The morning is joined with heavy rain, but people at Port Royal still gathered around the port as the ship, Endeavour, arrives. Once again, jack Sparrow is captured by Lord Cutler Beckett and this time, no more delays on his hanging. People starts to gossip as they found out that the head of the government's only daughter joined the pirates. Isaac followed the captives on their way to the gallows when someone called out for him from the crowd. He got surprised to see his wife and other two sons in Port Royal. Estella grabbed her husband on the arms and looked furious.
"Isaac, do something! Your children are facing the gallows!" Estella exclaimed.
At the moment, Isaac saw the people talking about them. He felt terribly embarrassed about her and took his wife's hands off.
"Sorry, what's done is done" he said and walked away.
Stephen and Frederick look as shock as their mother is. Isaac said it that simple, as if nothing bad is about to happen. The worst part is, his two kids are facing death and he still thinks of himself and his work.
People gathered around the gallows with their umbrellas like there is some kind of show. The queen of England is also there to see the execution of the said infamous jack sparrow, sitting on her throne. The day is really cold and eerie for what is about to happen. First ones in line to the gallows are jack sparrow, Elizabeth Swann, William Turner, Hector Barbossa, Tia Dalma, and Emily Heartgrim. All of them are wet and shivering with the cold, but that's not what they're worried about.
"Any escape plan, Sparrow?" barbossa asked mockingly.
Jack looks at the crowd and saw his mom and brothers. Stephen has this look his in eyes like he has a plan or something.
Jack smirked and faced his first mate, "Let's just wait"
Isaac Heartgrim is standing beside Lord Cutler Beckett and couldn't stop worrying. He was thinking about all the things jack had said. You're still a father. She's not the only one who needs to make choices.
"Don't even think about doing anything stupid, Sir Heartgrim" Beckett said and looked at him seriously, "This has to be done. To be a lesson to all pirates"
The executioner tied the last rope to Emily and she could see her mother and Frederick crying. Rather than doing the same thing, Emily smiled at them proudly for bringing jack back to the family. The executioner looked at Cutler Beckett to wait for his signal. Beckett looked at jack's direction and smiled menacingly. This has been his lifelong dream, to see jack sparrow dead. Beckett slowly nodded as a signal and the executioner went to the lever and pulled it.
"NO!" Isaac cried.
Estella covered her eyes and cried on Frederick's chest.
But everyone gasped with what had happened; no one was hanged. Stephen is behind the crowd of people carrying a boomerang like blade. He threw it to cut loose the ropes just in time. The captives fell on the ground and make a run for it. Everyone starts to run and panic.
Beckett, on the other hand, isn't pleased with what's going on. He pulled out his pistol and walked with his men in a hurry.
"Find them all and kill them" he ordered.
While the others are in a panic, Isaac got to his knees and felt relieved that they got away. But, he still has to do something just in case Beckett kills them. Will and Elizabeth went to look for a hiding place like the others, Barbossa exchange bullets with the guards, Tia Dalma runs toward the sea, and jack finds a way to take the rope off his hands. The people kept running and screaming in panic while Emily charges toward them.
The rain poured down harder and jack saw a rock, so sharp that it cut off the rope around his hands. Just when he was about to run, a guard cornered him with a sword. Jack smiled at him and uses his cleverness to get away.
"What's that?" he suddenly said, surprised, pointing at the sky.
The guard is stupid enough to look up and jack picked up a rock and knocked him unconscious.
"So gullible, mate" jack said and took his sword and ran.
A lot of dead bodies are already scattered, but the shooting and sword fights still continued.
Emily finally saw jack, having a sword fight, with a bunch of guards. She was about to run towards him when she heard ragetti's voice from somewhere.
"Me eye!" he said.
Ragetti is on his knees, looking for his wooden eye and Emily saw beckett walking across. He's actually after Barbossa at the moment when he saw ragetti.
"Such pathetic pest" beckett muttered and cocks his pistol towards him.
Jack stabbed two guards with his sword when a loud shot aroused. He suddenly felt his hair rise and looked down. The puddle of clear water slowly turned bloody red. Jack slowly turned around and saw beckett smirking at ragetti. But, ragetti has no gunshot anywhere. If he has, jack must see it already. Ragetti is so stiff. Jack suddenly noticed that someone is in front of ragetti, who slowly fell on the ground.
It was Emily.
At the moment, jack couldn't move; like the heavens fell on him.
"So sorry, she was on my way" beckett said coolly and cocks his gun for sparrow.
When he was about to pull the trigger, Stephen jumped out of nowhere and knocked beckett on the floor. William arrived at the scene and took the pistol from Beckett. Pintel and Mr. Gibbs helps out Stephen on guarding Beckett while the royal guards surrounded them with guns. Elizabeth desperately ran towards Emily and is crying. The blood won't stop gushing out of Emily's rib side and mouth.
"Emily, Emily can you hear me?" Elizabeth exclaimed, shaking the young girl's face.
Emily is turning a lot paler and felt a lot colder besides the rain.
"L-Lizzie" she moaned.
"Out of my way!" jack said as he runs towards them.
He knelt beside Elizabeth and couldn't speak; it hurts him to see his sister in the situation. Under the rain, no one could notice Emily's tears.
"Jack" Emily mumbled beneath her smile, "You're the greatest pirate I've ever mate- and a brother"
In an instant, Emily's whole vision turned pitch black and last she heard was jack shouting her name.
A few weeks later, the weather at Port Royal turned sunny again. People went by their usual task to earn money. In the Heartgrims mansion, newlyweds William and Elizabeth decided to pay a visit to someone special to them. The couple went upstairs and in the second door, carrying a big bouquet of red roses.
"I'll put it in a vase" Will whispered and took the bouquet from Elizabeth.
Elizabeth smiled, "Thank you"
She slowly and quietly approached the bed and sat on the wooden chair beside it and watches her cousin sleep. After getting shot, Emily was taken to a doctor and immediately treated. It's even a miracle that she survived; the shot was near her heart already. Elizabeth suddenly saw Emily's fingers twitch.
"Will, look, she's regaining consciousness" Elizabeth said happily.
William hurriedly went to Elizabeth's side and saw Emily starts to move. Slowly, Emily begins to open her beautiful eyes and she could hear voices.
Emily looked at her side and saw Elizabeth in a beautiful yellow corset dress, crying in joy, beside the handsome William Turner.
"Lizzie, Will" Emily said softly.
Elizabeth is so delighted and clutched Emily's warm hand, "Finally, you're awake"
"H-how long was I been sleeping?"
"Almost two weeks" will said.
"That long?"
Will and Elizabeth help her sit up and Emily thanks the both of them then noticed the shiny rings on their finger, "You're already married?"
Elizabeth looked at her ring then to Emily, "Oh, we already did. Just four days ago"
"What else have I missed after I got-shot?"
"Well, your father begged the queen not to let the pirates be condemned to death. He said, with the great skills of pirates, they could help protect Port Royal and England from conquerors" Elizabeth explained.
"How about Beckett?"
"He's locked up in prison for shooting you, a civilian"
"And Davey Jones?"
"He got his heart back and Tia Dalma, also known as Calypso. Tia Dalma decided to stay with him and Davey turned to a man again and continues the work he's supposed to do. He doesn't need jack anymore"
Upon hearing jack's name, Emily suddenly felt worried, "Jack, where is he?"
William and Elizabeth looked at each other and don't know how to tell her.
But it's nothing serious though. Jack sparrow is actually on the port, about to leave with the black pearl and his crew, saying his farewell to his mother and brother. His mother, Estella, couldn't stop crying and hugged her son tight. The crew saw it and secretly made fun of their captain and jack gave them a glare.
"Take care, alright? And also Frederick" his mother reminded.
The third to the youngest, Frederick, finally decided to become a pirate and to join his brother's crew. And jack gladly agreed.
"Don't worry, I'll look after him" jack said.
Estella lets go of jack and it was Stephen's turn to say goodbye. They gave each other a brotherly hug and jack smiled at Stephen, who is wearing a blue uniform, "Do your best, commodore"
After what Stephen had done during the gallows incident, with his boomerang blade, the queen herself appointed Stephen to be the head of the royal navy.
Stephen stands formal and nodded, "I'll do my best. But, wouldn't you say goodbye to Emily? She'll be crushed if you leave soon"
That's what jack is really avoiding, feeling crushed, now that he's so close to Emily. He seriously doesn't want to leave his family, but he can't stay in one place. He's an adventurer.
"No, not anymore" jack said, "Just say hi to her and father, will you?"
Jack waved goodbye to the both of them and boarded the black pearl. The crew pulled up the anchor and finally sets sail away from Port Royal.
"Okay gents, line up" jack ordered.
Everyone, except barbossa, lined up immediately like soldiers as jack pass by them.
"Ragetti and Pintel, clean around; Mr. Gibbs, check if we have enough rum; Frederick, fix the ropes over there; Emily, fix-"
Jack stopped with his mouth slightly open and looked bewildered. Is jack hallucinating even before he drinks rum?
He walked backwards and to his surprise, she's still there. Emily is wearing a blue dress, her hair tied in a half pony and smiling. Jack approached her and observed her thoroughly.
"Am I dreaming?" he asked with his usual drunk gestures.
To make him believe that he's not dreaming, Emily took jack's hands. Jack could feel her warm soft hands together with the breeze of the wind. He isn't dreaming at all.
"I can't believe you'll just leave without visiting me when I was injured. Ragetti even had the time to see me" Emily said frowning.
Jack smirked and tucks Emily's bangs behind her ear, "I really wanted to visit you, love. But, if I saw you lying unconscious, it'll be difficult for me to leave. I feel awful for bringing my only sister in danger"
"I know what you can do so you won't feel awful"
Jack looked curious, "I need to do something?"
"Very smart, brother. I want you to take me to all your adventures, savvy?"
The crew watched the two and smiled eagerly with what their captain would answer. His sister is becoming so much like him. Jack stood on the bow and looked at the horizon.
He turned around to face Emily and grinned, "If you haven't noticed, love, you're already in an adventure. By the way, get rid of that bloody dress"
Emily hurriedly saluted, "Aye, captain!"
From the Heartgrim's mansion, Isaac is standing outside his balcony beside his wife, watching the black pearl sail.
"So, Emily made her own decision" Isaac said.
Estella Drew a deep breath and cuddled on her husband's arm, "Yes, she wants to be with her brothers and explore the world. Are you okay with that?"
"If that's what they want, I respect it"
"Aren't you worried that you won't see them anymore?"
"Nonsense, this isn't the last time we'll see Captain Jack Sparrow"
