Jack Sparrow #8
Imagine you're running away with Jack Sparrow when a Royal Family finds out your secret.
*Requested by Janepeg*
Three months ago, you ran away from your royal life to live out the adventure life you've always dreamed of doing. Your father, who's the King of Abrela in a small kingdom in England, explained to you that once you've reached the age of eighteen, you would immediately carry on your royal duties and you would be married to a prince in an arranged marriage. But you didn't want to spend the rest of your life as a princess, married to a man that you don't know and don't love and having to carry on with royal duties instead of being free to do whatever you wanted to do.
Before the night of your eighteenth Birthday, you snuck out of your bedroom and you ran away and rode on a ship to a small kingdom in France, Gustad. When you got there, you changed your royal last name to a common last name, 'Smyth', and you bought a couple of peasant dresses with the remaining money you had from your royal treasure so that no one could recognize you as the Princess from Abrela. Afterwards, you took a job offer as a maid for the Royal Family of Gustad to earn a little bit more money for the future adventures you planned on doing. It was difficult for the first couple of days as a maid since you weren't used to working, but you got the hang of it.
***
One day, while you were sweeping the floors, you saw the Royal Navy guards bringing in a drunk pirate, in handcuffs, into the royal palace. You recognized him from all the 'Wanted' posters in the small Gustad town before you were hired as a maid. He was none of than the infamous pirate of the Black Pearl, Captain Jack Sparrow. You briefly got a glimpse of him as the guards were dragging him towards the direction of where the dungeons were. You thought he seemed rather handsome than what he looked like on the 'Wanted' posters.
After the guards dragged the pirate to the dungeons, a Royal Navy guard spotted you staring and, then, he said, rudely, "Miss Smyth, get back to work. Those floors aren't gonna clean themselves you know." You nodded and said, "Yes, sir." Then, you proceeded back to sweeping the floors, unaware that part of the back of your right shoulder sleeve on your dress fell down, revealing something that caught the guard's attention. A small crown-like shaped birthmark on the back of your shoulder that's a significant marking of your royal family that most people could easily recognize.
***
Later at night, you snuck down into the dungeons, with a tray filled with bread and a cup of water, to see Jack Sparrow. Before you turned to a corner, you peaked behind a pillar and saw two Royal Navy guards laughing and walking away, leaving Jack unattended. After they left, you made your move and you walked towards Jack's cell. When you got there, you saw him sitting in the corner, muttering something about not having rum with him. He looked up at you and, then, he stood up.
"Aw, sorry, love. Not tonight. I don't have any bottles of rum to make this night quite...amusing." Jack said, drunkly, as he curled one of his dreadlocks with his finger. You were confused on why he said that. "I don't know what you're talking about. I just came down here to give you some bread and water." You said, as you set the tray down on the ground. "Aw. That's very thoughtful. Bringing me bread and water the night before I get executed tomorrow morning. I shall thank the Royal Navy for their kind gesture for sending me not only bread and water, but also sending a beautiful lady to deliver it to me." Jack said, while smirking and bouncing his eyebrows. You blushed after he called you 'a beautiful lady'. 'Gosh, his voice is so attractive.' You thought to yourself.
But, then, you shook your head back into reality and said, "They're executing you tomorrow morning?" "Yep. I don't know why they decided to do it in the morning. I'm not really a morning person. I'm gonna have a stiff neck by then. Oh, wait, they're gonna hang me by the neck. That's worse than a stiff neck. Oh, well. Here's to a very fine last evening...without me bottle of rum." Jack said, as he picked up the cup of water off the tray and held it up in the air, drunkly, and gulped it down quickly, with a disgusted expression on his face at the end. "You're seriously gonna go through with this execution, Jack?" You asked, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah and how do you know my name, love?" Jack asked. "I've seen your face everywhere on 'Wanted' posters all over town before I started working here." You answered. "Really? Does my face look good?" He asked, smirking. You tried to hold back a laugh after he asked that.
"Yes, it looks fine, Jack, but let's focus. I can get you out of here and you won't have to go through with the execution tomorrow morning." You said. Jack was totally baffled after you said that. "You? A maid of this horrific palace help the good-looking Jack Sparrow escape? Never was expecting that." Jack said. You sighed and said, "I'm not really a maid of this horrific palace, Jack." Then, you turned around where your back was now facing Jack and you pulled down part of the sleeve on your right shoulder and revealed the crown-shaped birthmark to him. "This a well-known royal birthmark. My real name is (y/n), Princess of Abrela. I ran away from my kingdom three months ago so I could live the adventure life I've been wanting to do and not go through with royal responsibilities and an arranged marriage." You explained.
Jack was shocked when he found that you're a princess and you ran away just to have an adventurous life. "I only worked here as a maid so I could earn a little more money to sail off and begin a new life. Now I want to leave this palace since they treat me horribly and I've earned enough money to go somewhere else." You said. "Huh. I'd say that's mighty brave for a princess like you to run away, work as a maid, and leave this palace." Jack said. "So, do you want me to help you escape?" You asked, turning back to face him. Jack looked as if he was thinking, with a finger in his mouth and wobbling a bit. Then, he said, "I suppose so. I'll let you help me escape if..." Then, he put his face in between the bars. "You'd be my lady mate on my precious Black Pearl." He finished. You nodded and said, "Okay. Deal. I have nowhere else to go anyway to start my new adventurous life."
After that, you pulled a bobby-pin out of your (h/c) hair and you handed it to Jack. "Use this." You said. Jack looked at the bobby-pin closely for a second and said, "A bobby-pin? My dreadlocks are fine." You rolled your (e/c) eyes and said, "It's not for your hair, Jack. You use it to pick the lock with and it'll help you escape." "Oh. I see. Alright, then." Jack said, and, then, he placed the bobby-pin inside the lock and started picking at it. Then, you heard heavy footsteps coming. "I have to go, Jack. Leave the door slightly open and use it to knock out the guards. I'll meet you upstairs in the Main Hall." You whispered and Jack winked at you. Then, you ran up the stairs.
When you got upstairs and headed to the Main Hall, you were, suddenly, grabbed by the same Royal Navy guard that was rude to you earlier. "Hey! Let me go!" You said, struggling to get out of the man's grip. "I don't think so, Miss 'Smyth'. I think the King and Queen will be pleased to meet you as the woman you really are." He said, and, then, he carried you to the Royal Hall, where the King and Queen of Gustad were waiting patiently on their Royal Thrones for your arrival. The guard set you down back on your feet and you faced the King and Queen. "So, this must be (y/n), the missing Princess of Abrela? We weren't quite expecting you to be one of our maids. It's quite a miracle that one of our guards recognized the royal birthmark on your shoulder." The Queen said.
"It is a miracle, darling. Our kingdom needs a new royal member in our Royal Family. Since we have a princess in our palace, I think she'll be a perfect bride for our son, Charles." The King said. Your (e/c) eyes widened. The King and Queen reminded you of your parents. It was like you were reliving it all over again. "No! That won't happen, Your Majesty! I'm not gonna stay here and marry your son! I'm leaving this horrible place right now!" You said. "Don't you talk to us like that. Such unruly manners coming from a princess." The Queen said. "You're not leaving this palace, (y/n), and you have no right to object our decision." The King said.
"I object!" You heard a familiar voice from behind you, shouting. You turned and saw Jack, with his hand up in the air. "Jack!" You exclaimed. "What is that pirate doing here? Guards, seize him!" The King exclaimed. Then, you punch the rude Royal Navy guard in the face as you ran towards Jack, who grabbed your hand and ran out of the Royal Hall. When you both got to the main entrance, Jack pushed the doors open and you both ran out of the palace, heading towards the royal gate.
You both stopped in front of the gate, with the Royal Navy guards running from the entrance. "What are we gonna do, Jack?" You asked, panicking a little. "Easy solution, (y/n)." Jack said, and, then, climbed up the wall that was next to the gate. "Grab my hand, love." He said, holding his hand out towards you. Then, you grabbed his hand and he helped you climb up the wall. When you got to the top, he scooped you up into his arms and held you, in a bridal style. You were surprised that he did that, but you didn't mind because you've always wanted to be picked up by a man like that. You wrapped your arms around his neck as you looked into his dark brown eyes and he looked into your (e/c) eyes.
"It's so strange. I never thought I'd be helped and bringing a beautiful princess to have as one of me crew mates." He said. You giggled and said, "I may have royal blood within me. But right now, this is the new me, starting with the new adventurous life with the one and only Jack Sparrow." He smiled at you and said, "How about a kiss, love?" Then, without saying a word, you leaned forward and pressed your lips against his and he kissed you back. But the kiss was cut short when you both heard footsteps getting closer. You both looked and saw the Royal Navy coming towards you both, with their weapons up. You both turned back to each other. "Ready for the start of your first adventure running through the village, (y/n)?" Jack asked. "You betcha, Jack." You answered. Then, with you still in his arms, Jack jumped on the other side of the wall and he started running through the village to head to the Black Pearl.
