Maria's Point of View

"What was that?" I asked Will curiously, even though I already knew what it was. I didn't tell him that though because I didn't want to ruin the story (or the fact that I would sound crazy). Will looked away from the window and back at me. He gave me a weak smile and headed towards where he kept the finished swords. From the streets came the sound of yelling and more cannons being shot.

"Maria, it seems as if Port Royal is under attack. I would ask you to stay here, but I don't think you would take to kindly to that." Will said as he grabbed a hatchet thing from the wall. My eyes grew wide as I realized that we would actually be fighting. Will stood by the door and looked to me to see if I was going to continue on with him or not. It took me a moment before I nodded to myself and walked towards Will.

"You're right." I reached for the door lock and pulled it open. Then I looked up at Will. "I'll be coming with you. Who knows what kind of help you might need." And with that I walked out into the street where people were running and screaming. The pirate with the smoking beard ran past, chasing a woman into the street. "Will, look there." I said pointing to where the pirate was gaining on the girl. Will looked over to where I was and took off. He threw the hatchet into the pirate, who stopped and fell to the ground. Will retrieved his weapon and took off running once again. "Well, don't wait for me. I'm only a girl in a skirt." I said. Not being one to be left behind, I went as fast as I could to where I last saw Will.

Looking around, I saw Will being dragged up to a pirate. "Say goodbye." The pirate maliciously said, while holding the axe above Will's face. "Will!" I screamed as the pirate looked up at the sign that was falling, since it had been hit by a cannon ball. Will ducked just in time, and the sign hit the pirate into the window of the store that was behind him.

Will looked at me, or rather behind me, at someone who was coming out of a nearby alleyway. I turned around to where I saw Pintel and Ragetti dragging off Elizabitch (sorry for the language, but it's rated for a reason!). Elizabitch turned and saw Will standing there, and mouthed his name. Pintel dragged Elizabitch and I heard Will whisper her name. He was just getting ready to go after her, when the pirate he killed earlier threw a bomb at his feet. The pirate giggled and then looked to a confused Will. Sighing, I waited for the grenade to diffuse. Will grinned at the pirate who suddenly looked like a sad little boy. I resisted the urge to say "Aww" when another pirate hit Will upside the head with a bottle.

The pirates started to laugh, then looked to me holding my sword. This made them laugh harder, but before I could teach them a lesson, they just walked off. Maybe it was because of the growing moonlight, but as the saying for the tootsie pop commercial goes, "The world may never know." Sighing, I walked over to where Will was knocked out cold on the ground. Oh well, now would be as good a time as any to braid hair. I smiled evilly, and lifted Will's head in my lap. This was going to look great on him. Whistling to myself, and trying to ignore the last of the battle sounds fading, I plaited Will's hair and started to braid it. "Yo, ho, a pirate's life for me." I said. Somehow, I think I heard Taylor saying the same thing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still Maria's Point of View

By the time Will had woken up that morning, all I could say was I was in desperate need of some coffee. Oh, and that his hair looked GREAT! But besides that, I wanted my coffee. Anyway that I could get it, even if it was strait from the pot, boiling hot, and black as night. I just wanted my coffee. Evidently, my grumpy mood was noticed by my companion who was now getting off the ground and making weird face at me and everyone around us. He was giving me a look that clearly stated, 'Why the heck are we out here.' So I decided to explain.

"Well, Mr. Turner, a pirate knocked you out before you went to rescue Elizabitc, I mean Elizabeth. I decided to wait for you and now you are awake. What's your plan of action?" I asked him. He still looked a bit weird, but I decided it was just because he had been knocked out and not because Elizabitch was gone.

Without a word, he took off running through the middle of the street. "Once again, I am left alone, and talking to myself. The first sign of insanity." I rolled my eyes and got up to follow Will, certain he would be going to talk to my favorite Commodore and wigged Governor.

Sure enough, when I got to the actual fort like structure, Will was walking inside to speak to the Commodore and his men. "They've taken her. They've taken Elizabeth!" Will all but screamed at the surrounding men. He seemed really freaked out, but Norry just rolled his eyes, and without looking up from his map said, "Mr. Murrtogg, remove this man."

Will was not to be perturbed though. "We have to hunt the down. We must save her!" Oh now he was getting a bit desperate. Aw, my little desperate cutie. Too bad it wasn't over me.

"And where do you suppose we start?" A distraught Governor Swann asked. "If you have any information concerning my daughter, please share it."

I rolled my eyes. Had they all gone crazy? This girl wasn't worth the effort, but I guess then we wouldn't have a story. "That Jack Sparrow. He talked about the Black Pearl." Murtogg said. Everyone turned around to look at him and he flushed. Looking over to his partner, Mullroy said, "Mentioned it is more what he did."

Will looked happy about this, even though he had dueled with said pirate earlier. "Ask him where it is." he commanded. "Make a deal with him, he could lead us to it."

The Commodore heaved a big sigh. "No," he said dragging out the word. "The pirates who invaded this port, left Sparrow and the girl locked in their cell, ergo they are not their allies." Then he turned to the Governor. "Governor, we will establish their most likely course…" and that's where Will got angry. Oh boy. He slammed his weapon from earlier down on the map. "That's not good enough!" He shouted. Everyone turned to look at him and the Commodore came around the table to face him.

"Mr. Turner, you are not a military man, you are not a sailor." he grabbed Will and led him away. "You are a blacksmith. Now is not the time for rash actions." The Commodore hissed. Then he got next to Will and whispered, "Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here that cares for Elizabeth." With that Will turned, grabbed my arm, and led us out of the fort.

"Where are we going?" I asked him, once we were a safe distance away from the other soldiers. He slowed his pace and let go of my arm. I stopped and looked up into his face. His eyes were distant and he kept looking to the docks, as if the Black Pearl would come into view and bring back Elizabeth. I sighed. I hated to watch him be miserable. "Well, aren't we going to save her?"

"What do you mean?" He asked turning his wonderful gaze back to me. "The Commodore said that they would handle it."

I rolled my eyes and started to walk again. Motioning for him to follow me, I headed towards the jail and kept talking. "Do you want the Commodore to be her knight in shining armor? No. You have to save her and the only way of doing that is to free Sparrow."

Will shook his head and his eyes lit up and the idea of saving Elizabeth and taking her for himself. Why must I always be a good person? "Thank you." He said, stopping me before we reached the cell. Smiling, I nodded and did something I probably shouldn't have done.

I kissed him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taylor's Point of View

"Jack, can I ask you something?" Sitting in the back of the cell and watching Jack try to pick the lock of our cell, I cleaned my nails on my shirt and twirled around the stolen keys on my fingers.

"No, but yer jus' goina' ask anyway." Jack said. I rolled my eyes and walked over to where he was. Slapping his arm away, I reached through the door and grabbed hold of the old bone. I pulled, but it went no where. Smirking, I turned to face Jack who looked at me discontentedly.

"Why, again, did you stick that bone in there? I had the keys." Waving said keys in his face, I walked over and sat down on the ground. Jack was looking at me with wide eyes. Oops, should've mentioned that earlier. When Jack did nothing and continued to stare, I decided to ask him another question. "Alright then, since you have gotten us into another predicament, I think that you owe me a favor." Glancing up to see that Jack had continued to try and get the bone-lock picker to work I continued. "I think that when we get out, and we will, I should get to come with you on your next adventure."

This made Jack turn around. With a growl, Jack nodded his head and began to continue his work with the lock. I grinned, but the grin was wiped off my face when Jack turned to face me, his eyes full of mischief. "All righ' luv. But since ye'll be comin' wit' me, I get certain, how would ye pu' it." He stopped for a minute in mock thoughtfulness. He snapped his fingers and then turned back towards the lock. "I be getting' certain benefits."

My eyes widened and I stood up and walked over to where he was again. "You will get no such thing, Sparrow. I will not have you corrupting my innocence." I was right next to him and I could now see his gold-toothed smile.

"Wouldn't ask such a thin' from a lass such as yeself. But who kno's wha' the future will bring, aye?" Jack said charmingly. Somehow, deep down, I knew that I didn't stand a chance. I was saved from any further embarrassment when the door banged open and two people flew down the stairs.

"Maria!" I said as my friend grinned at me through the bars. Him, something must have happened while we were apart. I'd have to remember to ask her about that later. "Come to join me crew, lad?" I asked. Maria rolled her eyes and said, "I'm here to find the man I love." At this, I started to laugh, Will gave her a strange look, and Sparrow's eyes popped up to meet hers. Containing my laughter, I managed to get out something along the lines of 'Isn't there something you need to do?' and everyone went back to what they were here for which was….

"You, Sparrow." Will said from behind the bars. Jack's head popped up and he looked at Will. "Aye?" Jack asked, putting his head back down on the floor.

"You are familiar with that ship the Black Pearl?" Maria asked. Jack got more comfortable on the floor and smirked a little. "I've eard' of it." He said nonchalantly. I laughed and shot him a look. Hadn't we just talked about that ship last night?

"Where does it make berth?" Will asked. Jack looked up at him as though he was crazy.

"Where does it make berth?" Jack asked as though he didn't hear Will right. " Ave' you not eard' the stories?" Will looked at Jack, who rolled his eyes and laid back down on the floor. I looked to Maria and thought that I could say this line.

"Captain Barbossa, and his crew of miscreants, sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta. It is an island that can not be found, except," I said putting extra emphasis on the word. "By those who already know where it is." I finished proudly. Jack and Will just looked at me and Maria was trying to keep in the small laughter that was threatening to escape. I blushed under their scrutiny and looked back at my fingernails.

Will seemed to snap back before anyone else. "The ships real enough." He started. "Therefore it's anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and looked to Maria who was almost drooling over Will. Playfully, I pulled her arm through the cell. She gave me the death stare, before discreetly holding her hand up to her mouth.

"Why ask me?" Jack said, examining his nails again. I sat down next to him and grabbed one of his hands, examining his fingers. He looked up at me questioningly and I said, "Jus' trying to find out what's so fascinating." he rolled his eyes but didn't move his hand, so I decided to look at the rings on his fingers.

"Because you're a pirate." Will and Maria said at the same time. Maria blushed as Will looked at her and then back at the floor. Something must be going on between them.

"Oh and you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?" Jack asked rising off the floor some.

Will jumped up to place his face between the bars, as if he was angered by what Jack said. Although, I don't see why. It wasn't as if he had threatened his manliness. Oh wait, he already had. "Never." he said maliciously. Jack didn't seem fazed so Will gave the real reason. "They've taken Elizabeth."

Jack jumped up off the ground completely this time, which sent me flying forward since I still had his hand. All the commotion, though, had disguised Maria's growl of disapproval. "Oh so it is that you've found a girl." Jack said, as if he were discovering treasure and not finding out that Will liked a girl. But then Jack's face saddened. "Well, if you're planning to brave all, hasten to her rescue, and so win the fair lady's heart, you'll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me." At his mention of singular adjectives, I elbowed him from behind his knee, and he rephrased. "I see no profit in it for us."

Will seemed to think a bit, before Maria nodded towards the cell. "I can get you out." Will said proudly. Jack, though, didn't seem to care.

"And ow's that? The keys ave' run off." I huffed and crossed my arms. "And who's fault was that?" I asked him. He rolled his eyes and put his hand over my mouth so I wouldn't say anything else.

"I helped build these cells. These are half-pin barrel hinges. With the right leverage and the proper amount of strength, the door will lift free." Will said picking up a bench and wedging it in the cell door. Jack sat straight up and I could see the wheels working in his mind.

"What's your name?" He asked. Will looked confused but replied. "Will Turner." Jack nodded. "That would be short for William, I imagine. Good strong name. No doubt named for your father, aye?" Jack asked.

"Yes." Was Will's simple answer. Jack looked thoughtful for a moment and then shook his head.

"Well Mr. Turner," Jack said getting to his feet and pulling me up with him. "We've changed our mind's. If you spring me and the lass from this cell, I swear on pain o' death, that I will take you to the Black Pearl. And your bonny lass." Jack added as an after thought. We both stuck our hand through the door. "Do we have an accord?" I asked Will and Maria.

Will looked down at our hands and then shook Jack's and Maria shook mine. "Agreed." They both said. Jack sighed in relief and nodded. "Agreed. Now get me, I mean us, out." He said waving his arms around. Will nodded and pushed down on the bench, which sent the hinges on the door flying and the cell door lifted free with a clang.

"Hurry." Will said, helping me out of the cell where Jack had left me. "Some one will have heard that." Jack went over to a table and some coat hangers on the wall.

"Not without my affects." He said importantly. He grabbed his things off the wall and started to put them back on. I rolled my eyes at the amount of time it was taking and decided to hurry him up. Adjusting my glasses so they wouldn't fall off in my attempt to make a run for it, I reached up and grabbed Jack's hat off his head and put it on. He wasn't expecting it, so I managed to make it a safe distance before he reached up and noticed I had it. "Luv, I'm goin' to be needin' my hat."

"Not unless you get a move on it. Let's go Maria. Will." I said and turned to walk out of the jail. I got about ten steps before a certain Captain Sparrow was at my heel. Grabbing at his hat, I ducked and kept going.

"Ye do know, that ye can't wear to hat's at once." He told me, pointing out that I still had on my black hat with the feather and his at the same time. I grabbed his hat off my head, when I realized I would be crushing the peacock feather. Holding the hat just out of his reach, I smirked and took off at a run. Jack rolled his eyes and began to chase after me, as did Will. Coming to a stop under a bridge I turned back to see Maria trudging up the street, mumbling something about insanity and being left behind.

Laughing, I turned around and came face to face with Jack Sparrow. Who I can say, really must have wanted his hat back.
