Chapter Two Introductions
Jack and Will had left the inn in a hurry and didn't stop when Annie called after them. They kept on walking quickly till they came to the Faithful Bride. Both of them walked in and it was in a commotion as usual and a waitress served them two tall glasses of rum when they sat down at their usual booth near the back.
"Jack," Will began, "That was strange."
"No kiddin'." Jack gulped his rum along and soon ordered another round for the both of them.
Their silence kept going on while fights continued to brake out around them. Jack saw the distraction as a good thing and began to talk to Will.
"What did she say back there? I didn't quite catch all of that."
Jack avoided eye contact while Will answered, "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."
"My, don't you have the good memory," Jack said with sarcasm as he took another sip. Will just nodded his head and they once again fell into an awkward silence.
"What did she mean by that? What could she have meant by that?" Jacks voice seemed anxious as he said it.
"What goal did we not finish recently?"
Jacks eyes traced the lines of the table as he thought. His mind swirled and he even found himself thinking about what the woman said about his fear of being alone. No doubt Will was thinking about his wife and his unborn son.
"Do you anyone called the 'White Lady?'" Jacks ears perked and he continued to think about what the woman said.
"I know someone called the White Garter, White Bartender, White Bird, but no White Lady."
"'Five shall fall from the sky.' What the hell will fall from the sky? Five what?"
"Five bottles of Rum?" The two of them smiled and after a few more drinks the both of them decided to return to the Pearl.
The two of the walked through the town, only a bit tipsy, and finally made it to the Pearl.
"Cap'n," Gibbs said as Jack boarded the ship. He nodded his head to Gibbs and Gibbs proceeded to acknowledge Will. Will just returned the nod and continued to follow Jack to the helm of the ship.
"What's the date?"
"July the fourth." Jack said as he held the helm protectively and looked to the sky.
"The stars are beautiful tonight," Will said as he leaned his head upwards and gazed into the sky.
"Aye," Jack replied quietly as he thought about how alone he really was. He had no relatives, his friends were his crew and the Turners, and he had no family, no heir and no female counterpart. Slowly he looked away from the sky and was feeling a pang of loneliness in his heart.
"Oh my God, what is that?!"
MEANWHILE…
"Done!" Cindy sighed as the rest of the people looked at the colorful tri-fold board.
"God I hate chemistry." Brian said tiredly as he looked out the window and saw the fireworks in the distance. "Happy fourth of July by the way."
"Yea," the others said in unison as they cleaned up the room.
"I wanna see the fireworks, if you guys wanna see them too, bring a jacket." Jennifer grabbed her favorite biker jacket and black bandanna and walked out of the room into the backyard. Cindy looked to Michael and Brian and left them and followed Jennifer, grabbing her jacket too. Brian followed suit and Michael was left in the room alone with Wilson.
"Fine!" Michael got up and walked out the door and Wilson followed and closed it behind himself. They followed Brian and Cindy to where a ladder was propped up against the side of the house. The four of them climbed up and saw Jennifer sitting on the roof near the front of the house with a bottle of dark liquid. They all sat down and watched the fireworks light up the sky. Cindy watched Jennifer drink from the bottle and Michael finally asked, "What's that?"
"Wine," Jennifer handed him the bottle and he smiled widely and took a long drink from it. She handled her pentacle pendant dangling from her neck and looked around. Slowly the bottle was passed around and they all began to talk.
"So what's driven you to drinking Jen?" Brian said after he took a gulp from the bottle.
"Stress." Jennifer sighed and tucked the pendant into her shirt and Cindy piped up.
"What drove you to being gay Brian?"
Brian just smiled and said, "Rejection." Michael smiled and took a long drink and turned to Cindy, "Do you have any addictions, problems, or fears we should know about Cindy?"
Cindy just smiled as she took a sip from the bottle and replied, "I think about sex. That's about it."
Michael smiled wolfishly and licked his lips suggestively. Cindy just laughed out loud and said, "Are your lips chapped or what Young?"
"No, but you're the one that's about to be cracked open by my cock." Michael and the group laughed, even Brian. Slowly the bottle was passed around and many things were talked about.
"What time is it?"
"11:58." Brian answered as he looked at a few more fireworks.
Wilson took out a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and looked at the other people and said, "Anyone got a light?"
Jennifer handed him a lighter in his pocket and he lit the cigarette and began to smoke it and pass it around.
"What drove you to smoking Wilson?" Brian smiled.
"Parents," Wilson said quietly.
"What did they do?"
"They smoke, so I smoke."
"Parents are bitch's. All they do is criticize. Then they pretend that you really matter, and after a while they screw you over."
The four people looked at Jennifer curiously.
"What happened to make you think like that?" Cindy was genuinely concerned and Jennifer didn't look at her in the eyes when she answered.
"Don't wanna talk about it."
The group nodded their head and respected her privacy while they continued their discussion.
"You got any siblings Bri?"
"An older brother. But other than that no one."
"I got an older sister." Cindy said.
"Only child," Michael indicated as he grabbed the cigarette.
"I'm alone." Jennifer said darkly.
"What are you talking about? You have an older sister that looks just like you." Cindy laughed.
"I mean I'm alone in the world. I have no counterpart, no one to be close to." Jennifer took a long drink from the bottle and snatched the cigarette from Michael and took another long puff from it.
The group looked at her like she was crazy and Michael just laughed.
"Where are your parents Jen?" He took the cigarette back.
"Conference. Jess is at her boyfriends place with him and his parents. They won't be home for a few more hours." Jennifer looked over to Michael and said, "You have no ass Michael," she said randomly while grinning.
"But my jewels make up for it." He took a puff of the cigarette and passed it to Brian.
"Psh," Jennifer looked away and Michael was intrigued.
"You want proof?" He raised his eyebrow in challenge.
"Yeah," Jennifer said frankly, "I want proof." Jennifer took a long puff from the cigarette and handed it back to Wilson.
Michael smiled and stood up and began to unbutton his tight pants. No one turned away when he finally pulled his penis out.
"Nice," Jennifer smiled and turned away to face Cindy who was smiling widely at Michael. Michael's eyes went to Brian who was smiling and he quickly put it back into his pants.
Brian turned to the sky and shouted, "Holy shit! What the fuck is that?!"
Everyone's eyes were averted into the sky as a giant swirl of colorful lights flew straight at the group of teenagers.
"HOLY SHIT!"
In a split second the four of them went from being on Jennifer's roof to free falling into the ocean next to a huge black ship.
MEANWHILE…
Jack and Will jerked their heads in the direction of the screams and ran over to the port side of the ship ad looked into the water. There were ripples and four heads popped out of the water.
"Men overboard!" Jack shouted. Will ran next to the cabin entrances and yelled, "Men overboard! All hands to the deck!"
Quickly the crew began to come up to the deck and pull the teenagers onto the ship. One by one till four of them were coughing on the deck. Jennifer looked around and her eyes widened and she said in a panicked voice, "Where's Wilson?!" The rest of the teenagers looked around and Cindy and Jennifer rushed to the side of the boat and started scanning the water. Cindy was shivering and the other two boys were shaking and looking at the crew with wide eyes.
"Hey, Cindy, Jennifer!" Brian's voice was panic filled and Cindy turned to face him and her eyes grew wide as she looked at Jack and Will.
"Oh, my God," Cindy was tapping Jennifer but she took no heed and continued calling out onto the water for her missing friend.
"Wilson! Wilson you son of a bitch! Come up to the surface you idiot!" Cindy shook her arm much more forcefully and Jennifer pointed to the water.
"Wilson!" Wilson was face down and unconscious, floating in the water like a dead body. "Oh my god! Wilson you better not be dead!"
Jack and Will looked at the teenagers and then at each other and then they spoke.
"Who are ye?" Jack looked at Michael and Brian and Will walked over to them.
"Shit," Michael said as he looked around wildly as Will walked over to him and Brian. Jack walked over to Cindy, who was stunned silent, and Jennifer, who was still worrying over Wilson unconscious in the water. Jack looked at the back of Jennifer and decided to try something.
"Well someone is going to have to save him from drowning." Jennifer stopped yelling and was still for a moment. Suddenly she got up on the railing and jumped into the water.
"No!" Jack said, but he was too late. She was already in the water, swimming over to Wilson. "She does stupid things just like Will." Jack commented as he threw a rope down to the water as she dragged his body over to it. Jack, Will, and a few other crewmembers pulled her and him up.
Cindy and Brian and Michael were crowded around Wilson as Jennifer used her medical knowledge to try and resuscitate him.
"What is she doing?" Jack commented as the crew watched.
"CPR," Brian said unconsciously.
Jennifer was pushing on his chest and counting the amount of hits. Slowly Wilson coughed up a large amount of water and breathed deeply.
"Don't you ever do that again you chain-smoking bastard!" Jennifer yelled as Wilson looked around.
"Wha—?" Wilson looked around and then shouted, "Holy shit!" Jack was surprised and the crew jumped back from the teenagers. Jennifer finally noticed them and her eyes widened.
"You're—you're—Johnny Depp!" Her face remained stunned while a huge smile tugged at her lips while Cindy looked at Will and said, "Orlando Bloom!"
Jack and Will and the crew looked at them weird and Jack corrected, "Captain Jack Sparrow, luv, and Will Turner. Not those two you've obviously got us mixed up with."
"Jesus Christ!" Michael hid partially behind Cindy while Wilson was still on the floor looking up at them.
"This is a dream you guys. A group dream." Wilson tried to explain but Jennifer knelt down and slapped him really hard.
"Ow!" Jack winced and Wilson clutched his cheek.
"Did that hurt?" Jennifer asked her eyes still locked on the crew before them.
"Duh!" Wilson said annoyed.
"Then it's not a dream." Jennifer replied as she stood up and backed away.
Jack looked at them and then turned to Will and said, "'Five will fall from the sky.'"
Will's eyes widened and he looked at the teens and said, "You think—?" he pointed to them, and Jack nodded his head slowly.
"I'm a thinkin' tha these are the people that gypsy was talking about." Jack turned to the group and said, "Which one of you is the White Lady?"
The teens just looked at him and then to each other and then Jack said, "Ok, let's start with your names."
"Michael."
"Brian."
"Wilson."
"Cindy"
"Jennifer."
Jack took in the names and looked at each of them carefully. Will stepped in and began, "Go change into some spare clothes before you catch pneumonia."
"Thanks for the advice mum." Jack said sarcastically, making a few of the teens smirked.
"At least I'm not the one that will be blamed for their deaths. Don't you need them to lead you to the 'priceless treasure?'"
Jacks eyes widened and he walked to the group and shooed them to the cabins. "Go change into some decent things boys! Don't you dare get sick either! Whoa you two!" Cindy and Jennifer stopped and looked at Jack, "You go with Anamaria." Anamaria stepped from behind Jack and led them off to her cabin.
"He sounds like my mom." Cindy commented once they got out of hearing distance.
"He'll sound like anything when it comes to treasure." Anamaria commented, making them laugh some more. The three of them walked for a while until they got to a cabin near the others. Cindy watched Brian, Michael and Wilson go into one cabin while they went into another. Once they got inside Anamaria tossed them some spare clothes for them to change into.
Cindy and Jennifer walked behind a screen and Jennifer changed into the pants and white shirt while Cindy changed into a dark shirt and pants. Once they were done Anamaria said, "You tow take the bed, I'll sleep in the chair."
"Thank you," Jennifer said as she slipped into the bed.
"Yeah, thanks."
"No trouble." Anamaria pulled up a chair and they all proceeded to fall asleep.
MEANWHILE…
Jack and Will were on the deck looking at the stars again.
"What'd you reckon they'll lead us to?" Jack said as he looked to Will.
"I have no idea. But which one d'you think is the White lady?"
"It's one of the girls. I dunno about that Cindy girl. She just kinda stared at you. But that Jennifer one dived back in for that boy. They must all be good friends." Jack commented. He realized he sounded strange talking about young girls and looked at Will.
"I didn't mean it like—" Jack saw Will had already gave him a warning look.
"Don't do anything stupid." Will smiled and walked away.
Jack just smiled and said under his breath, "Right." He looked up into the stars and saw one bright one twinkling in the distance, near the horizon, and smiled. He walked away from the railing and went to his cabin and slept.
