Only the Truth
Author's Note: I don't know what's wrong with me...it's partial writers block and partial HAS's(High School Assessments...arrgghhh). I hope this chapter is decent. I think it's quite alright, but that'll be for you to decide. ATTENTION ALL CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW FANATICS...HE WILL BE INTRODUCED INTO THE STORY AGAIN VERY VERY VERY SOON! NO NEED TO WORRY...HOWEVER, WHAT I SHALL DECIDE TO DO WITH HIM IS, WELL, NOT DECIDED! He will be in it, though. Duh, what would I do without my man?!?!?!? Ok, well I guess he'll sort of be YOUR man because this is a Jack you fic. Anyway! Here we go....
Only to be awoken by the most amazing thing you've ever seen. That man! The one who you saved from the gallows. He was standing, no...rather FLOATING above you. You blinked a couple times (A/N I hate it when your eyes are all blurry in the morning and you have to blink a billion times and then find out you have an eyelash in your eye) and realized that he was not floating at all. You were the one on the ground! It took you a while to realize that you were no longer in Melquiades's brightly colored house full of eccentricities from around the world. In fact, you were far from it! You were on the dirty floor of some street! You quickly got up and busied yourself with wiping the scum off your dress. Your ONLY dress, keep in mind. You forgot the man was there at all. Jack Sparrow, you think his name was. Yes, Captain Jack Sparrow. He was famous after all, and you had saved his life. But that seemed like ages ago. Was Melquiades even real? Had you possibly conjured up some crackpot story just to satisfy your aching mind and soul? In your mind a whirl, you still did not acknowledge Jack at all.
"Excuse me?" he finally said, breaking the silence between you two.
"Hmmm?" you answered, in lack of vocabulary. He was gorgeous! How could you say anything to him? He owed you his life, though, you remembered. How on earth was this going to turn out?
"Well, I just wanted to thank you for saving me again" he said. You were curious on why he had the time to say this in the first place.
"I thought you had said that you needed to catch your ship before it left port. Did you miss it?" you asked. He made a sad looking face.
"Actually, they left without me". Awwww, you thought to yourself. Poor man lost his ship...but then again you were the one who needed to be pitied. He could at least tell the truth. Instantly he jumped back into a cheery joy.
"Well, since you saved me life, how's about I take you for a drink? Considering I've got nothing better to do" he was quite respectful for a pirate, but you weren't a drinking type. Holding your alcohol wasn't your best aspect. That was one of the reasons that you had found Andrew in the first place...
"No, I'm afraid I can't" you lied of course. "Damn the fucking curse!" you thought to yourself. You really wanted to go with him.
"Are you sure lass?" he said, with a pleading look in his eyes. You remained silent.
"Your loss..." he said finally. And with a final glance, he was off. You felt so alone in the world. You wished more than anything you had that book right now. But was what Melquiades said true? After all, he seemed like a big dream to you. Hadn't you just woken up in the street? But you've got no one to turn to and nowhere to go. "I'm doomed!" you thought to yourself. Finally you decided to visit Mary and Lorenzo, since there was no way in Hell you would go back to Andrew.
At Mary and Lorenzo's doorstep...
You knocked and waited patiently. No answer. You knocked again. And yet again no answer.
"AHHHHHHHH!" you were so flustered and angry. This was definitely not your day. As a matter of fact, it has not been your last few years really. Ever since you found that book, it all went downhill. Then, a beacon of hope appeared as you walked off the doorstep. You could see Jack walking down the street. "Yes!" you thought. You ran up behind him and hesitantly poked his shoulder. He instantaneously unsheathed his sword. You panicked and fell backwards.
"Always on the bloody street" you said.
"We meet again lass!" he said. "Terribly sorry for this misunderstanding. You know, pirate. Can't take me chances" by this point, you two had acquired many looks from the people around you. He gave you his hand.
"Change your mind then?" he asked. You, not wanting the curse to screw this up for you, just linked arms with him and walked with him. Then you saw something. It was Melquiades! He winked at you and mouthed something like "Find the book with him" then eyed Jack. You thought you were hallucinating again. You asked Jack if he could see Melquiades, but by that time it was too late. Jack eyed you like you were some kind of visionary.
"I think a drink will do you some good" he said, and laughed. You smiled. You must have been hallucinating. If not, you would have to tell Jack about the curse. What would happen then? Would he help you? Would he leave you here to live an utterly horrible life?
What would happen next?
Hey! Please review! Thanks!
