Chapter One: Beginnings from Endings
The Raven's Song
LunarianPrincess
This is the first installment of the Songs of the Sea arc. They are stand alone, but they all fit in concert. This is an AnamariaOC. I would be grateful for all the feedback you have. I am working on the Jack/OC fic but he is so hard to capture that it is taking a while, I'm doing my best, I should post it in a week or two. The first couple of chapters will be Will and Jack then switch to Anamaria and her new interest. Thank you for being patient!
Jack and Will are reunited, but under less than pleasurable circumstances, basically a side romance and introductions to the characters.

"Well, Mr. Turner I thought you loved me, but apparently not. I no longer think I can bear your presence please leave," she bit out, cruelly proper and stiff. She glared at Will he reached out to her but she turned smartly and flounced out the room.

"Elizabeth," he whispered forlornly. He grabbed his hat and walked to the front door, he let himself out at the gate he turned back to the house. He couldn't believe his love had been so uncompromising, but he knew that she deserved that lush setting, just as he required the openness of the sea. He turned resolutely, determined that she should have what she deserved.
He returned to the shop, he was heartbroken, the woman he had loved since he could remember had decided he wasn't worth the sacrifice, but beyond that he had realized that he couldn't sacrifice for her. He stayed inside for three days, depressed he made many weapons and finished every order that had come in. He was exhausted, physically and mentally. After more introspection he realized that he had never truly loved Elizabeth, he was devastated. He knew that he had made the right decision, but it hurt that not even he could understand his true feelings, he had been blinded buy admiration and lust.
He left his shop for the first time in days. He wandered around, eventually ended up at the dock, staring out at the sea. He knew what he had to do. He smiled, he finally had reached a decision. He returned to the shop and raced to his room. He grabbed his clothes and shoved them in a trunk. Then he packed up his store, taking an astonishing amount of weapons with him. He took some of his money and returned to the dock. He booked passage on a ship bound for Tortuga, and returned to the shop. He rented a cart and lugged his luggage to the dock. Then he boarded the ship, "New Beginnings" he laughed at the irony of the situation. They made way and he looked out over the open sea, savoring the contentment and wonder of that moment. In that dawn it was almost as if the horizon was singing, he laughed at the thought and simply stared out at the sea.

Jack had wandered far away from Port Royale, determined that he stay away from the British Navy. He had returned to Muerta, they had taken half of the treasure, deciding that if ever there was a time that they were unable to resort to piracy, that there would be money there. Ana had been pestering him again, only four months and already she was back to her boat, a favorite subject of hers. He decided that the crew should return to Tortuga and see about getting a second ship, for Ana, it would sail under the Pearl, as a second. After a tedious month they neared the island. Jack could hardly believe that it had been five months since he had been here last.
He smiled into the wind, grateful to return to somewhere that was familiar and welcome. The time he had spent away had been fun but he longed for the familiar conflicts and faces that Tortuga offered. He brought the Pearl gracefully into the small harbor and had the crew assemble on deck. The motley crew stood proudly waiting for instructions from their illustrious captain. Jack paced in front of them, exuding confidence and excitement.
"Alright men," he paused while Ana-Maria glared at him. Sketching a half bow with his trademark swagger he continued "and Ana-Maria, we will be here for as long as it takes, for this we will divide into three shifts to guard the Pearl and have fun!" the crew cheered anxious to renew old acquaintances and get drunk with familiar company. Jack quickly designated the shifts and told them their responsibilities. Gibbs, Ana and he went ashore with the first shift. After a quick meal and a few questions as to to the best ship builders, they went to the ship crafters and looked at the prices of a few different sized ships. After looking at the different sizes of the boats they went to the tavern, 'The Faithful Bride'. Jack asked for a tankard of Rum and it was quickly delivered, the three of them heatedly debated how much Jack would pay, oblivious of the frankly admiring gazes of many patrons. Ana-Maria and Jack discussed what size would be best for their new ship and how many men would be required to crew the new ship. They were still discussing the possibilities when they heard an odd request
"Do you know where I could find Jack Sparrow?"
More coming soon, I promise! I am so sorry that I haven't updated for an extended period, I was on vacation and am currently beginning a new venture. Co-owning a production business with my best friend, check out our website, its on my profile page. Thanks ^_-
