Another chapter. Oh I forgot to put a disclaimer on the last chapter so the one I put on here will have to count for both.
Disclaimer: Sadly I only own Amelia
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Amelia, there you are." Amelia turned to see her father standing there with Norrington. Norrington looked so relieved to see her. She started to walk to them but they came to her.
"Where is Elizabeth?" her father asked.
"P-pirates took her." She said she wasn't feeling well around her stomach but she couldn't remember why. 'Oh that damn corset.' She groaned in her thoughts.
"W-well we shall have to get a search party ready. But for now, Amelia, we need to get you cleaned up." Amelia agreed with her father. He hailed a carriage they climbed inside. They dropped Norrington off at the battlements to get people and stuff. When they got home, Amelia was sent strait into a bath. Her wound was treated and all the grime and dirt was washed off of her. Amelia dressed in a plain comfortable dress. She wouldn't let anyone help her but after awhile she managed it.
"Amelia, I'm going down to town to talk with Commodore Norrington about Elizabeth. Will you be alright?" her father asked.
"Yes." She said. Gov. Swann left and Amelia thought 'Time to put my plan into action.' She told the servants in the house that she didn't want to be disturbed and she ruffled around her room. She found some men's clothes. She slipped out of her dress and put on the clothes as fast as she could. She put on a white shirt with a black vest and her pants were a faded brown. She pulled on boots and put her waist length brown curly hair up in the blue scarf she had. She put a hat on top of the scarf. She had hidden these clothes years ago so they were tight on her. They showed off her curves. She bent down on the floor and moved the carpet. She pulled out a loose floorboard and found a pistol there. She put it in her belt and opened her window. There was a tree right next to it so she jumped onto the tree and climbed in the backyard. 'I have to find Will.' She thought as she ran down to town.
She saw Will talking with Norrington and her Father. She kept her distance because she didn't want them recognizing her. She couldn't hear what they were saying but suddenly Will buried his hatchet in Norrington's map. Norrington said something and gave Will back the hatchet. Will started to angrily walk away so she ran to catch up with him.
"Will!" he turned around and looked at her.
"Amelia?" he asked.
"Yes!"
"Why are you in men's clothes?"
"I'm going to save my sister. Will you help me?"
"I will."
"How will we find her?" she asked realizing she knew nothing about these things.
"We ask Jack Sparrow."
"Him? Why?"
"He knows of the ship."
"Well we better hurry then." They hurriedly made their way back to the gallows.
They found Jack lying on the hay in his cell.
"Knew you couldn't stay away." He said to Amelia. She blushed a light pink but said nothing.
"You, Sparrow." Will said.
"Aye."
"You are familiar with that ship? The Black Pearl?"
"I've heard of it."
"Where does it make birth?"
"Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta . It's an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is."
"The ship's real enough. Therefore its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?"
"And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?"
"Never!" Will was silent but then he said "they took Miss Swann."
"Oh, so it is that you've found a girl. I see. Well, if you're intending to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady's heart you'll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me."
"I can get you out of here."
"I helped build these cells. These are half pin-barrel hinges. With the right leverage and the proper application of strength? The door will lift free." Will said as he picked up a bench and placed it at the bottom of the cell.
"What's your name?" Jack asked.
"Will Turner."
"That will be short for William, I imagine. Good, strong name. No doubt, named for your father, eh?"
"Yes." Will said skeptically.
"Uh-huh. Well, Mr. Turner , I've changed me mind. If you spring me from this cell I swear on pain of death I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an accord?"
"Agreed." Will said as he and Jack shook hands.
"Agreed. Get me out." Will lifted the door open.
"Someone will have heard that… Someone's coming we have to go!" Amelia said. She was acting as a look out.
"What are you doing here?" Jack asked.
"No time to explain. We must go!" Amelia said as she ran with Will to the other exit.
"Not without my effects." Jack said grabbing them and following.
They made their way down to the docks and hid.
"We're going to steal the ship. That ship?" Will asked as he saw the Dauntless.
"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term. One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going. This girl ? how far are you willing to go to save her?" Jack asked Will.
"I'd die for her."
"And you, Miss Amelia?"
"Would you ever leave a family member to die?" she asked with her eyebrow raised.
"Ill take that as a yes. Oh good, no worries then." Jack said. All three hid under a small lifeboat and walked into the water. There was air trapped under the boat, which was upturned, so they were able to breathe. The water stung Amelia's wound but she took no notice.
"This is either madness or brilliance." Will remarked as they made their way over to the ship.
"It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." Jack replied. The reached the ship and they went up tot the surface. They climbed up the back of the ship and past the helm. Amelia pointed her gun at the few soldiers on the ship as will pointed his sword.
"Everyone stay calm! we are taking over the ship."
"Aye! Avast!" Amelia gave will a funny look when he said that. The soldiers laughed.
"This ship cannot be crewed by two men. You'll never make it out of the bay." Gillette said. Jack pointed his gun at Gillette's nose.
"Son? I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?" They made all the soldiers file onto a rowboat and set them off. The Dauntless moved forward and Amelia asked as she put her hair down
"Shouldn't we disable the rudder chain?"
"Good idea, Lass. Will, get to it."
"Commodore!" Norrington looked away from supervising the provisions being put on the ship to see Gillette and some soldiers on a rowboat.
"Sir, they've taken the Dauntless. They've taken the ship. Sparrow and Turner and some other man - they've taken the Dauntless." Gillette yelled waving his arms to get their attention. Norrington looked through a spyglass to see Jack and Will, but he didn't see anyone else. Suddenly Amelia popped up from tying something down.
"Amelia… Turner must have gotten her into this. Rash, Turner, very rash. That is without doubt the worst pirate I have ever seen." Norrington put the spyglass down.
"Here they come." Will said when he noticed that the Interceptorhad set sail. It was coming towards them. They all hid as the Interceptor came on their side. Jack put an arm around her waist. She would have protested but they needed to be quiet. Norrington and his men boarded the ship.
"Find Miss Swann and you will get a bonus to your pay. Search every cabin, every hold, down to the bilges." Norrington ordered his men. Jack grinned at her and she glared at him. They grabbed some hanging rope and swung onto the Interceptor. Will used his hatchet to cut the ropes and the ship surged forward. Norrington noticed as the gangplanks fell away.
"Sailors, back to the Interceptor! Now!" he yelled. The sailors try but they are too late.
"Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make way. We'd have had a hard time of it by ourselves." Jack yelled giving a smirk. They heard Norrington yell for the long nines.
"They're gonna try to fire at us." Amelia giggled. Jack smirked and waved farewell to the Dauntless as they sailed into the open sea.
