similarities with real people are highly coincidental.
Fleur sighed and gazed at the port, its nightlife was not as entertaining as the ones she viewed at Tortuga but she knew she preferred Port Royal to any other port in the seven seas. James came up from behind her and took a place next to her.
"I see you've abandoned your plan to escape?" he asked looking at the made bed.
"Never in my life have I experienced such hostility" Fleur whispered to him, "and I live with pirates" she turned to face him, "which brings me to my next question...why did you tell them my name was Miss Vazquez?"
James shook his head side to side, "what would have happened if my parents found out you were a pirate?"
Fleur swallowed the sour anger rising in her throat, "your father I believe was a pirate, why did his 'crimes' get excused so easily?"
James laughed, "he did what he did under act of duty. You mean to tell me ma'am that your father told you not of how he came to be alive today?"
"My father, good sir is Captain Jack Sparrow. Of course he's alive today!"
James chuckled and didn't reply. Fleur slapped him and walked away to face the wall. Rubbing his cheek James followed her with his eyes. He had lied about her identity so that she could gain permission to stay longer. He knew for a fact no boats would be travelling for Spain any time soon, hence why he chose that to be the place of her birth.
"My father saved his neck" James continued, "he would just be a rotting corpse hanging from a noose had my father not acted as a true friend would"
"I believe it was your father who informed mine there were 'no heroes among thieves'!" Fleur replied viciously.
James walked towards her and laughed, "oh how naïve women can be, imagine if my father had not of done what he did. You miss would not be here today"
Fleur turned to slap him again but James was ready and caught her hand and thus concluded his action by pulling her into a long, passionate kiss.

Jack threw down his glass down in anger. Where could have Fleur gone? Stupid girl! Gibbs who was present scratched his head in apprehension.
"Cap, maybe she just don't want to be found bout now?" he asked.
"Don't try tell me Mr. Gibbs about my daughter's whereabouts!" Jack growled clenching his fist tight and trying to concentrate on the map laid out in front of him.
Gibbs swallowed, "I told you sir that t'was bad luck to bring a woman aboard. Told you that good sir when we first left Tortuga when you ventured to bring good Anamaria along. What good it got her? She went and just jumped off board leavin you with poor little Fleur"
Jack spun and threw his fist at his second mate causing him to lye sprawled on the floor. He did a sort of nervous movement with his hands, "Mr Gibbs", he begun "do you really wish to make me so villainously angered that I order you to be left on a little island I once had the extreme pleasure as in to call home? I got quite well acquainted with it and I am so sure you shall have no troubles"
Gibbs got up shaking slightly, "sorry Captain sir. T'was not in my place to go round sayin such things. I'll continue the search for Miss Fleur"
He left the pirate to browse over his maps. Jack growled in frustration and tapped the wooden desk with a finger. Only limited places to go on a boat and he knew the Pearl like the back of his hand.
"Land ho" he heard shouted from outside.
He ran out to see in the distance a shady bump on the horizon.
"Pirates!" he shouted, "we head for that 'ere island and make berth. After we head for Port Royal"
One of the crewmembers looked at him puzzled, "Port Royal?" he asked.
"Yes" Jack answered, "Port Royal".

Fleur pulled from James, her eyes wide with uneasiness. She turned from him and held a hand to her mouth. What had he just done?
"Fleur...is everything o.k.?" James asked.
Fleur ran her fingers through her long hair, "no" she whispered whirling to face him, "have you any idea what you just did?" she demanded
James took a slight step back, "I just let myself go..."he admitted.
Fleur swallowed and rotated her back to him. She headed for the bed and collapsed onto it just wanting to sleep. She let her eyes fluter close and drifted to sleep. James raised an eyebrow and left the room. He saw his mother on the stairs and frowned.
"What is it you have against Miss Vazquez?"
Elizabeth laughed a cold laugh, "she is no governors daughter. I, myself as one can tell"
James rolled his eyes, "did it occur to you mother that one of different birth to yours could have certainly grown up differently?"
Elizabeth placed her hands on her hips, "Hear no more of this nonsense I will from you! I do not wish to accommodate frauds in this or any house!"
She turned heel and left. James stood staring after her not sure of what his mother could possibly dream of having against Fleur. Was it not true that his own father risked the threat of being branded pirate when he attempted to save her life. Yet, the stories she told of Jack Sparrow frightened him, hence why he believed he were a simple make-believe character to get him to retire before a certain time. This was an interesting experience he was living and he did not entirely wish for it to finish any time soon.

Elizabeth paced her bedroom. Will came in and motioned for her to sit beside him on their window seat that overlooked the port.
"Elizabeth, what's wrong" he asked seriously.
Elizabeth sighed frustrated, "I refuse to believe that that girl is a governors daughter"
Will rubbed his hands together, "do not you mean you refuse to believe that our son is falling for her?"
Fleur sighed and gazed at the port, its nightlife was not as entertaining as the ones she viewed at Tortuga but she knew she preferred Port Royal to any other port in the seven seas. James came up from behind her and took a place next to her.
