Freedom: Part Three
Prologue: A re-cap of the last two stories to catch you all up!
Disclaimer: AHOY! This is a third story/continuation to the Expect Events Upon Returning to Jamaica and The Unexpected Events on the Trip to Jamaica. I'm going to write this story so that if you didn't read either of those, it won't really matter—you'll hopefully get the things that I'm talking about! For those of you who read either of those or both, ENJOY! Hopefully you're dying to know what's going to happen now…
In the previous stories, Lindsey Ferrara is a young woman who traveled through time and ended up in the colonial Caribbean from the year 2005. She met Elizabeth and Will who quickly befriended her in Port Royal as she opened up a store and sold music. Yet, in this store she found a piece of music that she had heard when she was visiting her Aunt down in Jamaica—the same song was sung and played there that was also down in colonial Jamaica. Through circumstances, she met the witty Jack Sparrow and along with Sparrow, Swann and Turner, the four embarked on a long journey to retrieve the lyrics from Lindsey's modern world, whilst many interruptions plagued their journey (Dead Man's Chest and At World's End).
Through all of the adventuring, Lindsey fell in love with Jack and Jack with her—though neither of them was willing to admit it. Will and Elizabeth go through rocky waters regarding their love for one another, and Lindsey and Will soon suspect a brewing romance between Sparrow and Elizabeth. Will and Lindsey find each other and attempt one night of romance between them, but decide that they are merely friends lost in their love for another.
After At World's End adventures cease, Will is no longer with the quartet, but now Captain of the Flying Dutchman, leaving Elizabeth to her lonesome. Lindsey returns to her world surprised to find that time has passed without her and that it is now the year 2008—and no one has noticed her absence. Jack travels to the year 2008 to retrieve Lindsey and bring her back to his world. The two discover mysteries of the song and they two return to the Colonial Caribbean in hopes to finally put an end to their initial journey.
They set sail for Port Royal in hopes of bringing along Elizabeth, who jumps at the opportunity. With the full crew aboard the Pearl, they set sail for La Isla del Oro—an island that cannot be found. They find the island and embark on their journey through the jungle in search for the tree of the Sun King so they can bury the music and lyrics to finally put the king and his daughter to peaceful rest. However, their journey is interrupted when natives of the island attack the pirates and take them captive. Just as about the chief is about to kill Jack and Lindsey, Captains Teague and Barbossa storm the island and fight the natives, freeing Jack, Lindsey and Elizabeth and the crew. There is a battle that ensues in which Jack is killed beneath the tree of the Sun King. Lindsey buries the complete song—lyrics and music, as the natives are all defeated by the pirates.
The Sun King and his daughter appear from the tree and grant Elizabeth and Lindsey each one wish for their trying journey in returning the song to its rightful place. Elizabeth wishes Will free from the Dutchman and brought back to her. Her wish is granted by the Sun King, who places Turner's father as captain and returns Will to his beloved Elizabeth. Lindsey wishes for Jack to come back to her, and the Sun King grants her wish as well. Once the quartet is reunited before the Sun King and his daughter, they grants Will, Elizabeth, Lindsey and Jack all immortal life for the enormous journey and dedication they all had.
As the excitement winds down, Captain Teague reveals his mysteries to Lindsey and Jack regarding his own immortality from the Fountain of Youth and how he knew of the legend of the Sun King. He informs Jack that Lindsey is the one that he is meant to spend his life with and to make sure not to let her go. He also tells Jack that he needs to bear children in order to pass on his legacy. Jack is skeptical now that he can live forever, but decides that it could happen as long as Lindsey is the one bearing his children.
Aboard the Pearl, Lindsey and Jack give one another to each other as they sail to Port Royal. Once in port, Elizabeth and Will return home while Lindsey and Jack find themselves back in her old music store—the very location their journey began. It is there that Lindsey feels she has unfinished business she needs to attend to at home in 2008 regarding her father and education. Jack demands to go with her. They set sail for Massachusetts.
Once in the Boston Harbor, Jack uses the powder made from the leaves from the tree of the Sun King to send Lindsey back to her world in 2008—without him. Crying in his arms, he confesses that he loves her and that he will follow her as she fades away.
