The Cursed Mist : Marooned in Another's Body

PART 4 : A Pirate's Life for Me
++++++++++++++
Will staggered as he walked towards the upper deck. Not only had he gotten the worst body in the Caribbean seas, but he even asked Elizabeth, the only one who truly cared about him, to go away.
"Not only do I have to undo THIS curse and the aztec gold curse, but I have to undo the pain I've brought Elizabeth too." He thought to himself.
What's worse is that he will even have to play the part of Barbossa once they step on Tortuga. Will sighed as he thought of himself: walking, talking and acting like the vilest man he'd ever known. He didn't like it one bit.
And he won't like having Jack walking around in his body too.
Will opened the door to the upper deck and felt the sun against his skin. "Didn't know I'd appreciate sunlight this much." He thought.
Jack saw him and immediately strode towards the young man "Aaaah.Young Will has finally emerged from his meeting with his damsel. I see you two took the time to engage in ---"
Will pushed Jack away. "Don't even think about it!!! It's none of your business!"
"Believe me, boy. I would NEVER think about it!!! You and Elizabeth going at it? In THAT body? That would just be VERY wrong!!! Even for a pirate like m'self. Definitely VERY WRONG." A look of disgust formed on Jack's face.
"Look.This is not the right time to talk about me and Elizabeth!"
Jack slowly paced around Will, as if observing the boy "I see things didn't go well between you and Miss Elizabeth."
Will shot an angry look at Jack . Even until now, it was very weird seeing Jack in his body. Even the fact that he was talking to his image still felt like a bad dream. "As I was saying, me and Elizabeth are none of your business."
The young man stepped up right in front of Jack "Look. You wanted me here to teach me how to act and talk like a pirate. I believe it's about time we get down to business." Will moved his face closer to Jack's and sneered at him.
Jack carefully pushed Will away as he himself took a step back "Too close. Tooooo close. Careful with the attitude, Will. We don't want you really turning into Barbossa now, do we?". Jack smiled at Will as he took a step back, observing the boy once again.
The captain looked at Will from head to toe "Hmmm.Looks like this is going to take a while."
Will rolled his eyes and shrugged. "Look, if acting and talking like an evil pirate is the only thing I have to do, then I guess I can do that without your help."
Jack smiled and started pacing back and forth on the deck, looking at Will every now and then. "Oh I'm not sure about that, young Will. You see, being the perfect evil pirate takes years and years of pillaging, looting and killing. And you, my friend, is not even close to a month. So if I were you, I'd listen to your good friend Jack, that's ME of course, and let him lead you the way to piracy."
Will just stood there staring back at the pacing Sparrow. "So you really think I can't act and talk like Barbossa on my own, eh?"
Jack stopped pacing and turned towards the young man with a mocking smile on his face "Yes. I bet you can't even talk like him!"
"We'll see about that!" Smiled Will.
A few minutes later.
The entire crew had gathered on the main deck of the Interceptor after hearing an announcement from their self-proclaimed captain --- Jack Sparrow.
Jack made his way to the side of the stairs that led to the upper deck with the wheel. He then turned towards the crew in front of him.
"Pirates and gentlemen, I believe you already know of our little brush with the cursed --- mist. Because of that, our friend Will Turner had decided upon himself that he can act AND talk like Barbossa!!!"
The entire crew suddenly burst into laughter, while Anamaria and Mr. Gibbs looked on.
Jack pulled out his sword and pointed at the upper deck. "With great honor and pleasure, I bring to you, OUR Barbossa!!!"
After Jack said Barbossa's name, Will suddenly emerged from the upper deck with a gun and sword in hand. And with his best pirate-like voice, he said : "Um.People of Tortuga. I am Captain Barbossa of the Black Pearl!!! I have come to this --- village --- er --- town, to steal and pillage your goods!!!! Those who won't comply will be sent to Davey James' locker!!!"
Jack looked up to him and whispered "Davey Jones! That's Jones!!!"
Will looked down at Jack, pointed a sword at him and shouted back "I don't have to listen to you, you --- scallywag!!! I am THE Barbossa!!! What I say goes!!!"
Jack just yawned and arched an eyebrow.
But young Will kept on going."So I say, surrender now before ---" Will took a step down, but before he could take another one, he tripped and started rolling down the stairs, landing on his back. As soon as he landed, the crew burst out into laughter again as Jack placed a hand on his face, shaking his head from side to side. Will was definitely one disgraceful pirate.
"That hurt." said Will as he tried to stand up.
"You know what? Maybe I should just do all the talking down there instead.." Said Jack as he helped Will up. "After all, I am now the son of Boostrap Bill. It's about time that I, er, I mean YOU end up acting like your father."
"Well I just wish I knew him as much as you did." Will said as he rubbed his back.
Jack brushed Will off and straightened his coat. "Too bad he had to go too soon, eh? Anyway, enough of that. It's about time we gathered the last member of our little party for Tortuga."
"Is Anamaria or Mr. Gibbs coming along?" Asked Will.
Jack turned around toward's the captain's cabin and walked towards it with Will right behind him "Well, Mr. Gibbs will be tagging along, but Anamaria will have to stay on the ship to make sure someone doesn't commandeer it from us while we're gone. But the man I'm referring to is ---"
Jack opened the door to the captain's cabin and there was Barbossa sitting on the farthest side of the table, grabbing and eating as much food and rum as he could. Beside him was Mr. Gibbs and Anamaria who were both keeping a close eye on him.
"HIM?!!!" Will shouted. "First of all, what is he doing out of the brig?! And second, you're giving him what he wants?!!!"
Will kept on eye on Barbossa as the evil pirate (who was now in Jack's body) devoured as much as he could.
A look of disgust formed on Jack's face as he observed Barbossa by the table "Dear God. That man is making me look horrible! Captain Jack Sparrow should never be seen eating and drinking like THAT!"
Barbossa suddenly stopped grabbing the food on the table and then he looked up at Jack. "Dear Jack.You've ALWAYS eaten and drunk like this. As you can see, I'm pretty good at being YOU!". He smiled and then went back to eating and drinking again.
"Why are you letting him eat?!" Asked Will furiously. "He's our enemy for crying out loud!!!"
Jack picked up a piece of bread from the table and bit on it "Well the man has been screaming for food for more than 5 hours! I had to find a way to shut him up. He was starting to get into my nerves. After all, he technically hasn't eaten anything for 10 years." Jack smiled at the thought of how Barbossa had suffered for the past decade.
Will walked to the side of the table and picked up a piece of bread too. "Well now that you've mentioned hunger, I am quite hungry."
"Better eat up, boy" Jack said. "We have a lot to do in Tortuga today."
Jack looked at Anamaria abd Mr. Gibbs "Anamaria, Mr. Gibbs, we're about to leave soon. Barbossa's coming with us. You know what to do."
"Got it, captain!" Said Anamaria as she pulled something out from her pocket.
Barbosssa suddenly dropped everything in his hands "Coming with you?! You never said anything about me coming with you."
Jack smiled at Barbossa as he bit on the bread again "Hey! I didn't give you all that food for nothing, old friend."
Anamaria quickly put a sack over Barbossa's head as Mr. Gibbs quickly chained his hands together.
"What is this, Jack?!!!" Shouted Barbossa. "Get me out of here!!!"
Jack slowly walked towards Barbossa's side "You mutiny-ed against me, you marooned me on a godforsaken spit of land, you practically betrayed me, you killed my friend William Turner and YOU STOLE MY BLACK PEARL!!! And now you're expecting me to treat you with hospitality?!!! I don't think so."
Jack patted Barbossa's shoulder and leaned right next to him, Jack's face inches away from his former-mate's "Welcome aboard the Interceptor by the way."
"Well it's about time you showed that pirate a lesson." Will bit on the last piece of bread on his hand.
Anamaria and Mr. Gibbs pulled Barbossa up from his seat as Jack walked to the door of the captain's cabin. They can still hear Barbossa mumbling as they forcedly pulled him on his feet to follow Jack.
"Well, I believe we're now off to search the city." Jack said. As he leaned against the doorway.
Will walked up to him with a stern look in his face "And remember Jack.We're not here to have fun. We're here to find a cure for this blasted curse we've gotten ourselves into!"
"Oh I know.I know.Uhm." Jack was about to open the door when he turned towards Will again "Are you sure we can't have a little fun? I can make you famous here with this body and ---"
"-NO, JACK!!!" Will cut him off.
"I see the boy has become very fond of me body. Heheheh." Chuckled Barbossa from under the sack.
"Shut up!" Shouted Will.
Jack smoothed his shirt and pushed the door open "Aaaanyway, we better be off. We can't keep Tortuga, and young MASTER WILL here waiting. Heheh---"
As Jack opened the door to the main deck, he was suddenly surprised by the sight of Royal Navy guards walking around the ship as if they were looking for something.
Jack raised his eyebrows and bit his lower lip as he felt trouble in the air. He quickly went back into the captain's cabin and closed the door before any of the guards saw him.
Sweat ran down his forehead "The royal navy is here! News might have reached Port Royale that we've arrived in this place! Thank God they didn't see me." Jack said, with his back against the door.
Anamaria stepped forward "Jack. Why would they catch you if you don't even LOOK like YOU?!!!"
Jack tilted his head with a dumbfounded look on his face "Hm.You're right. Anyway, it looks like we won't be able to go until the navy leaves the Interceptor. After all, the last thing we need right now is trouble. And with Will looking like THAT - " Jack pointed at Will "The guards will surely cause a commission. That means we'll just have to sit and wait, and pray that they don't decide to take the Interceptor back with them, aye?"
Barbossa found the need to speak up "I say we draw our guns and blast them off the ship!"
"Rather tempting..But that is just not my style." Said Jack.
Will looked out the window of the captain's cabin and saw 3 guards escorting Elizabeth out from the lower decks. "Elizabeth." He whispered to himself.
And then he turned towards Jack. "Jack! They're taking Elizabeth!"
