Misty's Point of View

(VERY important author's note at the end of this chapter)

Disclaimer: I own nothing, sadly, I'm a poor girl, don't sue me. No money is made in the making of this fiction.


I looked over at Tessi, I knew she was probably upset, Jack talking about the opportune moment, he's had a bunch of moments to tell Tessi he loved her; she's had plenty of moments to tell him she loved him, but neither would. I look over at Will, he won't make eye contact with me, I know he's still upset with me, I'm still mad at him, for not trusting Jack. I sighed, it was weird, I was able to think about 2005 now and not feel sad, all I felt sad about now, was going home, going away from the adventure of a lifetime that I had just come to realize; I enjoyed.

I enjoyed the bantering between Jack and Tessi, I enjoyed hearing Gibb's stories, even if some of them weren't true, I enjoyed the crew and the ship work, I enjoyed Elizabeth and Tessi, I enjoyed the sea; but most of all I enjoyed the freedom. We slowly neared the Dauntless the very place we had worked so hard to escape. Dread filled my heart, I felt a knot in the pit of my stomach, and Tessi wasn't saying anything nor was Elizabeth. I wondered what they were thinking, and if they were just as sick to go back to a life, we had all always hated.

If it was one thing we had in common, it was that we hated living with our Father, even if Elizabeth was doted on, she hated it. In fact it was probably harder, he probably didn't notice too many of mine and Tessi's mistakes, but more of Elizabeth's. She was expected to be perfect, and to not make one mistake. It was something Tessi and I were guilty of looking over. Jack was adorned in jewels and gold, he was quiet; he wasn't saying anything Jack Sparrowish. Which made me even more depressed, I looked over at him, "You're a good man Jack." I said softly, as we got nearer and nearer to the ship.

Jack looked over and smiled somewhat, but I could tell there was sadness in his eyes, "Thank you love," he said simply, he didn't say anymore, Will pulled up to the ship and we heard the soldier's cheering as they had won over the cursed pirates, "Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!" Was the sound, I would be lying if I said I felt that happy, I was miserable.

Our father walked over to the edge of the ship and peeked over, he had a stern look on his face, he motioned for some soldier's and they slowly got us up to the ship one by one, not only were we not in dresses and in soldier outfits, but we were dirty, and we had escaped; this probably put him, in a horrible mood. "Take them to Norrington's cabin I'll be there in a moment." He said to Nicholas, who looked just as miserable.

Nicholas nodded, "Yes sir." He led us to the cabin, but not without Jack having to be shackled, he was put down in the brig, while the rest of us went to Norrington's cabin, which was now even more in disarray since we had left.

"I'm sorry." Nicholas said casting a glance at me, his brown eyes pouring into mine, I smiled weakly as I made myself comfortable on the bed, he shut the door quietly, and left, Tessi hadn't said a word, she wouldn't even look at anyone.

"What do you think he'll do?" I asked, trying to make conversation.

Elizabeth shrugged, "I can't say he'll be easy, we all did make him look bad, I guess." She stated softly, almost as if she couldn't believe she was saying the words.

Tessi huffed, "Bull shit. He didn't need our help to look like an ass, and you both know it." She said harshly, however Elizabeth and I knew at this moment Tessi was in a foul mood, I decided not to push it.

A few moments later, our father walked in, a scowl on his face. His hands were clasped behind his back, and he stood like a statue; looking down on us all as if we were poor children, vermin. "I am astounded!" He started harshly, "I have taught you right from wrong," He started, "I have been a great father," I looked over at Tessi; I knew she was upset when she had no retort.

He continued on, "Gave you food, clothes, a roof over you're head, good lives and all I ask is that you behave and you can't? At this moment, I'm very disappointed in you I don't ever want it to happen again. We will arrive in Port Royal tonight, in one day's time Jack Sparrow will be hanged, I want no trouble whatsoever!" He scolded, I laughed inside, and did he really expect us not to cause trouble?

We all exchanged small smirks as he continued, "As for you William Turner, I shall grant you clemency only because you went to great lengths to save my daughter." He said.

Will nodded and swallowed hard as if swallowing his pride; "Thank you Sir." He stated quietly.

Our father nodded, "Goodnight." He said, walking out, locking us in the cabin once again, neither of us screamed, carried on or attempted to get out. At this moment, I thought about what we did, and I was feeling quite childish. I tried to remember, but I couldn't remember one thing about 2005.

I couldn't remember my so called father, bullies or any friends, I couldn't remember the school or how we got here. It was sad, yet happy. I had finally come to terms that we belonged in the 1600's, that we never belonged in 2005; and for once I was okay with that.

Elizabeth, Tessi and I curled up on the bed, it was cramped but it would do, we had pulled the sheets off, due to the wine, Will just lay on the floor, right now we were too tired to care. An hour later Gillette came in, "Ladies, wake up." He said standing over us, I yawned a little.

Gillette looked over the girls, but Tessi caught his eyes, she had grown since the last time he really saw her, into a beautiful woman. He smiled slightly, as the girls all sat up, Elizabeth and I walked out, Tessi was a little slower. Gillette grabbed her arm, "You've grown." He said smiling.

Tessi looked at him with disgust, she pulled her arm away, "Get out of my face, months ago you thought I was a fool." She stated.

He shrugged, "You still are, but things can be changed." He stated, "I can form you into the lady you need to be." He replied.

"Over my dead body soldier," She stated laughing, "You're below me." She said smoothly.

He scowled, "And I suppose, Jack Sparrow is perfect?"

Tessi shrugged, "Maybe…" she trailed off, staring at him, a few minutes later, she walked past and found Elizabeth and I looking out at the nearing town of Port Royal; like us she felt dread of arriving to that old, and horrible life.

"Drop anchor!" Yelled a sailor, they all quickly set to work, and in no time, we were in a boat, and soon we were in a carriage and heading to the Swann Manor. The last time I, Tessi and Elizabeth had seen the Port it was in shambles due to the Pirate attack, but everything was back to normal.

Everything was back to how it was, the signs and windows repaired; people back to their daily routines, the carriage pulled up and we got out and walked inside, our maid; Estrella ran up to us smiling, "Oh girls! I was worried about you, thank goodness you're safe!" She said hugging us all.

"Take them to bed Estrella." Our father stated coldly, Estrella nodded in understanding.

We walked up the stairs Estrella talking to us, neither of us listening, we all entered our rooms, and were put into our nightgowns, back to the same routine of not being able to do anything our selves.

"Goodnight girls." Estrella said closing the door, it was quiet, we heard the soft crashing of the waves, it was weird to be in a bed again, it was actually uncomfortable for me, it was too soft almost, and I had gotten so use to sleeping on hammocks most of the time.

I turned to my right, "Tessi?" I asked softly.

I heard her shift, "Hmm?" She responded.

"You okay?" She asked.

I saw her silhouette shrug, "I'm fine Misty, let's just go to sleep, I'm tired." She said, I didn't say anything more, and soon I gave into sleep and fell into a dreamless slumber, however Tessi did not.

Tessi saw a storm, it was raging, she saw shadows of people a woman scream, "ABANDON SHIP!" She saw the shadows jump into the water, it flashed again, there was a chest of some sort, she was underwater, there was a flash and a horrific image of a man appeared, gold, able to breathe under water, "Swann" was uttered, "Swann's…" Again the name…

Tessi was moving around in her sleep caught in her sheets, and moaning, she woke up with a start she looked over and saw that I was still asleep. She sat up breathing heavily, the dream had been so weird so real, so…scary, it perked her interest, just as she calmed down, Estrella came in, "Time to wake up!" She said happily, whipping open the shades.

I groaned as Estrella pulled back my blankets, and when that didn't work she pulled my pillows out from under my head. I had really gotten use to sleeping in late. I reluctantly got up I yawned and rubbed my eyes, "Early." I muttered.

Estrella laughed a little and pulled me behind a shade, and started to get me into a corset and a dress. This woke me up, "A dress?" I asked, "They hurt I haven't worn one in ages!" I complained.

"Now, now, it's proper of a lady." She stated pulling hard making me feel like my eyes had bulged out of my eye sockets, she quickly laced it up, much noise was heard from me, such as curses, groans and whines, "You're a grown woman, Miss Swann, don't whine." She said in a motherly tone.

She slipped on a dress, it was a light sea blue, the sleeves went to my elbows, and a little fabric hanged down past, they were ruffled, there was a small 'V' line at the bottom where the skirt started and flowed to the floor, the top was like a double corset, it was square and showed a little bit of cleavage. At the back around my waist was a bow tied in the back, the strings were long and hung down. She ushered me over to the vanity as the other maid put Tessi's on.

Estrella had my hair up in a bun, but she had ringlets hanging down around my face, she then added a sapphire necklace that was in a teardrop shape, and was so long it fell into my cleavage making me feel really uncomfortable. As she put my hair up, she would continually tell me to, 'keep it still' so she could finish up. Yet, if I fought against her, I felt like my face was being pulled along with it, finally she was done, and it was Tessi's turn, "Ha. Have fun, Tessi darling." I teased.

Tessi rolled her eyes, "Oh shut up you big blue… thing." She replied smiling a little, which for some reason brought my spirits up. Tessi wore a forest green dress, the sleeves where long and hung a little past her hands, it was a flowing dress, and a tad bit lighter then mine. The top covered more in a 'v' shape, the skirt half at the bottom was bunched up and bows were tied into it, along with some white heels. She was given an emerald necklace to match, her hair done the same as mine. "Ow." I heard as Estrella began pulling and tugging. A while later she was finished and we walked down below, and sat down at the table for breakfast, as our father looked over and smiled, "Good Morning." He said.

I shrugged, as one of the servants handed me a plate, it had a small portion on it, Tessi, I and Elizabeth looked at each other and groaned, we had grown accustomed to eating larger portions, "Anyway," Our father began, "As I was saying." He said.

I smirked, and copied him when he wasn't looking, I sat up straighter crinkled up my face and made myself look like a fish and whispered, "As I was saying, I'm a big retarded Fish." I sniggered, making Elizabeth and Tessi laugh.

"And to prove I'm a fish look at my wrinkly and somewhat scale-y face, I might as well say I'm an old prune." Tessi laughed.

"Nice!" I muttered catching the rest of my father's conversation, "I'm having Nicholas Willows removed from the Navy, I want him imprisoned," I nearly choked on my food; but kept quiet in fear he would stop, "Fought with me last night, saying I shouldn't be locking the girls up. Who is he to say anyway? What they need is a good licking." He finished whispering.

Anger boiled up inside, I tried to count however it didn't work, anger was overtaking my willpower, I had always had a problem with my anger.

I stood up angrily, "How dare you imprison him!" I said, Tessi and Elizabeth both looked down, it was going to be war in Swann Manor, "He's done nothing to you, you poor excuse for a Father!" I yelled.

My father stood up, "How dare you talk to me like that! What I do with the Navy is no concern of yours! Go to you're room!" He roared, the man he was talking with seemed a little annoyed at this.

I looked at him my chest heaving up and down, "I hate you!" I screamed, "I won't go to my room!" I pushed the chair away and ran out the front door, in anger, I had had it. Who was he to judge anyone? He had problems of his own. I stalked down the dirt path, my hair swaying, people looking at me oddly, some annoyed at how I was acting. I didn't give a damn, I hated being here. I didn't want to come back; I couldn't stand it here, the stuck up ass holes and my father, it just made things worse.

Meanwhile during the fight Tessi scooped her food into her napkin and ran out the door with me, I looked over at her and was about to say something but I saw her napkin was full of something, "What's that?" I asked slowing down a little.

"Let's go visit Jack, its food. They usually give prisoner's dry bread and distilled water." She said dryly.

I shrugged, "Sure." I sighed heavily, what if he was imprisoned? Father had such a grip on the town that he could nearly persuade them to do anything. I hadn't even told Nicholas what I felt.

Tessi didn't seem to know what to say, we found the cells, and walked below, telling the guard to leave us for a moment, there sat Jack in a damp cell looking really depressed, I could almost hear Tessi's heart break.

We both ran over, "Jack!" We said, he looked up and smiled, getting up off his ledge, "I knew you couldn't resist ol' Jack." He said laughing, as Tessi stuck the napkin through the bars. Jack took it and opened it up eating it hungrily.

"We hate our father," I said, "We have to get you out, and we have to get away from Port Royal." I finished.

Jack laughed, "One day back, and you already want to come back with Captain Jack Sparrow." He laughed.

"Don't talk to yourself in the third person, it's creepy." Tessi replied, frowning a little, and rolling her eyes.

"But I'm-"

We both huffed, "We know! Captain Jack Sparrow." We said together at the same time, we looked at each other and shook our heads.

Jack grinned, "You're catching on." He replied.

"It was sarcasm…" Tessi said, "Something you are very familiar with…" She said as they heard footsteps, they turned to see Will.

He stopped, "Oh," He said.

"Come down," Tessi said smiling motioning for him to come down and visit with Jack as well.

He looked over at me, and looked away, "Oh for god sakes, would you two make up? I can't even be in the same bloody room with you two!" She yelled.

She grabbed my arm, walked over and pushed both Will and I out, "Make up, or feel the wrath of moi." She said glaring walking back down.

We stood and stared at each other, Will had his hands in his pockets looking down, "Will, I'm sorry. I don't hate you…"

Will shrugged, "Then why the hell did you say it?" He asked harshly.

I glared, "Because, you couldn't trust Jack because of you're hate for pirates, well not everyone is like Barbossa and his crew, I'm sorry I said I hate you, but I'm not sorry I trusted Jack and stayed behind."

Will huffed, "It got me in trouble with you're sister." He yelled making people looking, I turned and flipped them off; one woman covered her child's eyes.

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, well she cares okay? She loves Jack, and we're sisters, we worry about each other, its common sense."

He sighed, "Can we just stop fighting you make me feel stupid sometimes." He said rather brashly, I stood there for a moment looking at him. Did I really treat him like he was stupid?

I shifted, "Oh…" I said.

"Oh." He mimicked.

I smiled a little, "Jack's right, you're on you're way to becoming a pirate." I said laughing a little; it was something Jack would do, mimicking people.

He smiled, "I guess so…so… we are friends…are we not?" He asked nervously, scratching the back of his head.

I smiled and nodded, "Aye, we are." I laughed, we both finally walked down to see Jack and Tessi making eyes at each other, "Get a room." I muttered.

"I've got a plan, to help Jack escape." She said, ignoring my comment, she looked excited.

"YAY!" I said jumping up and down, "Give me a T, give me an E, give me a double S, give me an I, what does that spell? TESSI!" I said doing a little dance, I felt hyper at the moment.

They all blinked at me, "Sorry," I muttered, "Random moment there." They all went on, Tessi beckoned Will and I near, we all crouched down, and Tessi whispered the plan, "THAT'S AWESOME!" I said.

Will winced, "That was my ear, Misty," He said rubbing it.

"Oh, sorry," I said, "Anyway sounds good." I replied, straightening up.

Jack nodded, "Good, and if I escape…" He trailed off.

"When you escape…" Tessi corrected.

Jack nodded, "When I escape, I'll come back in two weeks for you all, and Nicholas if you want." He nodded, "I just hope, I can find the Pearl."

We sighed quietly and a while after that, we left. The rest of the day was pretty uneventfully boring, Elizabeth and I talked, and I found, I really did love my annoying younger sister, and so did she; even if we had denied it the whole eighteen years of our lives. I went to bed nervous that night, I had a dreamless sleep, all that was on my mind was if it was going to work and if Will would be able to pull it off.

Yet, I also wondered about Nicholas, was he okay? I rolled over and nearly screamed when I saw Nicholas on a wooden ladder at my window, I looked over and saw Tessi was out like a light, so I climbed out of bed and ran over.

I opened it up and he stepped in, "I'm going to hide around at the hanging tomorrow," He said softly, "I was worried I wasn't going to see you again. You just ran off without saying goodbye." He said sadly.

I hadn't the heart to say I didn't remember him, "It was in a flash, I wasn't give a chance to really think, however, we have a plan to get Jack free and if it works he's coming back in two weeks…" I trailed off, not sure how to ask him to come.

He looked crestfallen, "You're leaving again…" He asked softly.

"Yes, maybe…" I replied, and then looked down, "But I was hoping that you'd come with… maybe…I mean you don't have to." I rambled on, but was cut off by him kissing me.

I wrapped my arms around him, "I'd love to," He said as we heard movement, he went out the window quickly and into the shadows, I turned around and to my horror, Tessi was sitting up smirking at me.

"Didn't tell me you were having Midnight make out sessions." She said laughing, and even in the dark I was sure she could see the blush.

"Oh shut up." I said getting into bed, the last thing I heard when I went to sleep was her sniggering at me. Dumb ass, I thought to myself.


"Jack Sparrow, be it known that you have-" Started a man reading Jack's crimes early the next morning, I rolled my eyes, "Captain Jack Sparrow." I muttered, I looked over and saw Tessi was holding back tears, she was afraid.

The man continued to drone on, "…For you're willful commission of crimes against the crown." Yeah, I know exactly what they can do with that crown. I thought to myself, "Said crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature, the most egregious of these to be cited," He continued.

Elizabeth shifted, "This isn't right." I wanted to snap and say, "No shit," but I didn't, I was stressed right now, I was looking for any sign of Nicholas, I saw none, Elizabeth nudged me and I looked up so did Tessi.

Cottons Parrot flew onto one of the Crown's flags of Port Royal, I smiled, and it was as if we all knew it would be okay. The drum roll started which made my heart pump faster, the man continued to talk on about every crime Jack had done, Will came through, he had on a hat with a long feather on it he looked rather weird in it.

"Governor Swann." He said nodding, "Commodore, Tessi, Elizabeth." He said nodding to them all, he turned to me, "Misty, I should have told you everyday from the moment I met you… I love you." He said, before I could respond he walked away briskly.

My breath caught, I heard my father sigh unhappily, I wanted to snap at him, but I didn't, I saw Will pushing through the crowd, people were screaming, "May God have Mercy on you're soul." My heart was pumping, Tessi and I were beside ourselves, and Elizabeth looked around frantically and then said, "I can't breath." She acted like she fainted, Tessi and I being the nice sisters we are let her drop, knowing what she was doing.

"Move," I heard Will yell, Elizabeth popped up and Commodore and my father looked like they could kill her, Will threw his sword into a piece of wood as the man who hung people, pushed the lever down, Jack was balancing on the sword.

It was then, when all hell broke lose, people were screaming and Will was fighting the man trying to get him to move, the man swung an axe and cut Jack's rope free, he fell down, Tessi gasped, but he cut his hands free and pulled the sword out of the wood and ran ahead to Will. He grabbed the rope throwing it over to Will; they each held onto one end each and ran at the soldier's knocking them over. They ran up the steps pulling out their swords and trying to fight them, Will punched one and Jack kicked another.

They ran down towards the battlement, and down another small flight of steps, only to have all the soldier's close in on them, Jack went in circle crossing his swords with the navy men, Norrington, Tessi, Father, Elizabeth and I caught up. Norrington looked pissed; he held his sword to Will in disgust "I thought we might have to endure some manner of ill conceived escape attempt but not from you." He spat.

My father, the idiot had to throw his two cents in, "On you're return to Port Royal I granted you clemency; and this is how you thank me? By throwing in you're lot with him? He's a pirate!" He said harshly.

Will threw his sword down, "And a good man." He replied, smiling slightly, as Jack pointed to himself proudly, whispering, 'that's me!' as Will continued, "If all I have achieved here is that a hangman will earn two pairs of boots instead of one, so be it. At least my conscious will be clear." He said respectfully.

Norrington got closer with his sword, "You forget you're place, Turner." He said somewhat annoyed.

He smiled and whispered softly, "Its right here…between you and Jack." He said, Norrington wasn't sure how to take it.

I stepped over out of my Father's grasp, and grabbed Will, "As is mine." I said, holding on, Will looked down and smiled at me.

Norrington now looked at a loss of what to do, now a Governor's daughter was taking a Pirate's side, "Misty," my Father said, "Lower you're weapons." He said frantically, they didn't at first, "Lower them for goodness sakes!" He said again, they slowly put them down staring at the three, Tessi walked over, "And mine," She said walking over to Jack, Elizabeth felt at a loss, she had no one to walk over to, so she stayed put.

Jack seemed a little nervous, he saw the parrot and knew, it worked, he would be coming back in two weeks to fetch them, "Well, I'm actually feeling rather good about this!" He said happily, "I think we've all arrived at a very special place." He said walking over to our Father, "Spiritually….Ecumenically…Grammatically?" He said poking our Father which made us snigger to ourselves, he walked over to Norrington, "I want you to know I was rooting for mate," He then turned to Tessi, "I'm sorry Darling, it would have never worked out between us." He lied, and he knew Tessi knew it; it was all apart of the plan.

He backed up against the battlement, "Well, gents, maladies, remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain…Jack...Spar-" He backed up too far and fell into the water below, we ran over and saw he popped up and looked into the Horizon to see the black sailed ship.

Since the curse had been lifted, there were no longer holes in the sails, "Sail ho!" Said a man above pointing, Jack started to swim, "Idiot," Gillette said, "He has nowhere to be but the noose!" He said laughing, "What's our plan of action sir?" he asked Norrington.

"Sir?" He asked again when Norrington didn't answer, "Perhaps on the rare occasion, pursuing the right course demands an act of piracy, piracy itself can be right?" He said.

Norrington nodded, "Sir, what about Sparrow?" Gillette asked, obviously out for blood, he walked up to Norrington nearly desperate.

He turned and smiled, "I'm sure a day's head start won't hurt." He said walking by, the soldier's following him, Gillette stood there shocked before walking away he looked like a fish with his mouth hanging.

Yet as he did, he turned as our father's back was turned to him and bowed to Tessi with a grin on his face, she looked disgusted, our father turned, "So, is this really want you want, after all he is a blacksmith…"

I smiled and pulled his hat off, "No, he's a pirate." I said, Will leaned down and kissed me, deeply, I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him back.

After a while we heard, "He's gone." It was Tessi, Elizabeth, had snuck up to us as well, avoiding our father.

Will and I jumped apart and wiped our mouths, "Gross," We said, "Let's hope we don't have to act that out again." I said, knowing it had all been apart of the plan.

"I agree." Will said smirking somewhat, "It was like kissing a sister, if I ever had one." He said.

Just then I turned and saw Nicholas run out, he had been hiding behind a stone wall until everyone had left, he ran up and kissed me hard, I wrapped my arms around him, after giving Will his hat back, "Wow, someone's popular…" I heard Tessi tease.

I pulled away and blushed, "Shut up." I said.

"No." Defiant little shit.

We all turned towards the horizon and saw the Pearl sailing away, Tessi felt a lump in her throat even though she knew he was coming back, Elizabeth and I hugged her and she pushed us away making gagging noises; yet she was happy to have caring sisters.

"Two weeks Tessi and we leave. Like Jack said we need to smuggle food, and we need to pack the things we're taking. It gives us time to prepare." I said turning to Will, "If you would," I said, "Could Nicholas stay with you at the shop?" I asked.

Will nodded and smiled, "Sure, I'll help get things ready." We all turned, and held hands, we had become a group of close friends we all had one thing in common: freedom. The love for freedom. Maybe we were ahead of our time, maybe we just loved to stand out, and go against the grain, yet we went with what felt right. It wasn't the ending, but the beginning of something new, and something great. We just had to hold out two weeks, just two weeks.

As Jack Sparrow stood on the deck of the Pearl he smiled, remembering the song Tessi taught him, "…and really bad eggs!" He hummed looking at his compass that always pointed him towards another adventure.

"Drink up me 'earties yo ho!" He hummed, he smiled, he couldn't wait to see Tessi again, and when he did, he'd tell her of his feelings, even if they had secretly done it.

Adventure comes in the weirdest ways, it was there and back again, yet the next adventure would be wherever the wind took them, it would never be back again. There was no happily ever after, because love and life never stops, it keeps going, and without pain and sorrow you don't learn to be happy for the great times in life.

The Swann's had, had a lot of tough times, but it was what made them happy, it gave them joy, it sounded weird yet it made sense. As they saw the ship sail out of eyeshot they smiled, it wasn't the ending it was the beginning.
