Fearless
The rest of the trip to London went on without issue; everyone was scared of me, which was fine with me. On the second Day I woke up along with the sun as I got onto the deck I saw London from a distance and I smiled.
"See I told you I would get you here in two days." I turned to see Marcus, Odette's son standing behind me. I smiled at him and nodded.
"That you did, and you've kept your word. When will we reach the harbor?" I asked as I leaned against the railing.
"Soon, in a couple of hours at the latest." I looked to see the ships coming in and out of the docks, I looked out at the ocean and I saw a ship just sitting there, other ships went past it as if it wasn't there. I smiled, that was my ship with my husband on it. I stroked my key as it hung from my neck.
"So what is your business in London?" Marcus asked watching me.
"Seeing old friends." I said, it wasn't a complete lie. He nodded in understanding.
"Emily?"
"Yes?"
"You're a pirate aren't you?" I sighed and nodded yes. He looked out at the ocean.
"What's it like to be a pirate?" He asked turning towards me, and I only shrugged.
"It's adventurous, but it can be hard. You kill people and steal and plunder, but you get to be free, free of the world and it's confinements, and there is nothing in the world better then that."
"You know when I was a lad my Mother would tell my tales of this pirate that had taken care of her when she was a lass, the pirate was a female and known to be the fiercest female pirate ever. It was you wasn't it?" I looked up at him and nodded.
"Aye it was."
"Then how are you still alive?"
"Immortality." I responded simply, what more could I say? His eyes widened in shock and he said in a shaking voice.
"You're joshing me right?" I laughed and shook my head no.
"You don't kid about that."
"Wow what's it like to be immortal?" I shrugged.
"It's just like being alive, except when I fight I know I won't die."
"Wait doesn't that make it kind of unfair of what you did to Neil?" Neil was the man I killed and I shrugged.
"Even if I could die I would still have beat him, I'm a very good fighter."
"That you are." I laughed and soon enough we were docked.
"Well boys it's been a pleasure sailing with you." I said as I walked down the ramp, Marcus next to me. The crew murmured their agreement before wandering off to explore the city. I turned to Marcus and gave him a hug; we had become friends over the past few days.
"Tell your Mother I said hi." I said as we pulled away and he smiled and nodded.
"Be careful Emily." He warned me as I started walking off, I turned and smirked at him and replied.
"When am I not careful?" He laughed and waved goodbye to me which I returned. I walked around the deck searching for the pearl, if I could find it, it would mean they are here, well of course they are here I saw the Dutchman when we came in. I found it funny how Marcus had stared at it without realizing it. Finally coming to the far left of the docks I saw black sails and I smirked she was here. I walked up the ramp and onto the deck, it was empty.
"Anyone here?" I called out hoping someone would hear me and tell me where everyone else is.
"Emily?" I spun around and came face to face with.
"Annamaria!" I yelled happily as we hugged.
"Emily how did you get here?" Annamaria asked looking around and I said.
"Long story, where is everyone else." Annamaria rolled her eyes and huffed.
"They are all out at The Pirate Pub, I was chosen to stay behind and watch the ship, at least you will stay with me." I looked down guiltily, and I heard her sigh.
"You want to go and find the map with everyone else don't you?" I looked up and nodded, she smirked and beckoned for me to go.
"Go on then, have fun, have fun for me, I'll see you when you get back." I smiled and said as I ran down the ramp.
"Thanks Annamaria I owe you." She laughed and yelled.
"You bet you do!" I walked out of the docks and soon I was in the market place, I looked around for pirate Pub, a famous pirate lair that the king had tried to gain access to for years, but to no avail. Soon enough I found it, sadly though there was a pirate guard in front of it, they made sure only pirates went into the pub so soldiers wouldn't get in. I walked over and said.
"I need to get in!" The man smirked at me looking me over.
"Well I am sorry miss but only pirates." I glared and spat at him.
"I am a pirate, I am Emily Turner, you would probably know me better as Emily James." The man laughed a cold laugh.
"Emily James died what a hundred years ago."
"See I did but then I came back and got immortality and here I am, now let me in." I said getting angrier by the second.
"Nice tale Mrs. Turner, I'll let you in if you persuade me enough." He said raising his eyebrows suggestively and I looked at him in disgust, now he is just pissing me off. I grabbed my sword swiftly and brought it to his throat.
"Here's persuasion, you don't let me in and I will kill you, you let me in and I won't kill you, what's it going to be?" I smirked as he backed into the wall from fear, he nodded his head and I smiled.
"Good boy." I lowered my sword and walked in to the pub, there were two levels to it, the lower one was the bar while the upper one was like a VIP, you had to have good reasons to get up there. I felt eyes on me as I walked around, men looking at me with lust in their eyes, it almost made me sick. I discreetly made my way over to the stairs and when no one was looking I quietly walked up them. Once I got to the door that led to the upper level another guard was there. I sighed maybe I should go about this with a different approach then the last one. So I pulled my coat closer to my to hid my weapons and I smiled broadly as I walked up to the man, I could see him watching me with interest as I smiled up at him.
"No one's allowed up here miss." I smirked and moved closer to the man.
"Who said I was here to go up there, what if I wanted to see you hot shot." I nearly gagged, but I had to keep the facade up. He smirked and said.
"Well I don't blame you I am pretty handsome for my age." I nodded enthusiastically, even though I really was about to puke. I put my arms around his neck and started kissing his neck, while holding my nose, he smelled like he hadn't bathed in moths, he smelled worse the Jack did on a bad day. When I felt him go relax I brought my leg up and kicked him in his groin, he kneeled over and pain as I stepped away from him I then pushed his back and he went tumbling down the stairs. I heard a big noise as he must have crashed into something, I went to the door and threw it opened, and I snuck in and locked it just in case the man came back. Up here was where the Pirate Lord of the Northern Sea's resided, and I knew Jack would have to be here. I walked down the hallway to a door that was at the end of it. It was opened a crack and I put my eye to it to see a huge room with a table in the middle of it. I opened it a little more to see many men standing around, and there was a man standing in the middle of the room talking and everyone was listening intently. Something that caught my eye was the behind the man was most of the pearl's crew, they were all tied up. I inwardly cursed and wondered what Jack did now. I opened the door all the way and quietly snuck in, no one notices me as the man keeps talking, I can tell by the way he is dressed that he isn't a pirate lord, more likely a second in command. I sneak my way to the front and I can hear the man loud and clear.
"You know the penalty for sneaking in her Jack Sparrow that is death." Jack smirks and replies easily.
"Yes but I can't die mate." The man then turns to Elizabeth and says.
"I know but she can." He then grabs his swords and Elizabeth only glares back, she has too much pride to beg for her life. I am by now in front of the crowed as no one has seemed to notice me, I bend down and put my hand into my right boot and grab out my dagger. The man is near Elizabeth and is about to bring his sword into her, but I am quicker. With speed and precise aim I throw the dagger and it pierces his heart. Elizabeth gives a small scream as the man falls forward, dead. Everyone looks around, still not noticing me. I rolled my eyes, daft people. Even the Pearl hasn't noticed me, daft pirates.
"Who did that?" I man shouts and others joined in. I stepped forward and everyone goes quiet and the Pearl's crew looks at me with wide eyes, especially Elizabeth and Jack. I bring my sword out and say in a clear strong voice.
"Who wants to play?" The battle begins; I jump up on the table and cut the ropes off of Jack and Elizabeth before jumping down to fight. They then cut of the robes of everyone else and soon it's a full out brawl going on. I was just finishing off a man when I someone grabs my arm, I turn to see its Jack.
"We're leaving love." He shouted over the noise, he leads me to a window and I see several of the crew jumping out of it, and into hay.
"Ladies first." Jack says before shoving me out the window, I glare up at him as I lay in a heap in hay. I stand up and move out of the way as Jack jumps out of the window. Once he got out he came over to me and pulled me to him. I smiled as I hugged him back; once we pulled away from each other he gave me a genuine smile and said.
"I've missed you love."
"You too Jack, do you have the map?" I asked hoping all of that was for something. He nods and let's go of me as we all start walking back to the docks. I turn to see Elizabeth staring at me and I walk over to her and I give her a hug, what she is my friend. She hugs me back and we start walking back to the docks trailing behind everyone else.
"You know this is the second time that you have saved me." I laughed and responded.
"I didn't know we were counting." I said jokingly and she stops and glares at me.
"Emily this is serious, you have saved me twice and I haven't returned the favor."
"You don't need to you're my friend Elizabeth, and that's what friends do."
"You shouldn't have saved me from the wave, I deserved it." I then glared at her.
"No you didn't and I did it because I knew I wouldn't die, I would just hang out in the ocean until I arrived somewhere on land, Elizabeth don't feel like this is your fault." I said as I put a friendly arm around your shoulder.
"Will, will be glad to see you, he has been worried sick every since the storm." Elizabeth said as we walked our arms on each other shoulders in a friendly way. A pang of happiness went through my body when she said that. Soon we made it to the Pearl, and we cast off and soon we were in the ocean, not too far off from the Dutchman.
"So what does the clue say?" I asked as I stood next to Jack, Elizabeth on his other side. He grabbed it from a pocket somewhere in his coat and opened it. He raised an eyebrow before reading it out loud.
"Go to a land that had been abandoned for decades, where a famous king and captain have come from, you will find my on the kings throne." We all looked confused.
"Well that's a strange one." Jack said as we sailed along side the Dutchman.
"Yes we will really have to think about this one, do you have any ideas Emily?" I didn't hear her as I looked over at the Dutchman.
"Emily?" I finally turned her and said.
"What?" She only rolled her eyes as Jack smirked.
"You know she can't think her brain is already too filled with thoughts of William." I blushed which only made Jack laugh harder and Elizabeth playfully punched him and motioned for me to go over to the other ship. I smiled back at her before swinging over to the Dutchman, only a couple of people where on the deck and they took no notice of me as I walked to my cabin. I opened the door quietly and saw Will, he had his back to me and he was at the map table looking over them. I saw him look at something and then he dropped his quill and turned hesitantly around and when he saw me he beamed and ran over to me and pulled me to him. I returned it as I snuggled into his chest, soaking all of him into me.
"I've missed you." He whispered as he pulled away slightly to look into my eyes. I smiled and said back.
"I've missed you as well. How did you know I was here?" I asked as I stroked his scar while he held me tightly.
"Jack's compass, he gave it to me to find you. And for the past several hours it's been pointing at London, and just now it was pointing behind me." I smiled, I knew how Jack's compass worked, it pointed to the thing you want most in the entire world, and Will wanted me.
"It was pointing at me?" I asked as I ran my hands through his long hair. He gave me a confused look and nodded and said.
"Of course where else would it point?"
"I don't know." I said as I pulled him down into a kiss, which he returned. He pulled me up and I put my arms around his waist as he took me to our bed.
"I love you." He murmured into my ear as his hands roamed my body.
"I love you two." As I pulled at his shirt.
Hours later he held me as he ran his hands through my hair.
"Emily?" I looked up at him and he continued.
"Don't so that to me again." I smiled and nodded giving him a soft kiss.
"I promise." I lay back down on his chest as I stroked his scar, just enjoying being with the man I love.
"You know darling I have never been that scared before." I raised an eyebrow and replied.
"Really?"
"Only once before when Elizabeth was taken away by Barbossa back when we lived in Port Royal."
"Port Royal." I murmured.
"Tell me what Port Royal was like again." He laughed and nodded.
"Well I grew up there, after I was found by Elizabeth I was taken into the governor's care. And at 16 I became an apprentice to Mr. Brown the blacksmith, Elizabeth and I had many adventures there as children. It's a pity about what happened to it." I looked up at him and asked.
"What did happen to it?"
"About two years after I became the Dutchman, a huge pirate attack happened there and it became abandoned, and no one has tried to restore it since, it's a ghost town." A ghost town, how sad.
"That's sad." I said voicing my thoughts.
"Yes you think a town that had once been the home of a captain and a king would stand up against pirates fairly well. What he said sounded familiar, were had I heard those words. Suddenly everything made sense and I sat up quickly pulling the sheet up with me. Will looked at me alarmed and said.
"Emily are you alright love?" I nodded and smiled at him.
"Yes, I am you just told me everything I needed to know." I kissed him quickly and he still looked confused.
"What are you talking about love?"
"I know where we are heading next."
"Where?" He asked in curiously.
"Port Royal."
(Please R and R! I do not own Pirates.)
