chapter 5

All was silent on deck and in the dark sky as everyone on the ship turned and looked at Jackie.

"That's right! I invoke the right of parley!" he said, "Now you must come to do what a pirate wants."

"True, but if ye know your history, Turner wasn't much of a pirate." Barbossa said with a small chuckle.

"Yes, but here is a surprise for you. Her name is Lizzie Turner and My name is Jackie Sparrow!" he yelled, "I've heard Jack Sparrow was a great pirate, and his blood runs through my veins. Now that Ihave invoked parley, you must do what I say!" The pirates were groaning at the sound of the news that they gave Lizzie the wrong punishment. They were approaching Jackie with swords unsheathed.

"Wait. Ye shall not harm one who's under the protection of parley. What is it that you wish?" Barbossa said

"I want...A boat, so I can save Lizzie and find land today. As well as a spyglass and information." Jackie said

"What kind of information?"

"How is it that your alive now when you died in the sixteen hundreds?"

"My crew was kind enough to bring me back." Barbossa took a gold coin from his pocket, "The gold gives eternal life. Emphasis on gives life. As for the time, this ring with emeralds is the ring of tommorrow. It has the ability to transport its holder to the future. We went, plucked you from your time, and brought you to ours. Is that enough of an explanation for ye?"

"Yes, now lower the boat and give me your spyglass." As Jackie said that, a boat on the side where the plank was lowered into the fog covered water and Barbossa handed over his spyglass. Jackie put it into his pocket and jumped into the water. He kept swimming until he reached the bottom where Lizzie was lying. He grabbed her shoulder and started to swim upto the surface andout to the boat. He pushed Lizzie into it and then climbed in himself. He used the Army knife to cut the ropes that bounded her arms.

"Lizzie. Lizzie wake up." he said, but there was no response. He pushed three times on her chest, and she awoke spitting out all the water.

"Jackie? I owe you." she said. Jackie commenced with cutting the ropes around her legs.

"Where and how did you get this boat?" she asked

"Parley." he said

"Par-what?"

"Parley.A pirate captured by other pirates can invoke the right of parley to make commands that may or may not save their life." he said in one breath.

"Good deal. Now I'm jealous about your deal making." she said

"One day, you'll make a good deal." he responded. When they were silent, they noticed that their hands were on top of each others hands. When they noticed, they pulled their hands away. Then, Lizzie and Jackie heard something splash. They could see Barbossa's ship, but it was a long ways away. Still,the noise puzzled them. They heard it again only closer. Jackie pulled out the spyglass and looked for the source of these splashes.

"Can I see that?" Lizzie asked, pointing to the glass.

"Sure." Jackie said, handing it over. Lizzie couldn't see much through the fog, but she could make out the ship aiming its cannons.

"We have to start rowing! NOW!" she said

"Why?" Jackie asked while getting an oar.

"Because right now there using us as target practice for their cannons!" The splashes were getting so close now, they could see them. The two were frantically rowing as fast as humanly possible, but it wasn't enough. One cannonball shot and hit the boat causing a large splash that made them both fly through the air. Meanwhile, on the ship, they were cheering over their supposed death. Little did they know that after the splash, they swam to the surface and caught a large piece of boat they could both hold onto.

"Great. We're driting on a large piece of wood in the middle of the sixteen hundreds with an undead guy who tried to kill us. Now what?" Jackie said.

"We just keep drifting until we drift to land." Lizzie responded. So they did, even as the orange sun was rising into the sky to break the fog. They two were sleeping, until, they felt something beneath their feet.

"Land?" Lizzie said as she woke to the feeling. She opened her eyes and discovered they were on a beach next to bustling dock.

"Jackie! Wake up! We're on LAND!" she said with much excitment. Jackie woke and was as happy asLizzie, but was very curious as to where the land was.

"Lizzie, do you even know where we are?" he asked. She shook her head no, "We should find someone herewho does." Together, they wandered until they found a man wearing a suit that looked like George Washington's.

"Excuse me sir, but our captain never did tell us where we were landing. What is this place?" Jackie politely asked

"You are now standing in this wonderful place ruled by our kind Govener Mr. Swann." he said, "Right now you two have landed in Port Royal."

"WHAT?" Lizzie siad, she overheard Jackie and the guy talking, "This has gone too wierd!" She starts walking off the dock and towards the town.

"Don't you think I know that?" Jackie said following her, "We need to find someone who we might know who can help us." Then, it came to her.

"I think, I know someone." she said. She grabbed his arm and started runningthrough the townand looking for a blacksmith.
