Chapter 13 Dream of Truth

Jesline laid peacefully while the doctors worked on her dying body, trying to save her. Dr. Wileky hummed a soft tune to himself while he tried to heal Jesline's dying body. Dr. Wileky looked at Jesline with pain in his eyes. She would not make it. Her blood loss was too great and her will to live had vanished. From what Dr. Wileky could tell and feel, she wanted to die. Dr. Wileky was extremely saddened by this.

"Such a nice girl, but a tortured soul." Dr. Wileky said.

"There is not much we can do for her. She has already given up." a short brown haired man.

"Yes Daniel, she has. Pity to see Erika's daughter die so young." Dr. Wileky said, sadness in his voice.

"What do you propose we do, doctor?" Daniel asked, although he already knew the answer.

"Let us make her as comfortable as we can. There is not much we can do for her. Jesline's suffering will be over soon as she will not live long."

And so in the small healing house, Dr. Wileky and Daniel set Jesline on the small cot she laid on surround by numerous pillows, herbs, and flowers. They made a mixture of herbs for Jesline to drink to ease her passing and lit incense and left her so that she could rest.

As Dr. Wileky and Daniel left Jesline, she felt her end coming near. She felt the darkness encompassing her, surrounding her with their evil promises of endless torture. Jesline knew she had failed. The world she knew would be no more as He had won. Her death spelt destruction for mankind. But she did not care, as her life was hollow, empty. It had no propose for her any more.

Jesline felt her eyelids get heavy, she wanted to sleep. She gave in and slept, but this sleep she would never rise from again. Her breathing began slow down and her body became very cold, but the pain receded slowly away from her body. The last breath of life left Jesline Sherida's lips, and she breathed no more. Laying on the cot was not Erika's daughter, but a shell of one. One that lived a terrible life. Full of pain, anger, and doubt. But now, she was no more. Jesline died and fell into the emcompassing darkness of eternal hell.

FLASH

The island was in total chaos. Men, women, and children were running trying to escape the darkness that had enter their island. He had come. But no matter where they had hide, He had found them and brought them before Him.

"Now, you heathens are going to tell me where the caves are. If you do not I will kill each of you one by one, even the children." The Devil had said, his eyes flashing red with cruelty and malice.

"Nosso pai, que a arte no heaven, hallowed seja nomethy." One woman cried to the Lord, kneeling on her knees. Her hands cupped in front of her. Her black hair was a mess, blood trickling down the side of her face. Her dress was in ruin, barely holding on to cover her.

"What is she saying?" the Devil asked, his ears hurting from the words she spoke.

"O reino thy vem; thy será feito na terra como está no heaven." the woman continued.

The Devil was now in utter pain from the woman's words. His hands covering his ears to block out her voice. He knew some how that they were holy words. The words of God. He began to whisper, "Shut up." which grew to a yell. The Devil grabbed his sword.

"Dê-nos este dia nosso pão diário; e perdoe-nos nossas transgressões enquanto nós perdoamos aqueles que infringem de encontro a nós; e conduza- nos não no temptation, mas entregue-nos do evil. Amen." she finished looking up at the sky and felt the Lord's love raining upon her. Closing her eyes and smiling, she did not feel the swing of the sword as it cut off her head.

The woman's head flew in the air and landed in Lasana's lap. She screamed at the top of her lungs, moving away from the head as quickly as she could, but felt a hand stop her. Lasana looked up and saw the Devil's second in command, Redcliff. He picked her up by her hair and dragged her back toward the Devil.

"You will tell me where those caves are or I will kill your beloved Lasana!" He roared. No one answered so the Devil raised his bloody sword and prepared to swing.

"Wait!"

The Devil looked toward the owner of that voice and saw a man clothed in rags.

"I will show where the caves are if you let everyone go, alive." the man said. The Devil looked at him with cold caulated eyes, thinking whether to say yes or no.

"Agreed, but the Chief will accompany us." The Devil said with a smile that promised torture and death.

FLASH

The island was engulfed by the ocean and fire. The people had escaped in boats and where traveling toward Tortuga. The Devil had killed the ragged man who was Babako and the Chief when had claimed a bright red jewel, which destroyed the island. He had found out that this jewel was the island's enchantment, the very thing that kept the island hidden from him for so long. Now he had the key and the power to hide until the moment was right.

The Devil laughed to himself. Jesline had thought that she could escape him, but she gave him the very thing he needed. Her death, her soul.

"My lord, what of the boats with the survivors?" Redcliff asked.

The Devil looked at him and replied, "I do not want any evidence leaving the island. Destroy them!" Redcliff gave the order and the people of the Island of Forest Hymn were sent to their watery grave and the eternal darkness of Hell.

FLASH

Jack couldn't explain it. He left the island right after Jesline had died. He couldn't bear to be there when she was not. But shortly after he left his ship had been taken over by a ship wreathed in flame and when he looked close enough at the flame, he could have sworn that he saw demons flying and walking on that ship. He concluded that this damned ship was the Tartarus. The ship that all pirates feared.

Jack couldn't explain how it happened. It was all so fast. One moment the ocean was vast and empty and the next the Tartarus had appeared out of no where. The Commodore's Ship, Montague, was blasted out of the water, no one left alive. And then it came for the Black Pearl. Jack, angered at the death of the Norringtons and the Turners, set to wreck vengeance upon the Tartarus. But the moment Jack made his decision, his ship was quickly disabled and taken over by not men, but demons.

One man came over to the Black Pearl and looked at his prisoners. When his eyes set upon Captain Jack Sparrow, he smiled. Jack knew in that moment, it was the Devil. The one man Jesline, herself had feared.

"At last we meet. Captain Jack Sparrow. Here I thought that I would have a fight upon my hands, but it was too easy to take over your pathetic friends and your ship. Oh well! We all can't have everything we want." With that the Devil slaughtered the crew of the Black Pearl while Jack watched, powerless to do anything. The Devil came to him when the black decks of the Pearl ran red with blood.

"Now, Captain it is time for you to die and your soul will be mine." the Devil smiled with such promise of eternal pain that Jack feared what the afterlife would bring for him.

The Devil raised his blood covered sword and sliced Captain Jack Sparrow to pieces. The last thing Jack saw red eyes before the fires of Hell took him.

FLASH

The Black Pearl was swallowed in flames, sink to the crushing black oblivion of Davey Jones Locker. The world suffered the same fate as the Pearl. Every inhabitant was covered in a dark evil that could not be stopped. Screams of agony and pain were the only things that were heard in the night sky of death.

PRESENT

Jesline held the knife inches from her arm. The images she saw, events that would happen if she cut herself. Jesline dropped the knife on the ground and looked up to her mother asking why. Her mother looked at her and as if to say, 'This is what will come to pass if you should do this.'

Jesline bowed her head at her mother's grave and cried silently to herself, barely noticing the falcon that land on the statue of her mother's shoulder. It waited silently to pass it's message to her. A message of hope.

Author's Note: Sorry it took so long for me to update, but this chapter was difficult to write. I hope you like it and more chapters are to come, my friends. The chapters are going to get darker, but now Jesline will be a different woman when she see's Jack again. Please review and read Second Chances by Serena Coyote. Its an awesome story. Ta!

Translation of what the woman was saying: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
