If it didn't have to be this way

By Jacksrumrunner

Author's Note: Ok, Ok. So now you can kill me. I said I wasn't going to write anymore but in the dead of the night, I was hit with a sudden idea for a story and I have to write it. I'm really sorry that I'm not going to write any of the other stories endings because I lost the feeling and had writer's block. I bet that J.R.R. Tolkien had stories he just threw away, too. Here we go.Oh yeah and I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean at all.

Note on this chapter: This chapter is a sort of look into the future. The next chapter will be the actual beginning and everything will be explained.

Leaf One:

"This way Mr. Sparrow" said the man dressed in white. Jack guessed this was some sort of hospital or something. He wouldn't bother the man on calling him "captain" instead of "mister". "But what would she be doing here?" he couldn't help but think. Maybe she had gotten a job here or something of that sort. The narrow hallway was making him feel claustrophobic. They passed by many cells where people, men and women, were seated on the floor or on straw mattresses. He could only see bits and pieces of the people. The windows were very small and barred. He'd never seen a hospital that locked up its patients before. The smell of urine and straw was almost enough to give him a headache.

"With all due respect, sir. When was the last time you cleaned this place? I mean, aren't hospitals supposed to be sanitary? This doesn't seem very sanitary to me" Jack couldn't help but spit out his thoughts.

"This is not a hospital, Mr. Sparrow. So the answer lies in the question" the man in white said without thought, as if he'd been asked this question many times.

"Isn't a hospital? Then what is this place?" Jack asked utterly confused.

"This is an insane asylum, Mr. Sparrow. Didn't you see the sign above the door?" No, Jack hadn't seen the sign above the door and was at this point very confused and curious on what his wife was doing here.

"Here we are" The man had guided Jack to another cell. Jack looked through the small window. Nothing could have ever prepared him for what he was about to see. _______

Suspense! What do you think? I haven't decided on a name for the female main character yet, does anyone have any ideas? Please share your thoughts! They are much appreciated.
