Disclaimer: I own none of the characters, places or ships that featured or mentioned in the original Pirates of the Caribbean but if you don't recognize something I probably created it. If I did own POTC I'd be very rich!!

Authors note: My favorite characters are showing up in this chapter (Murtogg, Mullroy, Ragetti and Pintel!) The first scene was originally written for earlier in the story but I remembered about it recently and decided to put it in here.

Chapter 5

Enemies from the South

Annie emerged from the Lucky Clover the next morning, yawning and stretching. She knew Norrington was going to be peeved at not catching her. She rubbed her wrists which were still sore from the tight cuffs. She headed through the town to the dock. Her boat was still there. As she went down, she was spotted by two marines, Murtogg and Mullroy.

"Here, did you see her?" said Murtogg.

"She looks like that Sparrow kid who the Admiral was looking for," replied Mullroy, "Hang about. She is!"

"Hey you! Wait," shouted Murtogg, "Admiral!!"

Norrington came running. He saw Annie.

"Sparrow," he snarled, "Marines, guns on her!"

Annie looked at Norrington and the marines. Without a second's hesitation she jumped into the water at the side of the dock.

"Shoot her!" ordered Norrington.

"But sir, she's in the water!" protested Gillette.

"I don't care, just shoot," snapped Norrington.

"Fire!" shouted Gillette. The marines aimed at the water and fired their guns. Norrington stared in horror as the water turned red with blood. What had he done? Annie was a child. A pirate but she was still a child and he had probably killed her.

Annie struggled to dodge the bullets as they sped through the water. One hit her in the leg. She winced and seized it. She swam back to the surface and emerged under the dock.

Annie tried to keep quiet as she swam under the dock, towards dry land. Her leg stung with pain but she tried to ignore it. She reached the land and pulled herself onto it. She got to her feet and limped away.

Norrington sighed and looked down at the red water.

"God rest her soul," he muttered.

By chance, Gillette looked towards the mainland and saw Annie limping away.

"Sir," he said, "She's alive and she's getting away."

Norrington turned his head and saw Annie.

"After her!" he ordered.

Annie slumped against a wall, holding her leg. She had to get that bullet out and treat her wound. She saw a drunk asleep nearby. She took the bottle from his hand and shook it. It was nearly full. She heard the sound of marines nearby. She pulled herself up and over the wall and took the bottle with her. The marines passed by without ever guessing Annie had been there. Annie had landed in someone's back garden. There were clean clothes on the line. She pulled one of the shirts off the line and climbed back over the wall. Then she headed in the opposite direction to the marines.

Once in town, she could no longer bear the pain. She sat down near the edge of the market. She ripped the hole in her trousers a bit more. The bullet was near the surface. She took a swig from the bottle. She winced as she touched the bullet. She took a deep breath and pulled it out. She began to pant as pain coursed through her body. She ripped a sleeve off the shirt, poured some of the bottle's contents on to it and placed it over her wound. It stung as the alcohol touched her skin but it was for the best. When it stopped stinging, she made a bandage from the shirt and tied it around her thigh like her father had shown her. She took another swig from the bottle and leaned back against the wall, her eyes closed. She frowned as someone cast a shadow over her.

"Well hello there Miss Sparrow," said a nastily familiar voice. Annie opened her eyes and saw Admiral Norrington standing in front of her.

"Enjoying that?" he asked, indicating the bottle in her hand.

"Not really," said Annie, as she stood up. She drew her sword and pointed it at Norrington.

"Come now Miss Sparrow," said Norrington, "Do you think it wise to cross blades with me?"

"I'd rather die by blade than by noose," said Annie. Norrington drew his sword. He swung his arm and clashed blades with Annie. People stooped going about their business to watch. Norrington, being larger and heavier than Annie, easily pinned her against the wall, his sword pushing hers towards her throat.

"Seems I have you between a rock and a hard place, doesn't it Annie?" he snarled.

"That's what you think," said Annie. She kneed Norrington in the groin and he stumbled backwards. Annie rubbed her neck where her hand had been pressed against it. She circled around Norrington so she was now away from the wall. He straightened up.

"That was sneaky and underhanded," he said.

"Pirate, born and bred," said Annie, simply.

A crowd had now formed around them and people began to mutter. Norrington swung his sword at Annie. She ducked from his first blow and met his second. He began to slowly force her further into the market until she was backed up against a stall. He brought his sword down over her head. Annie lifted her sword up to block it. Norrington was using all his force on bringing it down. Annie reached up and held her blade with her free hand. She winced as she felt the blade cut into her hand. She aimed and kicked Norrington in the stomach. He fell backwards and landed in the dirt.

"You won't find victory there," said Annie, wiping her bleeding hand on her coat. A marine stepped forward, Norrington held up a hand.

"No," he said, "Leave her to me." Norrington got up and retrieved his sword. He swung it aiming at Annie's lower legs. She jumped once, twice, three times. On the fourth jump she landed on the market stall. Norrington continued to aim at her feet. Annie jumped to avoid his swings then kicked him in the face. As he stumbled backwards cursing, Annie jumped to the next stall and ran along the row jumping from stall to stall. Norrington moved his hand from over his eye. The heel of Annie's boot had caught him just below the eye and he now had a cut that was bleeding. He ran after Annie.

Annie jumped off the last stall and looked around. There was a large pile of barrels nearby. She quickly hid behind them. Norrington came running up followed by some marines.

"Where did she go?" he demanded. He was stood right in front of the barrels. Annie took a careful guess and kicked one out from the bottom. The whole pile collapsed on top of Norrington, burying him. He managed to pull his way out in time to see Annie disappearing into a dark doorway. A doorway which led to a pub called the Union Jack. He pulled himself out and followed her.

Once inside, Annie regretted her decision. There was no way out. The sound of Norrington shouting came from behind her. She ran and jumped onto one of the tables. She landed on a plate. Norrington came through the doorway. The plate slid across the table with Annie stood on it at an alarming speed. (A/n: Want a laugh? Imagine Jack doing this.) She struggled to maintain her balance. As she neared the edge of the table, Annie jumped off and ran across the room. The plate flew off the table and landed in a wooden beam. Norrington ran after Annie. She found a doorway and tried to open it. It was locked. She turned to face Norrington. He smiled evilly as he approached her. Annie backed up against the wall. Someone brought their tankard out of nowhere and struck Annie on the head with it, knocking her unconscious. She slumped and fell down at Norrington's feet.

The next thing Annie knew was when she awoke in a prison cell. She slowly sat up and touched the throbbing lump on the back of her head. Then she saw Norrington.

"Hello sweetheart," she said.

"Good evening Miss Sparrow," said Norrington.

"Annie Sparrow," started Governor Swann who stood next to Norrington, "You have been found guilty of piracy, resisting arrest and kidnapping. Do you have anything to say?"

"Yes," said Annie, "Kidnapping? Who did I kidnap?"

"My grand-daughter, Emma Turner," said Swann.

"I didn't kidnap her!" protested Annie

"Even if you didn't, piracy is enough to have you hung," snapped Swann.

"You hang tomorrow," said Norrington. He and Swann left. Annie sighed and looked around.

"What a miserable place," she said to herself.

A ship sailed into the harbor, the Blue Horizon. Its captain is Daniel Barbossa, the son of Captain Barbossa. Its crew of pirates was all young men in their late teens. Daniel stood at the helm, his light brown hair waving slightly in the breeze and his dark eyes fixed on Port Royal. (A/n: If this was ever made into a movie, I'd want Tom Felton to play Daniel!) Wyatt O'Connell, Daniels First Mate and best friend, approaches him.

"You think its here, Cap'n?" he said.

"I don't think," said Daniel, "I know. Lower the anchor. We wait for nightfall."

Annie was unaware of the Blue Horizon. Had she known, she wouldn't have been singing to herself.

"Five bottles of rum on the wall, five bottles of rum, you take one down, you pass it around," she sang.

In the cell next to her, Ragetti and Pintel emerge from the shadows where they had been hiding all day.

"I f you don't shut up, I'm gonna rip your throat out," snarled Pintel.

Annie turned to look at him.

"Lookie here Pin, its little Miss Sparrow," said Ragetti, his wooden eye spinning around in its socket.

"Why are you two still alive?" demanded Annie.

"We kept getting out," said Pintel.

"Sharp minds, ya see," said Ragetti, taping the side of his head.

"Sharp minds?" said Annie, raising an eyebrow, "I beg to differ."

Curt the parrot appeared at the window in Annie's cell.

"Curt!" she said.

She looked out of the window.

"Enemies from the south! Enemies from the south!" cawed Curt.

"What's he going on about?" asked Pintel.

"Danny," whispered Annie.

Small rowing boats left the Blue Horizon and headed silently towards Port Royal. The teenage pirates grinned to each other. They had their orders. When they reached the shore, they split up and headed in different directions. Seann and Perry headed up to the governors house. Smut and Crooks headed to the fort. Slim, Carlton and Wyatt headed into the town with the remainders. Slim waved his torch three times as a signal to the Blue Horizon.

Governor Swann was talking to Norrington on the fort wall.

"At least," said Swann, "There is one less pirate in our midst."

"Yes, Governor," said Norrington, "But I can't help but feel that something strange is at work."

Ragetti and Pintel were still looking at Annie as she stared out the window.

"Danny?" said Pintel, "Who is Danny?"

"Daniel Barbossa," said Annie.

"Cap'n Barbossa's kid?" said Pintel. Annie nodded as if confirming a death sentence.

"So it begins," she muttered.

The pirates were plundering the shops quietly. Their attack was quick and silent. They made as little noise and attracted as little attention as possible. They were sneaking into houses and collecting loot as they went. They came to the blacksmith's and forced their way inside. Mr. Brown was working late. He looked up as the boys came in.

"Here, get out, we ain't open!" he shouted.

"Oh Jesus!" swore Slim, "Wyatt, shoot him!"

"Shoot me?" said Brown, "Why? Who are you boys? What do you want?"

Wyatt, a sixteen year old from Tortuga, pulled out his pistol. He looked from Slim to the frightened man. He couldn't do it. It wasn't right.

"Oh give it here!" demanded Carlton, a young black boy of about seventeen. He seized the pistol and shot Brown. Brown collapsed as the bullet entered his chest but he was still alive.

"He ain't dead," said Slim, a tall, majestic boy with blond hair. He took out his own pistol, walked over to brown and shot him in the head. Slim wiped the specks of blood from his face.

"What you looking at?" he snapped at Carlton and Wyatt.

From the fort, Norrington heard a shot ring out in the night, then another shortly after the first. Then a woman screamed. Two more shots sounded and the woman was silenced.

"Marines, to the town!" he ordered. A canon fired in the distance.

Seann and Perry turned at the sound of the canon.

"Looks like someone got caught," said Seann. They both ran silently up the drive to the house. They knocked on the door. The butler, Smith, answered.

"Hello Mate," said Seann. Perry pulled out his pistol and shot Smith.

Will and Elizabeth wake up at the sound of gun fire.

"What was that?" asked Elizabeth sleepily.

"It sounded like gunfire," said Will, "Come on." He climbed out of bed. Elizabeth followed. He walked silently along the hall to the stairs, looking around a wall to the entrance hall.

Seann and Perry were arguing in whispers.

"I say we grab what we can and get out!" said Seann

"No chance!" replied Perry, "Look, the cap'n said to find the kid and get back to the..."

Perry turned his head and looked straight up at Will and Elizabeth.

"Get 'em," he said.

Will pulled Elizabeth out of view.

"They'll be the kid's parents," said Perry

Will looked at Elizabeth, trying to stay calm.

"Elizabeth, go to Emma," he said, "Stay there until I come for you."

Elizabeth quickly ran to Emma's room as Will headed to their room.

Will pulled his sword out from under the bed.

"Knew I kept you for a reason," he said. He stood up and left the room.

Elizabeth shut the door as quietly as she could so as not to alert the pirates or wake Emma. She made her way over to Emma's bed. A floor board creaked under her weight. Emma rubbed her eyes and sat up.

"Mama?" she said.

"Hush, little one," said Elizabeth, "We need to stay quiet."

Will met Seann and Perry on the landing. The boys drew their swords and aimed for Will's neck. Will blocked them. Seann put his sword under Will's and flipped it out of his hands. Perry punched Will in the face, knocking him out.

Emma had climbed into her mother's arms. Elizabeth was gently rocking her back and forth. There was a thud and the door opened.

"Will?" said Elizabeth

Seann and Perry entered. Elizabeth tightened her grip on Emma.

"We've been looking for the little one," said Seann, "Come with us, ma'am."

Elizabeth didn't move. Perry pulled out a pistol.

"Don't make me shoot you, Mrs....?" said Perry

"Turner," said Elizabeth.

"Mrs. Turner," said Perry.

Having no other choice, Elizabeth stood up, holding Emma and left the room, followed by Seann and Perry. Will was lying on the floor. He opened his eyes for a second. He saw Elizabeth being forced downstairs by pirates.

"Elizabeth?" he muttered before losing consciousness.

Annie was still looking out the window. Smut and Crooks came down the stairs. The sound of footsteps made her turn round.

Crooks took one look around and sighed.

"Nice one, Smut," he said, "Does this look like an armory?"

"How was I to know?" said Smut. Smut was a tall, black-haired boy with dark eyes. Annie scowled at the sight of him

"Let's get out of here," said Crooks

Pintel and Ragetti came to the front of their cell.

"Wait!" said Pintel, "Don't leave us here! Take us with you!"

"Why should we?" asked Crooks

"We knew Captain Barbossa," said Ragetti

"Danny's old man?" said Smut.

Pintel nodded.

"Alright then," said Smut, "Stand back!"

Smut aimed a pistol at the lock. Ragetti and Pintel stood back. Smut fired. The lock exploded and the door swung open.

"Nice one," said Ragetti

"Fancy shooting," said Annie.

Crooks and Smut noticed Annie for the first time and grinned.

"Well, well, Annie Sparrow," said Crooks, "Your fortunes are just like your fathers."

"Pathetic," said Smut.

"Last time I checked," said Annie, "We had the same father, Smut. Just different mothers."

"Shut your mouth, Annie," said Smut, "You maybe my half sister but I won't hesitate to kill you."

He turned and left followed by Crooks, Ragetti and Pintel.

Elizabeth was pulled aboard the Blue Horizon by Seann. Perry climbed aboard after, holding Emma. Daniel came forward. He noticed Elizabeth.

"I was expecting a child," he said.

Perry stepped forward.

"Looking for this, cap'n?" he said

He put Emma down in front of Daniel, who bent down in front of her.

"Hello, sweetheart," he said, "What's your name?"

Emma looked at Elizabeth. Elizabeth nodded.

"My name is Emma Marie Turner," said Emma

"Emma?" said Daniel, "Let's see your arm."

Emma gave him her right arm. He saw the mark and traced it with a finger. He looked up at his crew, who began to whisper to one another. He stood up.

"Wyatt, take these lovely ladies to our 'guest rooms'," he said.

"Aye, captain," said Wyatt.

He took Elizabeth's arm and led her down to the brig. Seann followed with Emma.

Elizabeth was pushed into a cell with Emma. Wyatt locked the door and left. Emma began to cry.

"Hush, Emma," said Elizabeth

"I'm scared, Mama," said Emma

"What's to be scared of?" said a voice, "Free food and Daniel never comes down here."

Elizabeth looked into the cell next to her.

"Jack?" she said

Jack Sparrow appeared in the moonlight

"Hello, Lizzie," he said, grinning and showing his gold teeth.

I love Jack! I love Jack! I love Jack! Just to clear this up. Jack has two kids: Smut (Born Simon) and Annie. Annie was born in wedlock (just) and Smut is the result of a little affair Jack had going at the same time.
