AN: I think I'm going to make this relatively long-the whole story that is.
Thank a bunch for the reviews.
By the way, the summary cut off the last part. It was "He'll have hell to pay." Just to let you know.
And when Mary sang the song she changed the words, so it would have been, "All ye sailors young and strong, never trust the liars words...." Just to let you know.
And thank you captain-beano for adding this story to your favs.
Chapter 4.
Three years later.
Captain Jack Sparrow was visiting Elizabeth and Will and Elizabeth was holding her two year old son and she was well on her way with another.
The three of them were in a small unknown city. The city was called Solace because that is what people who came here got. No one was aloud to get arrested, no one stole, no one committed any crime or arrested anyone for a crime committed elsewhere. It was a peaceful little town near the coast, but ships rarely docked there-they always docked far-off shore and came in in rowboats. The reason being that the towns perimeter stopped before the shore, so ships weren't protected by the law.
Jack was drowning grogs like their was no tomorrow, and Will only had one pint of rum which wasn't even near finished. Elizabeth refused to touch it. Patting her belly and saying she didn't want her kids to grow up addicted. Jack had only laughed.
"So, how's the town going since I've left?" Jack asked.
"Norrington's been promoted to Admiral." Elizabeth said, "and though he would never admit it, he likes you as a good person."
"Really? Admiral? And I'm earning meself a fair reputation." Jack said proudly.
"A better reputation than you think. People have been spreading rumors about you like wildfire. Me and Elizabeth too." Will replied. Jack started to laugh.
"Well, by the powers. Glad I got to see you two. I bet you son here and the one that's on the way will be plenty mischievous to keep you busy." Jack laughed.
"Oh, no, Jack, don't say that. I already have enough on my hands being the best and richest blacksmith in the Spanish Main." Will complained.
"Well, look who's boasting here." Jack replied.
"Oh, the two of you! Enough! And that also brings me to some news the doctor gave me." Elizabeth replied.
"Oh really, what is it then?" Jack asked.
"It's not one that's coming. It's two, a boy and a girl. I'm going to have twins!" Elizabeth exclaimed gleefully. Jack almost choked on his grog. Twins? Boy and a Girl? He put the tankard on the table.
"I'm going to be the father of three children?" Will kissed his wife's cheek and grinned. Then the two noticed Jack. His mood had gone completely sober.
"I wish you the best of luck, mates." He said.
"Jack, what's wrong?" Will asked concerned.
"I had twin." He said softly. The news was a surprise to both Will and Elizabeth.
"Really? What was his name?" Will asked.
"Her. Her name was Mavis." Jack replied solemnly.
"What was she like?" Elizabeth asked.
"Well, when we were eight I had gotten into an argument with my mom, and we were sticking are tongue out at each other. Mavis said, 'No French kissing long distance' mum slapped her upside the head for that. It was really funny now that I think back on it." Jack answered. Will and Elizabeth started laughing.
"She seems the adventurous one." Elizabeth said, "did she make your hat?"
"Yes, actually, it was the first and last thing she tried doing with a needle. It's well made if a bit crudely made. But it's very strong and I keep it as a memory she made it when she was seven, mum made her, told her that it was woman's work and Mavis needed to earn her living. Mum decided after that it wouldn't be all that much of a living if Mavis didn't have any blood left in her fingers." He grinned fleetingly, a shadow grew over his face.
"what happened to her?" Will asked, "you speak as if something bad had happened, or if she was gone."
"I think it's been twenty nine years. We was eleven when last we met." Jack looked down into his drink.
"What happened?" Will asked.
"Pirates attacked our town. A cannon went through mum, a timber crushed Mavis. I was the only one that got out alive." He was at this point starring down at his shoes. Elizabeth and Will looked back at each other.
"Jack..." Elizabeth said cautiously. She never got to finish her sentence. Jack's ears heard the tinkering of a song that he had heard once many years ago. And there was a voice that started to sing.
"Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain All ye maidens hede my warning
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow Leaving you to never mend
They will vow to always love you
Swear no love but yours will do
Then they'll leave you for another
Break your little heart in two Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain If I were a little sparrow
O'er these mountains I would fly
I would find him, I would find him
Look into his lying eyes
I would flutter all around him
On my little sparrow wings
I would ask him, I would ask him
Why he let me love in vain I am not a little sparrow
I am just the broken dream
Of a cold false-hearted lover
And his evil cunning scheme Little sparrow, little sparrow
Precious fragile little thing
Little sparrow, little sparrow
Flies so high and feels no pain All ye maidens fair and tender
Never trust the hearts of men
They will crush you like a sparrow
Leaving you to never mend Little sparrow, little sparrow
Oh the sorrow never ends "
Jack's grog shattered on the floor. His tanned face was devoid of all color. His back was facing the door and he slowly turned around. There was a woman, tall and skinny, she was dressed in a pale blue dress that clung to what little curves she had. A large floppy and feathered hat, not unlike Barbossa's, hid her face from view. She raised her head and looked him straight into his eyes. Will looked at the panic stricken captain to the new woman. The strange women clearly knew Jack, her face was angular and reminded him of a hawk: hawk swooping down ion her prey. The strange woman had almost the same colored honey-brown eyes as Jack, and though her hair was dirty blond and Jack's was dark brown, it had the same texture except her hair was combed and cleaned-so it was also curly. Will continued to see the similarities between the two, like their stance. Except the strange woman's eyes were full of pure undisguised hate and loathing. It was enough to chill the bone. It was Elizabeth that finally figured out who the strange woman was. But she held her tongue.
"Mavis." Jack finally said. Mavis leveled a gun between his eyes.
"Hello my long lost twin. Long time no see." The woman, Mavis, spat.
"Hello, you must be Mavis. I'm glad to finally meet you. Jack just told us a brief history. Would you care to join us for awhile? We could talk things out." Elizabeth said, desperately trying to not get someone killed.
"I am Mavis. Mavis Singing Bird." Mavis replied. She tossed the music box at Jack. He caught it clumsily and looked at it.
"Looks like it's in good shape." Jack said nervously examining the tarnished and battered music box that still was missing the little sparrow that perched on top of it.
"No thanks to you." Mavis replied flatly. Her pistol was still level to Jack's head.
"Mavis, you gone mad! Put that pistol down." Mavis cocked the gun and shook her head.
"Go to hell." She said, and pulled the trigger.
It clicked.
Jack slowly opened his eyes. Mavis was standing over him with a malicious smile on her face.
"When you learn what you have done. I'll be back twin. And you better hope I stay alive because then I'll haunt you to the grave."
And with that, Mavis turned and left the tavern. And Jack finally dared to breathe again.
AN: Am I evil enough? I have the plot all created. But comment and questions are still greatly appreciated. So are compliments. And I made it long-ish. Hope you liked.
