CHAPTER 3: Escaping

Maria quickly stood up and looked around to see herself sorrounded by soilders in a eighteenth century uniform. She noticed one, in particular, who wasn't looking at her eyes. She looked down to see that her sleep shirt had revealed her black bra.

" Excuse me!" She squealed folding her arms around her chest.

" What is the meaning of this!" A man with a white wig, in a blue uniform demanded.

A fat soilder holding a corset split into fumbled with it. Then proceeded to point to the man, who introduced himself as Jack Sparrow.

" He said he's here to steal a ship." The other explained.

" Hang him!" An old man with a long wig commanded.

Maira's eyes widened, she didn't know they could still do that. Although she didn't know what day it was anyways; judging from the era of their clothes, she didn't know if she was hallucinating or what not.

" Commodore, is this really how you intend to treat my rescuer!" A girl about Maria's age yelped, standing in front of him.

" Your right Elizabeth, I believe a thanks is in order." The Commodore said holding out his hand.

Maria watched Jack eye his hand before shaking it. Just as he was about to pull away, the officer gripped his arm and pulled up his sleeve.

" Had a brush with the West India Trading company I see." The Commodore started. " Pirate!"

" Well, well, if it isn't Jack Sparrow."

" Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack corrected. Maria watched in silence, although it was getting unbearably cold and she was starting to shake.

" I don't see your ship, captain." The Commodore answered.

" I'm in the market, as it were." Jack responded.

" Told you he was lying. These are his sir!" The other guard said handing his affects.

The Commodore inspected and criticized Jack's possessions until he finally said.

" You must be the worst pirate I've ever heard of."

" But you have heard of me." Jack responded, making everyone smirk.

Maria had just enough of these bickering British people. She was so cold she felt as though her lips were about to fall off.

" Excuse me, can I get a towel here?" She asked annoyed.

" Who are you?" The Commodore questioned. " His accomplice?"

" No, I'm here on vacation." Maria explained.

" Your accent is foreign, where are you from?" He demanded.

" I'm from America, and I'd appreciate it if you would use a nicer tone!" Maria snapped, obviously angered.

Jack and the others looked at her in surprise. Obviously no one had ever talked to an officer that way; let alone a Commodore.

" The Americas eh? Where are your papers!?" Commodore demanded, as his face reddened in anger.

" My mom has our passports." Maria explained. Everyone looked around confused at the strange 'passports' which she spoke of.

" How did you get here?" Commodore asked , afraid of sounding ignorant.

" I was on the dock over.." Although Maria's voice died as she looked towards the direction to which she was pointing, only to see rocks.

" Likely story, put her in shackles!" Commodore commanded once again.

" Commodore Norrington, I really must protest!" Elizabeth spoke again.

Maria's eyes widen as the same soldier that was staring at her chest, came over and brutally put heavy iron around her small wrists. Maria focused her attention upon her rescuer as they were conversing something about condemnation.

" Finally, some alone time." Jack said as he wrapped his chained wrists around the girls neck. The guards instantly went into attack mode. Noticing this, Maria instantly hid behind Jack's back.

" Commodore, my affects please!" Jack commanded.

" Commodore!" He demanded pointing his pistol at the girl. Jack heard Maria's sharp intake of breath and gave her a wink. Soon the Commodore handed Elizabeth his affects.

" And my hat!" Jack added, so that hat was handed to her.

" Elizabeth, is it Elizabeth?" Jack whispered into his captors ear.

" It's Miss Swan!" She said coldly.

" Miss Swan if you'd be so kind." Jack replied.

Elizabeth turned and hooked on his belt and hat, as she gave Maria a glare. Maria responded with a helpless shrug, then she turned back towards the officers.

" Commodore, Elizabeth, It's been a pleasure." Jack said as he backed away, forcing Maria to back away as well.

" You will always remember this the way, you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!" He proclaimed throwing Elizabeth back to the group.

Jack then grabbed Maria's waist as he then grabbed onto a rope and kicked its lever. The pair went flying into the air as Maria squealed and hung onto his shoulders. As she tightened her hold on him, she couldn't help but blush at the feel of his muscles.

" OPEN FIRE!" The Commodore yelled as bullets went whizzing past them.

" HEY!" Jack yelled down at the officers.

He then swung himself upon a beam while balancing Maria. Then he ordered her to hang on as she clutched onto him. He threw his chains around a descending rope and they went down. To Maria it felt as though she was zip lining all over again.

Once she felt her feet on the ground, she instinctively grabbed his hand as they went off running. They crossed as stone bridge, once again, dodging bullets. Jack then pulled her behind as statue, she was squeezed beneath him as he mocked the statues position, until the guards were gone. Once the coast was clear, he pulled the sword from beneath the statue and grabbed her hand.

They sneaked into a blacksmith's shop; Jack put a finger to his lips. Maria then noticed that a drunken man was snoring very loudly. Jack crept towards him as he tapped him, then yelled in his face.

Once he was sure he was dead asleep, he then spotted a hammer and tried to separate the chains. Although at no luck, he dropped it in frustration., he removed his hat, wiped is forehead, then turned back to Maria and gave her a dashing smile.

" I'm sorry we've never been introduced." He said.

" I am Captain Jack Sparrow." He introduced with a bow and gently took her hand and kissed it.

" And what is your name fair maiden?"

" Maria Samson." Maria introduced herself as she nervously crossed her arms; she didn't look like a fair maiden.

" Here," Jack said taking off his jacket. " I think you need it more than I do."

" Thanks." Maria said putting it on. Once it was on she looked up only to see Jack's face inches from hers. She quickly moved out of the way so that Jack was looking at a wall.

" So what are we doing here?" She asked.

" We're here to get these chains off!" He said recovering, acting like he was inspecting the wall.

Maria politely bit back a giggle at how serious he was. He then looked from the wall to a wheel of turning swords to a donkey. Maria's eyes widened as he put a scorching hot sword onto the donkey.

Although it made sense as he put the chains upon the rotator and it snapped them loose. He help Maria up as she swung her chains on the rotator. Once she was free she turned back around only to find that Jack was dangerously close to her lips.

" Th-thank you." She stuttered. Maria had, in the past, boyfriends; although wasn't ever comfortable with the intimacies that they would try to achieve.

" Your welcome." He breathed huskily as his arms encircled her waist.

" Not so fast Romeo!" Maria snapped as she quickly maneuvered herself from underneath him; his jacket swaying behind her.

Before Jack could protest there was a jiggle at the handle of the door; out popped a young man. He had dark brown hair and dark brown eyes, his hair slicked back into a ponytail. The man then noticed the donkey as he gently caressed it; calming it into stopping.

" Right where I left you." He said towards the drunk man; while unbuttoning his collar.

He then looked towards the hammer.

" Not where I left you."

He then noticed the hat and then reached out to get it; when a sword stopped it.

" Hands off." Jack warned.

" You!" The young man exclaimed. " Your the pirate they're looking for."
