Pirates Of The Caribbean – Broken Glass
Authors Note – Heylo there, folks! Told ye all I'd post up the beginning today :-D. Anyone who hasn't read my other story, 'Twisted Fairytales', you should probably read that before this one, seeing as this is the sequel. Now, for all you that have read my last one, this takes place 8 months (the prologue is 7 months) after the end when Ellie left. They haven't seen each other since, nothing much has happened. Ellie lives with her aunt, Jack's been plundering about the ocean. What you'd expect really. :-) Anyway, might as well get on with it! :-D
Disclaimer – As ye all will know,
none…well, the obvious characters are not mine. Some, however, are mine :-D.
But, sadly, I do not own Jack :(
Rating – PG-13…may turn R for a chapter
or two in the future, but for now PG-13 stands :-P
Summary: A curse falls upon the crew of the Black Pearl. Death comes to those the people of the crew care for, and who care for them in return. Jack acknowledges the only people he has ever cared for are dead. But then his thoughts turn to a certain woman he left in England eight months before…

Is there love without hate? Is there pleasure without pain?

Jack grinned, as he let the pieces of gold slip through his
fingers, hitting the other pieces on the ground on the cave. His crew rejoiced
happily behind him, taking whatever treasure they wished whilst some downed the
rum from their goblets. It had taken them over two months to reach the Caverne
Maudite, and the end reward hadn't been disappointing. The cave was, indeed,
one of the smallest he had ever found himself in, however every inch of it was
covered. A pirates dream. It was rare for them to come across buried treasure.
This one and the cave Ilsa De Meurta had been the only caves he'd ever come
across it.
'Looks like ye were right, Capt'n,' Gibbs appeared beside him, grinning from
ear to ear.
He looked around his crew and grinned at their success. They
were just as pleased as he. To him, everything was almost perfect. Almost.

Harold Kursar celebrated their finding with his shipmates, downing any glass of rum one of the other pirates would pour for him and laughing as each of them picked gold from the ground. His closest friend, Thomas, appeared beside him, 'Aint this just the life, Kursar?' his friend grinned at him.
'Aye, it is, Tom,' he smirked at him, as Thomas handed him
another glass of rum. He downed it in an instant as his friend went past him to
join another group of the crew. Harold frowned, his eyes drawn to the far side
of the cave that seemed to glimmer, as the moon would, should there be a break
between the rocks.
He looked back at his crewmates behind him, who hadn't seemed to notice. He
began to walk towards the other side of the cave, grinning happily at any of
the other crew who he walked by on his way. He let him fingers run over a pile
of treasure that was to his left as he reached where the glimmering had come
from. He frowned, his eyes resting on a pendant, encases with blue tinted
glass. The pendant was gold and he would see a few words carved into the
middle. He tilted his head to the side, drawn to the plain piece of gold. There
was nothing special a tall about it. There was much more enthralling treasure
around him, being captivated by this was…ridiculous, to say the least.
Take it.
A voice within him spoke. He frowned, startled, and took a step back. But he was captivated by the plain piece of gold. He stared at it for a moment, unsurely, as the voice inside his head spoke again.
Take it.
He hesitated only for another moment, when Jack's voice sounded, tell them
to gather their prizes and be ready to make way. Kursar reaching for his pistol
and pulled it out of his belt. He held the barrel in his hand and, with the but
of the gun, shattered the glass that encased the pendant, with crumbled around
the stone that held the pendant, surrounding it. Harold reached for it and
lifted it, hurriedly, hearing the rest of the crew pile out from the cave. He
pushed his pistol back into his belt and the pendant into his pocket, as he
turned and hurried after the crew.
'Captain,' Harold smirked at Jack.
'Kursar,' Jack grinned, following him out the cave.
In his haste to leave,
Harold had failed to observe the tiny fragments of the blue glass turn red.

That was short seeing as it is the prologue, but the first chapter will be
longer. And that shall be posted soon :-) Hope ye all liked the beginning!
