Chapter 4
"We're here, Captain." yelled Johnathan from the helm.
"Do you see the Black Pearl?" questioned Elizabeth.
"Aye, there she is." replied Johnathan.
"Good, We will dock here at the end. You go search for him in the Taverns. I'll go to the Pearl. If you find him, don't let him leave. I will find you." ordered Elizabeth.
"Aye, Captain. Be Careful Elizabeth." said Johnathan.
"I will." replied Elizabeth.
Elizabeth approached the "Pearl" to look for Jack. She remembered the last time she saw Jack and the "Black Pearl". She was sad then to leave him. He was a good man. She had hoped to see him again one day. Now she would get her chance, she thought. Elizabeth walked up the plank, towards the cabin, but stopped when she heard:
"Halt, Do not move sir.""Drop your sword and turn around"
Elizabeth put her sword down and turned around slowly. She looked at the two men. "These guys look familiar. Ahh, yes. They were in the Royal Navy under James' command" thought Elizabeth.
"Look mate. It's Ms. Swann." exclaimed one man.
"Ms. Swann, Let us apologize. We didn't recognize you." apologized the other man.
"It's quite alright, boys. Please call me Elizabeth.Where may I find Captain Sparrow, gents?" questioned Elizabeth.
The man blushingly replied, " He's at "El Flor Negro. It's a pub ran by Giselle."
"Giselle?" replied Elizabeth.
"Giselle is Gibb's wife." replied the man.
"Gibbs, married?" exclaimed Elizabeth.
"Aye, Miss, Going on nine years now." stated the other man.
"Very well, Good Evening Gents. I have business to discuss with the Captain." said Elizabeth excusing herself and picking up her sword. She left the ship and headed towards town. After walking past several pubs, she reached her destination, just as a fight was breaking out between Johnathan and the crew of the Black Pearl. Johnathan appeared drunk and very angry.
"I am telling you the truth. The Pirate King sent me here for Captain Sparrow." yelled Johnathan.
"Liar! Noone has seen the "Pirate King" in over a decade. You look like East Indian Material to me." yelled Murdock, a crewman of the Pearl.
"How dare you?" screamed Johnathan as he lunged forward the pirate with his sword. Jack and Gibbs made their way upstairs to escape the brawl that began between drunk men. all over the pub. Elizabeth saw Jack making his escape, but decided to save the drunken Johnathan first. She jumped in the fight, having missed the feeling of freedom when she held her sword, Norrington's sword, Will's sword.
"Who's next?" yelled Johnathan almost falling over. Elizabeth grabbed a bottle and hit Johnathan over the head.
"I just had to shut up the idiot!" declared Elizabeth.
The men cheered, having no idea that they were in the presence of the Pirate King.
Elizabeth waited as the crewmen left and she poured a bucket of cold water on Johnathan.
"What the hell?" yelled Johnathan.
"Get up! We are going to lose him." yelled Elizabeth, turning around angrily and heading towards the exit.
"I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I'm coming." cried Johnathan swaying behind her.
"Jack, do you think the man could be telling the truth? Could Elizabeth be here in Tortuga?" asked Gibbs.
"Master Gibbs, don't be absurd! Elizabeth is living happily ever after with the ex-captain of the Flying Dutchman. Probably birthing him many babies as we speak." replied Jack.
"Captain Sparrow?"
"Yes, go get me some Rum, son." commanded Jack.
"Jack, I am not your son."
"I know that voice" said Jack bewildered.
"Yes you do Jack."
"Elizabeth . Lizzie?" answered Jack.
"Yes Jack, It's me" replied Elizabeth.
"I see that man was telling the truth. I wonder though, what a married ex-piratess is doing in Tortuga without her said husband?" questioned Jack.
"Jack, The new Lord Beckett had Will killed. Will's dead. They now have declared war on us again." said Elizabeth.
"Us, meaning?" asked Jack.
"You, me, and all pirates. He wants revenge for his father." declared Elizabeth.
"Why should I fight? We are a dying breed, luv." replied Jack.
"Jack, Do it for me, do it for Will, do it for Will and my only son. The heir to the throne of all pirates. We need you, Jack. I need you, Jack." begged Elizabeth.
"What are we going to do?" asked Jack.
"Barbossa and I have called upon the Brethren Court to fight again. I am hoping they are alive and willing to fight for me again." exclaimed Elizabeth.
"Well we must rescue someone first. Chevalle is sentenced to die by the noose in a week in Port Royal. It is probably a trick to catch us. We will need a plan."said Jack.
"Port Royal. I haven't been back. Too many memories. Very well, Let's go to your cabin and make a plan." commented Elizabeth.
"After you. By the way, I'm sorry about Will. He was a good pirate and good man. The world will be a little bit darker without him." said Jack.
"Thank you, Jack. I have missed you." said Elizabeth hugging Jack and kissing him on his cheek.
Elizabeth let him go and headed towards the pearl. Jack and Johnathan walked behind her.
Jack thought" Lizzie, what cruel,sweet destiny has brought you back in my life"
