Epilog
A.N. I've gotta type like the wind! Gotta do this in 25 minutes!
Epilog!
Will, Elizabeth, and Jack stood in front of what used to be Will's blacksmith shop. The trio had bandaged their wounds, gotten some new clothes, and had taken long baths. Now they looked good in the morning sun, but their expressions were dark indeed.
Elizabeth looked at the charred limber and burnt wood. "Oh Will." She whispered, taking his hand and looking away.
Will sighed. This was a huge setback. Years worth of a set back. Luckily, he owned the property, but what where would they live? How would they live? He squeezed Elizabeth's hand. "We'll work it out." He said quietly, although he didn't have the faintest clue of how.
Jack watched all of this, and then cleared his throat. "There is one good thing about this."
Will glanced at him. "What?"
"With the old one sort of.burnt down," Jack explained, pointing to the pitiful ashes. "You can build a new one."
Will groaned, rolling his eyes. "Jack-"
"No, I'm not kidding!" Jack insisted. "With this you can buy a lumber person, a nails person, and all the wood you need."
"With what?" Elizabeth asked tiredly. They were penniless.
Jack reached inside his coat pocket and brought out a handful of golden coins and diamonds. "This."
Elizabeth and Will gasped at the sight.
"Where did you get that?" Will asked, wide-eyed.
"When I was looking for you on the Revenge I found Janson's own little treasure box." Jack answered, as if it wasn't a big deal. "Don't worry, I have tones more. And besides-" He emptied the small fortune into Will's hand. "I wanted to sort of.pay you back for all-" Jack looked down, putting his hands in his pockets. "The trouble I've caused you. And I'm sorry 'bout it."
Elizabeth smiled. "Don't worry about it Jack." She walked over and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "You are the best pirate we know."
Jack took in a big sigh, blushing crimson. "If you want to, the both of you could come with me." He offered suddenly.
"Come with you?" Will took Elizabeth's hand and smiled. "Where?"
Jack looked around, making sure nobody could hear him. "I also found this map in Janson's quarters." He took a bent and dirty piece of paper out of his pocket. "It leads me right to where Janson-"
Suddenly, two familiar voices were heard. "That's Jack Sparrow!" One said. "Yeah!" Said the other. "Let's get him!"
All three of them looked up to see two red-coated soldiers running towards them.
Jack blanched. "Here!" He handed the map to Will. "You take it!"
"Not in your life!" Will said, handing it back.
"Here." Elizabeth snatched the piece of paper. "I'll take it!"
Jack nodded. "Well I-" He watched the two soldiers coming.
"You'd better run." Will said.
"Well I-" Jack took one last look at the soldiers. "Oh curses!" He tipped his hat to Elizabeth, and nodded to Will. "Until next time!"
Will and Elizabeth watched as Jack ran while the soldiers pursued. Will smiled. "Bye."
Soon, the soldiers, and Jack, were gone.
"Do you think they'll catch him?" Elizabeth asked easily.
Will laughed. "Not in a hundred years."
"The problem with the shop is taken care of." Elizabeth looked at the burnt building, and sighed. "Thank goodness."
"Yeah." Will put his arm around her shoulders. "But isn't there something you were going to tell me?"
THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!
F.Y.I:
Elizabeth and Will had a little boy, and they called him Jack.
Jack did get his treasure, and he dragged Will into many more adventures along the way. Elizabeth always insisted on going along.
***Snap to Jack walking along a dark quiet street*
Jack Sparrow, bottle of whisky in hand, and pirate hat slightly askew on his head wobbles down the street. He starts to sing softly under his breath. "Yo-ho, Yo-ho-" He suddenly grins. "A PIRATE'S LIFE FOR ME!"
The End. ** (
