Ok, next chapter! Sorry it took so long. Everything has been a bit crazy and I'm trying to do some other things besides writing. Hope you enjoy. Now on with the story...

Chapter 15

Emma waved to James, who was watching the two people leave. Emma turned back around. The plan was to find Henri, Will and Elizabeth, commandeer a ship, save the Black Pearl and crew, and finish out finding the Bronze Tiger Treasure.

The two quickly made their way to the Blacksmith's shop. Jack knocked on the door. The door wasn't locked, and opened by itself.

Clang, clang clang. Will and a woman were in the middle of sword fight. With a flick of the wrist Will knocked the sword out of the woman's hand and held his at her neck.

"Touché, Priscilla. But you have improved."

Then, noticing Jack and Emma, standing in the door way.

"Jack, Emma how good to see you both so soon. This is my new student, Priscilla. She is one of Elizabeth's friends."

Emma shot Will a smile. Jack mumbled hello and cleared hit throat.

"Dear William, we have a bit of a problem. Ye see, me Pearl has been taken by that son of a-"

"Jack!" Emma scolded.

"Dog, Calico Jack. He was convinced, luv, over here was Anne Bonny and that she had fallen for me. There are two problems with the theory. One, this girl ain't no Bonny. And two, this girl has hated me from day one."

Emma shot him a look. Jack just ignored her. He continued to tell the story in great detail.

"Anyway we are in need of a ship and would like to know if you know of one."

Will rubbed his chin as if in deep thought. Then snapped his fingers as if he had something.

"I have a boat."

"Ye do?"

"Yes, well at least Elizabeth does. The Commodore gave her a boat about a year back for her wedding gift. It's called the Prim Rose."

"Oh, how scary! The deadly Prim Rose! Oh, the humanity!" Jack said scarstically.

Emma giggled softly. Will sighed and shook his head.

"Do you want a ship or not?"

"Fine, fine. But it can't be pink. Who has ever heard of a pirate in a pink boat?"

Priscilla stepped forward.

"May I be so bold as to ask if I may accompany you on the adventure?"

Jack stared at her for a moment.

"Can you steer a ship?"

"Yes. And cook, clean and pillage my black guts out."

Jack smiled at that answer. Emma rolled her eyes.

"We have an accord, luv. Now what be yer name again?"

"Priscilla Matthews, captain. I will be honored to be on your ship."

Emma rolled her eyes again. Suck-up!

A little while later, Jack and Emma headed off to the tavern. Henri was out sweeping. He greeted Jack with a hug.

"Back so soon, ye ole dog?"

"Actually, we would like you to come on an adventure with us."

"Who is we?"

Jack counted on his fingers. "Well, me, luv, here, Bootstraps son Will, his wife and his student named Priscilla who wants to tag along."

"What be the name of the ship?"

"Thee Prim Rose."

Henri grinned.

"Mighty fine ship. Very classy. Seven guest cabins. Over a hundred cannons and is pretty fast. Ok, I'm in. But I'm navigator."

"Fine, fine. Whatever you like, just meet us at the shore at dawn tomorrow. See ye, Henri."

"Till later, Jack."

Jack waved and they were off again.

"Jack where are we staying?"

"The Blacksmith's shop. No one will find us there. Will said he didn't mind."

"Fine, fine just don't get to close."

"Whatever do you mean, luv?" Jack grinned seductively.

"I mean it, you have to stay a foot away from me through the night, clear?"

Jack sighed.

"Fine, fine. Ruin ole Jack. He had gotten too many put downs anyways."

Emma grinned.
