Chapter Three: The ship moves

The daytime was fading into night before Jack finally found a ship they could sail with. Unfortunately, along with this ship, included another sailor. A boy, about sixteen or seventeen years of age, would be sailing with the crew in search of the Black Pearl.

"Do you own a name, lad?" Jack asked him.

"Aye, sir, I do. Paul Marketey." the boy said. P>

"Well Anna, looks like you'll have a friend to sail with." Will commented. Anna smirked at him and turned away. She went to join Elisabeth and Annemarie by the side of the ship.

"Alright men! And, women. We've done this before. Except this time Barbossa is dead." Jack announced.

Anna's hands began to tremble. She suddenly knew who Barbossa was. It all tied in at that moment.

"Barbossa is alive." She said. She looked up at Jack. He glared back at her in amazement. He walked over to her and got in her face.

"Look missy, five minutes ago you had no clue who Barbossa was. How all of a sudden do you just know he's alive?"

"I saw him. Go to the cave. I'll bet my life he's there, him and your ship." Anna said.

"The only way Barbossa could be alive is if someone took a piece, or more, of that Aztec gold." Will said, standing on the other side of a barrel.

"Aztec gold?" Anna said. Her violet eyes flickered. She bore them into Jack's eyes and he had to close them. He turned away.

"Yes, love. Aztec gold. Seems to be a specialty with pirates in the Caribbean, wouldn't you agree?" Jack paused to come back to her face and stare her in the eyes.

"If anyone stole any of this bloody gold the cursed pirates come to life again." Anna gave him a puzzled look.

"That's bad." Jack said.

"Oh." Anna said. She looked down to the deck as Jack finally moved away from her and they began sailing.

Paul was kept busy by Jack and when he finally was finished with what orders Jack had handed him, he sat by Anna, who was scrubbing the deck. She gave him several stares with her burning violet eyes, but they seemed to have no effect on him. He kept rambling on and on about his family and past. It was rather boring. Even Jack was getting tired of hearing it. But luckily for Anna, Paul began to follow Jack around, telling him all the stories he had heard about the adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow.

"When I was a lad, my father told me about when you escaped from the deserted island! I think most of what he told me were confused endings and middles and such from the story being passed around so much! Oh Captain Sparrow, could you tell me what really happened? I'd never forget it in my whole life! Please will you...." Paul's mouth was clamped shut by Jack's hand.

"Look, boy. I didn't expect to have to tell you bedtime stories while you were on this ship. If you need a bedtime story, ask Anna. I'll bet you anything she's got a lot of them about rum carts." Jack said.

"No offense Captain Sparrow, but I don't really think Anna likes me all that much. She gives me these hateful stares with those...beautiful, bright, wonderful eyes. Captain...could you not tell her I said this...but I think I love her." Paul said.

"Well...alright. But I can't make any promises. After all, I'm a pirate." Jack replied. HE headed to the lower deck to tell Anna what Paul had said.

Anna was sitting on her bed with the coin. She gently rubbed it with her thumb and stared at it. She looked out the window. The moon was out. There was a knock on her door.

"Anna? Are you in there?" It was Jack. Anna quickly stuffed the coin into her dress and opened the door.

"Um, yeah?" She said.

"Are you alright? You look rather pale to be from the Caribbean. Maybe we should get you out in the sun more." Jack said.

"Oh I'm fine. It's just the moon, I guess." Anna replied.

"What moon?" Jack said, looking around her room from the outside. The room was dark except for a small lamp lit on the table by the bed.

"I'm afraid of the moon, remember?" Anna said.

"Right. Oh and by the by, Paulie boy's in love with you. Just thought you ought to know." Jack said, smiling.

"Thank you Jack. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to finish writing my will before our wedding." Anna said bluntly.

Jack, still smiling, walked back up to the top deck and back to the wheel again. Anna secretly took out the coin again. She stared at it, rubbing it again and again with her thumb. There was a rumbling sound on the water. Everyone on the top deck froze and looked around. Then they all looked over to Jack. He was staring over the side of the ship at the water. The ship suddenly sailed into a patch of fog that hadn't been there before.

"Could these waters be cursed as well?" Mr. Gibbs said aloud, without realizing he had.

"What happened?" Will asked softly.

Jack looked around through the fog, squinting to see through. There was a huge rumbling sound and the whole crew leaned over the side of the ship and saw tall black sails. It was déjà vou all over again for Jack, Elisabeth, and Will. Anna quickly put the coin away again and went up to the deck. She looked out to the ship that sailed alongside theirs. A sudden cold pushed her back from the side of the ship. No one appeared to be on the ship. Suddenly it occurred to Anna that the ship floating by them was the Black Pearl. But before anyone could do anything, the ship disappeared.

"Were we just imagining we saw the Pearl?" a crewmember asked. Jack looked the man in the eye from where he stood. He flopped down from the platform he stood upon where the ship's wheel was and he slowly walked up to him.

"Sir, do you know any of the stories of the Black Pearl?" he asked.

The man nodded. "I heard about a few from a prison cell, but I doubt they was true. " The crew member asked.

"Well then, whatever tale you've heard of the Pearl…believe it if it involved a scallywag called Barbossa. Savvy?" Jack said.

He walked away again towards Anna, who stood by the trapdoor, pale and clammy. She looked up at him, but instead of seeing her burning eyes, Jack looked into cold, misty ones. She looked almost dead.

"Anna?" Jack said.

"The ship moves." Anna replied. Her gaze turned towards Elisabeth and Will. She stood frozen. Jack stood where he was and repeated her words.

"The ship moves."
