I Fear Love
I was in a meadow, sitting on the ground surrounded by green trees. The sky was ocean blue with the sun warming me. I could hear distant animal noises but I could see no animals.
"It's good to finally meet you." A sweet voice said behind me and I turned around to see an angel. At least that's what she should have been. She had long brown hair that was hanging loosely in an invisible wind. Her brown eyes had a happy glint to them. She was in a long flowing white gown. She was familiar but yet not.
"Who are you?" I asked standing up. She smiled at me and said.
"I'm an Elizabeth Turner." My blood went cold at those words, Will's wife, granted she's dead but still. I took a step back from her and my hand instinctively went to my sword, she laughed and said.
"There is no need for that Emily; I just want to talk to you. I've wanted to talk to you for a long time."
"How do you know my name?" I asked still scared, she again smiled and it made me feel more comfortable.
"I know a lot about you Emily James, in some ways more then you know yourself. Come let's sit." She walked over to a rock and sat on it, patting the rock next to her for me to sit on. I walked over to it wearily.
"What do you want to talk about?" I asked as I turned to face her, still drawn by her beauty.
"My husband Will Turner, I know you know him." I widened my eyes as I turned away from her.
"You're not going to kill me are you?" I asked quietly as Elizabeth laughed and shook her head no.
"Kill you?" I nodded weakly as her laughter finally subsided.
"Why on earth would I want to kill you?" I looked at her confused.
"Because I was the cause Will cheated on you, you do know about that right?" I asked concerned that she didn't know about it. She nodded and said.
"Yes I know and I am not angry." My eyes went doubled in size due to shock.
"You're not?" She shook her head no.
"Why should I? Will and I may have been married but we had no marriage. The only great thing out of our marriage was our son William. But he died not soon after Will had first met him. And when Will tried to console me seven years later I pushed him away, and I didn't see him again. I pushed him away, and I don't want you to do that to him."
"Push him away?" I asked confused.
"You are afraid to love him."
"So I've been told." I said thinking back to everyone that had told me that, it was actually a pretty good size list. Elizabeth laughed. We sat in silence for several moments before Elizabeth said.
"I have called you here to ask of a favor of you."
"Name it." I said looking into her eyes.
"Take care of him, love him. A lot of bad things have happened to him before, and I do not want him to lose someone he loves again. Will you promise me that?" She stared intently into my eyes as I nodded my head yes staring back at her. She smiled one last time and said.
"Good now go." And with that everything went dark.
"Emily wake up!" I opened my eyes to see Anamaria looking down at me, with a stern face.
"I'm up." I said as I sat up and stretched thinking about that dream. Was it real or not? I yawned and look to see Anamaria getting dressed quickly.
"What's going on?" I asked as I got out of my hammock. She rolled her eyes at me and said.
"We're leaving for inmortalidad now, and if you don't hurry up they leave without us." She yelled at me as I sprang into action. I quickly pulled on my favorite outfit. Navy pants with a matching vest and coat and a white t-shirt. I barley had time to put on my boots before Anamaria was shoving me out the door causing me to fall into the wall of the hallway. She grabbed my arm and dragged me up to the deck where everyone else was already standing and getting ready to go. The island wasn't to far off, but far enough. We would have to be going in sailboats because the shallow water was to shallow to hold the Pearl. I looked over at the Dutchman to see her crew getting ready as well. Jack walked over to me.
"Morning love, ready for immortality?" I laughed and nodded. I couldn't help but think that Jack was looking a tad bit worried.
"What's wrong?"
"Scouts say that on the other side of the island are the pirates from earlier." I groaned, I guess this wouldn't be easy.
"Well looks like we'll be having some fun as well." I said trying to lighten Jack's spirit, because Jack when not happy is very hard to see. He smiled at me before calling out orders. I suddenly felt an arm on my shoulder and I gently got jerked around to see Will smiling at me. I smiled back before saying.
"Morning Will, don't get too bored on the ship." I said teasingly, in away I felt bad for Will. He couldn't go for fear of stepping on land. But that wasn't stopping his crew who were going to protect the rest of us. He smiled back at me before rolling his eyes.
"I've got something for you." He said and I raised one of my eyebrows. He then pulled a small trinket out of his pockets and held it up in front of me. I gasped as I recognized it.
"Will it's my necklace." I said happily as he motioned for me to turn around. Once my back was to him I felt him put it over my head and then let it rest on my chest. My fingers went up to finger with the necklace as I turned around and smiled at him.
"Have you had it the entire time?" I asked as he nodded and smiled at me sheepishly.
"What took you so long?" I asked stepping closer to him.
"I was waiting for the opportune moment." I smiled and said.
"Why thank you, you've had no idea about how much I have missed it." And with that I threw my arms around him giving him a big hug. He returned it and we held each other for a good minute before I pulled away due to Jack yelling at me to get on the sail boat.
"I should probably go." I turned around only for Will to grab my arm and turn me back to him.
"Be careful ok?" I smirked at him and replied.
"When am I not careful?" I asked as he laughed. I walked over to the railing and down to the ladder as the boat was already in the water.
"Took you long enough darling." Jack huffed as I sat next to him. I only smiled cheekily at him as he rolled his eyes and started shouting out orders for the rowing. We soon reached the island, and right from the start there was a river that we had to follow. We went past trees and other plants. The island was defiantly creepy that's for sure. Every once in awhile we would hear a rustling of bushes and someone would fire a shot. There were five rowboats in all, three of the Pearl and two of the Dutchman. I was sitting next to Jack and Gibbs was on my other side so I had to listen to him bab on about some superstition of his, while Pintel and Ragetti listened closely. I had to suppress my laughter as they both started praying. Soon enough the river got narrower and the water shallower, and we landed in front of a cave. We sailed into the cave and docked the boats on the rocky shore of it. It was dark and we had to light several lamps to be able to see. There were five paths leading off to other places. Jack then yelled.
"Ok you scraggy dogs, we need to split up to find our treasure, and once you find it make some kind of noise for all of us to hear, and don't even think about hiding the treasure because if you do I will give you the worst death on the face of the earth. And also be careful we are not alone." And with that we all split up. In my group there was Anamaria, Jack, Gibbs, Cotton, Marty, Pintel Ragetti, Billy, Lenny, Nicholas who I still hated. And Mark, a new addition to the Dutchman. We walk into the middle path; we had to have several lamps to be able to see. We walked for what seemed like hours and in circles. Before we finally found another path to travel on.
"I think we're getting closer." Jack said happily, as we just walked past another group of pirates from the Pearl.
"Sure we are." Anamaria said sarcastically. Jack glared at her.
"You don't have to kill my mood you know, mood killer." He spat back at her. She grabbed his collar and pulled him to her so they were only inches apart.
"Want to be saying that again?" He quickly nodded no and she let go and he smirked at her.
"I like that side of you love."
"Hey remember when Emily did that to Nicholas?" Billy asked Lenny but I could hear them. I smiled thinking back to that.
"Yeah except she punched him." They both snickered at Nicholas who got all red in the face.
"It wasn't that good of a punch." He mumbled, I raised an eyebrow and said.
"Oh Nicholas?" He turned to me and before he could say anything I punched him clear in the face sending him flying back into the moist wall.
"Still think it's not a good punch; because if you do I'll just keep punching you to I know I have a decent punch. I mean I wouldn't want to embarrass my self by punching lousily." Everyone laughed as Billy hoisted Nicholas up who weakly said.
"No it's a good punch, don't do it again." I smirked and said.
"That's what I thought." I then walked off in front of him strutting just a little. I walked in head of the group and then I found my self in a small cavern with five other paths leading off in other directions.
"You've got to be kidding me." Anamaria said as she came up behind me. Before anyone could say anything there was a battle cry and we were ambushed by the pirates from earlier. I grabbed my sword and blocked a hit from someone. I then stabbed him and jumped over his fallen body to stab someone else in the back.
"We've got to split up!" Gibbs yelled as most everyone did, I went to the farthest right one as several men came after me. I stabbed one of them before running off. I had no lamp and neither did the one's following me so I had to hold on to the all to support me. I heard the men behind me as I kept running at a fast pace. Luckily I never tripped but I was close to once. It felt like the path was leading up higher and higher as I got more tired. Suddenly I saw a light coming from the end of the past, with a last sprint of energy I ran to it and almost fell off the cliff's edge. I looked down to see that we were about three stories up from a huge lake of sorts. I heard the men coming closer to me, and I looked back to see the outline of about ten men, I would never be able to take them on my own. I looked down again, the water looked deep enough. And as I first saw the man running towards me I jumped. I felt weightless as I fell, it seemed to take forever, but soon enough I felt the water surround me as I swam to the surface. The water was cool but not cold. Once I made it to the surface I took a big gulp of air and looked back at the cliff. I could see the men looking angrily down at me. They were pointing down at me and swearing in their native language. I looked around to see no shore to get swim to and get out of the water. Suddenly an arrow flew past my head as I looked up to see the men firing them down at me. Seeing no other choice I took a huge gulp before going under water. Arrows flew past me grazing my body as I swam deeper and farther away. Something then caught my eye; it was an underwater tunnel I swam to it as more arrows swarmed past me. I got in the tunnel and the arrows couldn't get me anymore, the water was dark making it hard to see in front of, but I kept on swimming. I swam for a few minutes before I felt like I was going to explode without oxygen soon. And as my vision started going fuzzy, I saw then end of the tunnel and I swam as fast as my weak body would let me. Things were going black as I reached the surface. I took a gulp of air and started treading water to keep afloat. Once I was sure that I had enough air I looked around, it seems like I was in a small pool. I swam over to one of its edges and grabbed onto a loose rope and pulled myself up till I was standing. I looked around; I was in a huge cavern with tons of those little pools, underwater tunnels. At the far back of the cavern I saw a pot about the height of me, it was black and there was something mysterious about it. I cautiously walked over to it looking in the other pools; there were several entrances at the far right. The pot was resting on a small stone hill and I climbed up it. As I neared it I looked into the pot to see water. But it didn't look like ordinary water; there was a glimmer to it, just a speck that gave it something more. And I realized that I was looking at immortality.
