Chapter 16- Don't Be Too Long Jack
Romi was still hanging on as the Pearl approached them on the opposite side. She heard the first of the cannon shots being fired. She decided to wrap that loose piece of rope around her wrist in case the ship got hit and she had something to hold her.
On the Pearl, Jack, Will and the crew were readying themselves to board the Night Princess. Will made sure Angela stayed in the cabin, though she put up a fight, she promised she would stay. As soon as they were close enough they swung over to the other ship. Jack ordered 3 men to search for the gold as he got into the first swordfight with an opposing crewmember. His eyes searched for Martinez and he found him engaged in a swordfight with one of his crewmembers. He ran his sword into the pirate he was fighting and made his way to the Captain. When he reached him he motioned for the other pirate to leave.
Jack stood glaring at Martinez. "Where's Romi?"
"That be none of ye're concern Sparrow." The two men were circling each other.
Romi finally decided she needed to get out there. She reached for the railing and using the rope she held, managed to grab on and pull herself up and over the railing. There were fights going on everywhere. A pirate lay dead near her, she quickly grabbed the sword he still held in his cold hand, and ran onto the deck hoping to find Jack. She spotted Will and went up to him. He saw her and quickly put his arms around her while he moved her away from the fights. "Are you alright Romi?"
"I'm fine, don't worry, remember I grew up on a pirate ship, I had experience with a sword. Where's Jack?"
Will's eyes motioned to the edge of the ship where Jack and Martinez still stood, apparently talking about something. She got up and ran over to them.
"What do you want with Romi Martinez? You know as well as I that ye're not really her father."
Martinez laughed out loud. "So she bought it did she? Of course she is not my daughter, that little whore belongs to Ramos, and the only thing I'll be getting from 'er is the money I'll git from selling 'er off to any man who'll have 'er. Want to be the first to pay me Sparrow?"
Jack's face reddened, he lifted his sword and brought it down hard to meet Martinez's sword. Nearby Romi stood, her eyes wide. She heard the whole thing and now tears welled up in her eyes. How stupid she had been to believe him, she almost cost Jack his life. She snapped out of it and stood watching the two men fighting. Jack had the advantage, backing the evil captain into a corner. Martinez caught sight of Romi and having been distracted Jack took the opportunity and struck him in the belly with his cutlass. Martinez fell to his knees and Jack removed his sword from him as he dropped onto the deck. Jack turned around and saw Romi. His face seemed to brighten and she ran and clung to him. He brought her into his embrace and buried his face into her hair. Romi opened her eyes and saw Martinez reach for his gun and take aim with a shaky hand. She reached into Jack's coat brought out his pistol and fired it, shooting him right in the head. Jack spun around and looked at him, now as sure as ever that he was dead.
From the Pearl, the lookout boy yelled, "Captain! The Interceptor is approaching!" Jack looked out into the horizon and saw they were close. He would be arrested for sure. His crew has by now taken over the Night Princess having killed off the remaining crew. The three that Jack ordered to find the gold, apparently did find it and were busy trying to get the trunks onto the Pearl. He knew that the English Navy would eventually catch up to his ship and not only confiscate the gold but hang every one of his crew.
There was only one thing to do. He had to give himself up and stay on the Night Princess, while the Navy took him prisoner, his crew could take the Pearl and get away. Jack looked at Romi. "Wait 'ere luv."
He walked up to Will and whispered something in his ear. Will's face became white, and hesitated before nodding in approval to Jack and he went off to find Gibbs to relay the message. Jack made his way back to Romi and grabbed her hand as he led her to the edge of the rail across from the Black Pearl.
"I want ye to go over to the Pearl with Will. I need to stay 'ere and make sure the gold and the crew get over safely, savvy?"
Not really sure what he meant, she agreed. "Don't be too long Jack."
Jack smiled at her and placed a kiss on her forehead. "I won't be."
Romi went over to Will who was ready with a rope to swing back over to the Pearl. She held on to Will but looked back over her shoulder to Jack, who just stood looking at her. He mouthed the words "I love you" to her. She smiled and mouthed the words "I know" back at him. Jack gave her a wink and turned back to helping his crew with the gold. Will swung over and made it onto the deck. He began to help the others getting the gold across.
Angela came out of her room and ran up to Romi and the two friends hugged. They stood together watching as the last of the gold made it's way onto the Pearl. The Interceptor was almost upon them. All the crew were back on their ship except for Jack who stood on the deck of the Night Princess. He nodded to Will and Gibbs who nodded back at their Captain, and they began to cut to the ropes that held the Pearl to the other ship.
Romi yelled at Will and Gibbs. "What are you doing? Jack's still over there!" She looked out at Jack who was just staring out at the Interceptor. The Black Pearl was already making its way out into the ocean. Jack began to wave his arms at the Interceptor. Romi started to scream and cry. "No we have to go back! We can't just leave him! Go Back!"
Will had to grab her and try to restrain her. "It's what he wanted Romi. We would all be caught if he didn't stay behind."
"I don't care! They'll kill him! We can't just let them take Jack!"
Romi was hysterical. Angela came over and tried to calm her down. She put her head on her friend's shoulder and cried. Angela led her away from the deck and into the cabin.
The Interceptor finally reached the Night Princess and several navy members swung over to the other ship. The grabbed Jack and placed him in shackles. They returned to their ship with Jack and led him to the Commodore. "Well, well. If it isn't Jack Sparrow."
"Captain Jack Sparrow if you please." He said with a half smile.
"Well Captain Sparrow, you are under arrest by order of the king of England. Being as you are a pirate we are to bring you in at once to Port Royal where you'll be hung for your many crimes. Gillette, take him to the cell below."
Gillette grabbed him by his arm and led him below deck. They reached the cell and he was pushed in as he locked the door. He then turned on his heel and left back up the stairs.
Jack sat on the floor on his cell. He knew they would never be able to catch up to his Pearl and as long as his crew and Romi were safe, he was content with his decision. Now he just had to wait till they reached Port Royal, where he had nowhere to go but to the gallows.
