Hi guys! Yay! More reviews! I even got an old reader to find my story! I'm so happy! . But I will require more reviews for then next chapter. The flow sloweddown alot. lol. w/o further ado...
The next morning Jack and Terra were tangled around each other as the slept. There faces were dangerously close. Terra opened her eyes to greet the new day...the sun light...and Jack's face. She leapt up.
"Jack..." she took a few deep breathes.
He opened an eye.
"wha...?" he asked.
"Jack...how long were you sleeping?"
"Since you did love I..." then he went up. "Oh my God! The boat!"
Then as if on cue the boat hit something that sent them flying back.
"What was that?" Terra asked as they went up to the front of the boat.
There was the dock of port royal. They ran into the island. Literally. The boat's hule was smashed into a part of the dock and was taking in water.
"well that's not good..." Jack said.
Terra smacked him in the head.
"No kidding shorty! This isn't our boat! The government's gonna rip us apart!"
Jack sighed.
"You worry too much."
He grabbed the rope of the ship and swung down to the dock. The boat was sinking pretty fast for a big boat.
"Come on Terra love." he yelled up to her. "Grab me bag an' come on."
Terra disappeared for a moment the reappeared with the bag. She came down next to Jack. He grinned.
"Got me stuff then?" he asked as she nodded.
They went down the dock area that Jack had been what felt like so long ago. The man at the end stared at him with his log book in hand.
"Boy?" he called out. "Is that your father's ship?"
Jack laughed and strutted over to where he stood.
"No it be mine." he sighed.
"Then I'll need a shilling for docking and your name sir."
Jack searched his pockets. No money. He stared at Terra and gave a laugh.
"Got any money with ya love?" he asked.
Terra nodded and pulled out 10 shillings and handed them to Jack.
"3 shillings and we forget the name?" he asked a grin spreading across his face.
"Did we do business before?" he asked.
Jack laughed.
"Maybe..." Jack mumbled.
The man wrote something down on his log.
"Alright Mr. smith go on ahead."
Jack nodded and he and Terra made there way past him.
"Not that the ship 'ill be there for long." he mumbled.
Terra giggled and nodded.
They made there way into the city. People bustled by.
"Jack...what town are we in?" she asked as they passed a black smith shop.
"Port Royal." he said.
Jack went up to the window and peered in the window of the shop. A man sat in the corner with an empty bottle of something in his hands. It wasn't Will though. He knew the guy as the man for when the last time he was there knocked him out with glass. There was no Will though. The store wasn't open yet.
"We're taking a trip to the Commodore's office. "he said
"The who?"
"He's the boss...the general." he said making his way down the road.
Terra went with him as the morning sun hit them. It was a nice day. It wasn't a horrible rainy day. But nice. Terra couldn't believe they were in port royal. Here she was finally free of her mother's officers. Here she could go anywhere she wanted and be happy. But...she sighed. Her mom might still come. It was not far from the town she came from...only an island over. Her heart sunk. Jack went into a big building where people flowed in and out.
"You can wait here if you want Terra."
She nodded. she wanted to see some more of the town anyway.
Jack went into the building and snuck up the stairs as many men came pouring out of them. They were talking about government things that bored him so he kept going not bothering to hear them. He entered the door on the right and let himself in. There was a large office with a wooded desk and a man sitting at it. He had his head down and didn't see his visitor. Jack went up to him.
"Commodore." he said.
The man looked up.
"who are you?" he asked placing his quill down on the desk.
"Now Commodore." Jack said. "You don't remember me?"
"No...I don't." he looked slightly annoyed.
Jack grinned.
Good.
"Well..." he went to a chair. "I'm here on business you see."
"Business?"
"Yeah...I'm trying to find the house of Will Turner? I've got a message for him and his wife."
"Really?" he looked interested now. "What's the message?"
Jack froze.
"Oh...confidential." he said.
"Oh come on...no message no address."
"well it's...uh..."
suddenly a man popped his head in the room. Jack knew him immediately. It was Elizabeth's father.
"Commodore?" he said. "An illegal ship was docked in the port and is taking water. we need your men to help us get it out."
The commodore got to his feet.
"I'll be right back." he said as he left.
Jack went over to the drawers and started going through them. They were all neat and had names of every and all kind on them.
"Turner...Turner..." he said as he went through them.
Finally he found it. A file all about Will. He stuffed it in his shirt. Then he stared at the door. Too risky. Then he saw the window. He peered out it. There was a open sun roof on the house below. The window wasn't that big but he might fit. He opened it and started to go out. When the door to the office opened. Commodore stared at him.
"Where're you going boy?" he barked.
Jack sighed.
"Again Commodore ya failed to catch me. So remember this as they day that you came this close to again catching captain Jack sparrow. Ta."
He jumped out the window leaving the poor commodore very very confused.
Jack fell threw the sun roof and onto somebody's bed. There wasn't anybody there though. Jack went to his feet and found the door out of there and into a deserted road. He could hear the commodore screaming at his men from the open window.
"...He's about 17 and very scrawny and short. Very short. He goes by Jack sparrow though I'm not sure why...he took the file on elizabe...a file from me and I need it back. Bring him back to me! Now go!"
The sound of heavy footsteps banged over head as Jack grounded.
"short?" he said to himself. "scrawny? The bastard."
He went out into the road itself and couldn't see Terra.
"Damn girl had to move." he mumbled.
The commodore's men were coming out of the building when Jack went across the road and down another way. He heard voices coming from the end of it.
"so...what's a pretty gil' like you doin; goin' 'round all by yur self?"
"I'm not by myself." answered another voice that sounded like a snap. "I'm with a friend."
"A boyfriend?"
"No, His name's Jack though."
Jack? Jack knew who it was. It was Terra.
"so why don' you come back to our place with us then eh love?"
Jack had an idea. He strutted into the road where a group of boys all much bigger then him self at the time were crowded around Terra.
"There you are." he said.
"Jack." she said.
"Oh thaat's Jack?" the tallest boy said and went up to him. "Whatcha want shrimp?"
"Well..." he said slyly giving Terra a grin. "I'd like me girlfriend."
"girlfriend?" the others asked including Terra.
"Tha's right. Me girl. I had ta do sumthin' and I left her ou'side the building...why? You don' wanna keep her now do ya?"
The boy closest to him laughed.
"Wanna fight for it shrimp?" he asked looking down at Jack.
Jack grinned.
"All depends...can we use anything we want?" he asked.
"Yeah...so let's go." he said putting up his fists.
Jack pulled his sword and pointed it in his face. The boy took a step back as the others watched all very excited by this new kid with a sword.
"Now..." he said. " If ya don' leave I'll be forced to cut off a very important body part that ya may need sometime very very soon. Ya savvy?"
The boy stared at the sword tip and at Jack and then at his friends then made a break for it down to the main road followed by his gang. Jack slipped the sword back in his sword holder. Jack stared at Terra.
"Got what I needed." he said showing her the file.
Terra couldn't help but grin.
"you're something else Jack spallers. Not like any boy I've ever met."
"...Well I'm not really a kid...so that would make cense." he thought.
"Well we're we going now shorty?" she asked.
Jack opened the file. There were tons of papers. And a picture of Elizabeth cut into a heart. He searched through paper after paper until he came across an address. They had moved all the way to another part of the island. Jack closed the file.
"Come on." he said. "we got a lot of goin' to do."
yay! Now it's time to rev up the review button all! Let's go. Until next time. o ya.
