This is a short chapter and I might update with another short one
next week. After that I probably won't have any updates until late June
because I have finals and regents coming up so I will be slammed with so
much work and studying. So enjoy this chapter mateey!
The night became silent as Will watched the pirate take Victoria toward their ship that floated in the bay. "Where are they taking her Jack?" He asked but there was no answer. "Jack?"
"Get back here!" Will demanded. "I want you to tell me everything."
"I know you missed me but don't you think you should be rescuing your daughter about now?"
Will held Jack up to the wall. "Tell me why they have taken Victoria."
A noise came from the doorway as Daniel came through moving some timber that had fallen from the ceiling. His hair was askew and his cloths a mess with dirt smothered on them like he had been trampled. As he walked in and saw Will cornering Jack his face lit up.
"You've got one father!" He said smiling. Will let go of Jack and tried to explain.
"Daniel..." He started.
"Come now, we must arrest him."
"This boy yours?" Jack asked.
"Yes, but that's not the point."
"Spittin' image of you an' ol' Bootstrap."
"What is he talking about father?"
"Daniel, this is Jack. He is a friend of your mother and I."
Jack stood there grinning and balancing between his heels and the tip of his toes. "Pleased to meet you lad." Jack said extending his hand. Daniel just looked at his shabby cloths and grimy hands and cringed. Jack withdrew and started wiggling his fingers like he usually did. "Bit of a stick in the mud, ain't 'e?" He mumbled to Will fully aware that Daniel could hear.
"Excuse me pirate but you are under arrest. Now if you will come quietly I would greatly appreciate it."
"You're not going to arrest Jack." Will said. "He is my friend and he is going to help us get Victoria back."
"They've taken Victoria? And what do you mean us? We do not associate with pirates. We don't need his help."
"Victoria has been kidnapped and Jack is going to help. He's helped me before and I trust him." Will said. Jack had the widest smirk on his face and he pointed to himself and mouthed 'me' in an arrogant manner.
"You're siding with a pirate?" Daniel said shocked. Will didn't answer but gave his son a stern look. No one said anything. Footsteps could be heard in the distance.
"Will! Thank goodness you are alright!" She stopped for a second and gasped. "Where is Victoria?" She asked as tears started to roll out of her eyes. Will rushed over to her.
"Those pirates have taken her." William said and Elizabeth's face went white as chalk. "Jack and I are going after her. She'll be home soon. Safe and sound."
He guided a hysterical Elizabeth to Daniel who gave nasty looks to Jack every now and then. "Jack if you have anything to do with this I will make sure your feet will hang from the gallows.
Jack put up his hands innocently and shook his head. "Sorry love, wasn't me. But I promise to bring her back."
"No rum." She said through gritted teeth.
"No rum, love."
"Mother I can't believe you're letting father do this?"
As Jack and Will started exiting the hall Jack went towards Daniel and said, "You're a really bad egg."
Once on the Black Pearl Will bombarded Jack with questions. "Who where those pirates...Why do they want Victoria...Where's your crew?"
Jack had been swinging ropes around and lifting the anchors, ready to set sail. "My crew is in Tortuga." He sighed. "Gibbs apparently got hold of some bad rum and is dreadfully sick. I rushed out here to get your daughter and to warn you that pirates where coming."
"Why were you planning on taking my daughter?"
"As I was saying before they crashed your party. By the way the food was exquisite! Anyway, that necklace your daughter has has a very powerful potion in it. I don't know the details but someone wants it. Supposedly..." He started to trail of mumbling. "Help a person transform..."
"What, who wants it?"
Jack leaned against the wheel of the ship. He quirked an eyebrow and sighed. "Barbossa...'e needs the potion."
