Right.. On to chapter 29 (but it says chapter 30 because of the authors note) Are you ready to rumble? Lets go!
Chapter 29: Rescuing, You did what? & The Boats
"This truly is a godforsaken place.."
Jenna heard Mr Gibbs say as she was kneeling in the sand, clutching her chest hard as the rest of the salty sea water that was trapped in her lungs began to come up. She sputtered for a bit before finally looking up with some of her hair stuck to her face to see they were finally on a beach but the ship they were sailing in was destroyed..
Bits of plank, barrels, and everything else on board scattered around her.
"Are we here?"
Barbossa appeared next to Jenna, holding out his hand helping the small girl to her feet and holding her up slightly before she found her balance.
"Davy Jones locker… this is the place.." Barbossa nodded down to Jenna, then stepping away from her studying the golden sand hill in front of him.
"I don't see Jack…."
"Or Flik…" Jenna added to Elizabeth's sentence, shooting her an evil glance from across the beach towards her.
"I don't see Jack.. Or Flik.. I don't see anyone.." Elizabeth rolled her eyes a little, her hair was also swept and stuck on her face as she looked around too.
"Nice look Fish Lips…" Jenna muttered under her breath, laughing a little then coughing some more.
"They are here. Davy Jones never once gave up that what he took.." Barbossa looked back at Elizabeth and Will standing next to each other, but Will wasn't having any of this.. He began to walk over to Barbossa and stand next to him giving him an evil at the side of his face.
"It doesn't matter, we're trapped here by your doing, no different than Jack or Flik…"
"Actually…"
Barbossa turned and faced Jenna with a smirk upon his face, eyebrows raised up..
"It's Miss Jenna's fault.. She was the one that made the charts work…"
"Hey!" Jenna protested walking over and pointing her finger up towards Barbossa.
"I wasn't in control of the rudder now! Was I?" Jenna smiled smugly back.
"Witty Jack and Flik are closer than you think…"
Jenna stopped pointing her finger and drew her attention towards Tia Dalma who suddenly had a small white crab in her left hand and she was petting it.
Before Jenna could speak, she felt the sun above her head disappear from a black shadow came over all there heads… All of them turned on the spot back towards the sand dune that was in front of them to see the shadow getting bigger, then Jenna's mouth fell open to see the mast of a ship appearing right there with what looked like two shadowy figures standing right at the top.
The rest of the ship then started to come over the top of the dune and move down it with speed going towards the sea, Jenna couldn't believe what she was seeing nor could everyone else that matter.. Everyone's faces were gob smacked.
"Um.. Did anyone else see that…?"
Will nodded in Jenna's direction a little before looking over to Elizabeth whom seemed to be happy to see an little row boat appear at the shore line with two people in it..
"FLIK!" Jenna screamed, rushing past Pintel and Ragetti before jumping on the girl next to Jack.
"Ooof!" Flik muttered as her friend suddenly bombarded her with a running tackle to the floor.
"I'm so glad your alive.. And you're here! And and and…" Jenna started rambling whilst hugging the daylights out of Flik.
"Slap me thrice and hand me to me mamma! It's Jack and Flik!" Gibbs smiled wide, hurrying over towards them.
"It's the captain.." Pintel nodded to Ragetti who was busy staring at the Black Pearl floating in the sea.
"A sight for sore eyes! Jack!" Gibbs came face to face with Jack, then looked down to see Jenna was still hugging Flik.
"And Flik! I'm glad to see you too!" Flik's thumb suddenly appeared behind Jenna giving Gibb's a thumbs up as she was too busy being hugged.
"Mr Gibbs!"
"Aye, captain?"
"I thought so. I expect you can account for your actions then?" Jack asked the man.
"Sir?" Gibbs replied to him a little confused.
"There has been a perpetual and virulent lack of discipline aboard my vessel! Why is that, sir?"
Gibbs's eyes opened wider and looked towards the other crew members perplexed at what Jack was saying to him. At that moment, Jenna had eventually gotten off Flik and helped her to her feet.
"Did you miss me?" Jenna asked Flik smiling wide, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
"Sure…" Flik said unsure then went over and stood next to Jack, half smiling up to him.
"You're in Davy Jones's locker… Captain.." Gibbs concluded.
"We know that! We know where we are! And don't think we don't!" Jack nodded along with Flik, Jenna looked confused at them both then stood next to Gibbs, her eyebrows knitting in the middle staring at them both.
"Jack Sparrow…"
Flik's head titled to one side to look behind Jenna and Gibbs to see another tall man dressed in black with a black 'wet' feather in his hat standing next to two other people that looked strangely like Pintel and Ragetti.. Flik's eyes squinted in the sun trying to work out who the person was.
"Ah Hector…"
"Hector…" Flik whispered then 'Ooohing' out loud, nodding.. It was Barbossa! Now she remembered.
"It's been too long. Hasn't it?" Jack gave Barbossa a smile then started to walk over, grabbing Flik's left hand taking her along with him and she was followed by Jenna grabbing her other hand!
"Aye! Isla de Muerta remember? You shot me"
"No I didn't!"
"Jack.. I think you did…" Flik piped up, Jack shot her a look staring blankly at her face before shaking his head and moving on from Barbossa…
"Ahhh Tia Dalma… out and about eh? You lend an agreeable sense of the macabre to any delirium"
"What?" Jenna asked out loud, not understanding a word that Jack was saying.
"They think we're a hallucination…." Will looked at them both, before looking at Jenna.
"You think I'm fake?" Jenna yelled loudly in Flik's ear making her step back from Jenna.
"I…"
Before Flik could answer, Jack had dragged her over towards Will smiling at him.
"William, tell me something. Have you come to me because you need my help to rescue a certain distressing damsel? Or rather a damsel in distress? Either one?" Flik giggled a little, giving Jack's hand a squeeze at his last sentence.
"No"
"Then you wouldn't be here! So you can't be here! Q.E.D you're not really here.." Jack told him, then turned his back with Flik doing the same and began to walk away from them.
"Jack!" both of them suddenly stopped at the female voice calling them back, they turned again to see another figure appear from behind Will and Jenna.
"This is real… We're here" Elizabeth concluded, then it unexpectedly all came back to the both of them.. Flik looked at Jack who was looking back at her, both of them thinking the same thoughts - How they came to the locker, and especially who put them here..
Flik darted behind Jack's back afraid but he scurried over towards Gibbs hiding behind him.
"The locker, you say?"
"Aye…" Gibbs nodded towards the both of them, Flik came out behind Jack and ran over back towards Jenna and jumping her making them both fall towards the sand.
"I'm sorry Jenna! I didn't know!" Flik mumbled, hugging her back.
"It's fine, I should of known.. But I'm so glad you know now!" Jenna laughed hugging her back.
"We've come to rescue you.."
"Rescue us?" Flik yelled suddenly, shoving Jenna off the top of her and storming her way over to Elizabeth who now seemed to be taken back at the look of anger on Flik's face.
"You knocked me out and chained me up with my Jack to face the kraken!" Flik yelled at her face, then raised her right arm up to punch Fish Lips in the face, but before she could, Will suddenly grabbed Flik and shoved her away towards Jack protecting Elizabeth.
"Rescue us? That's very kind of you. But seeing as I possess a ship and you don't, it seems as though you're the ones in need of rescuing and I'm not sure that me or Felicity Jane here are in the mood? Are we luv?"
"Well.. Can we at least take Jenna with us…?" Flik asked with a smile.
"Anything for you.."
Flik smiled wide as Jack's head lowered slowly giving her a small peck on her lips, making the butterflies whiz around her stomach again.
Barbossa sighed at the kissing couple, rolling his eyes and then pointing out to sea.
"I see my boat…right there.."
"Can't spot it, must be a tiny little thing behind the pearl.." Jack's head turned to where he was pointing, Flik and Jenna laughed to themselves silently.
"Jack, Cutler Beckett has the heart of Davy Jones. He controls the Flying Dutchman…" Will said, getting Jack's attention once more.
"He's taking over the seas!"
"The song has already been sung, the Brethren Court is called" Tia Dalma also mentioned to him.
"Leave you people alone for a minute and look's what happened! Everything's gone to pot"
"It seems everyone needs you.." Flik whispered to Jack, feeling a tad left out.
"Aye, Jack - The world needs you back, something fierce!" Gibbs gave Jack a smile.
"Hey! Doesn't the world need me back?"
Gibbs looked at Flik for a moment, but before he opened his mouth.. Jenna pushed him out of her way and stood in front of Flik and Jack.
"Of course we need you too Flik!" Jenna reassured her, smiling wide and then hugging Flik once again.
"Jenna.. I know you love hugs.."
"Of course I love them!"
"Well…you are squashing me!" Flik choked out, her breathe becoming short from the hugs.
"Sorry!" Jenna realized what she was doing and stepped to Flik's side.
"And you need a crew for the ship" Will told Jack.
"Why should we sail with any of you, Four of you tried to kill me in the past and one of you succeeded…"
Will looked confused at Jack for a moment, before turning back to Elizabeth who had all eyes on her.
"Oh come on William, you know…" Flik tutted and shook her head along with Jenna.
"You saw her, remember?" Jenna piped in also.
"Well It looks like you and Fish Lips have a lot to talk about whilst you're here.. And as for you…"
Jack walked along, and smiled at Tia Dalma smirking back at him, pushing her body forward into Jack's.
"Oooh Tia Dalma is trying it on with your Jack.." Jenna whispered, pointing towards them both.
"Now, don't tell me you didn't enjoy it, at the time.." Jack smiled, but it soon faded as he felt a pair of eyes burning into the back of his head, he turned to see Flik with her arms crossed glaring at him with one of her eyebrows raised high.
"I'm sorry Tia Dalma, but no.." Jack stepped away and began walking down the line of crew members.
"Don't need you, you scare me… Gibbs! You can come.. Marty, Cotton and Cotton's parrot, I'm a little iffy but at least I'll have something to talk to..Oh…"
Jack stopped, taken back a bit to see Tai Huang with his crew members standing together at the end of the line.
"Who are you?"
"Tai Huang, and these are my men"
"Where do your allegiances lie?" Jack asked them.
"With the highest bidder…"
"We have a ship!" Flik called across from her spot with Jenna, both of them smiling at Jack and the others.
"What she said…" Jack looked back giving her a quick wink.
"That makes you three the highest bidder"
"Good man! Weigh anchor, all hands! Prepare to make sail!" Jack ordered, all of Tai Huang's men moved off from the beach to set about to do their orders.
Jack walked back to Flik and Jenna, putting his arm around Flik's waist putting her in slightly towards him giving her a smile before putting out his compass, Flik watched how the compass started to spin around in circles like it did with Fish Lips when they were on the island.
"Do you want me to try?" Flik asked him, he nodded and handed her the compass but it was doing the same thing.
"It looks like we do need them…" Flik whispered sighing at Jenna and Jack who weren't looking impressed.
"Jack… which way ya goin', Jack?" They all heard Barbossa's voice call to them, they all looked at each other wondering how did he know? Jenna turned to see Barbossa's fingers were tapping the charts under his arm.
Black Pearl
"Here you go luv…" Jack's hands reached down towards Flik's and helped her gently up the side of the Black Pearl, Jenna looked at them both wondering why was Jack being extra nice to Flik as she came up behind her friend and stumbled onto the deck of the Black Pearl.
"Thank you Jack.." Flik smiled at him, he kissed her hand softly before stalking after Barbossa who was shouting orders.
"Why's Jack being extra nice to you?" Jenna asked out loud to Flik, slightly crossing her arms looking at Flik stare at the spot where Jack was.
"Sorry… what did you say?" Flik shook her head, snapping out of her day dream.
"I said, why's Jack being extra nice to you…" Jenna repeated herself, raising an eyebrow in the process.
"Well…" Flik started to say, but she didn't get very far because Jenna's head light bulb pinged in her head!"Holy shit! You and Jack…" Jenna gasped in surprise, looking at Flik blushing a little and at Jack still following Barbossa.
"Yes, me and Jack.. In the locker…we had sex…"
"You two did what?"
"You heard me Jenna.. I'm not gonna repeat it twice!" Flik replied frowning at her.
"So, how was it…?"
"HAUL THE PALLET LINE!"
Both girls suddenly jumped out of their skin when they heard Barbossa come near them shouting orders at the members of the crew, he was followed closely by Jack doing the same.
"HAUL THE PALLET LINE!"
"What ARE you doing?"
"What are YOU doing?" Jack repeated, Jenna and Flik smiled at each other keeping their laughter in once again.
"No, What ARE you doing?"
"No, What are YOU doing? Captain gives orders on the ship!"
"The Captain of this ship is giving orders!" Barbossa replied back, all the crew had now stopped to look at them both arguing on who was captain.
"My ship, makes me captain!"
"They be my charts!" Barbossa shook his charts in the air which now made Flik and Jenna laugh out loud, Jack and Barbossa stopped and looked back towards the girls laughing their heads off.. They both shrugged and carried on.
"That makes you… chart man!"
"CHART MAN!" Jenna burst out laughing once again, holding on to the side of the ship.
"STOW IT! The both of you! That's an order! Understand?" Jenna and Flik stopped laughing as Barbossa and Jack again stopped their disagreement to stare at Pintel shouting at them.
"Sorry.. I just thought with the captain issue being in doubt. I'd throw my name in for consideration…"
At the that moment, ignoring what Pintel just said - Barbossa and Jack shuffled past him pushing each other up the stairs towards the wheel fighting a little.
"I'd vote for ya…" Ragetti reassured him.
"Me too…"
"Same here Pintel" Flik said also, as Jenna and Flik walked past the men going up the stairs.
"Yeah? You would?" Pintel smiled.
Flik nodded, and walked to the side of Jack, who was too busy staring at Barbossa pulling out his spyglass to look ahead of him, Jenna giggled and rested her elbows on the side of the ship watching them.
Jack smirked to himself and pulled out his own spyglass which then made Flik burst out laughing again to see his spyglass was much smaller than his.
"It's not about the size…" Flik told Jack with a cheeky smile.
"Oh really…" Jack replied, instantly forgetting about Barbossa and turning his attentions back to his future wife next to him.
"Hey Jack! If you want, I can fix it later for you…" Jenna smiled coming towards Jack and Flik staring at each other, their eyes locked.
"Hello….." Jenna waved her hand at Flik and then at Jack trying to break them from the spell..
"Lassie.. Leave them too it…" Barbossa whispered in Jenna's ear, Jenna nodded confused and went over and sat on a random box near the wheel still staring at Jack and Flik.
"Felicity…" Jack whispered with a smile, before Jack could continue - Flik grabbed his hand and dragged him in a hurry down the steps of the ship and straight into the captain's cabin then slamming the door behind them.
Nightfall
"I know someone who really fancies you Barbossa…" Jenna said randomly out loud, she had been bored for hours on end now since 'Flik' was not to be disturbed after dragging Jack Sparrow away into the cabin and both haven't been seen since then, and Elizabeth and Will had also suddenly disappeared as well.
Jenna had been helping with the ship and talking with Cotton's parrot, Marty, Gibbs and now she turned to Barbossa to talk with..
"Aye?" Barbossa replied curiously, steering the wheel of the ship with one hand.
"My friend, her name is Alicia… she's totally mad about you! Maybe when this is all over you two can hook up you know?" Jenna smiled wide at him, his eyes widen as he shifted on the spot a few times.
"Hook up…?"
"Yes… hook up meaning…"
"AAAAAAAAAH!"
Jenna stopped automatically when she heard someone scream from behind, she thought it was Flik at first but soon realized the voice was Ragetti who had just dropped his fishing pole into the sea from off the boat and into the water.. His face was a sudden pale as he pointed below.
She stood up, and walked down the steps again and looked overboard..
"Aaaah!" Jenna screamed also at the sight in front of her eyes, there in the water below were bodies.. Pale white bodies floating at the bottom of the ship, some of them bumping into it or just floating past..
Jenna must have been in a trance, she was just staring at the bodies pass.. Men, woman and children in the water..
Two loud bangs woke Jenna from her trance and she looked over to see Pintel and Ragetti both dropping cannon balls onto the deck at the sight of Tia Dalma.
"Be disrespectful, it would…"
"Of course it would be!" Jenna huffed at them, giving them evil looks standing next to Tia Dalma now.
"They should be in the care of Davy Jones. That was the duty him was charged with by the goddess, Calypso. To ferry them who dies at sea to the other side. And every ten years he could come ashore to be with she who love him, truly. But the man has become a monster." Tia Dalma explained to them all.
"So, he wasn't always… tentacly?"
"No, him was a man…once" Jenna watched how Tia Dalma fiddled about with the silver locket around her neck and smile a little looking down at it.
"Now it's boats coming…"
All of them made their way towards the side of the ship looking at the individual boats with lanterns appear out of the fog, there were men, woman, and children sitting in them looking aimlessly ahead of them paying no attention.
Jenna heard Gibbs load his gun at the side of her, but he was stopped by Will and Elizabeth who appeared out of nowhere.
"They're not a threat to us, am I right…?" Will asked Tia Dalma still staring out at them.
"We are nothing but ghosts to them.."
"Is best just let them be…" Barbossa nodded to Jenna and Gibbs, he started to walk away but his place was replaced by someone else who stood next to Jenna, she looked up to see Flik was back wearing a white shirt that was miles too big for her and her hair messy..
"What did I miss…oh…" Flik said, as she noticed the boats of people in front of her eyes passing.
"Yeah.. You missed tons…" Jenna shook her head and saw Jack come up behind Flik hugging her from behind, wrapping an arm around Flik's waist and squeezing her a little.
Everyone was silent, they were watching the boats pass them by… there were so many men, woman and children just staring into space…
"There are so many…" Jenna muttered under her breathe to Flik whom nodded in return leaning her body back into Jack.
"Father?"
Jenna and Flik's eyes widen and both heads turned in unison towards Elizabeth who broke the silence of the members of the ship.
"Uh oh…"
