Fleurs' bare feet slapped against the sodden wood of the jetty.
"'Urry up Fleur, we're leavin" her father shouted from the Pearl which had just started to sail off.
Fleur picked up her speed and just as she neared the end of the jetty she stopped dead in her tracks.
"DAD LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!" she screamed.
A familiar hatted figure had jumped down beside Jack and withdrew a sword. Jack turned and ducked as the man swung at him with his sword.
"Barbossa?" Jack said disbelievingly unsheathing his own sword.
Fleur looked at the gun she had in her holster and took it out. When she looked up to take a shot at Barbossa she saw him slicing his blade through Jacks' throat and her father fell dead to the ground.
"DAD!" she screamed bolting upright.
Fleur, panting heavily looked around her. She was covered in sweat, as were her bed sheets and clothes. She looked around the room she was in, it was her cabin! Getting up Fleur ran up onto the top deck and looked around. The crew were all getting ready to set sail. Looking around franticly Fleur searched for her father and kept her ears pierced for his voice. She ran to the railing and felt her heart skip a beat. There on the jetty stood Will, Elizabeth, James, the governor, Admiral Norrington and her father!
"Dad!" she exclaimed rushing towards him.
"'Ey love" her father said letting his daughter throw her arms around him.
"Humph, who would know pirates could show affection" Norrington grumbled.
Fleur withdrew from the hug and Jack threw his arms underneath her legs and swung her off the ground, tears ran down her face and she hugged him again.
"Well love, ready to git outta here?" her father asked.
"Aye Captain" Fleur replied fixing up his hat that she had knocked askew.
She smiled and went to thank Elizabeth and Will for the charity they had bestowed upon her but her smile faltered when she saw James's grief- stricken face. Jack noticing let her down so that she could say goodbye.
"Thank you Mrs Turner, Mr Turner," Fleur said curtsying slightly.
"Call me Elizabeth dear" Elizabeth told her, "and you owe me no thank you, tis I who owe you an apology" she curtsied deeply and upon rising put a hand on Will's shoulder.
"Aye, call me Will," replied her husband winking idiotically.
Fleur giggled and turned to James, "James I -"
She felt her father place his hands on her shoulders, and she turned away from James slightly.
"Goodbye Miss Sparrow," he replied sharply picking up her hand and delivering it a short kiss.
"You know James, Miss Sparrow is always welcome to Port Royal, isn't that right father?" Elizabeth asked.
"What?" both her father and Norrington exclaimed.
"And of course you can stay in my house anytime you wish dear" Elizabeth added glaring at her father and Norrington as if daring them to object.
Fleur opened her mouth, not knowing what to do. Jack bent low beside her.
"Go on, ye know what ye 'eart wants princess" he whispered.
"Oh, dad" Fleur exclaimed and hugged him.
She then ran to James and he happily kissed her deeply, not caring what his or her family thought. Quite simply he didn't even think about Norrington. Chuckling Jack removed his hat and pushed it onto his daughters' head.
"Don't ye loose that hat now ye hear? I wanna come back 'ere and be able to see it again" he said before hoping back aboard his ship.
James wrapped his arm around Fleurs' waist and pulled her to him.
"Sir -" Norrington objected.
"Oh shut up Admiral" Will muttered sending everyone into fits of giggles.
Fleur waved to her father as the Pearl started to sail away, gliding on the morning calm waters.
