Chapter Two
Lenore Turner
"Port what?" Lan asked.
"Port Royal," Lenore replied. "It was a pirate base during the 18th century. I only came here to finish my story, which was based on the setting of Port Royal. The real remains were too far for me to go to, and it's also a fishing village. Hate fish."
"Now," Lenore said, twistings her stick. "To get out of this world, all we have to do is allow everything in my story to take it's natural course. And that means to let everything happen the way I planned it to happen." Lenore sighed and pointed in the direction to the sea. A black dot was getting closer and closer. "See that dot? That's my main character: Jack Sparrow. You guys go meet him there at the port. I have to go somewhere else." Lenore handed Lan her laptop, her stick, and unstrapped her sword. "Don't lose these," Lenore said flatly.
The friends went to the port, Jack Sparrow arrived a minute later. Lan and co. could tell instantly that he was a pirate; the way he dressed, the long uncut hair.
Meanwhile, Lenore quickly came up on top of a tower. She took a deep breath and looked down. The sea was crashing against the rocks. It was quite a drop.
"Are you sure about this, Lenore?" came Light's Angel's voice from the PET.
"Yes," Lenore whispered. Then, she climbed over the wall of the tower closed her eyes and jumped.
At the port, Lan and friends were just about to talk to Jack when they saw a white flash plunging into the sea. They knew instantly that it was Lenore.
Jack Sparrow saw it too. He asked Lan, "I think that young lady was your friend. Are you going to save her?"
Lan and friends glanced at each other. All of them knew that there was no way for them to carry Lenore out of the water and come up themselves. They were kids, after all.
"Some great friends you are," Jack murmured. He took off his sword and stuffed it in Lan's already filled arms. "Don't lose that." He dived into the ocean.
Lan waited anxiously at the port. Only after a moment, Jack came up with Lenore. Lenore knew how to swim. But, she didn't expect herself to hit her head before she went down to the water. She coughed and coughed.
Lan's friends ran up to her. In Lenore's hands, was her wet PET. Since Lenore made sure a long time ago that it was waterproof, the device remained unharmed.
Lenore looked at Jack. Amazing, she thought. He looks exactly like I planned him to look like.
Jack was also staring at Lenore. But he barely murmured, "You look familiar."
There was a moment of silence. Then, the silence was aruptly broken by a rush of soldiers surrounding all of them at the port. Each soldier pointed their guns at Jack Sparrow.
Lenore stood up, and tried to wring some water out of her dress. There was a rush of soldiers. Lenore and others were quickly surrounded.
"Jack Sparrow," said the leader of the group, a tall man wearing a blue uniform. He raised his sword and pointed at Sparrow. "We meet again. And this time, you are not escaping."
"Captain...Captain Jack Sparrow," Jack murmured. "Anyways, I have to say, Norrington, you look pretty healthy,"
"Of course," Commodore Norrington replied simply. "With a pirate like you out there, there's not a night I can sleep peacefully." He turned to his men and said, "Fetch me some irons."
Lenore took the chance and stepped forth. "Commodore Norrington, I really must protest."
Norrington, for the first time looked at Lenore and the others. "And who are you?" he asked.
Lenore took a deep breath and said in an authentic English accent, "You may not know me, but you would sure know my parents. My name, is Lenore Turner."
"Turner?" Jack said, looking at Lenore. "Yes, yes, of course. How's you father these days?"
Lan once again saw the look in Lenore's eyes. Yet her voice did not betray any emotion. "He's very fine, Captain Sparrow. My father often talks about you."
"So you are Elizabeth's daughter," Norrington murmured. "Still, that cannot stop me from capturing Sparrow and send him to the gallows. He had an appointment there for some years now."
"Commodore Norrington I really must protest," Lenore said. Her fingers tightened around her PET. "I do not care what Captain Sparrow is; he saved my life."
"Miss Turner," Norrington said. "One good deed does not..."
"Very well," Lenore turned to Lan, took her sword and drew it. The sword shone brightly in the sunshine. "I'll duel you, Commodore Norrington for the freedom of my friend here. If I win, then the captain goes free."
A few people snickered. Quite a few others shook their heads. Norrington just stared at Lenore.
"Are you afraid, Commodore Norrington?" Lenore said. "Remember, I'm not bound by the laws of Port Royal. Anyways, it is only a friendly duel."
Norrington said, "Might teach you a lesson or two in respect young lady." Their swords touched, and the duel began.
Lenore whirled around, swinging her sword with precise accuratcy. She trained ever since she was five to become a skilled duelist. Plus, the fact that she was the one who invented Norrington's moves helped her to gain an upper hand.
But Lenore knew that this was not what the story was supposed to go like. She could have ended the duel in the first five seconds, but she did not. She matched every single one of Norrington's attacks. Then, she began to fake.
She retreated step by step, and finally, just allow Norrington to knock the sword out of her hand. She looked squarely at Norrington and said, "All right. You win." She picked up her sword and walked to Lan to take her stuff. "Let's go," she whispered.
Author's notes: Took me forever to do chapter two, since I keep forgetting to do it. Please review. This is my first fanfic, and I'm open to any suggestions.
