Hang on hang on I might own something. No sadly not. Life's unfair like that. How come I still don't own POTC? Oh yeah that's right someone else owns it!
Chapter 2
Jack Sparrow looked at what he termed as 'his whelp.' If he read the signs right this was one very discontented whelp. The determination that so reminded Jack of Bill Turner was gone and instead there was a dull resignation to accept what life threw at him. Overall the signs were not good especially as Will should be optimistic about the future that he and Elizabeth had only just begun to embark on. Which reminded Jack why wasn't he invited to the wedding? Oh well it was probably for the best Jack wasn't exactly the most popular man in Port Royale. Especially after he escaped the gallows and made a fool of both the Governor and Norrington. Norrington had expected to catch Jack after 1 week. But then again Jack wasn't all that keen on going back to the gallows.
Still here to Port Royale had fate led him. Jack had thought that he would come back to Port Royale to find Will and Elizabeth happily married. Except that was clearly not the case. So now the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow had a discontented whelp on one hand and an even bigger problem on the other hand. It was on the matter of this problem that he had come to enlist the whelp's help.
'I'm sorry.' Will said' I didn't mean to sound so bitter.' Before Jack could reply Will carried on with 'Life has been terrible since the governor has disowned us and nobody wants to buy my swords anymore.' This all came out in a rush and was more than the pirate could handle. So before Will could carry on Jack interrupted with 'How would you like to be a crew member on the Black Pearl'
'What' Will's eyes were blazing and Jack knew instantly that he had just done something incredibly stupid!
'What do you mean be a pirate?'
'I said crew member not pirate' muttered Jack but Will didn't hear him
'It was the fact that I saved your life and Elizabeth decided to marry me and not Commodore that started all my misery and you want me to become a pirate. I could be hung and then what would Elizabeth do. She's disgraced her family and the governor would never accept her back!'
This definitely wasn't what Jack had expected. The kid still hadn't accepted that he was a pirate. Maybe it was time to help the whelp accept his ancestry. Meanwhile Will was still ranting about how pirates were thieves who stole lives as well as treasure. By this time Jack had quite enough and had a headache as well. So gradually bending down Jack unhurriedly picked up a piece of wood and calmly whacked Will around the head with it.' Thanks fer teaching me that one mate' remarked Jack as he unhitched the donkey and threw Will over the back of the donkey. Quickly Jack led the donkey down to the docks and deposited Will into the bottom of the row boat that had cost 4 shillings to tie up. People needed to be bribed with more money these days. And Norrington thought that pirates were the only greedy thieving scoundrels in the world. Turning the donkey so it faced in the general direction of the smithy, Jack lightly smacked the donkey's rump, which had a small scar due to the circumstances in which Jack had last met the donkey, and it trotted off.
Elizabeth sat at the window wondering where her husband was. He wasn't usually this late coming in. However she could always be optimistic and believe that Will had got a big order of swords. No wasn't really working. Will hadn't had a big job since before they were married and 'hadn't disgraced themselves' by telling everyone of their intentions to marry. Goodness knows why her father had thought that she still might marry Norrington. Idly reaching for her sewing she suddenly saw a donkey go past her window. 'That's interesting' she thought and then smiled at the memories that single phrase gave her.
O.K that's all for now! Read and review
