Underneath the water everything was in slow motion. Legs flailing slowly. The few dead seemed to float as if they were angels in mid air. Everything was so slow so silent so overwhelmingly beautiful that Will couldnt breath.
Will broke the suface of the water with a sharp gasp. The sounds of shouts and calls of names swam through the air. "WILL!" Will whipped his head round to see Elizabeth splasing hurriedly towards him and throw her arms around his neck, holding on for dear life.
"WHERES JACK!" Will yelled into her ear his head whipping round in panic trying to rub the salty water that stung his eyes.
"I- I DONT KNOW WILL. WERE SO NEAR THE WAVES ARE GETTING CALMER DOWN THIS WAY! WE NEED TO SWIM WILL WE NEED TO GET TO LAND!"
Will went numb his heart in his ears thumping loudly. What about Jack? Where was he? Was he okay? Was he hurt? Dead?
Will felt Elizabeth pulling him along with her and the next thing he knew he was on the wooden of Shipwreck Cove. Spluttering and coughing Will got to his feet pulling Elizabeth with him who was breathing heavily. He looked out into the distance to see the remaining crew splashing their way towards the peir through the less heavy rain. Will and Elizabeth helped them as they climbed onto the wood sending them inside to tell the Pirate Court that had arrived what had happened. All the while Will stared vacantally out into the dark praying that his pirate would appear into the the light that the cove cast.
"He's unconcious! We need ta get him inside! I'll be in there soon" Will turned at the familliar voice. A man. A dark dreadlocked man.
Gibbs,Marty and two other men he asumed were from the man's crew nodded and carried an limp Cotton into the light and warmth.
The old man looked deathly pale. Which would have worried Will if he wasnt so consumed with the intense fear for a different man.
The dark man turned and his eyes met Will's. His eyes were a stern,feirce. His dreadlocked hair flew in the wind. The trinkets clanging together. He moved to stand infront of Will and Elizabeth.
"Who's missin?" he asked firmly.
"Only Barbossa and Jack now." Elizabeth answered The man's eyes widened in clear horror at the mention of Jack's name and the wind seemed to howl louder than ever.
"Jack." He said his eyes narrowing. "Neither of ye know where 'e is."
"You know him?" Will said quietly. The man scowled.
"I should, 'e my boy." Will however had no time to register his shock as a cry came from the distance.
"OI! HELP! HELP!" Will's head snapped around and he saw Barbossa the older man some how had managed to keep his hat on and was insantlay recongnisable. But Will's heart dropped as he came closer into veiw. It was clear he was dragging a man along with him.
And not just any man. But Jack who's sopping wet head was lifelessly limp. With out a second thought Will dove back into the water and paddled his way to the men. He took Jacks arm when he reached them and put it around his neck relived to have him back in his arms. Will, with Barbossa's help pulled his love to dry land handing him momentarialy to his father who lay him down carefully where he was shaded fron the rain.
"He has a serious head injury." Jack's father spoke is a gasp and Will kneeled next to Elizabeth staring at his pirate in extreme distress. His dad's hand brushed the blood stained red bandana and leaned down and listened to his chest. " He's not breathing..." Will's blood ran cold. No. No, he cant. He cant.
The older Sparrow placed his hands on his son's chest and he started pumping the whole while he stared at his sons face as if he could make him breath simply by looking hard enough. The small audience off Will, Elizabeth and Barbossa stared wide eyed in shock and fear. The older Sparrow carried on pumping more desperatley now.
No. He cant be. He cant!
"COME ON JACK PLEASE BREATHE FOR ME SON!" his dad punctuated it with a particullary harsh compression and his prayers were answered.
Jack coughed sharply. And sat up water coming out of his mouth. The audience gradually untensed all but Will. Jack then open his eyes and gazed at Will dreamily through half lidded beautiful eyes. He smiled tiredly. "Heaven."he croaked before falling back onto the decking and passing out. "We ave to get 'im inside to treat 'is 'ed." his father scooped him up into his arms before Will could get over the shock. He followed quickly weaving through the confusing corridors of different ships that made up the building. Finnally. They entered a candle lit room full of arguing pirates from every corner of the Earth. They gathered around a long dark wood table, the Pirate Lords being the seated ones. They became silent as they entered.
"Teauge what is happening?" came a strong African accent. But Teauge ignored him.
He gestured two old looking men one short and chubby with white hair, the other tall and thin with dark hair.
" With me now!" They nodded with 'yes Captain's and followed him past the court a comfy looking chair and up the the stair through the door near the end of the room. Silence as everbody took in what they had just saw of the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow.
Then chaos errupted as a roar of voices spoke at the same time. "WHAT HAS HAPPENDED TO SPARROW!" A shrill chinesee woman comanded.
"You! Boy." A smarmy drawling French man pointed at will daintily. "What iz appenind to ze Lord of ze Caribbean." Will stood silently feeling very dazed trying to think through the commotion.
There was a sudden two shots fired upward and Will jumped and slowly to see Barbossa looking down from the top of the table in fury.
"Can ye mangy men not contol ye selves fer more that two short minutes!" They all slowly took their origanal positions. "Now ye will all listen ta me.
Jaack Sparra was taken unda the waves o' the sea with a seirious ead injury and maybe some internal bleedin. It is possible tha e may never awake. And if e does tha e may be gone from is mind already. An as we cannot conviene this meetin without all nine of the Pirate Lords... I suggest we wait ta see if the last will join us."
"And what of the Pearl." A vicious man wearing a turban.
Will's eyes flashed dangerously. He thought maybe he was crushing the hand that Elizabeth had in his. "The Pearl." He growled.
"Will..." Elizabeth started.
"That amazing man is in there possibly dead and if not seriously ill all you can think of is the pearl!" he shouted dangerously.
"Master Turner.." Barbossa began. Will wrenched his hand out of Elizabeth's.
"NO! Dont tell me to calm down! Not only will a amazing giving kind man possibly die tonight but the whole of the pirate era will go with him! You can not deny gentlemen that half of the wars and battles that have been fought by us have been won due to Jack Sparrows incredible mind. There is no other like him out there and there will never be again. If he dies tonight then so will our era and we will all be either inmprisoned or hanged. And you have the the guts to sit there and asked what has happened to the DAMN BLACK PEARL! WE OWE THAT MAN EVERYTHING!HE GAVE US EVERYTHING" Will finished the speech breathing heavily and shaking.
He fell to his knees his head in his fell next him placing a soothing hand on his back and rubbing it. Will had to fight the urge to stiffen.
Eventually he lifted his head to look back at the room of shocked pirates. Some even looking ashamed.
"Look," Will swallowed "Once I am sure that Jack is ok. Then and only then will I investigate what happened to the Pearl. But in all honesty that is the very LEAST of our worries."
In his anger Will had not noticed Gibbs reenter the room.
"Captain Barbossa, Miss Elizabeth...Will." He said quietly and the whole room turned towards him. "It's Cotton."
Will stood slowly frowning.
"He's dead."
- COTTON! So will our Jack live eh? Will him and William finally found out that they love each other? And what about Elizabeth? What will Teauge think about his son's love? What does Barbossa know about Jack that Will doesnt?
I know bit depressing this chapter but ahh well.
Will broke the suface of the water with a sharp gasp. The sounds of shouts and calls of names swam through the air. "WILL!" Will whipped his head round to see Elizabeth splasing hurriedly towards him and throw her arms around his neck, holding on for dear life.
