The Cursed Mist : Marooned in Another's Body

PART 6 : Parting Fate
++++++++++++++
"Not in MY body, he ain't!!!" Shouted Barbossa who was now conscious after being knocked out by Anamaria earlier that day. "That boy is going ta make me look all sissy, running around chasing damsels in distress!!! I do have a vile image to uphold, you know!"
"Hey! Yer finally awake?!" Asked Mr. Gibbs as he held on tighter to the bonded Barbossa.
Barbossa grunted as he felt Mr. Gibbs' grip tightened around his wrists "Well it's not my fault you hit like a girl. But then, you ARE under the command of our dear Captain Jack Sparrow --- so I was already expecting that." He snickered.
"He wasn't the one who hit you. I was!" Said Anamaria as she swung the handle of her sword against the back of Barbossa's head, sending the pirate into another unconscious state. "And I don't hit like a girl!" She said as she sheathed her sword back.
Jack's eyes widened as he saw Anamaria hit Barbossa's head hard through the sack. "Hey! Careful with my body!!! I know you love having the perfect opportune to beat ME up, but I need to have it back in top condition after we undo this little curse. So please.A little careful with the body, eh?" Jack smiled and then winked at Anamaria.
Jack suddenly noticed someone missing. He looked around and got a worried look on his face as he placed his hands on his head "WILL!!! Where's Will?!!!".
The captain paced around the ship, as he tried to catch a sight of young Will at the port of Tortuga. "That boy better not drag us into trouble! How many times do I have to tell him to NOT do anything stupid?! Does he even realize that he's now in the body of the most notorious pirate ever?!! Well, next to ME of course.After all, I am THE CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow of the Black Pe---"
Anamaria suddenly saw a familiar form making its way through the crowded streets of Tortuga. "Will?" She thought to herself as her eyes narrowed on the man that was quickly moving farther and farther away into the crowd.
She really wasn't sure if that WAS Will, but with the way the man was moving, it looked like he was in a hurry... The way people looked at him and avoided him with fear in their faces was also a good hint that that was in fact their Will.
Anamaria stepped back and grabbed the worried Jack's shoulder. "Jack!!! I think I just saw Will!!!"
"Where?!!!" Jack shouted, as he looked at the crowded port of Tortuga. "I can't find him anywhere!"
"I saw him running over there!!!" Anamaria shouted as she pointed towards the direction where she saw Will in the crowd. But much to her dismay, she couldn't find Will anymore. "That boy really wants his girl back, doesn't he?"
Jack sighed as he realized that he had to get Will back too "Damn that boy!!! He's going to get me killed someday! Keep an eye on Barbossa and the Interceptor while I chase after our hopeless romantic."
Securing his sword and gun, Jack ran off the Interceptor and into the crowded streets of Tortuga. "Good thing I know exactly where he is going." He muttered "That is of course, if he doesn't get lost going there."
+++++++++++++++
Will ran through the crowded streets as fast as his feet could take him. He wanted her back! It was his fault that she had left. He wasn't even able to say goodbye. Will remembered the pain when he saw her walking away from the Interceptor --- Walking away from his life.
To make matters worse, he even distanced himself from her in their last moment together. He knew that if he doesn't get her back, he will definitely lose her. He knew that someday, he'll see her as the Commodore's wife and regret not taking her back.
He loved her and that was the only thing that mattered to him now.
It was a good thing people paved the way for him as he marched through the streets. He also noticed the scared looks on their faces as they looked at him.
He then stopped on his tracks as he saw the guards disappear from sight. Will swore he saw the guards walking off in this direction..But he had lost them.
"No." He thought to himself.
He had no choice but to ask for directions. "At times like this, I wish I had been here more often." He muttered under his breath. He quickly looked around trying to look for a person who may know something about the place.
Will suddenly stepped in front of a middle-aged woman who was carrying a basket filled with fruits. "Excuse me, ma'am but do you know where ---".
The woman suddenly froze as her face filled with terror. It was like she was going to scream at any moment "P-please don't kill me. Take everything I have!!! Just don't hurt me, Captain Barbossa." She said as her voice shook.
And then the woman suddenly started to ramble on as she begged for her life. Will could feel her body shaking as if she was about to break into tears.
Will tried to calm the woman down "No please. I'm not here to hurt you. I . I just want to know if you've seen a navy ship docked here somewhere."
"Y . yes . navy ship. Um . um. over there." The woman pointed North, her finger still shaking.
"Thank you very much. I appreciate your help." Will said politely, as he ran towards the direction the woman pointed to. Before he could go any further, he suddenly stopped on his tracks and quickly made his way back to the middle-aged woman who was still standing in the crowded street.
He searched his pocket and took our five shillings. "Excuse me, ma'am. But here's five shillings for any trouble I've caused you.". He took the woman's hand and handed her the money. "Good day." He said as he ran off to continue his search for his beloved Elizabeth.
The middle-aged woman just stood there with a shocked look on her face. She couldn't believe what just happened. She looked down and saw the five shillings in her hand. Still at awe, she continued on her way through the crowd.
Will just ran. He wished he could take off his heavy coat and the other ornaments attached to his clothes, but he didn't have anymore time. With every passing moment, Elizabeth was getting farther and farther away from him. Time was definitely not being generous.
"Elizabeth!!!" he shouted as he ran through the crowd, in hopes that she could be out there.
"WILL!!!!"
Will suddenly heard someone call out his name. But it wasn't Elizabeth.It was Jack!!!
Jack pushed his way through the crowd as he pursued Will who was just a couple of meters ahead of him. "Will!!! wait!!!" Jack shouted, with his hand in the air waving at Will.
But Will ignored Jack's plea as he continued to run towards the direction the woman pointed to. "I have to get her back, Jack!!! I have to!!!"
"Then we better get her back together! You'll need my help!!!" Jack shouted as he pushed through the crowded street of Tortuga. "Thank god Will kept that huge hat on!" He muttered.
"You might as well hurry up!!!" Will shouted back, still running. "We don't have enough time!!!". Will didn't even bother to look behind him.
He then stopped in his tracks as he reached a clearing. They've finally reached the other port of Tortuga. He looked around and saw different ships docked, but none of them looked like a navy vessel. "No please..." He whispered.Hoping that the ship Elizabeth was on, still hadn't left.
Jack stopped behind him, panting with his hands on his knees. "Don't ever.EVER run away like that again! What if I hadn't found you?! Have you already forgotten that I am the captain here?!!! Next time, you could at least ask per---"
Will suddenly saw something that looked like a royal navy's flag on the far side of the port. "They're still here!!!" He shouted. Without wasting a second, he ran towards the direction of the navy flag.
Jack frustratingly threw his hands in the air as he saw Will running away "Did you even hear anything that I said a while ago?!!!" He shouted. But he knew he had to follow Will before the boy got them into any more trouble. So he ran after him.
Will kept his eye on the navy flag as he ran towards its direction, with Jack following close behind him.
He would never let anything stand in his way now that he's so close to her. He'll do anything --- even go through hell, just to have her back again.
"ELIZABETH!!!!" he shouted. Will just ran.and ran. He felt his heart beating so fast as each quick breath escaped his lips "ELIZABETH!!!!" He shouted again. Only her name echoed in his mind. He knew she couldn't hear him. But her name gave him strength.
Elizabeth sat on the bed in the room where the guards escorted her to. The room was luxurious ---- Fit for a governor's daughter. But for her, the room was nothing but a prison. Even the ship itself felt like a prisoner's carriage that's on its way to bring her to her fate --- her marriage with Commodore Norrington.
She wanted to cry...
She was on her way home now. But home didn't feel like home anymore. Ever since she met young Will on a ship 8 years ago, he's been the only one who could make her feel at home --- made her feel complete. Whenever she was with him, she didn't feel like a governor's daughter. She felt free.
Elizabeth heard the soldiers scurrying on the main deck as the ship started to move.
This was it. Elizabeth knew she might never see Will again.
And then something reached her ear. She suddenly stood up and looked around the room. She heard someone calling out her name. She didn't know who it was but the voice sounded so familiar..
"Will ---" She whispered.
She quickly ran to one of the windows and looked at the port around her. "Will."
Elizabeth's eyes wandered everywhere, trying to look for the young man. But she didn't see him. Not even a distant image of him. The only thing she saw were the ships docked around the area, most of them blocking her view.
Elizabeth leaned against the glass window as she felt despair filling her heart. Will let her go in the Interceptor. He didn't even run after her. How could he even run after her now?
She moved away from the window and sat back on the bed, realizing the reality --- that Will had let her go. And that she had to let go of him too.
Will still ran, crying out her name. But he felt his knees shake as he saw the navy ship slowly moving away. "No." he whispered.
"NO!!!". It was too late. He wasn't even remotely close to the ship as it started to sail out to sea. "NO!!! ELIZABETH!!!" But he still kept on running. He felt as if he could trip at any moment, but he still ran. He felt his knees weakening, but he still kept on going. "ELIZABETH!!! ELIZABETH!!!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs.
His eyes wandered off at the ship that was already miles away from the port. "NO!!!!".
By the time he reached the area wherein the ship was docked, it was already too far away from his reach. Only his eyes could reach the ship now.
Will clenched his fists tight at the sight of the navy ship's departure. And at that moment, he knew that giving up was not an option. He had to get her back before the ship completely disappeared from sight.
Will feared nothing now. He now has a body that cannot die. He will do anything to have her back in his arms. Even if that means that he has to go through death a hundred times or more.
He kept his eyes on the fleeting ship as he threw off his hat. He quickly unfastened the accessories on his clothing and took of his heavy coat, leaving just his sword and pistol behind.
Will quickly kicked off his boots as he dove into the sea. He was going to swim after that ship. Will knew it was crazy. But he was now an undead zombie. Nothing was crazy for him anymore.
He saw himself moving farther and farther away from the port as he swam for his Elizabeth. He swam like he'd never swam before, pushing and kicking as much of the sea water as he can.
He suddenly noticed a small boat heading towards him from behind. And on it was Captain Jack Sparrow!
"HEY WILLIAM!!!!" Jack shouted as he stirred the boat beside Will. "You were crazy enough for leaving me behind, and even crazier to think that you can SWIM your way to her. You can't do everything by yourself, boy!"
Jack went to the ledge of the boat and pulled Will up. "We'll catch up with them faster using this little baby. Believe me --- it's much faster than SWIMMING!"
Will hoisted himself on the small boat and sat on the deck. He breathed heavily as he tried to regain some of his energy. "Where'd you get the boat, Jack?" He said as he breathed fast and hard.
Jack stepped up to the steering wheel and then looked back at Will "Oh.let's say I. borrowed it from a friend." He smiled and then turned towards the direction of the navy ship.
"You stole it.didn't you?!" Will said as he stood up.
Jack looked back at him again "Is it just me or did you develop short term amnesia? I'm a pirate remember? Stealing is a way of life. Believe me. you'll learn to love it soon enough." Jack smiled again as he continued to steer towards their target.
Will made his way beside Jack. His eyes focused on the navy ship. "So.What now, Jack?"
Jack stared at the distance for a moment, and then turned to face Will.
"What?" Will asked.
Jack just smiled from ear to ear.
Will knew Jack had a good plan this time.
