Chapter 2.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jack's POV.

I was sitting in my jail cell trying to block out the idiots in the next cell from me.

"Come here doggy!" One of them whispered.

"Here's a nice juicy bone!?" Another muttered waving a bone from their cell.

The dog with the keys just sat there looking at them like they were idiots, which they are.

"You can keep doing that forever, the dog is never going to move." I told them.

"Oh, excuse us if we haven't resigned ourselves to the gallows just yet." The one with the bone replied.

I just sat back against the wall and let my mind drift. For some reason I couldn't get that girl that I battled today out of my head. She seemed so familiar, when I saw her I felt strange emotions fly through me. I then promised my self that I would see and figure out that girl if it's the last thing I do.

Crystals POV.

I walked up to Elizabeth "home" well it's basically a mansion but anyway. I finally reached the doorway after that stupidly long entrance.

'They really need to get like a carriage or something there so they don't kill people with exhaustion!' I panted.

I straightened up and knocked loudly on the door. I stood there for like ten seconds before the door man dude finally opened up the door.

"Ah Miss Crystal, please do come in." He smiled.

"Why thank you." I replied.

I looked around the house.

'Yep still big and full of priceless treasures.' I thought.

I let out a sigh before turning back to the doorman.

"Where is Elizabeth?" I asked.

"Miss Swann is in her bedroom." He replied.

"Thank you." I nodded.

I walked away from the doorman and up Elizabeth's stairs.

'What's up with all the stairs and exercise in this place!' I mentally yelled.

When I reached the top I slowly walked over to Elizabeth's door, I could faintly hear some voices. Being me I just had to eavesdrop on their convocation so I put my ear lightly on the door. I could faintly hear Elizabeth's maid talk to her.

"There you go, Miss. It was a difficult day for you, I'm sure." Estella said.

"I suspected Commodore Norrington would propose but I must admit, I wasn't entirely prepared for it." Elizabeth replied.

'Yeah I don't think that's what she was talking about Eli.' I thought.

"Well, I meant you being threatened by that pirate. Sounds terrifying!" Estella explained.

"Oh, yes, it was terrifying." Elizabeth sighed.

"But the Commodore proposed! Fancy that! Now, that's a smart match, Miss, if it's not to bold to say." Estrella said.

"It is a smart match. He's a fine man; he's what any woman should dream of marrying." Elizabeth sighed.

'Fine man my ass!' I gagged.

"Well, that Will turner, he's a fine man, too." Estrella suggested.

"That is to bold." Elizabeth replied harshly.

"Well, begging your pardon, Miss. It was not my place." Estrella apologizes.

I decided to walk in at that moment.

"What wrong with Will? He's a better man than Norrington." I teased.

"Hi Crystal! You startled me!" Elizabeth gasped.

"It's what I do best!" I smirked giving a mocking bow.

"You always know how to make me smile." Elizabeth said with a grin.

"Why thank you. I came here to see if you are ok, but by the look of things you seem very much fine." I smirked looking around at the fancy bedroom.

"Why yes I am fine, thanks for asking. So may I ask why you hate Norrington so much?" Elizabeth asked.

"I've never liked him and he's a phony. He gets through life with getting others to do his work." I scowled.

"Well I think you are mistaken." Elizabeth defended.

"I'm not in the mood to argue about someone I hate so good day to you, Elizabeth, and I'll see you later." I said with a bow before leaving the room.

I left the the mansion and headed back to Wills shop.

Norrington's POV.

I was walking on the top of the fort with Governor Swann.

"Has my daughter given you an answer yet?" He asked.

"No, she hasn't." I sighed sadly.

"Well, she has had a very trying day. Ghastly weather, don't you think?" Swann said.

"Bleak. Very bleak." I agreed.

All of a sudden there was a loud boom that came from below.

"What's that?" Governor Swann asked.

"Cannon fire!" I yelled.

I tackled Swann to the ground so he was shielded.

"Return fire!" I ordered.

Jacks POV.

I heard very familiar cannons being blasted off in the distance.

"I know those guns." I said.

I jumped up from my seat and climbed to the window. In the distance I saw the Black Pearl, MY Black Pearl.

"It's the Pearl!" I murmured.

"The Black Pearl? I've heard stories. She's been preying on ships and settlements for near ten years. Never leaves any survivors." A prisoner explained.

"No survivors? Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?" I pointed out.

I watched as the Pearls gun started destroying the forts and houses. I saw smaller boats coming into shore, I realized that it was the crew. After a while of battling I saw a cannon fly through the air towards the jail. I dived to the floor as did the other prisoners. The whole building shook as the cannon connected to it with a loud *BOOM!* I looked up to see a giant hole in the other prisoners cell and a tiny hole that was barely the size of half my head in mine. All the prisoners ran out yelling in happiness.

"My sympathies, friend, you've no manner of luck at all." The last one grins.

He ran out of the jail and I sighed.

'I have the worst luck.' I thought.

I reached into the other cell and grabbed the bone, waving it outside my cell and proceeding to whistle loudly.

"Come on, doggy. It's just you and me now. It's you and ol' Jack. Come on. Come on, good boy. That a good boy, come on! Just a little closer….." I egged.

The dog started walking slowly towards me.

"That's it, that's it doggy. Come on you filthy, slimy, mangy cur!" I yelled.

Then all of a sudden there was a big crash from the stairs and the dog runs away.

"No, no, no, no, no, I didn't mean it. I didn't..." I yelped.

I stopped because a guard was thrown down the stairs and crashed into the wall. Two men come down and I recognize them as Twigg and Koehler.

"This ain't the armoury!" Twigg growls looking around.

I watch as Koehler looks at me and smiles.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here Twigg... Captain Jack Sparrow." He smirked.

Twigg looked at me and spat at the ground in front of me.

"Last time I saw you, you were all alone on a godforsaken island, shrinking into the distance. His fortunes aren't improved much." Twigg sneered.

"Worry about your own fortunes, gentlemen. The deepest circle of Hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers." I smirked.

Koehler roared in anger and his hand flew to my throat. I look at his arm and I saw a skeleton arm instead of skin.

"So there is a curse. That's interesting." I gasped.

"You know nothing of Hell." Koehler growled.

Without another word they turned and left.

"That's very interesting." I smirked.

Crystals POV.

I heard cannons and I looked at Will.

"Pirates." He growled.

We grabbed some swords and ran out of the shop. Will saw a pirate about to kill a maid but Will saved her by throwing a hatchet into his back.

"Nice shot!" I smiled.

"Thanks." Will grinned back.

"Let's go kill some pirates!" I cheered.

We charged forward and started battling pirates that were about to hurt people. I started battling some giant guy, he grabbed me from behind.

"Say goodbye." He hissed in my ear.

I saw the sign above us start to fall, I ripped myself from his grasp and dived to the ground. The sign slammed into him and he was thrown backwards threw the window behind him.

"Goodbye!" I smirked.

I turned to see Will looking at something and then a pirate came up behind him and knocked him out.

"WILL!" I screamed.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw what Will was looking at. Elizabeth was being kidnapped by the pirates. I ran forward to help Elizabeth but a pirate holding grenades appeared in front of me. He waved at me and I looked at him confused. He pointed to my feet and saw a grenade at my feet. I gasped but then saw the grenade splutter out. I smirked at the pirate and went to slash at him with my sword but before I could I was hit on the back of my head by something. Darkness came over me before I could even say ow.

*Next Morning*

I woke up and I saw Will yelling at Norrington.

"They've taken her! They've taken Elizabeth!" Will yelled.

"Mr Murtogg, remove this man." Norrington said calmly.

"We have to hunt them down! We must save her!" Will shouted.

'Oh god, Wills going to do something stupidly rash.' I sighed.

"And where do you propose we start? If you have any information concerning my daughter, please share it." Governor Swann said.

"That Jack Sparrow. He talked about the Black Pearl." One of the soldiers stated.

"Mentioned it, is more what he did." Another said.

"Ask him where it is. Make a deal with him. He could lead us to it." Will said.

"No...The pirates who invaded this Fort left Sparrow locked in his cell ergo they are not his allies. Governor, we establish their most likely course..." Norrington said completely ignoring Will.

I saw anger cover Wills face and he slammed his hatchet into the table.

"That's not good enough!" He roared.

Norrington looks at the hatchet and then faces Will again.

"Mr Turner, you are not a military man, you are not a sailor. You are a blacksmith and this is not the moment for rash actions. Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth." He hissed.

He handed Will back his hatchet. I felt pain fly though my head, I let out I giant groan.

"Crystal! Are you ok?!" Will cried, finally noticing me on the ground.

"Sure, let's go with that." I groaned.

Will kneeled down next to me and looked over me.

"Your head is bleeding but not that much and you have a few sword cuts." Will explained.

I struggled to get to my feet and felt dizziness come over me and I nearly fell face first into the dirt but Will caught me.

"Maybe you should lie down." Will said nervously.

"Yeah like that will happen." I muttered.

A stood still for a few seconds and the dizziness cleared.

"What's your plan?" I asked.

"What?" Will said looking confused.

"Your stupid plan to save Elizabeth." I explained.

"So you're in?" He asked.

"Depends on the plan." I said.

"Come on." Will smiled.

"I have a feeling that this wont be good." I muttered.

*JAIL*

"Can you take your hand off my eyes?" I asked.

We had been walking for ages and Will made me close my eyes but he knows I always cheat so he put his hand over my eyes to.

"Sure." Will said...nervously?

His hand lifted off my eyes and I opened them to see Jack Sparrow sitting there in front of me.

"Why are we here?" I hissed.

Jack turned around to see me and he gave a smile that made my heart jump.

" 'Ello, love." He smiled.

I scowled at him before turning to Will.

"Is this really your idea?!" I frowned.

"Yep!" Will smiled sheepishly.

I frowned at him but then gestured for him to continue.

"You. Sparrow!" Will called.

"Aye." Jack replied calmly.

"You are familiar with that ship-the Black Pearl." Will asked.

"I've heard of it." Jack shrugged.

"Where does it make berth?" Will asked.

I tried as hard as I could to stifle my laugh but unfortunately you could hear it a bit. Jack stared at me smiling before turning back to Will.

"Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta. It's an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is." Jack explained.

"The ships real enough. Therefore its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?!" Will cried angrily.

"Why ask me?" Jack asked studying his nails.

'Typical Jack!' I thought.

"Because you're a pirate." Will said like it was obvious.

"And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?" Jack asked.

"Never! They took Miss Swann!" Will explained.

"Oh, so it is that you've found a girl. I see. Well, if you're intending to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady's heart you'll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me." Jack groaned.

"I can get you out if here." Will offered.

"How's that? The keys run off." Jack smirked.

I started laughing at how weird that sounded. Jack looked over to me and grinned again.

"I helped build these cells. These are half pin-barrel hinges." Will said.

He grabbed a bench near by and placed two of its legs in some of the cell doors gap.

"With the right leverage and the proper application of strength...the door will lift free." Will explained.

"What's your name?" Jack asked.

"Will Turner." Will replied.

"That will be short for William, I imagine. Good, strong name. No doubt, name for your father, eh?" Jack smiled.

"Yes." Will replied.

"Uh-huh. Well, Mr Turner, I've changed my mind. If you spring me from this cell I swear on pain of death I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an accord?" Jack asked extending his hand.

"Agreed." Will said shaking his hand.

"Agreed. Get me out." Jack shouted stepping back.

Will pushes on the bench and the door comes off its hinges with a loud CLANK!

"Hurry. Someone will have heard that." Will said.

"Not without my effects." Jack replied grabbing his sword and stuff.

"Are you coming?" Will asked me.

"Hmm let's see you want me to leave on a ship to find the girl you love and she doesn't know yet and you're also sailing with a pirate that I really hate." I summed up.

"Well, yeah." Will shrugged.

"Well, bye!" I smiled.

I turned around and started walking off when all of a sudden my feet weren't touching the ground and I was thrown over someone's shoulder.

"WHAT THE-!" I yelled.

I saw Will smiling in front of me and I realized who was holding me.

"JACK PUT ME DOWN!" I yelled.

"Not going to happen love." Jack smirked.

"Why not!?" I whinnied.

"Cause your the best sword woman I have ever met and I'm not going unless you are." Jack replied.

Jack started walking off with Will following him and me still over his shoulder.

"Well this is just wonderful." I muttered angrily.

"I know you get spend days on end with me on a boat which you can't get off!" Jack laughed.

"Shut the bloody hell up." I growled.

Jack just laughed some more and continued walking.

*Hiding near the ships under a bridge*

"We're going to steal the ship. That ship?" Will asked pointing to the Dauntless.

"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship. Nautical term. One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going. This girl- how far are you willing to go to save her?" Jack asked.

"I'd die for her." Will replied easily.

"Oh, good. No worries, then." Jack smiled.

"Yes because dying over someone is great." I muttered.

"Right on love." Jack grinned.

We followed Jack and he made up hide under a small boat. After the solider past us we entered the waters with the boat still above us.

"This is either madness or brilliance." Will gasped when he saw that the boat kept the water away from our head and that we could still breathe air.

"It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide." Jack muttered.

After a couple minutes walking across the bottom of the ocean we rose to the top and boarded the Dauntless.

"Everyone stay calm! We are taking over the ship." Jack announced.

"Aye! Avast!" Will cried.

I face palmed at Will as all the men on the ship laughed.

"This cannot be crewed by two men and one woman. You'll never make it out of the bay." Gillette smirked.

Jack took out his pistol and aimed it at Gillette.

"Son...I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?" Jack smiled.

The men leave the boat and I watch as one of Norrington's men shows Norrington what's going on. I watch Norrington mouth the words:

"Rash, Turner, too rash. That is without doubt the worst pirate I have ever seen."

I turn around to see Jack waving his arms around and Will trying to do what Jack is saying. We watched as the Interceptor set sail.

"Here they come." Will murmured.

The Interceptor pulled up next to our boat.

"Search every cabin, every hold, down to the bilges." Norrington ordered.

We snuck over to the ropes and swung over to the Interceptor. We cut all the ropes connecting us and started sailing away but Norrington notices.

"Sailors, back to the Interceptor! Now!" Norrington yelled.

The sailors try to reboard the Interceptor but we are already to far away.

"Thank you, Commodore, for getting us ready to make way! We'd have a hard time of it by ourselves!" Jack yelled.

"Set top sails and clear up this mess!" Norrington ordered.

"With the wind at quarter astern, we won't catch them." Groves tells him.

"We don't need to catch them just get them in range of the long nines." Norrington yelled.

"Hands, come about. Run out the guns," Groves ordered, "We open fire on our own ship, sir?"

"I'd rather see her at the bottom of the ocean than in the hands of a pirate." Norrington scowled.

"Commodore, he's disabled the rudder chain, sir!" A sailor shouted.

"That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen." Groves said.

"So it would seem." Norrington sighed.

I looked around our ship to see Jack at the steering wheel looking out on the sea.

'He is the best pirate ever... When you're not thinking about his cowardly, scumbag, idiotic, flirtatious personality.' I sighed giving a small smile.
