Chapter one: The Pearl arrives
The night was soft and the stars lit the crystal depths of the Caribbean. A soft wind blew as a shadow appeared on the horizon.
By the morning the shadow had appeared in the busy harbour of Port Royal. This shadow was the majestic ship The Black Pearl. Her ebony body gleamed with foam and her white sails fluttered softly as she was anchored. On board a crew was bustling busily as they prepared to go ashore. The captain stood at the wheel unsure whether he wanted to leave his beloved Pearl or not.
The Black Pearl was the most feared and indeed fearsome ship that had ever sailed the Caribbean. Her captain was the most feared pirate on the high seas. Captain Jack Sparrow. He was the tall, dark and handsome type with long dark dreadlocks intertwined with beads and trinkets and held in place by a red bandana with pirate markings across it. He appeared skinny and weak but was actually tanned and muscular with thin corded legs and arms. His eyes though were by far his best feature. Creamy, rich, chocolate coloured with hazel and maroon flecks. At his left hung a polished and deathly sharp cutlass and at his right hung a decorated pistol. He placed his tattered hat on his head and swayed over to his first mate Gibbs.
~"Well mate, I'm a going ashore then."
~"Aye Captain, I'll be staying with Sam and protecting your ship then." Gibbs replied.
As Jack and his crew rowed ashore two figures slowly grew larger and Jack recognized his dear friends William Turner and Elizabeth Swann who were currently engaged. They greeted him warmly as he stepped on the dock.
~"Jack," Elizabeth said "it's so good to see you again! How've you been?"
~"Elizabeth luv, never better and Will! Howsa boy do ye own the shop yet?" Inquired Jack.
~"Yes I do," Will responded, "Master Brown retired a few weeks ago right after you left and he gave me the shop."
~"Couldn't happen to a better mate, mate. But I'm curious when ye are going to join me and me crew back on the Pearl. Ye know that there's always a spot for ye luvs." Spoke Jack.
~"Well actually Jack we were hopping to join ye when ye left. When would that be, exactly?" asked Will slipping back into pirate speech.
~"Well!" Jack retorted, "I didn't expect ye to want to come on board quite so soon!" But it's no problem; we're leaving in a week's time so ye best get all of yer belongings onto me ship before ye leave. Feel free to come any time ye want but in the meanwhile I'm going to find myself a good pub and some pleasurable company."
~"Alright Jack, we'll see you soon." Elizabeth called out to his moving form.
~"Oh and luvs, now that yer crewmates on me ship, you're going to have to start calling me Captain Jack Sparrow!" He yelled back at them.
~"Alright Captain!" Will replied with a smile dancing across his lips as he watched Jacks form disappear into the heavy crowds and walked off to his home with his lovely fiancée Elizabeth.
