Chapter 7: No Choice

"I'm here against my better judgment because I have no other choice." - Dipper Pines

"And to think this is the place you wanted to go!" Sierra said to Meredith as she dodged a drunk pirate with a smile.

"Want and needed can be two very different things Sierra." Meredith said a little too cheerfully in Sierra's opinion.

"Well let me know if you need to go anywhere else because your judgment as a missionary is terrible." Sierra said while giving Meredith a pointed look.

"Who said it was my idea, all I'm doing if following God's will to help him lead pirates to the light." Meredith said returning the look.

"Sure okay, but let me ask you this could, you do it at any other place but here?" Sierra said knowing that Meredith would probably be the cause of their next near death experience, if they stay in Tortuga.

"Maybe, all I really know is I was lead to minister to pirates" Meredith said while thinking the question over.

Sierra smiled knowing her plan to get Meredith to stay on the ship was working.

After all what was the point of having another near death experience because of your missionary friend, without a little adventure, along with the chance to fulfilled her lifelong dream of being a pirate.

Beside as weird as it sound, Sierra had a feeling that despite Jacks dislike for Meredith, he wouldn't kill her.

He just didn't seem like the type to kill a women...even at times it would be tempting...

Leave them stranded on a deserted island, maybe, act as if he was going to kill one, definitely.

But Sierra still didn't think Jack would outright kill a women, mainly because he hadn't done it already.

If anything Sierra could tell the dishonest pirate was partly a man of his word, since he'd had released the prisoner like he had promised.

So Meredith was probably the safest she could be, with her career choice anyway, even on Jack's ship.

And if she wasn't, well they were always more resourceful in dangerous situations that other people caused, after all they had...

Before Sierra could think anymore, the oh so whiny (not that she wouldn't be in the same situation), yet handsome apprentice who went by the name of Will Turner, decided to throw his two cents in.

"Well I for one don't think any of us should be here right now." he said while looking around the infamous tavern of Tortuga.

Earning him a small glare from Meredith and a smirk from Sierra with that statement.

Sierra was smirking because even though Meredith didn't like Taverns very much, she wasn't about to let anyone really talk about her new life's work like that.

Sierra decided to tune out the next part of the conversation and opted to move onto a more pressing matter.

Seeing as Captain Jack sparrow and Mr. Gibbs, had chosen that moment to leave the tavern.

After waiting a few seconds Sierra followed after leaving a hopefully distracted Meredith in deep conversation with Will Turner.

"Now where could they be going?" Sierra thought following the two men from behind, Sierra was also surprised how much these so called pirates could be easily followed.

They didn't seem to be all in a hurry, but they did have a steady pace as they came to a kind of hut...homey...for a hermit that is.

"Welcome Captain Jack Sparrow." a darker skinned woman said.

Sierra stayed just out of sight from the trio choosing to stay in the shadows.

"You come seeking vengeance and a treasure lost to you." The woman said, coming to practically leaning on Jack in a seductive way.

"Ya, well, trying to find me map and all." Jack said, taking her hand off his shoulder with just his thumb and pointer finger as if he was touching something vile.

"You won't find what you seek Jack, but you will find something much more." The woman said in a cryptic type of voice.

"Will it involve money?" Jack asked, raising an eye.

"No, but much better." the woman grinned, thinking the whole situation funny for some reason.

"What's better than money?" Mr. Gibbs asked confused.

"Follow The Compass Jack." she said pointedly looking,

"And what compass are ye talking about" Jack ask suspiciously not knowing what compass she was referring to.

"You'll know it when you see it" she said in a cryptic tone.

As Jack and Mr. Gibbs turned to leave she said one last word of advice to them.

"Oh and Jack, don't let the person who can prevent your death deceive you."

And with that Jack and Mr. Gibbs left.

Sierra also turned to sneak away, but she could not escape the women's sharp all seeing eyes.

"Following Jack can lead to many dangers, but you seem to know that all too well now don't you?" The woman said, beckoning Sierra forward.

"Yes, I suppose?" Sierra said cautiously, coming to stand a few feet away from her as she rummaged through her jars.

Which looked kind of like the dirt from Jack's captain's quarters?

"Many more dangers you will face ahead, and much you shall lose." She continued, finally finding what she was looking for.

"The names Tia Dalma, we'll see more of each other before our days are done." Tia said, holding out a old Gold Compass not pointing North.

"Let me guess that's the compass you told Jack about". Sierra said, not really knowing why she was being giving such a strange compass.

"yes." she simply replied.

"Why didn't you just give it to Jack?" Sierra questioned, taking the offered compass.

"I like to see him squirm, it's quite funny to see him agitated, and Captain Jack will have much to learn." Tai spoke, grinning madly at some unspoken prophecy.

"Right." sierra drawled out, stuffing the compass in her pants pocket.

"But be warned, there would be great change to come and things will never be the same as when they began!" Sierra heard as she left, cold chills going up her spine.

Will Turner had just experienced his first official argument with a missionary and to say the least things couldn't have turned out more differently than what he expected.

Of course there had been much talk of God which is something he would have expected, but what he didn't expect form the conversation was, that she had to be the most stubborn girl he had ever meet.

Needless to say he'd would be staying clear of her more argumentative side for a while.

No wonder Sierra had skedaddled when he had started the argumentation, speaking of which.

"Now, where's Sierra?" Will asked Meredith.

Which caused Meredith to look around the tavern for the first time in a while.

She sighed then said "taking a guess, she followed Jack out"

"And where did Jack go?" Will asked

"How would I know, but we better go find her though." Meredith said while getting up.

"Well, we probably shouldn't be doing anything that should get us into trouble?' Will said causing Meredith to look at him.

"Let me spell it out for you, you're stuck on a land crawling with pirates, you don't have away off yet other than to work with Mr. Sparrow, the only person who cares enough to help keep you alive right now and she going to go find her very capable pirate like best friend to maybe prevent her from trouble. Now the question is Mr. Turner are you going to sit here and mope about who knows what, at this point or are you going to help me?"

Before Will can reply she's out the door her white dress flowing behind her.

Leave Will to say one thing "those girls will be the death of me" as he quickly rushes to catch Meredith.
