Chapter Nine: An Honest Pirate

Juliet awoke to the bright sun gleaming in her eyes the morning after the attack. She sat up and stretched. She looked around and saw many people had left the fort and had returned to their once whole homes.

She stood and looked around at the remaining people there, but Will was nowhere to be found. Juliet panicked and left the fort to search for Will. She raced to his house but on the way ran into something or someone.

Will was lying on the ground, out like a light. Juliet rushed over and lifted his head in her lap.

"Will, oh Will. Wake up," she said patting his face. Will groaned and then opened his eyes and stared up at her.

"Juliet," he said softly. Juliet smiled and helped him sit up. "What happen?"

"I'm not sure, I just found you like this about three minutes ago. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just my head hurts a little," Will said. "If it wasn't for those bloody pirates, it wouldn't."

"Do you want to go home?" Juliet asked. Will shook his head no and they stood.

"I want to take care of some business first," Will said taking her hand and leading her back to the fort.

"Where to?" Juliet asked.

"The pirates that attacked last night had to have had a reason to attack. And I want to know what it was," Will said. "And there is only one pirate here right now."

They walked back to the fort and then to the jail to talk to no other but Jack Sparrow. Meanwhile, Jack was trying to break the lock on the jail cell with the bone. He then heard the door open and footsteps thunder down the stairs and he jumped back onto the floor so no one would know he was trying to escape.

Will and Juliet appeared in front of his cell. He looked up at them and smiled. "Well, if it isn't the whelp and his bonny lass I met yesterday."

"Look Sparrow, we need your help," Will said. Jack touched his chest as if he were shocked.

"You need my help? Well now, I think I might take you up on that offer," Jack said.

"Are you familiar with the ship the Black Pearl? The one that attacked last night?" Will asked. Jack's smiled dropped and he looked up at Will.

"Yes, why do you want to know?" Jack asked.

"I want to know why it attacked here last night," Will asked.

"Only for one reason, to take back what they say is rightfully theirs. A gold medallion," Jack said. Juliet then realized why the pirates were in Will's house and she looked at Will with concerned eyes.

"That medallion I have? What's so special about it?" Will asked.

"Sit down and I'll tell ye," Jack said. Will and Juliet sat on the bench opposite the cell as Jack explained the curse and treasure to them, but he left out Will's blood was needed to lift the curse.

"Well, where does the ship make berth?" Will asked.

"You don't know that either?" Jack asked. Will and Juliet looked at each other and shook their heads. Jack sighed. "Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta, it's an island that can not be found, except for those who already know where it is."

"The ships real enough, therefore it's anchorage must be a real place, where is it?" Will asked.

"Why ask me?" Jack asked.

"Because you're a pirate," Will asked. Jack looked up at him.

"And you want to turn pirate yourself is that it?" Jack asked. Will grabbed the bars in frustration.

"Never," Will said sternly. Jack looked at his fingernails. "I want to go break the curse and get back what's rightfully mine. The medallion my father gave me when I was younger," Will said.

"Oh really, well if you are risking your life in order to just get back some silly piece of gold then you'll have to do it alone mate. I see no profit in it for me," Jack said.

"I can get you out of here," Will said. Juliet then thought it best to interrupt.

"Wait, wait. We can't let him go, he killed Elizabeth," Juliet replied.

"If I tell you the truth will you let me go?" Jack asked.

"Depends if you tell the truth," Juliet replied. Jack looked at her.

"The way to know I'm telling the truth is just to know," Jack said. "I was going to save Elizabeth, she fell off the side of the wall at the fort because of the corset. I jumped in the water and saved her, when I pulled her onshore she wasn't breathing. I cut open the corset, but I was too late. She died from suffocating and drowning, Norrington accused me all too quickly."

Will and Juliet looked at Jack. They could see in his eyes he was telling the truth. He was being honest, very unpirate like. Juliet nodded at Jack and then Will.

"So how are you going to get me out if the keys are gone?" Jack asked getting back on subject.

"I helped build these cells. These are half-pin barrel hinges," Will said turning to pull the bench up and place it on the door. "With the right leverage and the proper application of strength, the door will lift free."

Jack looked at the young boy as if he knew him from somewhere. Like he had known him in another lifetime.

"What's your names, you two?" Jack asked.

"Juliet Roland," Juliet replied still upset over Jack's story.

"You?" Jack asked Will.

"Will Turner," Will said. Jack sat up all the way.

"That would be short for William I imagine. Good strong name, no doubt named for your father aye?" Jack asked. Juliet looked at Will and Jack and she knew Jack knew something that her and Will didn't.

"Yes," Will said curiously.

"Uh huh," Jack said. "Well Mr. Turner, I've changed me mind. If you spring me from this cell, I swear on pain or death I shall take you to the Black Pearl and help you recover your medallion. Do we have an accord?" Jack asked sticking his hand out. Will looked down at it and graciously shook it.

"Agreed," Will said smiling.

"Agreed," Jack said. "Get me out!" Will pulled on the bench until the hinges broke and the door fell to the ground.

"Hurry, someone might have heard that!" Will said. Jack rushed over to his things.

"Not without my effects!" Jack said. He grabbed his things and they ran out of the cell.

Well, well, another chapter done. Please R&R!
