Chapter 14
I entered into the crowded square shadowing behind Will as he made his way to where Elizabeth, Governor Swan, and Commodore Norrington stood listening to the man reading off Jacks charges.
"What is he doing," I hissed to myself we had spent the last three days planning Jack's escape and what ever that boy was doing wasn't part of it. I knew that the chances of getting out of here alive were slim but I was willing to risk it. I heard a bird squawk loudly at me. I looked up at one of the flags some of the men were holding to find a very familiar parrot looking down at me. I smiled up at it "Why hello there Cotton nice to see you made it," I said
"Wind in the sail!" he replied. The drumming began to speed up I tried to pushed my way through the mass of people. Screaming and yelling for them to move. I could see the man pull the lever to open the trap door. I wasn't going to make it. Then Will throw his sword into the wood giving Jack a foothold to stand on. I pull out my cutlass running after Will. He distracted the gallows man while I cut Jack free. We jumped off the stand running towards the tower.
"What are you doing Rose! You should have left when you had the chance," Jack yelled pulling off the rope around his neck
"I couldn't leave you here to die, your all I have left!" I explained he opened his mouth getting ready to retort when Will interrupted
"Oui! You guys can fight about this later lets focus on how to get ourselves out of this mess," he said he gestured for Jack to throw the rope to him which they used it to trip a few of the soldiers. I had to jump over them and let me tell ya it's not easy in a dress. We were so close just a couple more feet and we would be home free. But the odds were against us we were quickly surrounded by the men riffles loaded and ready to shoot. Norrington and the Governor made there way into the circle of men. Stopping right in front of Will and I. The Commodore was the first to speak, Governor Swan stood beside him listening.
"I thought we might have to endure some manner of ill-conceived escape attempt but not from you," he said pointing his sword at Will.
Then he glared at me "Or you, Miss. Rosemary,"
"When we returned to the Port I granted you both clemency and this is how you thank me? By throwing your lot with him, he's a pirate!" Governor Swan said shaking his head disappointed with the both of us.
"And a good man," Will answered I was shocked. I looked over my shoulder at Jack and saw that he was as surprised as I was. I couldn't help but smile he had finally accepted what Jack and I had been trying to tell him from the beginning of our journey.
"If all we have achieved here is that the hangman will earn three pairs of boots instead of one, so be it," I explained
"At least I know that my own conscience will be clear," he added I nodded in agreeing.
"The both of you have forgotten your places," Norrington hissed
"No I know I haven't because it's right here by Jacks side," I said I grabbed Jacks hand and he squeezed my hand.
"And mine is right here between you and Jack," Will stated looking over at Elizabeth. She then moved to stand beside Will.
"As is mine," she said he father was horrified and the Commodore just stood there dumbfounded.
"Elizabeth, lower your weapons!" Governor Swan ordered the soldiers hesitated not sure weather to listen to him or keep there commanding officers order "For goodness sake put down your weapons!" he said frustrated. They finally lowered there weapons and a wave of relief washed over me, Jack and I looked at each other smiling.
"So this is where your heart truly lies?" Norrington asked finally out of his trance like state.
"It is," she replied smiling meekly at him. I noticed Jack looking up staring at something. I leaned in closer to him whispering
"Jack what are you looking at?" he turned smirking at me.
"Our escape has arrived," he winked at me then started prancing around. "Well! I'm actually feeling rather good about this," he announced. Jack made his way around to each person in our little group saying the craziest thing them. Finally he got to me he was smiling ear to ear. "Are you ready to go love?" he asked
"Yes defiantly," I laughed he grabbed my hand and we ran to the edge of the bell tower. Everyone following a few feet behind use Jack spun around to say one last thing
"This is the day that you will always remember as the day that-," Jack he tried to move father back but he tripped over the ledge and fell into the ocean I rolled my eyes laughing a bit. I decided to finish what he started.
"This is the day that you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow and Nightstar Barbossa!" then jumped over the edge into the sea after Jack. When I hit the water cool it felt amazing as I swam to the surface. When I reached the top Jack Swam over to me we heard the sentry cry
"Sail ho!" Jack and I saw the Black Pearl sailing its way towards us. We smiled at each other and began the swim over to it.
The crew throw out a line to Jack and I. He slipped one arm around my waist and we held onto the rope as the men pulled us both into the ship. We landed by the wheel and Mr. Gibbs ran over to use
"I thought you were supposed to keep to the Code?" Jack asked Gibbs
"We found them to be more like guidelines," he explained he helped both Jack and I up. The rest of the crew came over to greet Jack and I Cotton gave Jack his prized hat. Anamaria came over to me handing me Jacks coat.
"I think that the lady of the Captain should do the honors," She explained I could feel my face turn ten different shades of red.
"Okay," I said quickly I walked over to Jack I placed his coat on his shoulders "Congratulations the Black Pearl is yours now Jack. I know you've waited so long for this moment," I said he turned around looking into my eyes.
"Not as long as I've waited for this," he leaned down and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck his lips tasted like a mix of the sweetest rum and the salty sea water. He pulled away gently "We'll finish this later," he whispered into my ear. I nodded and he turned to his crew. "On deck, you scabrous dogs, man the braces! Let down and haul to run free!" he ordered as we all scatter into our positions
As I pulled the ropes on the mass back into place I watched the sun fade away giving way to the dark. The moon and the stars were the only source of light.
"Anamaria take the wheel, Ro- I mean Nightstar come with me," Jack ordered I followed him into the familiar captain's quarters.
"Aaaa R- Rose would you like to take a seat," he said gesturing to the bed. I raised an eyebrow at him sitting down on the bed. He Jack was acting kind of weird. Not the normal kind of weird that I know and love it was different. I watched as he fiddling through all the desk drawers and his pockets.
"Jack is everything alright?" I asked he looked back at me
"Yes everything is fine love," he said then returned to his rummaging. He looked up at one of the shelves and lunged for something on it. He throw it down on his desk I finally was able to see that it was a jewelry box.
"What in the world is he doing? What does he need that jewelry box for?" I thought to myself. He opened the box and pulled something small out quickly sliding into his pocket making sure I couldn't see it. Then he walked over and sat down next to me.
"Rose I love you more then anything. You are my one most precious treasure. You somehow see the good in me. Rose, you've somehow can love a twisted pirate like me because you are a beautiful person inside and out," I smiled at him I could feel the happy tears running down my face. He grabbed my hand kissing it "Ten years ago, before I lost the Pearl and my crew, I made one of the most tabooed decisions for a pirate like myself to make. But it's not only for me but for the woman I love if she were to agree to it. I waited for that perfect moment to ask but the right time just never seemed to come up. Then everything to fall apart the perfect life I wanted for the both of us disappeared and I had to get it back. At the time all I wanted to do was keep you safe so I walked away. But I promised myself when I got the Pearl back I would find you and finally ask you one of the most unthinkable questions," Jack got up from the bed and got down on one knee. I couldn't believe it was he really going to ask that one question that I had dreamed about. He pulled out of his pocket a silver ring "Rosemary Nightstar Barbossa would you give me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Yes, yes I will marry you," I cried smiling down at him he slipped the ring onto my finger and I looked closer at it. It was beautiful there was an olive shaped sapphire in the middle which was accented by two smaller diamonds around it. Jack took a seat next to me once again watching me.
"Do you like it?" he asked
"It's amazing! I love you," I said he beamed at me and I wrapped my arms his neck resting my forehead against his looking into his gorgeous brown eyes.
"I love you too," he whispered then our lips met. At first the kiss was sweet and loving but then he deepened the kiss I opened my mouth and our tongues fought against one another. He pushed me lightly back onto the bed he sent a trail of kisses down my neck as he unbuttoned my dress with ease. He slid it off my body I pulled off his shirt. That night passion exploded between us. The years of pined up lust and desire for each other were finally was answered. It had been so long since our bodies were one I had forgotten the rush he could make me feel. How he could send me over the edge his name on my lips.
Three Months later:
Jack and my wedding wasn't anything spectacular. It was a small the only guest there was the crew with Mr. Gibbs presiding over it. Jack and I stood in front of each other holding hands. "Do you Rosemary Nightstar Barbossa take Captain Jack Sparrow as you lawfully wedded husband?" Mr. Gibbs asked me
"I do," I said smiling looking at Jack he squeezed my hand.
"Do you Jack Sparrow Take Rosemary as your wife?"
"I do,"
"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride,"
"Gladly," Jack laughed he kissed the crew cheered and hollered at the two of us. When we broke apart he picked me up and me spun me around. This was the start of a new beginning a new adventure. I was ready now with Jack by my side for the rest of eternity.
Thank you so much for all of your suport! I love you guys!
