Isabelle Northwood

I woke up in my cabin and looked out the window. My heart was still racing from last night and I couldn't wait to see Jack again. But first, I had to check on Lucinda. I crept out of my cabin since it was still the early morning hours and quietly stepped in to see Lucinda. She was still sleeping, of course. She probably wouldn't wake up for a few hours. Sighing, I sat on her bed next to her feet and stared at her. Her grey blue eyes were closed and her short blonde hair was spread over the pillow.

Yesterday, Lucinda said she would help me cook today. I was excited until I realized we were docking in Port Royal. I told Jack it wasn't safe but he has friends to pick up. I knew Elizabeth Swann would try to cook instead of me, so I was disappointed. I still watched Lucinda as she slept until her eyes fluttered open.

"Isabelle? What are you doing here?"

"I got lonely and bored," I said sighing.

Lucinda got out of bed and I told her I would wait outside. I enjoyed watching the sunrise, especially over water. I was scared to go back to Port Royal, so I decided to lock myself in the cabin and not exit until we were in the middle of the ocean. I couldn't risk Elizabeth dragging me off the deck and taking me to the Governor's Mansion. I cleared my mind of arriving in the bay and watched the sun rising.

Captain Jack Sparrow

I awoke smiling remembering the night before. I finally got to kiss the woman I love. Still smiling, I got dressed and headed out on deck only to hear we arrived in Port Royal early. I could see Lucinda and Isabelle looking frightened on deck.

"Don't worry," I reassured them. "Will and Elizabeth won't turn you in."

"That isn't what I'm thinking about," Isabelle told Lucinda and me. "You are wanted for kidnapping and Lucinda and I are supposedly missing!"

"We could always send Gibbs," Lucinda stated.

The three of us turned to see a very confused Gibbs. He looked scared and asked, "What did I miss?" Isabelle, Lucinda, and I only smiled at him.

A few hours later. . .

Isabelle Northwood

Elizabeth, Lucinda, and I were in the galley making lunch for everyone. Elizabeth was brewing tea, Lucinda was chopping vegetables, and I was stirring soup. Lucinda decided to break the silence and ask, "How is Port Royal?" Elizabeth responded saying it was just fine. I rolled my eyes knowing that small talk with Elizabeth was pointless.

We had to let her join us, because there wasn't a point to getting rid of her, as much as Lucinda and I wanted to. Besides, we needed someone to make us tea anyway. I sighed looking down at the soup in the pot. It was Lucinda's idea to make soup, hoping that Elizabeth and I would get along. As usual, she was in charge of the knives but this time it was so Elizabeth and I wouldn't try to kill each other.

"I can't do this," I said putting my wooden spoon down. "It is far too quiet."

"Why don't we talk to each other?" Elizabeth asked, trying to be helpful.

"Why don't we finish cooking?" Lucinda yelled. "Forcing pointless small talk is NOT the answer."

"I don't see why we can't," said Elizabeth, acting innocent. "We are all friends here, are we not?"

"No! No we are not!" I exclaimed. That was the last straw for me.

After that, Elizabeth and I fired nasty comments at each other back and forth. Lucinda was obviously disturbed. She never cared for Elizabeth Swann, but didn't loathe her like I did.

"Shut up!" Lucinda ordered. "One of you has to leave before we get blood in the food."

"Well, it won't be me," I said proudly.

Captain Jack Sparrow

I was trying to steer my beloved Black Pearl, but couldn't help hearing racket downstairs. I gave the wheel to Gibbs to see what all the fuss was about. I was scared to find Lucinda holding Elizabeth and Isabelle away from each other. I had to yell louder than they were so they would hear me.

"What is going on down here?"

I didn't get a straight answer from anyone. Isabelle and Elizabeth continued screaming while Lucinda gave me a reasonable answer.

"I'm trying to keep them from killing each other,"

I was about to respond when Gibbs came running into the galley. He wasn't hiding the fear and worry on his face.

"Captain," He began. "We have a ship approaching."

"Colors?" I asked calmly.

"White sails and the Flag of England," Gibbs said quickly.

Everyone stopped yelling and fighting to turn to Elizabeth. They all stared at her while she had a suspicious grin on her face.

"Elizabeth, what did you do?" Isabelle asked glaring at her.

Elizabeth responded with the same sinister grin, "Nothing much. It was the right thing to do."

"What exactly did you do?" I asked, not covering my fear.

"I alerted the Navy," she said walking to the stairs. "It's about time the showed up. I almost thought they were never going to join us."

Ooh! The Navy's coming! (It's all Elizabeth's fault!) Keep reading to see what happens to Jack, Isabelle, and Lucinda.
