A.N- I know this is a short chapter... But it's the chapter that is the beginning of the end. Or end of the beginning. D(idn't I use that at the ending of my 'I'm A pirate...' story, the first one...at the end...The end of a beginning?) Well anyways this is the chapter that links the beginning and the end together.

But it's more then halfway done. But...Well, it's sorta important.

Ooh, by the way... This story will be done before Christmas. which is like...acouple days short of two weeksaway.

I can't really explain it... So, er, just read it and maybe you'll know what I mean.

Jack Sparrow and James Norrington stood beside eachother. Both stood with their back rigid and they're head held up like they were kings. Norrington stood with his hands folded together tightly behind his back, and Jack stood with his lazily resting on the railing. At the moment, there was an unspoken 'competiton' going on between the too. Which one seemed to look the most in charge of everything that was going on.

"This is a very slow ship." Jack commented.

He looked at Jack with a scowl and then back out to the ocean. "Is that the only thing your ship is prided for?"

His brows furrowed in thought and he shook his head, "No."

"Because you've been bragging about the speed of your ship for the last two days."

"No I haven't. I was merely suggesting that this ship is slower."

"Than your ship."

"Well, if you insist. But remember, you said it, not me." Jack smirked slightly as he leaned on the railing to see his ship that was behind them a few hundred yards. It was argreed that Jack should be on the Navy's ship, and his ship follow. If he was on his ship, and have the Navy's ship follow, it'd fall far behind them.

"Where do you think Jonathen is heading?"

"Why do ye think I know? You're the commodore. You should know."

"You said that you knew how Jonathen thought." The commodore snapped at the pirate, looking at him in anger, wanting to throw him off the ship into the spot where sharks were most common.

"And I do know how he thinks."

"So why don't you know where he's heading?" Demanded Norrington, slapping his hand down onto the rail. Jack only looked at him with an amused expression on his tan face.

"I do have a thought to where he is going. I only asked ye why do you think I know. You're the commodore, you should be able to figure it out without my help."

"I never asked for your help. You offered it, forced it."

Jack rolled his eyes. "Anyways, I've been thinking lately... And I think John might go back to Port Royal. But not right away, probally taking all the time he can, maybe stopping at a few islands or ports on the way."

"Why?"

"Because he obviously is thinking that since your the commodore of Port Royal...and he kidnapped a young lady and commodore's nephew who were from Port Royal, that ye wouldn't look back to Port Royal to see if he was there."

Norrington listened intently, then looked around his ship, to the members of the crew doing their different jobs. "Do you think think so? But this isn't the whole Navy... There are still a few dozen men back at the fort, most of them, actually."

"But their leader is gone, isn't he? They wouldn't know what to do without their commanding officier..." For a brief moment he stopped. A thought came into his head, "It would be chaos for the whole Port." Jack looked over the edge, to the waves hitting the side of the ship. He knew that he was right.

Jonathen most likely would go back to Port Royal to cause havic. Will wouldn't be able to offer too much help... Not with Elizabeth and their two sons back at home. Jack let out a silent sigh thinking about the two boys that were always interested and always begged him to tell them one of his many stories about being on the ocean. He'd hate it if anything happened to one of them. The sound of Norrington's voice tore him out of his thoughts.

"My God." Was all he said, realizing that Jack was right. His men would be able to fight for a while... But...

"You left Port Royal open for a pirate attack." Jack sighed.

There. Do you get what I was trying to say at the start? If not, well that's okay. If you do... Great.
