Chapter 8:
By the time Jack and I left the Pearl the crew was already in town and there was no sign of Norrington and his men. I had never actually been to Port Royal before so Jack led me through the streets acting as my guide. I nearly had a heart attack when a small patrol of guards march by us without so much as a second glance at Jack ,"Where is it that you are taking me?" I asked in a low voice.
It wasn't long before we stopped at blacksmith shop, "'Ere we be Love" he said gruff voice being extra careful not to use his actual voice. Pounding onto the hard wood door, " We need to talk whelp!" he replied when a young man opened the door for us.
He was a nice looking young man with his curly brown hair tied neatly back, had a few kohl smudges upon his face "Jack" he gasped in utter shock. Closing and locking the door behind us, "Are you daft... hold it I already know the answer to that." he muttered closing his eyes shacking his head slightly. Taking in a deep breath, "What are you doing here, Norington is going to see through the getup" he replied finally.
Taking hold of my hand he pulled me forward and placed the other onto the small back, "Will Turner, this be Lilith Greaymore. Love this be me best mate, Will Turner" Jack said introducing us to one another.
Will's mouth nearly hit the floor "Ja..Jack.. what are you doing with the daughter of Port Rose's Governor?" he gasped.
"He saved me from the scum that sacked my home and Killed my father" I replied but a gentle squeeze of his hand calmed the anger that could be heard in my voice.
"Will, I be goin after the bastards and I be needing yer help!" Jack replied in a strangely cold tone.
Will nodded his head, "Aye, But I just can't leave Liz behind. You know how she is with being left out of the action" he replied.
Jack smiled and nodded his head "Aye, that I remember mate. So bring 'er along we can tie 'er up with Lilly here if it get to ruff" he chuckled "eow" he replied as I punched him in the arm sharply.
Will laughed at the shacked look on Jacks face as I hit him, "Looks as if she a force to be reckoned with. Come with me I'll show you to Liz and I's home, I was just about to head there myself when you knocked" he replied. Before he unlocked the back door he looked over to me, "I'm sorry about your father, he was a good man." he replied "This way its not to far."
On our walk Jack Filled Will in on the raid and how he found me and took me aboard the Black Pearl. Will listened intently to what was being said, "...and so I told her that I would 'elp find the bastards." Jack finished.
Will stopped at a large house that looked like a smaller version of the Governors Mansions. Opening the front door he called out to Elizabeth saying that he was home. she came walking into the room and stopped dead in her tracks " What is he doing here?" she gasped.
Will tried not to laugh "Elizabeth, this is Lilith Greaymore the daughter of Port Rose's murdered Governor. Jack has agreed to help her but he has asked for our help" he explained to his wife.
"Will" she started off scolding but then she looked into my eyes, "When do we leave?" she asked suddenly. Walking over to me she placed her arm over my shoulder and led me away from Jack and Will "I'm not found of Mr. Sparrow, but I will come along none the less. I can't let you alone with all of those men and steal all the fun" she smiled.
I laughed softly, "Thank you Mrs. Turner" I replied as she led me into the dinning room.
Elizabeth's smile could have lite up the room, "Please call me Elizabeth, and we were just going to sit down to dinner. Please you both should join us, I'm sure that there is much that needs to be talked about before the night is over" she said softly.
Dinner was wonderful, Jack and Will talked about things that had been going on in there lives since his escape from the gallows. Elizabeth and I sat and talked quietly about girl stuff and laughed along with the men as they told me about their adventure together "While I was marooned on the Island with him I took all of the things out of the cash they were hidden in and set them on fire. Jack was so drunk the night before he didn't wake up until well into the late morning when the fire was burning fully. He was like "The Rum is gone...the Rum is gone.. why is the Rum gone?" she explained flailing her arms about just like Jack always dose.
Jacks eyes narrowed "Ye still could have left me a few bottles" he griped. Even after all the time that has passed since then I could still see that he was holding that on her.
Leaning over I placed my hand onto his lap "It's ok love," I replied giving him a playful kiss onto his cheek just above his scar.
Jack pulled back "Watch it Love! You'll be drinking the bilge water fer a month if'n ye keep it up" he replied in stern tone of voice.
Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "Oh come off if Jack" she laughed "If it wasn't for me we'd still be on that god forsaken island" she explained standing up. Pushing her chair in, "If you two would excuse us I'm going to show Miss Greaymore to her room. Come dear I'll have a hot bath drawn for you as well" she replied showing me out of the room. As if on cue "And she will not be needing any help from you Mr Sparrow" she called back as we left the room.
I could hear Will rolling in a fit of laughter at Jack over what Elizabeth had said to him along with " Bloody Woman" along with a few other choice curses mumbled under Jack breath.
