Chapter 3: Capt'n Jack Sparrow
Anna continued out of the pub and found herself walking to the docks. Could it be possible? Could her father really be back? These thoughts just increased her anticipation and caused her to start running as fast as her feet could take her to what shed been waiting for, for seven years.
The last time Anna had seen her father; the infamous Jack Sparrow was 7 years ago when she was ten. She could remember it like it was yesterday. She was in the far right corner of the tavern when a strange man entered that she had never seen before. He was drenched from head to toe because of the storm that night.
Anna watched with curiosity as the man entered and approached her mother behind the bar. Anna believes this was the only time in her life that she did not see that ridiculous seductive grin on her mother's made-up face.
Anna watched as her mother dropped a pint of beer on the floor and began screaming at this man as loud as her little voice could. "YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE NERVE TO COME INTO MY TAVERN AND ASK TO SEE HER??? YOU THINK THAT JUST CUZ YA GOT YOUR LIFE TOGETHER, WELL FOR A PIRATE THAT IS, THAT SUDDENLY EVERYTHINGS ALL RIGHT?? WELL GUESS WHAT JACK ITS NOT!"
Jack. Anna's little mouth opened wide and realized that this man, this man with the bag full of shillings and jewels was Captain Jack Sparrow, her father.
Jack just sat down with a smile on his face as Gazelle went off. Once Gazelle realized this she slapped Jack across the face with all the strength she could muster, then took her attention to Anna.
"Annalisa upstairs NOW" she said in a surprisingly stern voice.
Jack turned around and looked at Anna, almost examined her, and then he smiled. " Well hullo love."
"Hello." Anna said, she was still in shock that she was meeting her father and her voice was shaking.
"Annalisa," he stood up, took off his hat and bowed. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Anna smiled "I prefer to be called Anna."
"Anna it is then! Oh and Gazelle get me bit o' rum please I'm quite thirsty." Jack said with a grin.
"But weren't you just leaving Captain?" Gazelle said in a sarcastic voice.
"Well I have to get to know my daughter a bit don't I? And I can't exactly do that with a parched throat eh?"
Anna turned around and began filling up a glass with amber colored liquid "Thanks Love" Jack said as he drank up. When he finished the rum he smacked the glass down on the table and said "Well Anna where to start?"
Anna could still remember everything from that night, which was the night she truly learned about her father without her mother's wicked spin of things on his chronicles.
The first story Jack told her though was probably her favorite amongst them all. The Black Pearl and how her father got it back. Even though she was only ten at the time she had immense respect for her father for not leaving out every little detail (including the part where he was in Tortuga with a man named William Turner). Apparently her mother had a habit of smacking people.
William Turner interested her more though then her mother's habit of sleeping with random pirates (which she unfortunately found out about at the age of 5). She had heard stories of his father, Bootstrap Bill, throughout the Tavern since she was a toddler.
After hours on end of Jack stories and Anna mentioning things about herself as well a short pudgy man with long sideburns entered the Tavern and said "Capt'n! Capt'n!"
"Ah Mr. Gibbs! I would like you to meet my daughter, Anna."
Gibbs did a weird kind of cock-eyed look and gave Anna a quick smile that was returned and continued talking to Jack. "We hav' to leave now. We've 'ad several people already trying to commandeer our ship. And it ain't looking too good, they looked like they were gonna bring others."
Jack gave confused expression to Gibbs then sighed. "All right, get the boat ready I'll be there in a few minutes."
Anna looked down and concentrated as hard as she could on her shoes, she didn't want her father going away again.
"Love, I have to go now, I'll write to you, I swear on pain of death I will indeed write to you."
Anna looked up "You will?"
"Of course and I shall be back as well in a few years, look for me." Jack stood up and kissed his daughter on the forehead and headed toward the door.
"Wait!" Anna said as she ran to catch up with him.
Jack turned around to find a ten-year-old girl hugging his rib cage as tight as she could, and he hugged her back.
"G'bye love." He said.
"Bye!" Anna called out.
And that was the last time she saw her father, Capt'n Jack Sparrow
Seven Years later, Anna finds herself running at dead speed to the docks in hope of seeing her father again. He did keep his word though, he wrote to her every other month but she was getting worried, she hadn't received a letter for three months.
As she finally approached the docks she looked around frantically and indeed did see someone familiar.
"Mr. Gibbs!" she shouted. Gibbs turned around and looked at Anna again in a confused way. It took him a while to realize who she was.
"Blessed is me. Anna! How are you?"
"I'm good, where's my father?" she said it more like a demand rather than a question.
Mr. Gibbs looked down and said "I hate to be the one to break this to ya Anna, but your dad, well he's sort of in prison."
"Prison?" Anna said bewildered.
"Yes, new settlement about 20 miles from here."
"How?" Anna asked.
"Long story, but he's due to be hung in a month. I'm so sorry. He was, and still is a great man."
Mr. Gibbs walked away and left Anna to her own tears. For hours she sat on that deck maybe even more looking onto the horizon having some crazy idea that maybe she'll see her father sailing back just like he did 18 years ago, the day he meet Will Turner.
'Will Turner' she thought and ran off. She knew where she'd have to go. She was going to find Will and he would help her save her father from a short drop and a sudden stop.
But if he didn't then it was up to her.
