Bring Me That Horizon Part 2

Chapter 3

I don't own Pirates, happy?

Back on the Black Pearl, Jack was with Caroline who lay on his bed with him. He grinned down at her, as he kissed her neck. She giggled as she snuggled closer to him. She let out a happy sigh, and he kissed his way down to her shoulder. "Caroline, ye do know how ta work that body." Jack teased her.

Caroline blushed as she turned to face him, running a hand down his chest then sighed happily. She kissed his lips then laid her head back onto the pillow. "Why don't ya go get us some more rum love? We're all out." She said as she pouted slightly.

Jack nodded his head, as he got up and pulled on some pants and a shirt, jacket as well and even his hat. "Don't go anywhere Caroline," Jack said. "I'll be right back."

She nodded as she blew him a kiss. "The faster ya get back, the less I have to run away."

"Right," He said as he caught the kiss and then he was out the door.

Jack closed the door before he went down to the seller, wanting to get some more rum for his Caroline. There's nothing, till he found one. He grinned and pulled it out, only to find it empty. "Why is the rum always gone?" He asked himself.

"Time's up, Jack."

He whipped around, and his eyes widen upon landing on the figure in the corner, nursing a bottle of what must be rum, he guessed. He held up his lantern up to find out who this person was to find that it was…., "Bootstrap. Bill Turner?"

Bill narrowed his eyes as he chuckled, it was forced. "You look good, Jack."

Jack slightly gulped. "Is this a dream?"

Bootstrap shifted. "No."

"I thought not….if it were, there'd be rum…and a naked Caroline…" Jack said as he smirked at the thought. He did have a naked Caroline…she was up in his cabin.

Bill chuckled as he cracked, before he held out the bottle he had been nursing. He looked around for a moment as Jack took the bottle. "You got the Pearl, I see."

Jack nodded his head, "I had some help retrieving the Pearl, by the way. Your son."

"William?" Bill asked surprised, "Ended up pirate after all."

Jack shifted, wanting to get back to his lass. "So what do I owe the honor of your—"

"He sent me." Bill said, "Davy Jones."

The other man nodded, "Ah." He said. "So it's you, then. He shanghaied you into service, eh?"

"I chose it." Bootstrap snapped. "I'm sorry for the part I played in the mutiny against you, Jack." A little crab escapes from his sleeve, he grabs it and eats it. "I stood up for ya. Everything went wrong after that. They strapped me to a cannon, I ended up on the bottom of the ocean, the weight of the water crushing down on me. Unable to move, unable to die, Jack, and I thought that even the tiniest hope of escaping this fate, I would take it. I would trade anything for it."

Jack eyed the crab that Bootstrap had just eaten. "It's funny what a man will do to forestall his final judgment."

Bootstrap rolled his eyes. "You made a deal with him too, Jack. He raised the Pearl from the depths for you, thirteen years you've been captain."

"Technically, I—"

"Jack. You won't be able to talk yourself out of this. The terms would apply to me; apply to you, as well. One soul, bound to crew a hundred years upon his ship." Bootstrap said as he got up, making Jack slightly back up.

"Yes, but the Flying Dutchman already has a Captain, so there's really—"

Bootstrap grabbed his hand, as his eyes narrow. "Then it's the Locker for you! Though this is terrible, the leviathan will find you and drag the Pearl back to the depths and you along with it."

Jack gulped as he stared at Bootstrap with wide eyes. "Any idea when Jones might release said terrible beastie?" He asked nervously. Did he have time to get Caroline to safety which meant Elizabeth? He hoped so.

He shook his head. "I already told you, time's up." Bill said as he did something to his hand. "It comes now. Drawn with ravenous hunger for the man what bears the black spot." Bill pulled away and then he left.

Jack opened his hand and gasped at the sight. It was the black spot! He looked around nervously before he rushed off to the crews' quarters. "On deck all hands! Make faster – gasket! On deck! Scurry! Scurry on! Move it! Move it! I want movement!" Jack ordered at his crew.

Caroline heard shouting, and came out in pants, jacket and a white shirt. She raised an eyebrow at Jack who was rushing around. What had gotten him so….edgy? When they shared each others' bodies, didn't that calm him down? What had happened?

"Jack!" Caroline called as she went over but he was mumbling something about getting to land. "Jack! What the hell?!"

He just rushed past her.
