////////////////////////flashback///////////////////////////
If he took the chance and dragged the boy behind him, he would get pulled down and they would both drown. If he let the boy go, he could make it, but would feel guilty the rest of his days.
In order to live, one must die.
It was the hardest decision Captain Jack Sparrow had ever had to make.
///////////////ok now that we're up to speed////////////////////...lol..////////
Jack Sparrow only had minutes to spare. He had to make his decision, and quickly. Why should he risk his life for the whelp? As a pirate, he knew he had no guidelines to follow, no morale, no honor. Wouldn't be too hard, just to let go. Easy as that.
As Jack pondered this, the cramp in his leg was worsening. All too soon, the leg seized up, and the rogue pirate cried out a bit in pain. He had had cramps before, but never this severe. Maybe it was just him, but it seemed as if in the past few minutes, Will's body had gotten heavier. The waves seemed to have gotten a bit rougher as well. Thinking quickly, Jack flipped himself onto his back, and laid the boy across his chest. He began a poor imitation of a backstroke toward the island, without the use of his leg.
Turned around in this manner, he had no way of knowing how far away the island lay, so he just kept swimming. One...two...three...four..... He counted in his head how many strokes it would take to get there. Being a pirate, Jack knew how much endurance he had, and what his limits were.
The pirate decided not to think about the dead weight on his chest. He tried looking up into the clouds, but found his gaze kept wandering back to Will. The boy still didn't seem to be breathing, not that the stunt Jack had pulled earlier had helped any, but it bothered him to see the boy so still.
Since Jack had first met Will, the boy had impressed him. It was rare that someone ever impressed the great Captain Jack Sparrow, but the skills the boy possessed were just remarkable. He fought like a seasoned man, like one who had already seen battle. He had pledged his love for a woman, and had taken great lengths to see her safe. In the end, though, it hadn't mattered, because now they were in this mess.
As he swam, he also thought about his crew, Elizabeth, and most of all, the Pearl. The curse he would rather not think about right now. Looking again to Will, he realized that he did, indeed, care for the boy. Getting to know him had not been easy, but on the way to Tortuga, he and boy had discussed many things. The boy had told him then that he trusted Jack's judgment. To trust a pirate? The idea itself was crazy.
Smiling grimly to himself, he found it hard to think that maybe he would have to be the one to break Elizabeth's heart. She would be devastated to know that Will Turner had sacrificed everything just to save her, even to the means of forfeiting his own life.
Now that was devotion.
Jack was so trained to his thoughts, that when he bumped into something, he yelped in surprise. This caused him to go under for a bit, and he lost his grip on Will. He floundered around a bit, and readjusted the boy in his arms. The pirate looked around, wondering what he had hit. The island was still some thirty feet away. There were no protruding rocks that he could see. Coral reef maybe? Nah...no sign of that either....
Swimming in a circle, Jack was still completely and utterly confused. He was still trying to locate the mysterious object when it BUMPED INTO HIM.
It was as if it was all around him, touching an arm, lightly brushing his leg. Very confusing. His mind began feeding him images of a great sea creature, with tentacles that, at any moment, would wrap around him and squeeze the life out of him.
Jack screamed. "AHHHHH!!!!"
Another gentle touch brushed his lower back, and upon contact, Jack squeezed his eyes shut, and did something he hadn't done since he was a small child.
Jack Sparrow begged for mercy.
"Here, take the boy! He's a bit on the thin side, but you can have 'im. Just let me go! I'll give you the rest of me crew as well!!!" He rambled this all in seemingly one sentence, and then realized the 'thing' was no longer touching him.
Opening his eyes, he saw nothing before him. He began to get angry. "Now this is just plain ridiculous! Are you going to eat me or not? Am I not tasty enough?"
He circled around again, and stopped short. The 'thing' was now face-to-face with him.
Jack immediately felt foolish, and his face turned a brilliant shade of red.
For there, in front of him, were the largest pair of sea turtles he had ever seen.
Captain Jack Sparrow could only think of two words....
"That's interesting."
