AN: Mavis beat up Jack to a) prove she was stronger, b)to make Jack scared because if she wouldn't hurt him, there would be no danger for Jack to help Norrington, but if she would hurt him, then Jack would be at risk, c) Jack acted again like he was all high and mighty like when they were kids, and Mavis's temper snapped. d) He kinda interfered, and one rule of a pirate you never want to break is getting between a pirate and her/his victim/opponent. Because then things will get really nasty for the interfering person.

That's all the reasons.

By the way, did anyone catch the use of the apples? Mavis served on Barbossa's ship and he loved apples, so Mavis learned to do certain things with them, like, puting an addictive in the apples Barbossa ate so he would be forever obsessed with apples. It was kind of her revenge.

Anyway, next chapter.

Sorry for the late update. I have been really busy with my choir practices and concerts. And I'm going to be busy with my rainbow stuff and catching up on the homework I missed for my concert.

Chapter 7.

Commodore Davenport walked down the docks making certain that all was well in the city. Then he heard heavy boots o the wood and turned around. It was Jack Sparrow, and he didn't notice Commodore Davenport-yet.

"Call the troops, get him!" Commodore Davenport yelled as he pointed at Jack, the red coats quickly began a chase, and Jack ran down the alley ways in desperate attempt at escape. Norrington's words came back to him. Jack ran down and turned the corner and right into the point of a gun of a red coat. He turned and the pursuing regulars pointed there guns at him. Jack quickly looked around him for an escape, there was none, and he raised his arms.

"Well, well, well, Mister Sparrow. I have been dreaming of capturing you all my life." Commodore Davenport said.

"Captain, if you please. And I don't believe I was born when you entered the ranks, let alone a pirate." Jack replied, grinning at his marvelous insult.

"You should do well to hold your tongue, In fact I might have to cut it out for you. But then, I wouldn't get to hear your scream at the gallows tomorrow night."

"I'll die grinning, it be no scream of mine ye'll hear." Jack replied. Davenport nodded and ordered his men to escort Jack to the Jails, passing by a stooped beggar woman selling apples.

The beggar woman walked away with the faint cry of "apples, apples for sale."

"I can't let you in there alone."

"Yes you can, I promise I won't let him escape." Will argued.

"I can't do that sir, I'm sorry. You may go with an escort, but not alone." The regular insisted.

"What I have to say is between friends in a friends final moments."

"Well, then it can be shared with a friend and another friend in the presence of a regular."

"If you think I was going to help Jack escape, what would stop me from knocking you unconscious right here and now, go down and free Jack?" Will asked.

"Uhhhhhhh.........."

"Thank you. I'll be back up in a few minutes." Will walked past the dumfounded guard and down to Jack's cell.

"Will." Jack said as Will came near. Will sat down on a bench opposite the cell where Jack was sitting.

"Hello."

"Glad you came mate. I was getting awfully bored down here all by me lonesome without none to talk to-or come up with an escape." Jack grinned that confoundedly annoying grin.

"I don't think there is going to be an escape, Jack." Will replied sadly.

"Me neither." Jack agreed, "I guess karma has finally caught up with me eh?" Will looked at Jack oddly. "It's been a long time. Twenty nine years I believe. You know I told you I made a terrible mistake." Will nodded.

"After your sister showed up and you told me your mother died and your town was destroyed." Will answered. Jack nodded his head slowly. "Who kill your mother and destroyed your town anyway. You never told me." Jack looked away and out the window to the night sky. At dawn he would hang.

"I did." He replied, still looked out the window. Will was speechless. "I killed them all, by another's hand, yet if it were not for me they would all be alive. And tomorrow I will hang. I suppose that the dead forgive me, but Mavis has not, and neither have I. So tomorrow I will die. We actually did get along once, a long time ago. But small little things started a small little rift, that grew and grew to drastic proportions, never to be sewn up again. We always loved sitting together on a cliff and looking out at the sunset over the ocean and tell each other of all the dreams we had. We lost that childish innocence when Mom needed more and more help, and we got older, and Mavis started coming home every night beat up by village kids that didn't like a girl that wasn't obedient. That started the rift. It might have been alright if Mom and I didn't expect to make her obedient to us. "

"You are a good man Jack." Will said, "despite a man's past, it's a man's present that hold true to who he is." Jack grinned remembering at the first hanging that Will had told Norrington that Jack was a good man. It had been a welcome relief to the doubts in his mind.

"Maybe so, Will." Jack suddenly grinned and got to his feet. "But tomorrow I'll pay me due, unless I can escape again." Jack winked and grinned, Will tried not to make a comment on Jack's serious lack of hygiene. Then decided against it.

"You need a bath. Badly." He said. Jack burst out laughing with Will.

"Thanks, mate. Goodbye then." Jack said through his chuckles.

"Goodbye, Jack. Elizabeth says goodbye too." Will got up to leave.

"Oh, and Will, glad your really not a eunuch." Will rolled his eyes and left, leaving Jack alone.

~~~~

At the gallows. Dawn.

Elizabeth groaned and struggled out of the carriage to see Jack. Will helped her get out. Governor Swann really did not like the fact that Elizabeth had insisted on going to see Jack before he died, given she was very pregnant.

Elizabeth and Will got to the courtyard and where immediately surrounded and Will was removed of his sword. Will rightly guessed that they didn't want him interfering with Jack's death again.

Jack was standing on the platform with the noose around his neck. It was a very uncomfortable noose and was itching like crazy. He looked over to Will and Elizabeth, glad that they had come, and also highly amused at them being surrounded by half of the regulars to make certain they didn't try anything. Elizabeth looked very pale and tired. Jack assumed it had to do with being pregnant and thought nothing more of it.

The drummers began to roll. And a woman screamed, everyone looked to Elizabeth-whose water just broke.

All pandemonium broke out.

Elizabeth yelled a long stream of profanities at numerous regulars, including Norrington and Davenport. Governor Swann fainted on the floor after muttering an "oh my goodness.' so people where fanning his face trying to get him to wake up, Peasants gathered around Elizabeth who was lying down on the ground screaming at her husband to get her out of here. So Will, trying to be heroic and sweep Elizabeth off her feet, miscalculated the weight she gained with the twin and couldn't even lift her a little.

"You are too heavy."

"ARE YOU CALLING ME FAT!!!!!!! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Elizabeth hollered at the top of her lungs.

"A little help here!" Will yelled desperately trying to pick his wife up, six regulars braved Elizabeth's various slap s and probabilities and screams that could wake the dead. And even with the seven of them, they could only lift Elizabeth off the ground a little bit. But they continued to grunt and snort until they had heaved her to the nearest bed-which so happened to be the house of another pregnant woman who was also giving birth and hailing a long stream of curses and oaths.

And in all of the chaos, Jack stood on the gallows forgotten even by the executioner, who was apparently wanting to get a peek at the birthing and left.

Well, almost forgotten.

Mavis crawled up the stairs and cut the rope that was on Jack's neck. And Jack, needing no prompting, followed her off the gallows and down to the coast by a narrow passage.

Even down the cliff to where the docks where, Elizabeth was still heard yelling profanities. Jack looked at his sister who was regarding him closely. "I forgive you now, Jack. And I never want to see your face again. Do you hear me." Jack nodded. Mavis pointed behind her, "go. I never want to see your face ever again." Jack nodded and ran down the way she was pointing.

Back up in the courtyard, the peasants, finally realizing that They weren't going to see Elizabeth, turned back to the gallows-only to see it empty.

Norrington sighed very deeply when he and the other regulars returned and saw this. Only Will and the doctor were with Elizabeth.

"That has got to be the best pirate I have ever seen." Gillette commented.

"I'm figuring that out now." Norrington replied. "And it is irking me to no end at all."

At nightfall

Elizabeth was holding her two newly born twins in her arms, her husband was right beside her and the doctor had left some time ago.

The two twins, a boy and a girl, were names Jacques and Maviline. But only formally, to everyone else, they were Jack and Mavis, named after the two pirate twins that were separated by a drastic mistake, kept apart by hate, and forgiven by redemption and time. These two, the beginning of a new generation would be bonded forever by love between twins. They would have many adventures and love life. They would go through life together and not through prejudice against woman not being able to do anything of any importance.

Jack looked in the window at his two friends and the twins that were his name sake. And smiled. Then left to go off to his adventures with out a heavy heart. He doubted he would ever see them again. But then, he didn't really want to. That would mean shattering the beautiful and happy image that he had just left. They will be alright. Jack had already said his goodbyes, and he left to go travel the world again.

Only this time, he wore no mask.
