A/N4-Feelin' pretty good right now-We had to read a book of our choice *well, it had to be a classic, but still our choice* and I chose Emma, and that's written by Jane Austen, my English teacher's favorite author. I never got into the book and only read 15 pages of it and then realized, she would assign two large essays to us. Wow...I was in trouble. Or not! I got them back today and got an A-! How I pulled that off I'll never know BUT I did it! WOO!
Chapter 16-Great Expectations
"So, lass...what did ye go through?" Jack asked Pearl, with a look of concern on his face.
Pearl sighed deeply and looked into the eyes of the famous pirate. "I was taken away by a large man...I tried to cut the ropes that held my wrists together so I could jump overboard and swim back, but he saw me and put a blade to my throat." She said, pointing to the scar on her neck. "He said he would kill me if I tried anything like that. Then I started thinking about your son...if he was dead or not. It made me want to cry. Then, when we reached shore, I gave him attitude, not caring if he killed me or not. Then they shoved me back where the men couldn't see me and when it was my turn, they threw me on table to auction me off...I think you know the rest."
Jack nodded. "I'm sorry, Pearl."
Pearl looked up at him in confusion. Why was he apologizing?
"E...excuse me?"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't go with Jack to find ye, I'm sorry that all that happened to ye, and I'm sorry that I didn't get there sooner. I feel like it's all me fault." He admitted, not looking at her face once.
"Mr. Sparrow...Jack...it's not your fault. It's mine...when he told me he loved me that night, I should've stopped all of you from going in the first place. But I was scared. No one had ever loved me before."
"It's ok, lass."
"No, I'm not done. Then, the night that Jack came back for me, a suitor was there and he proposed to me. Jack got mad at me because he thought I was interested in this man, but I wasn't! He left and I didn't stop him again."
Jack grinned. "Ye could've gotten him drunk."
Pearl gave a little laugh. "I would have if he didn't hate rum so much."
Jack nodded and Pearl sighed before continuing. "After that...I followed him out and went after him to try and stop him. I went to three different places before I could find him. Once I did, it took a lot of work to get him to listen to me. That was the night...the night I told him I loved him." Pearl said, smiling.
Jack snapped his head up and looked at her. "Ye...ye love me son??"
"Well...yes!" She exclaimed laughing.
"Oh, Pearly!" He jumped up, scaring her half to death. He then embraced her in a big hug. "Welcome to the family."
"Mr. Sparrow, out of all kindness, we're not married yet and we won't be if you don't let me breath." She forced out.
"Oh, right, sorry then." Jack replied, sitting down again.
He sighed heavily. "Jack Sparrow...most fearsome pirate in the Caribbean...a grandfather!"
"WHAT?!" Pearl exclaimed.
~*~*~*~
Will sat on the port deck, waiting for any sign of a ship. He long awaited the return of his daughter, safe and sound...and hopefully still a virgin.
He sat, slouched over, holding his head in his hands, sighing every so often.
"Is she back yet?"
Will jumped, then looked over his shoulder. There stood Jack with a worried look on his face.
"If she was, would I still be here? Even so, what are you doing here? You could be caught and hung!"
"I really don't care anymore. I was dying inside. Ye know, when ye love someone, ye'll go to drastic measures just to see that person again."
Will nodded, then looked to Jack. "That was beautiful."
Jack smirked. "I may be a pirate, but that doesn't mean I can't say something meaningful e'ry once and a while."
Will laughed. "I know what you mean. When Elizabeth was gone, I did everything in my power to get her back."
"I tell ye," Jack started. "If I knew where Pearl was, I'd swim the entire ocean just to see her again."
"You really love her, don't you?" Will asked curiously.
Jack nodded, then sighed. "More than ye'll ever know."
~*~*~*~
"Are we there yet?"
"Not even close, lass." Jack answered grimly.
"I miss him." Pearl said, not exactly talking to anyone in particular.
"We all do, love. Each and every one of us." Jack replied.
Pearl nodded, but noticed something about what the man said.
"Jack...you called me love."
"Aye, that I did..."
"So, Jack wasn't lying."
"What are ye talking about?"
"The first time Jack called me love, he said he got it from you. He said you called my mother that and many other woman that." She paused to laugh. "I could've sworn he had a thing for me from the start."
Jack looked at her seriously.
"He did. Always had something for ye, always will."
~*~*~*~
Will sighed again and rubbed his weary eyes. He yawned and then grabbed the spyglass at his side. Picking it up and putting it to his eye, he noticed a small speck in the distance.
"Can't be them." He muttered to himself. He wiped the spyglass with his shirt, and put it up to his eye. The speck was there...only bigger. It resembled the shape of a ship.
"Jack...Jack!! COME HERE!" Will yelled over his shoulder.
Jack looked at his older friend and ran over. "Aye?"
"Ship! There! Look!!" He handed the spyglass to Jack and waited.
"It's her!"
"Pearl??"
"Yes!!"
"JACK, GIVE ME THAT!" Will quickly grabbed the spyglass and looked.
"Jack...I still only see a ship."
Jack sighed heavily. "Exactly, mate! It's the Pearl!"
Will looked at Jack and slapped him upside the head. "I MEANT MY DAUGHTER!"
Jack thought for a minute before replying. He then let out a short laugh. "Hehe...wrong Pearl."
They sat on the port a few more minutes before Jack said something.
"There she is..."
Will sighed and rolled his eyes. "We've already established that, Jack."
"No!! It's Pearl! As in...Pearl Turner."
Will once again grabbed the spyglass and looked through. "It's my daughter!" Surely enough, he did see a small figure, but obviously a female. As it grew closer, Will could see it was Pearl, doing something...either singing or talking to herself.
~*~*~*~
"We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me..."
Jack walked over to the side of the ship and looked at the girl.
"Where'd ye learn that?"
"My mother used to sing it to me before I fell asleep."
Jack smirked. "That explains a lot."
Pearl noticed something and leaned forward to see it more clearly. "JACK! SHORE!"
Jack quickly put his spyglass to his eye and looked. "YER RIGHT LASS! Uh oh...who are they?"
"What?"
Jack looked even more closely and once they got closer to land, he gasped.
"IT'S ME SON!"
"WHAT?!"
"ME SON!! Oh...yer father too, but ME SON'S ALIVE!"
Pearl gasped and tried to see both men waiting for them. Both her father and the man she loved were alright. She leaned far over the ship to hide her face from Jack. Small crystal tears fell from her eyes. For once, she had something worth living for again.
