Chapter 4 - The Nightmare Continues
"Are you sure he's going to be alright?" asked Anamaria as she looked at William. He had finished bandaging Jack's chest by the time that Elizabeth had gotten Anamaria back to consciousness.
"He should be fine," said William as he cleaned his hands and placed the dagger back inside his boot. He had so far managed to keep it hidden from the marines so and was not about to let it be taken from him now.
They had all forgotten about the bullet wound Jack had from protecting Will and it had gotten infection in it. William had to cut it open and let it bleed in order to get it clean. Then he stitched it up and bandaged Jack's chest and back again. Mercifully Jack had fainted as soon as the blade touched his skin. He knew the captain was a hard man but that his body took a severe beating.
Besides, a hot blade was enough to make any man faint from the sudden shock.

"What do you want Jonathan?" snarled Jack as he looked at the man he thought was his and Will's best friend.
"Nothing Jack" he said. "Only the money I was promised for handing you over to Oxford. But I am allowed to have some fun as well" his eyes traveled over to Elizabeth and Anamaria.
"Ye bloody bastard" said Will whom was dragged apart from his father but found himself at gunpoint.
"A ah" said Jonathan as he pointed the pistol at Will "You're in no position to be threatening me Turner." Will just glared at him and looked at Elizabeth. She slowly nodded and they looked at Jack as well.
Before Will could even give a signal the pirate captain lunged at Jonathan and they tumbled to the ground. But Jonathan had no bonds and he jumped from Jack as Will got up as well.
"Will no" yelled Jack as he ran to his friend. A shot sounded and Elizabeth screamed.
"That's for interfering," said Jonathan as he left the two men lying on the ground when he left the room.
"Will" sobbed Elizabeth as William moved to the two men whom were lying on the ground. He gently pulled Jack from Will and gasped. Jack's shirt was stained bright red and so was Will's. He quickly felt for a pulse and sighed as he felt both of them breathing as well. He looked at Jack and found the bullet wound in his friend's chest.
"If the bullet had hit higher he was a gonner" he said as he took a piece of his shirt and applied pressure to the wound. It wasn't that deep but still bled furiously. He braced himself and took the cloth off.
Then he pushed his fingers in the wound to try and locate the bullet. Jack screamed but William had him pinned to the ground. He found the bullet and then quickly bandaged the wound.
He pulled Jack to them and then moved to help Will.
Elizabeth was already at his side and holding his head in her lap. William sighed relieved when he found no wounds on his son. He moved his hand and found the bump near Will's temple.
"He'll be fine lass," he said, as he looked at her "He only knocked his head He'll probably be out all night and have one hell of a headache when he wakes up."
Elizabeth smiled at her husband's father. "You may call me Elizabeth," she said as she let Will go and helped Anamaria and William with Jack. They got them settled for the night and hoped that they would see tomorrow.

"Thank you William" said Anamaria as she stroked Jack's hair. He was slightly pale due to the loss of blood but at least he was sleeping peacefully. He nodded and then took a seat in one of the chairs.
"You should get some rest," said Elizabeth as she looked at William. He nodded and smiled at the women.
"Take our cabin," said Anamaria as she got up and walked to the door.
Elizabeth nodded. "We won't be getting any sleep anyway. Someone needs to keep an eye on the boys. Anamaria nodded and told the guard. He was too afraid of the women to say anything so he allowed William to go into the other cabin to get some rest.

"Are you sure they've been kidnapped?" asked Gibbs as he looked at the captain of the Black Pearl again. He had a thing against having a woman on board but after Jack threatened to drown any man whom treated Anamaria and Katherine with disrespect he had jus shrugged and let the women be.
Besides, Katherine was a Sparrow and they were the devil's helpers they were. Sharp with their tongues and as sly as the noose itself. He wasn't prepared to cross Katherine. After knowing Jack for as long as he did he figured they if you cross a Sparrow once, ye wont survive crossing the second one as well. He just turned and saw Katherine gazing across the deck again.
"Ye miss him lass," said Gibbs "And don't ye dare deny it. We all miss ole Jack and we're gonna get that rascal back 'fore ye know it." Katherine smiled and slowly nodded. She found herself gazing out at the ocean once more, looking for the sails of the ship that held her brother and friends captive.
She swore that she would get them out alive or die trying. And Jack never let her down so she wouldn't allow him to ever doubt her loyalty and love.
