Chapter 3: The Infamous Captain Sparrow
Kit led the way to the docks, with Faye trying to keep up to her long strides. She looked at the other woman intently.
'For some reason . . . it feels like I've seen her before . . .' she thought idly. They weaved through the people crowding the streets. '. . . Naw, it can't be! I would remember a lass like her . . .'
As they continued walking, the wooden docks came into sight. There were a few sailors milling about, and dock men to see to any ship that would need docking. Kit made her way towards them.
They stepped onto the wooden surface, their boots clunking loudly on the planks. In front of them they saw two men talking casually to one another. One was dressed as a somewhat gentlemen, the other like . . . Well, like a pirate.
"'Ello, Jack!" Kit cried and ran over to him, yet unfortunately she tripped over a loose plank and was sent flying. Jack Sparrow caught her before she hit the ground, setting her to her feet again.
"Bloody-! Kit, ye are the clumsiest pirate I have ever had the misfortune to come across!"
Kit grinned sheepishly up at the Captain.
The younger man turned and looked at Kit with a smile. Faye couldn't help but notice that he was attractive. "So this is Kit, Jack? Well, she looks in fine condition. No wonder you took her aboard your ship."
Kit, now standing again, looked at him. "Would ye be Will Turner?" The man nodded his head, and Kit grinned. "Aye, Jack told me 'bout you. Told me all about your lil' adventures with skeletal pirates, eh?"
Will laughed and turned to Jack. "She talks just like you, Jack!"
Jack grinned in his roguish way. "And that's a bad thing?" He then looked over Will's shoulder to Faye, standing awkwardly next to Kit.
Kit, noticing him look over at Faye, smiled. "Ah, yes. Well Jack, seeing as how you told me to look for reliable people to start up a crew, I think I found meself a good one. Jack, this is Faye Morgane."
Faye nodded. "Aye; I'm headed to Tortuga myself, so maybe you could give me a lift. But . . . If ye ARE looking for crewmembers . . ." She grinned. "Then I'm more than capable of pullin' me own weight."
Jack raised an amused eyebrow at her. Will did too. "Alright, so ye wanna become a crew member o' the Black Pearl, do ye?" Jack asked her. She nodded vigorously.
"Hmm . . . Gibbs always said it was bad luck bringing a woman on board . . . But then again, I have had Kit on the Pearl for a while now." Kit smiled proudly. "I've taught her how ta steer and everythin' . . . She's bloody deadly with a sword, too . . ." He smiled and turned back to Faye. "Alright, Miss Faye . . ." He walked over to her and extended his hand. "We've got an accord. You can be a member o' me crew, IF you can live up to it. Savvy?"
"Aye, Captain!" Faye proclaimed loudly and shook his hand.
Will looked at her intently. "So, that makes two of us. Jack just asked me if I could sail on the Pearl with him."
Kit frowned. "But I thought that ye had yourself a bonnie lass? Elizabeth, is that her name? She wouldn't want to go with you, would she?"
Will nodded thoughtfully and frowned. "Well, yes, I had thought that Elizabeth and I were going to be wed . . . But it just didn't work." He sighed. "You see, I long to go back to the ocean, back to the Black Pearl; to sail again, you know: be a pirate."
Faye eyed him questioningly. "You? A pirate? Not the way you're dressed, mate!"
Will looked at her again. "That's why I'm going with Jack. I'm tired of a domestic life; I want one with adventure, the one of a pirate. After all, I do have the pirate blood in me . . . I'm the son of Bootstrap Bill Turner," he added in response to Faye's disbelieving look.
"Bootstrap?" she repeated with slight wonder. "Aye, that'll do it, then . . ." She continued to stare at him thoughtfully.
"So," continued Will, "As you can imagine Elizabeth didn't take too kindly to that. She said she didn't want to live the rest of her life on the sea in some ship, and so we drifted apart. I don't think we were meant for each other."
Jack looked a little hurt by that comment. "'Some ship'?"
Kit burst out laughing. "Oh Jack, don't take offense to what a little Governor's daughter has to say."
Jack nodded and looked out, observing the people walking up and down the streets.
"So . . . When do we set sail?" Faye asked, feeling a bit out of place.
Kit answered. "Tonight. Jack thinks that we can pick up a good enough crew in Tortuga. Says that ol' Gibbs wants to come back aboard, and that we're gonna meet 'im there. Ain't that right, Jack?" Kit turned to Jack, who became wide-eyed. "Jack?"
"Eh, Will?" Jack said in a disbelieving voice. "Ain't that Elizabeth?"
Everyone turned and found that Elizabeth was in fact walking down the docks towards them. She had cinnamon curly hair and soft skin; a delicate body in a delicate dress. She stopped in front of them and smiled.
"Hello, Jack," Elizabeth said with perfect composure. "It's been a while. How are you?"
"Er . . . I'm fine. You?" He looked slightly uncomfortable.
She sighed and glanced at Will. "Oh, I'm well . . ."
There was an awkward silence. Kit bit her lower lip and looked around the docks, not knowing what to do. Jack cleared his throat, but did not speak. Will looked at the ground, and Faye surveyed Elizabeth intently.
"So, you're Elizabeth Swann, eh? Governor's daughter?" she asked her, remembering Kit's earlier comment.
"Yes, I am."
"Oh, so you're the lass who said she didn't like sailing, correct?"
There was a sharp intake of breath as they all stared at her. 'Oops,' thought Faye as she blushed a little. 'Me and my big mouth . . .'
"Well . . . er, it's not sailing in general, just . . ." Elizabeth struggled for the right words. She finally gave up her dignity and threw a longing look at Will.
"Will, why can't you just forget about pirates? Why can't we just live a happy life, and then forget about our troubles, put them in the past?" She looked at him with a pleading look.
Will shook his head slowly, looking sad. "I can't, Elizabeth. I thought we had told each other that we weren't right for one another? I want to join Jack on the Pearl."
Elizabeth's eyes started to fill up with tears. "But . . . why?"
"Because," Kit intervened, "Being a pirate means you have freedom. You can live your life, and no one will tell you how. You don't have to have 'manners' or the lot, just be free and be yerself." She threw a grin to Jack, whose turn it was to smile proudly.
Faye smiled as well. "Aye: to feel the power of the sea at your finger tips and the warm air on your face. What could be better?"
Elizabeth looked at Kit and Jack who were grinning idiotically, to Will who was looking down again, and to Faye who looked serenely at her.
"W- Well then, if this is going to be your new life . . ." Elizabeth said with a slightly quavering voice.
"It is," Will stated. They all looked at him.
"Well, then I guess this is goodbye . . ." She glanced around to each of them in turn once more. She began to turn away, but Will stopped her before she even took a step.
"Wait! Elizabeth, why don't you come with us? Just for a little while, at least?"
Kit and Jack's jaws both dropped. Faye raised an eyebrow. 'This fragile little thing, aboard the Pearl? Ha! I'd like to see that!'
"W-What?" Elizabeth asked, startled. "You- You mean it?"
Will nodded his head, and she smiled faintly. "Alright, I'll be back this evening. After all, that is when you're setting sail, correct?"
And with that, she turned and walked away gracefully, not tripping on the planks like Kit had. They all followed her with their eyes as she disappeared from view. As soon as she was gone Jack turned to Will.
"You bloody idiot!!! What was that for?!"
Will looked taken aback. "What? What's wrong?"
"She'll tell her father, that's what's wrong!"
Will shook his head determinedly. "No Jack, she won't; trust me."
Jack sighed exasperatedly and turned away, heading down further along the docks. Kit smiled at his retreating back and looked to Will and Faye.
"Well . . . That was interesting . . ." she remarked cheerfully.
A/N: Lol, Ok please Review! Just fer reference, or . . . in case ye forget . . . Erm . . . Yeah . . . This is a Jack/OC and Will/OC, (apologies to those who don't like Will/OC or the like). 'Til next time!
And by the way, these aren't Mary-Sues.
Nev: Now that's not nice, at least show some consideration.
