Chapter 5
Will opened his eyes into a bright sun. He was laying on some kind of hammock. He laid there blinded for a moment as he listened to things going on around him. The ocean was near by and he could hear children playing. He slowly sat up and looked around, nearly falling out of the hammock. The site he saw made him fall out of his hammock completely.
There was over twenty women walking around, but there wasn't a single man in site. Most of them were out in the water splashing around with there children.
"Ah, your awake!" A voice said behind him, " you took a nasty hit in the head."
Will spun around sudden pain shooting through his skull.
"Where am I? Who are you? What's the date?" Will shot off quickly holding his head in his hand.
"Calm down, relax. Here, sit in your hammock," She carefully guided him down again her skin slid over his, almost like a fish fell over his arm.
"What are you?" Will asked looking at her webbed hands and feet. There were random spots of silver scales on her body, and her eyes were as blue as the Caribbean water.
"So many questions, where do I start?"
"How about with the first one, where am I?" Will asked again.
"You are on an island in the Caribbean. If I told you the exact location, I'd have to kill you," She said winking at him.
"Then why did you save me?" Will raised his eyebrows.
"Ok, so I wouldn't kill you but I couldn't tell you because I don't know the exact location," She looked down at him.
"Second question. I am Niaya, I take care of pirates," She said bowing her head, "And I think it's midday on July the fourteenth, you've been asleep for a day."
"What about my last question, what are you?"
"We like to be called Water Nymphs, but mostly are confused with the myths of mermaids," Niaya explained with a sigh.
"Why did you save me?" Will asked after a moment of silence.
"That will be explain on a later date," She said smiling over at him, "but if you want something to think on, how do you think there's children if there's no men?"
They watched the nymphs splash around and laugh, Niaya didn't leave his side for a long time. Will felt like she was a new mother looking over her child.
"May I ask you a question?" her voice broke the silence between them, Will just looked over at her so she took it as a yes.
"What is the meaning of your ring, I've never seen one on that finger before," Niaya said lifting his hand playing with his wedding band.
"I'm married and that means that I'm bound to only one women," Will's voice shook as he told her about Elizabeth, tears forming in his eyes. He looked back at Niaya but she was already looking at him. There was a strange look in her eyes as they lowered onto the sand.
"I answered my own question and I don't think I'll be any help to you," Will said getting tired of just laying there.
"You're male aren't you?" Niaya asked in a weird tone just starring at a sand in front of her.
"Yes, but I love my wife, and I'll never love anybody else," Will said sitting up.
"You must be hungry, I'll go catch dinner," Niaya said standing up changing the subject.
"Catch, dinner? I-it's still alive?" Will said alarmed.
"Fish, we eat fish," Niaya said turning around.
"Can I come with you? I need to walk and I would like to see the island a little bit more," Will asked stretching his arms and legs out.
She smiled and waited for him walk next to her. She walked along the rolling waves pointing out different nymphs and their children.
"That one over there with the red hair saved a pirate about twenty years ago, fine lad. Very nice also, I think his name was Pete." She waved out to her, "And do you see the younger one? That ones mine."
Will was alarmed by this, "but she has to be nearly the same age,"
"How old do you think I am?" She asked playfully.
"Eighteen or twenty something around in there," Will said looking at her.
"Hundred and fifty-three," Niaya said smiling, "our bodies age very slowly, my oldest daughter is only a hundred and ten."
"How many children do you have?" Will asked.
"Six, no sorry, seven," Niaya said burrowing her eyebrows.
"You can't remember?" Will asked confused.
"Sometimes the pirates like to take the kids, but her father didn't, another also. But her father, actually you look a lot like him, but his name was Boot-Strap Bill," Wills fathers name rang in his ears. It couldn't be, Will was his only child.
"Boot-Strap Bill, he was my father," Will said quietly. Niaya looked up at him, she looked rather serious.
"Huh, I guess that explains the resemblance," She raised her eyebrows and shrugged.
A sudden rumble in his stomach told him he was more hungry than he thought. Niaya smiled and waded out into the ocean a little more. She dove under and came back up, the water rolling off her skin and hair.
"You wait here, I don't want you out in the water," Niaya said walking deeper into the water.
When she dove under Will could still see her as she sped off towards the rocks. She was very fast and looked like she could breath under water. A small tug on his hand brought him back to where he was.
"Who are you, sir?" a young looking girl asked.
"I'm Will Turner, I was hurt, so Niaya brought me back to take care of me," Will said binding down to her level, "who are you?"
The girl just giggled and dove underwater and swam away. He saw her surface and talked to Niayas daughter, his half sister.
