A Pirate's Rose- Henry Turner

Chapter 2

Bella was began to form a plan in her head as the cold rain pounded against her skin. She walked with her feet soaking in the mud, clutching onto her bleeding arm with her head looking down, and not watching where she was going. She was startled when she felt a body crash into her, almost knocking her down.

"I'm so sorry, Miss. Are you alright?" A sweet voice asked Bella. She rubbed her head before looking up at the stranger, instantly becoming lost in his beautiful brown, eyes. His hair was a dark brown, pulled back into a small ponytail, some wet strands stuck to his lip. His muscles were visible through his soaked shirt. He had a chiseled jaw and his eyes had Bella swooning.

"Y-yes, I am fine. I wasn't watching where I was going and I should have been more careful." Bella stuttered, tearing her eyes away from the handsome stranger. 

"Your arm is bleeding." The man points out. 

"Yeah, I sorta got shot." Bella says in a monotone voice. He rips off a piece of his shirt to act as a bandage. 

"May I?" He asks, holding out her arm. She nods and he gently takes her arm and wraps the bandage around her arm. Her heart began to pound against her chest, her head beginning to race. His arms glided across her arm with ease and every now and then, he glanced up at her. He finished tying off the bandage, resting his hand on her arm.

"Thank you." Bella says. She squints her eyes, and slaps her forehead. "Where are my manners!?" She exclaims. She reached out her hand for him to shake.

"Isabella Miller, but you can call me Bella Rose," She says with a shake of his arm.

"Henry Turner," The boy replies. Bella's eyes widen and a little gasp escapes from her.

"As in, the Henry Turner? Like Will and Elizabeth Turner? You are their son?" Bella asks, a smile playing on her lips. Henry nods as Bella squeals, before clearing her throat and acting more natural.

"Sorry, it is just, I love your parents. Your mother defied her abilities and became a pirate! And you father risked his life for her and became captain of the Flying Dutchman!" Bela exclaimed. Henry listened to her as she ranted on and on about his parents but he was more focus on her features. Something fluttered in his stomach when he saw her, like a butterfly. She seemed so pure and curious to Henry, her eyes as blue as the ocean, her hair red as a rose.

"So what are you doing here, Mr. Turner?" Bella asked curiously to Henry.

"Believe it or not, I am here to save my Father." Henry says to Bella, before dropping his voice to an almost whisper. "I am looking for the Trident of Poseidon. There is a girl in this town who owns the-"

"Map no man can read." Bella finishes. He looks at her amazed.

"You've read the ancient text?" Henry asks Bella.

"Well, I want to find the Trident myself as well. I believe that it could save Jack." Bella answered. Henry nodded understanding what she said.

"You know where to find Jack?" Henry asks. A smirk forms on Bella's lips.

"I know where to find Jack." She answers.

...

"What are we doing!?" Bella hissed at Henry.

"Just follow my lead!" Henry whispered back, taking a uniform of the red coats and leading her down to the prison.

"I'm look for a pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow?" Henry asked a prisoner. He just growled in annoyance. Henry moved to the next cell.

"Psst! I need to speak with you!" Henry calls to the statue in the cell. Henry turns around to look for another cell. Just then, Jack came up behind him and wrapped his arm around Henry, causing his hat to fall off and Henry trying to escape, panting.

"Give me your sword." Jack demanded.

"I don't have a sword." Henry panted, trying not to be strangled.

"What kind of soldier has no weapon?" Jack asks.

"I'm currently one for treason." Henry says.

"So, not the very good kind." Jack deadpans.

"I'm looking for a pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow?" Henry pants.

"Today is your lucky day." Jack says, releasing his grip on Henry. "Because I just happen to be, Captain Jack Sparrow."

"No, it can't be." Henry says dumbfounded. "I've spent years searching for...this? The great Jack Sparrow is not some drunk in a cell. Do you even have a ship? A crew? Pants." Henry says, looking down at a pant-less Jack.

"Really Jack? You don't have pants?" Bella asks, scrunching up her nose. Henry looked over at her with smile on his face. He couldn't help but notice how beautiful she is. Her blue eyes sparkled every time she talked, and how red her hair is when it flowed in the wind.

"A great pirate does not require such intricacies." Jack says sarcastically.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment? The risks I've taken to be here? Are you sure you're the Jack Sparrow?" Henry asks.

"The real question is, who are you?" Jack says walking up to the bars.

"My name is Henry Turner. Son of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann." Henry said proudly. Jack makes a noise of disgust.

"You're the evil spawn of them two! Does mommy ever ask about me?" Jack says perking up.

"No." Henry deadpanned.

"Go on. She calls my name in her sleep." Jack says.

"She never spoke of you." Henry says.

"Are you sure we're talking about the same people? He's a cursed eunuch. She has golden hair, stubborn, pouty lips, neck like a giraffe. and two of those wonderful..." Jack says picturing Elizabeth in his head.

"Yes, yes it's her!" Henry confronts. "I need you to listen Jack. Because at the moment you and Bella are all I have got. I found a way to save my father. There is one thing that can break his curse. And free him from the Dutchman." Henry says.

"Ah, The Trident of Poseidon. The treasure that can be found with the map that no man can read. Never heard of it." Jack deadpans. Bella makes a look that says "really?"

"There's a girl inside this prison Jack, who holds that map. The moon has turned to blood, the trident will be found. And you could be the one who holds the sea. And with it become all that you once were. The great..." Henry was interrupted by snoring Jack Sparrow.

"Jack!" Bella yelled scaring him awake.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, were you still talking?" Jack says really upset. Bella rolled her eyes and turned to walk when Henry said something that caught her attention.

"One more thing. A message from someone you know, named Captain Salazar." Henry said, making Bella whisper the word, "No," softly.

"I once knew a Spaniard named...something in Spanish." Jack says turning around and walking to the back of the cell.

"El Matador Del Mar. The butcher of the sea." Henry said in a dangerous soothing voice, making Bella's heart beat faster.

"Him? No, no, no. Quite happily he's dead. Very, very dead. Ship went down..." Jack started.

"Inside the triangle. He's coming for you Jack, to seek revenge. As the dead man's tale is told..." Henry warns.

"I don't believe you." Jack says, acting stubborn and turning away. "What did he say?" Jack says coming back curiously.

"He said your compass was the key to his escape. An army of the dead are coming straight for you, Jack. The Trident of Poseidon is your only hope. Do we have an accord?" Henry asked Jack. Jack rolled his eyes but finally said yes.
