Chapter 3

~ That is with out a doubt the Worst Pirate I've ever Seen~

Jack Sparrow was a man skilled in one profession and one profession only: piracy. Jack's black hair flew all over the place in the wind. Anamaria was in the crow's nest of the Black Pearl when she gave a shout. Jack drew his blue eyes gaze from the Sea and looked up. "What do you see?" Jack shouted. The rest of the mates stopped cleaning and working to listen. "Commodore Norington's come after us!" Anamaria shouted. "Well if it's a fight they want they'll get it! Load the cannons!" Jack said amused. Commodore Norington was supposed to be retired. What was an old git like that doing out at Sea?

Jack climbed up to the crow's nest and took the telescope himself sure enough Norington's flag was up. "Bloody fool!" Jack said deciding to slow down the Black Pearl. It was time to do what he did best he grabbed a pistol and sword and told the other men to do the same. They all gladly obeyed. "Mr. Gibbs help me slow down this ship!" Jack bellowed. "Aye aye captain!" Mr. Gibbs was first mate and gladly did whatever Jack told him too. Very soon the Commodore's ship caught up to them.

"Captain Jack Sparrow! Long have I designed to catch you and you have always escaped till now that is." Commodore shouted. "Is he drunk?" Jack whispered to Mr. Gibbs. "Yes." Gibbs said nodding back. "Drunker then the whores in the whore house." Anamaria observed. "Excellent this should make our jobs easier for us." "What can I do captain?" Angel said. Angel was the newcomer of the lot and the Cabin Boy. He had run away from respectable English home and sailed under the pirates' code. Angel's short dirty brown hair and sea green eyes stood out a mile on the ocean. "Load the cannons we're going to down this man's ship." Jack said. Angel ran off. "Right that's got that scalywag out of our way begin!" Jack shot Commodore Norington in the chest just as the man said, "He is without a doubt the worst pirate I've ever seen!" At this shot there was an instant uproar.

The fighting lasted several minutes before all of Norington's men were dead. "Search the ship Mr. Cotton!" "Aye need to do the dirty work." Cotton's bird Polly answered in response. "Come on Mr. Gibbs let's go." Jack jumped on board.

Kerri had been crying and pounding on the door ready to break the window when she heard gunshots. "That's either papa or pirates." Kerri muttered. She tried to see through the pale window but couldn't. In a minute there were no sounds followed by loud footsteps and the door was broken open. Two men stood in the doorway Kerri only recognized one of them. "Kerri?" Jack asked. "Jack!" Kerri stood up wiping the tears out of her eyes.

"Why are you here?" Jack asked his eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Jack you think I'd attack one of the world's best pirates puh-lease. If you must know Norington kidnapped me so that he could trap you so that my dad would attack you." Kerri muttered. At that moment Angel joined Jack and Mr. Gibbs. "What did I miss?" Angel asked. "Fine. You stay with us and be a cabin girl." Jack said. "Excuse me there is only one cabin kid." Angel joked even though he was in his twenties. He eyed Kerri who eyed him back. "Fine but she's your responsibility take her and go. And if Turner comes after us you'll be the one hanged not me." Jack said firmly. "Fine." Angel said shrugging.

Anamaria got Kerri safely on board the Black Pearl. Kerri was quite frankly sick of pirates sick of ships and ready to go home but didn't dare argue. Kerri watched from inside the Captain's cabin as they blew up the Dauntless glad at least to be rid of Norington. She only hoped her mother and father were all right.
