I'll Take my Chances

Chapter 2

Later that night Elizabeth returned to her fathers house. The house was upon a hillside, trees, and grassland surrounded the house, making it the most beautiful household in Port Royal. As soon as she arrived the made her way to her room, this was a place where she could be on her own, with no disturbances, apart from the odd maid here and there. She entered the room sitting down on the end of her bed with a huge sigh. She looked around her room, it was neat and tidy, her four poster bed in the middle and a huge wardrobe but he balcony window. Knock knock

"You may enter" Elizabeth shouted

"Good day Miss, is everything to your liking?" The maid asked politely

"Yes, thank you. Please may you inform my father I will not be down for the meal, I think it best if I sleep now"

"Yes Miss" the maid made a curtsey and left the room, as soon as the door was shut Elizabeth went to the balcony window to shut the curtain, she looked out the window, still hearing soldiers running about, trying to catch an escapee. She closed her window and drew her curtains, and began to change into her night clothes.

At the bottom of the hill stood Jack Sparrow looking up at the house I bet there is something worth a good price in there he thought to himself. It had been a while since he had done a speck of honest pirating. He made his way up the hill, stopping every now and then, he wasn't as fit as he used to be, and the hill was extremely steep.

As he arrived there were no guards, but thought best if he went in the back door for safety. He entered the house with no problem and found the dining room, he was lucky because at this time the governor and his daughter would be having their dinner. He looked around and saw a cabinet with expensive china inside, he took a cup out and looked at it and stuffed it in his pocket, he went to grab another one but saw a box at the bottom of the cabinet. Jewels maybe he thought.

He opened the box and his eyes widened at what he saw, expensive necklaces, rings. Jack Sparrow never missed an opportunity to steal lots jewel, and with that thought he grabbed a handful and shoved it in his other pocket. Just before he was about to leave he spotted something still inside the box, a teal gemmed ring, he'd heard stories but never witnessed the real thing. This ring could grant him immortality, he stood there staring at it for about five minutes until he heard the governors voice and so, he ran up stairs and by coincidence he entered Elizabeth's room.

Elizabeth was in a peaceful sleep, till she heard her door slam shut and she sat up quickly in bed. Jack Sparrow was still staring at the ring facing the door, he turned round and broke his gaze from the ring to Elizabeth.

"oh Bugger" he whispered to himself

"What is the meaning of you barging in my room?" she demanded to know why he was in her room. "Mr. Sparrow!!" she shouted

"Captain, Captain Sparrow please" he grinned and ran to the window

"What are you doing here Captain!" she pulled the covers over her chest, she knew what sort of a man he was, and didn't want to be taken advantage of.

"What's your name Miss?"

"You have not answered my question" she looked him up and down, he was a pirate she knew exactly what he was doing " have you stole anything, because if you have I would like it back"

"On one condition, you tell me your name"

"Fine, it's Elizabeth, Elizabeth Swan" she named herself, it felt weird to say her own name.

"well Elizabeth, I keep to my word" he handed her a mug and all but one piece of jewellery

"Pleasure to meet you Lizzie" and with that he ran to the window, flashed a smile and jumped out of the window. She ran to the window and watched him run down the hill. He's a mad man she thought to herself, and then returned to bed with a smile on her face.
