Did I mention yet that English is not my first language? Well, it isn't!

Two weeks. Two bloody weeks! It had taken two weeks to get The Black Pearl back!
It had taken the famous Captain Jack Sparrow and Gibbs two whole weeks to get the Pearl out of that little bottle... It had taken longer than they had expected... They'd used a lot of their time finding Gibbs his man with the goat and then another who could play the trumpet, but in the end it hadn't been the solution to get it out... Jack had been misinformed and they had to start all over again...
Eventually, The Black Pearl could be released. Neither of the man could remember exactly how they finally got it out... Weird sorcery and magic... The mysteries of the seven seas...
Anyway, it hadn't been easy! Not for The Black Pearl nor for Captain Jack Sparrow. Without the help of Jack's compass, it had been rather difficult... Gibbs had been asking him every day for the compass, he'd thought the compass would help them and normally it would have done... Jack had ignored him or wouldn't answer his question at all, because Jack knew that this time the compass wouldn't work... It would always point to the same thing...
It still did point to that bloody island! Much to Jack Sparrow's dismay...
He tried to keep telling himself that the compass just pointed to the island because of that VooDoo-doll and definitely not because of Angelica, but he was starting to get worried... If he was honest, Jack was really worried! In the two weeks while they had been searching for The Black Pearl the Captain had tried to ignore the pains and struggles that were probably caused by that little VooDoo-doll, but after a while it'd became less... When Jack felt something like an invisible person pulling his hair or poking his sides, the pain was not as strong as the first ones and the attacks weren't as frequent as in the beginning... The attacks were getting weaker...
Angelica was getting weaker...
Once again, Jack Sparrow's mind was filled with thoughts on the Spanish beauty... His Spanish beauty! It was almost as if Jack wanted to feel pain, just one little poke! A sign that she was alive! She had to be alive, she was Angelica Teach! She knew how to survive, but this time it seemed like she was just getting weaker and weaker...
Jack stood on the deck of his beloved ship, he finally got his Pearl back! Still, it didn't feel right... If something had happened to Angelica because he had ignored her first teases with his VooDoo-doll to find The Black Pearl, he would never forgive himself...
Then why did he maroon her there in the first place?! Jack sighed. He hated his stirrings! He was worried!
''What now, Capt'n? Tortuga?!'' Gibbs asked eagerly.
Captain Sparrow didn't even need to look where the compass would point to, it wouldn't be to Tortuga or rum... Angelica.
''Come on, Jack!'' Gibbs tried to reach for the compass.
''Damn you!'' Jack reluctantly opened the thing that showed what you wanted most...
''That's our heading, Capt'n?'' it didn't seem like the way to Tortuga...
''Yes!'' ''Get to work, you dogs!'' Jack barked.
The crew began running around the ship, setting off in the right direction. Jack just kept staring at the ocean,thinking...
The island... Angelica... Damn these stirrings!
The island came in view, a little spot... Just like when he had rowed away, that little spot had disappeared from view just like it was now reappearing...
Captain Sparrow looked at his compass one more time, pointing straight ahead... He shut it and sighed. He needed to do this! He went below deck, searching for food and water. Just anything there was... He got the supplies back up and dropped them in a longboat.
''Stop! Stop!'' The Black Pearl let down it's anchor.
''Jack! What on earth are you doing?!'' ''You didn't put rum in there, didya?!'' Gibbs was concerned.
''This isn't Tortuga, is'it?!'' Scrum asked at the same time.
''No...'' their Captain growled.
''Wait here, I'll be back!'' Jack jumped into the longboat.
Gibbs looked at his Captain and good friend. There was something wrong with him... Jack looked pensive... He didn't seem like himself... What was wrong?!
''Scrum! Lower the longboat!'' Captain Sparrow ordered.
''Aye!'' Scrum quickly let the boat down.
Jack started to row back the same way as he had done two weeks ago...
Stupid. Stupid stirrings. Stupid feelings. Stupid Women. He was a pirate! He was Captain Jack Sparrow! He couldn't believe he was actually doing this!
He was approaching the island. Jack squinted his eyes, trying to see if she was still there... She might as well had found a big ship to rescue her and had left the VooDoo-doll there or had decided not to use it anymore! He would be out here all for nothing with all his water and food!
No, she wasn't like... Jack knew better... She would never let him get away with this that easily...
As the longboat hit the sand, he was now close enough and he saw a body draped on the sand under a tree... She was still there! The compass would always point in the right direction...
''Angelica?'' no response...
''Angelica?'' Jack slowly got closer.
The last time she had tried to hit him and shoot him, maybe this was a trick as well? He wasn't going to take any risks, but she didn't do anything... Nothing... She just lay there.
Except for his stirring and the worry when he looked at her, there was another feeling inside of Jack... Guilt. There's was no sign on the island that indicated that she had tried to draw the attention of a big ship to rescue her... She had trusted him to come and save her! She had trusted! Always...
She had trusted him the last time before he'd left her, trusted him by the fountain to save her father, trusted him before he marooned her here... She'd always trust him and he'd always let her down... The VooDoo-doll had been her way of telling him to rescue her and he had just ignored it to find the Pearl... He'd let her down again! He felt guilty!
Once again, worry filled the Captain's mind. Was she just sleeping? Was she even still breathing?! He quickly crouched beside her and moved some hair out of her face. She looked exhausted! Except for her natural Spanish beauty, she didn't look good at all...
He placed a hand against her cheek, but she didn't even move! Angelica was too weak! The little Jack doll lay next to her... He quickly snatched it away and put it away. Even though Angelica couldn't hurt him with it right now, it was better for him to have that doll thing...
Jack gently picked Angelica up and held her in his strong arms as he walked back to the longboat. Angelica stirred in his arms and whimpered a bit. Captain Jack Sparrow looked down at her, she was breathing shallow...He held her even tighter to his chest.
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go

Decided that I liked the lyrics thing from the previous chapter, so put some in here as well...
It fit the chapter...
Lyrics from: Far Away - Nickelback
Got the Nickelback song from a 'Sparrangelica' fanvideo on Youtube, because I was watching all sorts of Jack/Angelica videos...
My favourite is: ''Always have... Always will...'' Jack/Angelica
