Also you have no idea how hard it is keeping Jack in chracter, I want to show he has a soft side, I'm glade I didn't make him look like a sissy. Tough guys have feelings too! As for Jack ending up with Elizabeth, if you guys want it to happen tell me, cause I haven't decided yet. Also the request for the sword fight, are ya trying to kill me! I'm horrible at action scenes! But I will do my best, it won't be anything over complicated and amazing like in the movies, but I'll see what I can pull out of my hat.
Discaimer: I the Witch of Erie Knoll have no ownership of POTC.
Harmony was eyeing the island. She couldn't take it anymore, she had to get off this ship, away from it's memories. She stood on the rail distance from Will.She took a deep breath anddove into the water.
"HARM!" Jack called after his sister. He and Will ran to the side to see Harmony swimming to shore. "YE ARE A CRAZY WENCH! YE 'EAR ME! YE COULD 'AVE HIT THE REEF!YER CRAZY!"
"She really just dove off this boat," Will gasped. Maybe she did it to get away from me, Will thought.
"Aye she did! Crazy wench," muttered Jack. He knew Harmony was anxious to get off the boat, but she could of hit the reef. Harmony swam as fast as she could. She needed the distance between her and Will. Walking slowly onto the shore she saw the greatest sight in the world. Jackson Sparrow was walking down the shore in his lose shirt and pants. He looked like a older more mature version of Jack. Well really Jack was Jackson's clone.
"Daddy!" she screamed as she flung herself into his awaiting arms.
"I thought I heard yer splash!" he laughed. To Jackson Sparrow his family was his world, especailly his little girl.
"Course, ye know I'm not patient enough to wait for someone to nave' round the reef," Harmony laughed.
"Harm, who be navin' yer ship?" Jackson asked. That was his daughter's ship he specially made for her, he hated when she let other people navigate it.
"Oh Mr. Gibbs is," Harmony said shrugging her shoulders. "Jack and Will Turner are also on board."
"Will Turner?" Jackson asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"Yep, as in Bootstrap Bill Turner's son," Harmony said. She needed a change in topic and quick. "Melody and mom 'ere?"
"Mel is off with that captain of 'ers, and yer mom is inside the house," replied Jackson. He knew his daughter was hiding something but what? "So Jack is finally home, eh?"
"Yup," Harmony said heading towards the house.
"Better warm yer ma," Jackson called after her. He watched as the ship came closer. What ever was wrong with Harmony Jack held the answer. Jackson would get that answer from his son, none of his children could hide much from him.
"MA!" Harmony shouted as she approached the house. She was home, at her house. From the bamboo polls to the palm leaves roof, it was home. It was big enough that they all the Sparrow children had there own room, and there where plenty of room for guest. The beaded curtain that served as the front door was pushed aside, as a petite woman with long curly brown hair stepped out.
"Harmony Angel Sparrow," Victoria Sparrow said, while she tapped her foot. "What have I told you about yelling?"
"That it ain't lady like," Harmony muttered, yep she was home.
"Harmony, I expect you have not forgotten how to speak properly either." Victoria took this time to notice her daughter's appearance. "Harmony! You are wearing pants again! I'm ashamed of you! Go change this instant young lady."
"Sure ma," Harmony muttered. She went in and reluctantly put on one of her light cotton dresses.
Will looked to the shore, they where docking the boat in the Sparrow's privet docks. There had to be at least ten boats docked, including the Black Pearl. But the strange thing was the older version of Jack standingon the dock.
"Ahoy father," Jack called out.
"Ahoy son," Jackson replied smiling at his son. "Yer ma is home, an she is still sore bout the weddin'."
"What," Jack gasped. "If'n Harm forgave me for it then she should!"
"Aye, but ma says ye blown Harm's only chance to settle down an marry."
"Fah, maybe Harm doesn't need to marry!" Jack replied. Will was readying the boat to be dock, and Jackson helped from the dock. Jack hopped off the boat. "In fact I'm gonna talk to ma bout it now."
Jack headed down to the house. He had a plan now, he was going to hint at his mom about a possibility of Harmony and Will likening each other. Then she will play match maker. If Will still had doubts after that, Jack could just slap him around a few times. Either way Harmony would come out on top, without a heart break.
"MA!" Jack yelled at the house. Victoria came out of her house.
"Jackson Michael Sparrow Junior!" Victoria said in a very stern voice. "What have I told you about yelling!"
"Um not to do it," Jack replied scratching his head. He forgot how stern his mother was about her children acting proper.
"You look like the tide dragged you in," Victoria replied, glaring at her son. "I shouldn't allow you back into my home after what you did to Harmony."
"Ye mean savin' me from a loveless marriage?" Harmony said pushing her way past her mother. Harmony cringed as Jack held back a giggle at the site of her in a dress. "Shut up Jack!"
"Proper speech, Harmony," Victoria sighed.
"One thing ma," Harmony smiled. She had found something interesting in Tortuga, and now was the time to revile it. "One eyed Vicky."
"What did you say," Victoria gasped.
"One eyed Vicky," Harmony had a victory grinned. She looked to Jack who had a blank look on his face. "The dreaded female pirate, before me and Jack's time that could make any mans blood freeze. Seems me and you aren't different as we appear, ma."
"Ye think ma in One eyed Vicky!" Jack gaped, didn't Harmony know?
"She was a legend who disappeared years ago. It makes sense. All the descriptions from old sailors equals up to ma's and the biggest clue was she disappeared the year ye were born Jack. Seems mommy was a pirate."
"Bout time you figured that out," Victoria sighed. "How many days have you spent on that vile port."
"Wait!" Harmony gasped dropping her jaw. "Ye wanted me ta know?"
"Honey, it was no big secret there One eyed Vicky was blue beard's daughter," Victoria shook her head. "I thought you would have known by now."
"Hold on! Ye bad mouth me and Jack bout being pirates when ye were one!"
"Harmony dear, that life style was nothing I wanted for my children, but you two just had to follow family tradition."
"Damn right I did!" Harmony spat as she stormed away. Jack looked at his mother.
"Ye never told her bout yer past?" Jack gaped at his mother. When Jack had said he wanted to be a pirate she had told him about One eyed Vicky.
"Of course I didn't," she sighed. "It would only made Harmony more determined to be a pirate."
"Right," Jack said staring at his mother. On better thought forget the plan. Harmony was mad enough at their mother. "I'm gonna go back to the ship now."
"I'm coming with you," Victoria said heading towards the docks. "I'm sure your father will be inspecting every inch of Harmony's ship."
Harmony ran to the docks. Her father and Will were finishing tying the ship to the dock and Gibbs was stretching his arms.
"Harm, what's wrong?" Jackson asked her, noticing her distress.
"What's wrong is ma is the biggest hippocratic in the world!" she hissed. "I don't even know why I bothered coming back. Don't bother tying my boat up I'm going back to Tortuga!"
Will just stared at her. There wasn't anything he could say to her. He couldn't comfort her, she wasn't his. Seeing her in distress was killing him, he just couldn't do a damn thing.
"Harm, drowning yerself in rum will not fix anything between ye and yer ma," Jackson sighed.
"No, but it 'elps," Harmony sighed.
"Harmony," Victoria hissed at her daughter. "Don't think you are evergoing back to that place of filth!"
"Oh if I remember correctly, One eyed Vicky has a bigger badder rep then me," Harmony spat at her mother. "At least I didn' sleep wit half the island! Yer jus' as bad as Giselle! In fact I think ye 'ave slept wit more men then Giselle could ever 'ope ta!"
"Don't you dare talk to me that way," Victoria said, making her voice as cold as ice. "I'm your mother and deserve respect, plus it wasn't that many."
"Um hello! Husband right here! Don't need to here this!" Jackson yelled. He knew his wife had a reputation as a pirate but he didn't want to hear it. He saw Will and Gibbs staring at the two Sparrow women battling. He walked over to them. "Let's go, Jack can handle this."
He pulled the two men away from the dock. Jack glared at his father, somehow he got stuck with the two arguing women. He would get his father back later for this one.
"Ladies, can we stop this?" Jack interrupted them.
"Fine Jack! I hate you ma! You you Hippocratic!" Harmony turned to storm away.
"Oh no!" Victoria said grabbing her daughter's wrist. "You are not going to have the last word this time. You will go back to your room, get over it, and be present at dinner! Now go." Harmony glared at her mother and left for the house. "Jack don't say it!"
"But ye were too 'arsh on 'er," Jack said standing up to his mother. "An I don' agree wit what ye did."
He walked away from his mother, getting the last word. Victoria threw her hands up in defeat and went to go make dinner. Jackson was walking with Will on the beach, Gibbs had gone to the house to catch up on some sleep before dinner.
"So Will," Jackson sighed. He wouldn't get a chance to talk to Jack for a bit, so his only hope was the Will knew what was wrong with his daughter. "What happened at sea?"
Will told Jackson what had happened, but omitted kissing scenes and feeling talks. Jackson knew the half truth when he heard it, he just needed to put two and two together and he would have his answer. What could Will have left out to make Harmony jump ship and so sad, and he knew she was sad, even though she covered it up well. She hadn't been this sad since Louis left her. Then it hit him.
"Oh great sea gods!" Jackson said stopping in his tracks. He stared at Will who turned around to see why Jackson had stop. "She's in love with ye!"
"What?" Will gasped. How could Jackson have known. Will wasn't even sure it was true.
"Do ye love 'er? Tell the truth boy!"
"I do," Will said, he couldn't deny it anymore. He had fallen for Harmony and fallen hard. "But she rejected me."
"Doesn't matter," Jackson said. "She is jus' like 'er mother, more then either cares to admit. An to win Victoria's 'eart, I had to give 'er the world."
"How did you do that?" Will asked him.
"I swept 'er away from Tortuga, fought any and every man for her affection, and promised to love 'er forever."
"I guess I've blown it," Will sighed. They haven't spoken in awhile. She would never return his affection now. Jackson hit Will on top of the head.
"If'n 'er 'eart is still beaten, ye has a shot," Jackson glared at Will. "Stop being a coward and fight for her!"
We will be staying on the island for one more chapter. Next chapter Will tries to convice Harmony to go with them on the Pearl and I'm not sure what else. My muses seem to be hiding the scense from me. I must have change this chapter thirty times. -sigh- Anywho Review, comment, ask questions, make request, or beat me wit a pole! Till next time!
