Chapter 7

I laid over him, my head buried in his hair, still clutching onto his blood-soaked shirt. My body convulsed involuntarily, hot tears streaming from my eyes and dampening his dreadlocks. The world had seemed to come to an end and this was all that was left. The deafening sound of my sorrow blocked out the noise of cannons and the clanging of swords from above.

Suddenly I felt a firm hand on my shoulder. I raised my tear-tracked face to see Barbossa looking down at me. Even he wore the look of grief upon his face.

"The war is over", he informed me, "we won."

"Not really", I said, lowering my head, "we lost the greatest captain in the seven seas."

"Calypso," he said, "had a relationship with the captain while in her human form. And seeing as how she brought me back from death, maybe you could ask her a favor."

A new hope squeezed my heart. I picked up the bandana and tied it around my head. Then I stood.

"Please", I said, "how can I ask her?"

Barbossa led me onto the deck which was shockingly bright compared to the dimness of the captain's quarters. I felt sick and the world was spinning violently after all of the crying I had done.

"You can kneel here", Barbossa said as we approached the exact center of the deck.

I got down on my knees and looked up to the sky. I wrung my hands nervously and let out a deep sigh before beginning.

"Calypso, I come to you pleading for a favor. I ask that you please recognize the valor and courageousness of Captain Jack Sparrow. He meant so much to you and to all of us… I love him. We need our captain back", I begged, tears stinging in the corners of my eyes.

I lowered my head again, letting the tears fall. Then everything grew bright. I tried to see but the intense light blinded me. Then as suddenly as the light had appeared, it was gone. I looked around, nothing had changed…or so we thought. I got up and ran to the captain's quarters, pulling the door open and sprinting down the stairs. The rest of the crew followed me until I was at Jack's bedside.

I grabbed onto his hand, "Jack speak to me! Say something!"

Suddenly, his brow furrowed and he said: "But why is the rum gone?"

I screamed with delight and he opened his eyes. He sat up quickly and I wrapped my arms around him. The crew cheered and threw their hats in the limited space that they had.

"Jack! You're alive!" I cried as he returned the embrace.

"I must be", he said, "They didn't have anything as lovely as you where I just was."

I laughed joyfully and loosened my grip so I could look at him. As I looked into his eyes, I wondered what I would do if I could never see them again. This started new tears forming in my eyes, this time of happiness.

Jack smiled at me then softened his gaze. He leaned forward slowly and met my lips in a kiss. I clung onto him, the crew cheering once more. As we kissed, my fingers came across the bead I had tied into his hair, I knew that like the bead, our love was here to stay.
