Tatiana sat waiting for Jack to come back from outer space. When he
didn't and just stood there
staring off into the horizon, she got tired of waiting.
"Uh...I'm just going to go and explore the rest of the ship," Tatiana said, slipping herself off the barrel and walking down the starboard side.
"Alright," Jack said, still half in a trance. He watched her walking along the sides of the ship and sighed.
Maybe it was wrong of him, he didn't know, but he just felt that he got cheated out of something. After all,
he was Jack Sparrow, infamous pirate, not father material at all. But still, he was trying. He closed his eyes for a moment, unaware of the fact that Will was staring at him.
"You'll get there," Will said, smiling at Jack, "It's hard at first, but you'll get there."
"Thanks..." 'I think' he finished in his mind.
After a moment of akward silence and no Tatiana in sight, Jack decided to start up conversation.
"It's lucky that the commodore, well, I don't mean lucky but.......Well, it will prove to be helpful. The
commodore's death, I mean. He did have a particular grudge against me, and I expect that almost all of the
law enforcement has forgotten about me."
"That's about right," Will said with a slight chuckle.
Jack looked back out over the horizon. Port Royal wasn't far now......
Now, Jack Sparrow isn't a serious man. If there is a completely serious issue, he'll make a joke about it.
So, as you can imagine, the ride to Port Royal was very solemn in nature, which didn't suit him at all. He was
eagerly awaiting his arrival to Port Royal in hopes that he could loosen up a bit, but he was sadly mistaken
on that matter........
Jack and Tatiana stood in the very expensive looking foyer of Swan mansion, making pleasant
conversation while Will went off to find Elizabeth.
"So, how many times have you tried to stow away?" Jack asked Tatiana, who was examining the ornately
decorated firepoker that was previously lying next to the fireplace.
"Ah, I've lost count. Never really got anywhere, though. They always found me because I let them, but only
when it seemed to be too far away to go back. But when they saw me they either yelled 'Ahhh! A woman!
Witchcraft!' or 'Jack's become a woman!' Now I understand that one." She smiled at Jack who returned the
smile. " and then they would take me safely back for fear that if they threw me overboard I would hex them.
Stupid, aren't they?" she said as she twirled the firepoker around.
Just then, Will and Elizabeth walked in. Elizabeth shot Jack a suspicious eye. "Well, Will, you still haven't
told me what your big adventure was about."
"You'll see," Will said. Then he grabbed Tatiana by the scruff of the neck and led her forward. Then,
pushing her in front of him said, " we picked up a stray."
Elizabeth gave Tatiana and odd look. Tatiana dropped the firepoker and held her palms out in front of her,
smiling and apologetic smile. "Sorry, couldn't resist."
Elizabeth looked Tatiana from her tangle of black hair and black hat to her oversize men's clothing to her
men's boots to her expression which Elizabeth thought to be quite pert. Everything she saw was something
she disapproved of, so she said " Is this your daughter, Jack?"
"Yeah. Family resemblance kind of gives it away, doesn't it?" Jack said, and then looked at Tatiana. Clearly,
Elizabeth was everything she disapproved of, but if she was to be staying there, she might as well try to be nice.
"Well, darling, " Will began, "Jack and Tatiana need a place to stay for a few weeks. Do you think we can make room?"
"Yes, yes, whatever. I don't care."Elizabeth said, waving the question aside, "But first, tell me this story the proper way. I feel as though I'm missing some key parts."
When the story was told, Elizabeth smacked Jack across the face.
"You're dispicable," she hissed.
"Not the first time I've heard that one," he said as he rubbed his cheek and eye. He made a face at Tatiana
who was silently laughing at him.
"Well, although I completely disapprove of you, Jack, I can't see this girl living on the streets." 'My god, I'm
lying!' Elizabeth thought to herself. She could see this girl living on the streets quite clearly. "I've decided
we'll let you too stay for awhile. Besides, your daughter.....?"
"Tatiana," Tatiana filled in for her.
"Tatiana, seems like a sweet girl."
Tatiana grinned at Elizabeth, and Elizabeth didn't like that grin at all. Elizabeth, of course, was lying. She
didn't think Tatiana was sweet, but thought she could make her that way. Although Elizabeth's intentions
might have been humble, her initial plan was harsh. She wanted to change Tatiana. Clothing, voice, hair,
posture, additude, everything, to be exactly opposite of how she was now. Change her into an Elizabeth
mini-me, if you will. She didn't think that it was right at all for Jack to curse a young girl with his traits, so she would change that. Or at least try.
"Come now, Tatiana," Elizabeth said, beckoning the girl forth. "we'll get you freshened up. Will, you take Jack."
"Yeah, okay, this way," Will said, about to make his way down the hall.
"Oh, Will, hold on a moment," Elizabeth said and when Will turned around, she motioned for him to come closer.
She leaned in and whispered in his ear, " Lock up the silverware."
