Chapter 4: It's beautiful, isn't it?
"It's a map. Looks like I'll be heading across the sea."
"This is of Spain, what's in Spain?"
"Don't know yet, that's why I needed you boy, looks like we'll be heading near Portugal to the town of Vigo, Spain.Hmm, I wonder what awaits there. Well, I'm quite done with you; Ana Maria will take you back to town. And don't tell anyone what I told you or that I was even here. And don't do anything stupid, like follow me. I'll send word when I get back."
"It was good seeing you again." Will said as he headed up on deck to find Ana Maria. He found her eating an apple waiting for him. They trip back into town was a long and slow one. Will was worried about poor ole Jack. He didn't like the idea of him going over to Spain; even if it might it might help him. It was too dangerous and it would take quite a long time, and Will knew he would worry every second he didn't hear from Jack. It would be worse than the two previous years, because Jack had stayed in the Caribbean and was sure that if he got caught, Will and Elizabeth would be informed.
The moon was already gone from the sky when Ana Maria returned and the Black Pearl set sail across the ocean. Jack had picked up provisions while in Tortuga, anticipating a long journey. It was going to be a long trip and hard on the crew. They were accustomed to staying in the Caribbean and being near land, always within a two days sail.
Jack stood at the wheel at looked upon his crew. It had been approximately three years since they joined together. They had been a many trying times together. Jack knew that they could make, no matter what happened to them. He had no clue as to what was awaiting him in Spain and wondered if his neck was in danger if he traveled there. He knew there was no sense in wondering about anything, he had to do this if he wanted to get his old self back.
Later that night Jack was lying awake in his cabin staring at the boards when there was a knock at the door. Jack immediately jumped out of his bed, "Who's there?"
"'Tis I Captain, Gibbs."
"Oh, well then come in. What is it ye want?"
"Just checkin on you Cap'n. You've been not right as of late, and I've noticed you're gettin' worse. Ye haven't been yourself, looking tired and such."
"I know, I can't sleep, but this isn't somethin' I wish to discuss at the moment. We just need to get to port and have the luck of not gettin' into any storms. Now, get back on deck!"
"Aye, will do." With that, Gibbs left Jack alone to his thoughts.
Jack fell asleep about an hour after Gibbs had left and began to dream. He tossed and turned as strange images popped into his head. He saw the Black Pearl before it had been taken over by the mutinous, cursed crew. It was new, and it had an aura surrounding it, like that of a new born, an innocent. He also saw many things he didn't recognize, like an old man, his hair had become a natural grey color. The images began changing rapidly and Jack became confused and nervous, he didn't know what they meant and couldn't begin to figure it out. He awoke suddenly, he was drenched in sweat.
He sat up and put his jacket and hat on and went up on deck. Ana Maria was watching over the ship at the time. She was leaning over the edge and looking out at the ocean, hypnotized by the movements of the waves.
"You can go now."
"Yes Jack. It's beautiful, isn't it? So much power and mystery. I love the sea.Well, I'll be going now."
He watched as she left and then looked over the ocean. It really was beautiful; everything Jack needed belonged with it. He could never bear to be parted from it.
