Chapter 2
I followed him all the way down the dock until suddenly he turned on me, "You, girl why are you following me? Go and follow someone else love..
"I'm Lydia, and I don't mean to be rude but you looked like a pirate" I half whispered. "I am interested in pirates very much so." I stated earnestly.
"Well then Lydia, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, pleased to make your acquaintance" he said with a bow and an elaborate flourish of his arm.
Jack tried to steal or commandeer a ship (nautical term apparently), though the two idiots they had wouldn't believe the estranged man babbling like a monkey. Then from the top of the cliffs a girl fell in a ball of gold and ivory silk. Then echoing round the whole of Port Royal was a cry (probably the Commodore) of "ELIZABETH!" Everyone froze for a minute then I rolled my eyes and muttered under my breath "typical." Captain Jack raised an eyebrow at me then declared that since neither the soldiers and obviously I would save her that he would do it himself." He thrust a brown tri-corn hat and shockingly a pistol into my hands and gave the gormless soldiers his coat and cutlass, and promptly dived into the water.
He was under the water for ages, then his head bobbed up spluttering for air then sunk back under the water, I was worried that he would drown and then his head came out of the water after taking off everything but Elizabeth's underclothes, slip and shoes. Everyone was shocked especially Commodore Norrington when he appeared after he realised that in front of a group of soldiers that the woman he wanted to marry had her corset cut off of her by a pirate!
Captain Jack was holding some strange necklace of Elizabeth's asking her where she got it. Hardly the time and place to steal her jewellery, which he is more than likely considering".
The Commodore was in shock seeing Elizabeth their her father the Governor pulled her up and laid his coat around her shoulders so that Elizabeth's reputation wouldn't be completely ruined, the Commodore decided though to hold his sword to the man who saved the girl he loved throat. "Great," I muttered under my breath. Hoping too much of a scene wouldn't be caused as I wanted some more time to get to know the pirate. He was ordering Jack onto his feet, just at that minute one of the idiotic guards decided to show Norrington Lizzy's corset, of course Norrington and the Governor lost it, the Governor decided that Jack should be shot! For once in her life Elizabeth spoke up in the right way but in a sort of flirty way at the same, "Commodore do you really intend to kill my rescuer." Clearly. I thought sarcastically to myself.
Norrington seemed to decide that he had forgiven the pirate by shaking his hand, Captain Jack tentatively took the Commodore's hand but the Commodore held onto his hand and lifted up his sleeve to reveal Jack's pirate brand and sparrow tattoo. This made Norrington decide to arrest the Captain, and clam him in irons he sent his right hand man Gillette to get some, whilst the stupid guards told him about the incident on the ship when we tried to commandeer one.
This was when I was noticed they all turned to look at me in a disappointed way whilst Elizabeth smirked, I told them that we both happened to be in the same place at the same time and that he told me that his name was Mr. Smith. A lie of coarse but whatever it took to save my own skin. "Pirate" Captain Jack mouthed at me when the Commodore wasn't looking and smirked. I just rolled my eyes at that and whilst Norrington inspected Jacks affects scathingly. He called Jack the worst pirate that he had ever seen that HAD to be a lie, you can't judge a person by what they do or own but who they are as a person I think.
Gillette finally arrived with some irons which he clamped Jack in, suddenly Jack grabbed Elizabeth and made her give him his affects, she looked repulsed and he looked rather flirty. He quickly shoved Elizabeth into the soldiers, and said to me "are you coming love?" I nodded and grabbed hold of his waist; I somehow had thrown my lot in with a pirate, within two minutes of knowing him! We landed of the rope of the cannon winch after circling in the air about forty times onto the wooden bridge, I could hear people shouting "don't shoot you could hit her!" and " he's kidnapped the bakers daughter catch him!"
He hadn't kidnapped me at all we ran through the town hiding behind the wooden figure outside the blacksmiths which I then dragged him inside.
"Please don't break anything my friend works hear and he hates pirates, leave him alone!" I said trying to make Captain Jack stop poking Mr. Brown.
"I don't think he's going to mind much love." Captain Jack said
"That's not him that's his master! Now let's get you out of those shackles" I said exhausted already. I tried hitting the chains with a hammer. Didn't Work. I tried heating the chains. Didn't work... I just burnt the Captain.
Jack strode over towards poor Henry the donkey and burnt him with the poker the cogs and wheels started to turn and Jack broke his shackles. I told him off about burning Henry and then suddenly the door started to open we both dove into hiding places out of sight. Although we were out of sight I had left the hammer out and Jacks hat was resting on top of the anvil.
Then Will entered, "That's my friend Will I whispered sighing."
Will strode into the shop removing his coat and undoing his shirt and waistcoat, whilst I began to stare with my mouth open, until Jack unceremoniously nudged me but a little too hard and I slipped out of my squatting position into the middle of the shop, right next to Will's feet!
"Ah hello Will I erm lost an earring." I said unconvincingly, Two days in row I have fallen over in the blacksmiths yesterday through the door onto my bottom and now this!
Will seemed more concerned though about the hat perched on top of his anvil and was reaching out to touch it when I sword hit his hand, and Jack Sparrow strode out of the shadows, Will started rambling about how Jack had threatened Lizzy dearest and kidnapped me.
"Will he hasn't kidnapped me." I stated simply, he just gawked at me with his mouth open.
"Lydia, please don't tell me you know this man, let alone went with him voluntarily, and brought him back to my place of work!" oh S**t he's angry.
"Will" I said cautiously "please don't be angry with me, but I need an adventure... to get out of Port Royal and he's my ticket."
"Don't be angry! I am so angry I am not even speaking to you right now, other than Elizabeth I have known you the longest and trust you the most."
"Other than Elizabeth you trust me the most ... Other than Elizabeth... That's exactly why I want to leave" I spoke my voice cracking slightly threatening tears.
"Back to the plot my dear love birds" exclaimed Jack .Then I wasn't really listening any more until I heard the clang of metal, I was not going to get involved still hurt from earlier, until they started to get more serious fighting after Will wouldn't let Jack escape. They were fighting on the cart trailer and I the rafters I started shouting at them mainly at Will.
"Will stop it! STOP IT!" I screeched my voice hitting a shrill ear-splitting tone " One of you is going to get hurt probably killed and if you kill jack Will I am going to murder you as well I ranted being ignored by both men "and If you kill Will god help you, you will regret ever setting eyes on me". Then they both swung down from the rafters Jack through the bag of dust in Will's eyes momentarily blinding him, Will drew a hammer, Jack pulled out his pistol and I screamed.
They both gave me a strange look and then Will was scolding Jack for cheating, where's the sense in that? "Will move out the way." I spoke gently. "No!" he shouted at both of us I was about to shout again at Will and Will had a funny look on his face, I turned around to see Jack hit over the head with Mr. Brown's empty rum bottle by none the other than Mr. Brown. At this point the Commodore barged in and dumbass Mr. Brown took all the credit for Will's battle even though I was slightly annoyed at Will and him at me I whispered "At least those bottles come in handy for something" We both sniggered as Jack was being dragged away along with my chance of escape.
