Chapter 4
Jack rummaged around the dusty hull of the Black Pearl, looking for a musty trunk of clothes.
"Arggh! Where's the bloody trunk?!" Jack growled. "There's normal clothes in there!"
He knocked over another barrel and stubbed his toe. "Owwy, owwy, ow!" he howled, jumping up and down holding his foot. He fell backward over a chest. The chest popped open.
"Aye, I've found you!" he shuffled through the chest, pulling out townspeople-type clothes. "Now I will dress like Will and be able to buy Dominique a scarf!"
*** Elizabeth hurried through the busy streets of Port Royal, which were covered in rubble. Sweaty men that have been out all night now were cleaning up the trash. Norrington, Gov. Swann, and other soldiers were inspecting the burnt gate of the Governor's household.
"Father!"
"Elizabeth, darling, you're alright! Where is dear William and how is Noelle?" Gov. Swann comforted his daughter in a warm embrace.
"Noelle's fine but Will never returned home!" she cried frantically.
"I haven't seen him all night. Commodore, have you seen Mr. Turner?"
"Oh no, not at all," Norrington said quickly, then turned around.
Elizabeth pulled him to face her, "I know you're still upset that you couldn't have me, but if you cared the slightest bit for me, you'd help me find my husband!"
Norrington sighed, "I saw him in a rowboat by himself, looked like he was trying to escape the town."
Elizabeth froze. Will wasn't trying to leave her? Was he?
"Now, now, Norrington, I don't think Mr. Turner would such a thing. We should set out a search party." Gov. Swann suggested.
Many British soldiers set out in search of Will, as Elizabeth stood numb with confusion.
*** Jack, now dress as a common person with his bandanna, beads, and affects left in the ship, walked through Port Royal.
"Slower," he muttered to himself. "Drop the arms, loose the saunter." He was having difficulty trying to make his drunken walk seem less noticeable, but without success."
He managed to find his way among the crazy villagers to a small shop. Jack looked around the scarves, beads, and tiny trinket jewelry.
"Mary I help you, sir?" asked the storekeeper.
Jack looked up suddenly, obviously startled, and dropped a tiny wooden chest filled with beads all over the floor. He cautiously stepped over the spilt beads and came to the counter.
"Aye.er yes," Jack answered. "I'd like to buy these." He placed a red bandanna, beads, charms, and yarn on the table counter.
The shopkeeper took the 5 shillings from Jack and gave him his purchases. "That all?"
"Yes," Jack said quickly, shoving the purchases into his jacket. "Did you happen to see a tan skinned-like mine-black haired, feisty girl around here, with a miniature one beside her?"
"Nope sir. But we lost someone else in the attack. Blacksmith Will Turner, I'm afraid," the storekeeper informed him.
"Oh," Jack muttered surprised. "That's very interesting. Do you know where I can find Miss Elizabeth Swann?"
"Ah, Turner, now sir," the shopkeeper told him. "They're married."
"Oh, well that's very interesting," Jack said again. "Thank you mate! I'll just be going now. Uh, good-day!"
The storekeeper looked after him warily as Jack strutted out the door and hurried down the street.
*** Elizabeth nervously paced back and forth in her tiny cottage while the search was going on outside. She cradled tiny Noelle in her arms.
"Noelle, Daddy will come home soon! You just wait!" she smiled down at her baby's content face. "You really have you daddy's deep brown eyes!"
She smoothed down Noelle's surly brown hair and gently sang Noelle a familiar lullaby: "Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me! We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up-"
The heavy oak door suddenly burst open. It was Commodore Norrington.
"Elizabeth! How are you doing?" he asked kindly, but with a hint of a darkness in his voice. "And Noelle?"
"Fine, thank you. We're just fine." Elizabeth answered cautiously. "What brings you here?"
"Oh nothing, Gov. Swann just sent me to, uh, make sure you're alright."
"Oh, of course he did," Elizabeth answered with sarcasm in her voice.
"May I hold Noelle?" Norrington asked suddenly.
"Well, I guess, just for a moment," Elizabeth eyed him carefully before placing Noelle in his arms.
He looked down at the baby and smiled sadly, "this could've been my child."
Elizabeth awkwardly took Noelle away from him. "Commodore, really, why are you here?" she asked concernedly.
"Because I love you Elizabeth! I know you're in love with Will but-"
"Yes, I love Will! I know I've said this many times, but you need to move on!" Elizabeth cried exasperatedly.
"But Elizabeth, I must ask you! What will you do if Mr. Turner never returns?"
"One, Will is coming home! And, two."
Norrington stopped her by pressing his lips firmly against hers.
Elizabeth gasped and pulled away, fiercely slapping him across the face. "Get out! Now! I'm in love with Will and always will be! So you need to find somebody else's life to ruin!"
"No! I cannot leave you!"
"If you don't leave here, I will!" Elizabeth stomped across the room and grabbed her bag. She slammed the door shut behind her, Noelle securely in her arms.
She raced down the street and collided with Jack Sparrow dressed as a merchant of some kind.
"'Ello mate!" he greeted her.
