The Bloody Corpse
Sorry about the no disclaimer, so I'll say it now: I do not own any other characters than Lily and her first mate Jeremy, right now that is.
Recap: "Cap' tin where to now" Lily's first mate asked
"I got a wedding to attend, set sail to port royal Jeremy"
"Ay Cap' tin" With that Lily went to her captain's quarters again
On with the story!
"Ye want us to do what!" Jeremy shouted at his captain
"Ye heard me and ye do as yer told" Lily stated while staring at most all the crew in her quarters "But cap' tin why, can't we go with ye" the crew yell at her.
She was getting inpatient with her crew and if they held her up much longer she'd be late for her cousin's wedding. "That's enough, I be going by me self and that's final, ye are to drop me off at port and leave, if ye don't listen to me orders ye best hope the ports navy find ye before I do" Lily spoke deathly to her crew. Most gulped and hurried to leave, all did but first mate Jeremy. "Cap' tin just be safe and don't get in to much trouble" Jeremy and Lily both share a smile and laugh together.
When Lily got to port she was cleaned and well dressed. You could see how her hair was different shads of browns, reds, and blacks. How her skin was an ivory color not tan at all which showed her bold golden eyes. She wore a green and sliver dress, which showed off a little more than she liked of her female body.
Trying to keep dry and failing some what, Lily was making her way to the hill. Seeing more than enough guards, Lily stays out of site.
"Lord or not you have no reason and no authority to arrest this man" some old guy with a wig on said, Lily found him to most likely be the governor of Port Royal.
"In fact I do. Mr. Mercer...a warrant for the arrest of one William Turner" Lord Beckett hand the governor the scroll.
The governor, to Lily's displeasure, yelled out "This warrant is for Elizabeth Swann!"
Lord Beckett gave a look of annoy-ment "Oh is it, that's annoying, my mistake. Arrest her"
Lily spoke up, after all you can't stay quite for long, especially when her cousin and soon to be cousin, are getting arrest in front of her "On what charges Lord Beckett?"
Eyes land on her for the first time
"And who mite you be?" Beckett got that annoyed look again. Lily being her bold self walked over to Will and Elizabeth and gave them a big smile. "Why my name is Lily Beckum, I'm William's older cousin and as asked before my Lord, what are the charges?"
Many of the soldiers looked at her with hatred as Lord Beckett ignores her.
"Ahh, here's the one for William Turner. And I have another one here for a James Norrington, is he present?"
"Commodore Norrington resigned his commission some months ago" the governor stated as he over look the papers. Beckett cut him off "I don't believe that's the answer to the question I asked."
Lily didn't like how her question was ignored and neither did Will or Elizabeth "Lord Beckett, in the category of questions not answered..." Will was then cut off by his lover "We are under the jurisdiction of the king's governor of Port Royal and you will tell us what we are charged with"
Her father read out the charges "The charge...is conspiring to set free a man convicted of crimes against the crown and empire and condemned to death, for which the..." "For which the punishment, regrettably, is also death. Perhaps you remember a certain pirate named Jack Sparrow" Beckett more than haply pointed out
And at once Will and Elizabeth had to correct Lord Beckett "Captain" Elizabeth went on "Captain Jack Sparrow"
Lily look at Will and gave him an eye brow up and tilted her head as to tell Will he has some talking to do.
"Lord Beckett if you'd be kind enough as to let me speak with my cousin, you see I haven't seen him for several years" Lily gave him a hopeful look and a small smile
Beckett looked her strait in the eyes "Why should I Miss Beckum?"
"There is no reason to be rude Lord Beckett, please, I wish to know what kind of trouble my cousin has gotten himself in" Lily once again spoke boldly to Beckett.
Beckett turned to face Lily "You speak boldly, you should watch your tongue, take them to the cells"
Lily hides her emotions as she turns to leave before hearing "Miss Beckum, I'd like a word with you in my quarters" came the voice of Beckett
"As you wish my Lord" Lily could see the distasteful smirk Beckett held on his face.
"Please Miss Beckum, have a seat" Beckett showed Lily were to sit. "Thank you kindly Lord Beckett" Lily said with what hopefully looked like a thankful smile.
"Now I'd like to know a little about you, before I can let you see Mr. Turner" Beckett sat across from her "Can I get you anything" "Oh, no I'm fine thank you though, well Lord Beckett there's not much to tell"
"How about I ask some question and you answer them for me?" Beckett tried to smile at her but only a smirk came out. "I'd say yes, please ask away" Lily could help want to choke or sneer at him, but she held it in. "All right, how are you related to Mr. Turner?" "His my cousin on his and my father's side" Lily spoke while standing to look at the map on Beckett's wall.
"Do you have any other family than your cousin, do you like it?" Beckett added as Lily smile at the map, it made the sea look so small. "Yes, Wills' the last of my family and as for the map it's beautiful" She spoke as she traces the rim of the new world, and a small smile starts to play on her lips. Beckett walks behind Lily and starts to play with her hair. "You have a strange hair color." He waited a few minutes till speaking again "Are you marred Lily?"
Lily turns to look at Beckett while thinking 'that scum is trying to hit on me and he used my first name' Lily walks away from him and sits back down, she looks to the side looking some what sad "I was to marry some time ago, but I … didn't have time to even meet him, he got sick and died soon after… so to answer you question Lord Beckett I'm not married"
Beckett smile and was about to ask another question when a soldier came in. "Lord Beckett, the prisoner as ordered, sir"
Will was then hauled in to the room. "Will!" Lily said as she went to his side
Beckett looked at the cuffs on Will's hands and said "Those won't be necessary. The East India Trading Company has need of your services. We wish for you to act as our agent in a business transaction with out mutual friend Captain Sparrow" Will looked at Lily and then Beckett before speaking "Do you think it's wise for Lily to hear all this" "She does need to know what you've done scents she last saw you Mr. Turner" Beckett said as he walked beside her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Leave my cousin be!" Will yell but more or less growled "Mr. Turner please claim down or I'll have to remove you" Beckett said as he place Lily to sit down. "Will please, I'm okay, go on" Lily said trying to give Will a warning.
"Now, Mr. Turner as said before, The East India Trading Company has need of your services. We wish for you to act as our agent in a business transaction with out mutual friend Captain Sparrow"
Will answered back way still looking at his cousin "More acquaintance than friend. How do you know him?" Beckett went on "We've had dealings in the past. And we've each left our mark on the other" "What mark did he leave on you?" Will spoke, with out thinking (which he seems to do a lot of). Lord Beckett didn't answer Will's question he just went on "By your efforts Jack Sparrow was set free. I would like you to go to him and recover a certain property in his possession."
"Recover? At the point of a sword?"
Once again Will was ignored "Bargain! Letters of Marque. You will offer what amounts to a full pardon. Jack will be free, a privateer in the employ of England"
"Somehow I doubt that Jack will consider employment the same as being free" Will spoke the truth. Most likely Jack wouldn't think of that as freedom or for that matter neither would any pirate.
"Freedom. Jack Sparrow is a dying breed. The world is shrinking, the blank edges of the map filled in. Jack must find his place in the new world or perish. Not unlike yourself, Mr. Turner. You and your fiancée face the hangman's noose." Lily grimace at the thought of Will and Elizabeth hanging by a rope on there throats.
Lily is cut from her thoughts by Will saying "So you get both Jack and the Black Pearl"
"The Black Pearl?" state Lord Beckett as he turned from Will
"The property you want that he possesses." Will was then cut off by a smirking Beckett "A ship? Hardly! The item in question is considerably smaller and far more valuable. Something Sparrow keeps on his person at all times: a compass." Will looked thought full as to why Beckett wants something like a compass, thus showing Beckett that he knows what he's talking about. "Ah, you know it. Bring back that compass or there's no deal"
Lily finally make herself know once again. "If Will is going I am too"
Both Will and Beckett look at her with concern but Beckett speaks first "My dear Lily, it isn't safe for a women on the seas and also I don't want you any were near pirates" Beckett stood again "Besides I'd rather hoped you would keep me company"
Lily couldn't stand it, the part were it isn't safe for women to be at sea ticked her off more than anything. "Lord Beckett, I am going with my cousin and so help me, you will regret ever saying women are weak" Lily glare at him as she head for the door. Beckett couldn't believe what just happened and Will smiled at he's cousin's out burst
"If you ever make it sound like woman are weak she has to prove you wrong, and I also have to remind myself she isn't like any other women you'll ever meet"
"Well Mr. Turner you should get ready for your trip and I guess Miss Beckum will be joining you"
With that Will left Beckett's quarters.
"She is quiet a find" Beckett spoke to himself.
"So Will, where to?" Lily was now dressed in men's clothing with her jacket and hair up in a ponytail.
"We are to go to Tortuga." Will spoke as they got on the ship.
"So Will, please do fill me in on the detail as to how you came to know a certain Jack Sparrow" Lily wanted to know if Will had in fact found out if he has pirate blood in his vines.
(Look I'm not typing the whole first movie out thank you very much)
"So… did you have fun on this little adventure?" Lily gave Will one of her smirks. "Sorry for not telling you Lala, it's just I didn't think this would happen" Will looked some what sad as he couldn't face his cousin "Will don't worry to much, I've got something I'm not telling you too, promise not to hate me after I tell you?" Lily said as she look at the sea. "How could I hate my Lala" Will couldn't help but smile when Lily playfully glare at him "Will you stop calling me that, your old enough to speak my name now" "So I like calling you Lala, and I love annoying you too, lucky for me I get two for one" Lily was about to yell at Will when some one yelled out "Tortuga a head!"
"I say we ask anyone and every one" Lily state as she and Will walked around town.
Will took her advice and started asking people. Some random guy said "Captain Jack Sparrow, owes me four doubloons. I heard he was dead" another one said "Singapore, that's what I heard" and then he gave a drunken smile before he went on "Sure as the tide, Jack Sparrow will turn up in Singapore"
As they walked on two girls saw Will and came over. Will asked both if they saw Jack and they said "Jack Sparrow?! Haven't seen him in a month. When you find him will you give him a message?" Then one of them gave Will a slap on the face and Lily winced at the loud slapping sound.
Will and Lily finally got lucky when they found a black guy with dreadlocks on the docks. "Cannot say about Jack Sparrow. But there's an island just south of the straits where I trade spice for delicious lum pork. Cannot say about Jack. But you'll find a ship there, a ship with black sails"
"My brother will take you ashore"
"Thank you for your kindness" Lily said before Will and her left.
About half way to the shore the brother stops the boat. Then Will asks what's wrong "What's wrong? The beach is right there" That's when the brother starts to say stuff in French. Will looks at Lily "do you understand any of that?"
Lily shake her head no. "What did you say?" Will tried to see if he could get the guy to speak something we could understand. It was a no go, the brother only spoke more French. "Come on Will lets just go" and with that Lily up in and start swimming.
They get to the peal only to find no one there. Lily start looking around while Will starts to yell "Jack, Jack Sparrow!? Marty!? Cotton!? Anybody?"
"Will don't start yelling for no reason" Lily said as she clime on to the peal "I'm going to look around, so stay here, you got that Lala" Will stated sternly "Yeah, yeah, I got it William"
"What the bloody hell is taking that boy so long" Lily said getting inpatient. She decided to go look for him.
In this time Pintel and Ragetti come to the island and start getting the ship ready for them selves.
"Were in the hell could he be, I'll skin him alive if this is one of his tricks, William Turner, so help me.." Lily didn't have time to finish her sentence as Will and the crew came running out of the forest of the island. Soon as Will saw Lily He yelled "Lala run, get to the ship!"
Lily didn't have to be told twice to run. Will and Lily were standing next to each other when Gibbs said "Make ready to sail, boys!" When Will piped in "What about Jack. I won't leave with out him" As if Jack was reading Will's mind he came running down the beach, with the cannibals on his tail. "Time to go" Will said as he pull Lily on the peal With him.
Gibbs starts to bark out orders as Jack keeps running.
Lily moves to were she won't get in the way. While Jack is getting pulled up by Gibbs and Will. Gibbs starts to ask for orders "Let's put some distance between us and this island and head out to open sea." Jack gives Gibbs the orders "Yes to the first, yes to the second, but only insofar as we keep to the shallows as much as possible" Gibbs face turned to a soft grimace "That seems a bit contradictory, Captain"
"I have every faith in your reconciliatory navigational skills, Master Gibbs. Now, where is that monkey? I want to shoot something" Jack said as he look for a pistol. Lily smirks as she watches the three talks amongst them selves. "Jack, Elizabeth is in danger" Will basically shouted. Jack looked like he couldn't care less as he spoke "Have you considered keeping a more watchful eye on her? Maybe just lock her up somewhere?" Now it was Lily's turn to talk "She is locked up" Jack, Gibbs, and Will look at her, along with the whole crew. Making Lily to roll her eyes. Will went on "In a prison bound to hang for helping you"
"There comes a time when one must take responsibility for one's mistakes and who be the girl?" Jack asked. "The names Lily Beckum and don't get any idea's Cap' tin Sparrow, I came to help my cousin" Lily stand next to Will. "I need that compass of yours, Jack. I must trade it for her freedom" he said as he took someone's sword. Jack look at the sword point as he spoke "Mr. Gibbs"
"Captain" Gibbs state as he to look at the sword point." We have a need to travel upriver" Jack said making Gibbs almost gasp "You mean a need as in a trifling need, fleeting, as in, say, a passing fancy" Jack look at Gibbs as Will move the sword a little "No, a resolute and unyielding need" Will look at Jack in disbelief before saying "What we need to do is to make sail for Port Royal with all haste"
Jack started to talk with a look that spelled trouble "William, I shall trade you the compass, if you will help me to find this." Jack pulls out an old cloth with a picture of a key." You want me to find this" Will said as if not believing him.
"No, you want you to find this. Because the finding of this finds you incapacitorially finding and or locating in your discovering the detecting of a way to free your dolly belle ol' what's her face, savvy?" Jack tilted his head after speaking. Lily had to go over the sentence in her head a few times before getting it." This is going to save Elizabeth?" Will asked not trusting Jack. "How much do you know about Davy Jones?" that got Lily's attention on Jack "Not much" Will looked like he didn't get it, which he didn't. "Then it's going to help"
Jack walk to the wheel to steer "I say you had a better chance with holding him at sword point" Lily spoke as she walk pass Will to look over the edge. "Awe come on Lala don't get mad at me" Will said as he walk up next to her. Jack had a look of amusement on his face "Lala, now how'd you get that name love?" Lily looked at Jack as she said in a sickly sweet voice "Shove it up yours captain" Will look at her in disbelief. "A feisty one she is, now did she say you two are cousins" Will look at Jack "Do even think about it Jack"
