Author Note
1. I read on the internet somewhere that they might make a 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Which to be honest I wouldn't mind so much. It said though if they do it would be mostly about Jack and it might not completely be about the fountain of youth. Also if they do make a 4th they won't start until 2009-2011.
2. I tried to find out where Tortuga and Port Royal were so the directions might not be correct.
3. This is my first fanfic story and honestly I'm not the best speller so any help with that and anything else is much appreciated.
4. Enjoy!
Jack Sparrow and the Fountain of Youth
Chapter 1-Jack's Heading
When we last saw Captain Jack Sparrow he was in a dingy, due to the fact that Captain Barbosa had once again taken The Black Pearl.
Jack sat there with his bottle of rum, the map he had taken from Barbosa, and his compass that points to whatever he wants most.
He didn't become the captain of The Flying Dutchman like he had wanted to, but at least Davy Jones and Jack's debt to him were no more. Add to that William Turner, a former blacksmith turned pirate somewhat friend of his, replaced Davy Jones.
Will's father had become a crewmember of The Dutchman, and Will had sworn to his father that he would kill Davy Jones and set his father free.
The heart of Davy Jones had fallen into the hands of the East India Trading Company, and Lord Becket was determined to demolish all pirates.
The Trading Company and pirates had met to battle. Those on The Pearl and The Dutchman were the only ones to fight.
Will went on The Dutchman to get Davy Jones's heart. Towards the end of the battle Jack, Will, and Elizabeth were all on The Dutchman when Davy Jones stabbed Will in the heart.
By that time Jack had his heart and was ready to stab it but in the end he held Will's hand and stabbed the heart.
Davy Jones staggered before falling over the railing, and into the water.
Jack and Elizabeth left the ship with Will still on it.
In the end Will lived and Jack had lost a chance to live forever.
Elizabeth Turner, as she had come to be during the battle against The Dutchman, told Jack she was proud of him.
He bit on the cork and pulled it out with his teeth. He spit it out and took a swig before looking at the map.
The map was more like a puzzle. It was circular in shape and was made up of various rings. As he turned one of the rings it finished a picture of Florida. Next to it was a goblet that said, "Aqua de Vida" or "Water of Life". It was the location of the fountain of youth.
Jack took out his compass to find his heading. It pointed northwest.
The dingy was nowhere near as grand as The Pearl. There was no comparison really. The dingy was also worse than the first ship he had named himself captain of.
The Barnacle may have only been a fishing boat (except for the time the sword of Cortés turned it into a mighty vessel) but it still had a mast, sail, steering wheel, and below deck. Unlike the dingy which wasn't much more than a rowboat with a short mast and a couple of sails. At the top of the mast flopping in the breeze was a jolly roger with a red sparrow on it.
Jack was worried that the dingy might not make it to Florida. He had just left Tortuga so he wasn't going to go there to find a ship, and a crew. Was it worth going to a Navy Port and commandeering one of their ships again? If he was caught there wouldn't likely be anyone who could help him out and he would have to find his own means of leverage or risk facing the gallows.
He got out his compass again and rechecked it. This time it was pointing southwest instead of northwest.
He closed the compass, shook it slightly, and opened it again.
It couldn't have been pointing to the rum because that would have meant it fell into the water.
He quickly checked on the rum to be sure it hadn't fallen into the water, and saw it sitting if front of him where he had left it.
He checked the compass again and saw that it was pointing in the same direction.
He hadn't known the compass to be wrong since he got it from Tia Dalma, whom he later found out was Calypso trapped in human form.
The only time it failed him was when he didn't know what he wanted.
He decided to follow the compass.
