Chapter 10
I'm sorry it has been so long. I have been busy with school. Who said nursing school would be easy. Well hope you enjoy this chapter. Please leave me a review. Good or bad. Thanks.
The governer's ship made it to Port Royal on schedule. Elizabeth looked at the Port as they approached. She was surprised on how different it was but yet the same. So many memories, good and bad. This is where she had first met Jack and where she had been happy with her father and Will before Beckett had arrived. Yes she had been happy, but she realized how something had always been missing. She had wanted adventure. She had found out in these last six months that she was happier than ever because of the adventure and yes being back with Captain Jack Sparrow.
When the ship docked, Gibbs and Elizabeth followed James and his little wife to the carriage that had been waiting for them. Gibbs rode up front with the carriage driver while Elizabeth rode inside the carriage with James and his wife.
"I know this may be difficult for you, Elizabeth. The last time you were here you were still the governor's daughter. You must have many memories here." said James.
"Yes James, there are many ghosts here, hiding in the shadows." replied Elizabeth.
James nodded his head in agreement.
As the carriage arrived to the governor's mansion she noticed on how it had not changed a bit. She had spent half her childhood here. Norrington had courted her in the courtyard in the back. Will had proposed to her in the garden by the fountain. She had dreamed many nights of Jack, waking up feeling guilty in the morning. Elizabeth blushed when she remembered that little detail.
Gibbs followed James to the office while Elizabeth sneaked into the room next to the office hoping that the little peephole she use to use to spy on her father was still there. She knew that the new Lord Beckett was there and she wanted a good look at the man she wanted to meet in battle later. The hole was still there luckily for Elizabeth. She looked in the peep hole and there he was greeting James. The New Beckett. The man who had killed Will and threatened her life and her son. She realized that he was the same man that had been there at her home. He was the one the throw the fatal blow to Will. He was brave. She would give him that. His father had not been that way. He always had someone else do his dirty work. "This man must really want revenge, but he will not suceed", thought Elizabeth, "because I will have mine." She listened as James spoke with Beckett.
"Lord Beckett, thank you for your grand welcome. The king would be proud." said James.
"Thank you, governor." replied Beckett.
"And for your servitude, I offer a grand party for all your men. My men can keep an eye on the jail and the docks. Your men deserve a night off, and they will enjoy what I have planned for the evening. Plus my wife is just dying to be the hostess of her first ball as the governor's wife. Everything has been settled and planned it will be tommorrow night. Please let your men know." said James.
"As you wish Governor. Thank you. I know that you are tired. We will meet after the ball to discuss the problems we have here in Port Royal, especially the pirate infestation problem. I hope that the king has sent orders for that certain problem." replied Beckett.
"Oh, Indeed he has" relied James.
"Very well, until tommorow night, then" said Beckett.
"Good day, sir" replied James.
When Beckett left James wrote a note and gave it to Gibbs." Please go give this to one of the crew to take to Jack. Tell them to take a long boat to meet him. I have just made it very easy to break Captain Chevalle out tommorow night." said James.
"Aye you did sir. You are going to make a great pirate sir. It comes natural to you as it does to Elizabeth. I will go with haste." replied Gibbs.
"Thank you, Master Gibbs." replied James.
Elizabeth ran into the office and ran over to James.
"James, you are briliant, a true pirate." said Elizabeth.
"It will be easy for them, but it will be harder for us to escape undetected. We still have to be careful Elizabeth. Beckett will not trust anyone." relpied James.
"That's where Gibbs and I come into play. We are going to kidnap you. I want Beckett to get a good look at the Pirate King. I am going to grab some of the crew and we will kidnap him as well until we reach the ship and then I am going to throw him overboard and watch him swim back to Port Royal." replied Elizabeth.
"That will be fun to watch. Go and gather who you need and have them ready, because this all goes down tommorow night." said James.
"Aye, my dear cousin" said Elizabeth as she kissed his cheek and left.
Again hope you enjoyed the chapter. More to come. Please review.
