Chapter Two
The harbor was dark when the shadowy ship entered the harbor. The ship by name was the Black Pearl and it held the crew of Captain Jack Sparrow.
"Now what do you suppose Jack Sparrow would be doin' this side a the Caribbean?" Mr. Jacobs handed Kate the telescope.
Kate raised an eyebrow as she looked, "I can only imagine. Mr. Jacobs rouse the crew we're going to surprise the good Captain."
Mr. Jacobs moved away from her to awaken the crew. Kate sat and chewed her lip. This was indeed interesting. She had not thought word of her adventure would catch so quickly but apparently the infamous Jack Sparrow had heard and intended to do something about it. "Didn't waste anytime finding us."
Her ship the night flame was hidden in a cove off the harbor of Port Royal. She knew she was hidden against the prying eyes of the British navy but she wasn't entirely certain that Jack Sparrow and his crew wouldn't know where to look. She grinned, she had anticipated this moment. She knew eventually that word would spread to him and he had come exactly as she had hoped.
Jack Sparrow was the only person she knew that would be able to help her. To well she knew the story of the cursed crew of the Black Pearl and many times had she heard the story of Jack regaining his ship from Barbossa. Indeed, he was the one she needed and he would help her of that she was sure.
***
"Cap'n," a young man by the name Twills came into the cabin where Jack was eating.
"Yes?"
"We've reached the harbor. Ana Marie sent me for you," he replied.
Jack grinned, "I'll be there." He stood and made his way out onto the upper decks where Ana Marie and Mr. Gibbs stood. "Now there's a sight mine eyes have missed," Jack chuckled remembering the last venture he had made to Port Royal upon when he had gained Will and Elizabeth.
"There's no sight of the Night Flame anywhere," Will said coming up onto the decks.
Jack turned, "That's because you don't know where to look, mate. She'll like the element of surprise no doubt."
"Unlike others we know," Elizabeth said joining them as well.
Jack smiled, "What can I say. I can't help myself."
"So where will we find her?" Will asked.
Jack turned to survey the harbor. "There," he pointed squinting his eyes as though to further his vision in the dark gloom. "There's a cove along there that the British navy doesn't know about. She'll be there. I would swear by it."
"Well then that's wonderful," Elizabeth said sarcastically. "Now all we need to do is go attack some ship with a hundred some odd pirate's and get the map from this Morgan woman."
Jack laughed outright at this, "Unfortunately I'm not that stupid." He glanced briefly at Will who glared. "Negotiations will be in order. As much as I would love a good fight with the woman, Kate Morgan will not go down easily."
"Know her do you?" Mr. Gibbs asked.
Jack shrugged, "I might. Barbossa killed her father. Needless to say I was there the night he died."
"So you knew the map wasn't lost?" Will asked.
"Yes," Jack said twirling a dagger in his fingers. "I did know. I also knew who had it but I was waiting for the, ah, opportune moment."
Will rolled his eyes, "So you know Kate as well?"
"Aye," Jack replied. "If anyone can find that blasted treasure it's her. But we'll find her in the morning and until then be on your guard men."
At Elizabeth's emphasized harrumph and Ana Marie's dark look Jack grinned and added, "And women, of course."
Will followed Elizabeth down to the cabin they shared. "He still annoys me to no end," Elizabeth muttered.
Will laughed as he opened the door. "Jack's crazy, true, but he's smarter then he lets on."
"So -" she was cut off as someone grabbed her around the waist and clamped a hand over her mouth. Her startled eyes found Will in the same position.
Will struggled against the person holding him but to no avail. Suddenly a voice floated into the cabin, "Bring 'em up boys." Will and Elizabeth were tugged back up to the upper decks where they saw Jack standing with his gun raised at a dark figure in the ropes of the sails.
"You best be comin' down," Jack said.
"I'd need a reason to come down and lookin' at the likes of you isn't one," the person said.
"It will make this easier for the both of us really," Jack replied a sardonic smile on his face.
"As you wish," the figure jumped and landed gracefully on their feet. It was immediately apparent it was a woman and she too held a gun out pointed at Jack. "Are you going to give up easily or are you going to take all the fun out of it."
"Ha!" Will muttered. "He could take you with his eyes closed as could I."
The woman looked in his direction and then back at Jack. Tipping her head she asked, "Who's the smart one?"
"Will Turner," Jack said and eyed him warily. "Which reminds me. Will could you try, I know it's hard, but just try and keep from doing anything, ah, stupid, just this once?"
"What could I possibly do that I couldn't handle?" his chin was stuck up defiantly.
"You seem to forget boy that you're being held captive by two very large men," the woman replied.
"And who are you to be storming onto our ship?" Will asked.
"That was a stupid question," she replied. "It seems you should listen to Jack here more often." She flicked the hammer of her pistol for the second time and lowered it. She made a slight nod with her head but the goon she had motioned to grab Jack missed as he jumped out of the way. She laughed, "You can't avoid us forever Jack and we will talk."
She turned to Will once more, "What was your name again?"
"Will Turner," he replied.
"Short for William no doubt. Good strong name," she replied.
"What is it with pirate's and names?" Will muttered.
"Names have a great deal of importance!" she said. "For example. My name is Kate Morgan, captain of the Night Flame. Daughter of Bill Morgan, Devil of the Sea. And you are Will Turner," she blinked and took a step closer, "Well I'll be damned boys if it isn't the perfect likeness to our old friend Bootstrap Bill. Your father no doubt."
Kate raised an eyebrow, "Well this has proved to be a very interesting night indeed. Not only have we got Jack Sparrow but the son of old Bootstrap Bill. My father would turn over in his grave."
"Your father I'm afraid is in Davy Jones' Locker!" Jack exclaimed and pounced. Before anyone knew what was happening Jack had Kate around the neck and pistol shoved up against her temple.
To Will and Elizabeth's surprise she started laughing. "Going to kill me are you Jack. Oh well then I guess you'll never get the map because not a soul but mine knows where it hides."
Jack grinned and looked at the lot of people standing in front of him, "She forgets." He chuckled as he whipped her around and brought her face to his. "I'm not someone you want to cross, darlin'. So if it's talk you want lets talk this out over some-"
"Rum?" Elizabeth asked sarcastically.
"Took the words out of me mouth," Jack growled in her direction and then smiled again at Kate. "And we'll talk square, like gentlemen." He laughed in her face and released her. She shook her shirt back into place and glared defiantly at him.
"Not on this ship," Kate said. "On the Night Flame."
"But darlin'," he replied. "Once you're on the Black Pearl the only way I let anyone but my crew leave is by the plank. If you'd prefer that over talking." He raised a speculative eyebrow.
She let out an irritated sigh, "I don't know why the thought of your assistance ever crossed my mind."
"Because I'm Jack Sparrow of course," he said and led the way to his cabin.
With the majority of both their crews waiting outside Jack and Kate argued while Will, Mr. Gibbs, Elizabeth, and Ana Marie sat and listened.
"Of course I'll only agree to help you find this treasure if we're full partners. Fifty fifty," Jack replied casually twirling a dagger between his fingers as he lounged in a chair.
Kate on the other hand was pacing as she often did when she was thinking. She still hadn't solved all the puzzles her map had given her but she thought it best not to tell Jack that until he agreed to help her. She turned to glower at the last statement he had made, "I believe that first off it is my map and second that I'm the one supposed to be making the rules." She paused and then smiled sweetly, "Oh yes and third. Remember what happened last time you stole from me? Wouldn't want to be deserted on an island all by your onesies again no would ya? Now listen. I'll go sixty, forty with you but that's as high as I'll go, granted we even find that treasure."
"Been marooned by more then Barbossa, eh Jack?" Elizabeth interrupted.
"You forget luv that I don't spend too much time by myself," he grinned. "Three days tops on those bloody islands and that's if there's enough rum." Briefly Kate was aware that Jack had moved but only became fully aware when he had her arm clamped in his hand. He grinned, "Kate darlin' I took care of you, I taught you everything you know. Show some gratitude." She stared defiantly into his face, "Now fifty, fifty or we'll dump you in the ocean and take your ship, savvy?"
Her eyes narrowed over it, "Let me fight then. Perhaps young Mr. Turner would oblige?" She looked at his brows raised in question. "I win, sixty, forty. He wins, fifty, fifty."
Jack laughed but Will spoke up, "Not that I ever had a habit of fighting random pirate's but she is no match for me."
Knowing better Jack grinned, "Keep telling yourself that boy and you might win." He released Kate who immediately smiled in Will's direction. "But I warn you now, dear William, to remember that she is a pirate."
"And fighting over a treasure is not much incentive to fight fair," Kate grinned. She turned to Jack, "When?"
"In the morning," Jack replied. "At first light."
"To the death?" she wondered aloud.
Elizabeth gasped and ran forward to throw her arms around Will's chest, "I won't let you."
Kate laughed, "First blood then. Till morning." She removed her hat for the first time and bowed, revealing to Will as well as Jack a head of long wavy, chocolate tresses and a very pretty face. Smiling she replaced the hat and left the cabin to collect her crew and get back to the Night Flame.
Will looked at Jack stunned, "That woman is gorgeous."
Jack chuckled, "She's grown up since the last time I saw her. And I have to say that was a nice hat."
Elizabeth was glaring at both of them, "Honestly."
"Sorry dear it would have never worked out," he replied. "Pirate. Dishonest. Can't help myself when it comes to women or money for that matter." he mused and sent Elizabeth storming out of the cabin.
***Well that's it for this chapter. It was a little longer so I hope no one minded!
If it isn't obvious already Jack will be up to his old tricks again but I think this time they might all be surprised at where their adventures lead them. And in the next chapter be ready for a little foreshadowing, okay? And something else if there's something you don't get tell me and maybe I can clarify for you. I stuck a few jokes from the movie in here so.yeah till next time!
***Thanks for the great reviews. Till next time!! 3 Kate!
