Meeting My Capitan
I fanned my face trying to get more air in my lungs cause my dress is way to tight. "It's the newest fashion is London." I mocked my adoptive father. "Korie, can I talk to you for a minute?" Asked Commoner Norrington. "Yes." I said gasping out. We walked over to the edge of the building that had the expanding ocean under it. I looked to the horizon. "I have been thinking this for a while now." James Norrington said. "Humm." "I have dreamed of marring a fine woman, Korie, you are a fine woman." He said. "Yeah right, my hair is to red, my eyes are to green, and my skin is to tan since I like being outside." I said. I mentally smacked my self for saying what was in my mind. "Elizabeth?" He asked. "Sorry, go on." I said fanning my self again. I was losing oxygen, and fast. "You are that fine woman." He said. I was shocked and appalled. I really didn't like it when people called me a fine person. It makes me feel like I am being judged from all the girls in the world. I didn't like feeling judged and picked for first prize. I really didn't want to be here any more and I looked around me to see if there is anywhere I can go.
There isn't so I thought and an idea struck my mind. I looked to see if James was looking and he wasn't. I smirked and closed my eyes. I leaned back and fell off of the edge. "Korie!" I heard him yell. I smirked and felt myself hit the water. I opened my eyes and sank to the bottom. I was about to swim off when I heard someone dive into the water. I closed my eyes and a couple of seconds later, I felt someone wrap muscular arms around me. This was surly not James, for one he was still probably making his way down, and for another, he was scrawny looking if you ask me. I opened my eyes so see a quit handsome person. Who am I kidding he is really handsome. He had long, brown, dreadlocks with different beads in. He had a beard that was braded in two braids. I saw him look down and he smiled. I smiled back and we came up for air. "Hey, can you not take me back?" I asked him. "What did you say luv?" He asked. "Can you not bring me back there?" I asked. "Why not?" "Because I don't want to." I said. "Fine by me, always love some company." He said. "Now luv, we are going to get back to shore, but we can leave shortly after." He said. "Why?" "Cause my prefects and hat are there." He said. "What is your name?" I asked. "Capitan Jack Sparrow luv." "Korie Anders." I said. "Well Korie, you are going to have to look dead for a sec or two." Jack said. "Kay." I said closing my eyes and smiling a bit. I felt his hand some to my face and put my lips into a frown. My eyes snapped open. "Hey, can't smile luv." Jack said smiling down at me, showing me his golden teeth. I smiled back and closed my eyes again, trying not to smile at all, which is really hard for me, at times. We went back under water and he took his knife and cut a layer of my dress off. I opened my eyes wide and looked at the layer floating to the bottom. We went back up top. "What did you do that for?" I asked. "It was waiting us down." Jack said. I looked into his deep brown eyes that were outlined with black charcoal. I blushed when finding out what I was doing. He smiled and started swimming again, which was my cue to close my eyes again. I got lifted up and set onto the docks. He cut off another layer of my dress and I could breath normally again. I opened my eyes again and sat up. I got up and saw that Jack was in shackles that James had ordered the guards to do. He threw the shackles over my head and I turned around so my back was facing him. "Give her my things, and the hat." Jack said making it look like he was chocking me. I held out my hands looking frightened, even thought I wasn't. One of the guards gave me Jack's things. "Now, if you be so kind." Jack said. I knew what he was saying and I almost smiled, but I didn't. I wrapped my arms around him and I felt him smile into my neck. "Thanks luv." He whispered into my ear. I smiled knowing that no one could see. I finished fastening his prefects around his waist. "Now, if you can be even more kind." He smiled. My mouth twitched, but I didn't smile. That made him smile even more. I reached up and placed his hat on his head and he twirled me around again so I was facing every one. He released the chain and backed up. "You can all remember this as the day that you almost caught, Capitan, Jack, Sparrow!" Jack said and ran to the end of the dock. "Coming luv?" He yelled behind his shoulder. I knew that was my cue to follow him and I bolted off behind him. "Korie! Were are you going?" I heard James and my father yell. I looked behind my shoulder and smirked at them, and waved. "See yah." I yelled. I started laughing and came to the edge of the dock were Jack was waiting. We dove in at the same time. Jack went to the bottom and rammed the shackles on his wrists and they broke. He came up and we swam forward.
It has been an hour, and I spotted an island. "Jack! I have found land!" I yelled practically out of breath. "You doing alright?" Jack asked swimming closer to me so that your arms brushed against another as we swam. I blushed and looked away. "Yeah, I am fine." I said. "You know luv, you can hop on my back and I can swim us there." Jack said. It was probably a good idea since I am really tired and can hardly breath. "Thank you Jack." "Anything for you luv." With that said, he swam in front of me and treaded water as I wrapped my arms loosely around his neck so that I didn't choke him. About twenty minutes later, we had reached the island and I slid off of Jack's back into the water that went to my waist. We crawled onto the island and laid on our backs gasping for air. "Fancy the swim luv?" Jack asked. "Yeah, quit refreshing." I said. We both laughed a bit. "Hey, look, a shooting star." I said pointing up at a sliver star gliding across the sky. "Make a wish luv." Jack said moving closer so that our arms were touching another's. I blushed. 'I wish to never go back and to stay with Jack.' I thought. "What did you wish for luv?" Jack asked. "To never go back and to stay with you." I said and blushed. "Well that wish can come true if you want luv." Jack said. "Really, thanks." I smiled. "What did you wish for?" "Rum, lots, and lots of rum!" Jack said. "Yeah, like we are going to find that on an island." I said. "I know were there are some, and they are on the island. This use to be storage for rum. People would trade it." Jack said getting up. I looked at him like he was mad and he laughed. "You don't believe me? Then come and see." Jack said taking my hand and helping me up. I grabbed onto his arm when I heard a twig snapping. "Sorry luv." Jack said as he took his foot off of a dead twig. I really did hate it when it got dark like this, and now since I wasn't in Port Royal any more, there wasn't a candle I could light up or anything. "How do you know were you are going?" I asked. "Cause I have been here before, when my crew mutinied me." Jack said simply like it didn't even hurt a little that he got abandoned. It must have been awful to be here alone, unless there was someone else." I said. "Nope, just me and the stars." Jack said. He started banging on trees and taking really long strides. He then started hopping up and down and grinned widely. He bent down and wiped some sand out of the way. He found a handle and pulled it up and smiled even wider. I bent down to see what it was and saw bottles, and bottles of rum. "I don't think we are going to run out of rum." I said. He laughed a bit at my facial expression when I said that. He grabbed two bottles out and handed me one.
