Alanna made sure that the delicate necklace was safe in the case, the entire way to the Blues Inn. As she walked across the street towards the building, it suddenly dawned upon her that mayhap this drifter wasn't an entirely trustworthy man? Alanna knew never to trust strangers, but it seemed this fellow named Mr. Turner was against pirates, and maybe with his help, she could find the pirates who killed her parents.
Alanna glanced at the busy Inn in front of her. The people inside were busy with their everyday business. Alanna grumbled to herself. How could someone run a respectable business in there? She began to walk away, when the blacksmith shop caught her attention. She groaned and opened the creaky rundown door. It said it was owned by a Mr. Turner. Maybe his business was in the blacksmith shop?
For being such a sunny day outside, the shop was very dank and smelled of stale, musty straw and smoke. Alanna glanced at a sleeping donkey in the corner and began to feel very unnerved. It felt as if someone was watching her, and yet, the blacksmith shop, was completely abandoned.
"Hello?" Alanna asked the unsettling silence, "Is anyone there?...I'm looking for a Mr. Turner?" a crash from behind her made her jump. She knew whatever made the crash, was now blocking her exit. Alanna noticed a pair of doors in front of her, but they were a few lengths away. A cough from an uncomfortably close distance behind her made her skin crawl. Every inch of her was screaming to run, but she fought her better judgment and turned around..
Alanna gasped as she came face to face with a man, who seemed to be a pirate. From long black hair, decorated with many trinkets, to his clothing and up to his teeth decorated with gold plates, Alanna knew this was a pirate no doubt. She gulped and backed away, but the man followed, "Can I help ye' lass?" He questioned.
Alanna stuttered and turned to run out the door, when another gentleman came through the other door. This man looked younger and much more well kept. He had brown hair tied back and clean clothes. His brown eyes greeted hers as he smiled at her. "Can I help you ma'am?"
Alanna breathed in and spoke, "Yes I am looking for a Mr. Turner?" she asked.
The young man smiled, "Yes that is me. I'm Will Turner, how can I help you Miss...?"he paused waiting for an answer.
Alanna jumped as the pirate walked over to Will looking her up and down, "Uh, I-I am Alanna. Alanna Robinson."
Will elbowed the pirate and held out his hand, "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Miss. Robinson." He paused and glanced at the pirate, who had just taken to admiring a sword nearby. "Oh and this is my good friend, Jack Sparrow." He introduced.
Jack bowed low and extravagantly, "It's Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow" He enforced stroking his beard.
Alanna sighed glaring at Jack. Just the thought of him being a pirate brought back painful memories for her. She glanced at the case in her hand, and decided to ask the question she was aching to ask. "Mr. Turner, you're not really a pirate hunter...are you? I mean, considering your friend here, I doubt you are." She concluded sadly.
Will smiled grimly at the woman in front of him, "No Miss Robinson, I'm not. The whole 'Pirate Hunting' was created by my wife and I to keep Commodore Norrington from asking too many questions about Jack."
Will noted the upset look on Alana's face and had an idea, "Maybe I can still help you though?"
Alanna nodded, "Maybe. You see an odd drifter handed me this case," she paused as she opened the case. "It has this necklace inside that a pirate took off of my mum when I was but a child. The drifter said that you would know what to do...Can you help?"
Alanna yelped as Jack trodded upon her foot and snatched the necklace from her. "Where did you say you got this?" he asked frantically.
Alanna started too shake at the look in Jacks brown eyes. "Well, I-I-I got it from this drifter, b-but it was mine, well my mothers actually..." she was cut off by Jack pacing about.
"Quick lass, where did you come from, ye' know, what job are ye' occupying?" He questioned.
Alanna gulped, sensing she had put herself in danger. "Well, I work at The Swallow's Landing. It's just up on the street." Alanna stared as Jack stroked the necklace.
Will looked at Alanna quizzically and shrugged, "Jack, what does this mean?"
Jack clutched the necklace close to him. "It means that Siago is up to something and that Miss Robinsons life is in danger as we speak. This necklace is a key. Basically, to all pirates it's known as the Key to the Sun. It is said that the beholder, with the help of the heir, or, well heiress in this case of the necklace, could very well become the most powerful being in the seven seas!" Jack finished, staring wildly at the necklace. He looked at Alanna, "I'd recommend that the drifter would have been one of Siagos crewmates. Alanna... ye should 'ave never taken the necklace! It was a setup. I'll bet anythin' tha' Siago is in the harbor, waiting for the cover of night, to come and...well...for lack of a better word, abduct you and take the necklace!" Jackvented in frustration.
Will glanced at Alanna. "Miss Robinson, would you like to stay for dinner? I'm sure my wife would love to meet you. It seems you two might have a lot in common, what with pirates and all."
Alanna nodded, "I'd love to, but I have to stop back at the pub and tell Mrs. Aldworth." She glanced at Jack and rolled her eyes.
Jack broke from his thoughts and jumped to her side. "If ye' don't mind, I shall be escorting you to the pub." Seeing that Alanna was about to protest, he quickly added, " Seein' as if I don't you may not have to worry about dinner as ye probably will be sailing away to only God knows eh?"
Alanna groaned, "Captain Sparrow...with all do respect, I don't think that's necessary. I'm perfectly capable-"
"Oh pish posh" Jack cut in, besides I have loads of more questions for you." He added smirking at her.
Alanna grimaced, "Oh, I can hardly wait Mr. Sparrow. I can hardly wait."
Will shook his head, feeling concern for Alanna and her new found danger. "Jack, take care of her, and don't get any ideas...if you know what I mean" he scolded.
Jack looked slightly aghast, "Whoa, me have any ideas, other than escorting this fine lass home. Why never. Although, I wouldn't mind trying out the wunnerful Swallows rum, if that's okay with you?"
Alanna groaned. What did she just get herself into? "Fine Captain, just, don't bother me...please." She pleaded and walked to the door. "Mr. Turner it was a pleasure meeting you, I shall be back."
And with that Alanna with her new escort scurried out the door into the sunny late afternoon weather. It was odd how the weather seemed to have no care for the fear Alanna was feeling at the thought of being in danger, and possibly killed.
Well thats chapter two. Please tell me what you think, and no flames please, but like I've said before, I don't mind constructive criticism. Sooooo, I hope you all have liked it so far!
