Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean, nor do I own any of its characters. It is an inspired work and more a sequel of the story.
Author's Note: Well, my story isn't going too bad, is it? I'm sorry if I haven't updated my story lately. I've been busy doing schoolwork etc. I've read over both chapters and I've realised I've put in a lot of dialogue (I'm sorry. I'm just used to script writing). Well, in this chapter I'm trying to cut back on it, so bare with me.
Summary: So far Jack has gotten himself in big trouble by playing cheecky with the Governor, and now's he's on the run.
"Well, I never thought he'd do it..." puffed Jack, hiding behind a statue of one of Port Royal's navy soldiers.
Will, hiding behind a statue cannon, shook his head at Jack and absolutely dismissed what Jack had to say.
"There he is!" yelled a guard.
And that was the signal for both of them to run for their lives. As Will and Jack started running up the docks, picking any boat that was there, they were suddenly attacked by thousands of bullets. The navy that were guarding the docks, were alert and doing their job.
Fortunately, Jack and Will managed to run away in time. However, the same could not be said for their very small boat. Seven or eight bullet holes were visible in the boat and did not help their situation. They rowed vigorously to where the Pearl was awaiting their arrival, whilst trying to cup out the water flowing in from the holes. Will rowed and Jack cupped the water out of the boat with his hands. He held himself in a strange position, having his foot trying to cover one hole on the right hand side of the boat and his other foot twisted around trying to cover two the holes on the left hand side of the boat –more towards Will's side. Luckily, Jack seated himself in a position where his buttocks covered three other holes on the bottom of the boat.
Slowly but surely, they managed to row to the Black Pearl in time so they weren't seen by any guards.
"Welcome back cap'n," said the familiar coloured Parrot, owned by the tongueless Cotton.
"You taught him to talk," said Will in amusement.
The bird flew onto Cotton's shoulder –Cotton feeling very proud of himself for teaching his pet.
"You little missy are the most beauteous dame I've ever seen. D'yar like talking animals? I'll show you another... later." squawks Cotton's bird, adding a little whistle at the end of his line. Cotton's face went bright pink in embarrassment and walked away, smacking his bird over the head, as he did so.
"Where's my crew" hollered Jack.
"We're all here," answered Gibbs, his face covered in oil from scrubbing cannons.
"Where's Anamaria?" Jack asked, his voice a bit concerned.
"She should be on deck," Gibbs said reassuringly "I'm sure she's just hiding".
"Cap'n! Cap'n! The Royals have spo'ed us!" yelled a crewmember
"Set up the sails! Get going you scallywags," ordered Jack immediately, "Sorry Will but you're coming with us. We can't risk going back with them on their guard."
"Jack? Jack? Jack!" called Anamaria from below the balcony of Elizabeth's estate.
She was wearing a different outfit. It wasn't as loose as normal. It was as if she had dressed so she could run faster without much trouble. She wore a big brown leather jacket, and her usual feathered hat. Soon enough, the light switched on, and a window opened. Unfortunately, it wasn't who Anamaria was looking for. It was the Governor.
"Who are you woman? Can you not see it is after dark? Be off with you," shooed away the Governor. He popped his head back inside but popped his head back out. "Wait. You're dressed awfully funny for lady, and of this time of day. And what a funny hat you're wearing... It looks almost like a pira...." There was silence, and shock. "Guards!"
Four men from the bottom story of the house came running out the front door. Anamaria suddenly realised what was happening and ran as fast as she could away from them. She ran towards the garden where, she found out, two other guards patrolled the area. She looked for other options to run to but the guards were coming in from all directions. Soon enough, she found herself in chains, screaming for freedom.
Suddenly Elizabeth came running to the balcony and saw Anamaria. Wearing a white night gown with a shocked and scared expression on her face, she yelled out to stop immediately. Elizabeth ran down to the garden, buying some time for herself to think of an excuse she could give her father and guards. She gave a little smile to Anamaria, as if everything was going to be fine. So Anamaria just stood where she was, waiting for what was to come out of Elizabeth's mouth.
"You can't arrest Anamaria," said Elizabeth, unsure as what to do next.
"And why not?" said the Governor.
"Well, you see..." mumbled Elizabeth, "Anamaria... she's not a pirate. She found that hat somewhere."
"And how would you know Elizabeth?"
"...Because, I- I- I ...was with Anamaria the time! She's no pirate. She's an old friend," smiled Elizabeth "Anamaria came to visit us from England"
The Governor, shocked and embarrassed at the same time, was speechless. He babbled on, but eventually found the words to apologise.
"I'm terribly sorry my dear. It's just what you're wearing.. and with all the fuss about pirates... I must be going paranoid," said the Governor, "Well, what are you waiting for men? Unlock this lady's chains."
