Here's this chapter, might clear up some confusion on which movie this is set in. So, here you go, promise this chapter is longer and better than chapter 1... chapter 2 everyone...
Chapter 2
Jessica was running up the ship's colors -a massive black flag with a white skull and crossbones on it- like Barbossa had ordered her to do when she heard a call of "Ready the guns!"
She finished raising the flag then looked out over the bow finally realizing they were in a port.
"Oh-no, not again," Jessica half-moaned.
"Fire!" Barbossa yelled half a second later.
In seconds the cannons rang out. Some of the crew ran to the long boats, rowing ashore. Others stayed behind to man the cannons, which had just started to take return-fire from the fort to their port side.
Jessica walked up to Barbossa, "Captain?"
"Aye?"
"What do you want me to do?" Jessica asked hopeful to get off the ship.
"Stay here and wait for the gold," Barbossa said walking away.
"Aye, Captain," Jessica replied downcast.
Jessica sighed, she really wished she could have gone ashore. To get off the ship and seek refuge in the town would have been beyond good. Then she realized if she were associated with pirates, she'd be hung, maybe it was better to have stayed on the ship after all. She was stuck aboard the ship, again, all she could do was watch as the cannon balls made contact with shore. Soon fire covered most of the little town and there was clatter and gunfire from the soldiers on shore. Little did Jessica know two people she knew -and loved, for the most part- were on shore, unaware she was only hundreds of feet away.
After what seemed like an hour -it could have been any amount of time to Jessica- the crew that went ashore was back, plus one. Pintel and Ragetti had a woman with them. To Jessica's surprise, the woman wasn't struggling.
"I didn't know we were taking on captives," Jessica said.
"She's invoked the right of parley with Captain Barbossa," Pintel said.
"I am here to negotiate-" the woman started, but she was cut short by a slap in the face.
One of the biggest crew members walked up and slapped her in the face.
"You will speak when spoken to," he said.
"And ye will not lay a hand on those under the protection of parley,"said Barbossa.
"Aye, sir," he said walking away.
"My apologies, miss," Barbossa said.
"Captain Barbossa, I am here to negotiate the cessation of hostilities against Port Royal," the woman said.
"There are a lot of long words in there, miss. We're not but humble pirates," Barbossa said laughing.
The crew laughed and Jessica became interested in the conversation.
"What is it you want?" Barbossa asked.
"I want you to leave and never come back," the woman said.
The crew laughed again.
"I'm disinclined to acquiesce your request," Barbossa said and seeing the woman's confused face he added, "Means 'no'."
"Very well," the woman said yanking something from her neck and walking to the side of the ship.
Jessica wondered what she had and so did the rest of the crew, the watched her intently.
"I'll drop it," she said dangling a gold medallion over the edge of the ship.
Barbossa studied her and the gold medallion, then smiled.
"Me holds are bursting with swag, that bit of shine matters to us?" Barbossa said laughing.
"Why?" he quickly added.
"It's what you've been searching for. I recognize this ship. I saw it eight years ago on the crossing from England," the woman said.
"Did ya now?" Barbossa asked rhetorically.
"Fine. I suppose if it is worthless then there's no point in me keeping it," the woman said, letting some of the chain go.
All of the crew and Barbossa gasped taking a step forward when they thought she'd drop it. Jessica remained where she was. The woman smiled. Barbossa laughed and the woman took the medallion from over the railing into her hand.
"You have a name, missy?" Barbossa asked.
"Elizabeth... Turner. I'm a maid in the governor's household," she answered.
Jessica could hardly refrain from gasping. The crossing from England eight years ago. Her name was Turner! Will must be alive then, Jessica thought. But then again he couldn't. This woman obviously knew Will, but how?
She put the question aside.
"Miss Turner," Barbossa said to the crew.
There were shocked mutters from all the crew.
"Bootstrap," Jessica heard Pintel tell Ragetti.
"And how does a maid come to own a trinket such as that? Family heirloom, perhaps?" Barbossa said to Elizabeth.
"I didn't steal it. If that's what you mean," she answered.
Jessica knew that was not what Barbossa had meant.
"Very well then ye hand it over and we'll put your town to our rudder and ne're return," Barbossa said.
Elizabeth placed the medallion in Barbossa's hand slowly. He gave it to his monkey -Jack- who grabbed it, jumping from Barbossa's shoulder and running away.
"Our bargain?" Elizabeth asked firmly.
Barbossa turned away nodding to one of the crew.
"Still the guns and stow 'em," he said saying other words to the crew, but they were lost as Jessica focused on Elizabeth.
She ran after Barbossa.
"Wait! You have to take me to shore!" Elizabeth said, "According to the Code of the order of the brethren..."
Barbossa cut her off, "First, your return to shore was not part of our negotiations nor agreement, so I must do nothing. And, secondly, you must be a pirate for the Pirate's Code to apply, and you're not. And, thirdly, the Code is more what you'd call guidelines, than actual rules. Welcome aboard the Black Pearl Miss Turner!" Barbossa said in anger.
Jessica grabbed Elizabeth by the arm.
"Come with me," she said pulling Elizabeth.
Once they were in the safety of Jessica's cabin -where she was kept prisoner all these years- she started talking.
"You said your name was Turner?" Jessica asked.
"Yes."
"Are you married?"
"What?" Elizabeth asked, seeming very confused.
"Just answer the question," Jessica said shortly trying to hide her anxiety.
"No, I'm not," Elizabeth said still seeming confused.
"Then you're lying," Jessica said a second after Elizabeth finished, "because I knew William Turner and I know he didn't have any siblings. So if you're not married, you're name couldn't possibly be Turner."
Elizabeth looked at Jessica, her eyes deep with confusion. Jessica kept her expression serious, even though she was extremely anxious inside.
"How do you know Will?" Elizabeth asked.
"'Know'? You mean to say Will is alive?" Jessica said her voice rising and face lighting up.
"Yes," Elizabeth said a bit of confusion in her voice.
Jessica covered her face with her hands, smiling. She laughed quietly with joy, tears of happiness streaming down her face onto her hands. After all these years of worrying and blaming herself it turned out Will never was dead, like she had thought. Jessica let out a sigh of relief that she had been holding in for eight years, finally she had some closure. She slowly stood back up, firring back at Elizabeth.
"How do you know Will?" she asked Elizabeth.
"Eight years ago we -my father and I- were sailing on the crossing to England, coming back to Port Royal when I saw a boy floating in the water on a board. The crew hauled him aboard, he told me his name was Will Turner. We came up and saw a ship that had been blown to pieces and I saw this ship sailing away. I've known Will ever since."
Jessica was surprised, Will hadn't been on the ship when it blew up, and Elizabeth's ship had picked him up adrift.
"How do you know Will, then?" Elizabeth asked.
Jessica almost glared at her, before she realized that if Will hadn't told Elizabeth of her that it was Will's fault.
"I've known Will for as long as I can remember. We grew up together, practically lived together. Until eight years ago,anyway. We were coming to Port Royal together after his mother died and both my parents were killed in war. We were almost to Port Royal when the ship was invaded by pirates. They took me, but couldn't find Will. They put gunpowder in the ship and lit it. Barbossa forced me to watch as the ship blew up in flames. I...I thought Will was still aboard the ship, for eight years I thought he was dead. For eight years I've been prisoner to the Black Pearl."
"That's awful," Elizabeth said.
"It is. Now, why did you take Will's name?"
"I-I- I don't know," Elizabeth said ducking her head.
"Yes you do," Jessica said sternly.
Elizabeth looked up, "I thought the pirates wanted to kidnap me because I was the governor's daughter."
"Aye, I would have done the same," Jessica said. "I wish, though, that was why they took you."
Elizabeth's face was filled with confusion as Jessica walked across the cabin.
The girls talked for a while, the gentle crash of the waves beneath the ship the only other noise. Elizabeth talked of everything that had happened since Jessica had been separated from Will, and Jessica informing Elizabeth on things she needed to know about being on the Black Pearl.
"And one thing you should know is that the pirates on this ship are-" Jessica started to say as the cabin door was opened, but shut her mouth mid-sentence.
Jessica looked in the direction of the door to see Pintel and Ragetti come in.
"Yes?" Jessica asked, agitation edging her voice.
"You'll be dinning with the Captain," Pintel said to Elizabeth. "And he requests you wear this."
Pintel held up a plum-colored dress.
"Well, you may tell the Captain that I am disinclined to acquiesce his request," Elizabeth said matter-of-factly.
Jessica couldn't refrain a giggle.
"He said you'd say that, he also said if that be the case you'll be dinin' with the crew...and you'll be naked," Pintel said smiling.
Ragetti smiled as well, letting out a laugh.
"Give me that and go," Jessica demanded, snatching the dress from Pintel's hands.
"Fine," he said, and they both walked out.
Jessica looked at Elizabeth.
"You best put this on," she said handing Elizabeth the dress.
