AN: Lore's name is pronounced like.uhm.well the end of the word "Folklore" so the last part of that word, and you have Lore's name. And Kami is pronounced "Ca" as in cat, and "Me" and in you. Get it? Hope you do.just wanted to clear that up for you guys.
Sun light filtered through the dirty windows and warmed Will's face. He wiggled his face away from the thin light and sighed heavily. "Five more minutes," he pleaded to himself. Suddenly his head felt heavy and began to pang. He winced at the pain, then heard heavy footsteps making their way to the window. "Who's in my room?" he pondered not willing to open his eyes.
Abruptly, Will heard the curtains part harshly, letting the thin light grow quickly and severely. Will shut his eyes tightly and groaned.
"Morning, sunshine! Time to get ready for our leave tonight!"
"That voice." The cogs in Will's head turned fiercely trying to recognize the voice, but his hangover from the previous night wouldn't allow it. "Jack!" he said, thinking out loud. Will sat up quickly, despite his throbbing head. Once his eyes adjusted, he focused in on the raven locks, charcoal-lined eyes and tanned face with the silly drunken grin.
Will cocked his head to one side and began to wonder what the famous pirate was doing in his room. At once Will noticed he indeed was not in his own room or pajamas for that matter and was still in his clothes from the previous day. Before he could inquire these facts upon Jack, the older man spoke. "We're in the rooms above the pub. We stayed the night, after I found ye passed out dead. I didn't think ye even touched a drop of alcohol, but ye sure proved me wrong!"
Reality came swimming back into Will's memory and he sighed. "Sorry about you having to waste money on a room, just for my sake, Jack," Will apologized. Jack gave his trademark grin and waved it off, "Wash up, we're going to the market for our voyage."
"What voyage?"
"Oh.Righ'.I didn't even ask ye yet.I'm growing fat and bored jus sittin' around and I need an adventure. An I figure, why not have ye come along with me? So whattaya say?" Jack placed his hands together, palm-to-palm and gave him a pleading look, like a child wanting a cookie before supper. Will smiled, knowing this was what Elizabeth was talking about. "Of course," he chuckled.
Later that day the two men were transporting supplies they had bought to the Black Pearl. "Ay, Will, whattaya say us two get a drink and take a beak?" Will laughed at his companion. "Always have rum on the mind, eh, Jack?" The pirate gave a broad grin, "It runs through my blood, honestly!"
The two returned to the pub they ha accidentally found each other at the night before and seated themselves down at the bar. "Ay, there!" Kami, the bar-tenderess from the night before walked over to the two pirates and asked what they wanted to drink, but not before poking fun at Will and asking whether or not he had gotten over his headache yet.
"You know her?" Will asked the captain of the Black Pearl. "She served me last night, and tried to kick ye out of the bar, but I helped her out and found yer drunken ass sitting here."
Will laughed and swallowed down the rum. Jack noticed the young man's change from the time he had last left him. But then of course, Jack was falling down the side of a cliff and damn near killed himself on the rocks below. Not intentionally of course.
After more than a couple of glasses of rum, the two were giddy like two little schoolgirls. Jack pointed out a young woman that sat at a table in the corner. She wore a man's hat, yet still wore a dress. The men that sat with her at the table all were sweating with anxiety.
All were playing an intense game of cards and by the looks of it the woman was winning. "Ay, Jack." Will slurred, "Go show that woman who you are and challenge her to a game of cards. What do you have to lose? I mean, she's just a woman." Kami leaned across the bar, "I wouldn't underestimate her, gents. She's been champion at this ere pub since she came into town."
Jack scoffed and waved away her comment. "Pfft, she hasn't played Captain Jack Sparrow!" he said drunkenly. Soon Jack was walking with his familiar drunken sway and made his way over to the card-playing woman. "'Scuse me, love, but I would like to join in on this little game of cards, you've decided to bless these.charmin' men with," he smugly grinned.
The woman gazed up at the captain and smiled sweetly. "Of course." Jack soon found that the young woman was indeed as good at card games as Kami had praised. The money soon built into a giant mountain and a crowd had formed around the table. "Let's go Lore! Ye can't loose all that money now!" "C'mon gents! Dun let that wench win all yer money!"
Jack removed his hat and used it as a fan. Suddenly his face lit up. "Ay, love, why don't you say I buy you a drink, and I get my money back? Hmm? Then we're both happy!" The woman pushed her hat back and looked at Jack square in the face, making him think she would accept. "My name, sir, is Lore Ceruliane. No need to call me pet names. And what would make you think that a glass of rum would make me give you my own hard earned winnings?"
Jack scratched his head then spoke again with a sly smirk. "How about I give you a date with me. You can have me fer a whole day or night! Which ever you desire," and here he winked "Whattaya say to that, love? Err.Lore." Lore's stormy gray eyes glared at him. "What!? Why would I?" Jack leaned back and made a net for his head with his fingers. "Because I'm Captain Jack Sparrow!"
The crowd gasped at the mentioning of the name, and whispers soon swirled around the gambling table. Lore slammed her cards down on the table and stood up. "Why would I go on a date with a womanizing swine such as yourself? Captain Sparrow.Pfft! I'd sooner take a ride on the most accursed ship and sail to the ends of the earth!"
A man that was gambling at the table leaned over and inspected Lore's cards. "You were cheatin!" he spat.
"I beg your pardon!?"
"You filthy wench! You rigged the game!"
The rest of the men grabbed at her cards and examined her cards. She did the same and whirled to the man sitting next to her. The noise had risen to a raging sound by then and the words she shouted at the man went unheard as she balled her fist and gladly introduced it to his face. The man recovered and whipped out a knife hidden from his sleeve. He said something to her and took vicious swipes at her. She successfully dodged the blade but lost her balance and fell into the blade. She yelped and took out the knife. She lunged at the man and placed it into his chest.
At the exact moment, all hell broke loose, and Lore was beginning to panic among the brawling men. Suddenly she grabbed a bag thrown to her and pushed her "winnings" inside and made her way to the door. There she took off into the town square with Kami running along side her.
Will and Jack spotted each other watched the women run away. "Oh." Jack growled frustrated, "She's got my money!" The two pirates then looked at one another and took off after the women. The town's people had no problem telling the two pirates which way the two running women had gone. Eventually they were guided to the pier and the trail went cold. "Split up and find me money!" Jack ordered.
Will searched the abandoned shacks and listened carefully for any sounds. Hurried whispers captured his keen hearing and he rushed to the origin of the voices. Upon hearing Will, Lore and Kami split apart and ran in two different directions. Hesitating, Will ran after the one with the bag of money, what was her name? Something beginning with an L.Lore? Yes that was it, Lore.
The young pirate soon gained on the woman until she dodged from his grasp. She dropped the bag and threw a punch at Will. Will caught her fist and whirled her so that her back pressed into his chest. "Now, now, violence isn't the way out," he smirked. He felt Lore glare at him, and he paused for a second. "Please, Miss, Jack really needs that money back," he pleaded dropping his voice into a serious tone. "You'll have to catch me first," she replied, but before Will could grip what she had said, she threw her head back and damn near broke his nose.
She broke his grip and threw a combination of punches and kicks that Will didn't know was coming. Falling to the ground he caught himself and tackled Lore. With a grunt they both fell to the floor, in a rather odd position. Realizing how close the two were Will smirked. "Caught you." Grasping her thin wrists into one hand he led her to the Black Pearl with the bag of money under one arm.
Jack was already on the ship and smiled drunkenly when he was the large bag of money. "I've got your partner in crime down in the chambers in her own comfy cell, love. She put up quite a fight, but I want you to know that no one escapes the great Captain Jack Sparrow." Lore tried to wriggle away, but Jack grabbed her by the shoulders and brought her on board. "So I suppose this means no date then?" he pouted and then seductively smiled. "Well the rest of the crew won't be back for a while, so I still hold that offer open, love," Jack smiled and winked.
Will rolled his eyes and gently ushered Lore to the cells below deck. "Don't pay attention to him, he's drunk," Will uttered close to her ear. His breath was warm on Lore's cheek and sent chills down her spine. "Let's fix that wound before you go below deck," he said gently. Leading her to a certain room, he sat her down and brought out the bandages and ointments.
Stunned by his kindness, Lore cooperated with the youth. "He's not to bad looking," she mused. The closeness of him made her queasy. "Alright, almost done," Will said snatching her from her thinking. She smiled faintly, "So who are you, and how'd you get stuck with such a great captain?" Lore inquired, her voice brimming with sarcasm.
Will laughed softly and looked into her eyes, "It's a long story." Lore smiled genuinely, "Well, it looks like I've got lots of time, seeing as I'm Captain Sparrow's prisoner."
