Chapter 6: Commandeering & Will's Father
*B-POV*
Jack and I stayed behind Will as much as we could, but it was kind of impossible, considering that Jack was leading us. So, this unfortunately meant that Jack and I had to separate, in order for Will not to become suspicious. In the end, we all ended up underneath a bridge by the docks. Jack had his eyes on one of the ships. I was in front of him, while Will was behind him. And, without the latter knowing, Jack had his hand on my hip.
"We're going to steal a ship," said Will. "That ship?"
"Commandeer," corrected Jack. He pointed at a different ship, "We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term." He then turned to face Will, removing his hand from my side. I was automatically saddened by the loss. "One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going. This girl, how far are you willing to go to save her?"
"I'd die for her," Will answered straight away.
Jack turned back around, "Oh good. No worries then."
Somehow, I later found myself underwater, under a boat, with Jack and Will behind me. It was quite annoying really; my dress kept drifting up to around my upper thighs and whenever I tried to wrestle it back down again, Jack would smirk (I could see him from the corner of my eye doing it).
"This is either madness or brilliance," commented Will from the back.
"It's remarkable how often the traits coincide," Jack replied.
I heard a loud crunch and stumbled back a bit; straight into Jack. He was steady, didn't sway an inch, but he did give a quiet grunt, which I don't think Will heard. Although, it wasn't surprising really, my backside did just ram into him.
"Steady, love," he murmured to me as he placed one hand on my waist. I smiled secretively to myself.
After much more undersea walking, we boarded the ship that I soon found out was called the Dauntless. We climbed onto the deck with Jack in the front.
"Everyone, stay calm," he announced. "We are taking over the ship."
Will came up from behind me with his sword ready and called the most stupid thing in the world: "Aye, avast!"
All of the men laughed while Jack gave him a look that clearly said to shut up.
"This ship cannot be crewed by two men." Um, hello?! I'm here too, you know! "You'll never make it out of the bay."
Jack just took out his pistol, pointed it at the man's nose and grinned, "Son; I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, savvy?" I muffled a giggled and could see Jack's grin widen. Again.
After much fuss, Jack and Will managed to get the men onto a small boat. I, on the other hand, was searching the waters: I could have sworn I'd heard some splashes a moment ago. But, alas, there was nothing there. Maybe I'm losing it…
*Third person*
"She's looking again!" hissed Alice, making the Cullens all duck down further into the water.
They had all followed the three underwater, though they hadn't needed a boat as they didn't actually have to breathe. They had just swum a good distance behind them, and when the three boarded the ship, they all listened to what was happening. Of course, they had made some minor ripples and splashes in the water which, unfortunately, Bella had heard.
Thankfully though, she wasn't concentrating on them anymore. Instead, she was looking with a smile at the ship coming towards them. Edward was still fuming at the back, saying how despicable that pirate was, "touching my Bella like that!" The others had learnt to simply ignore him now.
*B-POV*
"Here they come," I called to Jack, as the ship set sail. We waited until they were right next to us, and when they swung onto our ship, we did the same onto theirs. Well, Jack and Will did. The former just grabbed me and let me hang on for dear life.
Soon enough, we were on the Interceptor, as I soon found out. Jack and I stood at the helm, while Will cut their ropes and removed the gang planks. Jack waved back to Norrington.
"Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make way. We'd have a hard time of it by ourselves."
They started shooting at us, so we all ducked. But, in a few minutes, we were off.
Jack and I still stood at the wheel, and Will was somewhere around. I looked at Jack.
"Why's Barbossa Captain, Jack?" I asked, searching his face for answers. He didn't take his gaze away from the sea.
"I'd rather not talk about it, love," he replied in the end. I was going to say something, but Will spoke up. He was sharpening his swords, sitting on a barrel.
I didn't listen to the conversation between him and Jack. Only when Jack turned the ship so that Will was hanging over the water, clinging to a yard, did I pay attention.
"Jack!" I scolded. "Get him down!"
He ignored me. "Now as long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can't do. For instance – you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that someday. And me, for example, I can let you drown but I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy?" Am I invisible today, or something?! Jack made the yard swing back, letting Will fall onto the deck, and held out his sword for him. "So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?"
Will took the offered blade and Jack pulled him upright.
"Tortuga?" guessed Will.
Jack grinned, "Tortuga."
Oh wonderful! Now I get to be groped by drunken idiots because they think I'm a whore! I should probably stick closer to Jack or Will. Well, Jack will probably have loads of wenches after him (to slap him or sleep with him, either way), so maybe Will would be better. Plus, he won't get drunk, that's for sure. Will it is then.
*Third person*
The Cullens continued to follow the three to Tortuga. None of them were sure what that was exactly (Emmett guessed excitedly it was a treasure cave), but nonetheless, they were going to stick with Bella.
AN: I apologize for the length, I will definitely try to make my chapters longer. Sometimes, though, it just HAS to end where it does - don't ask why. Anywho, I hope you liked it and thought that my added jokes were funny, if only a little :] REVIEW! x
