Onto the story!!!!!!

Chapter One The Project, the Letter, and the Song

The sun was setting in the west as four students were doing a project for AP Chemistry.

"Why the hell are we even here again?" A boy with short unkempt brown hair said as his chocolate brown eyes looked at the ground.

"To save our asses in chem." Another boy said as he laughed to himself. His darker brown eyes looked to the other two girls in the room and they just smiled as they read the chemistry book on the bed.

"My ass doesn't need saving' Brian." The other boy replied.

"Hey Jennifer," said a golden brown haired girl reading next to her, her blue eyes sparkling with humor, "Isn't Michael too skinny? His ass needs some meat on it."

The other girl smirked and her short mahogany hair flowed with her body as her green eyes looked at the sour face on Michael. Another tall Asian boy began to laugh and Michael looked at him sourly, "What are you laughing at Wilson?"

Wilson just laughed and watched the conversation develop further.

"You know, Michael is too skinny, Cindy." Michael's face went into awe and he pouted.

"It's a conspiracy. I work hard to stay thin and I get flamed for it."

Cindy and Jennifer just smiled and Brian stifled his chuckles by 'coughing.'

Michael had a look of annoyance and he whispered to himself, "I get the conspirators."

"What was that?" Cindy smiled at him and he merely replied, "Let's just get this done."

The five of them continued to read, take notes, and type things up on the computer.

A while had passed and Jennifer smiled and left the room for a minute.

"Where is she going?" Brian said to Cindy.

"Probably went to leave us with the work," Michael said cynically.

Jennifer appeared no sooner and popped a DVD into the player attached to her TV and turned it on.

"What's the DVD?" Cindy asked curiously as Jennifer walked back over to the pile of books.

"Devils and black sheep and really bad eggs…" Jennifer looked to Cindy and soon they were both smiling and singing the pirate theme song.

"Drink up me hearties yo ho!" Cindy and Jennifer were chuckling as they sang the rest of it, much to everyone else's annoyance.

"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!

We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot

Drink up me hearties yo ho

We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot

Drink up me hearties yo ho

Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me

We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack

Drink up me hearties yo ho

Maraud and embezzle and even hijack

Drink up me hearties yo ho

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me

We kindle and char and flame and ignite

Drink up me hearties yo ho

We burn up the city we're really a fright

Drink up me hearties, yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me!
We're rascals, scoundrels, villains and knaves

Drink up me hearties yo ho!

Devils and black sheep and really bad eggs

Drink up me hearties yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me

We're beggars we're blighters, we're ne'er do well cads

Drink up me hearties, yo ho!

Aye but we're loved by our mommies and dads
Drink up me hearties yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!"

"Is it done yet? Or are there another few verses?" Wilson just smiled and they all laughed and watched the movie while working on their project.

MEANWHILE…

Jack had received a letter while he was visiting Will in Port Royal saying to bring the 'whelp' and himself to Tortuga where he would meet an old woman with a way to treasure beyond his wildest dreams.

"I already have the Isle de Muerta," Jack scoffed as he read the letter with no name, "what else could possibly peak my interest?"

Will and Jack kept reading and found it that they were supposed to go to the Salty Cutlass in the older part of town. It was an inn that was used mainly by the people who didn't want to be in the middle of a fight when they frequently broke out.

Jack and Will left Port Royal and arrived at Tortuga and walked through the streets looking for their mysterious letter writer's hangout. They came upon the Salty Cutlass and saw it had remained the same.

"We must go in there?"

Several lowly whores were lounging on the deck and looking at the two of them with seductive eyes. One redhead with light brown eyes winked at Will and licked her lips suggestively. Another raven-haired one with cobalt blue eyes raised her eyebrows at Jack. Jack replied, "Aye boy," he smiled wolfishly and walked up the stairs passed the whores who flocked to Will.

"I'm married," he paused, "with a son on the way, thank you very much," one of them tried to grab his 'family jewels' and he was shocked, "Hey! Those are not for you." Jack finally laughed so much he pulled him into the front door and left the whores outside.

The inn was plain with wooden walls and a front desk with keys and a complete bar filled with so many kinds of alcohol it wasn't even funny, even though it was...ironically. A blonde woman behind the counter looked up at jack with pale blue eyes and smiled widely.

"Jack Sparrow! What a pleasure it is to see you after so long!"

"Aye, 'ello Annie."

Annie looked to Will and said, "Who is 'e?"

Jack looked at Will who smiled and waved his hand in greeting.

"Him? Oh, he's Will Turner. A friend," he leaned in and said quietly, "Eunuch."

Annie smiled and nodded her head while Will looked at them with confusion.

"You two need a room?"

"No actually," Jack interrupted, "We're looking for someone who told us to meet them here. An old woman I believe."

Annie nodded her head and said, "Oh yes. She came by earlier and took a room and said to let you two in when you came. I almost forgot." She laughed and Jack and Will smiled uneasily. She handed them a small bronze key with the number four engraved on it.

"She'll be in room four. Top of the stairs second on the left." She pointed to the stairway near the east side of the room and Jack and Will nodded their heads in thanks.

The two of them walked over to the stairs and up the stairs they went. A heavy scent of incense and perfume struck them as they reached the top of the stairs. A long corridor was before them with plenty of rooms. They walked down a few doors till they came upon a door with a bronze 4 hanging from it. Jack pulled out his gun and slowly unlocked the door with the key. Once the lock turned they burst into the room, weapons drawn.

The soft light in the corner illuminated the small room. There was a table in the center and there two figures in the room. Sitting at the table was an old woman with a kind face and strange, very colorful, clothes. Behind her stood a strong young foreign man with dark features and a very stoic face. Jack looked at them and figured they couldn't do much harm.

"Put those away, they will be of no use to you," she paused and looked at the two of them closely, "yet." The old woman's voice was brittle and sickly. She looked at Jack with a stern gaze and motioned for him to sit in the chair opposite her.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Wills voice was soft, but pressing. The old woman smiled and replied, "I am but a humble gypsy fortune teller young man," she meant to be deceiving, "I wish but to help you two along." She clasped her hands together and smiled a strangely sweet smile.

"Why would a Tortuga fortune teller want to see a pirate and a blacksmith?" Jack raised his eyebrow and sat down, while Will stood behind him.

She smiled and said, "That is the right question young man," she looked out the window at the full moon and smiled even more. "I've come to kill two birds with one stone as it were." She looked at jack and said, "You look like you need some advice, Jack Sparrow."

Jack narrowed his eyes and she continued.

"What kind of advice?" He asked carefully.

"You both fear of dying alone. I am here to help for I have seen those to aid you." The woman fell into a trance and her eyes glazed over. She raised her hand and said in a scared croaky voice, "Your goal is yet to be achieved. Five shall fall from the sky. Find the white lady to lead you to the priceless treasure. Do not abandon the moon; you will need the light. The pearl will protect your heart. Little one, beware the one who is like god. Strength is in the abyss. Follow the tears of the moon. Then face off with fears mirror."

The old woman collapsed and then a strong wind blew the window open and Jack and Will snapped their heads to the window. There was nothing there.

"Listen, old woman," When Jack turned to look at the old woman, she was gone. Her chair was empty and the guard had vanished also.

"Will," Jack said worriedly.

"Yes Jack," Will was looking around wildly for the woman and finally Jack got up and left the room with Will following close behind them.
