I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean or any of it's charecters. Disney does. However, I do own Riley and Scott.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sea was calm, only the wind could be heard blowing through the sails. Captain Jack Sparrow stood a top his ship, The Black Pearl. As his ship broke through the waves, he looked out over the sea scanning for any ship.
Just off in the distance he could see the faint image of a shore line. He yelled down at his crew to stay well away from the town. He was already wanted by the army and to be sentenced to death if caught. He didn't want to be hung, so he told his men to turn the ship in the opposite direction. Grabbing a hold of the rope for one of the sails, he slid down to the wheel. He took out his compass, that didn't point north, and grabbed the wheel, turning it whatever direction the arrow pointed. The sea was a part of Jack, as it was to many pirates. He turned the ship to the west, and sailed to the town most pirates went to to get away from anyone looking for them, or just to stop and drink. Jack was there for a drink, and to see how some of his old friends were doing that lived there. As he pulled into port, he saw a familiar face. It was the face of Gibs. One of the people who helped him get his ship back from Captain Barbossa. Gibs invited him to the saloon with him to get a drink. Once inside, Jack listened to his friend talk about his horrible life on the dreary island, as he called it.
"Come back to the sea with me then." Jack said to him.
Gibs looked at him. "Jack, I can't leave here. I have..." Jack cut him off.
"You have nothing here. You said so yourself. There's nothing here for you. Come to the sea with me. I need you."
Gibs looked at him. He was reluctant to except Jack's offer, but in the end he knew Jack was right. There was nothing here for him. "Alright, I guess your right. It's best I head back out to sea." he admitted. Jack smiled, knowing he had won.
"Get out, and don't ever come back!" the gruff voice of a shop owner could be heard.
"Yeah, well same tah you'se, ya fat pig! I feel sorry for you'se mudder fer havin' such an' ugly child!" a voice yelled back. This one was more soft, yet what the person had said had made Jack laugh. He went over to see what all the noise was about. As he turned the corner, he could see a girl picking herself up off the ground.
"Well, I never! Da little....." she trailed off muttering words that made Jack laugh, yet he was stunned to hear it come out of her mouth.
"Well, what have we here?" Jack asked looking at the girl.
The girl looked over at him, then turned to walk away. This made Jack laugh even more. He had never see a girl get that angry before. "Where ya heading?" Jack called after her.
"Home, if dat's any yer business." she yelled over her shoulder. Jack followed her. He walked up behind her, then eventually was walking beside her. Gibs followed at Jack's heels. The girl tried to quicken her pace, but it was no use, Jack could walk much faster than her.
"What is da madder wid you?" she said turning to him angerly.
Jack could not help but laugh at her. He thought it funny that this girl could get so upset so easily. "Well, dis is me home." she said. "Yer welcome to come in, if you want. Ya already followed me here anyways."
Jack bowed to here. She rolled her eyes and walked through the door. " Scott, I's is back!" she called. A man walked into the room, and greeted her, then noticed Jack and Gibs. "Oh, who are your friends?" he asked.
"This is..." she looked at Jack for a name.
"Captain Jack Sparrow and me pal Gibs," Jack finished for her.
Scott face went as white as the snow. He looked as if he had been sliced through the gut with a sword. "Did you say Jack Sparrow?" he asked.
Jack's face looked agitated. "Captain Jack Sparrow." he corrected.
Riley looked at him. She was confused by the look on his face. "What's wrong?" she asked.
Scott shook his head. "Nothing. Now, where are you from?" He asked trying to change to a new subject.
"The sea. I don't stay anywhere but my ship." Jack answered. "I just stopped into port for a while."
Riley's face went bright. "You have a ship? What's it's name?" she asked eagerly.
"Her name's The Black Pearl ." He answered. Scott's face went pale again. This time Riley was too interested in Jack to see it. "Dat's a good name fer a ship. Where do ya travel?"
"All over. Wherever the sea takes me." was his answer.
Scott got a hold of himself. "Would you like to stay for dinner? It's almost ready." he asked the two men.
"Well, I never turn down a meal." Jack said with a smirk. Scott nodded to them, and left to finish getting the dinner ready. Riley stared at Jack with admiration. Jack didn't notice her staring at him at first, but after a while, he saw her staring. He ignored her at first, but then it started to bother him. "Can I help you?" he asked not being able to stand it any longer.
"Are you a pirate?" she asked bluntly.
Jack looked at her surprised. "What makes you think that?" he asked trying to hide his surprise.
"You'se look a lot like one, and you'se got a ship." she answered.
"Lots of people have ships." he said.
"Yeah, but not The Black Pearl. I know about that ship. I's is heard so many stories that if I's told ya 'em all, we'd be up all night!" she told him.
"Well, that's interesting." he said.
She had a cocky look on her face that told him she knew that he was a pirate, but not a look that said she would call the authorities. Luckily Scott came in and told them that it was time for dinner, and that they should all sit to eat.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they sat down, it was not al large dinner, yet one that seemed to be large enough. Scott was just setting down the last bit of food. He sat at the head of the table, while Jack and Gibs sat across from each other, with Riley next to him. It seemed to him that he would never be able to get away from the girl. He rolled his eyes and smiled at the thought.
"Alright, dig in." Scott said. As they ate, Jack told about his adventures at sea. How he had reclaimed his ship, and defeated Captain Barbossa.
As they ate, Jack told other stories such as the time when he was shot twice in the right shoulder, and still was able to kill the man who had shot him. He told stories that would scare a small child, but not Riley.
It was starting to get late. Jack was now listening to stories told by Riley. She told about as much of her childhood that she could remember. Although it wasn't much. She couldn't remember anything younger than seven. She had come down with a bad sickness, and woke up to the kind face of a nurse. That was all she knew. She told Jack and Gibs of the time when she had scared a heard of cattle so bad that they almost trampled through the hole town. As she told him, she laughed at the remembrance of the whole scene.
"It's getting late. Riley, it's best you get to bed now." Scott said walking into the room.
"But can't I stay up a little longer?" she asked. He looked down at her.
"I'm sorry, but I don't want to deal with your crabby self in the morning. You must go to bed now." he repeated.
She got up reluctantly, and walked over to the doorway. "Goodnight Captain Sparrow," she said as she walked out of the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was midnight. Everyone in the town was asleep. Jack was fast asleep on a bed made up for him on the floor of the house. He slept with an uneasy feeling. Gibs was on the couch next to him. Surly if Jack was not used to his snoring, he would have been woken up to the loud sound.
The next room over was where Riley slept. She, as Jack, was sleeping with a feeling of uneasiness. As she turned about in her sleep, the moonlight shown on her face.
Scott slept in a room on the other side of the house. He was thankful for that, for when he had checked on Riley an hour earlier, he had heard the loud snoring of Gibs. As everyone in the town slept, and ship was just pulling into port. A large ship. Though it was not faster than the Black Pearl, it would surely go faster than any of the other ships in the port.
It had it's pirate flag stung on its highest beam. Small ships filled with pirates made their way to shore. The captain of the ship stood on the large ship, waiting for his pirates to do their jobs. Not that they had any particular one, just that he liked terrorize small towns and destroy them, stealing any gold they could find.
As the first of the ships made it to shore, the ones left on board started to load the cannons. Ready to blow the town to bits. They fired upon the largest building first. It took a few cannonballs to knock it down, but it when it fell, it made a big noise.
The other pirates on shore started to brake into houses, killing people as they searched for gold. Cries of terror rang out all through the town. People who the pirates had not reached tried to get out of their homes and to safety before they reached them. Many never made it. They were killed anyways. No one was spared. Every person was killed, weather they be man, woman, or child.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scott was hearing something from outside. He got up to look, and what he saw stuck terror into his soul. As he looked out the window, all he could see were people being killed by pirates, and cannonballs striking buildings.
He ran to wake everyone up. He knew that if they stayed, they would all be killed. He knew that if they could get to Jack's ship, they could sail out of there. "Get up! Get up!" she said shaking Jack awake.
"What in the bloody matter with you?" Jack asked.
"Pirates are destroying the town. We must get out of here!" Scott about screamed at him. He raced to get Riley. Jack looked out the window himself, and sure enough Scott was right. Jack had recognized the ship. He knew that these pirates would kill even another pirate just for money. He rushed to wake up Gibs. Scott and Riley ran straight into him.
"Hurry. We must leave for the ship." Jack said pointing them to the back door. "Wait. What's that sound?" Scott asked. Jack stopped to listen. "Get down!" he yelled pulling Riley to the floor. A large blast came, and the house was destroyed to rubble. A cannonball had hit the house and demolished it. Jack and Riley cleared the rubble off themselves and found Gibs. "Where's Scott?" Riley asked digging through the rubble.
"Under there." Jack said pointing to him. Scott was half berried. Riley went over to him. Jack and Gibs followed. They dug him out. His legs were badly bleeding. He came to, and looked at Jack. He tried to say something, but no one could understand him. Riley turned around twards the town. "Umm, Gibs, look at this." she called. Gibs got up and walked over to look at what she saw.
"Jack..." Scott said weakly. Jack looked down at him. "Jack..." he repeated. "Promise me you'll take care of Riley." he said weakly. "I will." Jack said. Scott looked at him thankful, then died. Jack looked at him for a minute. He was woken up by Gibs voice. "Jack we have to go. Their coming this way. Jack went to them. "What about Scott?" Riley asked.
Jack looked at her with sad eyes. "He's dead."
"Dead?" she repeated.
"Yes. We must go. They will be here soon." Jack said impatiently. They hurried down to the shore. Jack's ship was just a little off the coast. They swam to it, and quickly got on board. Jack's crew quickly took up anchor, and left the island as soon as possible. As they were just out of sight from the pirates, Riley looked back. All she could see were large fires burning, and smoke. She could still faintly hear the cries of the people in the town that the pirated were still killing.
Jack walked over to Riley, and put an arm on her shoulder. "What will happen to me now?" she asked him.
"You will come with me, and learn to be a pirate." he answered looking back at the island. He ,too, could hear the cries of the people being killed, and could see the smoke of the fires that still burned. He had no idea how he would take care of this child. All he knew is that he gave his word that he would.
