There was hardly anyone on board as they was all probably on the other ship, preparing to find us, little did they know that we wasn't even out of the bay –yet. We ran down the top deck to where the small bunch of sailors was, waving our weapons about.
"Surrender or die!" I shouted as I held up my sword to them and Jack held his pistol. The group of sailors stared, looking a bit confused in what we was telling them to do and Jack warned "Means get off"
The sailors looked at their officer in what to do, and he nodded. That was easy, I thought as they all got into one of the small boats and rowed away shouting to the sailors on the other ship.
"You go into the crow's nest and swing across and get the ship on course and I'll distract them, then swing over by the front of the ship" I explained my plan.
"Aye, good plan love" he agreed
I then went and tied a bit of rope at the railings at the front of the ship, ready for when I was to swing over. I heard the officer shouting to Norrington and his men "The two pirates! They got the ship!"
I ran back to Jack and we watched as they approached. Jack then smiled "See you over there" and he climbed up to the crow's nest as I wandered round the deck. Then the group of marines followed by Norrington came aboard they approached me as I held a smile on my face. Norrington grabbed m arm forcefully and glared "You pirates are so vile. You think you can escape? But you always end up facing the noose anyway"
"Ah, dear Norrie, you describe us so well, you should be a poet" I smiled, pushing my luck. He then forcefully dragged me to the small boat, as we did we walked down some steps, so I put my leg in front of his and he tripped down the stairs, releasing me from his hold. I quickly ran over to the rope as the marines helped him up.
"Get her!" shouted Norrington as I jumped onto the edge of the ship with the rope on my hand. I swung over, just grabbing onto the side as Jack rushed over and helped pull me up. We both smiled as we succeeded and then the marines started to fire at us but they were soon out of range.
"Good show" smiled Jack "We're heading for Tortuga" he added as we stood by the helm, nothing but the sea ahead of us.
"Aye, I could have guessed, to find a crew?" I replied
"That's right my trustful first mate" he smiled
"Excuse me? Who made you Captain?" I questioned
"Well, I did save you…" he answered
"Don't play that card with me, Jack. It doesn't mean this ship is yours" I remarked
"But I have more experience Captain Rosie" smirked Jack
"Don't ever call me that again" I warned
"What Captain? I guess that means you are first mate then" he teased
"I think you know what was about, Jack" I glared
"It's Captain, actually" he grinned
"Same to you" I replied
"Fine! We're both be the Captains then!" remarked Jack
"Fine" I muttered, and was about to open my mouth in protest but Jack smiled "Nope, two Captains that's final"
I couldn't believe the day I was having, my ship got sunk, then I'm about to get hanged, then escape with a fellow pirate, commandeered a ship of the fleet and now I was one of the two Captains on one ship, come adventure.
"So, id Beckett brand you as well?" asked Jack
"Oh" I answered "I was branded a long time ago, I didn't know freedom of speech would make you an outlaw"
"Aye, I didn't know doing the right thing would make me one either, but I 'ave no desire to return to that life when I got all the freedom a man could want" Jack smiled as he looked out into the sea.
"But the mutiny that must have been terrible, I couldn't imagine my crew doing that to me" I replied
"Aye that it was. All that I done to get my ship back and then it gets taken away, but I will get it back, mark my words" he explained
"They're marked" I smiled "I don't know how though, if the tales are true and there is a curse"
"There will be an opportune moment" he remarked
