Enjoy my new story (but don't forget about the old ones)
"Captain, we're approaching another attack site."
The young man lifted his dark eyes to look at the speaker. The sailor noticed a change in their captain as of late. Something seemed to be troubling him.
"Thank you Thomas. Bring any survivors aboard and I'll be out in a few minutes."
"Yes Captain."
The man left and Will sighed. He ran his fingers through his hair, gave a loud sigh and looked down again at the maps before him. Jack had visited him a month ago and left them here with Will for reasons he couldn't understand. To Will, Jack seemed to have something on his mind as well. He'd long given up on the Pearl; he had lost it 2 years ago now. On his new ship, The Liberté, he came upon a man in the water face up and dead but with this map still clutched in his hand. Will could also still remember the talk with the other Captain as well...
"Come on Will, what've we got to lose."
"But Jack, you know I can't step on land yet."
With the wave of his hand, Jack knew it already. "Just take a look over them and if you want to come then you can."
"But I've got duties."
"This can wait for a bit. Trust me."
Jack and Will stood staring at each other for a few minutes. They could barely recognize each other anymore. Yet the trust was still there. Jack suddenly turned and was about to leave before Will grabbed his arm to hold him back.
"Could you do me a favor Jack?"
"What?"
"Could you visit Elizabeth for me?"
Jack sort of gave him a weird look before nodding. "Aye, I'll go do that now savvy."
"Thank you. And tell her I love her."
"Yeah, yeah..."
Will got up from his desk and went to see just who these new recruits would be. Only three were there. Each of them looking at this new man with worry and awe.
"Fear not gentlemen. I am Captain William Turner and welcome to the Flying Dutchman," he said with a slight smile.
Elizabeth Turner looked out the window of her home and sighed staring at the vast ocean.
"Mama."
She turned and saw her little boy coming her way with two little men made out of wood in each hand. He noticed right away that something seemed to be upsetting her.
"Was wrong?" he asked in that cute child-like voice.
"Nothing William. Come sit on Mommy's lap and we'll play."
The boy climbed into her arms and told her that one was 'Daddy' and the other was 'Unca Jack.'
"I'll be Daddy then," she said taking the one toy. They had a pretend sword fight with the little men and it was a grand time for both.
"Are we evah going to see Daddy?" little William asked.
"One day son, one day."
She put the boy to bed that night and went to her favorite night time spot; the beach. From there she could see all the stars in the sky. On deck, William Turner II saw the stars as well. They were all so beautiful and took his breath away.
"Captain, ship approachin'," the man in the crow's nest announced.
Will looked and squinted to see that it was in fact The Liberté. "Fear not, it's only Jack."
Their ships met up and Will went to welcome Jack on the Pearl by just appearing right behind him.
"Boo."
Jack almost jumped out of his boots but would never admit to it.
"What brings you by Jack?"
"I need a reason to visit now."
"How did you even know I was here?"
Jack looked a bit shifty eyed. "I guessed. Lizabeth and the little lad say hello."
Will wiped a tear away. He was subjecting his own child to what he went through. "Thank you," he said with a shaky voice.
"So...did you have a chance to look at the maps yet?"
"Yes and why the heck do I have them when they're yours?"
"Actually, you've got the copy and I've got the original. It says that they hold within them the key to the greatest and vastest treasure in the world."
"As exciting as that sounds I can't do it. I am Captain of the Flying Dutchman. I have to lead the dead to the great beyond. I can't just drop all that and go on an adventure when I can't even step on land."
"Davy Jones stood on land."
"He stood in place in buckets."
A shooting star suddenly caught their attention. When it faded from sight both men felt a bit odd. Before they knew it darkness over took them and they fainted.
Hope you liked it. Another chapter might be up sometime tomorrow.
