Seeking Elizabeth's Consultation
As the Black Pearl turned into the cove, Tortuga came into view. Anamaria was very excited to see it, although she had only been gone a grad total of three weeks. Jack just steered the Pearl with a long look on his face. He didn't want Anamaria to leave, but he knew it was what she wanted.
They anchored the Pearl a ways away from the shore so as not to attract attention. Then, they got into the small row boats. Jack had decided earlier he would take no one to Port Royal. He would have them stay in Tortuga and when he was done in Port Royal he would pick them back up.
Before Anamaria got into a smaller boat, Jack pulled her aside, into his cabin.
"Anamaria, ye sure this is what ya want ta do?"
"Jack, I'm positive. I miss Tortuga."
"Alright, if it's the right thing-"
"Yes, Jack, now can I go to the boats?"
"Aye," he said as he watched her walk out, sad she was really leaving.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jack went with them, onto the island, and told them of his plans. They agreed that would be best. He said his good-byes to the crew and then walked into The Faithful Bride for a drink - rum of course.
After about three rums, Jack decided it was time to make way to Port Royal.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jack wasn't a stupid man (or should I say pirate?). He decided to rent a boat, hoping there was someplace he could do so. At that moment he saw a place. It wasn't really a "boat rental" place, but someone's boat tied to the dock. "I'll just pay them to let me use their boat. Not as big as a ship, but she'll do" he thought to himself.
He went to the dock, and to Jack's amazement, someone was standing next to the boat he wanted to use. He walked up to the WOMAN and said, "Hello luv."
"Startled, the woman turned around, looked Jack straight in the eyes, and said, "Hello mate."
"Luv, do you think I could borrow your boat? I'd pay ya."
"Will ye bring her back?"
"Yes, luv, I would. Previous experiences-," at this he paused, thinking of the two slaps he got from Anamaria for not bringing her boat back.
"Previous experiences?" the woman asked.
"Yes, previous experiences of not bringing boats back, that hurt. Long story."
"I'd like five schillings for you to borrow."
"No problem, luv. I'll bring her back in a few days' time." At these words he hopped in the boat, untied it, and was off for Port Royal.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Jack arrived in Port Royal a day later. Thankfully the boat wasn't sinking this time. He paused and chuckled about that time five weeks ago when he arrived at this same port in a sinking boat.
He knew he had to be careful. After all, everyone in Port Royal was looking for him. He went to the dock, paid the dock man, and walked into town.
Since it was the middle of the day, he went to the blacksmith shop - knowing Will would be there. "I really hope Mr. Brown is asleep. I don't really want another crack to my head," Jack thought to himself.
"When he reached the shop, he knocked on the door. No on answered, so Jack knocked again. The door opened and a very surprised William Turner looked back at Captain Jack.
"Ahoy, Will," Jack said. Will didn't reply. Jack tried again. "Ahoy, Will." Still no reply, so Jack said, "Well, you know who I am and you can't be too surprised I'm here. Ye knew it was coming. Can I come in though?" Then he added, with a shrug, "All of Port Royal is looking for me."
"Yes, Jack, please come in," Will finally responded.
"You don't have ta be so proper around a pirate, ya know," Jack said as he walked passed Will. Will just shrugged.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Well, Jack, how have you been?"
"Dandy, thank you. I know you want to ask all of these questions about my whereabouts, but I'm on a slight mission."
"And what would that be?" Will asked, afraid it would involve commandeering a ship of the fleet, Tortuga, whores, and pirates.
"Nothing of the sort of what you're thinking of," Jack responded, reading Will's face.
"How did-?"
"I'm a pirate. On with my mission. I need to speak with Elizabeth."
"Why can't you just speak with me? You know Elizabeth love ya, but she's sick of pirates."
"Oh, so she's sick of you too then?"
"I'm not a pirate. When would you like to speak with her?" Will replied. He then added with very wide eyes, "And where?"
"What?! Don't you have a house yet?"
"Yes, we do. So you want to talk to her there? How's tonight?"
"Sound good ta me."

YAY! Another update. I'm so sorry it took me so long. I had a ton of homework this week. I was only writing bits and pieces at a time. I finally took the time today to finish the chapter. I really hope you like it. Please read and review!
Ah! I almost forgot! Please, if you get the chance go and read the fiction called "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Jewel of Deception" by DemonicLittleGirl. It's really good and nice and long! I wonder when it's going to end?! Anyways, go and read that.
