Shadow: What up folks. This be my first fanfic for POTC. So be nice, yeah. Im not that good so please don't bash me in Reviews. I will get really mad so... don't.

Jack: That was really stupid.

Shadow: Shut up Jack! At least I don't sit on my butt all day talking about a piece a wood.

Jack: Hey! The Pearl is NOT a piece of wood. What the Pearl is ...is freedom. Goes into rant about the Pearl

Project: -.-' Ooookay since Jack isn't technically with us anymore Will do the disclaimer.

Will: Fine. ProjectShadow doesn't own Pirates of the Caribbean. If she did Jack would be hers and our world would be screwed.

Shadow: Let me also add that this isn't a slash fic. I just have that Jack and Will have a close bond. Besides I don't think I could write one anyway. People at my church might think that there's something wrong with me. Then I'll be sent to counseling. And no one wants that.

Jack: stops ranting long enough to raise hand

Shadow: screw you Jack.

Jack's words of wisdom- Never met a banana I didn't like.

A Turner Curse

As night settled in, a cool breeze drifted over the Caribbean sea. The sun was gone, now the moon had appeared. Many of Port Royal's people had long gone go to bed. Yet some remained awake drinking at the taverns and telling wild tales about Pirates and curses. Sleep had taken many but one. A light could be seen in a window above the smithy. It appeared sleep would be difficult for Will Turner this night. Not that it was different from any other night. Ever since his grand adventure with Jack Sparrow things had been rather difficult.

"Why did you have to go?"Will said knowing full well that he wasn't going to get an answer.

Getting a taste of adventure had set things off in Will's life. His life was now dull. Being a great blacksmith and a swords man wasn't enough. He need to fight pirates, commandeer a ship, annoy the heck out of the Royal Navy, anything. Jack had been right. The pirate was in his blood and right now he was squaring away with it.

Will glanced down at his hand. There was the scare he had received from ending a curse that had plagued the Caribbean for 10 years. More of his life and an evil band of pirates then others. For the rest of his life it would remind Will of his first taste of Piracy. But most of all, it would remind him of a certain drunken Pirate captain.

Jack had become a good friend of Will's. He knew what it felt like to be an outcast. And was interesting guy to talk to. He was now a friend but mostly a general annoyance. It had been months since Jack's "supposable" hanging. Life in Port Royal got normal and quiet again. The exact opposite of what Will wanted. There were always reports of the Black Pearl robbing navy ships and getting away from Norrington. Will smiled as the memory of Norrington's face when he had returned to Port Royal yet again tricked by Jack. Jack was definitely on the Commodore's hate list.

Will moved away from the window he had been leaning against and walked over to what was now a more comfortable bed. Ever since he and Elizabeth had become an official couple, Elizabeth was doing every to make the smithy more comfortable for Will. Mr. Brown had been killed the night the Black Pearl had attacked so the smithy belonged to him. Not that there was much of a difference since Will did all the work and Mr. Brown did nothing.

Elizabeth. Since he was 10 that was all Will thought about. All Will wanted was to be more then friends with her. He told her his feelings and things were off. Now Will only loved her as a friend. And Elizabeth was talking about a wedding. How was he going to break it to her.

( I know there isn't much people talking with each other. Bear with me it's the first chapter.)

Will got off the bed and headed for the stairs that lead to the smithy. " Might as well do some work." he mumbled to himself. That's what he had been doing every time he couldn't sleep. At least he had Isabel to talk to.

"How you doing girl?" Will asked as he gently stroked her face. "Looks like another long night for me." Will said to himself then to his animal companion. Will failed to see the shadow that had gone by the window. Will grabbed some metal and began to heat it. Yet again missed a shadow creeping slowly by the window. He pulled the metal out and began to hammer it to the shape of a word.

"Nothing interesting is ever going to happen around here again. Let along a certain Pirate comes back." Will said aloud to no one in particular.

" You 'now mate talkin to you self ain't a good sign." a husky voice said.

Will was to say the least very startled. He dropped the hammer and sadly Will's foot was where it landed. Jack slipped in just in time to see Will jumping around holding his foot cursing things only a pirate would. Jack being himself found the scene quit humorous. " You 'now it helps to move your foot when heavy objects fall." Jack said with a huge grin on his face.

"Thanks, I'll try and remember that." Came an angry reply as Will leaned against the wall. His foot was going to really smart for the next week. Jack gave a small laugh as he drunkenly walked to Will. He had to make sure he was okay. Will glanced up and finally realized that Jack was who he was talking to. "Jack!" Will almost shouted out standing up and losing his balance. Jack saw the disaster about to happen and using quick reflexes he grabbed Will's arm. "The boy hurt his bloody foot. Doesn't need a broken back."Jack thought. " You 'right mate. Can't seem to stay on two feet." Will blushed and mumbled a thanks to Jack and turned around to get the fallen hammer. "What are you doing here? If Norrington finds you here were both in trouble." Will said after a long silence. Will turned around and Jack got a good look at Will's appearance. With the help of the light that was coming through the window. Will looked as if he hadn't slept in ages. " Bloody 'ell haven't you been sleepin! Jack said as he strode over and took Will's face in his hands. "I 'aven't seen bags this bad since I saw someone sick with a fever." Jack said worry evident in his voice. Will went to protest but he looked in Jack's kohl-rimmed eyes and saw nothing but worry and fear. Will had to smile knowing that Jack actually cared. Jack had been saying something but Will had been lost in his thoughts. " Ya hear me Will?" Jack asked. Will shook his head free. " Sorry Jack. I was thinking of something else." Jack snorted at this and shook his head. " Course you were. When ye sick you always lose ya head." Jack sarcastically said. Will looked at Jack confused. "Sick?" Jack looked at will as if he had just said ' O my God you're a pirate!' "Sick? Of corse ya sick Will. Ya 'ave a fever." he said giving Will a concerned look. Will finally noticed that Jack was right. All the thinking he had been doing that evening he hadn't noticed.

"So Jack..." Will started removing his head from Jack's grasp "What are you doing here?"

Jack gave Will a look then sat down in Mr. Brown's old chair. "I'm actually here to see you." This was a surprise to Will. "Me! What could you possibly need me for. You have the Pearl bac-..." " Gots Nothing to do with the Pearl. It has somethin to do with you." Now Will was starting to get worried." Jack what's going on?" Jack looked up at Will. He really didn't want to do this to the kid.

" Will, there's another curse that your father didn't take care of so you have to."

Shadow: well, there's the first chapter. It kinda sucked.

Jack: No kidding.

Shadow: Please R&R and let me know what you think. If there are things that could be better please tell me. And if someone is really good with the pirate language I would love you if you could help me out. Need at least 10 reviews to get next chapter.
