the Dauntless
Meanwhile Norrington and his crew were after Jack to find Perseus.
"Keep an eye out men. We need to find him" James said as they reached Tortuga.
"Over there sir" A sailor said pointing to the Interceptor. It had been docked at the harbor. James docked the Dauntless right next to it. He boarded the ship and looked around. Theo and Andrew were with him.
Interceptor
Ekaterina is sitting in the brig. Her hands are handcuffed and her legs are cuffed to the brig door. She can hardly move.
She wants someone to help her, to save her. She feels so hopeless.She starts to cry softly.
James walked down to the brig his sword in hand. He looked in and saw her. Theo and Andrew were on the main deck looking around for Jack and William. "Shh" James said as he walked up to her cell and tried breaking the cuffs off. He had no keys so it wasn't working out for him. He looked around the room and saw keys hidden under a basket. James grabbed them and unlocked the cuffs and the cell door.
"James! I thought I will trapped here forever. " she said and hugged him .
James smiled and hugged her. "Are you hurt?" James asked.
"No...I am not....I heard Sparrow said that they need to find a crew and save Elizabeth...he knows where Elizabeth are! Maybe some of the Navy should hide in the brig and comes out and attack when things happened! And the others who aboard the Dauntless should keep an eye on the Pearl and followed far behind."
"I already sent some men to each tavern. But if they don't find him that's a grand idea" James said with a smile as he kissed her cheek. He hugged her again.
She smiled softly at him and slightly blushed.
James kissed her again. This time on the lips. He smiled after that.
"We should stop. They will notice." She said to him as she blushed.
"Fine" James said having his arms around her waist. He was smiling at her so much.
"Maybe we should tell them you find me and the plan I suggested."
"Yeah I like that" James said staring at her now. He didn't realize how much he was staring.
She raised an eyebrow at him as she starts to walk to the deck.
James smiled and followed her
"Andrew! Theo!"
They smiled and bear hugged you. "Perseus" They both said as they smiled happily.
She hugged them back. "It's good to see you two! Anyway, we have a plan!"
"What is it?" Andrew asked.
"I heard Sparrow said to find a crew and save Elizabeth...he knows where Miss Swann are! Maybe some of the Navy should hide in the brig and comes out and attack when things happened! And the others who aboard the Dauntless should keep an eye on the Pearl and followed far behind." She told them like what she told James.
"That sounds great" Theo said softly.
"Thank you." She said smiling at them.
James watched them and smiled. Andrew was now looking around the ship.
"Spread the plan onto the Dauntless."
"Yes sir" Andrew said running over to the Dauntless and telling them. James giggled a little.
She smiled and walked back to the brig slowly. James followed her as Theo watched skeptically. She sits down in the brig and James sits next to her.
"We just sit here now?" She asked.
James smiled "I guess so" James said with a soft tone in his voice.
She looks at the wall in front of her.
James looked and saw no one had followed them. He smirked and then kissed her on the lips.
She looks at him in shock but deepen the kiss.
James put his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
Theodore starts to walk down to the brig.
James hears him and stops kissing her and scoots over a bit.
She looks innocent and put her hands in her pockets.
James sits there with a grin.
"What are you grinning at?" Theo asked James.
"N-nothing Theo" James said looking at Theo. James was still grinning.
"Why you are stuttering? The James I know never shutter!"
James froze up a little. He hoped Theo didn't remember what happened a few years ago when they saved Ekaterina. "I forgot to take my medicine . They help m-me not stutter." James said making up an excuse.
Theo raises an eyebrow.
James was now sweating his face was red as well.
"You are sweating and your face are all red...are you sure you are alright, Commodore?"
"Yes Theodore I'm f-fine" James said to him.
"Alright...I was assigned to be with you two..." said Theodore and he sits down next to James in the brig.
James was a little disappointed by this. He didn't show it though.
There are some voices outside and Jack comes aboard the Interceptor with the crew.
James took his sword out.
They are talking about the compass and going to Isla de Muerta.
James listened.
A storm breaks upon them at sea. "How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn't work?" Will asked.
"Aye, the compass doesn't point north but we're not trying to find north, are we?" Said Gibbs and he turn to Jack and said "We should drop canvas, sir."
"She can hold a bit longer." Said Jack.
"What's in your head that's put you in such a fine mood, Captain?" Gibbs asked.
"We're catching up." Jack replied.
James heard all this and tried figureing out where they were headed.
"I think they are going to Isla de Muerta " said Ekaterina.
"Yeah I think so too" James said holding her hand while Theo wasn't paying attention.
"Let's just wait...for now." said Ekaterina.
"Alright" James said still holding her hand.
She is looking at the sea from the small window.
James smiled.
Soon, they arrived Isla de Muerta.
James looked out the small window.
"We have arrived."
"I guess we have" James said hearing someone walk down to the brig he pulled his sword out. "Commodore is that you" Jack said with a smile.
"Yes and us as well!"
Jack giggled "well I suppose you plan on stopping us" Jack said.
"Maybe or maybe not." Ekaterina replied.
Jack noticed James holding her hand. "Ah. I see you figured out he-" Jack said as James cut him off by shooting at him. James let go of her hand.
Theo gave them a question look.
"What?" James asked Theo.
"Why you shoot him...?"
"Because he didn't want me saying anything about her" Jack said pointing at Perseus.
"Her? She's a girl and you know that?" Theo asked James .
James face turned bright red "Yes I'm sure Mr. Norrington also fancies her" Jack said answering for James.
"You fancy her? But I thought you are going to marry Miss Swann?" Theo asked James. "And she will be hanged if someone find out she's a girl..."
James had no idea what to say. He was so worried about Ekaterina now. "Worried are we now, Commodore?" Jack asked with a smile.
Ekaterina has a sacred look on her face.
Jack smiled "Don't worry lass I'll make sure not to tell anyone." Jack said looking at her then turned his head to James "You on the other hand have to deal with Mr.Groves here possibly telling Miss Swann and her father that you have love for another." Jack said
"I won't tell anyone Commodore I promise." said Theo.
James looked at Theo as if to say thank you.
She looks thankful as well.
James was still silent. He wanted to punch Jack in the nose. But he decided not too. "Now then Commodore what your plan to save Elizabeth. Maybe we could work together in this." Jack said which only made James turn red in anger. Just hearing Jack speak caused him to want to hurt Jack at this point.
"How do you know I am a girl?" Ekaterina asked Jack.
"Your make up rubbed off on my clothes dear. Also your voice and the fact the he was holding your hand as if he wanted to turn you around and kiss you" Jack pointed out.
"How did my makeup rubbed off on your clothes?" She asked blushing when Jack said the fact about James .
"When I was holding you at gun point. I didn't say anything lass because its common. Also another thing I may point out is that he went straight for you nothing else. If you happened to be another one of his men you may not have been rescued this quickly." Jack said pointing out the last part. He was telling the truth.
She blushed furiously. "Are we going to save Miss Swann or not?!" She nearly shouts at them.
James nodded. He was blushing a lot as well. "Well lets go then shall we love birds and Mr.Groves. Is it okay if I call you Theo right?" Jack asked as James had his head down.
Theo nodded. He still feel confused that his fellow lieutenant is a girl.
"Okay good. Theo I....umm... need you for a sec. I need your help with maps. They seem to hate me today." Jack said with a smile.
"Of course sir."
"Perfect. Commodore and milady please make yourselves at home on your ship which we will return once I have the Pearl and you have Miss Swann." Jack said.
"More like your majesty...." Ekaterina whispers to James.
James smiled as Theo and Jack left them alone. James looked at her and decided to kiss her on the lips again.
She smiled and kiss him back.
James had his arms around her waist now. He pulled her closer to him as he pulled her in a hug.
They come back half an hour later, with Miss Swann, Theodore Groves and Will Turner, But Jack Sparrow is not among them.
"Where is Jack?" James asked Groves.
"Umm...we knocked him out....and leave him with the pirates..."
James eyes widened "what? Why? He helped us get here" James said.
"It's Turner who did that....not me..."
James facepalmed.
"And the pirates...they are after us now...."
"Shit" James said under his breath.
"Hands aloft to loose t'gallants! With this wind at her stern, she'll carry every sail we've got." said Gibbs.
The crew is running around. "What's happening?" Elizabeth asked.
"The Black Pearl, she's gaining on us." said Anamaria as she looks out at the Pearl.
"This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean ." said Elizabeth.
"You can tell them that after they've caught us." said Elizabeth.
"We're shallow on the draft, right?" Elizabeth asked.
"Aye." Anamaria replied.
"Well, then can't we lose them amongst those shoals?" Elizabeth asked.
"We don't have to outrun them long, just long enough." said Gibbs.
"Lighten the ship, stem to stern!" Anamaria shouts.
"Anything that we can afford to lose? see that it's lost." said Gibbs.
James watched sitting next to Ekaterina . He was watching everyone work.
"They have thrown away the barrel!"
James had a confused look. He obviously had not been paying attention.
"The Black Pearl! They are behind us! And the idiots above us has thrown away the barrel!"
James cussed under his breath in German. "Its fine they're trying to gain speed" James told her. "They'll need to loose people not barrels though" James pointed out quietly.
"But the Pearl is next to us now..." she said with a =~= expression on her face.
"Yeah I know this" James said looking over.
The Black Pearl
Jack is locked in the brig by Bo'sun. He sloshes in the water. "Apparently there's a leak." said Jack.
"Haul on the main brace! Make ready the guns! And run out the sweeps. " said Barbossa as the gun ports are opened and the Jolly Roger is hoisted up.
The Interceptor
Barrels are tossed over the side. Will looks out at the Black Pearl and sees the oars, and stops a cannon from being thrown off. " We're gonna need that."
Anamaria sees the oars . "It was a good plan up 'till now."
"Gibbs ! We have to make a stand. We must fight! Load the guns!" Will shouts.
"With what?" Anamaria asked.
"Anything. Everything! Anything we have left." Said Will.
"Load the guns! Take shot and langrage. Nails and crushed glass! With a will!" Said Gibbs. They stuff cutlery and other assorted items into the cannons including Gibbs's canteen. "The Pearl is going to luff up on our port quarter. She'll rake us without ever presenting a target."Gibbs continued.
"Lower the anchor on the right side. On the starboard side!" Elizabeth ordered.
"It certainly has the element of surprise." said Will.
"You're daft, lady! You both are!" said Anamaria.
"Daft like Jack ! Lower the starboard anchor! Do it, ye dogs, or it's you we?ll load into the cannons! " said Gibbs. The anchor is lowered.
"Let go." Elizabeth said to Anamaria. Anamaria lets go of the wheel and the ship swings about.
James is watching. He is wanting to jump off to get away but he can't now. What if Ekaterina doesn't follow him.
Theodore is sitting beside them. He is watching as well. He saw water is filling up the brig. His eyes widen and he looked at Turner Who is a bit far from them is trying to open the grate, but failed. Soon the cabin is nearly full of water. "We are trapped!" He told James and Ekaterina.
James was standing now as the water was almost over his head. He had no idea what to do at this point.
Ekaterina is already drowning as the water already passed her head.
James remembered he still had keys. He acted diving under them and unlocking the grate. He came up for air. "Its unlocked we can get out now." He said out of breath. He then grabbed Ekaterina and swam to the main deck. Will and Theo followed.
The Interceptor suddenly blown up.
Ekaterina is thrown to the sea because of the force.
They all jump to the sea after her.
Will climbed up to the Black Pearl and threatened Barbossa to free Elizabeth or he will shot himself . Barbossa agreed and The Pearl arrived to an island. Barbossa thrown Elizabeth and Sparrow to the sea with one pistol that has one shot. Ekaterina, James and Theo swim to the island as well.
