Guests and other readers,

I know you probably got a bit angry at me because I didn't updated last wednesday, but I had some good reasons: 1, on the last week of school, I had 4 tests which included wed and thursday. 2, I had to go to the hospital on Wednesday as it's the only day I don't have any classes on the afternoon. 3, I've been updating my blog to be all set up with the right dates and subjects brand new. 4, I've been writing and working on a Sci-fi book on which a manga ilustrator, friend of mine, is collaborating too! 5, I ended up studying from the midnight to the morning... Hope you forgive me, but real life ducks even more when we've to get used to live 48h a day!

Pirates Of The Caribbean 6: The Death Sword Quest

PT 11: Savvy?

Time was slowing down right before capt. Jack sparrow's eyes. Althrough there was the river, a couple of feet under his boots, and it really looked the most pleasent place to land, away from the trees and hard ground, the Griffon mother was still out of control, and so Jack had to figure out the best way for both to end up alive. Surely, the fairies would punish him, if he would kill the "guardian of the skies"... beyond the punishment the Big one had already sentenced!

The mother cried in pain, trying to open her eyes and spread her wings... but she was still too dizzy and hurt from the collapse with Jack's body against her crane! She was getting out of route from the river. Jack could predict where they would land up if he didn't reacted immediately. Some series of branches would be there to smooth their landing, but it would end up being the most painful way to get back on earth... So captain Jack Sparrow hold her plumes tightly for once, and by all means, jumped and rolled over to sit on her torso, never leaving her features. Like a sky horse, he took the plumes on her neck, like reins, and pushed them back..

Jack: Up, up! Mutant chicken!- Pushing back the plumes until they would almost separate from the body.

The Mother Griffon cried ressonantely, and as a reflex, she spread her wings and leaned back from her neck to the full chest. That immediately slowed them down, and gave advantage to the rider, as now he could have more time to act. Slidding much soflty now, he turned her plumes to the West, and as a response she turned right, obdientely but still contesting.

All Angelica could think of, was the horrendous predictions she had pulled out from what she saw. The speed, the helpless creature drifting through the air without any sense of orientation... She had seen Jack jumping from higher places, and getting up without a single injury, but yet, never from a lower point of view...

Her heart seemed to beat over 140 times per minute. Her feet splashed like stones over the water. Her breath was out of rhythm in the most of the score... But she was not sure of the reasons that made her feel so exasperated... Maybe it was just fear, but truth is that on the last steps, all she could feel was shattered; as the memories from Jack saving her, came across her reconstruction of what happened when Jack fell. Thinking that on the night before, he almost gave it all away for not letting her fall, and on the other hand, when they were on a similar situation in the past, she almost gave it all away to make him think he would be saving her life if he would jump off...

In the end, he had been there to jump off before her for all of the needs.

"Such a... cobarde, Angélica!" She cursed herself as she realized it. "He's doing this for you! Has been on your side all along!" It almost felt like a smash, but her intention was to bit a lip to prevent any more undiserable thoughts from coming.

" I'd be a fool if I'd think on keep up this madness without you..." The voice seemed so far... but yet, still as though and deep as she would always recall it. But, worst, the words unspoken that she heard through that... and the thought that now she could be the one to keep up the madness without him...

A tear emerged on the corner of her left eye and immediately slid down her cheek, without giving her enough time to notice it didn't came out alone.

"Por Dios, no lo lleves!" she cried to God, knowing exactly how exasperated, feaful and shattered she was thus her heart felt like opening up and breaking through her chest with each breath she took.

The river slipped and burried the precious boots of the Captain Jack Sparrow while the waterproof features of the giant bird splashed over the water.

Jack: Steady...! -The water slowed their land and, in the end, Jack felt like riding a swan over a lake.- good birdie...! - He murmured while preparing to jump out of the creature. - Good birdie... - He repeated, and maybe because she didn't liked to be called "birdie" or because she thought him too rude during his ride... She decided to make a final statement, throwing him out of the torso and against the banks of the river.

When Jack fell backed down, arms wide opened, and gained counscious he was finally safe, on land, a huge and deep sigh left him as he breathed out so deep...

Hector, through the edge of the cliff, could see the river dashing the land 'til their port. So his wide opened eyes, didn't took to long to get back to normal and leave his soul relieaved.

Little william was still feeling his heart beating only attatched to a string. Only when Hector turned for him and his mom, he felt a bit more alive.

Will: Is he alright, uncle? - Willie seemed to float over the land while going to meet with his uncle Hector.

Hector: Aye. - He simply said to the kid who stopped and stood by his side and looked for Jack through the view over the top of the mountain. Hector bent down his eyes to the Egg, after a little while, and turned to william.- Lad, take this with you! - He put it on some younger hands. - I may break it on my way down, you'll be more carefull...- He composed his cane under his arm.

Will: Aye Sir! - He smiled to Hector on the most warming way and hurried to leave with the egg. Passing by Liz who seemed inexpressivly looking at Hector. - Let's get going mom.

Angelica: Jack!

The call came from the woods on his right. He knew the voice, stranged the tone, but knew it was close enough to don't require his effort to turn around. So he kept lying. Lying over the smoothest piece of land, washed by the fresh water sliding through the coast... Regaining energy and recomposing his breath... Calmly waiting for the need of getting up and away from there... When of a sudden it arrived.

Angelica: JACK!

He gasped, her voice seemed so high ... so desperate, dying of urgency! "oh-oh! Something most be really wrong! What's happening?!" He sit up, straight, looking around for Angelica, full of concern for that voice.

But when he noticed, she was landing on her knees by his side. Hands grabbing his shirt and pushing him on an embrace.

Jack: Wha-What is wrong luv?

He whispered, feeling his heart filling in with even more concern as she was acting even much strangely. For his despare, she didn't answered him. For a while he only felt her hands pushing him even closer to her, completly ignoring his personal space thing, and she kept pushing him although knew it was impossible to get him as close as already was, stucked to her.

Jack: Luv...?

He looked at her through her back. Not sure of what to do. Console her? Ney, Capt. Jack Sparrow was never a man of that kind... Pull her away? Ney, he wouldn't waste the chance to be so close to her... So what should he do with his hands? Better was not to use them. As so, the only way to call for her attention would be his voice. ..that she was already ignoring. Jack slid his mouth to aside. A last try?

Jack: Luv,luv,luv!- His tone was of urgency. - Me needs... - He took a deep but bitten breath and Angelica leaned back, freeing him. - Breath... - He sighed the word.

Angelica: I'm sorry... - She whispered.

Jack: No worries... - He ironically said. - Uuuu- Sighed again after taking a deep and free breath.

Angelica: 'Ya alright? - He lift up an eyebrow. "Should be asking you." he thought.

Jack: Aye! - He intended to stood and she immediately helped him up. - Despite, WET! - He complained. - I ALWAYS end up wet when you're around! - She handed him his hat and he recomposed himself, with as much decency as a all wet man could have, then started to walk back to where his orientation said the crews and fairies would be waiting for them, but noticed her hand helping him on his back. - I be fine, luv. Any doubts?

She might have pulled away, but he really felt intrigued by her atitutes. "What the bloody hell is going on Angelica?" he sighed in disapprovement "How am I suppose to ever savvy a woman?!"

Thursthing his words, she left he "on his own" and took the lead, away from his sight to think off that maybe she had exagerated, and just maybe he had noticed.

Sorry for the short and late chapter pales! But I promise you that I'll compensate that with the chapter 13 ;) HAhahaahaha( I'm already working on it, from this soon) You melt to know what will happen han?

Rates and Reviews, I wanna know what you think so far.

Thank you Mr. "Guest", for keeping so loyal to my story! =)

Story apart, I must say how grateful I am to have found the Jack Sparrow book collection, writen by Rob Kidd. Despite it's about a younger version of our mate " Capt. Jack Sparrow", it thought me a lot about his personality, that had always been unpredictable... Until I've found the point on which his character is based on. So I advise you to read it!

Good readings ;)
