Chapter Twelve
As the guard sat contently, carefully watching the solemn prisoners, Jack stared him down. Taking note of his every move, cough, sneeze, even blinking. He was preparing himself for his plan, making sure this guard wasn't cunning. He was making sure that he wouldn't have any chance of stopping them. And by what Jack saw, this guard had no chance on stopping his crew.
Then Jack gave the rest of his crew a signal they had made up earlier when their watcher was sound asleep.
As soon as the plan was in action Ana-Maria clutched her stomach, she let out wincing howls of pain as Gibbs and Elizabeth "comforted" her.
The guard's eyes darted toward the scene in the cell. He shifted uncomfortably in his chair, trying to block out the sounds coming from Ana-Maria.
Jack gave Gibbs a wink, and then Gibbs pronounced to all that could hear, "This woman needs help!" The guard looked worriedly at the cringing Ana-Maria, who was now laying on the ground with sweat trickling down her face. She stared at him intently; her eyes only told him one thing, "Help."
The guard couldn't stand for it any more; he reached for his keys with a quivering hand. "Don't tell anyone it was me." He commanded as the lock clicked and the iron door creaked open.
Jack got up, "Much appreciated," he took a side step to Ana-Maria, but at that precise moment the guard fell forward in the group of pirates with a thunk. Behind him was Barbossa, holding his black boot in one hand.
Jack's eyes were wide, "Not according to plan, but that will do," he shrugged his shoulders slightly, "Where did you come from?"
Barbossa twirled the boot in his hands, grinning wildly, "Well there happens to be something you don't know about me," he paused dramatically watching their straining faces, "I happen to be close friends with Captain PowPow."
"That's all? I was expecting something a little but more, complicated." Jack replied, "Well let's just get out of here, and fast."
"Men!" James Norrington shouted over his entire army, "Be officiate, we are getting close! One mishap could take off the trail entirely!"
"Sir, is this completely worth it? I mean we tried so hard, so many times, and he just slips through our fingers." Patrick retorted, after James got promoted, again, Patrick was assigned to assist him with little things. And so far the Commodore was becoming more of a pain everyday.
"Patrick, don't question me again. How many times do I have to tell you that, before you listen?" James hit the wheel in frustration then he added, "You just wait and see, we will get him this time, we just need to get to his weakest point."
Patrick perked up, "The girl, we can get the girl!"
"No, you fool! Sparrow will just get around us, his done it many other times." James pondered for a moment, going into a sort of trance. Then something broke his silence, "What is this?"
He stepped gradually away from the wheel, taking in the full view ahead of him. There was a small port of some sort on the right and then dead ahead of him was a ship, it almost seemed to be coming out of the sun.
"Patrick hand me my telescope." He commanded
"Yes, sir."
Patrick handed him the telescope, waiting anxiously for what came next.
In the telescope James saw a perfectly put together ship with a sail that seemed to be made out of the colors of the rainbow, then in a moment it just disappeared. Just like that. "What!?!?" James shouted.
"Where did it go?" Patrick asked, apparently he noticed it too.
"That was odd." James thought for a moment not understanding what he had just witnessed, "Straight ahead!" He finally shouted.
"Shhh…" Jack pressed his finger against his lips.
The restless crew was grinning with excitement behind him, at the moment they were down on all fours, crouching behind barrels. The adrenaline rushing through their veins was unbelievable, every single person could hear their frantic heart beats quickening every second.
"Sir." A crewman announced to Captain PowPow.
"Yes?" Captain PowPow responded.
The crewman drew in a long raspy breath, "We can't seem to find Sparrow."
There was a lengthy silence then an earsplitting bang sounded through the air, and a thud followed. Lana flinched, her ears ringing. She thought to herself, this must only be the beginning.
Footsteps leisurely faded away and then it was safe for the crew to crawl to safety.
"Move ahead." Jack whispered.
Bit by bit the crew creped along the edge of the barrels, placing their hands warily on the deck trying not to create a sound.
Lana concentrated on her feet and hands, lifting them of the deck gradually then returning them back to the splintered wood. It was becoming a natural and easy rhythm. Her body just moved along carrying itself across to the railing. She didn't even notice that she was behind, until she smacked her head on the railing itself and there was no one waiting for her. Lana peered at the water; bobbing heads were in the waves. No one even bothered to make sure she made it in the water with them.
Lana glanced toward the crew area, and then she slowly got off her knees. The water was so far down; she swallowed hard and closed her eyes tight. Once the wind caught her in the face, so did a hand.
Will paddled along trying to keep up to Jack, he seemed to be leading them to a port, that was just in view. He couldn't help but wonder if everyone made it off. He was pretty sure everyone did, but he still wanted to double check. He saw Jack, Elizabeth, Gibbs, Barbossa, Pintel, Ragetti, Barbossa, Anamaria, his father, and every other crew member. But he couldn't see Lana.
A knot tightened itself in Will's stomach; he searched the water franticly hoping to see a blonde bobbing head in the water, but no such luck. He whipped his head around where the Keepers ship would have been, but it wasn't there. It was empty ocean water. Then just seconds later there was a blood curdling shriek, that didn't come from anyone in the water.
The knot in his stomach constricted itself around his insides. He was the one who brought her here, he was the one who was responsible for her, but he didn't do his job. Instead he let her enter the jaws of danger. He swam faster then he was before, gaining ground on Jack. Will needed to get help, he needed to warn them.
Will didn't catch up to Jack until they were lying on the sands of a beach. His chest heaved as he lay on his back, gasping for air as did everyone else. After a moment on the sand to regain his strength, Will got up on his feet and stumbled over toward to where Jack was standing. He had his hand placed above his eyes, he was searching for something.
Will hated to interrupt his concentration, but matters called, "Jack?"
Jack snapped out of his trance and blinked once at Will, "Yes."
"Well we are missing Lana; she's back on the ship. When I looked back it was… gone." Will tried to explain this calmly, but his words rambled together.
Jack just nodded his head, staring at him with wide eyes, "Yes I am aware of her situation, but there's nothing I can do now. The Keepers are gone now, or so they want us to think." He went back to gaze at the water.
Will grew furious at Jack, of course he could do something to save Lana, he was Jack Sparrow damn it! He was about to retort, but was distracted by how distant Jack seemed from the world, all he was doing was peering out at the water. Something was different he was trying to concentrate on something, his body stood like stone. Will tried to follow Jack's gaze, which lead out to the horizon. Nothing special about the horizon, but a foggy shape began to form from the water.
They both had to break from their focus, when Ragetti was howling and pointing his shaky finger at an oncoming ship. From Will's experience with the Royal Navy, he would have to say that was one of them.
"Oh bugger, perfect timing Commodore. We don't even have a bloody ship!" Jack scampered off like a pouting child into a gathering of trees. When his body was engulfed in plants, he quickly poked his head out, "Are coming? We need to get our self a ship!" Then he vanished again.
SO???? What cha think? Do you think it's going somewhere??? I need to add some drama between people, to my next chapter, if you have any ideas please tell me. Thanks for reading!
