Sorry this chapter took so long and is most likely not going to be that good. So I'm going to take the chance to introduce the characters.
***********************************************************************
Elizabeth and I may be sisters only two years apart but we were so different. We looked the exact opposite and acted the exact opposite. I had thick black shoulder length hair, she on the other hand didn't have that think of hair and it was blond. She had an hour glass figure, I wasn't fat but I didn't have the hour glass figure all men wanted. She was the well loved younger daughter of the Governor of Port Royal, I was the undeserving outcast. She loved all the popularity and riches that came with being the daughter of the Governor's daughter, I hated. I didn't just hated I detested it. The only similarity was our name, we were both Swanns.
I might make her seem like a real bad person, but she isn't she's just different then me. I suppose the only reason I hate her so much is envy. As much as I deny, she is my sister and I do love her but I would never admit that to a living soul other then my self.
I walk around making my way somewhere; I still have no idea where to go. I ended up at the dock. I love the dock the smell of the sea breeze and the wonderful view of ships entering. Just then a peculiar man caught my eye he was dressed like a pirate. He must have been a pirate for just as a man stepped away from him, the he lifted a coin bag.
"Ello sir!" I said as I walked up to him. "Welcome to Port Royal!"
"What are you a welcoming committee?" the man asked. I just watched him with a raised eyebrow as he just went on with his way. I that saw he was headed to the Royal Dock so I decided to follow him.
When I caught up with him I asked him, "You are a pirate are you not?"
He stoped to look at me then her answered, "Yes! Yes, I am now could you just go run along."
"Are you not afraid of imprisonment. You know that Port Royal hangs all pirates that set foot in Port Royal." I whispered.
" No one has ever caught or will catch... Captain Jack Sparrow." He said in a hushed voice.
As I walked away from Mr. Sparrow I realized what a stupid thing it would be to run away from home. Where would I got the only answer would have been becoming a wench I couldn't work and I sure as hell wouldn't steal or prostitute my self. Any way enough of that I went back home and made sure no one had seen the letter.
"So I see you made it." Elizabeth said when she saw me run to take my place next to her.
"Huh?" I asked.
"Oh are you ignoring me now?"
"No not at all." I smiled and went back to the watching the ceremony.
As soon as Norrington received his promotion, he asked to speak to Elizabeth. She didn't look very comfortable in that dress.
While Norrington was speaking my father came up to me. "Natasha! I'm glad you made it Kara told me you weren't feeling well." Kara is my chamber maid, and she was much nicer then any snobby rich citizen of Port Royal.
"I'm quite fine now father, may I be excused?"
Walking away from my father I decided to go and check on my dear younger sister.
"You look lovely, Elizabeth . I apologize if I seem forward but I… must speak my mind. This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved - a marriage to a fine woman. You have become a fine woman, Elizabeth,"I tried hard not to listen in but then I heard Elizabeth choke out that she couldn't breath. Just as I ran up to see what was the matter with her. Just as I made my way there I heard a splash then Norrington screaming out her name. It as all too sudden, I ran to where he was to see him getting ready to dive in. But a solder stopped him with some sensible words along the lines of "The rocks, Commodore, it's a miracle she missed them!"
Just as Elizabeth reached a deeper part of the ocean the weather took a ghastly change. Rough winds hit port royal! Then as soon as some one had taken Elizabeth out of the water the weather was back to its warm old self. When I reach down stairs I saw Elizabeth's rescuer, it was good old Captain Jack Sparrow.
"Yes, I'm fine," she said to Norrington.
"Shoot him," my father said tightly, pointing at the Captian Jack.
"Bloody......" I gasped.
Then Elizabeth said, "Father! Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuer?"
The Commodore gave a gastly sigh, "I believe thanks are in order," he said. He held out his hand, suspicion obvious in his face. As discreetly as I could, I tried to tell Jack not to shake his hand.
Jack paused a bit before shaking the Commodore's hand. Norrington roughly pulled up the man's sleeve, revealing a brand of a "P". I winced, it looked painful. "Had a brush with the East India Trading company, did we, pirate?" the Commodore spat.
"Hang him," my father said stiffly.
"No!" I said quietly, without an idea as to why. Oh bugger, why did everyone always glare at me like that?
"Keep your guns on him, men. Gillette, fetch some irons." Norrington said , pushing up the pirate's sleeve more he added "Well, well… Jack Sparrow , isn't it?"
"Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please, sir," Jack said. I laughed a little, Captain Jack grinned at me and I couldn't help but smile back, he did remember me."I don't see your ship… Captain," Norrington said snootily.
"I'm in the market," Captain Jack said, a fake grin on his face.
"He said he'd come to commandeer one!" One Soldier said.
"Told you he was telling the truth. There are his sir," the other soldier added, handing the Commodore Captain Jack's effects. The Commodore raised an eyebrow, "No additional shots nor powder. A compass that doesn't point north. And I half expected it to be made of wood." he said of the sword. "You are, without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of," he said.
"Ah, but you have heard of me," Jack grinned.
"Commodore, I really must protest, pirate or not this man saved my life." Elizabeth said, but I knew it was no use.
"One good deed is not enough to redeem a man of a lifetime of wickedness." the Commodore patiently explained to both Elizabeth and I.
"But it is enough to condemn him," Jack added darkly, as his hands were bound in irons.
"Finally," Jack muttered, throwing the chain around Elizabeth's neck.
I grinned I new he wouldn't hurt he. But she saw me "What seems so funny about this!"
"Nothing," I said still grinning.
I earned a glare from my father before he said, "Don't shoot!!"
"Elizabeth , isn't it?" he asked.
"Its Miss Swann," she said tightly.
"Miss Swann, if you'd be so kind. Come, come, dear, we don't have all day. Now if you'd be very kind." he said, grinning a bit as she put on his belt.
"Easy on the goods, love," he said.
"You are despicable," my dear sister spat.
"Sticks and stones, love. I saved your life, you saved mine, we're square. Gentlemen, ladies" he said, nodding at me then looking at Elizabeth.
"You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!" he said, pushing Elizabeth into Norrington. He cuts a cord sending a huge box crashing onto the dock and him swinging through the air. Then he lands on a platform and slides down a long cable out of reach from the guards. It was spectacular, the best exit I've ever seen, oh I love pirates.
My father took Elizabeth by the hand and made to lead us back to the mansion. I, had no intention of following. And seeing as how my father wasn't paying attention to me anyway, I slipped away. I went to look for Sparrow but before I did thI decided to head and see what Will was up too and tell him about Sparrow.
Just as I reached there I saw Mr. Sparrow slip into the shop. I grinned and waited out side for will to arrive. When I saw him I jogged up to him.
"Hullo Will!!" I greeted him.
"Miss Swann You shouldn't be out here the king's men are looking for a dangerous pirate. But I am glad you are still in Port Royal," He added the last part with a smile on his face.
"Don't shame me by using my real last name," I smiled.
"You are one of a kind Nat, just one of a kind." He laughed.
We walked in all the sudden Will started looking around. He looked at his master, Mr. Brown and roled his eyes, Then his eyes wondered over to a hammer that Jack might have been using.
"I didn't use this....." He said more to him self than me. I didn't say anything I didn't know what to say. " And I am more than certin I didn't you this." He said about to lift Jack's hat, but before he got the chance Jack leaped up and wrenched out his sword.
"Will!!" I screamed.
"You're the one they're hunting. The pirate." Will said.
"You seem somewhat familiar. Have I threatened you before?" Jack uttered grinning.
"I make a point of avoiding familiarity with pirates," Will said darkly glaring daggers at Jack.
"Oh. Well, then it would be a shame to put a black mark on your record. So, if you'll excuse me…" Jack was saying, but Will unsheathed his sword.
"Don't you dare Will!!"
"Do you think this wise, boy, crossing blades with a pirate?" the Captain asked.
"You threatened Miss Swann," Will growled with utter hatred.
"You know what you're doing, I'll give you that. Excellent form but how's your footwork?" Swords cut threw the air with loud swooshed and clanged and the fight carried on. "If I step here; voh ery good. Now I step again."
"Ta!" Sparrow uttered then ran for the door. Will flung his sword landing it inches from Jack's face. I yelped and stood up I couldn't take this I was going to fight. As I was about to pick out a sword I realized that it was no use who would I fight against?
"That is a wonderful trick except once again you are between me and my way out. And now you have no weapon." Jack said, advancing on Will again. Will Look around frantically and picked out an unfinished sword.
"Who makes all these?!" he exclaimed, as Will grabbed a new sword.
"I do!" Will shouted proudly. I smiled it was true sometimes I too practiced , watching him fight was quite entertaining. "And I practice with them, three hours a day!" he said.
"You need to find yourself a girl, mate! Or, perhaps the reason you practice three hours a day is that you already found one, and are otherwise incapable of wooing said strumpet. You're not a eunuch, are you?" Jack asked, glancing downwards at Will's......
"Oh my!" I laughed when I saw Will redden a bit.
"I practice three hours a day, so when I meet a pirate, I can kill it!!" Will exclamed. I watched in amazement as they fought upon a teeter-plank. A loose board snapped up and hit Will in the face. As I gasped will and Jack glanced at me. They fought among the rafters and I looked up, nervous that either one would fall on me. They came back to the ground and continued fighting until they were right in front of me, and the Captain knocked Will's sword from his hand. Will looked shocked, and turned to get another sword, but Jack pulled out a pistol and cut a bag of sawdust, and sprayed it in Will's face.
"You cheeted!!" Both Will and I yelled.
Jack shrugged, "Pirate," he rationalized."Now move!"
"If you fire that pistole I will have your head Jack!" I yelled.
"Oh I'm so......" Jack wasn't able to finish for he was smacked on the head with an empty bottle of rum.
