Chapter 38:

Alliances and Decisions

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and asked furiously "Is there anyone that can help us"? I grabbed her hand and whispered softly "Only one". Elizabeth sighed happily and her smile vividly brightened up but then I shook my head lightly and Elizabeth's eyes narrowed so she asked confused "Who is it Jack"? I cleared my throat and whispered "Tia. Tia Dalma…. But" I then got up and started pacing around the beach while saying angrily "There is absolutely no way to get in contact with her".

Frank Morgan's eyes widened as he asked "Tia Dalma? As in Calypso"? I nodded my head in his direction and Elizabeth then asked me "Calypso"? I sighed, remembering that Elizabeth did not know who Calypso was. I shifted my eyes away from hers and said softly "Aye, Tia Dalma. Long story, luv". Elizabeth pouted and said back in sorrow "There seem to be a lot of stories that are too long…"

I smiled at her and took her hand in mine and said quietly "Ye know luv, ye be awfully adorable when ye pout". Elizabeth's pout turned into a small giggle as I brought my hand to touch her face. Elizabeth looked at me sadly and whispered, "How are we going to get out of here"? I gave her a small smirk, a quick peck on the lips, and then wrapped my arms around her while whispering "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, luv. I always get myself out of situations that are unwanted, unneeded, unyielding, and perilous, but somehow I turn out just fine".

"Ha, ha…." I immediately heard laughter ring inside my ears. So I turned to Elizabeth, Morgan and Helena to see if any of them were laughing. But none of them seemed to be, so my eyebrows began to cross and my face began to tighten. And then I heard the laughter again, so I took a few steps away from Elizabeth and shouted out hysterically "Who the bloody hell be that"? Elizabeth looked at me confused, while the voice then began to speak "That is one important question that I always be wonderin'…." I interrupted the voice by asking alarmed "Who said that"?

Helena looked at me and asked scared "What is it Jack"? But I then shushed her and asked quietly "Who said that"? About a split second later, and little version of me appeared on my right shoulder. I gasped and asked, "Who are ye"? Morgan walked to me and asked, "Who are ye talkin' to young Jack"?

I chuckled and then responded back in a mocking tone "To the little me on me shoulder, of course"! Morgan, Elizabeth and Helena looked at me puzzled while asking in unison "To the who on yer what"? I rolled my eyes and pointed to my right shoulder while responding, once more with a mocking tone "To, little Jack on me right shoulder. How many times do I have to say it"?

Elizabeth walked up to me and took my hand in hers and whispered calmly "Jack, there isn't anyone on your shoulder". I gave her a small smirk and was about to say something when the little Jack on my right shoulder (that I saw) interrupted me by shouting "I'm right here ye bloody wench. I swear ye should have stuck with Scarlet at least she didn't give ye this much trouble".

My mouth fell open just as I heard another voice, this time coming from my left shoulder say "Don't say that! Elizabeth is the best thing that has happened to him, I mean ye, I mean us". I cleared my throat and asked angrily "What are ye two little buggers doing on me shoulders"? Elizabeth dropped my hand scared and whispered baffled "Jack…ugh…Captain. There is no one on your shoulder".

I rolled my eyes and then said sternly "Lizzie, luv. I don't like giving ye tough love, but you've got to realize that there are two little buggers on both me shoulders claiming to be me". Elizabeth glanced at both my shoulders and then back at my face to see me angry. She gulped, a bit confused and a bit frightened.

Captain Frank Morgan then took her by the shoulders and moved her away from me while whispering, "It must be the affects of Davy Jones' Locker". Elizabeth nodded half relieved and half scared for me. I cleared my throat and then took a few paces away from the group so I could be alone with the two little Jacks.

Once I reached a destination that was far enough from the crew. I asked the little me's a question "What do ye two want"? The little me on my right shoulder replied "Well, it's a quite long story. But I could tell you…." I nodded but then the little me on my right shoulder said with a laugh "…I just don't want to". I rolled my eyes and asked, "Just tell me, what is it ye want"?

"What is you want Mr. Turner? My crew and I were just about to leave…ugh…." Beckett stood on the H.M.S Dauntless holding the compass that Will had viciously taken from Jack. Beckett then opened the compass and it pointed to his left, so he continued and pointed to his left "…. that way". William nodded and asked with a smile "Where are you going"? Beckett turned to look at him and he chuckled while replying, "With Jack Sparrow dead, anywhere I want to".

Beckett paused for a second and asked suspicious "Why do you ask Turner"? William took a few steps to Beckett while replying "It seems that I have information about Captain Jack Sparrow and his…. whereabouts". Beckett looked at him surprised and confused while asking, "How is that possible Mr. Turner? You seem to be contradicting yourself William." Will shook his head and Beckett then asked puzzled "Your not? Well then…. go on".

William smiled as he began to negotiate "First you make me part of your crew, and then we will discuss Jack Sparrow and his knack for immortality". Beckett nodded and said confidently "You may speak…Commodore Turner". William smiled at him and replied happily "Jack Sparrow has not deceased, unfortunately. He is in Davy Jones Locker…" Becket stopped him there and whispered smiling "It seems that we have adamant need to find Davy Jones…"

Beckett then put out his hand and let Will shake it while saying to him "Your service has been of great importance to us at the East India Trading Company, especially now since we have both the heart of Davy Jones and Jack's compass". Will nodded and then said proudly "I believe it is part of my Job description as Commodore isn't it"? Beckett nodded and whispered calmly "Indeed".

Beckett then shouted out to the crew "Ready the fleet" and Grovington then shouted to the crew "To your stations"! Will took the compass from Beckett and whispered, "I'll be needing this after we find Jack Sparrow". Beckett's eyes widened and Will continued "So I could crush it to tiny pieces just as Jack did to my heart! And when that is done, I promise you my soul if I don't do the same to Jack"!

"What we want? Oh, ha ha, ye mean what ye want. Because the wanting of the needing of the desire to want to be needin' to have said yearns is exactly what ye need. Savvy"? I nodded my head at both of the little Jacks and then whispered proudly "I know exactly what ye mean". The little Jack on my left shoulder then whispered "We need to know who can save us". I nodded and continued walking further and further into the desert away from the crew.

I stopped walking when they weren't visible anymore. I sighed while whispering sadly "I don't even get to marry her". The little Jack on my right chuckled while asking, "Why do ye want to be marryin' her anyway? She is just a wench". I snapped back angrily "She is not a wench, she is…. she is…." I then smiled and whispered, "She is a pirate". The little Jack on my left smiled at me and said smugly "Ye know Jack, ye could marry her right here…right now... Captain Morgan is well, a Captain".

I gasped as he continued talking "Aye that he is". The little Jack then continued, "Her mother be here, ye be here, she be here and what better way be there to make a good thing come out of a horrible and fatal situation"? I grinned at his response and then whispered, "That I could do, and if we do die I could die being married to her". I then stopped myself and my face grew to one of disgust. I muttered out completely shocked with myself "I've become a eunuch. Oh no! I've become Turner".

The Jack on my right laughed and said coolly "No one could be that big of an eunuch". I chuckled at his joke, my joke, our joke…. okay well I chuckled a tthe joke. So I rearranged my hat on my head and said happily "Today will be the day where Captain Jack Sparrow will have a Mrs.". I turned to look at both my shoulders and the two tiny versions of me were gone. I smiled to myself and then took a few steps to my right.

But suddenly I felt my stomach flip, and my feet fall closer to the ground. I was under the impression that I had magically become shorter. So I looked at my feet and noticed that there was sand covering them. My nose twitched confused, but then I felt as if there was something underneath me pulling me slowly.

I gasped and realized that is was quick sand that I had stepped in to. I pulled my leg my hardest out of the sand but it did not work. I looked around me and muttered nervously "Oh Bugger".
