"I will begin with Jack Sparrow answering questions about Alicia Sanderson. I had always thought that I would be standing here with Davy Jones and Calypso but that is not the case…" said Baset sadly. Jack stepped forward.
"Good luck Captain," whispered Alicia nervously. Jack pressed his hands together and did a small bow as a sign of gratitude for her support.
Suddenly Baset waved her hands as if she was swiping a sword. There was a choking noise from behind her. Alicia had her hands clasped around her neck. She was trying to cough but alarmingly could not.
"What are you doing?" said Jack, outraged.
"Alicia is unable to make a sound while I am questioning you, otherwise she would tell you the answers!" exclaimed Baset as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.
"You'll give her voice back as soon as I'm done. Savvy?" said Jack. Then he added as an afterthought "Although, I might as well savour the fact that she's quiet for once." He grinned at his joke.
"But of course." answered Baset smoothly. Alicia felt odd, feeling such hate for Baset even though she was using Elizabeth's body.
"Jack Sparrow, you may not get questions wrong. Any wrong and you will have failed and William Turner will still be bound to the Flying Dutchman for eternity." explained Baset.
"The eunuch had better thank me for this…" said Jack through gritted teeth.
"And one more thing…" smiled Baset mischievously.
"Take too long to answer and I will set the Loch Ness Monster on you."
Jack gulped. It turned out that what they were looking at on the beach was not the sea, but Loch Ness. Jack believed in monsters of course. Any man who had experienced the wrath of the Kraken did. But it did not stop Jack from gazing out to the Loch, scanning it with his eyes to see if Baset's threats were true. Sure enough, every few seconds Jack saw a tentacle or two reach the surface of the water.
"What is Alicia's full name?" asked Baset. The challenge had already begun.
"Alicia Meredith Natalie Sanderson." he answered. Jack was relieved, he had known that since his days on the Barnacle.
"What is her favourite song?" questioned Baset. Out of the corner of his eye Jack could have sworn he could see the tentacles coming nearer and nearer.
"A Pirates Life for me." said Jack. It was something that they had in common.
"Why did Alicia leave the crew of The Singing Maiden when she was fifteen?"
Even though she could not talk, Alicia could still listen. She was shocked at how much the heathen god knew about her. "She is a god though, what do you expect?" thought Alicia to herself. Jack was doing well. He had not faltered once.
"Who did Alicia care about deeply and have a long relationship with them, not including you Sparrow?" asked Baset.
Jack began to think deeply. A thought occurred to him. Could it have been Hector Barbossa? Jack felt hot. Didn't Alicia tell him she had not gone out with Barbossa? But then again, did Jack truly trust her?
"Mark Radcliffe…" answered Jack hesitantly. Alicia smiled and Baset moved onto the next question. Jack had got it right! After finally answering Alicia's date of birth, age, favourite book and favourite drink, it was time for Alicia's turn.
"Jack Sparrow, you have successfully completed the third challenge with all your questions correct. Now it is your turn to be silenced." Baset announced. With a swing of her hand Jack lost the ability to speak, sing or even make a sound.
Alicia grinned. Jack being quiet certainly was a change! As soon as Alicia could speak again, Baset called her forward. Alicia was a little bit apprehensive but tried to appear confident.
"What is Jack Sparrow's middle name?" said Baset.
"Johnny." answered Alicia. She was certain that was correct.
"What was the old name of Jack's ship?"
"The Wicked Wench."
"How many times had Jack Sparrow been marooned by Barbossa?"
"Three,"
"Who is Jack's father?"
"Captain Teague,"
"What languages can Jack speak?"
"English, Spanish, the language of the Pelegostos, and French."
The third task was going well. Alicia had not answered any questions incorrectly. She was beginning to feel confident.
"What does Jack treasure most?"
"Freedom."
"What does Jack's compass point to?"
"What he desires most in the world."
Then, Baset asked her last question. "Who is Jack in love with?"
Alicia's heart started racing. She thought it was herself but then her mind immediately thought back to Elizabeth. Jack and Elizabeth had chemistry, there was no denying that. Just because Liz did not love him, it didn't mean that he felt the same way. Alicia began panicking. She knew that if she did not answer quickly, she would be the Loch Ness Monster's next meal. Jack could see that Alicia was unsure. He caught her eye. Although he could not speak Alicia knew what he was trying to tell her. She took a deep breath. This was a leap of faith and a huge one at that.
"Me, Alicia Sanderson." she answered firmly. A huge explosion followed her words. It threw both Jack and Alicia off the ground. Alicia could make out what looked like a spirit leave Elizabeth. She knew it was what was left of Baset.
