-Chapter 11-
Sam followed Will into the crowed but he left her almost immediately to seek Elizabeth. Sam rolled her eyes and moved closer to the gallows where Captain Jack Sparrow was standing, looking a little board.
"Jack Sparrow!" the man rang out.
"Captain! Captain Jack Sparrow." he said to himself and grinned nervously at the gallow man.
Sam looked around and noticed Will talking to an awe struck Elizabeth. Jack had a piece of cloth around his hand, like she. And a green parrot flying over to land on a flag post. She smirked at watched the rest of the thing in satisfaction.
"May God have mercy on your soul." the man said and rolled up his scroll and walked off the platform. The masked guy got ready as a line in the crowd formed and a blade went rushing through and hit the trap door as it fell to almost demise Captain Jack. He teetered on the blade as Will and Sam jumped up onto the platform. Sam could have sworn she had heard a THUMP when the blade was about to be thrown but she could have imagined it.
Will started fighting the masked guy and Sam cut down Captain Jack.
Jack and Will then took the ropes and flew through the crowd of marines trying to get at them. Sam rushed after them.
She was right behind them when they were encircled by bayonets.
"Lord." Sam said as she stood there as Will and Jack hit the bayonets with their swords. They stopped and Jack started trying to spit the feather out of his face.
"I expected some sort of escape attempt. But not from either of you." Norrington said.
"When we returned to Port Royal, I granted you both clemency. And this is how you thank me? By throwing yourselves in with them lot? He's a Pirate!"
"And a good man!" Sam and Will said in unison.
Jack pointed to himself and looked pleased... and a little big headed.
"You forget your places, Turners." Norrington said with a gleam in his eye.
"It's right here, between you and Jack." Will said, standing his ground. Sam stamped her foot to show she was there as well.
"As is mine!" Elizabeth said, standing next to Will, butting Sam out of the way. Sam looked scandalized with her mouth open. Jack took his finger and slowly closed it. Sam smacked his hand out of the way with the back of her hand.
"Elizabeth!" Gov. Swann said, heartbroken. "Lower your weapons. For God's sake, men! Put them down!" he yelled as they dropped their bayonets to the ground.
"So this is where your heart truly lies?" Norrington said, sadness in his voice.
"It is." she said quietly.
"Well... I'm feeling rather good about this!" Jack said in the Gov.'s face. "I want you to know," he said, moving to Norrington. "That I was rooting for you the whole time!" he said and ran up to the platform with the very low wall. "Will," he said, looking at Will, who stopped gazing in Elizabeth's eyes to look at Jack. "Nice hat. Sam?" he asked. Sam walked forward and he said, "I hate you."
"I know." Sam said, smirking.
"Gent's! My lady! Troll," he said, first motioning to Elizabeth, then glaring at Sam. "You will always remember this as the day that you almost captured... Captain... Jack-" he was cut off by falling into the sea below.
"Ha! He's got nowhere to go but back to the noose!" Gillett said, smirking.
Jack rose out of the water just in time to see the Black Pearl come out of the distance.
"Elizabeth, you know. He's only a blacksmith!" Gov Swann said, trying to sway her opinion.
"No," she said dreamily, taking off Will's hat. "He's a Pirate!" she said and they started kissing. Gov Swann and Sam started leaving the couple to their kissing.
"I know, sir. It's horrible." Sam said to Gov Swann.
"It's not horrible. It's just that he's only a blacksmith!" he said.
"Wrong-o! He's a Pirate! Just like me!" she said happily and went off on her merry way. The sword under her skirt bouncing against her leg as she skipped back to the Blacksmith shop.
OH MY GOD I ENDED IT!!! FEAR ME!!! Now... onto the sequal :D ;P
