Elizabeth opened her eyes and stretched as she looked out her window at
Port Royal that morning. She got out of bed, her maid helped her into her
dress, then she went across the hall to William's room. She looked in, but,
he wasn't there. So, she went downstairs.
"So, the man had two swords, and you only had a dagger for your defense?" "For the last time Will, yes! I've fought for most of my life, I know what I doing, most of the time." Will was so excited he blurted out another question for Amera. "Are you really Jonathan's Knightly's daughter? The woman known as Knight Hawk, the famous swordsman, the Captain of the mysterious Red Coral?"
"Will, I think you need to calm down! Besides, I'm not the only famous one here." Amera eyed Will. "You mean Jack?" "NO! You're the son of Bootstrap Bill! He was such a good pirate, very funny." Elizabeth came in the room after hearing most of this, kissed Will on the cheek, and sat down next to them.
"You...you knew my father?" Amera laughed softly, "Oh yes, met him a few times. He was a friend of my father. I was little at the time, but he would visit us in Tortuga. He even came back when my parents died, but stopped after he passed." She trailed off, not daring to finish . Will didn't move, he tried to hide his feelings about his father. Amera leaned over and put her hand on his shoulder, "Will, he was one of the best men I knew. He helped me and my family through many troubles. You would've been proud of him."
Will finally pulled his eyes up from the floor and looked at Amera. "Thank you." She smiled at him and let go of his shoulder. Will stood up and was about to go wake up Jack when someone walked in the front door. Two men walked into the kitchen where the three of them were.
"Oh my dear Elizabeth! It is so good to see you again!" Elizabeth ran up and hugged her father, Governor Swann. "Father! I've missed you!" He pulled back from her and walked up to Will. "Will my boy! I see you've been taking care of my daughter." They shook hands. "Always Governor Swann." "What have I told you Will? You can call me your father now, we're practically related. And who is this young lady?"
Amera looked up at the Governor and stepped forward, curtsying respectfully. "Hello, I'm Am." She glanced at the other man, it was Commodore Norrington. "Amy Holmes." The Governor chuckled. "You are quite a stunning lady, Miss Holmes. I hope you will be staying with us tonight?" "Sorry Governor, I have some business to attend to, with Will's help, if he wouldn't mind." Will confusedly nodded. "Of course, Miss Holmes. Commodore Norrington, why have you returned so soon?"
Norrington walked over to Will and the Governor as Elizabeth went to Amera, she was about to ask her something when Norrington spoke. "Well, we had no luck finding Jack Sparrow, so we came back to Port Royal. But, last night, we were at the docks just coming ashore, when I bumped into the drunken mule myself!"
Amera's face grew to a worried shock. Norrington walked over to her and took her hand, "Don't worry my lady, the scoundrel has been put away in one of our prison cells. He will be hanged tomorrow." He kissed her hand and Amera was ready to puke. She gave Elizabeth and Will an evil look and Will held up a hand to signal for her to calm down.
Oh how she hated those upper-class snobs. Elizabeth and Will were nice, and the Governor was polite. But, Commodore Norrington was a stuck up selfish bastard that she would enjoy killing for pleasure.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* That night, Will and Amera made their way over to the prison cells. "Alright, you get into the prison, get Jack using these tools, and I'll take care of the guard."
Will gave her a few tools and she put them under her dark red dress. "Your going to kill a guard?" She looked at him in disbelief. "No, I'm just going to knock him out, it's not like he's a pirate!" Amera frowned at him, then walked away. "I'll take care of the guard." "Sorry!" He whispered as she went over to the cells.
She saw a guard at the entrance of the cells, but kept walking until he put a hand in from of her. "Stop! Sorry, no visitors!" Amera smiled innocently at him, then punched him in the face. The guard fell to the ground, and she walked over him, down the stairs to the cells.
Amera heard whistling at the end of the hall, from the cells. "Come 'ere doggie! Ol' Jack won't hurt you! Come on, come on!" Jack was in a cell begging a shaggy dog ten feet away from him with the keys in his mouth to come over. The uninterested dog laid down and fell asleep.
"Oh bloody 'ell!" Suddenly, Amera stepped out from the dark corner. "Well, well, well! If it isn't the infamous Jack Sparrow! Never thought a man such as yourself would sink so low as to suck up to a mutt!"
Jack stood up and lowered his eyes at her. She snickered and bent down next to the dog. "Don't you know Jack, it's not men who get what they want," She pet the dog as she took the keys from him and stood up, "It's the women!"
"Very funny! Now will you let me out?" He ordered. "Oh! That's no way to speak to a lady! Anyway, since your just standing there with no place to go, how about I run somethin' past you? Jack sighed and laid down in his cell.
"You see this necklace? She ran her fingers along her chest to her locket. Jack nodded, looking at her chest, but not the necklace. "It hold a map, a map my father left for me to find. It leads to his grave, as well as my mother's and his crew. It is an island not too far from here, maybe half a week's journey." Jack sighed, "This is a very sweet story love, but here's the thing, not interested."
Amera slowly walked closer to his cell, causing him to stand and walk to the end of the cell. "Oh, it's not just an island, Sparrow. It's an island full of gold, beyond your wildest dreams. If you take me there, with no funny business, I'll split it with you."
She took a final step close, bringing them very close. "So we split if 50 50?" "One third of it will be yours." He backed away. "What? Only a third of the treasure? There's two of us? Hows about you try to be fair and give me half you wench?" Amera became furious and pulled him to her by his collar. "Look! I am no wench! I am not doing this for the gold!" He gave her a curious look. "Then why do I get only a third?"
