Pirates of the Caribbean:

The Legend of the Alchemist

Chapter 2

As EvanLee strode through the dingy town of Tortuga she realized many of the pirates recognized who she was. She smiled to herself. She was glad that so many recognized who she was partially cause she liked the fame but also partially because men here would confront women in the streets and she would rather not call too much attention to herself at the time. They should know that she was there and nothing else.

EvanLee stopped in front of a weapon shop. She glanced up to see the sign of a sparrow and the letters across reading: Jack Sparrows' Weapons' EvanLee scowled at the title, if it were not for the beautiful weapons in the window she would have left rather than enter the dingy old shop. But enter she did and hate the boy that owned the shop she did too.

"Well… Hello." EvanLee spun around to detect where he spoke. It was Jack Sparrow and she knew it. She had heard that voice before. But the speaker of the voice was not who she thought it was, though he was just as arrogant.

"I never expected to see one as pretty as ye'self in me shop." the boy said grinning. She couldn't believe that it was actually the boy talking to her. She was hearing the exact words in the exact tongue as if Jack Sparrow owned this shop and were speaking to her right now.

"Who be ye?" she asked apprehensively

"I don't know, who be ye?" she shook her head it was as if she was talking to the actual sparrow.

"Don't ya be playin' no games with me boy. Do ya know who I be?" she saw a flicker of fear in the boy's eyes. "Now tell me who ye be or I'll cut ya throat." she said pushing the famous blade that she and her sisters were known for, the ones that had lady EvanLee and Captain Joselyn engraved on them.

"J-Jack S-Sparrow." the boy stammered. EvanLee dropped her blade, something she was sworn not to do. Both she and the boy watched as the blade clattered to the floor revealing the engraved message. The boy looked up at her startled,

"Y-Ye Lady EvanLee?" he said his voice quavering his face turning white. EvanLee tuned him out and carefully picked up the beautiful blade that she polished every night. Somehow now holding it in her hand it seemed unclean. She couldn't believe she had actually dropped it. Never was it to touch the foor, and she had dropped it just because she was startled? What kind of a pirate was she if she was startled so easily? So many questions swarmed in her head untill they all led up to who the boy really was. Anger surged at this boy, this boy pretending to be Jack Sparrow, this boy that had made her drop her sacred blade, it was all his fault! His fault! The words surged through her head, his fault, his fault, his fault! She launched at the boy pushing him against a wall the knife digging into his neck.

"Tell me the truth!" she screamed at the boy as a pinprick of red smeared on the boy's neck.

"I-I'm Jack sparrow!" the boy screamed out hoarsely.

"No yer not! Yer some lousy good fer nothin' kid! You act like yer some great pirate and ye aint! Ye aint no Jack Sparrow!"

"YES I AM!" the boy screamed grabbing the hand with the blade in it and trying to force it off. EvanLee stepped back staring angrily at the boy. He rubbed his neck gingerly.

"Please." gasped the boy weakly. "let me explain."

"two minutes."

"Captain Kauri Jones is my mother…"

"Kauri!" Captain Kauri Jones was another female pirate that was trying to get fame with her ship The Mutiny and she managed to escape damaged but not necessarily harmed every battle. Kauri had become their enemy cause she was just as dangerous as they were just not known.

"Y-Yes. Kauri was my mother though I do not remember her. She left me when I was two." He said she recognized a scowl on his face and a bitterness in his tone. She grinned to herself maybe she could work with this.

"She had an affair with Captain Jack Sparrow, and accidentally had me. I was named aft my father. Now there" he said smiling. " was that under two minutes?" EvanLee grinned at Jack.

"So Jack." she examined him carefully circling him. He did resemble his father quite extraordinarily. if you took out the beard and the dreads with all the little baubles in it you would have this boy, with the almost same face, same twinkling eyes, same smile. This boy with the dark scraggly brown hair short in front getting longer in the back. "How old are ye?"

"eighteen." younger than she expected.

"Very well then how would ya like to be a real pirate?" she asked grinning all her anger forgotten. She liked this boy she decided, now that she thought about it he was rather handsome in his own way.

"I could train you to be just as fierce as your father." she saw excitement in the boys eyes.

"Is there anyone as pretty as ye on The Alchemist?"

"Me sister, but ye better not be getting' any ideas. Now come on. And bring yer weapons. Tonight ye meet Captain Joselyn."
