Less than twenty minutes later Barbossa had returned with the rest of the crew, they all stood on deck looking around at each other in shock. They could not believe what they were seeing, skeletons, they were all just a bunch of bones that could walk and talk.
"So the medallions really are cursed!" One of the crew members shouted, Boot-Strap nodded.
"Aye! ...Barbossa you bloody liar! You were the one who convinced us there'd be no curse!" He shouted, the other pirates cheered in agreement,-Or though it was a cheer of anger..- saver Barbossa who just scowled.
"Oh no no no , it was the lot of you who all said that yeh didn't believe in curses and what not, yeh can't blame me fer such a thing!" Barbossa shouted back.
"Why you stinking cad!" Shouted Twigg, unshackling his sword and advancing on Barbossa, ready to kill at will, but Boot-Strap took a step forward and crossed his blade over Twigg's.
"Are you sure yeh want to be killing the Captain" Boot-Strap said the last word as if it was a curse its self, Twigg nodded and Bill with-drew his sword, allowing Twigg to advance forward and bury his sword into Barbossa's chest.
Twigg stood with his sword embedded in Barbossa, but Barbossa was looking around as if nothing had happened, Twigg removed the sword.
"Curse this bloody curse!" Shouted Pintel, then he had a confused look on his face before turning to Bill,"So? How do we get rid of it?"
Boot-Strap lead the crew down below deck and to the empty golden chest, He ran his fingers over the markings on the sides before spotting the lid and going over to have a closer look. On the golden lid someone had scratched in an inscription.
"The full moon shows you for what you be,
For the gold you took your life you must pay,
Unless the gold is returned
There's a lesson that must be learn
The blood needs to be repaid
If you ever want to enjoy the break of day" Boot-Strap read out loud, for he was fortunate enough to know how to read.
"And what does that mean Bill?" Barbossa asked.
"Simple,"Boot-Strap answered as he made a gesture with his hand, alot like Jack does,"We return the coins and pay the blood and then the curse is lifted. Except we need all 882 pieces back and I suppose most of you have spent yours already...?"
The pirates all nodded and scowled, they had all spent alot of the gold on things such as whores and rum, now they would have to get the gold back fast.
"Barbossa, I'll make you a deal aye? You let me bring Jack back and I'll let yeh keep her place as Cap'n" Boot-Strap said, holding out a hand for Barbossa to shake, Barbossa ignored it as he returned the coins that he had left, spilling a bit of bloody over them.
He then let out a cold laugh,"Bill, I told yeh, I'm not lettin' Jack come back and secondly, I'm the cap'n either way so your deal is no good to me" He then walked away, leaving Bill to scowl and cuss after him.
Boot-Strap then went and sat down on a barrel up on deck, he pulled out his pouch of coins and held one in his hand.
[Flash-Back: In a bar with Jack a few months ago, before they had gone after the gold]
"Here we are" Jack said as he plunked two pints of rum on the table, he slid one to Boot-Strap,"Boot-Strap, when we get a whole lot of treasure, we can continue sailing around the whole Caribbean! We'll go where we want, when we want, it'll be jus' like freedom!"
"Aye 'cause-"Boot-Strap said, then he and Jack finished the sentence together,-"That's what a ship really is"
"An' what about that son of yours ey?" Jack asked as he took a swiff of rum before putting the empty pint back down on the table.
"William?" Boot-Strap asked as he looked up from counting his money,"He's livin' with his mother, you know tha' Jack"
"Aye...William Turner, yeh named him af'er yerself?" Jack inquired, sounding curious.
"It was 'is mother's idea. O' course he doesn' know I'm a pirate though, told his mother to tell 'im I'm a merchant sailor" Boot-Strap said, then he and Jack chuckled a bit,"I plan on going to see 'im one day, maybe even bring 'im along and make a pirate out of 'im!, But 'e might not agree to that"
"You could always jus' send 'im some treasure or somethin' of the sort" Jack said with his most famous smile,"Kids love treasure"
[End of Flash-Back]
[With Jack on the island]
Jack sat on the sand looking out over the ocean's horizen, he could see no ships at sail. All around was ocean, the only other land he could see was some rocks off in the distance, Jack sighed, "Isle De Muerta, where the treasure was...but now it's on the Pearl with stinkin' Barbossa and 'is crew, saver Will, he wasn' all that bad....until he let Barbossa leave me stranded... bloody pirates"
With that Jack got up and went to look around the tiny island, there were palm trees, there was even a little bit of grass but nothing could cheer him up right now, not even-
"RUM!" Jack shouted in glee as he hopped down into a small den just big enough for one person to enter,"Mothers love, I'M SAVED!" Jack took as many bottles of rum as he could (-nine...don't ask how-) and carried them outside the den, then plunked down under a tree and started drinking,"Well if I die anytime soon at least I'll die the way any respectable pirate wants- full of rum!" Jack shouted, apparently to himself before laughing and drinking some more.
[Back with Boot-Strap]
Boot-Strap laughed mentally,'Yeah Jack, tha'll make up fer all the years of 'is life I've missed, -givin' Will treasure-... but I suppose it's not like I can do anythin' else fer him' He thought as he pocketed the coin he was holding, then he tipped the rest of the coins from his bag back into the chest, spilling blood from his hand's freshly cut wound, over the ones he had just put in.
He then decided to go for a bit of a walk around the small town, by now the sun was rising and the moon had disappeared, a voice stopped him.
"Boot-Strap where are yeh going?" It was Barbossa,"yer not going to spend any gold are yeh?"
"No, I've put all me gold in the ches'!" Bill said as he continued walking, he was in somewhat a trance like state as he walked, thinking about his son and Jack. His son was in England, living with his mother, Bill hadn't seen his son since he was born, but that's really the life of a pirate, you tend to leave your family behind and look ahead at the other things you want in life. A different voice interrupted his thoughts.
"England! I've always wanted to go there! I can't believe I finally get to visit" Yelled the voice of a lady, Boot-Strap got out the coin and looked from the lady to the coin, back and forth before going over to her.
"'Scuse me" Bill said as he tapped the lady on the shoulder, she squealed as she turned around.
"I'm not one of your women!" She shouted, Boot-Strap removed his hand from her shoulder and showed her the medallion.
"I know yer not, -yeh don't look the part" Bill said as he eyed her suspiciously, he then received a slap across his face,"Okay, I probably deserved that,-but can yeh do me a favor? Me son lives in England, could yeh give this to 'im?" Boot-Strap showed her the medallion then gave her directions to where his son was supposed to be, and told her his name, William Turner, apparently he was in the same town that she was going to stay in, coincidence. The lady agreed and took the medallion, then boarded the ship. Slowly Bill made his way back to the Pearl.
