William withdrew his hand from the light and it returned to its normal state.
"What in heaven's name?!" He put his hand back in the light and pulled it back again.
"It's like…a…curse." Amanda's eyes met William as it hit them both. He brought out his coin again and held it in the light. It glowed and a gust of wind went through the room again.
"The coins…they're…cursed." He dropped it on the ground and it didn't bounce. Suddenly, an idea came to Amanda's mind.
"What would Barbossa need to do to lift this curse?" William leaned against the bars of the cell, thinking of a way.
"I suppose that he would have to put all of the coins back into the chest and put it back where it came from." Amanda smiled at the answer and picked up the coin from the ground.
"Then we will send this coin away. Barbossa deserves to be cursed after what he did to…" She stopped and tears filled her eyes when she thought of Jack. "Go away. Just please, go away." William put her food in front of the cell and left. In her moment of pain, a song came to her mind and she sang it.
"Why should I feel discouraged,
And why should the shadows come,
And why should my heart feel so lonely,
And long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion,
My constant friend is He,
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me,
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
His eye is on the sparrow,
I know he watches me,
I sing because I'm happy,
I sing because I'm free,
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know he watches me.
His eyes are on Jack Sparrow…" she added to the end and sank down in her cell.
[Yah, I know. It's not historical. But I like it!]
After her song was over, she ate the food that William left for her.
"Hold on Jack, hold on," she said, hoping that he was still alive.
At the moment, Jack was on his island drinking away the pain that he felt.
"Hold on Amanda, hold on."
