Ch. 2

'Damn I should have been paying attention...' was my last thought.

When I awoke next, I immediately went over to my brother who was just waking up like I was. We looked around a bit seeing the damage then we to the Commodore with the urgent news that the pirates had taken Elizabeth. Though, he seemed not to care, and her father, from what I could tell looked like he was ready to just jump someone. We then tried to get him to consider getting Jack Sparrow to help, but that was all in vain as well. That was when Will, kind of snapped, slamming his hand axe into the table in the middle of the map. "That's not good enough." He said forcefully. I placed a hand on his arm, telling him to calm down. "Anger only blinds." I whispered to him. The Commodore picked up the hand axe and walked over to us, saying that Will wasn't a military man or a sailor and that he was only just a blacksmith. I was tempted to say something, but the look in my brother's eyes told me not to, we left then, and knew what we had to do. Get Sparrow's help.

We came to the jail and went down to the holding cells. Sparrow was lying on the ground, acting like nothing happened and he wasn't trying to escape. I was looking at the bars, remembering when I helped put these in. I took the bone out of the locked and raised an eyebrow at the man before throwing it behind me. I couldn't help but smirk when Will finally admitted that this Captain Barbossa took Miss Swan. It seemed that Sparrow also was enjoying it as he started making fun of him with a straight face, then saying that he would gain nothing from helping.

"We can get you out of here ya know." I piped up, sending Will a meaningful look. "After all he helped build these, and I helped put them in." I said tilting my head towards my brother. Sparrow sat up a bit when Will explained how easy it was. "What are your names?" he asked curiously. "Will Turner and Gabby Turner." I said leaning back against the wall. Sparrow sat up some more facing will. "Short for William I gather. Probably named after your father. A good strong name." He said then turned his dark eyes to me. Yours is short Gabriella. Unusual name for a lass, but probably named after yer mother, probably her second name." He said "Very elegant." He smirked at the end. Will and I looked at each other then back at Sparrow. "Yes..." we said uncertainly. That was then when Sparrow stood up and decided to help us. They shook hands and Will lifted the door off, we quickly left after Sparrow got his weapons. We went under the bridge near the docks. We paused a bit and looked at the ships. Before Will could say anything, after Sparrow explained what we were going to do, Sparrow asked him another question. "Are you willin ta do anythin for this bonnie lass?" he asked. Knowing my brother I couldn't help but shake my head a bit. "Of course, I'd die for her." Was his answer, Sparrow then looked over at me and pointed. "And you?" he asked. "I'm just here for fun and to make sure he," I nudged my head towards my brother. "Doesn't actually get himself killed." I said. "Good." Sparrow said and we followed his lead. Will gave me an annoyed look but I just shrugged it off, after all my brother should be use to this by now.

We ran into the rush and waited for the navy to pass as they did their rounds. When it was clear we went over to the canoes and we all hid underneath one somehow and waited for the next set to go past before tiptoed into the water. Unfortunately, my brother is a klutz and stepped in something. When we finally got onto the ship, we drew our weapons. Mine being two daggers, Will's being his sword and Sparrow his gun. We went down to the main deck where Sparrow cocked his gun and held it in front of the one in charge. "Calm down now, we're just taking the ship." Jack said, and much to my disappointment, my brother tried to 'intimidate' the crew. "Aye, Avast!" He said pointing his sword at them, but they just laughed. It was pathetic mind you... Sparrow and I looked at each other and looked at Will, then back at each other before turning back to what was at hand.

We soon took the ship and started to sail out with Sparrow giving us orders. For some reason, I could handle the ship better than Will could, maybe it was from getting some of the navy men to show me down by the port. But just liked planned the Commodore came after us in the ship we wanted. We waited until all of the men were on the ship we took before the three of us landed on the Interceptor and cute the ropes before sailing away. I was sitting on the railing smirking at the navy's attempts to get us. We had disengaged the rudder so it wasn't possible for the ship turn. "We'll that was fun." I commented with a wide smirk. "Aye, it was lass." Sparrow said. I sat on the deck sharpening my daggers as Will told Sparrow our story of how our mother raised us by herself, then when she died, how we came out here looking for our father. He then started pestering Sparrow, figuring out that he knew our father. I had my guess at how Sparrow knew, but I wasn't about to say it out loud. I tuned the men out and stood up walking over to railing again and sat on it, looking out into the wide ocean with a smiling rising onto my lips. When I turned around to ask something I had to shake my head. Will was hanging over the ocean by the mass, if I had to guess, he had tried to get into another fight, probably about our father. I watched the two of them exchange words again before Will was brought back to the ship where he landed flat on his back. The only word I mainly paid attention to was Tortuga. 'So that's where we're heading.' I thought, a smirk making its way onto my lips as I turned my eyes back to the sea. 'This will be a very interesting voyage.'

Once we reached Tortuga, I could tell right away that it was a town of trouble. Or more specifically, a town of no rules. I was glad that I had bandaged my top half and wrapped a bandana over my head. 'If anyone else knew I was a woman here, I think I'd be in trouble.' I thought as I looked around. One woman came towards us, well more specifically Sparrow, and slapped him before walking away looking angry. The same thing happened again and I was ready to make a smart comment. We walked a bit more when Sparrow stopped us. "We will need some water." He said holding up his hands like he always did when he talked. We grabbed two pales full of water and walked over to the pig pen, where we saw an older man sleeping. He shot up, pulling out a knife in a drunken state. I couldn't help but smirk though at the man and tilt my head slightly to the side. I could just tell that Will was quite taken back from the smell so while Sparrow and the man talked briefly, I leaned over to him and whispered into his ear. "Just throw your water over 'im." He looked at me then with a hidden smirk, causing me to smirk in return. When both males stood up, Will did just as I suggested and threw the water. Gibbs, the older man sent a glare at yelling that he was awake, but ever so calmly, as he could, Will just said that it was for the smell, which seemed to satisfy Gibbs.

The four of us made our way to the local bar. I watched amused as everyone fought each other drunk. I was standing beside Will, who looked almost terrified at the site. "Come on Willy, cheer up." I whispered to him. Sparrow then came over to us telling us to keep a sharp eye before leaving to the table where Gibbs sat. "Doesn't give much reassurance huh?" I said lowly so only my brother could hear. "It doesn't help that we're in a place like this." He whispered back. I chuckled softly and rolled my eyes. "This is usual in a bar Willy." I said, "Though this isn't something I'm very use to seeing." I chuckled a bit. "That's because I told you to only take the day shift." He said sending me a grin which I returned. We turned around a bit, having a feeling that we were being talked about. "Leverage... just like a pirate." I muttered, crossing my arms in front of my chest. Before Will could reply a very heavy woman, or should I refer to her as a whore... came up to my brother and started flirting with him, making him very uncomfortable than he already was. Luckily though, a man came taking the whore away muttering something about the young always taking away the goods. "This is just chaotic." Will whispered to me, knowing that I was thinking the same thing as him. I looked back at the table to see Gibbs and Sparrow grinning wickedly, they downed they clinked their glassed then downed the rum before slamming the mugs back down onto the table. 'So it begins eh?' I thought, closing my eyes briefly.

The next morning we went out to the dock where Gibbs found a crew. From what I could tell though, it wasn't much of one, and neither did Will apparently. There was about ten or so men, or ten or so in a half with the midget. "I think we've got the wrong captain out." I whispered to Will, who just nudged me to be quiet. I looked to Sparrow, seeing him giving me a disapproving look, and then going back to his men. He stopped in front of the last man who had a parrot on his shoulder and began asking him a question, apparently Mr. Cotton, as Gibbs called him, had his tongue cut out, so his parrot talked for him, not well, but it did prove that they were mad. 'Whether that's a good thing or not, is something entirely different.' I mused. One person spoke up, asking the benefits and I couldn't help but chuckle when Sparrow slowly approached the stranger, lifting the hat off their heads. Before Sparrow could really say anything the female slapped him sharply. Will bent down a bit and sarcastically asked if he didn't deserve that, but Sparrow said that he actually did, with the female nodding behind them. "You stole my boat!" she said angrily and stomped her foot. Sparrow held his hands up and said that he borrowed, with the intentions of bringing it back, though he didn't, surprise, surprise. "We'll give you another boat, a bigger one." I piped up smirking, when Will and Sparrow agreed. I then pointed to the boat we were going to be using. "We'll give you that boat." Will said quite pleased to be tormenting Sparrow. At first Sparrow was shocked but quickly agreed seeing the look on Annamaria's face. The crew agreed and they started towards the ship. Gibbs stopped Sparrow saying how it was bad luck to bring a woman on board. "It's worse not to have her onboard, plus Will's sister will be joining us as well." Sparrow whispered tilting his head towards me. With that said the four of us walked down the dock heading towards the ship to set sail.

It was a hard journey, and we were currently in the middle of a storm. The ship was rocking almost violently as the rain pounded down onto the deck, I was currently securing the line when a wave came over us. I don't know how many days we've been out at sea already. I became well acquainted with Annamaria and we shared a cabin together since we were the only females. I became accustomed to working on the ship, sometimes though, I rather just lay flat and do nothing. Sometimes I got away with it, sometimes though Sparrow would step on my stomach and send me a smirk as he went passed, saying if I was going to lay on my back, that I might as well be useful as a whore. That would always tick my off and I would tell him that I would throw my knife into his skull. To which he would just let out a bark of a laugh or grab the front of my shirt pulling me close to him saying that I better be a smart girl, since I didn't know what he could to. To that I always say that he doesn't know a single thing about me. With that I would pull from his grasp and climb up to the main mast and sit up there, keeping watch next to the crow's nest. Currently I was tying one of the main ropes down, standing my ground against the waves that crashed into us, Annamaria was at my side muttering curses under her breath. "So this compass of Sparrows... it doesn't point north, then where does it point to?" I asked her over the raging wind. "From what I've heard, it points to what you want the most." She replied back. After that we went back to work to secure the lines.

We got out of the storm finally but when looked around us, there was nothing but fog. In the distance I could see the wreckage of ships. I stood at Will's side, handing onto the rope as I peered down. "Amazing." I whispered in awe. I stared a bit more before heading off with Gibbs and Will. Gibbs then started to explain how Sparrow came looking for the Aztec gold, when he was the captain of the Black Pearl. That surprised us and we sent each other a knowing look, when Will said that Sparrow forgot to mention that little tidbit with us. Gibbs then started telling us how Sparrow got mutinied and left on an island with only one shot and that after a few weeks without food or water that it starts looking friendly. He then told us how Sparrow escaped and paused when Will asked what the rope was made of that he used to get the sea turtles. Pausing, Gibbs thought about it, meaning that he didn't know. It was then that we all turned around to see Sparrow standing there, looking a bit grim. "Human hair, from my back." He said simply then ordered the crew to let go of the anchor. Gibbs just smiled at what Sparrow said. I could tell it was a lie though, it was too farfetched to be true. Sparrow then looked at us as he spoke his next words. "The Turners and I shall go onto shore." He said and walked away with Gibbs following him.

I looked up at my brother as the two of us stood up. "Sounds like things are finally going somewhere." He murmured. I nodded my head in agreement and the two of us started to get ready to go to shore.
