Chapter 11:
Trapped
Will then began to swing his sword at me aggressively but I stopped his sword with mine. I then smile and hit his sword really hard that it falls to the ground. I then kick it away and point my sword at his throat. He then looks down at the ground and I smile and whisper "Pirate."
I then look at Elizabeth and say "Prepare the long boat!" She then shakes her head at me and raises her voice, as she answers, "I won't leave you!" I then sigh and say "Listen, luv. Go get the long boat I just need to talk to this whelp here." Elizabeth then sighs and I whisper, "I'll be fine, I promise." She then looks at me and smiles and runs towards the location of the long boat.
I then turn to Will and stop smiling. He then gives me a dirty look and says "Kill me now, if you're planning on doing it later." I then chuckle and put my sword away and say "I'm not planning on killing you eunuch. I have no intention of wasting a perfectly good blacksmith." Will then crosses his arms across his chest and shrugs and says "When did this happen?"
I then grin and reply "Well correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that you have always been a black smith."
Will then rolls his eyes and takes a step closer to me and says angrily "Not that, Jack! When did she fall in love with you?" I smile and remembered that Elizabeth did tell me that she loved me. I then looked at Will sharply and answered, "Not sure mate. That doesn't really matter to me anyways."
Will then took a step closer to me and shouted at me angrily "It doesn't matter to you Jack? She has given you her heart and you don't bloody care?" My eyes widened and I responded, "Hold on just a tick. I didn't mean that! You bloody whelps don't let anyone finish talking." I then took a step back and continued "I meant I don't care when it happened, what I care about is that it did."
Will then sighed and looked down at the ground and said "Oh. Well Jack I suppose that you two are going to be together now?" I then shrug and say "Anything is possible mate. As long as I have her and the sea, I'm happy." Will then smiles and I could sense some kind of plan just popped into his head.
He then asked me "And what if she wants to live in Port Royal?" My eyes squinted and then he continued, "What will you do? Choose Elizabeth, a Governors daughter, or the sea?" I then looked down confused as Will then began to chuckle "You'd choose the sea wouldn't you Jack?"
I smiled and then whispered, "If that situation would present itself, then I will answer that question. But I, being a pirate, live in the moment. And you mate are talking hick knack. Elizabeth would never choose her life in Port Royal." Will then smiles and says, "Yes, but her father would want her to live there. Do you actually believe that she would abandon her father for a life at sea with a pirate?"
I then sigh and began to contemplate the situation that Will just presented. I then sighed and heard Elizabeth yell, "Jack, the boat is ready". I smiled and then grabbed Will by his shirt and pushed him forward. I then yelled at him "I guess, I was saved by me heart." Will then managed to move away from me, and then screamed at me "You are the most despicable man that I have ever met."
I then chuckle and ask frustrated "Why do I keep explaining these things to you? I am a pirate, being despicable is my calling." I then walked closer to him and whispered trying to make him envious "Besides, when Elizabeth kissed me I bet she didn't think I was despicable. Think about it mate." Will then bit his lip and raised his fist and punched me straight in the nose.
He then walked towards the longboat while saying to me "And yes, you deserved that one." I the grabbed me nose and cracked it while saying "I'm not so sure" and then I followed him towards the long boat.

A couple of moments later we got out of the long boat and got on to the H.M.S Dauntless. I smiled at Elizabeth and then walked over to her, but then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look at the hand but then someone grabbed my hands and put them behind me. I then felt something around my wrists. I sighed and realized that shackles had been placed around my hands.
I then turned around to see Norrington there, and he then said "I guess today will be known as the day you almost escaped". I then grinned and looked at Elizabeth who now was covering her mouth in shock. Elizabeth then ran up to Norrington and shouted, "I demand that you let go him!" James then began to chuckle he then grabbed me by my shoulders and shoved me towards the stairs.
I then saw Governor Swann and remembered that he said that he did not hate pirates. I then tried to hold my ground and I said to him "Governor… say something". He then smiled and said "James, I demand that you release Jack Sparrow." James then released me and I began to grin at the Governor realizing that maybe he did start to warm up to me.
But then I felt other hands around grab my shoulders and so I looked back to face them. I then saw the Governor and he screamed, "I want to take him to cell myself!" I then frowned and realized that maybe he did not warm up to me. Elizabeth then walked up to her father and yelled, "Father! Please release him." I then noticed that she was crying and then I heard a voice say, "He is bound by law." I looked to my left and saw William there giving me a dirty look. The Governor then dragged me down the stairs and he slammed the door. In the mean time on deck Elizabeth was demanding that James would let her through. But Norrington would not budge, so Elizabeth then began to cry and she ran away towards the side of the ship looking at the waves as the ship began to sail.

Below deck I was taken to the jail cell and was slammed into one. I sat in the cell looking at the bars and at Elizabeth's father who was on the other side of them. I titled my hat forward because I could not stand to look at him anymore. He then said to me sternly "Listen pirate. I mean you no harm…." I then chuckled and said while grinning "Nice way of showing it. I actually trusted you mate."
The Governor then said to me "That was the whole purpose of my speech pirate. But I am ashamed to say that I lied to you." I grinned and then took off my hat while asking "The first time in your life I suppose? Good timing." I then paused as I walked towards the bars and began to hold them, and then I continued, "Let me guess, your wife was not killed by a pirate?"
I then saw a look of sorrow come across his face and then he explained "No, that did not happen." He then came closer to me and began to explain "A year after Elizabeth was born, my beautiful wife was sent to Tortuga on an errand. Well while she was there, she met a pirate. I believe his name was Frank Morgan…" I then interrupted his speech by asking "Frownin' Frank Morgan?"
He then nodded and asked sadly "You know him?" I smiled and then nodded "Everyone knows Frownin' Frank Morgan mate. He was my Captain years ago when I first started out as a young lad." The Governor then frowned and continued, "Yes, well I guess he was a good man." I nodded and said "Aye, that he was. A ladies man too, he was my idol growin' up."
The Governor then nodded and said, "Yes, I've heard that of him. But back to my story, she was in Tortuga when she met him. When she returned I saw that she began to pack her things and she told me that she had fallen in love with him, and that she was going to leave with him to live her life as a Captains wife."
My eyebrows then narrowed as he continued, "I will not let another pirate take another person that I care about away from me!" I then sighed and asked, "What about what Lizzie wants?" The Governor then said to me sadly "That is not my concern". I then chuckled and said bluntly "She is your daughter!" The Governor then nodded and replied, "Yes, that is why I have to do what is best for her. (Pause) Once we arrive in Port Royal I will make arrangements for your hanging."
He then walked away form me leaving in the coldness of my jail cell wondering why that whelp William had to be right. I then sat down in the middle of my cell and placed my hat over my head while hoping that this was all a dream, and that I would soon awake in Elizabeth's arms where I belonged.
