Chapter 26

Dis: I own nothin..........cept my many pictures of orlando and johnny....do they count?



Angeline awoke to find that she had fallen asleep on the hard rock of the ledge just under the window. She sighed and looked out of it. She found the day to be dark and gloomy, the air heavy and thick with fog. What a nasty day, she thought. Then she remembered what was going to take place in the next couple of hours. She was to be hanged. A bolt of fear struck her heart and it started beating rapidly. She needed to do something, anything. So she got on her knees and prayed to no one in particular,

"I don't know if you can hear me, or if someone's even there. Or if you would listen, to a pirates prayer. But still I'm going to talk to you because I have some things I need to say before I meet ye in person." She sighed.

'Please help me and me family. We don't deserve this. We haven't done anythin' bad,' She rethought her words, 'Well too bad anyways. Please let me dad's plan, whatever it is, go as planned. Let me pass this obstacle and be able to be free once again. Umm, Thanks. Uhh, Amen, I guess." She said unsure of how to end a prayer.

Jack pretended to be asleep through his daughter's prayer but he had heard every single word. She was growing up so fast, right in front of his very eyes. Leaned down next to him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Jack pretended to be awakened by this and gave her a grin. "Sleep well, princess?"

Angeline shrugged, "Not what I'd want my last sleep to be like but it was fine."

"I wasn't your last dear. Me plan is gonna work, dontcha worry bout it."

"Okay dad, I won't worry about it then." Angeline said sighing.

Alex paced around the blacksmith shop nervously. Will, who was working, looked up and followed Alex's movements with his eyes. He worried for his son. This was such a big step for him, first being on a pirate ship, and now being a hero to the girl he loved. "Alex, you're gonna make a hole in the ground if you keep pacing like that."

Alex looked up surprised, "Sorry dad."

"Tell me what's on your mind, son." Will said pushing the chair next to him with his foot.

Alex sat down with his father and spilt his heart out, "Well, you know how mum said that Angeline could stay with us if she wanted to?"

"Yeah?"

"Well she hasn't answered me yet and I want to know. Dad I'm dying to know!"

"What do you think she'll do?" Will said questionably.

"That's the thing! Angeline isn't like most girls. She's.....unpredictable!" Alex said frustrated.

"She's a pirate, they're all like that."

"That's why I'm afraid she'll go and choose the sea over me."

"But she seemed like she really loved you." Will said truthfully.

"That's why I can't predict what she's goin to do!"

"She'll do what she feels is best. If she stays great! But if she leaves, well then, you'll have to move on."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MOVE ON!?!" Alex yelled frustrated.

"I mean, get another girl. There's plenty of fish in the sea."

"But she isn't a fish dad, she's a sparrow. They're two different animals."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Will asked questionably.

"Well, Angeline isn't like most girls, the fishes, who never change until they die, and all they see is what's put in front of them. She's more like and bird, someone that wants to see the world and fly away from everything and everyone. To be free."

"You aren't making any sense, Alex. Aren't fish just as free as birds are?"

"The point is fish and birds are different, as are other girls and Angeline." Alex said matter-of-factly

Will rolled his eyes and murmured, "Teenage logic."

A few hours later

Alex stood in front of the gallows wringing his hands nervously. They hangmen stood next to the two loops that had been hung waiting for Angeline and Jack. The person who was to read their charges stood waiting anxiously to do his job. A crowd had formed around the gallows and was chattering excitedly. The crowd made it seem as though watching people hang was some sort of sick entertainment. Alex sneered at this, watching people die is no means of entertainment.



A sudden hush fell over the crowd as Angeline and Jack were lead up by Commodore Norrington to the gallows. Angeline looked down at her feet for once embarrassed. She didn't like being in front of hundreds of people. Especially if they were there to watch her die. She shuddered, how sick this people are! Angeline looked up and scanned the crowd, looking for Alex. When her eyes locked on to his shining amber ones. She forced a smile, to show him that everything would be all right, and he returned it with his own sad smile. Angeline stared at him so that she would never forget the way he looked, his brown curly hair pulled in a ponytail beside his face, his amber eyes shining with sadness, his lips pulled into a thin line. He was wearing fancier clothes than the last time she saw him, as was his mother and father. She wondered why this could be but dismissed the thought as the man who was to be reading their charges cleared his voice.



The man read over Jack's charges (a/n same ones as in the movie) and then cleared his throat once again and began to read Angeline's, "Angeline Sparrow, daughter of Jack Sparrow, has been charged with piracy, theft, burglary, pick pocketing, the kidnapping of one, Mr. Alexander Turner, and the impersonation of Spanish Royalty." Angeline snickered as she heard the last one, she remembered when she pretended to be the future princess of Spain in one town and they all gave her tons of gifts and money because they believed her. The man stopped reading and walked off of the gallows and the executioner walked toward them. Jack mouthed, "Love ye baby sparrow," to Angeline as they put the noose around his neck. Then he walked over to Angeline, whose eyes were now wide with fear. He placed the rope around her neck and tugged it hard, smiling disgustingly at her through the black mask he wore. She felt the rope burn her neck and shuddered. The executioner walked over to the lever put a firm hand around the top and pulled.
