Chapter 4

So Lex had made more of a mess on deck then what was necessary, she had tangled up lines, put the ship off course slightly, (she could not drive let alone steer a ship), made the deck extra slippery so those who walked on it skidded from rail to rail and when trying to peel potato skin she peeled the potato meat to. Then she had begun to annoy Jack by asking the age old question, "Are we there yet?" over and over. Jack had sent her to his cabin to wait till they had reached Port Royal.

"Just sit here and do not touch anything." Jack had said pointing to the spot on the bed where she was not to move from; Lex stuck her tongue at his retreating back. That had been around four hours ago. But so far she had been through all the maps changing courses for fun, hid all the in store rum in different places and was currently jumping on the bed trying to stay steady as the shipped moved so far she had only fallen once and knocked down some kind of porcelain bowl (which was stolen from a Transylvania princess right after Jack had slept with her). Childish her actions were Lex knew but hell if Jack was going to keep her locked up she was going to make his life hell.

Jack came tilting in to the Cabin and his eyes went dark and narrowed dangerously. Lex smiled and waved before doing a back flip off the bed.

"Are we there yet?" was the first question asked, Jack's ever moving fingers curled into fists as he sought to restrain himself from strangling the girl who had swooped in like hurricane.

"Oh yeah you mind getting me something to eat kind of hungry here after all turning your room upside down was a lot of work." Lex sat at the small table where his ruined maps were.

Jack strolled up to her and then like an old maid grabbed her by the ear and dragged her from his cabin. All the while Lex was yelling trying to pull free but to no avail Jack just pulled harder.

"Hey this is not fair…how would you feel if you had nothing to all day!" Jack choosing not to hear her words of protest dragged her all they way down to the brig, and placed her in one of the empty cells.

"But Jack this is unfair! Come on let me out." Lex whined this girl was starting to get on Jack's nerves he was seriously contemplating shoot her or at least sewing her mouth shut. But then Jack Could not sew.

"Well you won't behave, you won't listen to reason, do you know what," Jack pointed an unsteady hand at Lex with an accusatory stare. "You remind me of a friend; she too could never listen and behave."

Lex knew he was talking about Elizabeth Swann. "You sound almost wistful Jack…was she the women who got away…not very pirate like to me. Letting something go." A smirk graced Lex's lips; she fingered the braid with the beads in them.

Jack rolled his eyes and started leave when Lex started yelling. "Bloody pirate you can't leave me in here!"

"Can and just did!" Jack shouted over his shoulder and went back to issuing orders and steering the pearl.

A few hours later Jack had Gibbs go give Lex some dinner, when Gibbs returned he had a message for Jack.

"The lass wants to know if we're there yet?" Gibbs had a puzzled look on his face. Jack looked ready to shoot something.

When they arrived close to Port Royal they his they ship in a large alcove and Lex and Jack were to row ashore alone. When they reached the shore Jack realized he and lex stood out to much. With him being a wanted man and her in odd clothes and wild manor, Jack concluded a disguise would be necessary. Quickly stealing a cloak from the wash line of a civilian he handed it to Lex. She placed it on with out question of where it had been or who its previous owner was.

"So where would the books be then?" Jack asked as they walked the crowed market, Jack stealing a banana from a vendor as they walked. Lex was at a loss because she did not know what to tell Jack next.

'I need to plan out my lies better.' Lex thought as she pretended to be interested in cheap shell necklaces.

Thinking of what to do next her eyes caught the sight of a blacksmith shop, remembering the name of Turner and the fact that Elizabeth had been engaged to a blacksmith before Jack. Getting the Turner would be the best place to start; the books she realized would have to be conveniently located at the governor's place of residence. Considering this was a plan being made up on the spot Lex figured she was doing quite well. But first things first she had to get to the blacksmith.

Lucky for Lex, Jack was eyeing some vendors loot and this distraction gave Lex the chance she need to make her first escape from Captain Sparrow's watchful gaze. She quietly stepped away from Jack and soon made it the twenty feet to the Blacksmith shop.

Inside there was a bunch of metal and swords, many tools and a donkey and the place was unbelievably hot. In one corner of the shop was a sleeping drunk, dirty, fat old man and Lex came to the conclusion that he was Turner.

"Okay the woman has to be blind and brain dead to choose him over Jack." Lex said out loud. She started poking the man with a discarded sword.

"Excuse me who are you?" Lex let out a squeal and dropped the sword and turned to face another man. He was carrying a bucket of oats for the donkey and Lex decided then he must be tuner.

"You're Turner right." Lex stated. The man smiled awkwardly. Lex gave him a look over.

"Well you're not unfortunate looking…shy maybe. But how in the hell could she choose you?" Lex mused failing to notice Will's smile disappear. Lex began to look at the swords he had made.

"I beg your pardon miss but who are you?" Will asked moving closer to her.

"Someone who is going to have to break your heart but will feel a twinge of regret for it…you seem like a nice bloke." She turned to face Will giving him a dazzling smile.

Will was staring to get a bit nervous this girl was wearing the oddest clothes and spoke very strangely. Odd she reminded him of someone in looks at least.

"Well it was nice meeting you Turner." Lex skipped out leaving a very confused Will Turner to ponder what had just happened. Outside of the shop Lex giggled. Poor Turner he never stood a chance.

Jack who was running around looking for Lex like a chicken with its head cut off was relived to find her in front of the gates of the governors mansion. Jack was ready to give Lex a one way ticket to meet Davy Jones but she spoke first.

"The books are inside." Lex turned to Jack who turned to stair at the impressive home.

"How are we going to get in?" Lex said looking at the house for any sign of Elizabeth Swann. At that moment four red coat marines began to approach followed by one man in a big hat and blue coat. Jack taking notice of this quickly grabbed Lex by the forearm and led her around the back of the house. Making sure to be as quite as possible; Jack and Lex scaled the back iron fence. Seeing an open balcony window He and Lex had found their opening.
