Jack Sparrow yawned as he entered The Faithful Bride. It was morning and he wanted some rum.
"Jack! Jack!" the captain heard someone calling his name. Much to his surprise, he saw Will running toward him, with Elizabeth, Barbossa, and Anamaria following him.
"Will! What brings you to Tortuga, mate?" Jack asked his friend.
"We need your help with something. It's very important." Will said as he, Elizabeth, Barbossa, Anamaria, and Jack sat down.
"You need my help?" Jack asked shocked.
"The night before last there was a raid on Port Royal," Will began.
"Those pirates kidnapped our son and Will's apprentice and knocked us out before we could pursue them!" Elizabeth cried quickly.
"It was The Cursed Raider Jack. They're back and bolder than ever." Anamaria growled. Jack spit out his rum.
"I thought we sunk that ship! But… How… Why?" Jack looked shocked and horrified.
"There's one question, Is Davis the captain? If he is, then Jack, I hope you don't have any loose ends to tie up." Barbossa took a gulp of his rum.
"But, if it is Davis, than why would he go after William and the apprentice? Why not come right after me and save the hassle?" Jack wondered.
"Leverage, that's why. Perhaps this Davis, if that's who it is, knows he can't beat you unless he has some leverage, so he goes after the option of my son and apprentice, even though you don't her, to have the upper hand." Will said.
"That's probably it then, to have the upper hand." Elizabeth didn't say part of what she was thinking, what everyone who knew Keira was thinking, 'Who better than his daughter to have as leverage?'
"How do you propose we go about rescuing William and this lass?" Jack leaned forward.
"What are you doing Keira?" William asked the pirate daughter.
"I'm planning an escape attempt. I got it! We sneak into the captain's quarters, grab a compass, a telescope, and some maps, sneak into the kitchen grab some provisions, then get some pistols, ammo, a few swords, commandeer a long-boat, and row away to the nearest port!" Keira clapped her hands in glee.
"What are we waiting for?" William started to go out the cabin.
"We're waiting for the opportune moment mate." Keira grabbed William.
~LATER THAT NIGHT~
Keira looked at the map and started to row West.
"Why are we going west?" William asked as he started to go the same direction.
"Singapore is five days away. We can make it there with what provisions we have, plus, the people know me there and we can get a crew, ship, provisions, and possibly get word to your parents." She replied evenly.
"Great! We don't have any money though…" William muttered.
"Let me handle that." Keira grinned.
~THE NEXT DAY~
Jack turned his ship towards the direction that the compass was pointing. Will looked at the compass in his hands.
"I hope they haven't hurt William or Keira…" Elizabeth sighed.
"We don't have to worry about William as much as Keira though… She far too stubborn, bad tempered, and fast to speak for her own good…" Will sighed.
"Too much like her father, minus the temper and tongue, for her own good." Elizabeth agreed.
"I'm sure this Keira and William is all right." Jack said.
"Perhaps, they are…" Gibbs said thoughtfully.
"Captain! They've escaped!" a pirate yelled to Captain Davis.
"WHAT!" he yelled furiously. "Start looking for them now ye scurvy dogs! Miss Sparrow, Mr. Turner you have crossed blades with the wrong pirate…"
~FOUR DAYS LATER~
"Welcome to Sing-," the dock master turned around, "Keira! What brings you here? Last time I saw you, you were leaving for Port Royal."
"We need a ship, a crew, and provisions, Wang." Keira smiled.
"Yes I'll take you to Mr. Yoa right away. Come on then." Wang turned and hurried to the shipwright.
"Keira, little sparrow, you look different, what has happened to you?" the Master Shipwright, Yoa asked Keira.
"Well in addition to becoming a blacksmith, I just rowed for five days strait with William away from a pirate ship that kidnapped us right after declining our parley terms. We need a ship, Grandpa Yoa, a fast one." Keira looked at him.
"I have the perfect one for you. The newest of her kind, The Night Star, she's the fastest in Singapore and tailor made for pirating, if that is what you are using her for." Yoa smiled.
"You know what to do, take the price from me mum's coffers." Keira said as she observed the ship. It looked like the Black Pearl, she was the same size, but she had midnight blue sails, instead of black ones.
"If you're looking for a crew, go to The Green Dragon. I'm sure the sailors in there wouldn't mind signing up for your crew." Yoa said.
"I know, that's we were heading next." Keira smiled as she pulled William with her.
"Keira! It's so good to see you again!" the barmaid giggled.
"Yuki! You too! We need a crew could you do me a favor and let everyone know?" Keira asked.
"Hey everyone, Keira's back! She wants some strong, experienced, skilled pirates for her crew." Yuki shouted. After ten people had signed up and William and Keira went for the provisions they needed, William asked her;
"Why pirates?"
"Well, the navy never comes to that tavern and the normal sailors won't sail with us." She replied. They soon made it to the market.
"We need food, water, cannon balls, gun powder, and some other things. We'll split up and search for it. Yuki, can you get the food and water? Danny, Samuel, and Ivan the cannon balls?" Keira continued to tell her crew members what they needed and assigned them to get specific things. She went to get her crew bedding, medical supplies, and to get her flag she had been working on.
"Thank you, for keeping it safe Mr. Takashi." She said as she walked to her ship.
"Done! My ship is prepared for send-off." She grinned.
"Yes, and it also marks you as a pirate, Miss Sparrow is it?" a voice behind her said.
"Cutler Beckett!" Keira gasped.
"Yes, take her to my office." Beckett said as he turned away.
William walked back past Beckett's office when he heard Beckett yelling to throw someone out.
"Keira, what happened?" William nearly dropped the gunpowder he was carrying when the EITC members threw her out.
"I just set my fate and followed in my father's footsteps." She smiled. She showed him her right forearm, which had been branded with a 'P' to symbolize that she was a pirate.
"Looks like I'm marrying a pirate now…" he chuckled as they walked to the Star.
"Why did Becket have you thrown out of his office?" he asked.
"I grabbed the brand and I branded his face, I used the side, not the P." She grinned.
"Captain Keira Sparrow, where to?" Yuki called.
"Tortuga, Bring me that horizon!" She ordered as she took her place at the wheel.
