*Jacks POV*
That was close. Oh well nothing I havent nearly done before. But still. If it wasnt for Will I would be dead right now. It's not that death scares me, I'm a pirate - I cant afford to be scared of death. But I dont think I'd ever been that aware of it before. Before I could always fight it, run from it if needs be. But I was tied to it - so close.It was out of my control. I have a strange kind of respect for the boy now, he didn't have too do that, but he did. I always knew he was a sentimental fool, only had to look at what he went through to save that lass of his to know that. But I didnt think it was possible to be sentimental about me, I'm not exactly that kind of guy am I now? nobody's ever risked their life for me before - well not willingly. He probably does'nt realise what he's done, see - now I'm free. Alright most of the British Navy will most likely be chasing me tommorow, but that doesnt matter. They cant get me in the ocean, because I' ve spent most of my life on the ocean, I know her as she knows me. In one way or another she always saves me. Of course I have friends - I suppose Will is one of them now, but none of them - no matter how close they have been *grins at the thought of anamaria*, none of them knows me like she does. All those years ago I fell in love with these chrystalline azure waves and I chose them over anything else. It's where I belong, It's home.
Contrary to popular belief I'm not an idiot, everybody assumes to be clever you have to have read books and studied and all that, well if they're right then I probably am an idiot. But I think bein' clever's about knowing things - no matter what things you know, as long as you know them. I know boats, I know the sea. Any man who has a boat has freedom. Freedom that is my Pearl, the pearl that makes me Captian Jack Sparrow. Because that's what a boat is, freedom. Norrington doesnt see this, I think he's lookin' too hard. In order to see it you have to feel it and I'm not sure Norrington feels anythin'. Will does, back there he had to pick between that freedom and love. By the looks of things he picked love, sometimes I wish I'd had the guts to do that. Maybe I really am a coward, but I'll nevver be a lonely coward - as long as I have those waves and that horizon. Because I know death is chasing me, always snapping at my heels. I'm no fool and I know that one day my luck will run out and death'll be one step ahead, waiting for me. Then however much I love the sea she wont be able to save me. I know that. So I make the most of the time I have. I live on the edge because living any other way would be a waste of life, and finally when death takes me I'll know that people will remember me. I hope that the sea will remember me. I'm not the best pirate that ever lived, but that's not what matters to her. The sea sees us all as we truly are, and when I look out over her silky expances of midnight blue - I see that for that moment at least I am king and she is my queen. Nobody is there to argue my rule, it's just me an' her. Wherever she takes me is the only place I want to be.
