CHAPTER: 7.Third Time's a Charm
Elizabeth listened to Commodore Norrington and Will, watching as they
very relationship they had built soon crumbled to pieces. "I WILL NOT risk another
clumsy attempt to engage in piracy, as last time!" Will brought his fist down on the table
and yelled back, "And I will not sit here and watch my very daughter slip AWAY from
me!" Elizabeth turned her head, so hurt that all of this had to such a resolve.
A deafening silence fell upon those in the conversation. Will looked
Commodore in the eye and said gritting his teeth, "I will not loose my daughter. I will do
all that I can possibly do to get her back." Commodore closed his eyes, thinking for what
seemed like forever. He came to a resolve and looked at Will. "You'll be needing a ship
then, I suppose." Will looked up, not sure if he was hearing correctly. "I believe the
Dauntless will do," Commodore Norrington finished. He turned to the two men on either
side of him. "Get a crew assembled and fetch some supplies."
Commodore turned to leave but Will stopped him. "You don't know how
much this means to us." Will said, holding his wife on the right of his arm. Commodore
merely smiled and took his leave. Elizabeth turned to Will. "Oh, Will. I do hope we find
her. I still can't believe she did this." Will embraced Elizabeth and ran his fingers through
her silky, blonde locks. "I know. but we'll find her. Let us go before they leave without
us." Elizabeth drew apart from him and took his arm; walking down the cobblestone path
to the dock. She had a feeling that it would not be long before their dear Charlotte was
back in her arms again.

Jack breathed in deeply as he entered the harbor of Tortugas, just like he
promised. Plus, Annemarie and Charlotte got to stay on the Pearl while everyone did they
business, just like they promised. He turned the wheel slightly, and hummed a tune that
no one had ever heard of. Jack swayed side to side, having no idea that the pride and joy
of the British Navy, the Dauntless would soon be hot on his trail.

Charlotte swished the mop around in the bucket, and pulled it out again
walking to where she had finished, leaving a trail of water drops. Bending over, she ran
the mop over the same 3 foot radius, again, and again, and again. She looked up at
Annemarie who had down almost twice as much as she had. Disgusted at her own work,
she threw the mop down. She thought that being with Pirates would give her life a tilt, a
thrill, SOMETHING besides a mop and a bucket filled to the brim with dirty water.
Annemarie noticed her face as Charlotte leaned against the cell door,
sighing loudly. Annemarie dropped over and stood next to her crossing her arms as well.
"What 'tis it, mate?" looking Charlotte in the eye. Charlotte repositioned herself. "I don't
know.it's just, well.I thought that being with Pirates would be exciting and
well.it's- "Dull!" Annemarie finished for her, with a slight twinkle in her eye.
Charlotte looked back at her and replied sheepishly, Well.yeah!"
Annemarie smiled and asked, "Well, what it ye'd like to do, miss?
We've got the Pearl to ourselves and we've all day!" Charlotte thought for a moment a
she replied, "Anything?" Annemarie leaned closer as she whispered, "Anything!"
* * *
Jack sauntered on deck with the rest of the crew as he looked on the
familiar scene of Tortugas. "Made God have mercy on her!" Jack muttered as he walked
over a passed out man on the dock. Jack went with Gibbs to complete some unfinished
business he had. The two walked amongst the throngs of the drunks, prostitutes, and
those just looking for a good time. Jack noticed that Gibbs had stopped and turned to see
him staring out into the harbor. Gibbs clenched his fist as he said, "What be it in that
woman's head. I told ye it was bad luck for a woman to be on board, even a miniature
one!" Jack stepped forward to see what it was that Gibbs was babbling about with his
thick Irish accent.
Jack stared in disbelief as his the Pearl, HIS SHIP, sailed out of the harbor.
Pulling out his spyglass he moved around the sky, until his eyes rested upon his beloved
ship. There be Annemarie and that girl, riding away his ship. Jack stood feeling like there
was nothing he could do except make himself watch. "That's the third time I've seen
someone sailing away with MY ship." Jack shoved the spyglass into his pocket and
started for the docks again, waiting to prey on the very next ship that came into the
harbor.
