Neptune's long blonde hair was blowing in the wind as he walked along the streets of that small town. "Andrew, are you mad?" He scolded the young Admiral as he pulled the gun out of his hands, "I want my daughter back, not dead."
Andrew didn't say anything, only nodded as Neptune tossed the gun to Rupert who was standing behind him. "Have you talked to anyone?" Neptune asked, getting over it apparently, and continued to walk down the now deserted streets. "No, Sir."
"Why ever not?" Neptune spat at him as he whirled around. Andrew was taken back by this, and just stared into Neptune's murderous face as he said, "I'm getting a tad bit fed up with you, Admiral, I must say. I'm starting to question your intentions." Andrew was completely at a loss for words when he said that. Neptune took a warning step towards him and said, "What are your intentions?"
"To find my fiancee, Sir. And to aid you in the war." Andrew said, trying to mantain his tough, unphased voice. Rupert was eyeing him suspiciously as Neptune stared at him. Rupert was starting to question Andrew as well. It seemed as if Andrew was keeping a secret from them, and if you asked Rupert, he suspected that it was because the crown was now at stake. What he couldn't place, is that even if Neptune and Lila were killed, or stepped down, the crown would go to the next royal family, being Calypso. Lila's godmother.
"Sir, if I may?" Rupert asked, stepping in front of the shocked Admiral. Neptune nodded at the young man, and Rupert said, "I've got a Gwen Matthews back at the Morning Sun. She's familar with Li- I mean, the princess. She saw them."
Neptune smiled over at Rupert, wondering why he hadn't asked him to marry his daughter. As it was seeming, Rupert was more concerned about his daughter's safety than Andrew was. "Nice work, Rupert." Before following him back to the Sun, Neptune stopped and said to Andrew in a warning voice, "You're not leaving my sight."
"Jack!" Jack turned from Lena, who he was talking to, to see Will and Lila running up to them. "Jack-" Lila was running so fast that she would have fallen, had Jack not caught her, "Darlin', what's wrong-"
"-Neptune's here." Will said for her, trying to catch his breath. The amused look on Jack's face disappeared as he kept an arm around Lila and walked up to Will, "Where was he?"
"Back there-" Will said, motioning to the docks. "He didn't see us...but he was close-"
"Alright." Jack said, nodding at Will. Turning to the Pearl, he yelled up, "ROXY!" Her head appeared over the edge a few seconds later, "Be a dear and tell Master Gibbs that we shall be needing to leave. Immediatley." Roxy nodded about the same time that Jilly ran up to Jack and said, "They've got Gwen."
"Gwen who?" Jack asked, wrinkling his nose. "I don't remember-"
"Gwen Matthews, Jack." Lila said, looking up at his handsome face. "Remember? Her mother was a maid at Larry's inn? She came here to look for her father-" Lila turned to Jilly and asked, "Where did they take her?"
"I don't know. A man took her on to a ship." Anya said, coming to stand beside Jilly.
"What did the man look like?" Will asked the girls. Jilly shrugged, but Anya said, "Tall. In a Navy uniform. Purple and white uniform. He was very handsome. He had reddish hair, brown eyes. Why?" Jilly looked at Will, waiting for an answer, but Anya was looking at Lila who was nodding as she asked, "What did the ship look like?"
This time it was Jilly who answered, "Looked a bit like the Pearl, actually. But more Navy built, if you know what I mean. It's flags had a sun on them-" She cut off when she saw Lila's face. Lila turned to Jack and said in a quiet voice, "Jack, it's the Sun. Rupert took-"
"Alrighy, men." Jack started, but stopped when he saw Will. "Well, eunuch and ladies-" Will rolled his eyes as Jack said, "We're going to split up and rescue Miss Matthews from Ronald-"
"Rupert." Lila corrected Jack, automatically.
"Yes, Rupert's grasp as well as her father's." Jack looked back up to the Pearl and yelled, "ROXY!"
"WHAT?" She yelled back down at him, obviously fed up with him already. Jack rolled his eyes and yelled up at her, "Tell Gibbs not to worry about it. We have a need to stay." She groaned and walked away from the rail, to find Gibbs once again.
"Alright then." Jack said to the group, moments later as they neared where the Sun had made port. Jack motioned for the girls and Will to stand behind him. Turning back to them, he said, "We're splitting up. Will, go with Roxy-"
"No." Roxy said, crossing her arms. "What do you mean no?" Jack asked her, crossing his own arms looking her in the eye. "Of course you're going-"
"No, I'm not."
"I'm going with Lila, so you're going with Will." Jack said to her, narrowing his eyes. Roxy laughed and said, "No, I'm not."
Lila rolled her eyes and said, "Both of you, shut up. Alright?" She hopped on to a barrel and said, "You act as if your bloody brother and sister. Alright, I'll split us up. Since Roxy's probably the strongest out of us girls, she'll lead Bella, Anya and Jilly. Lena will accompany Jack, Will and myself-" She turned to look at Jack and Will and said with a sigh, "-that way I can keep an eye on both of you. All in favor of that?"
"Aye." Roxy said, taking one of the flares from Jack. Jack rolled his black eyes, but was obviously very pleased at the fact that he was walking with Lila. Anya pulled her brown waves up and asked, "What do we do if one us is captured?"
"Shoot this flare-" Will said, pointing to the green one. "There's four of the green ones, four of the red ones. If one of you is captured, shoot a green one. If you rescue Gwen before we can get to you, shoot a red one-"
"And if one of you dies, scream as if Hector Barbossa asked you to marry him-" Jack said, smirking as he pushed himself off of the wall. "-and if we have no luck whatsoever, we will meet back at the Pearl in...one hour. Sound good?"
"Sounds dangerous and completely stupid." Jilly said with a sigh, "But yes. We really don't have a choice, do we?" Jack smiled at her as he put an hand on her shoulder and said to her, "No, love. Ye don't."
Lila felt Will's arm push her back against the ship. She put her's on his, waiting for Rupert to pass by. Lena and Jack finally caught up to them, and did the same when they saw him. When he was gone, the four made their way over to the edge of the ship. "Where would they be keeping her?" Lena asked Lila as the two girls followed Jack and Will into the ship. Lila shrugged and said, "Not sure. Probably the captain's quarters. My father has to big of a heart, so he rarely uses the brig."
"You know damn well what I'm talking about-" They heard something hit the table, more or less, a fist. "-where is she?" The four carefully made their way to the other side of the door and looked in to see Gwen sitting at the table, as Beckett circled her. Neptune was sitting in the far corner, not really paying attention to her.
"I told you. Jack Sparrow came here last weekend to round up a crew. I was in line to join, but he found enough. That was a week ago! I don't know where she is, I swear." Gwen was a pretty good liar. Especially considering the fact that Jack had rounded up his crew just hours ago.
"You're lying-" Andrew spat at her. "-I know you are. You were once friends with Lila, weren't you? You mother was the maid at the inn Jack and Lila frequently stayed at. You are her friend, and you know damn well where they are-" When Gwen didn't answer, Beckett slammed his fists down once more and said, "ANSWER ME!"
"I don't think she knows, Admiral. Stand down, for heaven's sake! She's a child." Neptune said, defending the 15 year old girl that was sitting before him.
"She's not a child, she's a damn pirate-"
"I don't care what the hell she is-" Neptune said, pushing Andrew backwards. "-she's a child! Stand down immediatley or I will make you stand down and you'll lose your position, because I've about had it with you and your bloody lies. Do you hear me?" Neptune spat at Andrew who was walking backwards.
"Yes, Sir."
"Damn right." Neptune whirled around so fast, that because of his cloak, he was a purple flash momentarily. As Andrew began intterogating once more, Lila walked over to the end of the hallway and grabbed a candle. "What are you doing, Li?" Will whispered as she took a flare out of the bag. "I said to myself, think like Jack." She whispered back to Will, sending a smirk in Jack's direction. He smiled down at her as the three backed up behind her. "When I say go-" She said, placing the flare over the candle and nodding towards a closet, "-go in there, savvy?"
They nodded at Lila and waited for her signal, "Go!" She whispered harshly as she dropped the now flaming flare. The four ran in the closet and locked the door. A few moments later, a loud bang when off. They heard voices and footsteps running back and forth. Only being able to see from the small candle Lila was still holding, Jack whispered, "What now, Princess?"
Lila was cut off from her thoughts when she felt Will holding her hand. She looked down at their entwined hands in shock...staring as if they were so completely mesmorizing... "Princess!"
"What?" She asked, unfortunatley making Will let go of her hand. "Oh, sorry, Jack." She reached over and unlocked the door as she whispered, "Just follow me and don't do anything stupid." She felt Will close at her heels as Jack whispered, "When do I ever?"
"Damn, Jack." Will whispered, causing Jack to laugh. Rolling her green eyes, Lila took Will's hand and ran out of the closet. Lena collided with Lila as she whispered, "Where's Jack?" Lila turned around to see Jack still in the closet. "Jack, get out of the damn closet!"
Jack was smirking as emerged in a powdered wig, causing Will to laugh as Jack said, "Good day. I'm Commodore Norrington." Will and Jack laughed as Jack pranced around the hall swinging his hips back and forth as he did so, "Aren't I so pretty?"
"Excuse me, Commodore. But I do believe that if you two don't shut up, we could very well get killed!" Lila whispered to the two boys that were now laughing almost to the point where she was surprised that they were still able to breath. Hell, Lena was even laughing now. Lila rolled her eyes as Jack tossed her a wig and said, "Want to be Lord Beckett-"
"-no I do not want to be Lord Beckett." She said, throwing the wig back so that it hit Jack in the face. "Bloody hell." She motioned for them to follow her in the direction of the room. Everyone was so worried about the boat going into flames, that the hall was deserted. Jack had found a new wig. This one was long and curly. He smirked at Will and said, "Look! I'm Governor Swann!" Will started laughing again, but tried up when he saw Lila's face.
"I like being Norrington better." Jack said, switching wigs as they walked into the room where Gwen was tied up. She looked up at them and said in surprise, "Lila?" Lila ran up and hugged her as she said, "Oh, darling. I'm so sorry." She pulled out her sword and cut off her ropes. When Gwen was free, she wrapped her arms around Lila and said, "Jack?"
The two girls turned around to see Jack doing another Norrington impression. Will stopped laughing when he saw Lila's face. And Jack just started swinging his hips more. "Jack, darling. Stop. That is so-"
But Lila never got a chance to finish what she was going to say, because at that time, a voice from behind her called out, "Princess."
When Lila saw Will's face, she wished that she never even looked at him. Her heart pounding against her chest, she spun around to face him.
Trying to force a smile, she managed to choke out, "Rupert."
