Chapter Four - Old and New Friends
Stepping over broken shards of glass the trio carefully walked down the busy streets of Tortuga. The brothels and taverns were just opening.or closing. You could never tell with Tortuga. Prostitutes lined the streets looking for customers and calling invitations of which the pirates were almost too happy to except. Will, who had already visited the dirty little hole of a town, knew the drill and kept his eyes firmly glued to the ground, avoiding all eye contact. His strong hand was securely clasped around Emily's forearm for fear that a pirate of some sort would try to take her from him. Keeping a steady eye on Elizabeth, who stood by his side, he wished she would let him do the same to her but knew better not to ask. She was much too independent for that.
Elizabeth, who had never stepped foot in such a filthy place with an exception of the Black Pearl, was extremely careful not to make any sudden movements. She had however been around drunk people and knew it was best not to provoke them in any way. Unless of course you were looking for a black eye or such. Sighing she glanced at Will briefly and managed a small smile. As a little kid she had always had a strange obsession with pirates. Most people had dismissed it or said it was probably because she was the Governors daughter and needed some form of escape but not Will. They had spent hours playing pirates and make believe.when her schedule allowed it.
Elizabeth looked up for a moment to see what all the fuss was about a few metres on. Blinking quickly she tried to make out the mangled figures. Through the tangle of fists she noticed they were both male and due to the fact of a woman hanging of one off their arms she guessed it was probably about her. Taking Emily's other arm she shot a look at Will that was as clear as day. They needed to find Jack. Fast.
Standing with his arms crossed a certain pirate captain leant against the stone wall. A grin was evident on his lips, just wide enough to see his gold teeth. The metal glinted in the morning light and not wanting to bring attention to himself he shut his mouth. It had always been a fun past time of his.as long as he wasn't the one being bashed up. Tearing his eyes away from the entertainment he noticed three figures walk of in the other direction. Blinking quickly he found that the two elder ones he recognised. They were none other than his old friends, William Turner and Elizabeth Swann. He looked at the girl with them, a spitting image of both her elders. He grinned. So the whelp had finally asked the question. Glancing back at them quickly just in time to see their retreating backs walk into a nearby tavern he smiled. Without much of a thought he started to head in the direction they had vanished moments before.
The trio found themselves in a dimly lit room with a musky smell. Or stench as Elizabeth put it. The bar was mostly empty but filling fast. No one took much notice of the newcomers. Pulling away from her parents Emily stared around at the tavern. Having never stepped foot inside one before she was amazed and the inhabitants astonished her even more so. A few tables away a man layed unconscious on the hard wood, now empty tankards sat scattered around his sleeping body. Being careful not wake him Emily reached out to touch the large glasses.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Missy."
Eyes wide as dinner plates she spun around to see a man with black almost dreadlock like hair tangled with the oddest things and eyes thickly outlined with kohl. His attire was simple for a pirate, as she guessed he was, and a hat sat squarely on his head. Emily stared up at his astounded. And silence filled the air until her Father stepped forward to protect his daughter. Upon seeing the face of the man his own expression changed from anger to confusion.
"Jack?"
The pirates' brow furrowed deeply. "Captain. Captain Jack Sparrow."
Will smiled and Elizabeth stepped forward just as amazed as her companions. Taking another step towards her old friend she studied his face closely, still rather unsure whether he was real or not. "Easy with the good love." A smile flickered on her lips as she stepped backwards. Choosing to ignore his comment she crossed her arms across her chest.
"Is it really you Jack?"
Letting the Captain part slip for once Jack nodded and flashed her a flirtatious smile, his gold teeth just visible. "Since the last time I looked. Ah." His eye caught Emily's and he winked. Still rather stunned she smiled weakly at him. All her life she had wanted to sail with pirates and maybe even become one herself but now that there was a real live one in front of her she didn't know what to do or say. Understanding rather well Jack nodded at her and turned to Will. His smile had widened as he gave Will a knowing look.
"Been busy have ya, lad?"
Smiling back rather bashfully Will looked to the floor a blush evident on his tanned cheeks. Nodding yet again Jack grinned. "Ah well so 'ave meself I guess." Shrugging slightly he tipped his hat at the young girl and grinned slightly lopsided.
"The name's Sparrow. Captain Jack Sparrow. And don't you forget it"
Emily smiled tentatively. Her parents hadn't spoken much of this rugged stranger but she could remember one direct quote. 'Our whole world turned upside down the day Jack Sparrow walked or rather staggered into our lives.' Her parents had never made it perfectly good if this was a negative or positive thing but it had never really bothered her before. Now gazing up at the man in front of her she couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement towards the adventures she was sure he would bring.
Curtsying almost clumsily she replied with a soft. "Emily Jane." Bringing her slender hand to his lips he brushed them across her soft skin, keeping his dark eyes securely on hers. "Charmed I'm sure."
Clearing his throat in a very business like manor Will leaned over to Jack and whispered something Emily was unable to hear into his ear. Eyes widening in disbelief Jack cleared his throat also and searched the other mans eyes for some sign of a hoax. Unable to find one a very serious look overtook his features and together him and Will walked over to a table hidden by the shadows out of earshot. Elizabeth began to follow before stopping to check her daughters' whereabouts.
Emily however stood extremely still. Pushing back an escaping curl in an almost hypnotised trance she stared wide-eyed at her Mother for many seconds. Shaking her head in an attempt to wake up she blinked several times before sighing deeply. Elizabeth watched her with an almost amused expression before it dawned on her how hard it must be for Emily to have just found out all that she had in such a short time period. She looked upon her sympathetically just as she spoke up.
"Mother would you mind terribly if I stepped outside for a bit.I need to.you know.clear my head."
Elizabeth nodded understandingly. "That would be quite alright. On one condition though. You be on your guard at all times." Emily rolled her eyes in a dismissing way just as a serious expression entered her Mothers eyes. "No I mean it Emily Jane. Whether you like it or not we are currently in Tortuga. A town where it's main inhabitants are pirates or prostitutes.."
Nodding violently Emily grimaced and headed towards the door, her Mothers warnings still ringing continuously in her head.
Sighing Elizabeth watched Emily's petite figure disappear into the crowds. Hearing the door shut she turned on her heel and headed in the direction that Will and Jack were seated. A frown was immediately placed on her lips when she finally reached their table. Pushing aside a few now empty tankards she narrowed her eyes.
"Can't you last five minutes without a drink?"
Jack smiled wobbly and raised his glass to her. Taking a big long drink he wiped his mouth. "Now love, don't ask questions you already know the answer to." He grinned at her angry form and leaned over to order another round of drinks from a nearby waitress.
Rolling his eyes Will turned his attention back to Elizabeth. She smiled at him but his face remained serious. Standing up from his chair he walked towards her his eyes searching the room almost frantically. Upon reaching her her expression had changed. Confusion now shone in her eyes, worry included.
"What is wrong."
Still scanning the room his eyes stared back into hers. "Where's Emily."
Elizabeth smiled happy that it wasn't something much worse. Taking his hand in hers she stared back into his eyes. "She's fine and well. Just outside actually. She said she needed some fresh air and to think things over."
Will pulled away. Anger flashed briefly in his dark eyes but upon gazing into her hurt face it vanished almost instantly. Returning his hand to hers he smiled lovingly. Stroking her fingers gently softly he kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry. I just don't want anything to happen to her. I've already experienced loosing something I loved and it's just something I don't want to repeat if I can help it."
Elizabeth nodded a smiled reappeared on her face just as Jack staggered to her side. One hand firmly grasped around a fastly empting bottle of what was presumedly rum he grinned in a drunken way. "If you're worried 'bout that little lass of yours I can go check on her."
Nodding yet again Will reseated himself. "Thank you Jack. That would be much appreciated."
Elizabeth however did not seem that reassured at his sudden act of kindness. Eyeing him in a peculiar manor she tilted her head to search his eyes for an answer. Sensing her gaze Jack caught her eye and winked mischievously. Shaking back her escaping curls Elizabeth hid a smile as she pushed him in the direction of the door.
Grinning as he walked away Jack began to hum a pirate song as he pushed open the doors almost regretting his offer. "I'll be back." Sighing his grin widened. "After all it can't be that bad. The girl being as pretty as she is."
