Jack's Explanation
Once again, I don't own PotC.. But I do wish I owned Jack.
Narrator's pov:
Elizabeth stood, starting at the obviously insane pirate standing in front of her- in her own room no less. "What do you mean, out for revenge, Jack," she asked him. "I mean that stupid monkey, the only part of his god forsaken crew we didn't manage to kill or capture must have brought him back from the dead," he answered. Elizabeth turned to Will, her eyebrows raised in amazement. he was returning her shocked look.
"Well, I'm starving, got any good food in that giant kitchen of yours, luv," Jack said, as he brushed past the still speechless Turners. He headed straight for the kitchen before Elizabeth could even think to stop him. "Jack, NO!" she yelled as he skipped down the stairs humming some sort of tune under his breath. "God Will, Lila will hear him and she'll be downstairs before we know it," Elizabeth said.
Elizabeth and Will quickened pace and hurried to the kitchen to find Jack with his head already buried in the pantry. "Jack, you've got to be quiet, Elizabeth's stuck up cousin, Lila, is upstairs and she'll surely be down here if she hears you," Will told the pirate. "Well then mate, let me begin telling you how I heard of Barbossa's latest plot while I fill my belly with this tasty-looking wedding cake," Jack said as he eyed the leftovers hungrily. "Got any rum, by the way," he asked. "No, Jack, now on with the story," said an exasperated Elizabeth.
"Ok, here goes," Jack said. "So me and my crew stopped in Tortuga for a couple of days to have us some fun and help ourselves to the wonders only Tortuga can offer. I found my way to a tavern and was about to sit down with a good bit of rum and a pretty lass, when I heard two fellows talking at the table behind me. I thought nothing of it, until I heard a bit about Captain Barbossa and then my ears perked right up. These pirates were talking about Barbossa and a few of his old miscreants commandeering their ship and making them walk the plank. One said, 'I hear he's off in search of that Jack Sparrow to get the Pearl back.' I nearly left right then, when I heard them say Barbossa was off to Port Royal to have that whelp, Turner, pay for what he had done. For once in my life I didn't just sit and drink my rum, I got up, thanked the gentlemen behind me, and found my crew. That is how I got to be here, right now, enjoying your wedding cake and telling my tale."
Elizabeth could only stare at Jack with a pale face and a fast beating heart. She felt Will grab her hand and hold it tight. "Are you sure Barbossa will be coming here, I mean, what if this is all some crazy rumor or something," Will said. "Let's just say, mate, that I have a feeling about this- a very bad feeling," said Jack. "Well we've got to do something, we can't just sit around and wait for Barbossa and his mercenaries to come and kill us!" Elizabeth cried.
"What is going on here?" a voice said from the doorway. Elizabeth looked up and there stood Lila, her bedclothes rumpled and hair sticking every which way. "Who is this man, a pirate?!" Lila said, eyes wide. "Captain Jack Sparrow, at your service," Jack said, as he stood up and took a bow. Lila looked him up and down and choked back her disgust. "Lila, what are you doing out of bed, you should really be getting your rest," Elizabeth told her. "Not until I find out just what is going on here. or maybe I should just go get the Commodore and his men," Lila said, about to turn on her heel and run out of the mansion. "NO," Elizabeth, Will, and Jack cried in unison. "No, Lila, if you just stay, sit down, have a cup of coffee we'll let you in on what's going on," Elizabeth told her, as she stood up to find a mug for Lila.
Lila sat down at the kitchen table where Elizabeth had been so she didn't have to be too close to Jack- after all he was quite scary looking with his ragged clothes and beaded, dred-locked hair. "So who is going to tell me what all this fuss is about," Lila asked, looking at her cousin expectantly.
Elizabeth opened her mouth to answer, when Jack cut her off. "See, luv, about a year ago, lovely Elizabeth was kidnapped by a crew of cursed pirates and their evil Captain Barbossa," Jack said. "Yes, I know that, but what I don't know is what you're doing here, Mr. Sparrow," Lila replied. "Captain, Captain Sparrow, luv," Jack said. Lila made a face and Elizabeth could see this conversation was going nowhere. "Lila," Elizabeth said, "to make a long story short, by the end of last year's adventure, the curse had been broken and Barbossa was killed by the bullet Jack had been saving for him. But, somehow Barbossa was brought back from the dead and now he's back for revenge. He wants to kill us all and try to take Jack's ship. again." Lila looked from Elizabeth, to Will, to Jack, in disbelief. "I don't believe this," she said. "I really think I should just go get the Commodore, he will straighten this all out and throw Captain Jack in jail where he belongs." Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said, "for the last bloody time, Lila, no one here will be getting the Commodore!"
With that said, Elizabeth stood up from her seat, now next to Jack, and said, "I think it's about time for us to get out of here, it's not safe anymore." "I agree," Will said, "we should all stay together." The couple looked at Jack expectantly. "What?" Jack asked. "You want to see refuge on the Black Pearl?" "We'll be safe there, it is the fastest ship in the Caribbean," Will said. "No, no, no, no one will be hiding out on my ship, I only came here to warn you!" Jack said. Elizabeth decided it was time to put her foot down. "Jack, face it, you are the smartest pirate around, if anyone is able to out smart Barbossa, it's you," she said. "With Will and I to help you, we'll finally put him and his stupid monkey where they belong- the depths of Davy Jones' locker." Jack regarded the woman carefully. "Well, I guess it's no use arguing with you, Elizabeth, since you see me as I truly am- charming and brilliant," he said grinning. "You and young Mr. Turner can come with me on the Pearl, but only if you work with the rest of my crew."
Lila sat watching the scene unfold before her and she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her cousin was truly crazy. There's no way she could just up and leave with some crazy pirate. "Fine," Lila said, "as soon as the three of you leave, I'll alert the Commodore of this act of piracy and he'll surely hunt you down and hang this pirate- something he most definitely deserves." "Lila, you can't do that," Will said. "Oh, you better bet I can and I will," she replied. "Well, in that case, luv, you'll be coming with us so there is no way you'll be able to ruin things for us," Jack said, with his trademark smile.
