Hey guys! Sorry it took so long to update the chapter! I've been busy later. So w/o any furrther ooooooooooof this...the chapter...
The screams of woman came from the windows of the houses around them. Jack stared at them. Tears poured from there eyes as they screamed in terror. Jack had never noticed them because he was usually very drunk.
"Alright...Will and I will go this way. Jack you stay put." the Commodore barked as Jack scowled.
"I'll do wha' eva' I want ya prissy fu..."he snapped as Will shook his head and took off with the rest of the commodore's men.
Jack sighed.
"Just you wait..." he mumbled. "When I get back ta me regular size I'll whoop yer ass..."
He continued down the dark street. There were no signs of pirates anywhere. This search was useless. His crew was too good and too smart to be caught by the Commodore and the rest of those idiots...
...He had also thought they were smart enough to follow his orders and never attack port royal.
Oh wait...they thought he was dead...
...Annamaria was in charge now...
...they were doomed.
Jack wandered down a dark alley. His only light was from a dim torch that burned in the corner. It flicked happily against the damp walls. He went through cautiously. Suddenly there was thump beyond the safety of the light and into the unknown darkness.
Ya know that irresistible urge all teenagers get as some point or another to be brash and ignore all reasonable instinct and fight and act brash...
...well Jack felt just like that. He drew his sword and went toward the sound.
"who's there?" he barked.
The noise stopped. Jack felt eyes on him. His heart beat loudly in his head. The person got closer.
"Don't make me stab ya cause I will!" he said.
A voice laughed.
"Yer a kid...I'd like ta see ya try an' kill me...a full fledged pirate." the man emerged from the shadows.
It was Gibbs.
Gibbs stared blankly at him. Jack's heart sank. He didn't know who he was. So he had to act tough. He lifted the sword and pointed it at him.
"I will!" he threatened,
"Annamaria wasn't lying." Gibbs said his voice losing all toughness.
"Wha...Stop stalling!" he barked.
"Jack it's me!" Gibbs said. "Don' ya remember?"
"O' course I do!" Jack put his sword in his loop. "But how da ya know it's me?"
"I met ya when you were 17 remember?" Gibbs laughed getting closer to his life long friend.
"Oh yeah. But why are you here?"
So Gibbs said the long story of how Annamaria had figured out what happened after being attacked by the pirates who did what they did to him. They knew he'd go look for Will so they came there,
:Wow... Jack said as they left onto the main road. "We gotta get back to the ship then!"
Suddenly torches shadows grew on the walls and the sound of men coming grew. The Commodore's voice stood out from the group. Jack drew his sword but Gibbs shoved him into a corner.
"They can' know who ya are Jack." he said. "So play along with wha' I'm abou' ta do!"
The minute the man appeared around the corner Gibbs grabbed Jack and put his sword to his throat. The men stopped when they saw him.
"WAN' ME TA KILL 'IM?" Gibbs roared at the men who began to lower there swords.
"He's just a boy." the Commodore replied coolly. "what do you want from him?"
"Me ticket back ta me ship!" he spat taking a step back and tugging Jack along with him. "Now don' follow me when I run or I kill 'im...clear?"
"Crystal."
"Gibbs it may be a trap." Jack whispered but he ignored him.
Gibbs drew a deep breathe and let go of Jack and ran. That's when Jack saw all the men waiting at the end of the alley he went to help Gibbs but the Commodore put his hand on his shoulder.
"Will take Jack back to the mansion." he said coolly. "He doesn't need to see any pirate blood tonight."
Will nodded and began leading him back to the house.
"Will I can't back!" Jack complained. "Wha' if they kill Gibbs?"
"I won't let tha' happen." Will said opening the door.
Terra was waiting for them. Terra looked tired and worried.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I have ta go back." Will explained. "You and Jack stay here with Elizabeth until I come back."
"But Will..."
"No Jack." Will knew he was treating him like a kid but right now he had the instincts of 1 so he needed to be treated like it.
Suddenly the door opened and a man appeared. Rain had started falling so he was soaking wet.
"Master Will." he said between gasps of breathe. "They've rounded up all the pirates. They had to shoot 1 though. Anyway there captain is to be hung tomorrow but..." he hesitated. "She keeps asking for you."
Will looked at Jack who turned pale and followed him out. Jack watched him go.
"Jack..." Terra asked quietly. "...you know them don't you?"
"There me crew." he said.
"so you really are a pirate..." she sunk into a chair. "What are you gonna do?"
"Hopefully Will can help but until then..." he shrugged. "...I dunno."
Will arrived at the prison cell. The whole crew of the Black Pearl were in the cells screaming and yelling. Will could see Gibb's outline on the floor of the cell. Blood was pooled around him. He was the 1 they shot no doubt. He approached the last cell door where Annamaria was being held all by herself. She looked up from her spot on the floor and she jumped by the gate that separated them. She clutched it. Will could make out the cuts and scars gashed across her face.
"Will..." she whispered. "Where's Jack?"
"You know?" he lowered his voice so not to be overheard by the guards who stared at them sternly.
"Yeah yeah." she said with a wave of her hand. "He's a kid...is he here? Is he alive?"
"Yeah he's been with me. Did you come here fo' him?"
She sighed.
"Ay...he's alive. Thank God." she said.
"Anna." he asked. "They plan on hanging you."
"I know." she hissed angrily. "They already shot poor Gibbs. He might not make it threw the night."
"I know. Don' worry I'll be back. We'll get you and yer crew outta here."
She nodded showing her thanks and he left back to the house. He arrived to Jack asking him tons of questions. Jack took Terra and him into another room.
"...so we need to get them outta there?" Terra asked after hearing the story. "But how?"
Jack laughed and wagged his pointer finger in her face.
"Not ta worry love." he said cockily leaning back and placing his feet on the Commodore's table. "It's wha' Will and I do best. Don' worry yo pretty head ova' it."
"But I wanna help!" she pleaded.
"We could use her." Will pointed out.
Jack sighed.
"I guess but you're not ta get in the way...ya savvy?"
"Yeah yeah fine." she mumbled.
"Now come on!" Jack said. "We got a rescue mission on our hands!"
It was much later that night. The noise in the roads had died down and all signs of a pirate attack were no longer there. The moon has risen shedding its milky light over the sleepy city. Jack sat anxiously by the window for Will to give the signal. The signal that said the Commodore was in the mansion and on his way to bed. Jack stayed crouched in his position and could see into the den where Will waited. Terra was directly behind Jack and equally well hidden. Suddenly Will looked up and started to talk to somebody. Jack couldn't hear them but he guessed it was the Commodore. Will flipped the page of the book in his lap.
The signal.
Jack went to his feet and Terra crept up and out the door. The night was cool and the promise of rain hung in the air. Jack looked left and right and waited a moment until Will came out.
"Wow he can talk..." will said. "About weird stuff too. Like suitors."
"gaaaaaaay." Jack said. "Now come on let's go."
"There at the jail right?" Terra asked.
Will nodded.
"But there are REAL criminals there too!" she said. "What if we let 1 of them out by mistake!"
"What did I say about getting in the way?" Jack asked.
"I'm not getting in the way!"
"Yes but yo' talking far too much. Now come on!"
They journeyed to the jail house that look particularly cool and lonely at night. Jack fingered his sword then journeyed inside. The dank walls were mold covered and gross as a guard slept soundly at the gate. Jack sighed at the pathetic lack of security and kept going through the dank hallways until he approached the stairs that lead downward into the jail cells. The door was already half opened so he let himself in. He went down quietly and popped his head around the corner. He looked back at Will and Terra.
"Will." he instructed. "Go an' watch tha' guard an' make sure he doesn' wake up. Terra...patrol the hallway. Make sure tha' nobody's coming."
They nodded and left Jack to his work. He crept down the cell way until he reached the final 1 the 1 Will said held Annamaria. He tapped on the bars and heard her stir from her sleep. Her figure was sprawled out over the dirty floor as she cracked open an eye to get a better look at whoever was stupid enough to wake a pirate from her slumber.
"Good morning starshine!" he said brightly.
(A/N ----I couldn't help it! Willy Wonka and him are the same person in a sense...blushes never mind.)
"Jack?" she asked groggily as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"The 1 and only!" he said.
"I have never been so happy to see you alive!" she nearly yelled then reached through the bars and slapped him.
"Wha' was tha' for?" he barked rubbing his face.
"Fo' scaring me!" she snapped. "Now are ya gonna ge' me outta here or no'?"
"Patience!" he snapped as he grabbed his sword and banged on the lock.
The sound of metal awoke the pirates around them and they all popped there heads through the slim jail cell bars to get a better look at there rescuer. They were all slightly surprised it was some kid.
"Wha' s that kid doin' cap'in?" 1 man asked licking the edge of his dagger. "Want we should take care o' 'im?"
"Shut yo' bloody mouth!" she spat gripping the bars. "Hurry Jack." she whispered.
He nodded until finally the large lock fell to the floor. They waited in silence for a moment to see it anybody would come then Annamaria got out. She grabbed the sword the guards had too from her and stood up in the corner and grinned at Jack.
"How we gonna get the rest o' them out?" she asked slipping the sword into the place it went on her pants.
Jack grinned and grabbed the keys off the wall next to her and dangled them in front of her nose. She frowned.
"Why didn' ya just use 'um on my cell?" she asked as he began to unlock the doors.
"Anna I'm faar too lazy to go pickin' up keys on walls when I could jus' bash the bloody lock in."
Annamaria just sighed and shook her head as they let all there crew mates out. He reached Gibbs solitary cell and went to his friend.
"Still got it in ya Jack ya bloody bastard." he said with a laugh of relief and a wince of pain.
Jack grinned and hoisted him to his feet.
"I'd carry ya bu' I think it might kill me." Jack said whipping some of Gibbs's blood off his pants,
Gibbs laughed.
"O' course!" he said jollily. "Now le's go, There's a cold rum on board the ship wi' my name on 'er."
Jack sighed at the thought of the sweet liquid but continued on. Annamaria and him led the group upstairs. Though the most of the crew had already started on there way to the ship shooting Jack confused looks.
"Jack?" Annamaria asked after looking at him for a moment.
"Ye' love?"
"Ya...ya..."
"wha'?" he asked frustratedly. "spit it out'!"
"Ya got a zit!" she half yelled and half laughed. "Righ' there!"
Jack scowled.
"Shut yo' fu..." he started but suddenly Annamaria leapt in front of him and grabbed a person.
"Think ya' can spy on pirates?" she snarled. "I'll show ya..."
She raised her sword to slit her throat but Jack stopped her.
"No Anna!" he said placing his hand on hers. "This is me friend Terra. I though' I said ta keep watch downstairs!"
"I did." she said breaking free of Anna's grasp. "Bu' I heard ya guys get out so I came up here to wait for you.:
"Oh."
There was silence. Not the good kind either. Like the awkward kind. Annamaria put away her sword and Jack sighed.
"Where's Will?" he asked Terra who eyed Annamaria with much dislike.
"I'm right here." Will was leaning on the door frame and smiled, "Nice ta see ya again Anna."
She nodded.
"Well I guess you guys better go." he said.
"But Will!" asked Terra. "What about you?"
"I have ta stay and take care of Elizabeth." he said sadly. "Don't get me wrong. I would love to go out there with you..."
"...but yo' married." Jack said sarcastily as Will crack a half smile. "He's half pirate ya know. But he ignores it. Well bleh on ya Will. Now come on...le's get back to the ship."
"Wait she's coming?" Terra and Annamaria said simultaneously.
Jack nodded.
"Yup." he draped his arms around there shoulders. "But don' worry you'll learn ta love each other. That or 1 o' ya will ge' killed. So come on."
...that's all for now! Now review or it'll b longer then last time for a new chapter! Alright! Well um until next time! >
