A month later, The Pearl was heading for Port Royal, Jack and Nakada were up on the deck practising sword fighting. Nakada had borrowed Anamaria's sword and, due to her leg wound, which had not completely healed, was limping as she dodged Jack's cloth covered sword.
"Very good." Jack said finally "But how's your foot work." He slid his sword blade along Nakada's and began to move slowly, his daughter mirroring his every move.
"First I step 'ere." Jack grinned and took a swipe at the girl, who lightly leaped backwards, and grimaced slightly as her weight went to her bad leg.
"And then you step again." Nakada said back, they had done this practise several times already. They eventually stopped and Nakada passed her cloth-covered sword back to Ana.
"We'll make a great pirate of ye someday." Jack said proudly and then looked upwards as a young man in the crows nest yelled
"Land ho!" Jack walked over to the wheel and Nakada limped along behind him.
"Back to Port Royal." She whispered and Jack saw the pained expression in her eyes. He grabbed one of her hands and spun her to face him.
"We'll get supplies 'ere," he said carefully "Then we'll go to Tortuga, proper pirate town, and get you one of these," He pointed to his tattoo of a bird flying past the sunset "It'll show you're a Sparrow." Nakada smiled and watched the quiet docks of Port Royal come closer.
As soon as the Pearl docked and the anchor was down, Jack turned to the crew
"I want some of ye to stay 'ere," he bellowed to the crew "Those who leave the ship. I don't want to see any of ye hanged." He and Nakada turned and walked down the gangplank and onto the docks.
"Oi, you!" someone yelled after them and they turned to see an elderly dock master and a small boy "It's a shilling to tie your boat at the dock. And I shall need to know your name." Jack reached into his pocket and placed three shillings on the dock master's book.
"How about three shillings," he said "And you call me 'boat' a ship, and we forget the name." The dock master stared at the coins on his book.
"Welcome to Port Royal Mr. Smith." He said, transfixed by the coins. Jack nodded and continued to walk. Nakada slipped a hand into Jack's and then removed it, leaving a small pouch in his palm; she had cut the dock masters purse. Jack looked at his daughter and they both grinned. They stopped walking and Nakada looked at the sign above the door before looking at Jack, who raised an eyebrow and pushed the door open, pulling his daughter into the hot workshop of the Blacksmith.
Will looked up from the sword he was working on when he heard the door slam shut. Seeing Jack and Nakada in the gloom he walked over to them. He opened his mouth to speak, saw how Nakada had changed, and his mouth stayed open.
"'Ello Will, I'm fine, thanks for asking. You" Nakada sniggered and Will flushed
"Sorry," he said "I just didn't expect you to look so much like Jack after two months." He nodded to Jack in greeting and led them over to a corner, noting Nakada's limp but saying nothing. He presented Nakada with a thin box
"This is for you Nakada." She opened the box and gasped at the elegant looking sword that lay inside. She lifted it out gently and held the hilt fondly, staring at the blade.
"It's beautiful," she breathed "Thank you so much!" Will smiled and looked at Jack
"What brings you two to Port Royal?" he asked
"Supplies," Jack, replied, his eyes on the weapon in Nakada's hands "And to see you and Elizabeth." At this Will grinned
"Right," he said " You get you're supplies whilst I finish up in here."
Jack and Nakada said goodbye and walked out of the Blacksmith. Jack walked slightly ahead of his daughter due to her limp.
"… And then they made me their chief." He finished for the hundredth time, Nakada yawned sarcastically and punched him lightly on the shoulder. He told her the stories of his adventure every chance he could, she found his obsession with them humorous.
"Yeah, yeah Jack." She smirked "Tell me summit else!"
"O.K. lass, I will." He chortled in high humour "Don't you worr…" he stopped suddenly and Nakada frowned slightly as she rounded the corner Jack had just turned into.
"Oh hell" she gasped and moved to the left so that she was slightly behind Jack, her hand straying to her new sword.
A group of soldiers stood around Jack, the one who was obviously the leader of the group had a sword to Jack's neck and was watching him menacingly.
"Well, well," he growled "Jack Sparrow."
"Commodore Norrington" Jack spat back, his eyes burning with hate "Need I remind you it's Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow."
"I've been hunting you for years. And you walk right into me." Norrington retorted and then saw Nakada and pushed the sword more threateningly at Jack
"Here to steal people's family," he said menacingly "whose girl is this one?" Nakada felt her blood boil slightly as she stepped next to Jack, glaring at Norrington
"I don't steal families," Jack growled "She's me own lass." At this Norrington and his soldiers laughed, finding the idea of Jack brining up a child amusing, when the laughter died off, the Commodores sword brushed none to lightly on Jack's neck, forcing him to back up slightly.
"Very funny Sparrow," Norrington hissed "But a pirates end awaits you." Nakada gasped, knowing this meant a meeting with the gallows for her dad. Norrington looked form her to a guard.
"Bring the girl," he said "We'll find her parents eventually, don't worry Miss." He added to Nakada as the guard put his hand on her shoulder and she watched as another guard shackled Jack. Jack saw her watching her solemnly and grinned, pulling his head backwards. He did twice more before she twigged. Smirking evilly, she kicked backwards and high, ignoring the pain jolt through her injured leg as it somehow caught the guard who held her in the groin. He hissed a curse and let her go as he dropped gently to the floor. She turned and ran down the street
"Don't let 'em catch ye lass!!" Jacks voice rang out over the soldiers' yells as she sped off, not daring to look back.
No!!! Jack's been caught!!!!! But.... Wow… I watched The Astronauts Wife for the first time the other day, Spencer Armacost looks so gorgeous… he always looks gorgeous though!!! I also want to say, is it just me or does he look like Will Turner when he is in Chocolat?!?!?!?!
Wow.. my story has been up for a month now. I know this probably sounds really weird but I need to know if you think I should continue with this story… please tell me… your opinion counts so much!!!
To my Reviewers:
Mrs Sparrow: I forgive you for not reviewing, glad you like my story, good luck with yours!!
Jinxeh: Yay!!! Someone to protect Nakada whilst I dish the punishments out to everyone in my story!!! Yay… the poker dance rocks. Why is it that there is one on every ship?? Is it like in a job description or something??? So true about them all being dirty eunuchs Yes I do own the PotC DVD, I've seen it so many times I'm surprised it's still in one piece. I've never had time to check out the blooper reel properly yet (cries) Must check it out ASAP!!! I can't believe the hair is a wig… he is still gorgeous anyway but oh well (sighs).
Keep on reviewing!!!
