Chapter Three: Well-known and Wanted

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 appreciative of all the feedback you give. 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.

Last Chap

"Do you know where I could find Jack Sparrow?"

Now

Will walked off the ship in the Tortuga bay with anxious anticipation, and cheerful misgivings. He walked to a more respectable part of Tortuga, he then found a decent lodging and requested a room. After he was settled he decided to look around Tortuga. After searching for a while, in taverns close to the inn, he decided to retire for the night. He returned to his lodgings, never realizing that he was the source of interest in a shadowy man.

The man diligently observed Will enter the small inn, eyes sharp with acute interest. The minute he saw Will enter the small establishment his face broke into a malicious smile. After being sure that Will had retired for the night he spun abruptly from his nook. He quickly melded into the impenetrable shadows. A serene air hung about the abandoned street, until a mysterious cloud covered the luminous moon. Fog, thick and mystifying, rolled languidly through the quiet part of the town.

Will removed his clothes and jumped eagerly into the welcoming bed. He succumbed to the warmth of sleep. He slept peacefully until sunrise the next day. He opened his eyes languorously and stretched his arms. He stood and jumped from the bed. He hurriedly dressed, strapping on is double scabbard knowing this was Tortuga. Will was eager to get to the docks and see if there was any sign of the Pearl.

He finished his meager breakfast quickly and left the comfortable inn. He strode down the paths towards the dock. The sun illuminated the small town, highlighting the trees and making the sea glitter like a jewel. There were whitecaps on the aqua waves, and there were a few ships bobbing near the horizon. He made his way to the dock and surveyed the area, he saw no sign of the Pearl but he made his way to the harbormaster.

"Do you happen to know if the Black Pearl has been here lately, or is here at the moment," Will inquired. The man looked at him a moment to see if this was a joke, then he checked his logbook.

"Sorry, boy, they haven't been here in over three months." The man said before turning to haggle with the captain of a ship. Will walked away slowly. He couldn't understand it, 'over three months?" he thought. "Where could Jack have been?' He made his way into the shopping district of Tortuga. He knew he needed a few supplies for staying in Tortuga. He made his way to the tanner's. He bought two pairs of boots, a nice pair and a work pair, both of black leather. From there he headed towards a general store, he bought a flask, so he could keep his own drink. He also bought a few crackers and some jerky. He went to the blacksmith's, just to look at their shop. He wasn't very impressed, the work was fine but the place was shoddy.

By the time he had finished most of his errands it was lunchtime. He headed back to the inn to drop off his purchases and eat lunch. He ate the hunk of meat and block of cheese quickly washing it down with some wine. He stood brushed off the front of his shirt and headed towards the door. A serving woman walked towards him, trying to get his attention. He turned to face her and waited for her to speak.

"A man was here asking about you, he wanted to know if you were Will Turner, are you?" she asked hesitantly. She stood fidgeting, as if daunted by his size and appearance. He looked at her, noticing the shiver in her arms and the fear in her eyes.

"Yes I am, who wanted to know?" he asked kindly, smiling softly at her. She smiled warily and raised her eyes.

That's it for now please review- I might put you as a cameo if you tell me a little about yourself- I need bar patrons as well as a crew for the Raven. -
