First Chapter of Future Stories: Part 1

James & Phoebe: POTC 5

"This is treason" Captian Toms says. He rips our sleeves. "Lock them both up, we're going in" he orders. We're taken to the brig and locked up in the same cell.

As we curse our luck Henry looks at the wanted poster of Jack Sparrow. We soon hear fighting on deck and see blood dripping through the floor boards. Henry drops the poster as we hear someone descending the stairs.

"Stay beside me" I tell Henry as we back away from the bars. A mysterious figure appears with others behind him. The figure walks through the bars as if they were not there. I tense standing in front of my cousin. The man in the cell next to ours whimpers loudly.

The figure skewers one of the JACK SPARROW posters and looks at it. "Jack Sparrow" he says and signals one of his men. Who kills the whimpering man. "Do you know this pirate?" he asks Henry and I.

"Only by name" we tell him.

"You both are looking for him?" he asks us. He steps closer his features are more distinguished. His face is cracked. His lips are black, his skin is mottled and pale. Only half his body is there. He is, in fact, a nightmarish ghost. Henry swallows and looks at the other crew members.

"We are, yes" I tell the man.

"For too many years, the Triangle has cursed us...condemned us to this Hell on Earth. The key to our escape is Jack Sparrow...and the compass which he holds" he tells us. He sees Henry breathing hard, with wide eyes. "No need to fear me boy" he tells him. "I always leave one man alive to tell the tale. But for you two, I'll make an exception if you find the Sparrow for me" he states.

"What do we do when we find him?" I ask him.

"Relay a message from Captain Salazar. Salazar. Tell him I will behold the daylight again. And on that day...death. Death will come straight for him. Would you say that to him? Please?" he asks us.

"Yes" we say.

"I wish I could do it myself, but...dead men tell no tales" Salazar tells us. Before he and his men leave. Henry and I find a long boat & get out of there. To continue our search for Jack Sparrow.

Phoebe's POV

My name is Phoebe Smyth daughter of Laura Smyth. My cousin is Carina Smyth daughter of Margaret Smyth. Neither of us know who our father's are. Her father left us in an orphanage after our mothers died. As far as I know, my father never knew I existed. The only thing we have is the book Carina's father left us.

We've spent years studying the stars, science and time. So that we can find where the book leads too. We are at the observatory and Carina just fixed the telescopes position as I hold the chronometer we wish to purchase. Mr Swift the owner appears.

"Sir, your celestial fix was off. My cousin adjusted two degrees North" I state as he looks at his charts.

"Your map will no longer be imprecise, although you will have to start again with it" Carina states as she comes to stand beside me.

"You're a witch" he states pointing at her.

"No, I'm not" Carina says annoyed. We're always being called witches, because we're smart. Honestly I'm taking it as a compliment. "Am I a witch for having catalogued over two-hundred stars?" she asks him.

"Witch" he states.

"There is a blood moon coming" I tell him. "We simply need to purchase a chronometer" I state holding it up.

"We'll pay you double for selling to two women" Carina adds. He pulls out a pistol calling for help. As his hand holding the pistol shakes. Just then a drunken pirate enters the shop.

"There's two witches and a pirate in my shop!" Mr Swift shouts.

"Well, it's your lucky day! Have either of the four of you seen my bank?" the pirate asks us. Something crashes against the building, bringing part of the shop down. I notice it's a bank safe. "Found it!" he states and runs after it. Carina and I use the chaos to find him. "Were you both apart of the plan?" he asks us.

"No" I tell him as we reach the roof.

"We're not looking for trouble" Carina adds.

"What a horrible way to live" he states.

"Stop those witches! Grab them!" one the soldiers shouts.

"We're trapped" Carina says.

"What do we do?" I ask the pirate.

"You both need to scream" he states and pushes off the building. We both scream as we fall into a cart full of hay.

"Over there! Secure those women!" a soldier shouts. The horses of the cart, spooked, take off running.

"You filthy pirate!" we shout.

"No need for name calling" he tells us as he runs in the opposite direction after the safe. Carina and I managed to escape the navy soldiers. We hear rumors of two men talking about Poseidon's Trident. We decide to investigate.
