Chapter 11

When I walked in the main entrance of Will and Elizabeth's home, I headed strait up to my room to be alone. I didn't know what to think or even what I was going to tell Jack about the Commodore's proposal of marriage to me down at the docks. Even though I was no stranger of men of Norringtons ranking and stature asking for my hand in marriage. I had already given my innocence to one man and that's the way I wished it to stay, whether we were properly married or not.

I opened up the glass doors that led out onto a small balcony, there was a cooling breeze of fresh sea air the came from the harbor blowing gentle onto my face. "Oh father, I wish you were here to help me out of this?" I spoke softly thinking that I was alone so that no one would have been able to hear me.

"Help ye out of what, Love" a soft male voice asked me from behind.

Before I could turn around a pair of familiar arms wrapped around my slender waist, "Oh Jack!" I sighed " When ever a suitor came calling that I didn't like would keep asking for my hand my father would always step in and take care of it for me" I began.

Jack pulled me closer into his chest, "Let take a guess... Norrie asked ye to marry 'em?" he asked softly. I could hear a touch of annoyance within his voice as he spoke.

I sighed deeply, "Yes, he did. But this was not the first time nor even the second time he's asked" I pointed out.

" Oh really now" he replied sounding very interested in this latest bit of news.

I turned around in his arms and placed my head comfortably onto his exposed chest, "Oh Jack, I have turned him down more times then I care to talk about and yet he still insisted in asking me to marry him."

Jack placed his hands onto my shoulders and moved me back so that he could look deeply into my eyes, "Ye don't have ta worry about that anymore Lilith! Ye be with me now and that's where I wish ye to stay" he replied sincerely the leaned down and captured my lips and kissed me deeply. Then he looked up at me and smiled "I talked with Will before I came up here, we both agreed that it be to risky fer me to head down to the docks with ye. So I told 'em that I'll be leavin just after ye but I be taking the back streets down. Now ye'll be arriving to me Pearl befer me so I'll need ye ta do me a favor" he explained then leaned down and began whispering a few things into my ear.

When he was finished I looked up into his dark brown eyes, "Jack, are you sure about this?" I asked him. He nodded and just gave me one of his golden toothed smiles, "Why does that look worry me?" I replied.

Jack only smiled even bigger, "Don't worry love, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." he replied boasting.

I rolled my eyes and placed my hands onto my hips , "Exactly!" I pointed out as I turned and started walking back into the room.

After gathering the few things that I had, Jack and I walked out of the guest room and down the hall. Will and Elizabeth had already sent for the carriage and were awaiting for Jack and I down in the main entrance way. Once the carriage arrived Jack pulled me close and placed his mouth next to my ear "keep to the plane" he whispered and then kissed me before Will escorted bot Elizabeth and I out the door. I watch out the window as Jack slipped out the door and ducked quickly into a back alleyway, "What is he doing?" Elizabeth asked softly, I could only smile, "What he does best," I replied but then will piped up, "Getting himself into trouble" he snickered.

It was a quiet ride down to the docks, the three of us got out and showed the porters the way to the Black Pearl as the brought Will and Elizabeth's luggage. Walking up the gang plank I walked into Jacks cabin and started to put my things away "Well I won't be needed that thing any more" I replied looking over at the spare bunk that lay under the windows of the cabin. Walking out onto the main deck I asked Mr. Gibbs if he would have the bunk removed, because I wouldn't be needing it anymore. Without a word of protest he and two of the crew members went in and removed it.

The next thing I knew the sounds of gun fire were suddenly heard, "What the hell?" I ran back out onto the main deck. Looking out at the shore I saw the Royal Navy firring at someone who was running towards the docks. Everyone was now out on deck and watching in anticipation as to see whether or not the one that was being fired upon was their Captain. Remembering Jack plane I turned to Mr.Gibbs "Get this ship going now! That's Jack their firring at" I ordered " I want us to be well on our way just in case Norrie get any bright ides on fallowing us" I replied firmly.

Gibbs took one look at the dock, at Jack running for his life and then he turned to me "Aye" he replied softly, "Alright ye heard the lass. Get ta work!" he bellowed out at the crew.

Walking over to the rope that was used to lift supplies off the docks I grabbed a hold of it and looked out at the dock, "Come on Jack, Come on" I whispered. When I though that he was close enough to the end of the dock we were at I heaved the rope over the side of the ship with all my strength and watched it land onto the very end of the dock.

Jack had just reached the rope as the Pearl started pulling away from the dock, "Well Norrie, I'd love ta stay and chat but me ship is leaving" he replied jumping off the dock as soon as he felt the rope yank his hands back.

The crew pulled on the rope as hard as they could making Jack fly off the dock and well into the air and landed firmly onto the deck of his Pearl. We could hear Norrington yelling " I'll see you hanged for this Jack Sparrow!"along with some comment about kidnapping but I was too happy to see Jack standing at my side barking orders to his crew. Taking my hand in his he walked up to the helm of the ship to take the wheel, "I told ye that I would make it Love. Ye fallowed me orders exceedingly well, didn't she Mr. Gibbs" he replied proudly.

"Aye Captain, I had a feelin' that those daft orders came from ye" he laughed and then went back to work.

Holding onto the wheel with one hand Jack steered us out of the harbor and out into the Caribbean Sea. I was leaning against the railing of the Helm watching Norringtons men scramble about on the docks, "I think my hunch on him fallowing us was correct Jack" I replied sounding somewhat concerned.

Jack just reached over with one hand and pulled my close to him, "Not to worry Love," he smiled "I know how to handle our friend the Commodore" He chuckled.
