Chapter 1
With a turn of the wheel, Jack looked to his special compase, a grin on his face, as he then looked straight ahead "Drink up, party's yoho." he grined wide, as then had the headings for his new location. Right down to the belly of the ship for some warm rum
"What are your orders captain?" Gibbs asked as the captain of the black pearl passed him up, he had already filled his leather flask with rum
Taking a drag from his flask, Jack looked to Mr. Gibbs, the grin still wide on his face. "Out to Sea Mr. Gibbs. I want to get as far away from the land as possible, for no doudt the gallow's is still calling my name." Jack said in a rush, looking nervesly towards land
"Aye im sure it is." Gibbs chuckled before barkin at the crew to lift all sails into the wind. "Any particular direction ya fancy captain?"
"No." Jack said as he walked around the upper deck of his fine ship, leaning up against the rails, looking over the side's towards the water
"Aye captian!" Gibbs said he handled the crew, makin sure everyone did their part in puttin as much distance between the black pearl an the gallows as possible
Having walked his ship, seeing it was just fine, Jack relaxed just ever the slightest, as the Black Pearl headed out towards open sea. An hour out Jack spotted what appeared to be a small island. Getting to the highest part on deck, Jack leaned over the side, hoping for a better look
Also catching sight of the land Gibbs approched the captain. "Land already, should we check it out? or let them up in the crows nest look it over with their scopes?" Gibbs knew from experiance islands at time had potential be it with supplies or whatnots but it could also be a trap
"Land ho, Mr. Gibbs. Might prove to be interestin." Jack stated as he kept his eye's on the island
With the captains approval Gibbs an the crew got the pearl as close as possible to the island an prepared a long boat to go explore the island. No one knowin what they might find
Jack though cerious himself, opted to stay on board the Black Pearl, as he went to his quarters, Captians quarters, happy to have only the rum as his company for the moment
Gibbs went a head to the island with a few other crew, armed just in case.. better safe then sorry when it came to bein a pirate after all
As always Pintel an Ragetti where the ones doing the rowing of the long boat, as they talked aloud. "What ya rekin we might find here?" came from Ragetti.
"I dont know, but it was Captin's order's that brought us out here." Pintel stated the obveous
Gibbs tolerated their yammerin but only so much, currently he was keepin look out for anythin that might be a trap. so far all he saw was bits of debrie, not nough to suggest a beached or damaged ship but nough to suggest perhaps the island was inhabited or used to be
However there was only 1 island inhabitant, an that was Hexxus. In his lil make shift shelter just inside the tree line. he was sleepin at the moment, tryin to conserve what energy he had left. he had been on that island for perhaps a week now with lil food an water*
"I hope we find some treasure. I like shiny things." Ragetti stated as he continued to row.
Pintel gave him the odest of frowns, as he to continued rowing.
When the long boat made it to the island Gibbs hopped out with the others. "Mind ye heads now!" He ordered, takin in the foot prints in the sand. Compaired to his own who ever was or still is on the island was either a woman or a small man.. be nice if it was a woman but his money was on the later, that it was a small man or a teenager
Too old to be no teenager, but yes Hexxus was a small man. He was only 5 feet tall an scrawny, he had feminine features though.. Mainly in his face an bone structure an ah well his personality as well*
Having only one eye, Ragetti sight of observation was better then most, an only just making it outta the long boat he pointed towards Hexxus little makeshift shelter. "What's that over there?" he stated pointing towards it
"That would be our inhabitants dwellins i figure." Gibbs said as he approched the shelter slowly, hand on his pistol just incase. the island itself was worth gatherin a few things from, there was coconut trees an probably other things but for now they had to deal with this potental threat or plunder should the occupant be dead already
Hexxus woke to the sound of voices.. voices? here? was he hallusinatein again? he was gonna be so pissed if the coconuts were talkin to him again
Having been ordered to stay with the long boat Ragetti, simply watched as Mr. Gibbs, an Pintel slowly approached the shelter
Approaching the make shift shelter Gibbs glanced to pintel to make sure he was ready an well to make sure the man wasnt bout to do somethin rash. he reached out an moved what he assumed was posed to be a door aside an looked inside to see the semi awake ah... man? wait yes there was facial hair it as a man. "Yeh 'ims still alive, somewhatish."
OK that was real voices an he sat up in a hurry. Ok bad idea, he got light headed an nearly fainted, what he hadnt had nearly nough food or water to be on his toes but hey he was tryin to be
Noding his head once Pintel was ready to back up Mr. Gibbs if he had too, but seeing that the...man, in the shelter could bearly stand it really wasn't nessercary. "Seems ta me he be not far from Davy Jones locker." Pintel stated as he looked through what little the man had
"Hey!" Gibbs said as he whaps Pintel. "He aint dead yet." Though he could tell without food or water the man wouldnt last long, what to do. "Well lets take 'im with us, the captain will deside his fate."
Hexxus had very little, had a cutless an a bag with a few things in it. not worth nearly as much as the peirceins he had, he had soild gold rings in his ears.. hoops at hte bottom an smaller rings on up is ear.. bout 4 or so in each ear
At the mention of taking the man with them, Pintel sighed silently, as he straped the bag to his belt, knelt down an took hold of both of Hexxus feet, looking to Gibbs
Gibbs doesnt need to be told he grabs the runty man under the shoulders an hauls him up, rather easily too damn the guy was light. "Alright lets get 'im back to the ship, after the captain deals wtih 'im we will come back an gather anythin useful."
Hexxus feels himself bein lifted an woulda put up a fight but he didnt have it in him, hed wait an see what happened as he heard them mention a ship an a captain. perhaps he could barter a ride an water an food
Once all where in the long boat, it didn't take them long to get back to the Black Pearl. Still inside his quarters, Jack had just finished half a bottle of rum, when he heard that the other's where returning. With a sigh he stood an went out on deck, looking over the side, frowing when he saw the new...man, among the rest of his crew
Gibbs looks up at the captain from the long boat, as a rope ladder was tossed down, no sense in haulin the long boat up only to put it back down again. "Well captain.. we did find somethin alright *wont bring the man onboard without the captains permission."
"Is ...he, still alive?" Jack asked just outta ceriousity as he looked from Mr Gibbs to the lean looking man
"Barely captain, but nothin some rum an food cant cure, shall i bring him aboard?" Gibbs stated as he looked up to his captain
Hex grumbles a bit an tries to sit up in the boat, he couldnt laze about.. not if he was gonna try an barter a ride, didnt want them to think he was so far gone to not bother
Grimicing as he thought it over quickly, Jack finally agreed to let the man on board his ship. "Yes, first thing's though will be a bath. He reeks." Jack stated scrunching his nose at the smell
Gibbs let out a laugh. "Aye captain maroonin does that to ya." He looks at Hexxus. "Come on, on ya feet an up the ladder."
Hexxus pouts at the captains comment, hey its not his fault he smelled! he grumbled a bit as he listened to the older pirate an got to his feet an started to climb the ladder.. it was difficult but what other choice did he have? pirates had to pull their own weight
Sparrow watched as Hexxus climb aboard his ship, being lead away by other member's of the crew to get him fixed up. "What more did you find?" he called down to Gibbs
"Other then him not much but we can stock up on some coconuts an lumber." Gibbs stated. Always good to have extra wood round to patch the ship with
Hexxus didnt fuss he just did as he was told less they toss him off the ship to die like the last one did
"Then do so." Jack had ordered, an within 2 hours plenty of wood an coconuts had been gathered. That done, once all his men where back on board ship, they sailed back out to open seas
Hexxus in that time, he had been bathed an fed even if it wasnt a lot it was better then bein hungry, an the water was to die for. he figured sooner or later hed be brought to the captain, just cuz they had helped so far didnt mean he was out of the woods he could still be killed or sold into slavery
An Hexxus was right, as soon he was brought to Captain Jack Sparrow's quarters, he himself sitting in his lush chair, holding a bottle of rum in his right hand, his compase in his left, looking to it. Then ever so slowly he closed the compase, with his finger tips an looked to Hexxus
Hexxus, when he was dropped off in the captains quarters, he looked a LOT better. he was cleaned up an he had shaved up in his face. he looked lesss worn now that he was fed. he looked at the captain when said man looked up at him, so he felt the need to say somethin. "Thanks fers savin mys bacon froms that island." Hexxus had a odd accent
"I was low on men as it where. One more added to it, even one such as you, wouldn't hurt much would it?" Jack stated with a cocky grin as he stayed seated in his chair, looking right at Hexxus
Hexxus smirks at the comment, one of his canine teeth showin an it was a defined pointy canine at that. "Ohs I cans pulls my weight roundsa ships ifn I has too." He was wearin the shirt that had been in his bag, it was white an over top was a shoulderless corset. He was wearin basic black pants an heeled boots
"You know, if it wasn't for the fact I know, your a man, you'd actually pass as a woman." Jack stated seeing how he was dressed as he still remain seated, having reached for a green apple, taking a bite
"Ohs ya has no ideas." Hexxus said in a VERY girly voice, if he had a skirt on there would be no tellin the differance without lookin up said skirt. "Do tells mes, thisa bes black pearl yes? sos ya bes Jack Sparrows aints yas? ah nos, Captains Jacks Sparrow yes?"
At hearing the girly voice, Jack sat up from his seat rather quickly, taking a step back, frowing. "Ey, that be me. Why?"
Hex snickers in amusement at the reaction, usin his own voice now which wasnt that much more masculane then the feminine one. "Ives hear ofas yas, whats pirates hasnts yes? Yas repretations preceeds yas."
"How so?" Jack asked just a little bit cerious, as the shock of the voice lost some of its venom, as he looked back to his map
"Cus ivea beens to Tortugas." Hexxus said as if that explained it all. "Scarlet gives her regards buts I aints ups to slappins someones biggers thens me ans justs unmarooned me."
"Yes that wouldn't be ta smart on yer case. Plus that would just be weird on mine." Jack commented looking off to the side, frowing a bit, as he then looked back to Hexxus with a small awkword smirk. "So what be ya name?"
Hex looks round the quarters, rockin back an forth on his heels an that was somethin since he was wearin heels. so he had good sea legs. "Namesa Hexxus buts everys ona call mes Hex." He said as he looked back at the other man, hm.. it was hard to read this one.. normally he could tell a straighter from nother fruitcake like himself.. 99% of the time they werent like him so oh well thats how he was gonna play things
Jack had noticed it as he was looking down towards his feet, wondering how the hell he didn't fall over, then looked back up to his face. "Hex? That's it? Just Hex?"
"Yups." has mad balance skills yo, it showed he was used to bein on the water. "Justa Hex, aints used last names ina sos longs i duns bothers nones witha its no more." He turns on his heels to face the captain as if expectin more questions
"How was it you came to be on that island, Hexxus?" Jack asked raising a questioning eyebrow at the, man
"Ohs thats unpleasents storys." He said as his grin turned into a bit of a pout/scowl. "Letsa says thes crew hadas 'disagreements' bouts hasins mes rounds."
"I couldn't imagin why." Jack said with a wise ass smirk, knowing exactly why. The man was a queer
"I knows rights?" he grins right back. "Buts theys dids." Hexxus approched but kept well out of grabbin range, just in case. "I wasa luckys to bes marooneds ans not just gutted outs rights though, had to damn nears leaps offa the boats."
This time Jack stayed his ground, not moving away from Hexxus as he approached, getting somewhat used to him already. "Yes...well, not exactly sure how my crew will take ta you. Being how your dressed. You might still want ta watch your back." Jack informed
"Ohs ima used to that." he said witha shrug. "I likesa the ways I dress." he said as he flipped his hair in a girly way, he was enjoyin sparrows company since he seemed less ah.. uptight then others hes been round. "I looks goods." he smirks at Jack. "Almost as goods as you."
"Now ey wouldn't say that. Ya look" Jack swollowed, "decent. But not as good as ey do." Jack said with another hard ass grin of his
Hex grins wiiiiide an moves a lil closer to him. "Whats yas sayin, yas bes drops deads gorgous." yea it was pretty clear what team he pitched for
"Way thank ya." Jack said a bit nerves as he watched Hexxus approach him once more. It was true, though, what Hex had said an Jack knew it. Unlike most he was actually proud of how he looked, using it many atimes to his advantage
Hex doesnt get to close again, he was just bout arm length away. "Sos i has job thens yes? beens ons sea long times, mights not bes as strongs as somes buts i do pulls weight... an ims "real" goods companys."
"That's all amatter o' opionon." Jack stated refering to the last bit, as he sat back on the chair, taking a swig from his rum bottle, an looking over the compass again
Hex snickers a bit an watches, not invadein his person bubble.. welll not YET anyway but surely he would in the near future. damn that rum looked goooood, he aint had rum in a while he made note to have some before the day was out
Looking to the compass, the arrow pointed first to the rum bottle, which Jack looked to, took ahold of an drank from again. "Yes, now what else." he said talking to the compass, not realizing Hexxus was watching
"Whats elses?" Hexxus tilts his head, his long blond hair slidein to the side
Glancing to Hexxus, jack looked back to his compass, then right back at Hexxus, slightly wide eye'd, as he put the compass away back onto his belt. "What are ya doin?"
"Yas asked mes whats else, i dunna knows whats yas means? ya has more questions?" Hexxus looked confused
"Oh." Jack said as he again stood, walking away from Hexxus. "Ey suppose ey did. Actual, no." Jack said as he walked over to the door an opened it. "That'll be all actually. 'ave a good night." he said with an emontionless smile
Hex raises a eyebrow then just shrugs. "Oks nights Captins." he said as he left without nother word or anythin. He figured the man was gettin a bit drunk so hed let him be sides if he was crew now he had to do as he was told
Once Hexxus had left Jack quickly closed the door, letting out a loud sigh. "That was ta close." he stated to himself as he went back over to his desk an sat back down in the chair, taking a swig from his rum
Out on the deck Ragetti had noticed as Hexxus had come out from the captains quarters, an had to look twice before realizing just who it was he was looking at. It was the guy they saved from the island
Hex gives Ragetti a wave an a grin. "Ellos! Thank fers the helps gettin mes offa island." he would try to get along with the crew even if no one liked him, he was used to it but at least no one could say he didnt try an be "normal"
Unable to believe his eye's Ragetti made his way over to Hexxus, having to blink several times as he stopped a few steps infront of the other man. He had to addmit, Hexxus was, beautifull looking. "You sure are pretty. Never seen a pretty man, before." he said alittle shyly
Hex grins widely at hearin that, practically beamin. "Thankies! Ya rather dashins self." he said in a friendly not suggestive way. "Namesa Hexxus, buts can calls mes Hex fers short. Whatsa ya names?"
"Oh, my name be Ragetti. But they all call me Rag, for short. I'm going ta get somethin ta eat. W-would you care ta join me?" Ragetti said still acting shyly, his face even going a bit redish
"Sures!" he said eagerly, he was hungry an to top it off it was in his best intrest to make a friend just incase theres hostilities towards him later. "Afters yas sincea I still dunnas know my ways round thisa ship."
"Oh, ya, ya sure." Ragetti said as he lead the way towards the small dining area of the ship
Jack meanwhile, had also come aboard deck to find Mr. Gibbs, as he had a heading for the Black Pearl
Hex follows after Ragetti's heels to the mess hall, staying quiet
Gibbs was at the wheel makin sure the ship was on course an that everyone was workin as usual
Having found Mr. Gibbs, Jack wasted no time in telling him which direction to turn the ship. Aside from the rum, what Jack wanted most was enturnal youth, an thanks to the compass, he was now on the starting leg of that journey
"Afraid we dont have much ta offer except rum an fish." Ragetti said as they entered into the small room, the size of a full four door car
"So where we fixin on headin captain?" Gibbs asked as he turned the wheel on the ship, the large vessle turnin towards its owners desire
"Rum makesa everythins taste bettas." Hexxus said as he looked round the room an was thankful he was small so not to take up too much room
"To enturnal youth, my friend." Jack said with a smile as he looked over his shoulder to Gibbs
Ragetti didn't say much as he got himself a half bottle of rum an a small fully cooked whole fish
Hexxus watched the other man to see where he got the food an drink then mimiced him after Ragetii had sat down
"Eternal youth huh?" Gibbs woulda ask ifn somethin like that could exist but after their previous adventure hed believe anythin
"Oh yes my friend, or atleast hopefully." Jack said as he looked back out towards the sea, eye's a bit wide, knowing more then likely Gibbs was giving him a 'WTH' look
"I know it don look like much, but the fish is actual really good." Ragetti stated as he cut into his, pulling out bits of fish meat
Gibbs really was givin him the wtf look, he hoped that there was somethin out there for the captain cuz the crew would need somethin to keep their morale up
Hex sits down with his own. "Foodsa bes foods, ima thankfuls to has some even ifn its not much." he works on diggin into his. "Sos tellsa me mores bout yas?"
Jack hoped so aswell, putting all his faith into the compass to lead him to what he wanted most of all
"Nothing really ta tell, been a pirate me whole life, follwing captains orders like any good salior." Ragetti said looking to Hexxus
Hex noms his fish as he listens, he was barely able to to keep from just inhalein it since he was so hungry. "Hads anys good adventures?"
Gibbs put some faith in the captain an will hope for the best. That's all he could do
"Mostly yes, but then whats an adventure without the risk of death, not that for the longest of times I had to worry about that." Ragetti said as he staired into nothing as he ate his fish
Jack made sure to watch his compass carefully, for the direction always changed, if only the slightest. "What would you do , if you had enturnal life?"
"Yas didnt has worry bouts dyin? what ya means?" he was very interested now
"Me? eh... hmm.." Gibbs said as he rubs his chin in thought. "Never thought bout livin forever."
"See 10 years ago, when Captain Barbossa was in charge of the Black Pearl we came across a whole cave filled with nothing but gold an treasure. But in taking some of it, espically some Aztec gold, we where cursed. Living, yet unable to die. Under moon light we where nothing but living skeletons, with strips of cloth as our cloths." ragetti explained with a saddened tone
"Yes well aside from imortiality from the Aztec gold, which is not the imortiality I'm lookin for, It would seem there is another way to live forever." Jack said with much interest, a smile on his face which then turned into a frown. "But what it is, I dont know yet."
Hex was all wide eyed. "Really? sounds likes a blast buts thens again ya sounds sad sos i take it thatsa it wasnt alls that funs?"
"Well if there is such a thing im sure the crew will be estatic about it." he wasnt sure immortality was for him but it could prove somethin very worth while
"No it wasn't. As I said we where the living dead, an as such could still feel hunger, thirst, yet no matter how much we ate, or drank, it did nothing." Ragetti explained as he looked to Hexxus
"Who said anything about the crew." Jack stated looking to Gibbs with a dont ask dont tell look
"Thats terribles! buts ya ok nows yes?" it was clear he was honestly listenin to him
Gibbs raises his eyebrow. "Oh.. i see.. you do know the crew will need somethin right?" he didnt want the captain to end up with yet nother mutany
"Oh yes, where all fine now. Back to being full living, as the curse was just lifted 4 days ago. First hour I ate nothing but sweets, then regreted it as it made me sick." Ragetti chuckled low. "But it was worth it."
"All ta awear o' this, Mr. Gibbs." Jack said as he patted his friends shoulder, taking control of the wheel, streeing the ship in the directions the compass was giving
"Wells goods! ima jelous i aints had a sweet ins a long times, did yas has cake?" Hexxus asked
Gibbs stood aside as the captian took control of the ship as is his right, hed hope for the best thats all pirates could do really
"Oh yes!" Ragetti giggled. "Cakes, an pies, an all sorts of sweets. As i said so much so it made me, an Pintel sick as dogs. Still alittle sick to tell the truth." Ragetti sighed as he nibbled on the fish, but mostly on the rum
"Ya never did answer my question Mr. Gibbs, 'bout imortiality." Jack stated as he never took his eye's off of the sea an his compass
Hex enjoys his rum as well, he could handle his rum well. his fish was nearly finished with. "Still sounds likea good times to mes."
"Well to be honest Captain, I dont think immortality would be up my ally." Gibbs said honestly
"An why is that Mr. Gibbs?" Jack asked truely cerious, as he looked to the man
"Only the last 4 days, the last 10 years, though where hell, an I for one have no intentions of going through that again." Ragetti stated as he looked to Hex, then quieted eatting more fish now
"Because ive lived long enough." he said honestly with a bit of a smile* id get rather bored if i had to live forever, what do ye do when ye have done everything there is to do?
"Wells amas glad ya isa not cursed nos mores." Hexxus said as he finished his fish. "Ahs hitsa spot!"
"Simple, ya redo everything ya liked, nothing that ya didn't, an then more ta do." Jack said as if it where that simple, watching as the last rays of sunlight from the day slipped below the sea, leaving the sky in hue's of red an orange
"Me too, as are the rest of us. The crew, I mean." Ragetti stated as he continued eatting at his fish
"Ah it just aint fer me Captain." Gibbs was much older then Jack an in some ways wiser but he wouldnt stop Jack from doin what he wanted
Dispite bein done hex continued to sit there with the tall skinny pirate
Ragetti took notice to this rather quickly, happy that the pretty man stayed sitting with him, as he finally finished eatting. "Care to join me up on deck?"
"Suit yourself, but ey 'ave no intentions of dieing young, or dieing at all, for that matter." Jack stated as night had risen, the twinkle of the stars coming out over the clear sky
"Sure!" hex was tired still from recoverin from his maroonin but he was willin to go with Ragetti, he needed to learn bout the ship an as a bonus he was makin a friend
Gibbs looks up at the sky. "Dyins just a nother part of life captain but whatever suits ye, though make sure its what ye really want before ye take it. cuz them deals aint the kind ye can go back on."
"Dying my good man, is not on the list o' thing's Ey 'ave ta do. Savvy?" Jack stated as the compass arrow once again changed, an Sparrow, turning the ship to follow its lead
"Beautifull night. Clear, too. Means tomorrow will be clear an sunny aswell." Ragetti stated as he walked over to the railing
"Aye captain." Gibbs answered as he looked out over the deck
Hex will follow Ragetti where ever he goes. "Isa nice an cools tonights toos, itsa was sos hot ons the island the last few days itsa nice breaks." he leans on the railin lookin out to sea, his hair blowin round a bit from the wind
Indeed it was cool out, a comfortable cool, even with the breeze of the wind as it helped move the Black Pearl. Ragetti, full of fish an rum, rested himself up against one of the mast pole's.
Jack for once was thankfull for the calm clear night
Hex looks back at ragetti. "Ya ok?" he asked just to make sure the other man had not ate to much
Gibbs keeps his eyes on the crew an on the sky, the sea was a tempermental mistress... she could turn on ya in a instant
"Just tired." Ragetti stated as he rubbed at his real eye, with a yawn
As he was able to rethink on Mr. Gibbs words. No. No he wanted this. He wanted imortiality more then anything, an was willing to give up almost anything for it, save for his own soul an the Black Pearl
Hex looks out at sea before movin to sit by Ragetti, stretchin his legs out to give his feet a break from the heels he was wearin
Gibbs however ment what he said to Sparrow
It wasn't long before Ragetti was sound asleep
Looking up to the moon, Jack could tell that it was well past 3 in the morning, an needing some sleep, he called once again upon Mr. Gibbs to take control over the ship, as he went to his quarters, an his bed for much needed sleep
Hexxus might as well chill where he was as well, at least bein near Ragetti gave him a better feelin then bein alone just incase
Gibbs acknowlages the Captain an takes over mindin the ship
In the search for his imortaility, a week had passed quickly aboard the Black Pearl, during which that time, Jack had found a mape, which had lead him an the crew to a hidden island covered by thick fog. Launching the long boats, Jack, along with Mr. Gibbs, Pintel, Ragetti, an even now Hexxus, headed towards land, being lead by nothing more then a broken compass
Hexxus was in much better health now an more able to pull his weight as a member of the crew, he wasnt sure what they were doin in this place but hed do as hes told. in that past week he had been hangin out with Ragetti on their free time, it was nice to have a friend that didnt mind that he dressed like a girl
Gibbs was in charge of guidein the long boat in which ever way the captain ordered it to go. "I have a bad feelin in me bones about this place Captian," he said to jack, "such thick fog.. can only be bad luck."
Jack however semi ignored Gibbs as he was too busy paying attention to his compass, an once on shore, he quickly leaded the way
Ragetti himself didn't mind spending time with Hexxus either, infact he rather enjoyed it, having a slight crush on the fancy, pretty looking man
Gibbs, as well as the others, followed the excentric captain through the island
Hexxus had learned fast who did an didnt like him, stickin with ragetti when he had free time helped keep said unplesant crew members at bay to a extent. also the taller man was good company, he was unaware of the crush thinki Ragetti saw him as a good friend an he was
Through forest, creeks, hills an over a bridge, Jack followed the way the compass lead him, very much intent on getting what he wanted
Ragetti though, being afraid of hights it took him alittle longer to cross said bridge, whimpering the entire time, holding onto the ropes for dear life
Hexxus wasnt bothered at all by hights so he was willin to stay behind with Ragetti an help him across one step at a time
Gibbs keeps an eye on the crew as they follow Jack, makin sure no one got seperated also to make sure they were ready incase there was a trap or ambush
Jack on the other hand, was already on the other side, looking to Ragetti rolling his eye's. "Step it up men! Ant got all day!"
"Y-yes sire!" Ragetti stammered as he then hurryied up his pace, after all the faster he went the faster he was off the bridge
"Isa oks I stays with yas." Hexxus said as he took Ragettis arm to help him feel more anchored an secure as they crossed the bridge
Gibbs was more patiant then the captain, it wasn't like Ragettis fear of hights was a new thing to him
No it wasn't a new thing, but Jack would wait for them, after all, he wasn't that stupid to go off alone on this island by himself. Waiting on Ragetti, Jack took a few steps here an there, to make sure of the next location that the compass was guiding them
Unable to take it much longer, Ragetti lost control an with a girlish scream that would make Hexxus proudfull, he sprinted the rest of the way across the bridge, even past Jack, who wasn't paying him any attention as if this was normal, which it was
Hex was indeed very proud of that scream, he couldnt help grinnin an gigglein as he ran after the man across the bridge. an all could BASK in his awesomeness to be able to run an at that across a wood plank bridge in those heels
Gibbs couldn't help but facepalm. "Ragetti! get back here! Hex dont encourage ím!"
"Good! Now that we're all across let's continue, savvy." Jack stated as he once again lead the way
"Oo, I 'ate them bridges." Ragetti gasped as he held onto a tree, trying to get his breathing back to normal
"Is oks I understands, ima likes that bouts havin to actually bes in waters buts", he makes a shh face an gesture, "duns tella no ones that k?"
"Aye captain! Ya heard him ya bunch of louts! get a move on or ill have yalls hides fer a new pair o'boots!" Gibbs shouted to the men as the pressed forward
Ragetti noded silently as he looked to Hexxus, then letting go of the tree he followed once more after his Captain
After walking a half hour, Jack paused as they came to the entrance to a large cave. "Didn't expact that." he stated more to himself
Gibbs aint a fan of unexplored caves, too many risks an threats. "aye... that we didnt."
Hex stands next to the one eyed pirate as they made it to the cave, well he aint been in no cave in a long time
"I dont like the looks of this cave." Pintel stated as they followed Jack into the cave
Having to lite a stick, as a source of light, Jack was the first one in, an thankfully it was quiet tall an spaceous, though as he lead the way through the cave, an several smaller tunnels, the group of Pirates, came across what appeared to be a large tear shaped boulder, that stood upright. Walking closer to it, Jack could see that it had all sorts of engraved markings on it. None of which he understood
Hexxus got a bad vibe from this place too but he didnt voice it. Yet.
Gibbs, from the start of walkin in the caves he had been leavin marks on the wall witha bit of stone just incase they got turned round
Looking to his compass, Jack made sure that it was indeed pointing at the big rock, before closeing it, an attaching it back to his belt. Jack slowly made his way up to the rock, making slow circles, as he looked from it to Mr. Gibbs
Gibbs approched the strange rock as well, lookin it over before addressin the captain. "So now what captain?" was what ever they were seekin under the rock? or inside it?
"Not entirely sure meself. It seems to be writen in some unknow writting." Jack stated as he continued a slow circle of it again
"Could be a warnin or a curse." Gibbs said in a hushed tone to the captain so not to spook the rest of the men
"But what I want most is imortaility. The compass lead me 'ere, ta this. This 'as ta be it...doesn't it?" Jack asked confindent at first, then finishing with a concerned question
"Thens all we can do is try an figure it out captain." Gibbs said as he looked at the younger man. "We cant read it so.. best we can do is leave an try an find some one that CAN read it." Gibbs advised
"No. I've come this far, . Imortaility lies in this stone. Imortaility is what I want most..." Jack stated as he reached a hand towards the stone that instantly glowed a light blue, all the writing lighting up white, "an what Jack Sparrow wants most, he gets." Jack then laid his hand into the stone
Gibbs had a feelin the captian was gonna get what he wanted but at a price, he covered his eyes as the light got brighter
Hex watches curiously.. what was that? how was it doin that? he was very curious
As Jack rested the palm of his hand flat against the stone, a tingiling sensation engulfed his whole body, then all went dark, as the stone, flashed blindingly bright for a second, then all was dark again, Jack on the stone floor, out cold
"Captain! Jack! Answer me lad!" Gibbs shouted. Tey had lost their light in the mix of the confusein
Hex as a bit unnerved in the dark, though he stayed put. Dareing not move yet he stumble an fall
Though it seemed like forever, Jack was only passed out for a few minutes, before he came back around. "Huh? Wha-? What 'appened?" he asked in a confused tone
Gibbs had found their torch an relit it by the time Jack came round. "The stone got all bright on us an when it went out ya was on the floor." he said as he offered Jack an hand up
"Did it work?" Jack asked as he got to his feet a little to quickly as his vision spun. "Ey don' feel no different."
"I dunno captin, I cant say fer sure or not." Gibbs said, he wasnt bout to pull out a gun an shoot the man to test it out either
"We can shot him." Pintel suggested with a wide grin, as he pulled out his hand pistol
Jack however found no humor in it, as he staired the pirate down, then quickly pulled out his own pointing it right at Pintel. "Yes, lets try it shall we." he said with no humor
"Just kidding..." Pintel stated nervusly as he droped his gun
Gibbs he wouldnt have let pintel do it anyway. "Here." he offers his knife. "Cut ye hand an see if anythin happens." he suggested
"Mr. Gibbs, just because one is imortal doesn't mean one still cant die of a fatel wound. Just means I cant get old!" Jack shouted waving his hands for empohsis, as he then took the knife, an poped Gibbs over the head with the blunt end
Gibbs rubed at his head. "Well then our ideas of immortality aint the same." he said as he took the knife back an put it away. "Now what captain?"
That was a good question.. so if the captain was immortal then alright.. but what bout the rest of them? Hexxus thought as he watched an listened
"Dont know. It did..something. We know that. I still feel all tingally." Jack stated as he moved away from the stone, thinking maybe it was just his body going numb, an he needed to move around
Gibbs watched the captain as he walked round, not sure what the plan was now
"Mr. Gibbs! I think time we leave this place." Jack stated as the feeling went away, an he felt normal again
"I agree.. alright ye bunch of sea dogs back to the ship!" Gibbs shouted as he made way towards the exit
That was it? there was nothin else? hm, Hexxus thought
"That's it? What about the rest of us?" Pintel stated in an aggiatated tone, as he looked to Sparrow
Jack hearing him paused, then looked over his shoulder to the man, drawing out his gun. "Anythin' more ya'd like ta say?"
Gibbs: had been worried about this.. that their would be displeasure amungst the crew if there was nothin for them
Hex was a bit shocked at Jacks behavior, perhaps it was normal but since he only knew the man one week to him it was shockin
"No. That was it." Pintel stated with a nerves light chuckle, as he then guickly took the lead out.
"That's what I thought." Jack stated as he holstered his pistol once more, watching as Ragetti followed after Pintel
Hex looked at jack a moment, then at the stone before turnin to head out as well
Gibbs continued to worry as he headed out of hte cave as well
Being the last to leave, Jack looked to the stone once more, then followed after the others aswell, unawear that if he had been able to understand the writing on the stone, it would have stated that true imortaility doesn't mean living forever, but lies within children
Alright everyone that's the end of chapter 1. Let me know if ya want to read the rest of this, cause trust me, there is much more, my friend an I have done with the rp. I do not own Hexxus, that's all Iggy's doing :3
