Summary: At the end of the movie, Jack throws Will the coin with his blood on it. Will cuts his own hand, their blood mixes and a bond is formed. (Curse of the Black Pearl)
Prologue:
Jack barely felt the sharp pain as he sliced his palm, coating the cursed gold with his blood. He kept his eyes trained on Barbossa, the post-fight adrenaline still thundering through his veins.
He briefly tore his gaze away from his ex-first mate to lock eyes with Will who was standing next to the chest of Aztec gold, sword in hand, waiting. Hurriedly, he flung the blood-soaked coin in Will's direction, raised his pistol at Barbossa and fired.
The older pirate stumbled backward as the bullet tore through his body. Surprise glinted in Barbossa's eyes for a moment, but that was quickly replaced with amusement.
"Jack, ye been carryin' that pistol fer ten years," he said, "and now ye waste yer shot."
"No, he didn't."
Barbossa turned to see Will standing over the Chest of Cortez, the sword in his hand dripping with his own blood. He opened his fist, revealing his own cut palm, and dropped the two coins into the chest.
As Jack watched the gold fall from Will's hand, time seemed to slow down. He saw every turn of the coins as they made their short decent back to the chest they had come from. The blood from Will's palm splattered over both of them, mingling with Jack's own blood on the glistening gold surface.
A sudden wave of dizziness made his head spin, as chills shot down his spine. He shuddered, shaking his head, and then it was over. As quickly as it had come, the strange feeling vanished, leaving him to watch as his enemy of ten years died before him.
The curse must be lifted, he thought to himself.
