yea! i get to update finally! don't forget to review!
Norrington sat in his favorite, most comfortable chair, gazing into the glowing embers of the fireplace, smiling menacingly. He was no longer surrounded by the poetry he had worked on for so long. They were all in the late Govenor's house and the Turner's.
'I did it. It's done. I suspect that they know it was I who killed her father. I gave enough hints. 'Surprise' was a little subtle but 'come back Elizabeth' surely was hint enough. I suppose I should go visit them later on today. They will know it was me but they won't do anything about it. They can't. I'd threaten them with something else. Someone else. No...no, Elizabeth will come quietly and when she does I'll kill that little whelp Turner...I think I'll go check up on them now.'
But just as he was walking out the door, Elizabeth and Will were already more than half way to Tortuga.
-----Will and Liz's POV-----
Elizabeth was leaning against the side of the ship, silent tears running down her face. At the helm, Will told his first mate, Davie Butts , to take to wheel. Yes, his last name was Butts and if anyone made the mistake of saying something to him about it, he'd rip their head off with ease. It could be worse however. He could've been named Harry.
Will made his way over to where Elizabeth was standing and put his arms around her. He kissed her tenderly and started to whisper in her ear.
"It's ok now. We're gone and it's all over now. Norrington's mad and someone will realize that he did it soon. He'll pay the price for his crime."
"But Will," she said breathlessly. Tears were flowing faster now. "Now that my father's gone, Norrington will take his position. Being Commodore is only a step away from Govenor. (A/N: I don't know if it really is or not, just go with the flow.) Will, Norrington is the Govenor now..." Her voice broke and she sobbed into Will's shoulder.
"But don't you see? We're not in Port Royal anymore so we don't have to follow his lead-"
"But now he can order his men to search for us. He doesn't have to ask my father for permission or anything and he'll probably change rules and get rid of some and he'll force people against their will and-"
"And with Jack's help, he won't be able to catch us. Jack hasn't managed to get caught yet and if he does, he's got loads of people to back him up and get him out of trouble."
"But Norrington said his men thought they knew where he is-"
"HA! I would love to hear where they think he is! Norrington is such a bimbo, he'd probably lose his big head if it wasn't attached to his shoulders."
And I'll want to believe you, when you tell me that it'll be ok. Ya I'll try to believe you, but I don't.
Elizabeth sighed. "I suppose you're right. But let's stay clear of Port Royal for a while, right?"
"Of course...I wonder what Jack's up to now anyways..."
-----Jack's POV-----
Captain Jack Sparrow was aboard his pride and joy, The Black Pearl. Being at the helm of the Pearl was probably the thing he loved most, besides rum of course. Jack was returning back from his voyage to the dreaded Isla de Muerta and headed for Tortuga to celebrate. There was still a lot of left over treasure and Jack kept going back to la isla for more and more. Nobody knew for sure what the captain did with the gold but rumor had it that he had an enormous stash of rum hidden in the shores of Tortuga.
The rumor was close to true. He did have a huge stash of rum, but it was not hidden in Tortuga. There were too many other rum lovers there who could sniff it out even if it was buried a hundred feet in sand.
No, the rum collection had started in the same spot that Elizabeth had trashed last summer.
On Lost Island, as Jack had named it, in the secret pit, three giant steps past the hollow palm tree, was where Jack's rum was. He had claimed the island as his own (though there was no way of securing it under his name) because well, why not? He'd been marooned there twice and lost one of his most precious things both times. First the Pearl then his rum, thanks to Elizabeth. He therefore decided to call it Lost Island, though most people just called it the spit of land.
"Cap'n!" Gibbs yelled, "We'r nearin' Tortuga. Shall we get ready t' dock?"
Jack shook himself out of his thoughts about his rum and looked out towards the island of Tortuga. They were still a ways away but the Pearl would get there in no time. The Black Pearl was the fastest ship in the Caribbean.
Tortuga really was quite beautiful during the day. Its white beaches sparkling in the sun. Palm leaves blowing in the wind. Little children playing in the calm glowing waters. Ships aiming right for them.
'Wha'?'
He looked over and saw a ships bow aiming at the Pearl's starboard side.
'Wha' th' bloody 'ell do they think they'r doin'? They'r gonna ram us!'
He spun the wheel hard, causing the ship to shift hard to the left.
Gibbs, as well as the rest of the crew, was caught unaware and sent flying onto his stomach. Jack was the only one left standing.
"Jack? Wha' was 'at for?! If we done somethin' ta make ye mad, ye could'v jest yelled a bit couldn't ye? 'Sted of tryin' t' kill us!"
Anamaria was always accusing him of trying to kill them.
"Ana, if I were tryin' t' kill ye I would 'ave done it in a much classier style than knocking ye off me ship. No, did none of ye see? There's a ship a bit back there that looked like she was headin' straight for us." The crew looked past Jack to see the ship that was still coming after them.
"Blasts! If that's that bloke Norrington's men, we better get well out of 'ere." Gibbs said looking the slightest bit worried.
Jack, however, smiled.
"If that's Norrington, I want to wait for 'im. Haven't seen 'im for a while and I want t' see 'is face when he sees me escape...again. LOWER THE ANCHOR!"
Everyone just stood there for a moment.
"Move, ye lazy dogs!"
They gave a last warry look back at the ship behind them and set off. Except Ana and Gibbs.
They walked up to Jack and looked at the approaching ship with him.
"Cap'n. The Pearl's in no condition ta fight. After a long journey like tha' one, she needs ta take it easy fer a while."
"Are ye lecturin' me bout how t' take care o' me ship, Gibbs?"
"No! Jest that I don't want nottin' ter happen ta her."
"We love this ship much as you do and we don't wanna lose her 'cause she wasn't up t' standard."
"Look, Ana. Gibbs. I appriciate ye concern for me ship but I think I'll know if I'm givin' her more 'n she can handle."
The ship was very close now. Not more than a few yards away.
"Have ye swords ready men!"
Ana gave a snort.
"And woman."
As the ship drew nearer still, Jack inspected the ship. It was in good condition, but fairly boring. Unpainted wood the color of chestnuts with three sets of bright white sails. Carved into the wood were the words: The Longing.
The Longing? Wha' kind of a ship name is tha'?'
He looked at the other crew as the ship pulled up next to them.
'It's not Norrington...'
Some of them looked like pirates while others looked like regular townspeople.
'This is a crazy ship.'
He looked up and down for the captain but couldn't find one.
'He's gotta be round 'ere somewhere.'
The ship stopped along the Pearl's starboard side.
Jack walked from the helm to the side, wondering why their crew was just watching him.
Before Jack could speak a voice rang out from somewhere below the deck.
"Ahoy, Jack Sparrow!"
"It's Captain Jack Sparrow!"
Then the speaker came on the deck.
Jack couldn't help but smile.
"So I see ye'v got a ship of yer own now Turner. Very good start but ye need t' work on that name."
Will walked over to the spot across from where Jack was standing.
"Decide to become a good merchant sailor, like ye father, aye?"
"Actually Jack, I want to get branded as a pirate."
"O good! And the woman? What'd ye do with her? Did it jest not work out?"
Elizabeth walked out on deck just then too.
"Hello, Jack." she said rather coldly. "And it did work out. We got married."
Jack's jaw dropped.
"Married? But- pirates don't get married, William." He laughed at the thought.
"Well, I'm not a pirate yet am I?"
Jack just gave him a stubborn glare.
"Well, what brings ye on this fine day t' Tortuga?"
"We were hoping you could help us. Get branded and everything and-"
"Whoa, did ye jest use 'us' and 'get branded' in th' same sentence?"
"Well, not exactly the same sentence-"
Jack rolled his eyes.
"-but yes. Elizabeth too."
"D'ye think yer father would approve of this?"
Elizabeth let out a sob as tears welled up in her eyes. Will hugged her and rubbed her back.
Jack just stood there, confused.
"Er- did I miss somethin'."
"That's the other reason we need your help, Jack. We're running from Norrington."
"That makes two of us."
"Well, since last summer, he's been getting a little..." He made circles around his head with his finger. "Mad."
"Personally I think he always was." His crew laughed.
"But this time he's seriously insane. There's something wrong with him."
Jack was silent.
"He murdered Govenor Swann."
He didn't speak until Will was done telling the story.
"So, will you help us?"
" 'Course I will! Anything to get back at Norrington right?"
Elizabeth finally looked up at Jack and smiled.
"Thank you."
-----Norrie's POV-----
'They're gone!? Where would they have gone to? Surprise..psht! What is this lame joke they're trying to pull on me. Using my material too! Oh, they won't be gone long. Well, Turner will be of course. HA! Long gone.'
He ran all the way to Fort Charles.
"Gillette! Elizabeth and Turner are missing!"
"What?! Poor couple. They must still be grieving over het father's death!" –GASP!- "What if they're going to kill themselves!" –GASP! -
"Calm down, Gillette. Order the men to meet me by the docks as soon as possible."
"But sir. All the men are out looking for Sparrow!"
"Wha-?! Oh this is insane! There must be some men still here."
"Well, sir. There are those two." He pointed to the far corner of the fort.
There sat Murtogg and Mullroy, debating over weather the ocean was green or blue.
Norrington groaned, knowing that they would not be finding his love very soon.
-----Barbossa's POV-----
He slowly opened his eyes as if they would fall off if he opened them too fast.
'Am I dead?'
He slowly sat up and looked at his surroundings. It was a dark cave with bits of light streaming through the ceiling of the cave. His legs were wet. He looked down and saw them laying in water. He looked around some more. Gold shimmers were everywhere. He moved his hands and grabbed a handful of what he was resting on. Gold.
Just then he heard something. The familiar sound of gold hitting gold. He snapped his head around in the direction the sound came from. The gold in the nearest pile was sliding.
"Whozere?"
His voice echoed around the cave.
Then he heard it again and saw gold sliding down another pile.
"Hello?"
Echoes and silence once more.
He turned back to the pile of gold he had picked up.
He laughed quietly to himself.
'I know this place.'
Suddenly there came a loud shrieking noise from somewhere behind the mountain of treasure he laid on.
Slowly trying not to make a sound he got up and staggered around the massive pile.
He smiled his biggest rotten tooth smile.
There in front of him was the cursed treasure of Cortez, Jack the monkey holding pieces of gold in his hands and the medalion around his neck.
confused? Yes...well...things will be explained later...REVIEW!
