Chapter 22
Dis: I own NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........BUT I WANT JOHNNY DEPPS OSCAR***!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack stood at the helm looking blankly at the sea in front of him. His felt numb to everything around him. He couldn't feel the cool breeze or the mist from the sea. All he felt was the pain of losing everything he held dear to him. The Pearl, Anamaria, Angeline. Those three things were all he cared about and Norrington had taken them away. He looked at the Commodore standing behind him polishing his gun as if it was a sign that he, the Captain of the most feared ship in the Caribbean, was forbidden to move from the wheel. Jack sneered at him before turning back to face the sea in front of him. Norrington had banned him from moving from that very spot. He was not allowed to talk to anyone unless Norrington approved and if he failed to obey, Angeline and Anamaria would be shot right before his eyes. The gun that Norrington was holding was the only thing that restrained Jack from steering the Pearl back to Tortuga.
Jack turned as he heard footsteps approach him. The young Turner boy stood before him. His face was burdened with sadness. Jack nodded to him in greeting and he nodded back. Norrington cleared his throat behind them causing the boy to turn. "Young Mr. Turner, may I help you?"
Alex shrugged, "I was hoping to relieve you of your watching duties so that you could rest. We are nearing Port Charles, are we not? And you'll need full strength to command the ship once we get there."
"Why how thoughtful of you, Alexander. But I must question your feelings toward Mr. Sparrow here. As he is your... friend's father." Norrington said pausing before saying the word friend as he did not know what to call the young girl locked in the brig.
" That may be true, but I have no feelings toward the man. He almost got my parents killed the last time he was with them." Alex said looking at Jack's back which was to him now. Jack smiled to himself, the boy was awfully good at lying. Either that or Norrington was easily tricked.
"Good point. Well then here is my gun. You are to guard Mr. Sparrow here with it." Norrington said turning on his heal and heading out to the Captain's cabin. Alex was shocked that Norrington had given in so easily. He must have been really tired, Alex thought to himself before looking at the gun he held in his hands. He carefully leaned the gun against the ship's rail and dusted his hand off as though it had been poisonous. He then walked next to Jack, "You know I didn't mean that."
Jack looked at him with an eyebrow slightly raised, "Boy, I think I know well enough when someone's lyin'. Dontcha think?"
"Yes. Anyway that's not what I came here to tell you."
"Then what did you come up here to tell me?"
"I talked to Angeline." Alex said in a sad tone.
"Did ye really?" Jack said trying to hide his emotions from the young boy, "And what did the girl say?"
"She said she was ready to die, that she wasn't scared."
Jack chuckled to himself. He knew better than anybody that she was scared out of her mind, "Did she now?"
"You don't seem worried by this at all." Alex said in an angry voice. This was his daughter they were talking about. He could at least pretend to care!
"You don't miss a thing." Jack said sarcastically.
"Do you not care about your own daughter?" Alex said his voice in an angry whisper.
"Don't ye dare say that I don't care for me daughter boy!' Jack said angrily. 'I care for her more than I care for meself, so don't ye be tryin' to say tha'"
"Then why aren't you worried?" Alex said contradicting him.
"Just because ye can't see tha' I'm worried, doesn't mean tha' I'm not. I'm not a bloody eunch who goes around freely displaying his emotions like ye!"
"What's that supposed to mean!"
"Ye know bloody well what that means!" Jack said his voice raising.
"Do not make the mistake of thinkin' ye are the only one that cares for 'er, boy. Because it ain't true." Jack said gripping the wheel as tightly as he could so that he would not strangle the boy.
"At least she knows that I care for her!" Alex at him.
Will heard the commotion from his place on deck and rushed to where his son and Jack stood arguing.
"What in bloody hell is going on here?" Will said standing in between his son and Jack
"He started it." Jack said under his breath. Will looked from Jack to Alex and then back to Jack. He knew the two were fighting over Angeline. He could see it in Jack's eyes that he wasn't ready to let her go, yet and Alex didn't appear to be helping the situation.
"Alex, I need you to go to the crew's cabin and stay with them down there." Will said in a low whisper to his son.
"But dad!" Alex said angrily.
"Would you just go before he bloody strangles you?" Will said pointing to Jack. Alex stomped down the stairs and into the crew's cabin, slamming every door behind him.
Jack put his head on the wheel tiredly and slamming it repeatedly against it. His life had turned from good to bad in a manner of seconds. He had had his daughter in his arms for the first time since she was young, his mortal enemy lost to Davy Jone's locker, one minute and the next he stood at the wheel, himself and his daughter sentenced to death and his Pearl being forced to go to the place they would die. It wasn't so bad that he was going to be hanged, he had been sentenced before after all, the worse part was that his daughter was scared and he couldn't be there to comfort her.
Will looked at his friend in front of him. Jack was obviously not in a good mood and he was sure Alex didn't help him feel better. He placed a comforting arm on Jack's shoulder. Jack straightened himself out and gave Will a smile, "The boy is damn lucky you cut in because he would be dead now."
Will smiled, "You'd die before your stroke fell."
"Is that so?' Jack said cocking an eyebrow, 'A lil' over protected there, eh?
"Aren't all fathers?" Will said shrugging.
"No, I haven't been.' Jack said looking down. 'I haven't really been a father to her...at all."
"What do you mean? You were just about to kill my son because you care for her so much yet you say your not a father to her?"
"The girl is almost sixteen, and I 'aven't hugged 'er since she was small.' Jack said ashamed of himself,
'I 'aven't made any signs of affection towards 'er either. Today was one of the first times. Couldn't ye tell she was shocked? A father is someone who is there for their kid, who hugs them and tells them that they love 'em. And not once in the 10 years she's been on me ship, 'ave I said that to 'er. Not once." Jack said shaking his head.
"You must call her, luv, eh?" Will said trying to cheer his friend up.
" 'S not the same, and ye know it, Will. I call everyone, luv."
"She knows it Jack, I'm sure she does."
"Yeah, but I still wish I could've tol' 'er tha' afore this mess, ye know?"
"At least she has had you with her, I mean you've been there for her."
"I saw her bein' born. 'N then I left, back on ta the Pearl, as always. I left her 'n Ana 'n Spain. I tol' Ana I would come back for her when the kid was old 'nough to sail. Ana said that'd be when she was four, at least. So true to me word, I came back for them. Ana was waiting at the docks by herself and I panicked. Ana smiled 'n called for 'er 'n I remeber this small lil' girl runnin' up to 'er.' Will looked at Jack who was smiling brightly. 'Ana spoke to 'er in Spanish, 'splainin' that I was 'er dad I guess. 'N she jus' ran up screamin' 'Papi!' and 'ugged me."
"Just like that?" Will said stunned, little kids weren't usually open to those ideas
"Jus' like tha'."
"Then what happened?" Will said wanting to know more.
"Then we set sail. For the first few days I couldn't understand the girl. The little she spoke, she spoke in Spanish. Bloody hell, it took weeks for Ana to teach me Spanish and to teach 'er English as well. And even then she had an accent!" Jack said chuckling to himself.
"Can she still speak Spanish?"
"Course she can. She don't like to much. But every so often I can 'ear her chatting away with 'er mum in Spanish, 'oping, tha' I can't understand them. And I can't so it all works out." Will laughed.
"Did you ever go back? To Spain I mean."
"Course we did. Angeline's got a friend there and Ana's got family there. Every year back to the in-laws."
"I know how you feel."
"You got it worse though, the bloody governor! I would kill 'em and take 'is position."
Will chuckled, "It wouldn't be that bad if he wasn't always pestering Alex."
"Bout what?"
"Taking his position. Alex won't do it though, he isn't..."
"Old on jus' a sec there Will!" Jack said a finger on his chin pensively, "I got a plan!"
