Dark clouds drifted slowly in front of the moon. No stars glittered in the sky so it was very dark.
The Black Pearl slowly crept into London's harbor unseen and unheard. The cannons were prepared and now to wait for the perfect opportunity.
"Captain, why the sudden idea to attack?" Gibbs asked Jack curiously.
"What, you don't want to?"
"No, Cap'ain, I do. But, there must be a reason."
Jack put a hand on his hip and raised an eyebrow, "Alright. Well, first of all you all deserve some loot. Secondly, someone here has something I want."
Gibbs sighed and stepped off the deck, he knew Jack. There must be something he really wants before he attacks.

Danielle slept peacefully even though it was a hard bed and thin covers for winter.
BOOM
BOOM
BOOM
Danielle awoke with a jolt and ran to the window. Fire and destruction lurked outside.
"Pirates…" Was the only word that escaped her quivering lips.
She quickly slipped on a blue dress and boots then ran outside. It was either kill or be killed she noticed when she got outside.
Pirates ran in every direction emptying houses of their money and slaughtering ruthlessly. Danielle pulled out a pocket knife that she always kept at the top of her boot. Held out in front of her for defense.
'The Governor and Ms. Swann!" Danielle thought as her eyes widened. Surely the pirates would attack there for loot.
She started racing towards the mansion but was abruptly stopped by a pirate.
His eyes were brown but from all the salt water, looked red. His hair was black and streaked with grease and his face dripped with sweat. He made a toothy smirk when she yelped, revealing quite a few missing teeth and one gold one. The rest yellow.
Instinctively, Danielle jabbed the pocket knife through his chest. His eyes widened and he gasped for his last breath as he fell.
Danielle blinked back tears of fright and continued on.
Pirates scattered everywhere. Houses' windows were smashed and jewelry, gold and other prized possessions were stolen. The mansion appeared in the distance, but Danielle was held back from it yet again. Another pirate faced her and smirked. He drew his sword and put it towards her neck, prepared to take her life.
She quickly ducked and tripped him, then ran to try and reach the mansion before any harm was done to the governor and his daughter.
She approached the steps and saw a pirate. He had long black hair braided, his forehead covered by a red bandana and the top of the bandana was covered by a tri cornered hat.
Jack smirked.
"'Ello Love. I've been waiting."
"You're the filthy pirate that caused this, aren't you?!" Danielle demanded.
"Now, now, when you say it like that, it sounds a tad harsh. But, back to the subject," Jack held out his hand, "I believe you have something that I want."
Danielle looked at him as if he were an alien. "And what exactly is that?"
"I believe that you have an amulet. Emerald. Called the Stone of Tathern."
She clutched her necklace and backed up.
"I see you recognize it. That's great, now, if you'd just hand it over…" Jack jumped down from the steps and landed face to face with her.
Danielle quickly swung around a raced down a dirt path that led throughout the city. Although, she had no idea where she was going.
Jack followed easily and some of the other crew joined him.
Suddenly, Danielle was struck by a strange, hard object, like a club, and was knocked into unconsciousness. Next thing she new, she was shoved in a bag and everything went black…
Well that's the end of chappy 1! Hope you liked! Please R&R. Sorry bout the cliff hanger -
