face in the boats, but shook it off.I don't need to be worrying about my twin, I need to focus one this battle.

James sat in the front of his boat, watching the pirate ship sail closer.It was black with black sails, some were patched heavily.What a pathetic ship, even for a pirate James thought.Crewmen onboard the ship were frantically hustling about, getting weapons and other things.James had a smudged look on his face, I'll prove that I'm much better then these worthless pirates.James looked up at the sip once again and this time saw something different.A man with lond black dreadlocks was looking at them.His hair was held back in a faded red badanna.That looks famlier, too familer, James thought.Then he remebered he had given that badanna to his twin Jack back when they used to like each other.

"James come on!Dad's ship is in port!"Jack shouted at his brother who had been in his room for hours."I'll be out in a minute Jack!"Jack heard things being moved around in the room.Finally the door opened with James holding something behind his back."Whatcha got?"James smiled happily."You always wanted to be a pirate, and pirates need some sort of trademark.Well I bought this for ya."James handed Jack a bandanna.It was red and looked slighty used.Jack was thrilled at his gift.He tied it around his head and together the two twins ran to greet thier father.

Sorry so short.It's just that we had these big tests today in school and my brain is mush.Well the next chapter will make up for it!It's just I wanted Lily to see Lucy and sorry for all the miss spellings.I know once again my brain is mush plus it is freezing here and my hands are all numb making it hard to write.I hope you enjoy this chapter and prepare for the next chapter, which will hold a big battle scene(as you may have guessed).ENJOYY, and clicking on the review button will make me write faster.
