Will stared out at the glistening sea. The moon was up and it was a cold night. His thoughts were on the voyage he was about to take. The journey from Port Royal to Isla de Muerta, using the spare broken compass Jack had given him a year ago. They were going to crush, destroy, and eliminate all the cursed medallions of Cortés. Rid the world from the evil pieces, all 882 of them.
"Will darling, it's frightfully cold out here. Why don't you come inside?" Will turned his head; his eyes settled on the body of a young woman, his girl, as Jack had put it. Will smiled to himself as he remembered.
"No thank you Elizabeth, I'm quite all right out here," he turned once again to look out into the ocean. Elizabeth stood by his side, resting her head on his chest. She whispered,
"Tomorrow we shall be out there. We shall meet Jack Sparrow," Will looked at her, she smiled and shook her head,
"Sorry, Captain Jack Sparrow again. All the Aztec gold will be destroyed Will. Don't worry about that." She kissed him gently on the cheek. "I shall be inside. Please come in soon." She left him smiling.
"One more day Jack. One more." He whispered, before retiring for bed.

"You know what ole' Gibbsy?" Jack put a hand on Gibb's shoulder, "I think I need an new hat!" They both looked over to the table were Jack's hat was lying. It showed it's usage by a huge hole at the front. It had turned green from all the seawater that had soaked it and it needed a good strong wash.
"Aye Captain. I do say I agree with ye, but we're milies out from any town so you're gonna have to stick with it for a while!" He smiled slightly and climbed out onto deck. Jack stayed sitting in his cabin.
"I knew there'd be set backs in piracy! But no! I had to do it!" He kicked the table hard with his right foot. "Ah! Bloody 'ell!" He cursed holding his foot.
--------------------------
"Drink up me 'earties yo ho! We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me 'earties yo ho! Yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me." Will smiled as he turned the wheel to the direction of the compass.
"We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack. Drink up-"
"-Will, you need to learn some new songs mate." Will smiled,
"Well I suppose you could do better?" His best friend and the ships cleaner, Shane Farow smiled wickedly,
"Of course I can!" Will glanced down at his compass again,
"Do your best!" He grinned, still looking down. Shane cleared his throat,
"One, Two, Three. We're-"
"-Turner, the Black Pearl is on the starboard side!" Murtogg pointed out to sea. Will and Shane both followed his finger. The familiar black sails were just coming into view.
"Jack!" Will smiled, patting Shane on the back, "Tough look Farow, maybe later you can give me a tune!" Shane glared at him as Will walked away. He looked back at the Black Pearl. His heart skipped a beat.
FIRE!
"Will!! Will!! Fire on the Black Pearl!! Fire!!" He shouted, still looking out at the ship.
"Fire!!"
"I see smoke!!"
"We have to help them!!" Will yelled over everyone's panicked screams, "Mullroy! Murtogg! Turn the ship starboard! We have to reach them!!"
"It's too late Will!! The Masts crumbling!! It's going to sink!!" Shane shouted back.
"No!!"
"We're too late Will!" Shane stood by Will's side. He could see the horror upon Will's face. "He might have survived Will. They all could of."
They steered the boat into the wreckage. All were looking around for any survivors.
"Jack!!" Will called out. There came no answer. He looked desperately through the smoke. His eyes rested on a figure lying on some wood. It wasn't moving.
"There! Over there!" He called out, pointing towards the body. The ship slowly made its way out to it. Will reached out with an oar to turn over the body. Tears welling up in his eyes. He gasped as he saw the face. The burnt face.
"It's Jack." His eyes suddenly caught a movement among the wreckage. His eyes turned to it. Could it be? But it was impossible.
Jack the monkey was crawling aboard the ship. Their ship. No one else noticed it, only Will. It crouched down besides a cannon. Then Will saw it, the first few sparks of a fire.
"Jack no!!" Will yelled, running towards the monkey. Shane ran after him, thinking he was only upset about Jack. He couldn't see the Jack the monkey.
"Will! Calm down!"
"He's about to blow us up! Can't you see him?!" Shane stared at Will,
"See who?"
Will looked at the monkey. It turned and saw him, Will swore he smiled at him. The fire began to grow. The flames catching the bottom of the sails.
"We're all going to die," Will whispered. A great ounce of wind directed the flames at him. It set his clothes alight.
"AHHHH!" Will opened his eyes. He was sitting up in bed, sweat trickling down his back and face.
"Will? Will what is it?" Elizabeth whispered besides him. Will blinked a few times. Was this real?
"N...n...nothing. It was just a nightmare." He closed his eyes and rested his head back on the pillow. And what a nightmare it had been!
