Chapter 27
Dis: I OWN NOTHING...............BUT ID LIKE JOHNNY TO OWN THE OSCAR
"STOP!" Alex's voice rang out through the crowd as he shoved his way to the gallows. The executioner paused his hand still gripping the dreaded lever. He looked from Norrington, who stood beside him, to the young man in front of him as if asking permission from him to pull the lever. Norrington held up his hand telling him to wait. Angeline, who had had her eyes firmly shut, opened one hesitantly and saw Alex climbing up the stairs towards her. He turned to her for a second and smiled so that only she could see, she nodded to him in shock that she was not dead.
"By order of the future governor of Port Royale, I order you to stop and let these two prisoners go free." Alex said very officially.
Angeline's mouth dropped open and she quickly shut it. She knew that he was of nobility but not the future governor! She looked at her dad who smiled pleased that his plan had worked thus far. Governor Swann, Elizabeth, and Will ran down to the gallows and stood beside Alex. Governor Swann was obviously pleased at Alex's acceptance to his status as future governor. Elizabeth looked at Will who was trying to hold back laughter at the sight of Norrington's face which was now twisted in a state of shock and confusion.
"Alexander, are you accepting my position?" Governor Swann said excitingly.
Alex hesitated, he had never wanted to become governor, ever but if this was going to save Angeline as well as Jack, he would do it. "Yes, but on one condition."
"Anything my dear grandson." The Governor said smiling from ear to ear.
"Angeline and Captain Jack both go free and their charges are lifted." Alex said
"Alex, that is preposterous!" Gov. Swann exclaimed.
"So is my being governor but I could just back down from my offer." Alex said knowing his grandfather's answer.
"NO! Fine, they go free and the girl's charges are lifted but Mr....'Jack cleared his throat, "I mean Captain Sparrow is free to go but can never come back again."
Alex looked from Angeline to Jack. Jack nodded in approval and Alex and his grandfather shook on it. Alex quickly ran to Angeline and untied her bonds and lifted the noose from around her neck. He then embraced her in a warm hug which she gladly returned. That's when the shot rang out. Angeline felt the pain in her shoulder and cringed in pain. Norrington stood with the gun pointed towards her. "Step back, or I will shoot again." He said in a warning voice. The people that were gathered around the gallows fled in fear.
Alex let go of her, stunned that Norrington would shoot after a deal with the governor was made. As Angeline stepped back she pulled Alex's sword out of his sheath from around his waist. She held it carefully in the arm that was not wounded. She pointed the sword at Norrington and in a daring voice proclaimed, "Why don't ye fight me like a real man, eh?"
Norrington dropped his gun and drew his sword, "Gladly."
He sneered at her and slashed at her unwounded arm. The slash left a tear in her shirt and a deep slash going from her shoulder to her upper arm. She winced from the pain and made a move to stab him but he was too quick for her. Jack, who's arms were still tied, motioned for Will to come over and cut his ties. Will happily obliged and Jack stole Will's sword and went to help his daughter. He ran up behind Norrington ready to give him the ending blow. "No one hurts me girl, undastand?" Jack sneered from behind him.
Norrington turned and Angeline slashed at his back tearing his proper military outfit. She snickered. Norrington spun on his heal to face her and called for back up from Gillette, "Gillette come here and help me now!"
Gillette came to his side and Norrington whispered to him, "Leave the girl to me."
Angeline once again stabbed at Norrington but he easily blocked it and stabbed at her. She jumped in the nick of time. They fought for awhile both the Sparrows going at the two military men, the Turner's and the governor were instantly surrounded by all the other men, guns to their throats. One move to help the Sparrows and they'd be shot. The governor was not pleased with this and demanded to be let free but the men didn't listen, they were given orders by Norrington and they were not goin to back down.
The pain in Angeline's arms intensified. Her strokes grew weak with every blow she tried to hit Norrington with. Her sleeves were blood soaked and felt heavy making the task of moving her arms twice as hard. Norrington saw this and went to strike her chest, but she weakly blocked the blow so he hit her side instead. More blood seeped through her shirt from her side and Angeline began to feel her self black out. Norrington knocked the sword from her hand and punched her. She fell to the floor crawling away helplessly from him. He cornered her and was about to kill her when Norrington was stabbed from behind. He let out a groan and fell to the ground beside her. Angeline looked up wearily and saw her father hovering worriedly over her. That was the last image she saw before she blacked out.
Jack had seen Angeline fall and distracted Gillette. The distraction gave him enough time to kill Norrington. He hit him in the back with his sword and stood over Angeline as she closed her eyes tiredly. He felt anger bubbling up inside him at seeing his daughter crumpled on the ground but he could hear Gillette's footsteps coming closer and he turned angrily toward the man. He ran at him with all his strength and pierced him in the chest. Gillette fell to the ground instantly. Jack then turned to the group of soldiers, "I suggest ye step away before I do the same ta all of ye, savvy?" They all nodded enthusiastically and ran away.
Alex ran over and knelt down next to Angeline. He carefully picked her up in his arms. She felt like a rag doll hanging limply in his arms. He held her close and kissed the top of her head. Jack knelt beside him and took her from him. He felt for a pulse and smiled slightly when he felt a faint pulsing in her wrist, "Thas me girl." He said, his voice a little above a whisper.
Jack carried her over to the coach that was parked nearby and got in with Alex, Will, Elizabeth and the governor, who road in front with the stagecoach as not to bother the friends. Once in the cart Jack took off his shirt revealing a tanned, muscular body ridden with scars and some various tattoos. (a/n thats for all you jack fans)
"Jack! What do you think you're doing?" Will yelled covering Elizabeth's eyes.
Jack didn't say anything as he carefully ripped his shirt into strips. He then looked up at Will and seriously said, "I need rum."
"At a time like this! You're crazy Jack!" Will said shocked that the man took of his shirt and was now asking for rum.
"Bloody 'ell Will, do ye really think it's for me?" Jack said frustrated with how stupid Will was being.
Will's mouthed formed an O in understanding and he called for the stagecoach to stop. As the coach driver stopped Will leaped out and ran to the nearest pub. When he got there he hastily ordered two bottles of rum and ran back to the coach. He handed the two bottles of rum to Jack. Jack took the corks out expertly and poured some rum on one of the strips. He began cleaning Angeline's wounds with it.
He worked on her arms first, carefully cleaning each of the deep cuts, when he got to the one with the bullet in it her expertly managed to pick the bullet out with something he took out of his hair. Alex flinched at the sight of the bloody bullet. He bandaged both tightly and tied them with perfect knots.
He then lifted up her shirt to reveal not only the cut but her toned and tanned abdomen. He gave Alex a look that said, "Look and die." So Alex turned his head towards the window. He proceeded to clean the deep cut in her abdomen, pouring the rest of the bottle on it, the rum dripped down her side and onto the seat, leaving amber drops on the fine leather. Jack didn't care, he was too focused on his job which was currently to stop the cut from bleeding. It gushed more and more at he cleaned it. He kept tying it with the shirt strips but the bleeding would not stop. "Bloody 'ell' he swore to himself, "I ran out of shirt."
Elizabeth nudged Will who proceeded to take of his own shirt, revealing his own tanned muscles. (a/n: for all you Will fans.) Jack tore his shirt and wrapped it around Angeline. The cut had finally stopped bleeding. He recovered her abdomen and sighed as he saw the gash on her forehead. "Now where'd that come from?" He said studying the partly scabbed cut. Part of the scab had come off and was now bleeding down the side of her face.
"That pirate, James, I think, hit her." Alex whispered tiredly.
"Did he really?" Jack said lost in thought.
"It was more of an accident. I mean he was fighting me when she came at him and he turned and hit her." Alex said rapidly, the memories coming back to him.
"Whatever happened to ole Jimmy?" Jack said absentmindedly.
"I killed him, he was about to kill Angeline and I killed him." Alex said flatly. Will and Elizabeth looked at him shocked but Jack gave him a small smile.
"Atta boy, Xander, atta boy." He said quietly. He rubbed his temples and whispered to no one in particular, "I've really gotten meself into a mess this time, eh?"
Alex stared at Angeline lying lifelessly in her father's lap, her hair was matted with dried blood, her bandanna soaked in sweat. Her lip fat and bleeding from where Norrington had punched her, her clothes red with her own blood. He stared at her, his eyes boring into her face willing her to wake up.
"She'll be okay, right Jack?" Alex said his voice slightly faltering.
Jack looked up startled and then looked back down at Angeline, "Course she will, she's a Sparrow. She's damn lucky she was asleep when I pulled out tha bloody bullet, woulda hurt like a mother."
The coach pulled in front of the new Turner estate, Alex got out firs and then Will got out and helped Elizabeth out. The Governor, who was waiting outside the carriage cocked an eyebrow at Will's bare chest and was even more startled when a bare-breasted Jack got out holding a lifeless Angeline. Will opened the doors to his house and led Jack into a small guest room with a large window overlooking the ocean. Jack set Angeline on the bed and hesitantly wrapped the covers around her. He then kissed the top of her head and pulled a chair by her bed. Alex did the same and the two men waited and watched Angeline.
The day had passed and Angeline remained in her lifeless state. It was soon nighttime when Will walked into the room to find a very tired Jack with his head resting on the bed and a very tires Alex who had fallen asleep in his chair. Will smiled slightly and said, "Why don't you two go downstairs and get yourself some tea and I'll watch her?"
Jack wokeup startled and sleepily said, "Kay but if she so much as moves, ye better come 'n get me. If ye don' I won't hesitate to kill ye." With that he stumbled out of the room tiredly.
Will nodded, "And you Alex?"
Alex reluctantly nodded, "Might as well."
Alex followed Jack into the living room where a servant had served them some tea. Jack threw himself onto a couch and lay with his feet protruding over the edge while Alex sat in a comfy chair. Jack gulped down his tea, while Alex took his time. That's when Alex decided to try and talk to Jack.
"Where was Angeline uhh...born?" He asked uncomfortably.
Jack sighed, "In Spain." He said bluntly.
"Oh, she never told me that. Does she know Spanish?"
"If one lives in Spain, shouldn't one know the language?" Jack said rather annoyed.
"Oh, yeah. Do you go back there?" Alex asked trying to make conversation.
"Yeah, yeah we do. What's it to you?"
"Stop being so mean." A voice down the corridor called.
