A/N: OH MY GOSH! I LOVE all of you wonderful reviewers! YOU ARE THE BEST!
Gee whiz: In Latin, "pol' means many, and "tics" are bloodsucking creatures. So does that mean that "politics" are many bloodsucking creatures?
DISCLAIMER: I probably should have put this in before.oh well. I don't own POTC, will turner, jack sparrow, or, unfortunately Orlando Bloom (though I can still dream.) I only own Claire and the "boy." Not to mention the bad guy.
CHAPTER 3: THE TIME HAS COME
Will ran over to the door, and quickly drew out his sword, which had been sheathed on his belt.
"What do you want, you PIRATE?! Stay away from my family, or I'll kill you! I swear it! Now leave us alone!" Will said right away, not recognizing Jack (It HAD been 13 years), and not taking any chances.
"Put it away lad, do you want to get beaten again? Because if you do, by all means, leave it out. Don't you even remember me?" Jack replied to the threat.
"Jack? Jack Sparrow?"
"Captain. Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please."
"Come in! What on Earth are you doing here?" Will said, sheathing his sword.
Jack, Anamaria, and Alex quickly walked inside. It had begun raining outside, and they were getting soaked. Not a pleasant way to meet somebody that you haven't seen for 13 years. Once they were inside, the looked around. A very nice house, not what they had been expecting. They were just about to peer into the library when Elizabeth cleared her throat.
"Elizabeth, love! How wonderful to see you! My, don't you look beautiful! Reminds me of that time--" Jack said with pure enthusiasm. Anamaria and Will both hit him and spoke at the same time.
"She's MY wife! Get your own!"
"HELLO JACK! YOU'RE WIFE IS STANDING RIGHT HERE!"
"You're married? I had no idea." Elizabeth spoke very quietly, but everyone managed to hear her perfectly. "So, is this you're son?"
Jack spoke very quickly. "Why, this is my-"
"Nephew," Alex put in very fast. He didn't know why he did it, maybe just to keep what was happening with Claire quiet. "I'm only staying for a little while. My mother has just died, so I'm staying with my Uncle, Jack. Oh, I'm sorry, Captain Jack." He winked at his father, giving him the I'm- playing-play-along look. Jack knew this wasn't true, and what his son had just said was a lie, but the pleading look in his blue eyes was unbearable. So, being a pirate, Jack naturally went along with the whole scheme.
"Why yes of course. I'm so sorry about your mother,--? I don't think I caught your name." Will said, knowing that something was up Jack's sleeve, but not pressing the matter. Of course, the last time Will didn't press the matter he ended up hanging off part of a ship for dear life, while listening to Jack give a lecture about "what a man can do, and what a man can't do". That was not something you saw everyday.
"My name is Alexander. You can call me Alex." Alex said, feeling like he was being watched. Like someone was lurking just out of sight, and was peering at him. And indeed there was. Elizabeth noticed it too.
"Claire, can you please come down here? There are some people that I think your father wants to introduce you to." Elizabeth said calmly.
"I do? Oh, I mean I do! Of course! Yes, please come down Claire!" Will said in a rush after being elbowed in the stomach by his wife. So down came Claire, so gracefully that Jack knew she was definitely Elizabeth's child. Of course, she might have Elizabeth's great looks, but her eyes were Will's. Jack was positive about that.
"Hello, Mr.-Captain Sparrow. Nice to meet you." Claire said politely, while throwing a glare of confusion and anger at Alex. He returned it with that same malicious smile of his, while peering at her with his blue eyes.
"Well, aren't you a lovely little girl? What was your name?" Jack said, not noticing what was going on with Claire and his son.
"My name is Clarissa Elizabeth Turner, but please call me Claire. Mother, Father, I promised I would meet Joseph Norrington today, so should I just- ?"
"Oh, yes, very well, but be back by dinner, alright, darling?" Elizabeth said. Unlike her father, she was not very strict. And Joseph Norrington was a very nice person, age fifteen, and very interested in Claire. Though Claire claimed that they were only friends. He was the son of General Norrington (Yes, he was promoted AGAIN), who had once been in love with her. "Why don't you take Alex with you? I'm sure that you would like to get to know him better."
"I already have." Claire muttered this so quietly that only Alex heard her. "So Alex," Claire said louder, so that everyone could hear, and with a false cheeriness in her voice, "How about it?"
"Sure, I'd love that Clarissa." Alex replied with a smirk. He saw Claire bite her lip and give her parents a quick good-bye wave, then head out the door. So Alex followed.
When Alex and Claire were safely within the depths of the village {it had stopped raining}, they started up a conversation (it gets pretty confusing from here on out, so be warned).
"Alright, explain yourself mister. I want some answers. First, you sneak into my room, and hand me a pirate medallion, then just walk out. And then, Alex, you walk into my house like you're the king of the world. Why? What do you want from me?"
"Nothing really, just doing orders."
"What orders? What are you talking about? Are you working for someone?"
"Maybe, maybe not," Alex replied.
"Please, just tell me what you're here for. Just tell me the truth, and no lies! "
"Very well. I am here on a mission to restore the curse, get your parents killed, take you to the treasure, help the captain, and wreak havoc and mayhem in your town."
"I said no lies!"
"I wasn't."
Claire couldn't believe it. She simply couldn't.
"This isn't happening," she said, mostly to herself, but Alex heard her.
"Oh yes it is, dear," he said, leaning in toward her, "whether you like it or not." Soon his face was only inches away from hers. She knew he was about to kiss her, but she didn't stop him.
"Claire, what is going on here?" Came a strong voice from behind her.
A/N: Ok, tell me what you think, and just so you know, the guy behind Claire isn't her father or Jack! Oh I've done it now!!!! REVIEW!
