"What's taking them so long?!" Will asked, impatiently. He had been pacing the beach since Emy had left. Jack smiled at his friend, then returned to his thoughts. He had only just met Emy, but he had a lot of confidence in her.
"There is no doubt in me mind, Will, " Jack said. "that Emy is capable of fulfilling her promise to ye." Will stopped pacing and looked Jack in the eye. "And a pirate's promise, mate. Is not easily broken. She'll get your bonnie lass 'ere one way or another."
"That's what I'm afraid of." Will muttered under his breath, as he began pacing again.
Elizabeth followed Emy in the night, turning down countless dark streets. Elizabeth had prayed more than once so far, they would not get caught. Suddenly Elizabeth was pulled to the side of a building. Emy held her back and whispered, "Listen." They stood for a few moments when they heard footsteps. Then men's voices shouting Elizabeth's name.
"They know." Emy hissed. "Follow me close. We must run the rest of the way." With that, Emy grabbed Elizabeth's arm and ran back into the streets.
From where they stood, Jakc and Will could hear voices shouting Elizabeth's name.
"I'd say they've been discovered mate." Jack said. Will turned and glared daggers at Jack. Jack simply pointed over Will's shoulder. He turned to see two women running their way.
"Elizabeth!" Will cried. He ran and met Elizabeth, embracing her. Emy was convinced she would have cried had she been one to like sappy romance stories. instead she grabbed both their arms and continued running towards the small boat set to take them to safety.
"Bloody hell." Jack muttered to himself. Already he could see the lights of Elizabeth's search party. They were halfway to him when he could make out the leader in the party. "Norrington." He hissed. Jack motioned for them to hurry, and began pushing the boat into the water.
Emy pushed Will and Elizabeth into the boat and helped Jack shove off. She jumped in last grabbing an oar just as Norrington and his first few men reached the waters edge. Emy smiled to herself as she watched Jack smile and wave at the authorities.
"Gentlemen." He yelled over their shouts. "This is the day you will always remember, as the day you amost caught Captain Jack Sparrow." He had put an emphasis on the word captain, and his little speach only enraged the men further.
Slowly, the group made it to the Pearl, and immediatly set sail. Elizabeth and Will went below decks right away, obviously at home on the ship. Emy found herself a bit lost amongst the bustle of the crew, and she had lost Jack when he'd boarded.
"Ye lost mate?" A woman's voice asked from behind. Emy turned to see a dark skinned woman in long dark pants and a loose fitting shirt.
"I'm Anamaria. Jack said ye might want to change and I'm ta show ye to your quarters."
"Thanks." Emy said, smiling at the other woman. Anamaria led her across the deck into the captain's quarters.
"Jack requested ye stay 'ere." Anamaria explained to Emy's questioning look. Anamaria left the room for Emy to change. As soon as the door closed, she kicked off the slippers that were too small, and began tugging on the ends of the dress.
"Now how in bloody 'ell..." Emy was fighting with the pink dress when Jack lightly knocked and walked in. Emy gave him a scolding look as he laughed at her struggle.
"Let me 'elp ye with that, Luv." Jack said taking Emy by the shoulders and turning her back to him. Emy pulled her hands up and took the pins out of her hair, letting it cascade down her back. Jack smiled and brushed her long hair over her shoulders and began unbuttoning the dress.
The moment the last button was released Emy let the 'retched' thing fall to the floor. Quickly she stepped out of the heap of pink ruffles and began dressing in dark brown pants and a white shirt. Jack frowned and said, "Ye know woman, ye could 'ave a l'il more respect for things. That dress was me mums."
"Sorry Jack," Emy replied. "but pink and dresses and lace... just ain't my thing." As soon as Emy was dressed Jack lead her out of the room and up to the helm. Emy looked around for the first time. The vast ship was filled with men manning the sails or swabbing the deck. The sheer size of the ship astonished her. "wow." Emy muttered under her breath.
"Welcome to the Black Pearl, Luv." Jack whispered in her ear.
