Disclaimer: Want a beer?
NEW CHAPTER! I want to thank you all SO much for sticking through it all! You have no idea, how much I appreciate it. Here ya'll go.
"Jack, please be honest with me…when will we get to this treasure?" I asked, trying to locate Jack in the darkness.
"In about four days luv…why?"
"Well, it has been a month already…and it's, well…"
"Ye miss yer family." Jack finished for me. I turned around and saw him sitting on a barrel right by the railing of the ship, on the starboard side.
"Exactly." I whispered, taking a seat next to him.
"Thought so…" Jack trailed off looking down at the water.
"What is so important about this treasure anyway? Why on earth do we need it?"
"Ye don't realize how much this treasure is worth and how many people have been after it."
"What happened to them?" I asked curiously, although I think I already knew the answer. Death.
"They died." Jack said. I was right.
"Well, than what makes you think we won't perish to our doom?"
"Ye use too many fancy words…"
"Just answer the bloody question!" I demanded.
"Ye forgot one very important thing me bonny lass…yer with Captain Jack Sparrow."
"We're doomed."
"Wench."
"Oh, and supposedly you love me but you insult me! I'm hurt." I said pretending to wipe away a tear from my eye.
"Yer damn right I love ye but yer annoying as…"
"Look at the stars!" I said cutting him off. I had a thing with stars. "When I was little my grandfather used to take me on top of the highest hill every night and we would just stare at the stars. He would tell me stories about things he had heard from his friends in the pubs, they were mostly about pirates, wenches, treasures, Tortuga and…you."
"Me?" Jack asked.
"Yes…I would beg him to tell me stories about you." I laughed. "My grandfather would bother me about you saying I was obsessed with you and…well, this next part is to embarrassing."
"Tell me."
"Promise not to laugh."
"I swear on pain of death, that I will not laugh at ye no matter how stupid the thing ye say is."
"I used to pretend…to go with you on adventures as your bonny lass!" I looked up at Jack and he laughed. I hit him playfully on the shoulder.
"You said you wouldn't laugh!"
"Pirate."
"Oh how dumb of me to forget that."
"Luv, it's just that…look where ye are now."
I chuckled. "I'm your bonny lass."
"Exactly. That's why it's funny."
"Look at that…" I said changing the subject. "A comet…I haven't seen once since I was ten."
"What is wif ye and tha stars?"
"I already told you." Jack sighed.
"Luv, it's getting late. Let's go ta sleep."
"You go ahead…I'll be up in a bit." Jack nodded, kissed me goodnight and went below leaving me all alone. I looked up and thought about my father.
"Where are you?" I asked. Secretly, a bit of me wanted to leave this ship and fast but a bit of me wanted to stay. Was my father even looking for me? Did he even care that I was gone?
"I want her found immediately. Do you comprehend that?" Gianni asked Captain Hordes.
"Yes sir. Alright men…you bunch are to go look in the town the rest of you look outside of the town."
"I want her back." They nodded.
"Want who back father?" Came the voice of none other than 9 year old Samantha.
"Samantha!" Gianni exclaimed scooping up his daughter and hugging her.
"Where have you been?"
"Out by the lake…with Will. I wanted to see him before we went back to Italy." She gasped trying to breath. He stopped hugging her but kept her in his arms still. "I am sorry for wasting your time Captain Hordes, Commodore Norrington… the same with you all."
"It's quite alright." Captain Hordes said. "Glad to see your safe Samantha."
"Thank you Hordes, James!" Samantha shouted as he walked away.
"Oh Samantha, I was very worried about you!"
"Why?"
"Because you were missing! Never do that to me again…"
"Why?"
"Because I will die if I loose you."
"I'm so sorry father." I said with tears rolling down my face. "I'm sorry."
"Who's out here?" A voice called.
"It's me…Samantha." I croaked.
"Sam!" Will exclaimed running over to me. "Are you alright?"
"No Will. I'm not." I sobbed.
"What? Are you admitting for the first time that you are not okay?"
"YES! Can you imagine what this might be doing to my father? He is old and this is probably bringing strain upon his heart. What if he is sick…or worse, dead."
"Don't say that." Will said shaking me. "Don't ever think that!"
"I'm sorry Will. I'm trying to make myself feel better, but nothing is helping." I said. "I don't remember ever crying this much until I set foot upon this ship." I laughed. "I sound like an old fart." Will laughed.
"Your laughter cures everything."
"Thank you Will." I smiled wiping my face with my sleeve.
"I'm sure your father is fine and is looking for you right now."
"Oh Will…you just made me feel so much better." I said hugging him.
"Sam…look at the stars!"
I laughed for a minute and stopped when Will looked at me as if I was nuts.
"I was waiting for you to say that."
"Sam…let's go to sleep." Will yawned.
"Alright…just hold on for a second." I turned around and looked at the ocean once more and said to my father although he couldn't hear me. "Ti amo, Papa."
Will and I stumbled down the stairs laughing at something we had both remembered from our childhood. Bothering James Norrington. James…a terrific man. I used to have a crush on him, hence the words 'used to.' He is a fine and handsome man that any woman would dream of marrying. Even our friends on the 'Alegre Islands.' Luckily, I would never have to endure his proposal. After all, I was the one who always pulled pranks on him.
"Here's my stop." I whispered to Will as I opened my cabin door. Will and I both laughed some more when we heard Jack talking in his sleep.
"I know ye all want me but ye can't have me."
"He is so very conceited." Will whispered.
"Tell me about it…"
"Only ye can have me…" Jack said pointing at the desk. "Mhmm…Giselle. What about Sam? She's a nut luv."
"HEY!" I yelled. Jack shot up and looked around the room.
"Where did all the lasses go?" He asked.
"I killed them."
"Ye did what?" Jack looked around once more and then looked at me.
"Wait a minute, I don't see any blood ye damn liar."
"I made you drink it."
"I NEED RUM THEN!" Jack yelped as I jumped on him.
"Calm down, I was kidding."
"Oh good…" Jack sighed lying down.
"Can you at least close the door?" Will asked in disgust as Jack and I kissed.
"You shut it." I told him climbing off Jack and slipping under the covers.
"Night Sammie." Will yawned closing the door. "Night Jack."
"Night Willy."
"Night Eunuch." I moved closer to Jack and slowly I felt him put his arm around me. I turned around and he cringed.
"Don't 'urt me."
"I wouldn't dream of it." I yawned falling asleep.
"Follow me Samantha." Jacobs shouted running through the forest.
"Where are we going?"
"Back ta tha fire before we get killed." Suddenly, a loud crash came from behind us and startled me so I turned around for a second and saw nothing. I heard a moan and slowly turned around to find Jacobs, lying in a pit of spikes. I did the first thing that came to my mind, I screamed.
"Luv, wake up." Jack said. I sat up and took deep, heavy breaths. "Wha' 'appened?"
"I had a terrible dream that I was running through the forest with Jacobs and he died."
"Twas only a dream."
"I know I know, what time is it?"
"Well the sun is rising so it's daybreak."
"I'm going out on deck."
"Alright luv." He said going back to sleep.
"Men."
It was still dark out when I went on deck. The sun was slowly coming up, not enough to light up the sky though.
"Sam…morning." I turned around and saw Ana on the helm.
"Hello Banana." She groaned and I sniggered.
"What are ye doing up so early?" She asked.
"Nightmare."
"About wha'?"
"I was running through the forest with Jacobs and then he fell in a pit of spikes and…died."
"Twas only a dream."
"You sound like Jack."
"That is an insult mate!"
"How long have you known him?" I laughed.
"Since we were wee children. We grew up together."
"Oh…that must be why you two are so alike." I told her.
"I hate ye right now." I laughed.
"I know for a fact that you and Jack…"
"There it is." Ana interrupted eagerly. I looked in her direction and saw the Jagara Islands. They were massive. "Go get Jack." Ana told me pushing me down the stairs.
"Ok." I said running down the hall and barging into our room. Jack was sitting at his desk drinking his rum. He looked at me but didn't speak, he just kept drinking.
"Jack, isn't it to early to be drinking?" I asked.
"Not fer me."
"Well…guess what?" I said walking over to him and putting me hand on the chair.
"Wha'?"
"We are at the islands." Jack spit out his rum all over me and ran out of the room.
"Creep." I muttered walking towards the crews quarters.
"GIBBS! Get the rowboats ready."
"Aye aye Captain." Gibbs said waddling over to the row boats and preparing them with some food, weapons and of course…rum.
"Weapons? Is there something I should know about this island?" I asked Gibbs.
"Jack told ye pet." He said rather impatiently. "It's got all sorts of traps where the treasures are."
"Ah…yes. I remember now."
"Samantha." Will yelled from beside me.
"Will, I'm right here." I sighed. He looked at me and laughed.
"Oh…Sam, do you still have that present I gave you?"
"I don't know…I was kidnapped wasn't I?"
"Well, ask Jack. He might have brought your stuff aboard thinking it there were valuables in it."
"Alright." I walked over to the helm where Jack was having another one of his wonderful conversations with Ana.
"Ana, please don't bother me. Listen ta me and everythin' will be fine."
"Jack…the islands are CURSED!" Ana shouted. "I am not getting killed fer one of yer stupid mistakes."
"Oh dear God…what's wrong now?"
"He wants to search at night."
"Jack…you're an idiot."
"Luv!"
"Ha, even yer bonny lass agrees with me." Jack looked at me.
"Sorry, she's right. I have a question for you."
"What is it?" Jack growled.
"Did you happen to bring my things aboard?"
"As a matter o' fact we did. It's in the supply room…ye want me ta help you find it." Jack smiled.
"Sure." I laughed.
"Alright…it's in here somewhere." Jack said pushing some barrels aside.
"There…it's over there!" I said climbing over some boxes and grabbing my bag. I opened it and there was Will's gift. I unwrapped it and gasped.
"Where'd ye get tha'?" Jack asked staring at the sword that was in my hands.
"Will." I smiled admiring my sword. It was a Light Cavalry Saber. I inspected it and saw it had a sharp 1050 carbon steel blade with wide blood groove. It had a black leather wrapped handle with steel guard and pommel. I narrowed my eyes and saw the initials S.D engraved into the handle.
"He's good." Jack stated staring at the sword in awe.
"It's a beautiful sword."
"Yer beautiful." I smiled.
"Jack, not now."
"Oh come on…" Jack said closing the door. "The crew will be fine without me for a few…hours."
"Jack!" I laughed. He advanced upon me and I glared at him playfully.
"No."
"Please luv." He said wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me into him.
"No…but, I can do this." I smiled kissing him passionately on the lips.
"I like that." Jack smiled. "Now, hows about ye give me tha rest."
"You never quit do you?"
"Nope. Stubborn as a…"
"Ass?" I suggested.
"Donkey." Jack said glancing at me. I took this as my chance and I ran out from under his arms and bolted towards the door. I ran all the way out and onto the deck and didn't stop until I found Will.
"Thank you!" I squealed hugging him.
"She liked it?" Elizabeth smiled from beside Ana.
"She loved it!" I told her.
"I thought you would." Will smiled.
"Luv…ye owe me." Came Jack's voice from behind me.
"You're a slow runner." I told him as I climbed into one of the rowboats.
"Alright ye scabrous dogs, ye know yer groups so get moving!" Jack yelled. The crew scurried around getting more supplies and soon we were off to the island.
"Liz, are you sure you're going to be ok?" I asked getting out of the rowboat.
"Oh, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." She smiled.
"I'll take care of her misses." Andrew yelled.
"Wonderful." I said fluffing his hair up. He hit my hand away and frowned. "Sorry."
"Luv, let's go. You can talk later!"
"Coming." I said running to the rowboat again. I climbed in and Andrew lowered us into the icy blue waters. What things awaited us on that island? Would we survive? I looked at the island and frowned. There was something about it, something evil. The wind blew the hair out of my face and the sea water sprayed my face. I looked closely, squinting my eyes and I recognized these islands. My grandfather had come here before he mysteriously disappeared without a trace. I desperately wanted to turn back. The island brought back so many memories and I felt my eyes begin to water. I took some deep breaths and looked away from the island. My grandfather was a great explorer, he was rather famous for it. He had saved the world twice and brought back many riches from all over the world. If he didn't survive this island, would we?
"What's so special about this island?" Will asked.
"It's Barbossa's treasure. He collected tha most since he was immortal fer a while, but since we killed 'em, tha treasure is all alone." Jack explained.
"Do we really need it?" I asked.
"What kind o' question is that?" Ana asked staring at me with wide eyes.
"An important one!" I snapped.
"Luv, its treasure. So, yes we need it!" Jack replied.
"Fine." I sighed. This was one battle I wasn't going to win.
"We meet back here at sunset savvy?" Jack roared.
"Savvy." The crew yelled and ran out into the forest eagerly. I sat by the fire we had built and looked up at the mountain. There was a figure standing in one of the cracks in the wall. My eyes went wide, I blinked once but it remained there. I blinked again and it was gone.
"Ye alright?" Jack asked. I snapped my head in his direction and faked a smile.
"Yes, I'm quite alright."
"Ye don't look it." Ana said.
"Well, I am." Ana threw her hands up in defeat and walked into the darkness with Will.
"Let's go." I said grabbing Jack's hand and dragging him into the forest.
"Luv, ye got us lost. Face the facts." Jack scoffed.
"Jack, if ye say I got us lost one more time. I will castrate ye here." Ana growled glaring at Jack. "Savvy?"
"Savvy." Jack whimpered covering Jack junior.
"Ana, what if we go down there?" I asked pointing to a light. It was very dim so we could barely see it. Ana squinted her eyes and began walking.
"Wait for me." I shouted running after her.
"Luv, be careful." Jack warned.
"Don't you worry about me."
"I can't help it…"
"Aw. That's so sweet."
"Ye always manage ta get yerself into stupidtrouble tha' I have ta get yer arse out of."
"And you just ruined it." I sighed. Will laughed. Ana put a finger to her lips and signaled for me to come over. There was a little rock wall and the light was shining very bright from the other side. I peered over and saw a river.
"Wha' on earth is tha'?" Jack asked.
"The golden ball of Awmenra." I said slowly climbing over the wall.
"Luv. Get yer arse off tha' wall." Jack commanded as he grabbed my leg. "Wait, how did she know tha'?"
"Ana." I sighed. Ana grabbed Jack and tripped him.
"YE DO NOT DO THA' TO THA' GREAT CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW LUV!" Jack yelled scrambling to his feet.
"YE 'AVE THA' BIGGEST EGO IN THA' WHOLE SPANISH MAIN."
"Both of you quiet." I shushed jumping into the water. I stayed under for as long as I could. I lasted for a long time until I heard Jack's worried shouts. I screamed under water and emerged.
"I should kill ye." Jack muttered angrily. I faked a dramatic sigh and pretended to faint in the water.
"Sam!" Jack yelled. I giggled under water and looked around for the light. I spotted it in no time. "SAM!" I furrowed my eyebrows, ignored Jack and swam towards the light. I studied the light for a moment before picking it up. It looked like an orb. Its glow was a shimmering pearl white. The beams were so strong, that I had to squint my eyes to see properly. I picked it up and swam to the surface.
"SAM!"
"What you loud mouth?" I gasped. Jack spun around and glared at me.
"Ye deserve ta die." He hissed. I smiled and handed Ana the glowing ball. She set it on a pile of leaves and we looked at it for a moment.
"Well…" Will began. "What is it?"
"Please, tell me I found something." I asked Ana as she slid her hands across it. Suddenly, it cracked in half.
"And that is why, Ana hasn't been wif a man in years." Ana glared at Jack.
"Make another remark like tha' and I'll touch ye where the sun don' shine." Jack gulped.
"Luv, way ta go. Ye went through all tha' fer nothing." Jack told me.
"Actually, we do need it." Will said picking up a key. Jack stared at it, then he looked at me. He grabbed the key from Will and began walking.
"I still say ye deserve ta die."
A/N: Ok, I know this chapter is kind of boring and not really funny but, HEY, I tried my best to get my brain working again. ( Which is ALWAYS extremely difficult )
Jack: Review ye wonderful lasses. ( Winks )
