Finally reaching the ship, soaking wet, we climbed up the side as they dropped down the rope ladder. I stepped onto the deck of the Dauntless.
"What in the world?"
"I must've gone crazy."
"How d--"
Peoples voices echoed off each other on the deck of the ship. Seeing this girl being burried at sea, then suddenly pop up soaking wet as if given life again. Which, ironically, is exactly what happened.
There seemed to be a permenant smile plastered on my face even considering the odd cicumstances, it felt absoutley invigorating to live again. Everyone happily hugged me or smiled at me or lifted me off the ground in joy.
"Jack. I can't breathe. Put me down please." I said, struggling for breath.
"Oh sorry, love." He said, putting me down slowly. "Love...I thought I'd never get to say that again."
"Oh, I'm sure you would've said it again." I said to him.
"No, Anna. I sat and thought about that for a while."
"Hm...thinking?" I said, with a huge smile.
"Yes," Jack said, with that same huge smile. "About how...I probably wouldn't be ever able to...get myself to say it...to anyone but you. And with you dead...I--"
Jack eye's suddenly changed from drunken love to worried curiousity. "Anna. How did this happen?"
I nodded my head. "I was waiting for someone to say that. Jack..."
Will hugged me from behind and made me jump. "Anna!" he whispered excitedly in my ear. "I can't believe this. It defys all logic in my head but at this point I don't really care!" he said happily. He gave me a peck on the cheek and smiled widely.
"It's nice to see you again too, Will." I said, still smiling. I hugged him back and turned around to Jack. Who was looking at Will, this time a different look in his eyes.
"Anna." Elizabeth said politely to me as she walked over.
"Elizabeth." I said mimicking her.
"It's wonderful to have you back!" she said, while jumping on me for a hug.
"It's nice to be back Lizzie." I said to her. In other circumstances she would've hit me considering her new nickname, but now I just got a tighter hug.
"But how?" She said, pulling away. "How is it possible? Not that I'm complaining or anything." She added in quickly.
My smile slowly faded away from my face, but not from my eyes. I looked back at Jack, who was first to ask the question.
And when I looked at him...just that small glance. It felt like a newborn romance and an old lover's meeting all at the same time. I felt overwhelmed and overjoyed and felt that Jack would be the one to listen to me...and would be there for me...always.
"Love?" He asked me, as I remained in silence.
"Jack, can I talk to you below deck?" I asked quietly, but with my same voice.
"Of course." he said, while putting an arm around my shoulder. I looked back at Will and Elizabeth and saw her smiling, but Will had a strange, dazed look on his face.
I shook it out of my head as nothing and started to head down the staircase with Jack.
"Okay, Jack...I know I'm going to sound bloody crazy when I say this. But..." I stopped myself. I can't start with the glowing light and strange voices. "Well, I'll need to start from the beginning."
Jack didn't say anything but smiled in acknowledgement.
"They pulled me out of the cellars a few hours after they threw me in there and they shoved me into Barbossa's Quarters. He...well, he persuaded my mind to do something it wanted to do for a long time. And since I never really got over my father...I wanted revenge. But, I never admitted it to myself, which is why it came with such an outburst of...evil." I said as Jack nodded in agreement the whole time.
"You mean the Anna that we saw in the caves was you...it was just--"
"A different, more corrupted, and now dead side." I finished for him. "But, it was you that saved us all Jack."
Jack raised his eyebrows at this. "I know I'm good love...but, I don't think I did that much."
"You did." I said, with a smile. "When you kissed me...you know next to the chest, when you blocked my blow?"
"Yes, I remember." he said knowingly.
"I remembered everything...and the old Anna disappeared completely...I have no idea how...but, you did that." I said to him. "Then, you know, since I knew what was happening the whole time...I remembered the accord that Barbossa made with me and decided that I can make my own loopholes as well. He swore that I'd never get hurt...he swore his life on it. And since he made a completely different person cursed and immortal...I stabbed myself. But, in that moment I knew that everything would be...fine." I finished with a smile.
Jack smiled back and put a hand on my face. "That still doesn't explain why you're here now. I still praying this isn't a dream, Anna."
"It's not." I said. "I went...somewhere and I can't remember what they said, but..certain voices told me that I was still needed in this world."
"And you are, love. Now more than ever." He held me close for a while and kissed me. It was the first time ever since I was five that I felt like I belonged...I truly belonged with a certain person. And that certain person was Captain Jack Sparrow.
Wow guys...that's the end. Isn't that sad? Ah, but no worries. I believe there might be a sequel. Like what happens to Will? Hm...will he take this well or will totally freak out? The more drama the better right? Haha. Well, please review and let me know. It's been a long while for me in the story writing business but a few later reviews hyped me up for it. And I'm planning a sequel in my head right now. Because you all still don't know the whole deal with her father...Hm...Haha. Well, please review and I'll be seeing you all in the sequel. Make sure to look out for it hopefully it will come it will probably be in my profile on my profile page or somewhere in this story. When I update. Cause I'm probably going to update and rewrite some of the things in here. Thank you again guys!
