to everyone who was curious about the song in the last chapter, it was Nothing I have Ever Known by Bryan Adams
Joanna and Barbossa were sound asleep after another round of love-making. Barbossa slept with his arm around Joanna. Her arm was wrapped around his. Sunlight shone outside from the swamp and flooded the room in Tia Dalma's shack. Joanna's eyes fluttered open as she woke. She looked around the room wondering where she was. She felt Barbossa's arm wrapped around her body and smiled as she remembered her and Barbossa's charade of love the night before. Joanna gently ran her hand along his arm and kissed his hand. She tried to get up and stretch her legs, but Barbossa tightened his grip around her and pulled her closer to him.
"Where do ya think yer going?" he asked and kissed her.
Barbossa had never been more happier. He and Joanna were finally together again and abled to feel. Joanna smiled and laid back down with Barbossa.
"Nowhere, Hector", she said.
Barbossa gently brushed stray strands of hair away from her face. She rested her head against his chest.
"I love you...so much, Hector."
They heard a knock against the wall.
Joanna quickly covered herself with the blanket as Tia Dalma came into the room.
"Barbossa", she said. "Can you and Miss Flames get dressed? We have urgent matters to discuss."
"Aye", Barbossa sighed. "We'll be out in a minute."
"What's this urgent matters we need to discuss?" Joanna asked.
"Jack Sparrow", Tia Dalma said. "Him be in Davy Jones locker."
"Finally!"
Barbossa chuckled at her comment.
"We must get him back from the locker if you are to free me."
Barbossa thought about it. There was no way he wanted to rescue the man who killed him in the first place.
"'nd if I don't?" he asked.
Tia Dalma placed her hand on Joanna's head. Joanna gasped for air as her face turned skeletal. He could see her bones through her paper-thin skin.
"No!" he said.
Tia Dalma pulled her hand away. Joanna collapsed in Barbossa's arm as her face returned to normal.
"We'll do it", he said as he pulled her close.
"Good."
Tia Dalma went downstairs where they heard people talking.
"Ya be okay?" Barbossa asked.
"I don't know", Joanna said. "It felt like I was dying."
"It'll be okay. I won't let her do that again. Just stay by my side."
"If you go and brave the weird and haunted shores at world's end", Tia Dalma said. "Then you will need a captain who knows those waters."
Barbossa wrapped his arm around Joanna's waisted. Together they stepped down the stairs and found themselves surrounded by Will, Elizabeth, Ragetti, Pintel, Gibbs, Cotton and Marty.
"So tell me...what's become of my ship?"
"You?" Joanna and Elizabeth screamed at each other. "What are you doing here?"
"I came here for help", Elizabeth said. "We're going to get Jack."
"Apparently so will Hector and I", Joanna said rolling her eyes. "Don't think I haven't forgotten what you've done to us. I'll be watching you...very closely."
"The same with you."
"Now, now, girls", Barbossa said. "Not ta worry, Joanna. Nuthin will happen ta us."
"I'll make sure of it", she said putting her hands on her hips.
Will stepped next to Elizabeth and pulled her close to him. Barbossa did the same with Joanna.
