Chapter 5

Rose rested her arms on the edge of the ship as it cut across the waves. Her eyes slowly closed as she listened to Will sharpening his sword with a whetstone.

Will followed Jack. "My father. Bill Turner?"

"When I was a lad living in England, my mother raised me by herself."

Jack tightened a line on the ship.

"After she died, I came out here... looking for my father."

"Is that so?" Jack questioned as he moved down the ship moving around Rose.

Jack replied with nothing as he worked.

Will lost his patience of trying to get a proper answer out of Jack. "At the jail - it was only after you learned my name that you agreed to help. Since that's what I wanted, I didn't press the matter. I'm not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father."

Jack considered his reply and decided to tell him the truth. "I knew him. Probably one the few

who knew him as William Turner. Everyone else just called him 'Bootstrap' or 'Bootstrap' Bill."

"'Bootstrap?'"

Jack moved to the wheel steering the ship.

Rose blinked a few times her brows furrowed into a thin line. What if Jack was telling the truth?

"Good man, good pirate. I swear you look just like him."

"It's not true. He was a merchant sailor. A good, respectable man who obeyed the law."

Jack looked at Will and his patience suddenly lost. "He was a bloody pirate. A scallywag."

Will yanked his sword out and leveled it at Jack. "My father - was not - a pirate!"

Jack didn't turn around to face the young man that was yelling at him.

Rose swallowed the lump in her throat.

"Put it away, son. It's not worth you getting beat again."

"You didn't beat me. You ignored the rules of engagement. In a fair fight, I'd kill you."

Jack turned to Will looking at him, his eyes slightly narrowed. "Then that's not much incentive for me to fight fair then, is it?" He turned the wheel hard causing the sail boom to whip around and slammed right into Will's chest his sword clattered onto the deck.

Rose let out a shriek seeing Will dangling over the water.

Jack grabbed Will's sword and pointed it at him. "Now as long as you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that really matter are these: What a man can do. And what a man can't do. For instance: you can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man ... or you can't. But pirate is in your blood, boy, so you'll have to square with that some day. Now me, for example, I can let you drown …"

Will looked at Jack alarmed.

"But I can't bring this ship into Tortuga all by me onesy, savvy?" Jack swung the boom so Will could call right on deck. He pointed Will's sword at him again. "So - can you sail under the command of a pirate -" Jack flipped the sword, offering it back to Will. "-or can you not?"

Will took the sword back from Jack as he laid there on deck. He thought for a moment. "Tortuga?"

"Tortuga."

Rose blinked a few times. "Tortuga? What is in Tortuga?"

Jack looked over at Rose seeing the confused look on her face. "To find a crew to help us go after your sister."

Rose swallowed the lump in her throat as she looked over at Will.

Will saw the concerned look on her face.

"But men will take interest in you if yer not careful bonny-lass."

Rose narrowed her eyes looking at Jack.

"She won't be alone Jack." Will said, moving towards her. "She'll have me protecting her."

Rose nodded her head knowing that Will would watch over her fairly easily and that was something that she was thankful for. She looked at Will, giving him a thankful smile.

"Oh good then. No worries then."

Rose rolled her eyes. "It's not like you would protect me, Captain Sparrow." She said as she put her dainty hands on her hips.

"If you would've asked I would've."

Rose shook her head lightly, her hair bouncing as she did so. She let out a soft breath. "I do doubt what you say Captain Sparrow, after what you had done to my sister. Saved her then used her as a human shield to protect yourself from James."

Jack looked up at her in surprise. "You mean the Commodore?"

Rose's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. "I… um…" She looked away shyly rubbing her arm in embarrassment.

Jack let out a soft laugh at how Rose was asking. "I have me answer."

Rose's head shot up her eyes wide.

This is the end of Chapter 5. I'm trying my best with adding more in each chapter but it is really hard to keep things going when trying to come up with things and doing the old time talking that they did back then. Hopefully I did some justice with it. Please leave a review and let me know what you think. Reviews help keep me going with my writing and I hope to post the next Chapter soon. Until next time guys.
