~*~disneychic89~*~ Exaclty! I know what you mean and I also wondered why they didn't include that! That's why I'll leave the end of this with a scene that leaves Boot-Strap's fate open for the sequal of POTC. I can't tell you what it is but you'll see after a few more chapters.

~*~ And you don't seem to understand

A shame you seemed an honest man

And all the things you hold so dear

Will turn to whisper in your ear

And you know what they say might hurt you

And you know that it means so much

And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling

I am fading

I am drowning

Help me to breathe~*~ -Duvet, Lain, Serial Experiment's theme.

In memory of Boot-Strap Bill....but is he really dead? We won't know until POTC 2.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Dislcaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean or anything you see here, however I do own a few characters who were not mentioned in POTC.

Notes: Hey! I hope this chapter isn't too long or short. There's more Jack and Boot-Strap, yet sadly Bill won't be in here much after this chapter...damn Barbossa!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Boot-Strap Bill walked below deck a few minutes later, it was dimly lit by only a few candles, the wax left to carelessly drip onto the wooden table. The crew chucked another medallion back into the chest, they looked angry and at the same time disappointed.

"There's still at least twenty missing" Twigg said as he replaced the lid over the chest with a sigh.

"Aye, and by now they would be gone, a whole bunch of ships just left the port" Pintel said as he entered the room and stood behind Boot-Strap, he then looked out the window,"It's strange aint it? It feels like somethin's pulling us out towards the sea"

"Tha's because it's the curse, the gold calls to us" Boot-Strap said, just then Barbossa entered.

"Gents, we're going out ter sea!" Barbossa shouted, at once the crew members ran up onto the deck and began preparing the ship for departure, Boot-Strap managed the sails with Bo'sun

"Where be our firs' stop Barbossa?" Reghetti asked.

"The Isle De Meurta" Barbossa said, Reghetti looked at him as if he had gone mental, that was the one place he really didn't want to return to.

"Why should we go back there?" Pintel asked, his voice filled with confusion.

"No one besides Jack and the rest of this crew knows where it is, Jack's dead so that jus' leaves us. The treasure is safer there" Barbossa then sniggered,"Or though I don't know the exact location, I have a pretty good idea where the Isle De Meurta is"

"That's not true" Boot-Strap said, Barbossa eyed him questionably,"...We don't know if Jack's dead..."

A few hours later they had arrived at the Isle, they deposited the gold and then decided to spend the night there in the caves. Had the cursed pirates been able to feel cold and warmth, they would have noted that the caves were very chilly indeed. Boot-Strap went up to Barbossa, hoping that this time he would finally agree to his terms. Most of this cave was in shadow, very dark, besides the place where the crew had set up lamps with yet more candles.

"Barbossa" Boot-Strap waited until he had Barbossa's full attention,"This is my last request, let me bring back Jack to the crew"

Barbossa put on his most serious face, stroking his beard, pretending to think for a minute before speaking,"Mmm..no!" Boot-Strap glared at him with hatred before stalking off after muttering "Fine" to the so-called-captain. He waited until the rest of the crew was asleep before sneaking onto the Pearl.

He quickly drew up the anchor and hoisted the sails, it was going to be hard to practically commandeer this ship by himself, not to mention from right under the nose of the rest of the crew. Just as Boot-Strap had reached the helm, the crew had appeared, climbing up and over the sides, surrounding Bill.

Barbossa chuckled a bit,"Dear, dear William Turner- Boot-Strap, did yeh really think yeh could get away that easily?" The rest of the crew sniggered before Barbossa continued,"Honestly, yer too bloomin' daft! Yer just like Jack, an' being like Jack will get you nothing"

Bill scowled,"Being like Jack will get you friends yeh can trust!"

Barbossa sniggered that stupid grin again,"Awww isn't tha' touching boys?, An' I would have believed it, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn' trust you, I dun think you can trust anyone who tries to steal yer ship, ey maties?"The crew all laughed and nodded in agreement, "Throw 'im in the brig!"

Bo'sun forcefully grabbed Boot-Strap, he took him below and threw him straight in the brig, laughing with his very deep laugh as he then left Boot-Strap hit the wooden floor with a thud, he ran at the bars and scowled after Bo'sun. About an hour later Bo'sun returned, Boot-Strap stood but was left helpless as Bo'sun managed to tie his arms together, Bo'sun then dragged him up onto the deck, where the rest of the crew were waiting with their swords withdrawn. Bill noticed an oddly placed cannon which sat in the middle of the deck.

"Bo'sun, bring 'im over 'ere!" Barbossa shouted, Bo'sun complied and Barbossa began tying the lace from Bill's boots tightly to the cannon,"Look at this lads! Bill's got 'imself in a right mess now! There's a cannon attached to Boot-Straps, boot-straps!"

There was a roar of laughter from the crew, Reghetti giggled instead and repeated what Barbossa had said. All of this only made Bill madder, the thought of Barbossa humiliating him.

"Barbossa! You bastard!" Boot-Strap shouted as he tried to squirm free,"The lot of you deserve to be cursed and remain cursed forever! You low life mangy cads! You deserve Jack's fate, not him!"

"Well now Bill, I was going to leave this with no hard feelings....oh well, buh-bye Bill" Barbossa said as Bo'sun and Pintel gave the cannon a huge push, which sent it rolling over the edge of the ship, Bill was dragged along behind it, dragged down to the deepest depths of the ocean, to Davie Jone's Locker.

[On the island again with Jack]

Jack had soon fallen asleep after drinking around five bottles of rum, the empty bottles lay scattered around him, along with the few remaining full ones. Little did Jack know that when he awoke there would be a surprise waiting for him. Jack began to stir was his sleep, muttering something that sounded like "And then they made me their chief"

"Who do yeh think he is?" Said a voice, Jack sat up immediately and looked at the small crew of men that stood in front of him. There were dressed oddly, their clothes looked a bit like pirate clothing but on the other hand it demanded respect as if they were officers of the Birtish fleet.

"Who are you?" Jack asked in disbelief that he wasn't the only one on this little island that he had re-named 'Hell'.

"Cap'n Willas Weranty" Said the sailor-captain that stood in front of him, he held out his hand and helped Jack to his feet. Jack looked at the captain, he was wearing blue clothes, underneath the jacket he had on, he wore a white t-shirt. In his hand was a hat -Jack's hat,"I suppose this be yours?"

"Aye, it is" Jack said, The captain in front of him handed him his hat.

"What's yer name?" Willas asked.

"Captain Jack Sparrow" Jack said as he placed his three-cornered hat on top of his red bandanner-covered head. Then he shook hands with the captain and noticed the mark on his arm, a "P" was marked on it, the mark of a pirate, Jack also had the same mark on his wrist, just below his tattoo of a sparrow flying over the ocean in front of the sun. Jack liked his tattoo, it reminded him of what he valued most, freedom."Tell me Captain Weranty, what brings yeh here to this god-fersaken island?"

"God-forsaken to some, but for us.. this is the place we always stop" One of the crew members said, Wallis chuckled.

"Right you are Tellamore" He said,"You see Jack-"

"Captain -if yeh don't mind"

Wallis smiled,"Aye, Captain Jack, we use this island as a cache"

"Oh, so yer the Rum Runners then?" Jack asked, sounding like an exited child on Christmas day.

"Aye, so then what brings yeh here to drink all me profit?" Wallis asked, Jack was surprised at his tone, he didn't seem angry or sad, yet neither did he sound too happy.

"Mutainy" Was the short answer that Jack gave him, the crew that Jack had forgotten, gasped at the sound of the word. Mutainy was one of the worst acts a pirate could cause, it was classed as barbaric and in-humane.

"Well Jack, we've just got to load up this 'ere ship with a few barrels an' then we're off to Tortuga," Wallis said, at the name 'Tortuga' Jack's head snapped up to look at Wallis with wide eyes,"Yeh see, I couldn't bring me entire crew this time, which means we're short of er- staff....If yeh help us load it up, I garentee yeh a nice little trip over to Tortuga, do we have an accord?"

Jack jumped at the deal,"We have an accord!" Jack shook Wallis' hand again. A few minutes later they were loading up the rum onto the ship, it was obviously named after the crew, or vice versa, because the ship was named 'Rum Runners'. Jack's thoughts were proved wrong, he thought that this work would be easy but it turned out that all the bending and lifting weren't as easy as he once thought it to be. Never the less Jack continued loading the rum, thinking only of the heaven he would be heading towards in a matter of minutes.

Sure enough, not too long later, the rum was loaded and the Rum Runners set out, sailing across the horizon and to Tortuga.
