So their might be some mistakes in this chapter if there is I am VERY SORRY. Also sorry I've been ignoring the Dutchman and the Express lately. Alot has been happening on the Pearl so I didn't mention the other ships to much. But they are mentioned in this chapter. Here is the chapter where they finally find the Fountain of Youth! In the words of Captain Barbossa "Gints I give ye the Fountain of Youth!" an someother things that will surprise and full of wonderment for them all. And you too. lol. Well not much to say but review and enjoy.
Disclamier: I own nothing thank Disney for the wonderful Pirates of the Caribbean.
No beta comment sorry.
Chapter 25- The Fountain
Jack ran to the helm with Elizabeth, Will, and Barbossa right behind him. Jack looked out his telescope to see a island coming into the view with an interesting glow. It was full of trees and brushes hardly had sand. It was more of a jungle then an island. The crew awed in it's beauty. Somehow it gave off a curse and a love for it's beauty. It was like a spell of wonder that no one could resist not even Captain Jack Sparrow. Jack spoke softy to himself, "It's goreous."
Barbossa grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to face him. "Snap out of it Sparrow. It's the present of the Fountain it gives off a spell to bring any pirate in to claim it's soul. Through it's redched jungle." Barbossa snaped.
"Oh, I knew that." Jack mumbled. Barbossa shook his head as Elizabeth giggled quielty.
"So how do we get in if it leads you to having your soul taken?" Will asked crossing his arms.
"It's quite simple just cut down anything in our path." Jack proposed smiling at Will for he knew good and well that Will knew he got that from him. Will rolled his eyes in anger.
"What got ye so interested in the Fountain anyway, Captain Turner?" Babrossa asked as everyone glanced at Will. "I figured you would have already left since ya relationship with Mrs. Tuner so should I say Ms. Swann is dead."
Elizabeth looked down in shame as Will spoke, "I figured as I see what you gentlemen keep fonding over." Will looked over at Jack with a glare as Jack smirked. Elizabeth saw their exchanged looks and would ask Jack about it later.
"The only thing I guess we can do is ignore the call from the island and hope it get's us through." Barbossa explained as he looked out at the island.
The Black Pearl was pulled up on the sand at the island. The Flying Dutchman and the Express sailed beside the island watching for anything strange to happen and to watch the Pearl.Everyone got off the ship and started to walk in the forest. With Jack and Barbossa in front and Elizabeth, Will, and Gibbs behind them. Will insisted to bring his father, so Bootstrap was right their with them. An the crew was in the back. All that was heard was bugs and Pintel and Ragetti's mindless chatter.
They cut down as much as they could but the deeper they got the thicker the brush was. Until they couldn't anymore all they could do was push it out of their way.
"Why is this forest being such a bugger." Jack huffed.
"Don't talk back to the forest, Captain. It has powers none of us has dreamed of. Some say that before you even reach the Fountain itself the forest will make you tell things you didn't know yourself."
"You old supersitious goat." Jack and Barbossa mumbled.
"Continue Gibbs what else have they said about it?" Elizabeth asked with interest. Everyone knew that once you got Gibbs going about one of his stories it was going to be a long detailed thing. But Gibbs knew something about everything and everyone. He was sort of the wise storyteller.
"Well they say that no one guards the Fountain. That it has a maglical glowing sheild around it blocking anyone from getting a drink. That if you try to get it the sheild will make you go blind, deaf, and dumb." Gibbs grew louder with the last few words. Elizabeth backed up a little.
"But that's just a rumor." Gibbs spoke with a shrug. Elizabeth blew out a sigh and Jack looked back with a smile and Elizabeth smiled back. Jack winked and Elizabeth giggled. They continued to walk.
"But some say that someone does guard the Fountain." Gibbs grew closer.
"Wh-"
"Who!?" Pintel and Ragetti both yelped. Elizbeth looked back and they shrugged.
"Wel-"
"Is it a giant?" Marty asked.
"No it's a animal. A beast like the Kraken, right? Pintel asked.
"Is it a man with a hairy chest?" Ragetti propsed. Everyone turned and looked at Ragetti. "What it could happen."
"It's a woman." Jack told.
"Aye a woman it is." Gibbs resurred. "A woman with such beauty, such grace, such power. An angel."
"Why does she guard it?" Elizabeth asked in wonder.
"Well see the Fountain is her life. They say it gave her child. She poured it on her stomach and well she was blessed with a child no one said where said child is. It's a mystery and now for giving her a child she owes it to keep it safe. She's thousand's and thousand's years old. They say she's immortal from the Fountain of Youth.
"That's amazing." Elizbaeth breathed.
"Aye it is."
"I've heard that she is the protector of every man's dream." Bootstrap spoke.
"Do you hear that." Will spoke. "It's running water."
"Well we are beside an ocean." Jack replied as Will pushed through.
"No it's not that." Will spoke softly to himself. Then they all started to hear the sound of running water and a soft humming of some kind.
"Lord, what is that blessed sound?" Gibbs wondered as they all walked forward.
Barbossa pushed the leaves away and what they all saw. None of them will forget. What they saw was no imagination, no myth, no rumor. It was their they could all see it. An it was wonderful. What they saw was excatly what Gibbs had said.
An angel.
