Jack Sparrow and his Delia - Part I - Curse of the Black Pearl

Chapter Three - Finally Escaping

'What a night.' Delia thought as she woke up in her bed recounting the events of the previous night. She got out of her night gown and put on a red gown similar to the one she wore yesterday however it was less formal. Not forgetting her farther card and/or dagger.

She walked into her mother, excusing herself trying to get outside without being questioned.

"Cordelia?"

"So close." I mumbled under my breath. "Yes Mother." I said with a fake smile.

"Where do you think you are going, it's way too dangerous out there."

"I just wanted to get some fresh air." I lied. "I didn't sleep well last night."

"Ok fine. Just please be careful Cordelia."

"Of course Mother I promise."

I calmly walked to the door so as to not be suspicious. Once I was there I ran to find Will to make sure he was ok.

"They stole Elizabeth!" I heard his distressed voice.

'Stole Elizabeth.'

I walked up to him. Rushing him away. "Delia. What are you doing? I need to help find Elizabeth."

"I know. I have someone who can help come with me."

"Wait. Who."

I pushed him into an alley. "Jack Sparrow, ok. Now shush no one can know."

Will followed me down to the jail cells to where Jack was standing by his cell window.

"Delia. What are you doing down here again?" He asked excitedly but slightly worried. "Is everything ok?"

"Hi Jack. Everything is fine it-"

Will cut me off. "Everything is not fine. Your Jack Sparrow, correct?"

"Captain." He corrected him. "Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Fine. Captain Jack Sparrow." Will said impatiently. "You are a pirate so you would know where the ship makes its berth right?"

"It depends. What ship are we talking about?" He acted dumb.

"The Black Pearl! Where does it make berth!"

"Ahhh. The Black Pearl, Aye. Haven't you heard the stories?"

Will didn't answer.

Jack rolled his eyes at the boy's ignorance. "Barbosa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta. It's an island that can not be found unless you know where it is."

"Well where is it?"

"How should I know?" he asked innocently.

"Because you're a pirate."

"And you want to become a pirate yourself, is it?"

"Never!" Will slammed his hands on the bars. You didn't know why he was so defensive.

"Jack." You walk up to the bars to be right in front of him. "They took Miss Swan. The girl you saved. We're hoping you can help us find her."

Jack looked at you softly. "I would love to but I see no profit in it for me."

"We'll get you out." Will said with urgency.

"How mate? The key ran off."

"I helped build these cells. These as half-pinned-"

"Half-pinned barrel hinges! So you can get Jack out." Jack glazed at you.

"Exactly. All you need is the right leverage and a proper application of strength and the door will come right off."

"What's your name, kid?"

"Will Turner."

"Will Turner. Short for William Turner I imagine. From a father."

"Yes?" Will answered weary.

" Ah-ah.... Good, strong, name. Listen, don't worry about it. I have changed my mind. Get me out of here and I promise on pain of death, I'll help you find the Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an acord?"

"Agreed."

"Alright. Get me out of here."

The door fell. "Hurry, someone would have heard that."

"Not without my effects" Jack said, grabbing his pistol and other things.

"Why? You could have killed me before and you didn't"

"Are you suggesting I made the wrong decision?" Jack said, raising his pistol to Will's face.

A small gasp escaped your lips. 'He wouldn't. Would he?'

"When you've only got one shot, it's best to wait for the opportune moment. That wasn't it. And neither is this." He clicked the gun back and put it in the belt.

We rushed out of the jail avoiding everybody in sight. As Will ducked behind a wall.

Jack paused and asked. "One question about your business, here boy, or there's no point going. How far are you willing to go to save this girl?"

"I'd die for her" He answered firmly without doubt.

"Oh. Ok good, no worries then." He started sneaking onto the beach.

"What about Delia?" Will queried.

"Delia won't die. She's got more knowledge on piracy than you know Turner." He glanced over. "Very smart." He winked at you.

Will glance between both of you but don't question what Jack said or his wink.

"Now come on, pick up the canoe."

"Are we going to steal that ship?" will look over to the fastest ship in Port Royal.

"Commander. And no. We are going to commander that ship" he pointed to the big one to our right.

We hurried into the ocean with the canoe over our heads. Somehow it creates an air bubble. This Pirate was the smartest man she had met.

We got to the Dauntless and went to the main deck.

"Everyone stay calm! We are taking over this ship."

"Aye! Avast!" Will yelled, drawing his sword. Jack and I both shared the same expression on our faces.

The other man laughed. "There is no way two men can sail this ship alone. And not to mention you have a woman with you, which is bad luck. What is she going to do cooking for you whilst you struggle to sail?"

"Excuse Me?!" I went to confront them but Jack put his arm in front of me and pulled out his pistol. "Son. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?"

They got into the long boat and notified the Lieutenant. He sailed toward them on the Interceptor.

"Here they come." Will said worried and Jack just smiled.

He never wanted the Dauntless.

"Of course! Will! Get ready to jump."

"What? Why?"

"We're taking the Interceptor."

"That's it, Love!" This girl was unquestionably the smartest girl he had met. Not to mention she just swung onto the other ship and landed with ease. She was different for sure.

"Why thank you for helping us on our way, Commodore, We would've had hard time of it by ourself." He waved his hat with a smile in farewell. As Bell stood next to him blew a kiss to the thick headed men.
