Jack and Saphira POV
Wedding
Chapter 4
"Hurry up Jackie!" Yelled Saphira as she was running to get to the wedding. Jack was trailing behind, taking his sweet time. "Jackie!" She yelled again as she turned around to take his hand and pulled him along the streets in the village. "Saphie, you're acting like we're being chased by cannibals." He said.
"I'm sorry! I just don't want to be late!-" She answered as they continued along. "-After all, we don't even know where it is! All Lila said was, 'Go to the courtyard'. Jack sighed as they continued along. "Darlin' you must calm down. We'll find it...eventually."
"Jackie! Eventually isn't good enough! We need to get there in time! Don't forget...your Father is there and expecting you to be there in time." Hearing this Jack quickened his pace and said, "Hurry along Saph! We don't 'ave much time!" She rolled her eyes and muttered, "...men..."
Jack went faster as he kept thinking how his father would react if he was late. He remembered once when he was late, his father set a trap, so that when he finally arrived he was pulled upside-down hanging from one foot. Who knows what his father would do to him now, at his cousins wedding.
He and Saphira kept on going, and they both knew it was getting about time to start, so Jack did what he had to do...he asked for directions...which pirates hated to do. " 'Scuse me, mate. You wouldn't 'appen to know where the courtyard is, would ya?", He asked a older man who was sweeping outside his store. "What be it to ya?", The man replied with a thick Irish Accent. Jack grabbed the man up by the collar. "Me cousin, the queen, is gettin' married, savvy?"
"Down the street to da right.", The man, now with a quite scared look on his face, said to Jack.
Saphira sighed. "Do you really think that was necessary, Jackie? Scaring an old man half to death?"
"Darlin', a pirate's 'ot to do what a pirate's 'ot to do. Besides, I wasn't actually goin' to hurt 'im.", Jack replied with a smirk.
They went the way that the old Irish man told them, and arrived in a crowd of people. "Oi! Jackie!", Called a voice from the front of the crowd of people. "Dad!" Jack said back. It was Captain Teague. "Get over here, boy!" Teague yelled. "Come on Saphie, before he hurts me.", Jack said as he pulled her through the crowd of people. "Jackie...he's your father, he wouldn't hurt you.", Saphira replied. As they reached the front of the crowd of people, Teague gave Jack a small smack on the head. "Almost late for your cousin's wedding.", he said as he shook his head. Jack almost opened his mouth to blame Saphira, even though it wasn't her, but he decided to shut his mouth for once. He didn't want to be smacked twice. Saphira smiled and looked at Jack. "Alright...so you proved me wrong.", she said quietly, so only Jack could hear. "Told you he would hurt me.", Jack smirked at her.
They turned and saw Will standing at the Alter, looking quite nervous, but not as nervous as he could be.
Just then the music started playing the traditional wedding march. Saphira was holding onto Jack's arm. Lila started walking down the aisle with Neptune, her father. Jack winked at her and smiled. Saphira also smiled as well. She noticed Captain Teague looked proud, as Lila was the closest thing he had to a daughter. Lila reached the alter and her father gave her a kiss on the cheek. She turned to Will.
"Is there anyone here present that wishes these two to not be wed? Speak now, or forever hold your peace." Lila glared at Jack, who had his arm halfway raised up. Jack returned a sarcastic look of hurt to her and Saphira giggled and smacked his arm. Jack put it down and whispered, "Why must everyone feel the need to hit me today?" Saphira smiled and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
"Do you Lila Mercedes Sparrow-Parrish, take William Jonathan Turner to be your husband?"
"I do." Lila said softly.
"And do you, William Jonathan Turner, take Lila Mercedes Sparrow-Parrish, to be your wife."
"Of course I do." Will Answered the wigged priest.
"And I now pronounce you husband and wife. William, you may kiss your bride."
Everyone clapped as the two kissed.
"It is my great honor to introduce you to, Their Royal Highnesses, Mr. and Mrs. William Turner.", said the priest.
The wedding was over, and it was now time for the reception ball. Everyone watched as Will and Lila walked down the aisle to the castle. Jack and Will locked gazes for a moment, and Jack nodded at him. Jack no longer loved Lila like that, he loved Saphira.
"Shall we go to the ball, dearrie? I hear there's rum!", Jack said as he smiled to Saphira. The two followed the crowd of people to the palace. Once inside, they made their way to the ball room.

Ballroom Reception
Jack was wandering around the ballroom. It was a very large room with a high, gold ceiling. It was hard to find certain people in a crowd. He finally found Saphira. She was mingling with a group of women, all about her age. Jack went up to her, took her hand, and bowed.
"Miss Dawson, would you like to dance?", He asked. Saphira had a look of surprise on her face, but smiled and gladly took his hand.
They approached the dance floor, and got in a traditional waltz position. The music started and they danced, twirling on the large dance floor. "You look beautiful, angel.", Jack said while they continued dancing. "Thank you.", Saphira answered, blushing. "Jackie, how do you know how to dance? You're a pirate, pirates don't dance.", She said. "Darlin', my father may like to smack me, but he's not completely useless.", Jack smirked. Saphira giggled. Being in his arms felt so right. It all felt so right. Jack smiled at her. As the song came to an end, Jack lead her back to the chairs, never letting go of her hand. They both stayed like that for awhile, just watching people dance, talking, and drinking rum.
After some time passed, they noticed Will and Lila were no where to be found. They knew they were at their honeymoon. Most of the guests were gone, only about twenty remained.
Suddenly a boy, no older than twelve, ran up to them. "Captain Sparrow?" he asked, panting. "An urgent note from a Mister Gibbs." Jack quickly ripped open the small piece of paper. It read:
Jack,
We have just received news that the EITC is for sure, looking for Saphira.
Her father is head of part of it, and has a search party out for her, killing any pirates in his path.
He believes pirates took Saphira.
His next stop is here, and he was spotted close.
He could be here in the next three hours.
Make haste, Jack.
Everyone's lives are at stake on the Pearl.
You could lose Saphira, your ship, and your life.
We'll be ready to cast off at any time.
Gibbs
Saphira noticed the change on Jack's face. "Jackie? What is it?", she asked him. "Your father 's coming here, could be here in three hours. We have to leave. We'll need extra help. Will and Lila.", he said. "Follow me, I think I know where they are. Don't worry, love."

Interruptions
They both hurried along the corridors. Jack thought they would be in a wing of the castle that was empty, and there was only one wing that was, tonight, empty. It was dark in the hallway, and Saphira was holding onto Jack's arm quite tightly. In his other arm was a candle, their only other light source. "Saph, darlin', you're hurtin' me arm."Jack said, breaking the silence. "Sorry.", she replied. They made their way slowly in the dark, until they came upon a room that had light coming from under the door. Saphira tripped over the wrinkled rug on the floor. Jack caught her before she could hit the ground. Just then they heard:
"LILA MERCEDES! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"
They heard feet thumping and then a scream. Soon after the scream, they heard what sounded like a sword falling.
"Will, what did you think I was going to do? I heard something is all..."
"Stay here."
"Like I really will, William."
"Well, fine. Do what you must, but stay behind me."
Jack took this moment to take Saphira and pull her into the room next door to hide. After sometime, he noticed there was another door in this room, adjoining to Will and Lila's room. Jack pressed his ear against this door and motioned for Saphira to stay close. He was waiting for the opportune moment to interrupt.
"Oh my goodness..." Will groaned when they went into complete and utter darkness. "This is just peachy. Li, where are you? LILA?"
Jack noticed all the light was gone. There was a breeze that blew all their candles out. He took this as the moment and opened the door quietly. He bumped into, what he knew was Lila, when she screamed. Will fell and a bang was heard through out the room, as well as shouts of Lila's name. Jack chuckled. "You seem rather shocked to see me. Or rather not see me, since we are in complete darkness."
