Chapter 15: Captured and a Proposition
Back in Port Royal, Will was sitting on a chair in the blacksmith shop, tapping his fingers on the table. His mind was on his daughter. What if Norrington catches her? That one thought lingered in his head since the day Kaitlin left home. Elizabeth walked through the door and sat down in front of Will, but he didn't even notice her. "Will.sweetheart, are you okay?"
"Huh?" he asked, waking from his trance.
"I said are you feeling okay?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine," he replied, "I didn't even hear ye come in?"
"I know. You've been like this for weeks now and I'm starting to get worried. Is this about our daughter?"
"What do ye think?"
"I know you're upset about what she did, but I know Captain Sparrow and his son will keep her safe. You told me that."
"I know I did, but Norrington's been gone for weeks. What if he catches Kate?"
"She'll be taken back here and most likely be hanged. There is a slight chance that I could persuade the Commodore not to hang her, but I doubt the same will work for Captain Sparrow and his son." Will opened his arms and Elizabeth sat in his lap as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Meanwhile, Kaitlin awoke in Jack's arms with her head still rested on his chest. He was so relaxed and it comforted her. He was the only one she could really count on and life right now was a complicated thing. When she sat up she heard screaming and the word FIRE! Jack instantly woke up and they both toppled off the bed as the Black Pearl jolted. Jack then stood up and helped Kate up. "What was that?"
"I don't know, Kaitlin.I don't-DUCK!" he shouted as he pushed her to the ground and a cannonball came flying through the wall. They both looked up and then back at each other. "That's the second time that's happened to me," Kaitlin said laughing as Jack stood up and helped her to her feet once again.
"Put some clothes on and meet me at the helm in a few minutes," he ordered as he handed Kate her clothes and ran out the door. She did as she was told and threw on a baggy, long-sleeved white shirt and black pants. After she grabbed her sword and pistol, she tied her hair back in a ponytail and ran up to the helm. The Black Pearl was alongside the Dauntless II, with Norrington and Captain Sparrow shouting and cursing at each other. "YOU BETTER SURRENDER NOW, SPARROW!"
"NORRINGTON, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU.IT'S CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW!" the Captain yelled back. Norrington threw him an evil look and ordered his crew to fire again. "Captain, what's going on?"
"Norrington, Miss Turner.just Norrington. He says he's here for you."
"Maybe I can strike up a deal with him then." Captain Sparrow and his son's eyes both glanced at Kaitlin. They were full of confusion and terror. "What do you mean?"
"Captain, turn me over to the Commodore and follow us closely. If I need help, you'll know."
"I thought you said that you'd be killed too if he caught you," the Captain's son interrupted.
"Jack, we have no other choice. Just let me do this.I can win this battle."
"Don't let her do it father!" Jack shouted. Captain Sparrow smiled at his son and then looked back at Kaitlin. A smile graced his lips and he placed a kiss on her forehead. "That's your mother talking.go now, Miss Turner."
"WHAT? Father, you can't be serious-?"
"I am serious, son. I know she can do this, so say goodbye to her and let her take care of this matter." Kaitlin hugged Captain Sparrow and then threw her arms around his son. "I Love You, Jack."
"I Love you.just be careful, and promise me that you'll never leave me after this." Kate pressed her lips to his and then rested her head on his shoulder. "We'll never part.ever," she said with a smile as she picked up a rogue rope that hung from the mast of the Black Pearl. With a deep breath, Kaitlin swung across onto the Dauntless II and landed at Commodore Norrington's feet. "Well, well.MARINES!" he shouted as two officers came up behind Kate and lifted her up by her arms.
"Commodore, is this the way to treat a lady like meself?" she asked with a sly smile as Gillette walked up to Norrington holding a pair of irons. Kaitlin willingly held out her hands and let him slap the irons on her wrist. As they took her below deck to Norrington's office, the ship stopped firing at the Black Pearl and started to drift away. Jack looked at his father and saw a tear run down his face. "Father, what's wrong?"
"No matter how mad she is at me, she's almost a daughter nonetheless."
Meanwhile, Norrington's office was quiet. Kaitlin sat on a chair with the two officers standing next to her, holding her down by her shoulders. Within moments, Commodore Norrington came in with David by his side. "Miss Turner, I see you have decided to join us."
"Only to pose a question, Commodore. Then I shall be on my way."
"I'm afraid not," David interrupted as he walked over to Kaitlin and took her hair out of her ponytail and let her natural waves flow down to her waist. Even in pirate clothes, she was still attractive to him. "Then, may I ask what you want of me now that I'm here, mate?" Kate asked.
"Guards, you may leave us. She can do no harm with her hands in irons." They did as they were told and left Kaitlin to the Commodore and his cousin. There was an awkward silence for a few moments and David broke the silence with, "Why did you do it?"
"Do what?" Kate asked sarcastically.
"Why did you run away with PIRATES?"
"Excuse me, but those pirates are my friends.my family.and the best people I've ever known, savvy?"
"You're starting to sound like that daft Captain Sparrow," the Commodore stated firmly.
"Better to be 'daft like Jack' than a stuck up snob!" Kate shouted. Both Commodore Norrington and Dave eyed Kaitlin closely, watching her every expression. There was no denying that she was becoming a pirate. "Miss Turner, you have betrayed the Crown and will therefore be hanged on our return to Port Royal."
"I beg to differ," she replied slyly as she ran at the both of them and swung her arms violently against their heads, knocking them on their backs. She nodded proudly and ran toward the window and dove headfirst through the glass. She was airborne for only a moment and soon enough plunged into the cool Caribbean water. When Kaitlin surfaced she looked back at the Dauntless II and heard people shouting, "SHE'S GETTING AWAY!" These words made her swim away faster and she saw the Black Pearl floating only another four hundred yards away. She smiled at the sight of the magnificent ship, but then everything went black as she felt a strong pain shoot up her leg.
