Chapter 10 I missed you so much cigarettes...I mean Jack
"Well Miss Alyth, Mystica isn't it?" A rough, scratchy voice said.
"So, you're the witch I've been hearing about then?" Alyth asked, opening one eye and looking towards the door. What she saw there made her gasp. She was the most beautiful woman Alyth had ever seen. "I must say I was expecting something different."
"Most people are when they hear I'm a witch dear. I must say you are exactly what I expected, sadly though you don't have what I expected you to have," the witch said, her scratchy voice hurting Alyth's ears.
"And just does that mean, exactly?" Alyth asked, her eyes twinkling.
"Drop the shit Alyth, where are they?"
"Where are what? I'm afraid I have no idea what it is you are searching for." Alyth told her.
"Really?" The witch asked her, walking further into the room and taking a seat in the one chair in the room. "Sit up girl, I'm about tell you a story and I need your full attention." Alyth quickly sat up and watched the woman, truly intrigued. "As you know I am a witch. I have been searching for something, for quite a long time, and you have it. I have been searching for a way to come immortal. About seven years ago I came across a book that held the answer to my problem. I have spent the last five years searching for the right ingredients for the potion. I have collected everything, except one, a single cigarette from your time. Over two years ago I found a way to look into the future, and I have been watching you ever since. I saw you smoke them, I watched you buy them. I knew that was what I needed so I brought you back in time to me. Something went wrong though and instead of landing on this ship you ended up on the Black Pearl. So now, I need a cigarette, and you are going to give it to me."
"A cigarette. You brought me back in time, kidnapped me, held me prisoner with shitty food, and tried to terrorize me over a single cigarette? Why the fuck didn't you ask me for one. For Christ sake I would have given you a God damned cigarette. But you took me from them, and now who knows where they are? Who knows what Jack has done with them. God, you stupid bitch, I should kill you," Alyth stood and ranted. The witch looked taken aback as she paced around the room, ranting.
"Well we shall be in Tortuga soon, and after restocking I suppose we will try to find the Black Pearl," the witch said as she stood to leave. Alyth just nodded, and laid back down on the bed.
"Jack, where are you?" She wondered, her thoughts drifting from cigarettes to Jack.
"So, do ye have the plan straight Gibbs?" Jack asked, hoping he wouldn't have to repeat himself.
"Aye Cap'n, I'll be off te tell the crew now. Sure do miss that lass, sweet li'l thing, quite the drinker too," Gibbs said as he left Jack's cabin. As Jack had raced back to the Pearl a plan had formulated in his mind to get Alyth back, it would be difficult, but he could do it.
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow after all, I could do this all by me onesies," he mumbled, laying down to get some sleep. He hadn't been sleeping. Every time he closed his eyes pictures of Alyth sprung to his head. Thoughts of the way it felt to kiss her soft, supple lips. The way she looked in the moonlight. Jack quickly cut off this form of thoughts before it got him in trouble. "Why can't I get her off me mind? She's jus a lass afta all, pleny o fish in the sea." Jack shook his head, trying to shake them of thoughts of her. "Shit," he mumbled as he got out of bed and went to his liquor cabinet. Jack pulled out a large bottle of rum, pulled the cork out with his teeth, then downed half the bottle. If he couldn't shake her out, he'd drink her out.
Alyth awoke to sunlight shinning in her eyes. The porthole was just big enough to let in a few rays that landed there, she hated this room.
"Mornin," Jef said, bringing in a plate of what looked like fruit.
"What, run out of gruel?" Alyth asked, eying the fruit with hunger. She hadn't eaten since she'd been kidnapped.
"The witch gave orders te brin ye this," Jef said, then ran to the door quickly. He never stayed around for more than five minutes. Her threats had done the trick.
"Wait," she called, waiting for him to turn around.
"Yea?"
"When will we reach Tortuga?"
"An hour, maybe less. Eat yer fruit, then come on deck," Jef said, then left. Alyth watched him go, then ravenously ate the fruit, eating every last bite.
"Tortuga, maybe Jack would have gone here, or maybe people know Jack and can get him a message. One thing's for certain, I'm gonna get drunk," Alyth mumbled as she left her small cabin for the first time in three days and went on deck.
"Ah, Miss Alyth. Nice of you to join us. We will reach Tortuga docks in a few minutes, but I dare say some friends of yours are here," the witch said.
Alyth looked to see the Black Pearl, and Jack standing on deck, watching them. His mouth gaped open when she looked at him. It was excruciating watching and waiting for the ship she was on to dock. When it was finally done, something that only took two or three minutes in reality but which felt like hours, Alyth didn't wait for the plank to be lowered, she jumped ship into the water and climbed up a ladder at the dock. "Jack," she shouted, running towards the Pearl. Jack walked down the gangplank onto the dock and met up with Alyth.
"Bout time ye got here," he mumbled, and she wasted no time and pulled him into a tight hug. He hugged her back just as tightly, letting her know he had missed her.
"Where are my cigarettes?" She asked suddenly, pulling away from him.
"In me cabin," Jack said amusedly. Alyth quickly ran from Jack, up the gangplank and into his cabin. Her bag was indeed in his cabin, and dumped over. She ran to the bag, grabbed a carton, noticing suddenly that a whole carton was missing. She opened it, located a lighter on Jacks dresser, and lit a cigarette. By the time Jack walked into his cabin she had already finished one and started another.
"I'll never leave you again, oh I missed you so much," she exclaimed.
"Aw, I missed ye too luv," Jack said, making her look up and smile sheepishly.
'uh, I'll just let him think I meant him,' she thought, smiling brightly for him. "Say Jack, why is an entire carton of my cigarettes missing?"
"Well, uh, it was a long trip te Tortuga?" He said sheepishly, and she glared at him.
"You've been smoking my cigarettes?" She asked him skeptically. She knew it to be true when he just grinned.
"Alyth, you're okay," Will said, bursting into the room and grabbing her in a bear hug.
"Will, it's good to see you too, but you're gonna break my cigarette," Alyth said, trying to hold her cigarette away from him.
"Sorry, just good to see you. How did you escape from the witch?" He asked.
"Oh shit, I forgot." Alyth stood up, with her pack of cigarettes, and walked out onto deck. The witch was standing there, waiting.
"Hello Sparrow, so we meet again," the witch said.
"'Ello Margret. Good te see ye again," Jack said, walking to her and actually giving her a hug. "Yer lookin well, last I saw ye, ye were dying weren't ye?"
"No thanks to you," she hissed. "The girl promised me something."
"Here, now go away," Alyth said, walking to the witch and handing her a cigarette.
"Thank you child, goodbye." The witch turned and left. Jack looked at Alyth quizzically.
"Apparently she needed a cigarette for some anti aging potion, or something. Alyth ran into Jack's room and changed quickly, keeping a sharp eye on the door. She knew she couldn't wear any of her modern clothes, so she searched through Jack's dresser until she found a pair of pants and a white shirt that would fit her somewhat. She found a length of rope and used it as a belt. Alyth then slipped on her tennis shoes. She grabbed a pack of cigarettes and stuffed them in a pouch in the pants. She then ran out to Will and Jack. Their mouths dropped as they saw her apparell. "Come on you two, lets get drunk." Alyth linked arms with them both and headed towards Tortuga. "And maybe I can get some real food, Jack, your buying."
"How many have you had Alyth?" Will asked a few hours later.
"Only three or four, or twelve," she said busting out laughing.
"Jack?" Will asked, looking at him.
"Dun look at me mate, I've had twice as much as her," he said, laughing along with Alyth. Will shook his head at the two.
"Alright, time to go back to the Pearl. We just got Alyth back after all, don't want to lose her again."
"Who wants to take Alyth, I'll kill em," Jack said, standing and pulling his sword from it's sheath.
"No one wants to harm her Jack, but we should be going." Will continued, trying to coax them out of the bar.
"No, I wanna stay," Alyth whined.
"Whateva ye want luv," Jack said, sitting back down and re-sheathing his sword.
"Yay," she mumbled, taking another long drink of her rum.
"Well if it isn't Cap'n Jack Sparrow," a voice said, and Alyth turned to see a whore staring at Jack.
"'ello Genveve," Jack said, smiling slightly. The whore smiled, obviously at having her name remembered, and walked straight to Jack, sitting in his lap.
"What the fuck," Alyth said, standing and jumping at the whore. "You best get off his lap before I rip off your head you strumpet," she raged, watching as Genveve disappeared into the crowd of drunks. Will was watching with amusement, as was Jack.
"Well ye wanna take her seat then luv?" He asked with a smirk. She smiled and sat in his lap.
"Will, hand me muh rum," She slurred, and pouted when Will shook his head.
"You've had too much already, if you drink anymore we'll have to carry you back to the Pearl."
"Fine be that way," she grumbled, then grabbed Jack's mug and downed the last half.
"Ey! That was me rum luv," Jack sputtered.
"Oh well, Will wouldn't give me mine." Jack glared at Will, then shrugged.
"I want a cigarette," Alyth said standing suddenly. "Let's go." She pulled Jack from his chair and put an arm around his middle for support. "Aright, come on Will," Jack said, and they all stood and left the rowdy tavern.
