Return of A Pirate

[Jack Sparrow]

Jack Sparrow was gripping the wheel of the Black Pearl as the rain started to pour down upon the ship and its crew. Men were running about the ship doing what Jack barked at them to do. One man came up to Jack as he turned the wheel in the right direction.

“Jack, where exactly are we going?” The man said as he clambered up the stairs, facing him. He had tried to guess, but never actually asked Jack himself.

“Heading to “Will’s Island”, Gibbs.” Jack said with a smirk as he violently turned the wheel. He had been calling Port Royal “Will’s Island” for a long time now; he said it was his “little nickname” for it.

Mr. Gibbs blinked and stared at him for a moment. Was he mad? Going back there where Norrington would be sure to capture him and send him to the gallows? He probably didn’t hear Jack correctly.

“We’re going there?” Gibbs said with a twisted expression on his face; Jack wasn’t surprised at this, however. He would probably see this expression Gibbs had on now from all the crew when he told them.

“Yes, mate, we’re going there.” Jack said, straightening the wheel. He had a reason for going there; it wasn’t just to say “Hi, how are you?” No no…Jack Sparrow had other things on his mind as he looked out into the ocean in front of him.

Gibbs just shook his head, walking down the small stairs to help with the other men of the crew. Jack didn’t watch him leave, however; he was too busy looking ahead to see which way to go to get to the island.

Will Turner banged on the almost-made sword as he heard someone enter through the door. Looking up, Will saw it was only Elizabeth. He put his hammer down on the anvil as she walked over and kissed him.

“Hello Will. I just wanted to ask you something.” She said, sitting down on a dark wooden chair, her skirt folding beneath her.

Will ###### his head as he looked at her. "Yes, of course." He said in a crisp British accent.

"Of course...anything." He said, as she looked at him.

"I was wondering if Norrington could...attend the wedding. My father is trying to persuade me, but I need to ask you."She said, looking at him.

Will blinked, considering. He had never liked Norrington...he hated him even more when he had actually decided to hang Jack. He sighed as he made his decision.

"Fine, he may go." Will said taking up his hammer and smacking it against the sword. Out of the corner of his eyes, Elizabeth smiled and went up to him, whispering:

"Thank you"

Meanwhile, Jack was talking to his crew about why he was even going to the island. The crew were confused like Gibs had been, giving him blank stares,

"...So I am going to ask you to stay here and wait for me. Savvy?" Jack said, straightening his hat as the crew gave him muffled replies. "Good." He said, jumping into the long boat that floated near him, grabbing the paddles, paddling to shore as the crew watched him go.

~*~

Soon, Jack heard a thump on his longboat as he bumped into the wooden docks of Port Royal. He quickly tied the boat to the dock, leaning his hat over half his face so he could not been identified.

Jack snuck away from the dockmaster while he was back was turned. He was currently speaking to a woman Jack found familiar.

"...I should turn you in for this, you know." The dockmaster said to the woman.

The woman looked concerned, but replied "And if I gave it back, plus an extra shilling, wouldn't that be ehough to keep me safe from the wrath of arrest?" She grinned slyly, Jack seeing her hand slip down into the dockmaster's pocket swiftly, putting the small pouch of coins she had stolen in her pocket.

Jack grinned-He knew who this was. Marlui. Had looked at her for a moment, and say that she had seen him, her eyes narrowing a bit. Jack saw her say something to the dockmaster as she slipped her way around him and walked to Jack.

Marlui smirked as Jack looked at her. "Thes folks don' even know..." She took the sack of coins and hands it to him, Jack seeing many more items of value in her coat as she opened it to give him the pouch of coins. Marlui soon just passed him by, walking back to the tavern located in the middle of the town.

Jack blinked pocketing the money and murmuring "Hello to you too." He looked over and saw that she was gone. Shrugging,he walked into the town of Port Royal.

~*~

Will was sitting in a seat near the anvil, looking at a new sword that he had made. The metal was hot and shiny, ready to be used.

Yet Will had no time to practice, for the door creaked open and Jack walked in, Will a bit stunned.

"Hello, mate, thought I'd stop by." Jack said walking over to Will (Who had immediatley gotten up).

Will blinked, setting the sword down. "Jack, why...when?" He asked Jack, who smirked.

"Only today...and I have something to talk to about..." Jack replied, motioning Will to follow.

[Jack Sparrow]

Will looked at Jack, stunned, although he followed him to the darkest corner of the store. This confused Will as he saw Jack look about to see that no one was watching. Will raised a brow as Jack looked at him, leaning against the wall.

"Alright, mate. I'm just going to tell you. Davey Jones is after me." Jack said. Will tried not to laugh, but a grin spread across his face.

"Davey Jones." Will repeated as calmly as he could. Jack stared at him, the grin on Will's face disappearing.

"Yes, Davey Jones is after me." Jack hissed. "I owe him some...money." Will sighed, rubbing his face with his right hand.

"And...why are you telling me this?" Will said, looking at Jack, who straightened his lop-sided hat.

"Becasue I need you to come with me." Jack replied. Will ###### his head to one side.

"I'd like to, Jack, but Elizabeth and I are getting married. And I-" Jack cut him off before he could finish.

"She'll be fine! It'll be better than last time." Jack interrupted.

"But-"

"But what? It's not your decision, its her decision. Savvy?"

Will groaned. Why did Jack have to always get what he wanted?

"Fine, I will ask her...unless you tell me why you need me to get some money." Will said as Jack lop-sided his hat again, covering half of his face.

"Well, mate. I need you because...it's a treasure. A whole lot of treasure." Jack replied, looking at Will.

"Fine. I will help you find the treasure for...Davey Jones." Will said, eyeing Jack as he saw a grin crawl up his face.

"Alright. We'll meet here in two days at dusk. Savvy?" Jack asked, never getting an answer, for Jack slipped out of the door into the street.

______________

It was dusk when Jack arrived at the tavern. He had decided to pickpocket a little, getting about twenty shillings. It would be enough for two nights in the tavern.

Jack walked in, only to see Marlui on a chair by a statue of some Commodore. Jack smirked, walking over to her.

She turned around, almost appearing as she was doing nothing. But Jack saw that she was admiring a trinket, although she put it away as soon as she saw Jack.

"'Ello, ol' friend. I didn' know y'made berth 'ere." She looked him up and down. "Bu' with' wha' ship?"

Jack smirked. "Yes, I got it back, mate." He said a bit too proudly. Marlui turned a little pale, replying:

"Love'ly...ye got it back...congra's." She looked a little worried to Jack, who stared at her for a minute.

"Thanks, mate. Well I need to get going, see you." He said a bit quickly, walking off to the front desk.

The man looked up from something he was writing. Jack raised a brow as the man squinted his eyes at him.

"I need a room for two nights." Jack said as the man kept looking at him.

"Twenty shillings." The man replied quickly, Jack handing him the stolen cash. "It's the first door on the left."

Jack nodded, not bothering to say thank you. He went into the small room and threw himself onto the bed and fell asleep.

It was early when Jack got up and out of the tavern. Birds had barely started to sing, the sun was barely in the sky. Jack wandered the lonely streets fro no apparent reason, just boredom. He passed a man who stood wide-eyed at him and ran for two redcoats near him. Jack blinked, turning around, the redcoats running after him.

Jack had forgotten to lop-side his hat in the morning...Jack ran down the street, the redcoats following him down an alleyway which was blocked by a large wooden fence. Barrels were scattered everywhere in the alley. Jack started to actually pile them up and climbed up on top of them and over the fence before the redcoats got a good aim at him.

___________

Jack looked back, seeing not a recoat in sight. He was near the docks now, only some fisherman on them. Jack grunted, pulling his hat fiercely to hide his face again. He walked down to the street by the docks, and looked at the many buildings.

Jack, suddenly, heard fast footsteps behind him. Turning, Jack's eyes narrowed as about ten redcoats a someone in blue were after him. Jack ran down the street, rifle shots zooming past him.

He headed down another alley, only to find there was no barrels, no crates, to get over the cement wall. He turned, facing the rifles of the redcoats and the smirk of a Commodore.

"Jack Sparrow." Norrington said with arrogance. "I thought I would never see you here again." Jack ###### his head, making a fake smile.

"Whatever gave you that idea, Norrington?" Jack replied, smirking. "Well I proved you wrong, eh mate?" Norrington frowned, withdrawing his sword.

"Hmm. This time I won't be easy on you, Captain. Take him away." He ordered his redcoats. Jack leaned back as one grabbed his arm, but someone yelled.

"Eh, Jack, need help?" Jack looked over the one redcoats soldier and saw Marlui with her sword withdrawn.

The redcoats would’ve liked to turn to see Marlui, but their jackets were too small for them (which Jack thought highly amusing.). Only Norrington could turn to see her, his sword in front of him.

“Well, why are you just standing there? Get her!” Norrington shouted to his redcoats. Three of them finally turned, and ran after Marlui, who ran out of the alleyway and into the street, Jack watching her stop and suddenly attack the redcoats, all of them falling.

Jack turned to face Norrington again, withdrawing his sword. Norrington, however, did an odd gesture with his head, his redcoats going after Jack, who lifted his sword and slashed at each of their heads, two of them shrieking in pain, collapsing onto the floor. The third, however, was trying to jab jack with his pointed dagger on his gun, Jack slashing it away. When the redcoat turned, Jack slashed a deep gash in his arm and head, the redcoat shrieking and falling to the floor.

Norrington and Jack were now alone, both turned to each other, swords in front of them, waiting for the other to attack. Norrington clashed his sword against Jack’s, who wanted this to happen. Jack had already concocted a plan if this happened. Jack had seen a crate out of the corner of his eye when he was watching Marlui; a plan had been forming since he had been fighting the redcoats.

Jack was clanging swords with Norrington while stepping slowly to the crate that lay there, waiting to be used to cheat. Jack was closer to the crate when Marlui came running back in. Jack did an odd movement with his head at her, as if saying not to help him. Marlui frowned, but stood there like Jack wanted.

Finally the crate was right next to Jack. Norrington, he though, would not expect this coming. He violently clashed his sword against the Commodore’s sword before picking up the large wooden crate and hurling it at him. It hit Norrington directly in the chest, staggering back. Jack ran for it, followed by Marlui, and left the injured behind.

Will was working on a gold hilt when Jack bursted through the door followed by a woman. Will got up as he saw Jack panting and throw himself into a chair, the woman leaning against a pole. Just looked at them both, saying nothing for a moment or so.

“What did you do?” Will finally asked Jack, disrupting the silence. Jack looked at him for a minute, getting up.

“Well, mate.” Jack said, staring at Will. “I was taking a walk down the road when someone reported me…redcoats came and attacked, then Norrington came with them. Marlui, her,” He said, thrusting his head toward the woman. “Came and helped me. We got away, of course.” He said, Will shaking his head and rubbing his face.
“Now they know you’re here, Jack!” Will said a bit angrily. Jack blinked, looking at Will then sighed.

“Yes, mate, but…” Jack said. “Now we can leave earlier, don’t you think?” He continued. Will gave him a nasty look, Jack giving a nasty look back. Marlui watched them for a moment.

“Wait mates…lets no’ go fightin’ ‘cause Jack ‘ere got in trouble.” Marlui said, the two turning to look at her. “Its common tha’ ‘e gets in trouble, anyways.” She mumbled, Jack smirking a bit. It was true…

Will sighed and threw himself in a chair as well. He still hadn’t asked Elizabeth, who, in fact, was having problems of her own…

Elizabeth was in her room reading when her father came and told her the news about Jack, and how we and some other bloody pirate had left Norrington and some redcoats wounded. Elizabeth was a bit shocked at the sudden news of Jack’s arrival, but continued to listen to her father’s story. After he had exited the room to discuss something with the guard, she got up and looked out of the large window.

Elizabeth gawped as she saw three figures heading to her house-one, she recognized as Will, the other was Jack, there was no question to that, and the other Elizabeth did not know, but she did know they were coming this way.

______________

Will, Jack, and Marlui were, indeed, trying to get Elizabeth. Jack had persuaded Will to go now…and quickly.

Will looked up the manor wall as they reached the huge house. They were all standing under Elizabeth’s window.

“Elizabeth!” Will whispered as loud as he could. No Elizabeth. “Elizabeth!” He whispered again, louder.

“Here, let me try.” Jack said, pushing Will aside.

“ELIZABETH!” Jack yelled loudly. Will’s eyes widened and he pulled Jack back violently, facing him.

“Why the bloody hell did you do that?” Will said, staring at him. Jack shrugged, looking at the window.

“Well it worked, mate, look for yourself.” Jack replied. Will turned, only to see Elizabeth looking out of the window and staring at them all with an odd expression. Her hair was done in a neat and tidy pony tail.

Will did an odd jerk with his head as if asking Elizabeth to come down. He saw her eyes narrow slightly, but she disappeared from the window a moment later and came out of the large wooden doors, walking over to them.

“Will…what are you doing? And why is Jack here?” Elizabeth asked, casting a glance at Jack before returning her gaze to Will.

“Nice seeing you too, luv.” Jack replied to Elizabeth’s comment, making a fake smile.

Will looked at Jack before answering Elizabeth. “Elizabeth…Jack is asking me to go on a…journey with him and I needed to know if…you’d like to come with us?” Elizabeth stared at him for a moment, then at Jack, then back to Will.

“I guess I should come.” Elizabeth answered after much silence. Will smiled, telling her to get some other clothes for the voyage. Jack watched her go, soon looking around the yard.

Soon after Elizabeth came down with a small trunk, they tried their best not to look suspicious in any way as they headed down to the docks. Some turned their heads to look, but did not say anything or call a redcoat. Jack had made his hat cover half of his face, his identity hidden from any on-lookers. Marlui wasn’t truly wanted, so she had done her dark hair into a bun (which she didn’t like, but Elizabeth said it made her look more British).

The same small longboat floated helplessly here it had been docked. All faces to turned to Jack, and he merely shrugged, looking around the harbor.

“Jack, are we going to steal another boat?” Asked Will as Jack walked over to a much larger one. Jack nodded, inspecting the boat and turning around, making sure the dockmaster had his back turned. Jack hopped in the boat followed by Marlui, Will, then Elizabeth. They undid the ropes and sailed away to the anchored ‘Pearl.

____________

The small group was hauled up on deck of the Pearl as the other boat slightly banged into the large ship. Will had not truly seen it since his last frightful visit, but saw it as a magnificent ship now that the undead were off it, that is.

Jack assumed the position at the wheel and looked around at the relaxing crew and the others. He raised a brow before yelling. “Take up the anchor! Let loose the sails! What are you waiting around for, mates?”

Will and Elizabeth went over to the railing as the others went around the ship doing whatever Jack ordered them to do. Marlui had joined in with the crew and did the same.

The journey was starting, Jack Sparrow was pleased, and Will and Elizabeth were both pretty much clueless about why Davey Jones was after Jack. Yet a small silver coin lay in their next destination…
