Chapter 5:- Jones' POV
The rain was lashing down on the surface of the ocean...me and my crew were under the surface, going towards a ship that had been wrecked by my little pet...the Kraken. However, when we got there, I wasn't expecting there to be a woman aboard. I walked up the ship, having emerged from the water, and met my first mate.
"Five men and one woman still alive, the rest have moved on" he said.
I walked past him and stopped at the most scared sailor there. I crouched down in front of him and lit my pipe before taking a drag and then speaking to the sailor.
"Do ye fear death? Do ye fear that dark abyss? All your deeds laid bare? All your sins punished?...I can offer you...an escape" I began.
Only to be interrupted by another sailor.
"Don't listen to him" he said.
I looked away from the sailor I was looking at and looked at the other sailor, who looked away, I saw the cross dangling from his hand. I got up and caught his throat in my claw, I took a drag of my pipe.
"Do ye not...fear death?" I asked him.
He looked at me and with a shaking voice said:
"I-I'll take my chances sir."
I let him go and looked to Greenbeard.
"To the depths" I said.
He chuckled and slit the sailor's throat. He and another one of my crew threw the man overboard. I then went back to the sailor that I was talking to earlier.
"I offer you a choice, join my crew, and postpone the judgement. 100 years before the mast...will ye serve?" I asked.
He looked up at me.
"I-I will serve" he said.
"There" I said.
I then walked up to the woman.
"Well, well. Look what we have here...a lost little lass. Why are ye here?" I asked.
I looked her up and down, she obviously wasn't from the ship, and by the looks of her clothing, she wasn't from this time either.
"I-I don't know sir...o-one minute I was falling from a rocky cliff face, a-and the next , I was here…I-I don't even know if I'm alive" she said.
I looked her over and sniggered.
"Oh…ye are alive…just. Tell me lass, do ye fear death?" I asked.
She looked up at me and nodded.
"Y-yes sir...I don't wanna die yet...I'm only 17 sir" she said.
I flashed her one of my evil smiles and stood up, I have no idea why I was about to do this…but…
"Join my crew...and ye can rid yerself of that fear" I said.
She nervously nodded at me.
"A-alright" she said.
I chuckled and stepped to the side.
"You are neither dead nor dying...what is you purpose here?" I asked.
He told me that Jack Sparrow sent him to settle his debt...and I went over to Sparrow's ship.
XXXXXPOTCXXXXX
"Oh" was all Sparrow said.
I gave him a glare.
"You have a debt to pay…you've been captain of The Black Pearl for thirteen years. That was our agreement" I said.
He gave me a startled look.
"Technically I was only captain for two years, before I was viciously mutinied upon" he said.
I wanted to laugh…I really did.
"Then you were a poor captain, but a captain none-the-less. Have you not introduced yourself all these years as Captain Jack Sparrow?" I asked him.
He walked up to me.
"You have my payment…one soul to serve aboard your ship, he's already over there" he said.
I looked down at him.
"One soul is not equal to another" I said.
He smiled.
"Ah, so we've established my proposal is sound in principal, now we're just haggling over price" he said.
I stopped.
"Price?" I asked.
Sparrow smiled even more at me.
"Just how many souls do you think my soul is worth?" He asked.
I thought about that for a minute.
"One Hundred souls…three days-uh" I said.
He grinned.
"You're a diamond mate, send me back the boy and I'll get started straight off" he said.
Maccus my first mate stopped him as he went to walk away.
"I keep the boy, a good faith payment…that leaves you only Ninety-nine more to go" I said.
Myself and my crew laughed.
"Have you not met Will Turner? He's noble, heroic, terrific soprano, worth at least four, maybe three and a half? And did I happen to mention…he's in love…with a girl. Due to be married…betrothed…dividing him from her and her from him will only be half as cruel as allowing them to join in holy matrimony…eh?" He asked.
I stopped and thought of my own lost love for a minute…bringing an ache to my empty chest…then I remembered…my chest was exactly that…empty.
"I keep the boy…ninety-nine souls. But I wonder Sparrow, can ye live with this? Can you condemn an innocent man, a friend, to a lifetime of servitude in your name, while you roam free?" I asked.
He thought for a minute.
"Yep…I'm good with it. Shall we seal it in blood er…ink?" He asked.
I grabbed his hand with my slimy one.
"Three days" I said.
I then went back to my own ship.
XXXXXPOTCXXXXX
The woman had come aboard my ship, I watched her as she looked around, then Turner came up behind her and gave her his jacket…I turned to walk into my cabin, when...
"Uh...C-captain Jones?" A voice asked.
I turned around to find the woman I'd brought aboard the ship. She shrank back at my piercing gaze and I smiled.
"What is it-uh?" I asked.
She took in a deep breath, and said something so fast, that I didn't hear it. I just looked at her, she then took in another deep breath.
"The chest is in danger" she said, slower this time.
My eyes widened.
"How do you know if the chest-uh?" I asked.
She looked at me.
"You'll never believe me" she said.
I stepped closer to her.
"Try me" I said.
She took a breath again and began her story.
XXXXXPOTCXXXXX
After she finished her story, there was one thing floating around my mind. She's crazy.
"Really now?" I asked.
She looked down and nodded, then Turner came up to us and put his hand over her mouth.
"Don't listen to her, she's crazy" he said.
No kidding.
She bit his hand and then looked at me.
"Jack Sparrow sent William Turner onto this ship to get the key to your chest. He wants it...but then again, so does this guy...whose name is Lord Cutler Beckett. He wants the heart to control you...therefore control the seas" she said.
I just stared at her, and then motioned her into my cabin.
"What does Sparrow want with the chest?" I asked.
"He wants the chest, so that he can make you forget the debt he owes you" she said.
I nodded. I still think she's crazy.
"You say you're from another dimension?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Yeah...all of you are played by actors...a-and if you don't believe me, I can tell you all the names of your crew, and I can tell you your history too" she said.
I put my clawed hand up and sat in my chair.
"Start with the crew" I said.
She won't be able to name them all.
"Maccus, Koleniko, Greenbeard, Driftwood, Hadras..." she began.
XXXXXPOTCXXXXX
"...Turtleman, Two head, Bootstrap Bill Turner, Urchin, Wheelback and Wyvern" she finished.
I was pretty sure that my face was set in a state of shock. She had named every single one of my crewmembers, and without hesitation or going wrong.
"Do you want me to tell you what I know about you...or is that proof enough?" She asked.
I returned to focus and looked her in the eye.
"You could be of some use to me" I said.
XXXXXPOTCXXXXX
"Five lashes'll remind you to stay on 'em" Bos'un said, lifting the cat-O'-nines above his head. Bootstrap caught his hand.
"No!" He shouted.
Bos'un looked at him.
"Impeding me in my duties...you'll share the punishment" he said.
"I'll take it all" Bootstrap said.
I came walking down the line.
"Will ye now...and what would prompt such an act of charity?" I asked.
The woman spoke.
"His son..." she said.
Myself and Bootstrap looked at her.
"He's his son" she said again.
I stepped between Will and Bootstrap and chuckled.
"What fortuitous circumstance be this...five lashes be owed I believe it is" I said.
Bos'un gave me the cat-O'-nines and I held it out to Bootstrap.
"No, no I won't" Bootstrap said.
"The cat's out of the bag Mister turner, your issue will feel its sting, be it by the Bos'un's hand, or your own" I said.
"No" Bootstrap said.
"BOS'UN!"
Bos'un reached out to take the cat-O'-nines.
"NO!" Bootstrap yelled, and took the whip.
Koleniko and Greenbeard ripped Will's shirt open...Bootstrap looked at him and then whipped him
XXXXXPOTCXXXXX
I walked into my cabin to see the woman led on the floor. I sat in the chair next to my bed and she got up off the floor and got onto my bed.
"What do you know of me?" I asked.
She sat up on the bed and looked at me.
"I know that you supposedly fell in love with the sea...but that's not true, you fell in love with a woman, who was as versatile and as wild as the sea...but she betrayed you, so you showed the first brethren court how to bind her in her bones. As a result, she charged you with a duty, you had to ferry souls who died at sea to the other side, and every ten years, you could go ashore and be with she who love you the most...however, when you did get to go ashore, your love wasn't there, and so you gave up on her, and continued to captain the Flying Dutchman, giving people the chance to join your crew, or be sent to your locker" she said.
I was completely caught off guard with that.
"How do you know of that?" I asked.
She looked down.
"Because, like I said, I come from another dimension...I've seen what happens...Will's only here for the key to the chest, because he wants to save Elizabeth...and by doing that, he needs to get the compass from Jack. But it's not only Jack who wants the chest...Lord Cutler Beckett wants it too, to control you and take over the world to wipe out all pirates...and I don't want that to happen...when I watched the movies..." she said.
Movies...what in the name of all things unholy are they?
"Movies?" I asked.
She looked at me.
"Moving pictures" she said.
I'm supposed to know what they are? Anyway, I went with it, I nodded.
"Anyway, when I watched the movies, you and your crew were my favourite characters" she said.
My non existent eyebrows rose up at the admission, but I didn't say anything. So...she likes me and my crew huh?
"Get some rest...tomorrow we go after the chest" I said.
She nodded and laid back down, I lay back in the chair...I was about to drift off when...
"Captain Jones...here, you can have your bed" the woman said.
She got up off of my bed and I shook my head...she lay back down on the bed and curled up. Tomorrow, not only will we be going after the chest, but I will be asking her what she knows of my crew. I really don't like having a woman aboard my ship, but she could actually be of some use to me...I guess she could stay, until I find the chest that is...and then she'll be going to the locker.
XXXXXPOTCXXXXX
A/N: Alright, just thought I'd do a chapter in Jones' POV, to clear up that Jones thinks Emily's crazy and doesn't like having her on the ship. So, I hope you like this chapter, and it will get back to Emily's POV in the next chapter :)
