The Sparrows: Dead man's Chest

Chapter 1

I lay here in this bed alone once again. That seems to be happening a lot now a days. My husband, Captain Jack Sparrow, was off on another hair brained scheme that he is refusing to tell anyone about, even myself, his faithful wife. We've been married for three years now and so far they've been the best years of my life. We've been almost everywhere. We've followed many tales of lost treasures. So far we've haven't been so lucky and the crew is starting to become irritated. On top of that, Jack lately has been acting really strange, I mean more then the normal strange for him. He's been distracted. He's been trying to hide something from me. He try's to pretend like nothings wrong but I can tell he's lying. I wish I just knew what it was, why can't he understand that he can come to me if there's a problem. That's what typical husbands and wives do talk to each other about it. But Jack and I aren't really like any other normal couple at all. There was a soft knock on the door.

"Nightstar Jack's back," Mr. Gibbs says from the other side of the door. I quickly pull my boots on and my coat and run out on deck. Jack stood in front of the crew holding up a piece a paper showing them what was on it.

"Okay please tell me you didn't go in there for that paper in your hand Jack," I said crossing my arms glaring at my husband. Jack turned around smiling

"No it's not just any piece of paper, love!" he walked closer to me so I can see

"It's a drawing of a key," I said I couldn't believe it that's what he wanted from that god foreskin place!

"Yes, and what do keys do?" he asked everyone
"unlock things," one of the men replied
"And what ever that key unlocks, inside there's something valuable," Mr. Gibbs said looking excited at the idea of shiny gold to be found

"No. We don't have the key, we can't open whatever it is we don't have that it unlocks. So, what purpose would be served in finding whatever need be unlocked, which we don't have, without first having found the key what unlocks it," Jack said very fast and slurred confusing all the crew and myself

"So we need the key?" I asked he stood there for a second staring at me

"You're not making any sense at all Love," he replied I rolled my eyes

"Whatever," I mumbled to myself I was getting annoyed with Jack. Why in the world would he need a picture of a key he doesn't even have? Why didn't he just go find the key? Better yet why even bother with going and getting the picture?

"Alright let's get going," Jack ordered the crew starting going to there station.

"Do we have a heading?" Marty asked him we all were silent waiting for his next order. Jack pulled out his compass

"Ah set sail for hummm," he grumbled Mr. Gibbs and I looked at each puzzled about our Captains odd behavior. I walked over to Jacks side watching the needle circle round and till it finally stopped. It pointed at me or my general direction. Jack looked up and as soon as he saw where or who it was pointing at he smirked. "Yes she is defiantly what I want right now but..," he looked around and said "That way you survey dogs," he pointing to the north. As the crew dashed around Jack grabbed my hand quickly leading us into our room. Once safely inside he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"Jack," I said wrapping my arms around his neck

"Yes love?" he asked looking concerned

"Why do you need the key?" he let go of me walked over to his desk and took a seat

"I need it for something," he replied pulling out a map he had been working on a few days before, he began his work once more charting cores on it.

"What's this something?" I stood behind his chair and started massaging his shoulders.

"Don't worry about it Rose," He said placed his hand over mine and gave it a quick squeeze then let go.

"Jack please, tell me what's going on! I'm your wife, remember death due us part? When I took that vow I promised to be that one person you can confide everything to. We swore to take each others burdens equally! You can trust me like I trust you," I begged "I love you so much. If I were to lose you I… I wouldn't know what to d- do," I choked out I could feel the hot tears stinging my eyes. I tried to blink them away but I had no luck. I let go of Jack's shoulder taking a few steps back. I turned around wiping the tears away with the back of my hand. I hated acting so weak in front of him; I'm a damn pirate for heavens sake but even the best pirates have there days. Jack got up wrapping his arms around me once more. I buried my face in his chest; I could smell like the salty sea and the sweetest of rums. He rubbed my back trying to get me to calm down.

"Rose I'm sorry, I can't believe I forgot what today is. It's the third year anniversary of your father's death. I'm sorry I feel so stupid leaving you here by yourself for two days. You had to deal with this alone; what a bloody good husband I am," he whispered to me. I chuckled a bit

"But I love you anyway you came back like you promised," I said looking up into his warm chocolate colors eyes.

"I love you too love. Each passing day I find myself falling more in love with you," he leaned down and kissed me sweetly he pulled away "I wish I could make it up to you some how," he explain

"I have an idea," I smiled evilly

"Oh really what's that?" he asked

"I'll show you," I whispered into his ear kissing his neck. He moaned then he kissed me. I deepened the kiss he pinned me up against a wall. I wrapped my legs around his waist and began to unbutton his shirt as he walked us over to our bed; I giggled as he lightly threw me onto it he closely followed me….
