Chapter 2
*"Come in we've been waiting for you." The woman said gesturing for them to enter.*
Jack and Will sat down in arm chairs by a smoldering fire. The woman smiled at them and took her own seat gracefully.
"Ye said ye were expectin' us how did ye know we were comin?" Jack asked the girl who grinned shyly
"I have an ability where I occasionally get flashes...of peoples thoughts and sometimes of the future...." She shrugged, "but it's usually jumbled so that I can't put two and two together."
"So ye be knowin we need a medium." The girls eyes widened.
"That I didn't know, all I saw was two handsome men comin' to our door." The girl said with a small sigh, "A medium ye say....Layelle is the only Medium on this island...at least who's genuine." She added with a small grin.
"An' where is she?" The girl shrugged
"Knowing Layelle she's probably in her room with one of her haunts chatterin' away." The girl said rising from her seat, "Wait here I'll bring her out." She moved gracefully towards a bookshelf and knocked twice on one of Shakespeare's works and the bookcase moved out of her way. The girl moved through and the opening shut. Will and Jack glanced at each other eyebrows raised.
"Now that's interesting." Jack stated scratching his braided beard lightly.
"Yes...." Will said still staring at the book shelf in surprise, "I would love to know how that works and-"
"Still the blacksmith eh Will?" Jack asked with a grin, Will smiled softly at Jacks joke. The book shelves moved and the girl walked out of the corridor behind the book shelf. However she was closely followed by another woman. Jack stared at her, his mouth salivated and his heart pounded, beauty in its truest form, and he had only just seen her eyes. They were the exact same color as his beloved sea, he moved his eyes to the rest of her, medium shade of brown hair fell in perfect curls just down to her waist, and her skin was smooth and creamy, totally unflawed like a perfect gem except for a scar across her right cheek.
"This is Layelle, the medium." The girl said, Jack stood and gave her a roguish grin.
"Captain Jack Sparrow." He said extending his hand, she shook it.
"Layelle Roberts." She said simply and gestured for him to sit down, "what is your reason for seeking the services of a medium?" She asked sitting gracefully
"Crossin' the Sea o' Ghosts to get the Treasure of Jet." The young woman choked staring at him her sea eyes wide.
"Sea of Ghosts? Mr Sparrow-"
"Captain Sparrow." Jack corrected her out of reflex, she nodded
"Captain Sparrow....you don't understand the workings of a medium do you?" She asked
"Ye talk to the spooks an' get them to stop buggin us while we be crossin the sea." Jack said, she nodded.
"That's only part of it Captain Sparrow," She brushed a lock of brown hair out of her eyes, "To a medium the ghosts ARE real, they're solid, capable of harming the medium as easily as they speak to the medium." She shuddered, "that's how I got this." She gestured to the scar on her right cheek.
"Is it the same vise versa?" Will asked, "Could you hurt the ghost as well?" The girl turned to him and nodded.
"Aye I could, but...it's not worth it." She bit her lip, "then the ghost just....just...perishes...." she choked, "it's a horrible thing, and nobody deserves it."
"So a ghost is still a person?" Will asked, she nodded.
"The soul, with the emotions and memories that the person would have had in life. Jesse for instance, a ghost friend of mine, he's been dead for about....90 years, he can recall everything through out his life like you and I he's just like a normal person except that he's well...."
"Dead." Jack finished the sentence, "so could ye wound the ghost? Not enough to be sendin' it off but enough to get it to back off and let you pass?" She thought.
"Aye." She said
"And can ghosts battle ghosts?" Will asked, she nodded again, "then couldn't one of you're ghost friends help you."
"Aye." She said nodding yet again.
"Then will ye sail with us across the Sea of Ghosts?" Jack asked leaning over, Layelle glanced at the other girl who was fidgeting in her seat obviously eager, Layelle ran a hand through her hair.
"How much will we be paid?" Layelle asked
"We?" Jack asked raising an eyebrow
"Aye, Kasidy is my best mate, we need to go together or I don't go at all." Layelle said firmly meeting Jacks black eyed gaze with her sea eyes. They were stormy now, and determined, like the sea. Jack smiled, o this lass would be an interesting one.
"Aye she can come along, 1,000 crowns now an' 1,000 crowns when we finish, fer each of you." Jack said, the two young women looked at each other.
"Come on Layelle ye can' be sittin on yer bum on this rock yer whole life, plus Jesse an' the others will probably love to get off this rock, an' besides ye love the oceans." The girl Kasidy said with a grin, Layelle smiled.
"Aye, we'll be goin." Layelle said with a smile. Jack hopped to his feet and grabbed her around her waist and twirled her around.
"Yer me guide to a fortune!" Jack said kissing her cheek. Layelle laughed when she was placed to her feet. She froze and shuddered.
"Layelle!" Kassidy shouted as Layelle fell to the ground and suddenly a fresh bruise appeared on her cheek. Layelle screamed.
"JESSE, DAIMIAN HELP ME!" She shouted a few minutes later everything stopped and Layelle sat back up shaking, she looked up at Jack, "Do you have an enemy....a dead one....one who's been dead a few years or so? With a monkey?" Jack and Will glanced at each other.
"Barbossa." They said in unison. Layelle ran a hand through her hair.
"Well, let's just say he isn't too pleased with you going off for that treasure, tried to give me quite the pounding....thankfully he underestimated how strong mediums ghost friends can be." She said brushing off her skirts and standing up. Jack and Will glanced at each other. This would have all seemed very unbelieveable to them had they not had some experience with the super-natural themselves, "Kasidy and I will pack our things." Jack nodded.
"Aye ye best be hurryin up, I don' like bein' away from me Pearl to long." Jack said, Layelles head shot up.
"The Black Pearl?" She whispered
"Aye." The girls face brightened.
"Daimian is happy to be able to go on such a legendary ship, he's been dead about 15 years, still remembers stories about Jack Sparrow." Layelle said with a smile, Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Me eh? Does-" Jack began when Will cut him off.
"Jack! Take a look at this!" Will said gesturing out the window, Jack moved over. Red-coats 20 of them at least. And being that this was Tortuga it was un-expected and couldn't quite seem like coincedence.
"20 red coats, damn, I'm sorry ladies but ye won't be able to be packin, take what ye need we need to go." Kassidy nodded.
"Aye, there's a passage way out follow me." She said and rushed to the bookshelf and touched Shakespeares works again and the shelf moved aside, "Come on!" The four of them rushed through the gate way which sealed just when a group of men brokedown the door.
-*Layelles POV sorta*-
"Damn them red coats to hell never met a decent one." said the voice of a man in his mid-twenties, he was deathly pale and with thick black hair and emerald eyes. He was standing between Layelle and Jack and ranting on about red coats.
"Jesse shut up we need to get out, go through and see if they're waiting for us." Layelle said out loud. The ghost Jesse scowled but nodded and drifted off through the wall. Layelle shook her head, it still looked odd when a ghost went through a wall to her.
"Ye tellin one of yer ghosties to help us out?" Jack asked
"Aye, Jesse is checking at the exit, Damian!" She called another male ghost with blonde hair and blue eyes and a boyish grin came forth.
"Aye what is it Layelle!" The boy said with a cheery grin
"O stop being so cheerful it's irritating. Go back and check out if they've figured out how to get in here hurry!" She hissed, Damian went into a mock salute
"Aye! O yeah and Layelle!" Damian called as he travelled towards the entrance, "Sparrow was checkin out yer bum!" She flushed and turned to face Jack sharply. She glared at him before she slapped him. His head flew back and he touched his cheek.
"Don't think I deserved that." He said, Layelle glared at him.
"If you're going to look somewhere Jack Sparrow kindly look somewhere other then my bum!" She said, he grinned
"Ye can' blame a man fer lookin." He said, she scowled, Jesse floated back over.
"Nothin' it'll be fine, but tell them I'd have their weapons ready." Layelle nodded and relayed the message. Jack and Will nodded. Damian ran back his usually cheerful face serious.
"They got it RUN damn it RUN!" Damian shouted.
"RUN! They've found the way in." Layelle hissed and they all ran there feet making quite a bit of noise. Jack and Will drew their swords and Kassidy and Layelle threw open the exit door and they ran off to the docks. They passed many people pushing their way through the crowds, ignoring peoples howls of anger as they fell into the mud. They reached the docks and Jack, Will, Layelle, and Kassidy hopped into the boat. Damian and Jesse joined them as well but they weren't noticed by any other then Layelle who smiled at her two ghost friends. As they rowed out of the harbor Jack began singing.
"Yo ho yo ho a pirates life fer me..." he sang softly, Layelle heard him and began singing along a grin on her face. They were pulled up on board Jacks ship and he grinned at the crew who stared at the three new comers. Jack turned to them and smiled.
"Welcome to the Black Pearl." He said
