Disclaimer: I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean. (I swear, they make you put these up just so you'll feel bad -_-)
Thanks for all the wonderful reviews!! I was actually supposed to update yesterday but I forgot and lately I've just been really busy. I've been working on two other fanfics, I just seem to be getting lots of inspiration lately. Please check out my other fanfics, they're both yaoi, one is a Demon Diary fic and the other a Kingdom Hearts fic. Once again, thank you all for the reviews!
Warning: This fic contains yaoi(slash), meaning there are male/male relationships. In other words, if you don't approve of two guys making out(or more), then please don't read this. I'm warning you now!!! Turn back before it's too late.
Please read the above warning.
Pairings: Jack/Will and another pairing soon to come.
"So, tell my why you came," Will prompted Jack. He was beginning to get very anxious. Why would Jack come here all of a sudden, risking his life and the Black Pearl?
"Well," Jack's voice hushed. He brought his face closer to Will and looked around, as if to make sure no one else was there, "it's about ye old man."
"My father?" Will cocked head, a confused look on his face. He had found out a while ago that his father was dead. Been dead for a while. Killed by the same pirates who left Jack on an island to die. That was maybe the only thing Jack and Will had in common, the hatred for those pirates. Of course, most of them right now were either dead or locked up. Will had never really known his father, but from what he heard, he looked just like his father.
"Aye, your father. Ol' Bootstrap Bill," Jack smiled slightly as he said the name, "He may still be alive."
"Wh-what?" Will stared at Jack. Alive? But he had heard with his very own ears that those pirates had killed him. Was it a lie? Did they say it only to anger him? Alive? How could that be?
"Don't get too excited, this was only a rumor I heard," Jack motioned for Will to sit down.
"So you think it's not true?" Will sat down at the foot of the bed, careful not to sit on Jack.
"I don't know. I don't really think anything of it right now," Jack lied. He had been just as excited when he first learned about this. But alas, no good could come out of thinking too seriously of a rumor. Sure they all had a bit of truth in them, but the question was, how much? Placing your trust in a rumor was not a wise thing to do, and Jack certainly had no intentions of doing so.
"Where did you hear it from?" Will asked. He had many other questions just waiting to come out, but he decided it best to just ask one at a time.
"I heard it a while ago. Do you remember that time I was held prisoner by Barbosa? I heard it then, but I thought it was just to mock me. But..." Jack trailed off. He thought back to when he was imprisoned on his own ship, the Black Pearl. The pirates Pintel and Ragetti were telling him about how Bootstrap Bill was still alive. Then they said that the next time they met up with Bill Turner, they'd make sure he was dead.
"Ol' Bootstraps still alive, from what I 'ear," Pintel said. He was looking at Pintel, but it was obviously directed to Jack.
"Alive? That's a good one!" Ragetti laughed.
"I'm trying to get some sleep, will you two shut up?" Jack opened his eyes. He was sitting on the floor, his back against the wall.
"You know what, Captain Jack Sparrow? Next time we see Bill Turner, we'll make sure he's dead," Pintel grinned.
"We'll make sure," Ragetti mimicked.
"We all know he's dead, now If you don't mind, I'd love to get some sleep," Jack wasn't one to dwell too much in the past, unless it had anything to do with his precious Black Pearl. The past. What good would it do to worry about what has already happened? Jack sighed. These pirates knew what Bill Turner had meant to him, and they were trying to play mind games with him. They were toying with him. They were trying to use the past against him.
"Sweet dreams," Pintel laughed cruelly
"But?" Will asked. Jack had a lost look in his eyes.
"Wha?" Jack blinked, back to reality, "See lad, a while ago, I learned that Pintel and Ragetti were still alive. I figured I'd pay them a visit. They were locked up in a prison pretty close from here. I was able to sneak in."
"What did they say to you?" Will could see Jack had something on his mind.
"They said that your father was still alive. They said they knew where he was. That was all a few nights ago. I knew you'd be interested so I rushed here as soon as I could," Jack frowned. Pintel and Ragetti knew him too well. They knew how to make him mad, and they used that to their advantage.
"Where is he? Did they tell you?" Will urged. The way Jack said it, it sounded as if he really believed it. Like the truth was too much.
"Of course not. They're not that stupid. I don't know what sort of game they're playing," Jack laid back on his pillow.
"So you think they are telling the truth?" Will could see Jack was very upset. It surprised him, in a way. Not many people could get to Jack, who was always so cool and under control.
"I don't know," Jack muttered. He really wasn't sure. He was actually dying to know. He'd been up for the past few nights trying to sort everything out. It was like a puzzle, but none of the pieces fit together.
"I for one would like to know," Will was determined. If may be just a rumor, but the curse of the Black Pearl had also been 'just a legend'.
Jack looked at Will. God, he looks just like him. It's not just the face, he acts like him too, Jack thought, maybe that's why I can't stop thinking about Ol' Bootstrap.
"I want to go ask them," Will got up from the bed.
"Ask whom?" Jack sat up.
"Pintel and Ragetti."
Jack sighed. If Will was anything like his father, he'd be hard to stop once he made a decision. And as far as Jack was concerned, Will was just like his father.
Short chapter, I know. Actually...a really short chapter. But like I said before I've been quite busy, but at least I'm updating every week right? -_-;; Well, please review, and I promise I'll get a head start on the next chapter so that it'll be longer and more interesting. Well, at least now you all know what Jack wanted to tell Will, although I bet a few of you already guessed by the title, which I hope by now makes sense? Wow that was a long sentence...
