Thanks for the help with the 'seek' 'said' issue!!! But as 4 the 'choppiness' of the writing, I'll try hard to sort of stop it.( Sometimes it's just the way I write, so please bear with me, here!!!) Other than that, glad u liked my story!!! (I'm really a Johnny Depp fan, but Orlando is okay, too.)

Lauren04: Glad u like my story!!

All rightie then!! On with Chapter 2

A rescue, a capture, and an escape

Jade, Murtogg, and Mullroy were all listening to a tale Jack was telling on the ship. It was about him, as usual, when he met with some natives on an island.

"So then, they made me their chief-"

But just then, a girl fell from the cliff. It looked strangely like.......

"ELIZABETH!!!!!!" Jade shouted as she glanced around, and, seeing no one helping her sibling, jumped off the boat and dove into the crystalline waters to save her sister.

Jack watched her for a moment, and then turned to the guards.

"She can't save her alone. You'll be helping her then??"

"I can't swim!!!!" cried Murtogg fearfully.

Jack turned to Mullroy, who looked too petrified of the water itself, lest jump into it.

"Pearl of the King's navy YOU are!" said Jack sarcastically as he took off his coat and effects, and thrust them to the guards.

"Do NOT lose these!!" With that, he also dove into the water.

Jack started swimming towards Jade, who he saw was struggling with Elizabeth, who looked like she was dead. He took his dagger, and cut off the heavy dress that Elizabeth was wearing, and helped Jade carry her/swim to a nearby dock. They put Elizabeth on the deck of the dock. (Hey!!! That has a ring to it!! The DECK of the DOCK!! That's cool!!! Sorry, keep reading!!! LOL!!! Sparrow MoNkEy) While they were busy with Elizabeth, Murtogg and Mullroy came running over.

"NOT BREATHING!!!" cried Murtogg nervously.

'Idiots.' thought Jack as he shoved the two guards aside and yelled,

"MOVE!!"

He grabbed his dagger and cut the strays from Elizabeth's corset, tore it off, and threw it at Murtogg, who caught it. Elizabeth immediately opened her eyes and started sputtering out water. Jade got down on her knees and helped Elizabeth get up.

"Lizzie, are you all right??"

Murtogg and Mullroy were looking at Jack with awe, as the former spoke,

"Never would've thought of that."

Jack smirked at them,something he was so good at

"Clearly you've never been to Singapore."

A sword point found its way to Jack's nose. Suddenly a voice demanded,

"ON YOUR FEET."

Commodore Norrington and a handful of soldiers had made their way towards them. Norrington was pointing his sword dangerously close to Jack's face. Jack did as he was told as Governor Swann came running up to Jade and Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth!! Jade!! What-Elizabeth, are you allright????"

"Yes. Yes, I'm fine." Elizabeth said in a shaky voice. Governor Swann took off his coat and wrapped it around Elizabeth, then turned to Norrington and said,

"Shoot him."

Jade was thinking quickly. 'I CAN'T let them hurt him-he saved my sister!!'

"Father, do you really intend to kill one of Elizabeth's rescuers??" she reasoned coolly.

Jack turned to Jade, giving her a prayer-like gesture of thanks. Jade saw this and gave him a small smile. She was already beginning to like him. Oblivious to her, Jack was also having similar thoughts.

Meanwhile, Norrington held out his hand.

"I believe thanks are in order."

Jack took it somewhat hesitantly. And for good reason, for as soon as Norrington had Jack's hand, he grabbed his arm and pulled up the sleeve to Jack's shirt, revealing a pirate brand.

"Had a little encounter with the East India Trading Company, did we, PIRATE???"

"Hang him." said Governor Swann immediatley.

"Of course. Gillette, fetch some irons," Norrington pulled Jack's sleeve up further to reveal a sparrow and sunset tattoo, "Well, well, well. The infamous Jack Sparrow, is it?"

Jack rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow, if you please, sir"

Norrington chose to mock Jack further.

"Well, I don't see your SHIP, CAPTAIN."

"I'm in the market, as it were." Jack snapped.

Murtogg started to join the conversation.

"Told ya he was tellin' the truth," he said to Mullroy. To the Commodore, he provided,

"These are his, sir."and proceeded to hand Norrington Jack's effects. Norrington examined them over.

"No additional shots, nor powder, a compass that doesn't point north," He pulled out Jack's sword from its sheath, "And I half expected it to be made of wood." He said, smirking at Jack's glare. "You are, without a dought, the worst pirate I've ever heard of."

Now it was Jack's turn to smirk.

"Ah," he said, gesturing with his two pointer fingers, "But you HAVE heard of me." (OOOOOOOH, I LOVE that line!!!!! Sparrow MoNkEy)

Norrington frowned and grabbed Jack by one of his arms and ordered two of the soldiers to put irons on him. Jade couldn't stand doing just nothing about this whole mess any longer. She stepped in front of Jack. She HAD to make the Commodore see reason.

"Commodore, I really must object. Pirate or not, this man helped save my sister's life. You can't just hang him!!!"

Norrington sneered at Jade. (Boy, he does a lot of sneering!!! LOLSparrow MoNkEy)

"Miss Swann, one good deed cannot make up for a lifetime of wickedness."

Jade had to roll her eyes. 'Oh PLEASE.' She thought, ' Should've known Norrington would be acting like he was King of England once he got promoted!'

"Though it seems enough to condemn him!" retorted Jack.

"INDEED." snarled the Commodore.

The men who put Jack in his irons finished with their job, and clear out away from the latter.

"Finally!"

Jack threw his chains around Jade's neck. Norrington and his men stepped forward in alarm.

"Mr. Sparrow-what-what on earth are you doing??" Jade hissed furiously, but Jack ignored her.

"I knew you'd warm up to me." Jack snarled at the Commodore. To Jade, who was wriggling angrily, he whispered in her ear,

"Don't worry dahling, I won't hurt ye, and it's Captain Jack Sparrow."

Jade stopped struggling, but was still a bit miffed.

Jack continued,

"Commodore, my effects, please. Oh, and my hat!"

Norrington hesitated.

"Commodore!" Jack warned, still holding Jade. Finally, Norrington bid his men to get Jack's things.

"Jade, luv, would you be so kind?? Now, would you be very kind......"

Jade took his effects from Norrington-and his hat. She gladly put his effects into his belt, and put his hat on his head, but while she did that, she whispered into his ear,

"You have to get away from here, I just know they'll hang you at the first chance Norrington will obtain."

Jack grinned.

"Are ye that worried about me, love?" he whispered in return.

Jade then pretended to smooth his hat out while she shrugged and whispered,

"Well, like I said, even if you are a pirate, nobody deserves to be hanged after they saved someone. I'll create some sort of distraction so you can escape. Well- if you can. You don't exactly know this port, do you?"

Jack turned her around and drawled,

"Gentlemen, you will always remember the day you ALMOST caught Captain Jack Sparrow!!!!"

Jack then let go of Jade and shoved her to the Commodore and grabbed a rope and swung away.

Jade, remembering her promise to create a diversion, pushed Norrington off the dock, and into the water. After saluting him, she ran away herself. The soldiers didn't know what to do: help the Commodore, get Jade, or go after Jack.
