Silent Sparrow By: Rika Kisuktai
Fourteen!!!
I own Jaquline.
I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean. That belongs to Disney.
Dig in!
I want to thank Phoenix Sparrow for helping me with this chapter. Without you, this chapter would be very funky, due to the fact that I've only seen the 3rd movie once and my memory is terrible.
They had ben sailing for two days. They had sailed past a frozen sea, and through eerily still waters that reflected the stars perfectly. Mist had appeared a few hours earlier.
Jaquline pocketed Barbossa's leather bound notebook and climbed down the mast.
"Nice to see ye out of the crow's nest. Ye could've died and we wouldn't have known." Barbossa said as she walked up to him.
"Yeah, wouldn't you like that? I only came down to ask you a question."
"What?"
"Do you know who my mother is?"
"…No."
"No: you don't know, or no: you're not going to tell me?"
"It's not me place to tell ye about yer parents Sparrow."
"So you do know."
"I didn't say that."
"Oh but you did.You would have to know to tell me, and by saying that you weren't going to tell, you just addmitted you knew." Jaquline said smugly. Barbossa frowned.
"You are too smart for your own good child." He growled.
"I know." She replied, walking over to the front of the ship, stareing out over to the horizon.
She frowned as she noticed that the horizon was getting closer, and she heard the sound of rushing water.
"Barbossa!" She shouted and ran up to him.
"Aye, we're good and lost now." He said, more to himself than Jaquline.
" 'Lost'?" She repeated.
"For certain, you have to be lost to find a place that cannot be found. Elseways, everyone would know where it was."
Jaquline wanted to smack that smile off his face, but then realized what he was saying.
They were almost there.
"We're gaining speed!" Gibbs shouted below.
"Aye." Barbossa said with a smile.
"Stations! Turn her portways!" Will shouted, not realizing.
"Nay! Let her run straight and true!" Barbossa yelled.
The whole crew, with the exception of Barbossa and Jaquline, rushed to the side of the ship and saw what Barbossa was talling them to stay still for.
A huge waterfall filled the horizon.
And they were sailing straight toward it.
"Are you MAD?!?!" Elizabeth shouted.
Barbossa simply laughed loudly as the ship sailed over the edge of the waterfall, being swallowed by the mist of waters below.
AND THEY ALL DIED! THE END!!………………………Just Kidding.
Captain Jack was rumaging in his Captain's cabin.
"When I find the thieving crew member that took the peanut…I was saving that nut! IT WAS SPECIAL!" He mumbled to himself.
He stepped outside and quickly found the theif.
He pulled out his pistol and shot the crew member just as he was putting the peanut to his mouth.
He blew the smoke off of the end of the pistol, and reached over and grabbed the peanut.
"My peanut." He said, eating the special peanut.
He looked around, and decided that things were too still.
"All of you, slag the braces!" He yelled.
"Aye Captain! Slag the braces!" One of the "Jack"s hanging in the rigging yelled to the rest of the crew.
The rest of the crew complied, scurrying about, trying to stay on his good side.
Captain Jack walked over to a crew member tying a cannon in place.
"Mr. Sparrow."
"Aye Captain?" He said, looking up.
Some crew members gathered behind Captain Jack, hopeing to see some action. It was fun watching their Captain kill crew members for stupid reasons, as long as it wasn't you he was killing.
"What say you about the condition of this line?"
"It be proper in my eyes sir." "Jack" said nervously.
"Proper?" Captain Jack asked, walking right up to him.
"It's neither proper nor suitable, so it is not acceptable, nor adequate, it is an obvous fact an abomination." Captain Jack said angrily.
"Begging your pardon sir. Perhaps if you gave a man another chance…"
"Shall I?" Captain Jack cut him off. He pulled out his sword and stabbed "Jack" in the chest.
He leaned close to his ear.
"That kind of thinking got us into this mess." He whispered.
"Jack" fell to the ground.
"We have lost speed, therefore time. Presious time. Which cannot be recovered once lost. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
A chorus of "Aye Captain!"s sounded.
"Really?" Captain Jack asked, putting back his sword.
"It will all have to be redone. ALL OF IT. Let this here as a lesson to the lot of you. I have no sympathy for you maggots and no more patience to pretend otherwise."
Captain Jack hopped up on the railing and grabbed a rope.
"Gentlemen, I wash my hands of this weirdness." He said, swinging down to the stone floor.
Jack put his finger in his mouth, and held it up to find the direction of the wind, if there was any.
"No wind…Corse there's no bloody wind!" He said, walking away from the ship, talking to himself.
Something caught the corner of his eye, and he turned his full attention to it.
It was a rock.
He picked it up and looked at it for a bit.
Then he tossed it in some random direction, walking back to the ship.
"Nonono, why? Why would he do that? Because he's a lumoux isn't he? Well, we shall have a magnificant garden party and you're not invited. Hee hee." He started talking nonsense.
He heard a tiny skitter behind him and he slowly turned around.
It was the rock.
Again.
Jack waved his hands at it.
"Shoo." He said.
It didn't move.
He picked it up carefully and stared at it.
"A rock." He said, as if to confirm it.
But is it really just a rock?
He considered the thought.
Jack licked it, and shuddered.
Yes, it was a reagular rock.
He backed up and threw it as hard as he could.
"Now we're being followed by rocks…Never had that before." He said to himself, turning back toward the Black Pearl.
15 minutes later…
The crew washed up onshore of what could only be Davy Jones Locker.
"Is everyone here?" Barbossa called, the first to stand up.
"Yes, we're all here. We're all soaking wet, but here." Jaquline called, a lot further down the beach than the rest of them.
"Good. Now we just need to search the entire Locker for Jack…"
"Dere's no need. He'll be here in just a moment." Tia Dalma said, picking up a small gray crab that looked like a rock.
Everyone gathered around her.
"What do you mean?" Elizabeth asked.
Suddenly, a large ship burst over the sand dune behind them and slid into the sea.
Jack hopped off of the Black Pearl, and waded toward the beach, a large smile plastered on his face.
"Well! If it isn't me crew! Gibbs, Will, Elizabeth, Marty, Cotton, Cotton's Parrot, and ummm…you two guys!" He cried. "Did the Kraken catch up with you? Or did something else get you? Something horrible I hope…"
"He thinks we're dead." Gibbs said.
"Of corse you're dead! Why else would you be here in the Locker?" Jack replied, still smiling.
"Jack, it's really us. We came to rescue you." Will said.
" 'Rescue'. Hah! Why would you come and rescue me?"
"Jack, they're telling the truth." Barbossa spoke up.
"Barbossa! You look good! What's it been? A week?"
"Try four months Jack."
"Really? It doesn't seem that long…" Jack pondered.
Then he shrugged, and started to walk down the beach, inspecting the remains of the Chinese Junk ship that Barbossa and the others sailed over in.
"Jack! The world needs you back something fierce!" Gibbs sad, following him.
"Cutler Beckett has the heart of Davy Jones, he controls the Flying Dutchman." Will said.
"He's taking over the sea!" Eilzabeth said, a little panicy.
"The song has already been sung! The brethren court is called!" Tia Dalma informed.
"I leave you people alone for just a minute and look what happens, everything's gone to pot!" Jack said, waving his hands about.
"Jack, ye have to sail back with us." Barbossa shouted.
Jack stopped, and turned around.
"Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you tried to kill me in the past. One of you succeded." He shouted back, looking at Elizabeth.
Everyone looked at her, and her mouth opened in a vain attempt to protest.
"Oh! She hasn't told you? Then you'll have loads to talk about while you're here." He smiled, turning back around.
"If you won't sail with any of them,"
Jack stopped abrubtly.
He turned around to see Jaquline elbowing her way past Pintel and Ragetti.
"Will you sail back with me?" She asked.
"Jaquline?" Jack whispered.
His daughter nodded, and ran up to him, pulling him into a tight embrace.
"Oh, Jaquie, I've been worried about you. I've thought about you everyday I've bee.."
SMACK!
"Ey! What was that for?!" Jack asked, holding his cheek.
"You missed your monthly visit." She said with a smile.
"That doesn't give you permission ta slap your father!"
"When I was 10, you gave me permission to slap you if you ever missed a visit."
"Oh." Jack stood up.
"Alright. Who to take with back to the land of the living?" He said, walking over to the group.
"Not you three," He said, pointing to Barbossa, Will and Elizabeth.
"Come now Jack. Don't tell me you didn't enjoy me fury at de time." She said, smiling.
"Alright you're in."
He started to walk down the line of his old crew, Jaquline following close behind.
"Not you. You scare me." He said to Ragetti.
He walked right past Pintel.
"Gibbs, Marty, Cotton. Cotton's Parrot, I'm a little iffy…but at least I'll have someone to talk to."
He stopped in front of the crew that the others picked up in Singapore.
"Who are you?"
"Tai Huang. These are my men." He said, gestureing to the men behind him.
"Where do your alligences lie?"
"With the highest bidder."
"I have a ship." Jack said, pointing to the Black Pearl.
"That makes you the highest bidder."
"Smart man." Jack nodded his approval.
"Weigh anchor! Prepare to make sail!" Jack shouted, takeing out his compass.
The compass was spinning in circles, not pointing to a specific direction.
"Oh Jack," Barbossa called.
Jack turned around, and saw Barbossa holding charts.
"Which way ya goin' Jack?" He smiled, Jack the monkey chattering away under his hat.
Finally! Jack is back with his daughter! Everyone on 3!
1…2…3!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
