Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Here's yet another fic from me. I'd like to thank Dodogrrl for the idea of the curse and Shani8 for betaing it and giving me the first paragraph. Here you go.

This story is dedicated to the ladies and gentlemen of HTR.

Looking down from her sky fortress she saw two certain mortals whose lives she could mess around with. After all, the last time she messed around with these very two mortals, she had regained her immortality, and had also gotten rid of Davy Jones and the havoc he wreaked upon her seas. So why not opt for a repeat performance? It was certainly tempting. And this time the result maybe even better! With a final black toothed smirk, she set up her plot.

"William, come over here would you?"

Jack Sparrow was annoyed with the former blacksmith, turned pirate, turned immortal sea Captain, back to pirate again and his wife the former Governor's daughter, turned pirate/executioner, elected Pirate King...and Jack believed there were some more things to be added but none came to mind at the moment. He didn't have any problems with their son though; he was fine with how he was.

Will finally arrived with a big grin on his face and his family by his side. "What is it Jack?" he asked.

"Well, if we want to arrive in Tortuga to find a crew in two days time then we have to get a move on savvy. Think you lot might like to lend a hand in that?"

"Alright Jack, you don't have to be so cranky about it," Elizabeth said. She grabbed her son's hand and pulled him to the side to teach him more about working on a ship.

Jack and Will worked quietly side by side for about ten minutes. The sea seemed a bit rough for such an overly calm morning.

Will looked over the side at the waves while making sure that everything was tied down. "This seems to have come out of nowhere," he muttered.

Jack didn't seem to hear him as he continued to steer the ship forward. Suddenly, a rather large gust of wind and a crackle of lightning struck the wood of the ship causing both Jack and Will to fall backwards.

"Will, Jack, you both alright?" Elizabeth from her spot where she was protecting her son from the wind.

"We're fine," Jack said.

"Yeah, don't worry about a thing," Will said standing a moment later.

"But you should be worrin'."

Everyone seemed to gasp at the same moment.

"Calypso," Will said reverently before dropping to one knee. Jack, Elizabeth and Liam followed suit after him.

"You may rise," she said now folding her arms.

"Why have you come 'ere?" Jack asked, standing.

"I have little someting I'd like to give the two o' ya," she said indicating Jack and Will.

The two of them stepped forward not knowing what the heck was going on. Will thought it had something to do with having been cursed for so long. Maybe she was going to put Jack in charge since she had yet to find a suitable replacement.

Jack on the other hand believed that Calypso might be giving them a little extra protection for their journey. Another jar of dirt perhaps.

Calypso seemed to reach inside of a purse and pulled out a strange, sand like substance. She blew into her palm and the sand hit Jack and Will at the same time. As they began to cough, Calypso vanished as though she wasn't even there to begin with taking her storm with her.

"Are you two alright?" Elizabeth asked while stepping forward.

They continued to cough and cough until something odd happened. Will and Jack each coughed up a strange ball of light (blue for Will, red for Jack). The colors seemed to dance mid air until the blue one struck Jack and the red struck Will causing them to collapse.

"Will," Elizabeth shouted. She was at her husband's side in a moment and Liam wasn't too far behind.

"Papa?"

Will's eyelids slowly fluttered open. "Wha' happened?" he asked with unfocused eyes.

"Calypso showed up and sprayed you and Jack with some kind of sand. Are you alright?" Elizabeth asked.

"I'm fine, I think," Will said slowly getting to his feet.

Elizabeth helped him to stand upright and they went over to check on Jack who was coming to as well.

"What in the world bloody well happened?" he asked, the customary slur missing from his voice.

"Remember, Calypso showed up. Are you alright mate?" Will asked before pulling a face. "Did I just say mate?"

"Are you absolutely sure you're alright?" Elizabeth asked him.

"Fine, I feel fine. Don't worry Elizabeth."

"If you're sure."

"I am."

"Well then come on Liam; let's go back to what we were doing." The two of them walked away leaving Jack and Will alone.

"Something doesn't feel right," Jack finally said.

"Aye, I feel it too," Will said.

The two of them looked at each other. Both of their answers surprised themselves and the other person.

"We'll keep this quiet for now," Will said.

Jack nodded in agreement. "Strictly between us, fine."

And that was only Ch. 1. Hope you enjoyed it. What's next you ask: Will has an urge and Jack is clean? Review please.
