This is a repost. I didn't notice I was missing chapter 5 lol.

Jack was watching all of this unfold from his little hidey space. He also took note of the fact that Elizabeth and Will were sneaking away. He motioned with his arms for them to come in his direction and they ran over to him trying not to make noises in the splashing water. "Are you both alright," Jack whispered when they were almost right on top of him.

"Yeah, yeah we're fine," Will said.

"Good, the longboat is over there and the Interceptor should be dead ahead."

"But what about you Jack," Elizabeth asked.

"Love I make a perfect distraction, wouldn't you say."

"Be careful," they both said at the same time before sprinting away.

Jack looked once more at their retreating forms before getting ready to move forward.

"Where'd they go," a random crew member shouted.

Barbossa's head whipped around and sure enough the children had disappeared. Everyone began to panic then.

"Did it work?"

"I don't feel no different."

"How do we tell?"

Barbossa just rolled his eyes, pulled out his pistol and shot the man. They all stared at him and the smoking hole on his shoulder as he continued standing and not dead.

"Well, well well."

Barbossa got another strange look in his eye as well as the rest of his crew. They knew that voice. Sure enough, out of the shadows walked the infamous Captain Jack sparrow.

"'Ello Hector."

Will and Elizabeth rowed as fast as humanly possible. Each of them looked back once or twice to see if there was something there or to hear any voices. When they finally arrived at the Interceptor, the crew seemed to have noticed they'd arrived. A line was thrown down and Will allowed Elizabeth to climb up first. To say the crew was shocked to see two children come aboard and not their Captain was a slight understatement.

"Mr. Turner? Miss. Swann?" Gibbs said coming forward. Gibbs, one night when they'd made a bit of a stop along the way home, had jumped ship. It was actually shortly after Will had arrived. This was the first they were seeing him since then and they had to pretend to be surprised.

"Mr. Gibbs, what are you doing here?" Elizabeth asked.

"Where be Jack?" another crew member asked.

Elizabeth was about to say that he fell behind when Will spoke up.

"He's still at the cave, we have to go and save him."

Elizabeth's head spun around to face him and she gave him a look. Will on the other hand in no way looked sheepish.

"Why don't the two of you go down and the adults will discuss this alone, alright?" Gibbs said leaning over them like they really were a couple of children.

Will and Elizabeth both raised an eyebrow and hand in hand they went down below.

"You're supposed to be dead," Pintel said to Jack.

"Been there, done that. Wasn't really my cup of tea. Now, if you'll excuse me," he said walking up to Barbossa.

"How the blazes did you get off that island?" Barbossa asked.

"When you marooned me on that godforsaken spit of land you forgot one very important thing mate," Jack said before pointing to himself. "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Well then I won't be makin' that mistake again. Gents, you all remember Captain Jack Sparrow. Shoot him."

Everyone excitedly got out their pistols and cutlasses and pointed them at the man.

Jack smirked because he was completely prepared for this. "I take it the girl's blood didn't work then, eh?" he said inspecting his fingernails.

Barbossa spun around and Jack almost fell down. "Hold fire," he said to his men.

All of them looked very disappointed.

"You know whose blood we need."

"I know whose blood ye need."

Will was tying a piece of cloth around Elizabeth's palm.

"You're very good at that you know," she said as he put a knot.

"Thank you. I had loads of practice on the Dutchman."

"Why, did people get hurt often," she asked.

Having not been aboard and Will hadn't told her much she was curious.

"Well, mostly for the new crewmembers who join the ship very shortly after their deaths. It's a very odd sort of thing actually since they're dead and all that. I just didn't want to get blood on the ship."

"Do you ever miss it?" she asked simply.

"You mean the Dutchman? Maybe a little I suppose. But to be with you in the here and now; that is something I'm going to cherish for the rest of my life," he said taking her hand.
