Chapter Three: An Unexpected Acquaintance and Convincing the Boss
"Bloody 'hell, you look just like…" Jack stuttered. "… like Gisele!"
"And your point is?" Izzy shot back.
"Let's just say, tha' we 'ad a few 'intimate' sessions." Jack looked away from Izzy, not wanting to meet her gaze.
"You slept with me mother?!"
"It's probable." Something clicked in Jack's head. "Oh bugger, you're why Gisele hated me!" Izzy just stared at him, not quite getting what he was talking about. Jack picked up on her befuddlement.
"Put two an' two together girl."
"I 'ave no idea wha' yer talking about!"
Lissie, who listened intently to the developing argument, realized what Jack had realized only a moment before. Without giving her conclusion away, she hinted to Izzy, "You look like Jack."
Izzy looked to Lissie. "Okay."
"You talk like Jack."
"Alrigh'."
"You even walk like Jack."
"So?" Izzy was still confused. "Oh. Oh bloody 'ell! Are ye kidding me? He's my bloody father?"
"Apparently, love. Welcome to… uh… the family?"
After the Adria's valuables had been loaded into the Pearl Lissie walked to the cabin that Jack had put Izzy into. She knocked on the door.
"Come in." Lissie pushed open the door and saw Izzy sitting on the bed.
"He's not that bad you know," Lissie said.
"Who?"
"Jack. Who else?"
"I dunno. But me mum could've saved me the humiliation an' told me tha' he's me father."
"Well, you'll grow to like him."
"I 'ope so. I don' think I'll stay though."
"Why wouldn't you? I love the sea. And if your anything like Jack, you'd love it as well."
"Yeah, well… So what's it like being on the Black Pearl? I 'eard many a tale about this 'ere ship."
"There's nothing too special about it. I think you'll fit in though, if you like rum that it," Lissie laughed.
"I take it tha' ye don' like rum?"
"No."
"I'll 'ave to work on tha' then," Izzy stated.
"Aye. I suppose you will. But that means staying on the Pearl."
"Well, I'll just have to stay then, won' I?"
One Year Later
"Honestly! I'm a bloody pirate! We're expected to do such things!"
"Lissie! You're being unreasonable!" Will Turner argued. "Do you realize that Norrington will love to have you in his hands? God only knows what hell he will do to you!"
Lissie turned to face her father. "But you and Jack…" Lissie countered but Will quickly interrupted her.
"Elisabeth, we were young! Well, at least I was." Lissie snickered at her father's comment about Jack's age. "… And I was in love with your mother and would have died for her. I can't let you enter into such a perilous situation. Norrington hates me, so in turn he'll hate you!"
"That doesn't mean anything," Lissie said, but Will held fast with his argument. She pushed her long, light brown hair behind her ear. Her piercing brown eyes met her father's own. Pleading filled her eyes. The Black Pearl creaked and swayed as it moved through the water, making those onboard sway as well.
"I really think it would be a good experience… I mean last time I checked, I was a pirate." Lissie huffed out a breath.
"So? A good experience? Really?"
"You weren't that much older than I was when you first commandeered a ship."
"I was with Jack. And yes, I was a fair few years older than you."
"So? That doesn't mean I'm inadequate to do it."
"Yes it does."
"No!"
"Lissie, I've told you time and time again. A flat out no, you cannot!"
"But…"
"Well, well, well," Captain Jack Sparrow said as he pushed open the cabin door. "Ar' ye still rantin' on about the girls commandeering tha' ship?"
"Yes!" Lissie and Will exclaimed at the same time.
"I know me own whelp'll do it, and Lissie 'as the stubbornness an' curiosity o' 'er mum," Jack stated, "So they'll be no stoppin' 'er."
"So you expect me to let my only daughter go to a port bursting at the seems with naval officers, and commandeer aship right under their bloody noses? While the bloody ass Norrington is there?" Will's face started to turn red.
Jack thought about it for a minute. "Yeah, that's basically it."
"Is it jus' me, o' do you really hate that Norrington bloke?" Izzy questioned as she entered the room and sat down next to her father. When looking at the two pairs of fathers and daughters, it was uncanny how similar they were. Lissie had her father's gleaming eyes and was known to act irrationally in pressured situations. Izzy, on the other hand, had inherited Jack's hair, the obsession to wear kohl heavily under her eyes, and the mad, loving obsession to drink barrels of rum.
"Shut it Izzy. Now Lissie, your mother would have had my head on a silver platter if I were to let you do what Jack and Izzy want you to do. I'm sure Jack would agree with me on this," Will turned to Lissie with a pleading look in his eyes. Jack just looked completely oblivious and obviously in a drunken state of mind. He nodded in agreement anyway.
"That doesn't mean I can't have me own ideas about what I can and can't do," Lissie retorted. "I didn't even know me own mother so I have no idea what you're talking about… I think that you just view me as a child, waiting to be pampered and spoiled!" With the last remark, she stormed out of the cabin, dragging Izzy with her.
"She doesn't even use proper grammar. Elizabeth would have my head for that as well," Will sighed as he shrank down in his chair, thinking once more about his beloved Elizabeth.
"Loosen upa' bi' Will! Yer too overprotective o' 'er fo' yer, and ''er, own good!"
"You really are mad! Sending your daughter out on a task that she might not return from, and then suggesting that Lissie, my daughter I might add, should go as well? That is a true sign of madness," Will ranted.
Jack just stared at him. In all of Will's years of being first mate of the Pearl, Jack had never seen him so angry and upset. Will's emotions were boiling over, overflowing, like boiling water in a pot.
"She's the only thing I have left. The only reminder of Elizabeth." Tears streamed down his face; pity and sympathy washed over Jack.
For once, Captain Jack Sparrow knew he went too far. But he knew that Lissie would be heartbroken is she couldn't commandeer that ship. Jack didn't know which way to go, with Lissie or Will.
A/N: Well that's chapter three! I have the next chapter written, so I'll post it when I have 5 more reviews… Oh yeah! I'm also looking for a beta reader, so if you or anyone you know is interested, send a message my way! Thanks!
