Chapter 27
It had been a day since they have been back. And today was the day of his hanging. Shyla had talked to her father and he told her that Jack didn't want to see her there, that he didn't want for her to have to see him go to his death. Her father knew that she truly loved him she had tried to talk them out of it, but it just wouldn't happen. And sure enough it made her so angry, that she had someone track down the Pearl and give them a message. They sent a reply saying they would wait just beyond the bay behind some rocks, for her and Jack. But she didn't know if she would be going with him. It would leave a slight chance that he would be followed accused of kidnapping her once more. Which he did not do. She wrote a note to her father, and she was going to hand it to him as soon as she could free Jack.
Dear Father.
I know that you have grown understanding to the life
I had lead, not only have you let me live my life. You let me be me, by
showing that I can truly decide for myself. You once said, on the H.M.S
Dauntless, that Even a good decision made for the wrong reasons could
be a wrong decision. And that me and Lizzy must please ourselves, not
others and not even you. Well, father, who's to say that the decision
I'm making is wrong, or right?
I am going to do as you say, I am going to please my self and myself alone. I know that by doing what I have done will not please you and will not land well with others. But father, do not let what other's think effect the way I want to live. Please I know that you think you're losing a daughter by me leaving, but truth is, you'll be losing me by not letting me go. I love Jack Sparrow, as much as it may pain you so. That man has saved me from living a life I had not wished to. He has shown me that one must live their own life in order to live, and to do that. I must leave you, and Lizzy.
Please, I beg you, don't come looking for me nor Jack. For, if I am right, me and him will be gone before you can get to us. I love him, and you should accept that. I know mother would. Let Lizzy, do the same, let her live her own life, with the one she truly love. For everything in me, I love you and tell Lizzy, I love her as well. I'll be seeing you, as soon as I think it best. Farewell for now, and please…respect my wishes.
Love always and forever more, Shyla Heaven Swann.
After she sealed the letter shut she looked at her self once more. Her eyes, holding truth and happiness. She knew this was right, she knew that if she didn't do this, she would waste away. She stood up her light blue gown that had only two rows of cotton, which was light. She had her hair, like always, a little pinned back, and a smile on her lips. She held the letter slipped on her shoes and walked off toward the one place, she was not meant to be today after fetching Serenity, her white mare.
She jumped off of the horse that she rode and ran when she heard the drums. She was behind her father and everyone else. Who hadn't looked back. She gasped as Jack fell a hand to her mouth, she was frozen in place. But she seen a white large feather and heard a noise and seen him dangling just on the sword that had been thrown.
She ran up but was stopped by Elizabeth, who had pretend to faint.
"What are you doing here. You're supposed to be at home." Lizzy said. She smiled.
"Yes, well. I had an urge to come." she said, her father looked at her.
"Lizzy," she began with a whisper. Her sister looked at her.
"What"
"Always remember I love you." she said, not knowing how to tell her sister that she was leaving.
"And I'll always love you, Shyla, what's going on?" she asked.
"You'll see." she said as Will and Jack made their way to the cliffy thing. (um…forgot what it's called. So bar with me ppl)
They ran past her and her and Lizzy ran after them, standing behind their father. Shyla stood behind a pillar, so that no one would see her yet.
"I thought we might have to endure some manner of ill-conceived escape attempt but not from you, Turner." Norrington said dully.
"On our return to Port Royal, I granted you clemency. And this is how you thank me? By throwing in your lot with him? He's a pirate!" her father said. Shyla rolled her eyes and mouthed 'and a good man'
"And a good man." Will said, which causes Jack to point to himself proudly, with a smile, and he mouths, 'That's me'
"If all I have achieved here is that the hangman will earn two pairs of boots instead of one, so be it. At least my conscience will be clear." he added.
"You forget your place, Turner." Norrington said. Will looked at him, furring his brow.
"It's right here…between you and Jack." he said. Elizabeth walked out and stood next to Will and took his hand.
"As is mine." she aid. Shyla took that as her que.
She walked out and stood beside her father and smiled at her sister.
"I'm proud of you, Lizzy. I really am." she said and walked and stopped in front of her father, she looked up and seen the parrot, they were here. She looked back to her father.
"When I first started this journey. I wanted Jack dead, true. But as it went on I found that he was a good man, and a good pirate. Mother would've loved to hear the whole thing, you know that. And father…" she paused taking the note and handing it to him then went on.
"You once said, as mother had, that to make one happy, you must choose your own life, and make decision for your self. Well, I'm doing that now. My heart belongs to that man, and that pirate. And I am, where my place is." she said walking back and taking a hold of Jack's hand, who looked happily at her with a boyish smirk. She smiled back.
"Are you sure this is what you want?" he asked her. She nodded.
"As sure as you were with mother. Read that letter, and know, I love you. But I want to be happy, and I can't be happy if I'm here. It's just that simple." she said, looking up and pointing the parrot out to Jack. Who smiled.
"Lower your weapons…for goodness' sake put them down!" her father yelled. Shyla smiled sadly at him, Lizzy understood what she was doing and nodded to her.
"Be careful"
"Aren't I always?"
"Yes, that's what frightens me." Lizzy said, with a smile.
"Well! I'm actually feeling rather good about this. (walks to the father.) I think we've all arrived at a very special place, eh? Spiritually…Ecumenically…Grammatically? (then he walked to Norry) I want you to know that I was rooting for you, mate. Know that." he said and walked past Elizabeth, who he looked at then smiled.
"I'll take good care of her, darling…Pirates honor." he said and Lizzy smiled at him. Then he looked at Will.
"Will…" he said while taking a hold of Shyla's hand and both went running toward the edge.
"Nice hat…Friends! This is the day that you will always remember as the day that--" he was cut off, holding Shyla close to his chest, he tripped over the edge and fell off into the water, Shyla screaming the whole way down.
Lizzy, Will, and Weatherby ran and looked down seeing them coming up and Shyla splashing water at Jack. Lizzy and Will both laughed about it.
"What's your plan of action sir?" Gillette asked, looking at the Pearl.
"Perhaps on the rare occasion pursuing the right course demands an act of piracy, piracy itself can be the right course." the governor said looking at Norrington then to the retreating back of his oldest daughter.
"Mr. Turner." Norrington said, Lizzy, held Will back but he looked at her.
"I will accept the consequences of my actions." he said and looked at Norrington who took out his sword.
"This is a beautiful sword. I would expect the man who made it to show the same care and devotion in every aspect of his life." he said, looking at Elizabeth then to Will. Who nodded.
"Thank you"
(With the others)
As they reach the side of the Ship, Jack takes the rope in hand, and Shyla places her arms around his neck and he takes her in his arm and they both are heaved onboard the Pearl.
Landing on his behind, Jack looks and smiles at Shyla, who smiles back. Then he looks and sees Gibbs hand out stretched to him.
"I thought you were supposed to keep to the Code." he stated.
"We figured they were more actual…guidelines." he said then helps Jack up. Shyla stayed there and blinked.
"So,
it actually went into the thick head of yours?" she asked, Jack spins
and looks at her, confused, he just watched but helped her up.
Gibbs nodded.
"Yea, we figured you has cooked up a plan, seeing you sent word an all"
"Well actually I wasn't the one who cooked up the so called plan…it was the young William. Which I'm happy he had done, I had nothing to go by." she said, smiling. Gibbs smiled. Jack looked at her.
"So you sent word to get them to come here, and so that Will could help me escape?" he asked. She looked at him and put a hand on her hip.
"What's wrong with that? Can't I be smart, or am I just a dumb lady, who knows absolutely nothing about everything?" she asked. Jack put his hand around her waist and pulled her close, his lips close to her ear.
"You're no lady, you're a pirate." he said…and added.
"And you're my woman, love…get use to it." he said and smiled at her, she took the hat from Cotton.
"Thanks Cotton." she said and placed it on his head.
"Yes, so that would make you mine. And if I catch you with another, Sparrow…let's just say, you won't be a womanizer any longer, savvy?" she threatened. Jack pulled out a puppy dog face and pouted.
"Now, love, there's not need to be giving any threats like that. You've got me word, no other woman matter…only you and me Pearl." he said and she watched as Ana handed him his coat and put it on his shoulders.
"Captain Sparrow…The Black Pearl is yours." she said Jack walked over to the helm and looked around fondly. Holding the wheel under his hand, he sees that the crew is looking at him.
"On deck, you scabrous dogs! Man the braces! Let down and haul to run free." he yelled. Shyla walked over to him.
"Captain?" she asked, in a playful voice. He looked at her and smirked.
"Yes, love"
"What about me? What do I have to do?" she asked, placing her hands low behind her back and standing beside him. He grabbed her and pulled her close to his chest.
"You do nothing, love. Not now anyway. I've plans later on tonight for the both of us." he said, looking into her eyes, causing her to blush. He knew that being as a lady for her life, she was untouched, he leant down and whispered into her ear.
"Don't worry, love. I'll take great care of ya, just you and me tonight, savvy?" he asked. She smiled and nodded, the blush going deeper. He loved to make her blush.
"I savvy, you Captain…boy do I savvy." she said, whispering the last part and not knowing her heard. Which only made his smirk grow wider.
"Now…bring me that horizon." he said, humming and taking out his compass.
"And really bad eggs…drink up me 'earties, yo ho." they both sung, and he snapped the compass shut.
