AN: I'm baaaack! Did you miss me? I thought so. I have an awful headache,
so I don't know how well this will be written. I don't know how all those
people can update everyday.it's hard enough to update once a week! Thanks
to my reviewers, and to the people I showed this to who aren't on
fanfiction.net who would review if they were, right guys? Oh, and Cindy,
there is NO way I'm showing this to my English teacher. POTC left my
theaters *cry* and I need to see it badly *wails*.
Savvy- Thanks! Here is the *shorter more realistic* update! I 'spose I'll be seein ye on the Halcyon!
Mrs.Sparrow- Is it very interesting? Heheh. I will most definitely update.I love writing this; its fun to think about the movie this way.
Vibe- I feel honored.I've seen only a *few* first person POV, but not very many. I'm glad you are interested in this fic!
Jes- Thanks! Uh..I will clear it up. sometime.mwahaha
Kelly- I will! I'm in the process of reading your story too!
GollumRox: I will try really hard to read your stuff, I don't have a lot of time on my hands, savvy?
Lily-Pad1: Thanks! I don't know if I am accepting them or not, I don't really know how.
Diana: YAY!
Disclaimer: I think we all know by now that I do NOT own the movie. I am not a rich Disney person. I just use their characters and put my thoughts into their heads, savvy? *STILL have the giant poster* Oh, and the use of a script has helped me through this.
The Sparrow and the Swann: Chapter 3
Last time on TSATS:
I told him that I couldn't breathe but he obviously took it the wrong way. "Yes, I'm a bit nervous myself." At this point, I lost all consciousness. Norrington vanished and blackness engulfed me.
I felt the rush of water leaving my lungs. I coughed and looked up into the dripping face of an unfamiliar man. My corset was gone and I could breathe freely. The man picked up the medallion that I wore and looked at it. His brown eyes grew wide.
"Where did you get that?" I did not have time to answer his question as Norrington told him to stand. Father asked me if I was alright; I was, and we all looked at the man who had rescued me and the soldiers next to him. The one called Murtogg was holding my corset. He shook his head rapidly and Father gave the order to shoot the man.
"Father! Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuer?"
"I believe thanks are in order." Norrington reached out to shake the man's hand. But instead, he pushed the man's sleeve back and we could all see the "p" burned into his arm. I was amazed; a pirate had rescued me! I was curious to find out more about him. "Had a brush with the East India Trading Company, did we, pirate" Father was more intent to kill him than ever; this time the order was to hang him. "Keep your guns on him, men. Gillette, fetch some irons." He pushed the shirtsleeve farther up his arm. Now we could see a tattoo of a sun and a bird flying over water. "Well, well.Jack Sparrow, isn't it?" Norrington apparently knew who the man was.
The man, who I now knew was Jack Sparrow, spoke up and said "Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please, sir."
Norrington obviously did not believe this, but decided to play along. "Well, I don't see your ship.Captain."
"I'm in the market as it were." The guards began to tell various things about Jack and Norrington began to comment on the pirate's things. I did not pay attention.
I saw them leading the pirate away and I began to follow them. "Commodore, I really must protest! Pirate or not, this man saved my life."
Apparently this did not phase Norrington. "One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness."
The pirate spoke up from behind Norrington. "Though it seems enough to condemn him." They all moved away from him, thinking the irons would be enough to hold him. "Finally" And with that, the irons were around my neck. I was scared, but also excited. Maybe he would take me away from this town and I'd get to travel with pirates! But I appeared to be frightened. He called out to Norrington to bring his effects. "Elizabeth. It is Elizabeth isn't it?" I told him that it was Miss Swann. "Miss Swann, if you'd be so kind. Come, come dear, we don't have all day. Now if you'd be very kind." With his pistol at my head, I put on his hat and strapped on his sword, making sure I tied it a little to tight. "Easy on the goods darling."
I glared at him. "You're despicable."
"Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you saved mine, we're square." He spun me around and faced the guards, Norrington, and my father. "Gentlemen, milady, you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!" He pushed me into the crowd of people and he escaped. I was led back to my house; a storm was coming.
That night I was laying in bed reading a book. The maid came over and put the bed warmer in my bed. "It was a difficult day for you, I'm sure."
"I suspected Commodore Norrington would propose, but I must admit I wasn't entirely prepared for it." I was sure that was not the answer she really wanted but I said it anyway.
"Well, I meant you being threatened by that pirate, sounds terrifying." I lied and told her that it was. "But the Commodore proposed. Fancy that, that's a smart match, Miss, if it's not too bold to say. I lied again and agreed with her. "Well, that Will Turner, he's a fine man, too."
"That is too bold." She apologized and left me to my reading. I put the book down and took out the medallion and then my candle flickered out. I was surprised by this. Soon after this, I heard cannons. I went out to the balcony to see what was going on and discovered that the town was being attacked by pirates and there were pirates coming to my house. I grew nervous and suddenly there was a knock at the door. I rushed down the stairs to warn the butler. I cried out to him but he did not heed my warning and he opened the door and was promptly shot by a pirate. I screamed and ran upstairs. I opened the door to my room and locked it and then I turned around.
AN 2: Sorry it took so long for the update! Don't expect one this weekend, as I shall be on a trip in Kentucky. I'm going to France in June! PLEASE review, it makes me so happy when I check my email!
