want them, or i can't think of anything to write! so thanks for being
patient and thank you to all my reviewers! i really appreciate it! (oh, and
sorry about the shortness of my chapters, but im not a very lengthy writer)
CHAPTER 8
"What? You mean, I have a daughter? she's my daughter?
Elizabeth just nodded, and watched Jack's eyes wander over to where Brynn was silently sleeping.
"I'm not asking anything of you, Jack," Elizabeth told him, "i know you just couldn't leave the ocean, it's your home. i just thought, seeing as you're her father, you should know, and i wanted Brynn to see her father at least once her lifetime. "
Jack didn't say anything. Now that he thought about it, Brynn did look a lot like himself. She was just so small!
"Isn't she beautiful?" Elizabeth asked him
"She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen..." Jack whispered. "'Lizabeth, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry i never came back for you."
"Why didn't you come back?" Elizabeth asked, she'd been dying to ask him .
"I felt terrible when i didn't come back for you...but i..i was scared."
Elizabeth was shocked. Jack Sparrow was the last person she thought would say he was scared.
"i mean, I'm a pirate Elizabeth, i don't fall in love... i can't fall in love, but i did. and that scared me. I'd never felt that way before..."
Jack got up and kneeled on the ground in front of Elizabeth. "I am so sorry, will you forgive me? please forgive me?"
He looked so helpless, Elizabeth softened, and looked at him with almost pity.
"I don't know if i can Jack," Elizabeth stammered "i can't trust you."
Jack nodded silently.
Suddenly, there was a loud boom, making Jack and Elizabeth jump, and Brynn wake up. "Mommy?" she said sleepily.
"It's ok Brynn," Elizabeth said, going over to comfort Brynn, "Mommy's here...." and then there was another loud boom, and people screaming.
"I know those cannons..." Jack whispered, "We have to get out of hear. "
Elizabeth didn't need telling twice. She grabbed her bag and was out the door within seconds. She followed Jack out into the streets. People were running everywhere, and explosions were lighting the sky.
"'lizabeth! over here, " Jack said, and pulled Elizabeth and a crying Brynn into a narrow alley. They stood in the shadows waiting.
"Sh, Brynn, its all right." Elizabeth whispered, "Jack, what's going on?"
"It's that bloody pirate, Drake," Jack told her, "He and his crew been after me for about a year now, no one's lasted as long as me!" he added proudly.
"Captain Drake?" Elizabeth said with fear, "Jack, he's the worst pirate I've ever heard about, what did you do to make him mad?"
"why is it always something i did?" Jack wondered aloud to himself, "i killed his first mate, but it was only in self defense, love! i be telling the truth! I'd be down in Davy Jones locker if i hadn't killed ol' Parkson, I'd be dead."
"And so now they want to kill you?" Elizabeth stated more than asked.
Before Jack could respond, a gun was being pointed at him and Elizabeth. Brynn gave a startled cry, as a very gruff looking man stepped out of the shadows, pistol i n his hand.
"well well well, look who it is," said the man, "I knew we'd find ya, Jack Sparrow," and the man smiled showing horribly yellow teeth. Jack stood in front of Elizabeth and Brynn, blocking them from the mans pistol
"got yerself a lass, Jack?" he said, eyeing Elizabeth, and made to aim at one of the her, but Jack took the pistol from him in one swift move, and had it pointed at his forehead. "tha' was very stupid of ye, Jack, you know there's more of us than you," and another man appeared in the alley.
Before Jack could aim at the 2nd man, he had punched Jack in the face causing Jack to stumble over. "Run, Elizabeth!" he hollered, and Elizabeth made to run, but was caught by the 2nd pirate. The man tried to haul Elizabeth after him, but she tripped and fell. The man grabbed Brynn, who was screaming by now, and ran, Elizabeth crying after him for her daughter.
Jack shot at him, but didn't hit him, and then remembered the man still in the alleyway, and shot him before anything else could happen.
Elizabeth lay sobbing on the ground, calling out Brynn's name. Jack looked out onto the street, and saw the other pirates running towards the docks. They were leaving. Jack knelt down next to Elizabeth and pulled her into a hug, trying his best to comfort the mother who just lost hr child.
The pirate climbed on board the Nightmare, carrying the crying girl, who was still wailing at the top of her lungs. "Shut up, girl!" he said, shaking her slightly, and took her into the captains quarters.
"Well?" said Captain Drake, "did you get him, Keller? Did you get Sparrow?"
"No, Cap'n, but i did get something that will help us get 'im!"
"You fool! why didnt you just take him, you dog, why do you bring me this girl?"
"Because, Cap'n, i think this 'ere's Sparrows kid, and he'll be coming after her!"
"Keller, you scum, that may very well work, but it would have been a hell of a lot easier if you had just got Sparrow, and not his child! Now i gotta have a child on me boat, and a female at that! Bad luck to 'ave a lass on board, don't i always tell ye? well, no matter, it's too late to go back for sparrow now. But i'll get my revenge in time..."
