Chapter Two

Elizabeth, Will, and Mr. Gibbs went down below deck to find Mr. Sparrow helping Alena into her bunk.

"Mr. Sparrow. I have here the Captain's first mate. He wishes to meet Alena." Elizabeth said. She glared back at Gibbs. He looked her over.

"Aye, young one ye do look like Jack. My God! I wouldn't have thought.." He trailed off as Elizabeth glared at him, silently warning not to speak of Jack. Alena turned around and looked at Mr. Gibbs.

"And you are?" She asked, warily. Gibbs smiled.

"Mr.Gibbs. Proud first mate of Captain Jack Sparrow." He said proudly. Elizabeth walked Alena on deck.

"You see, Alena, Captain Sparrow disappeared after the dreaded Kraken caught up with his ship, The Black Pearl. As we mourned him, a close friend, Tia Dalma, told us that we were capable of bringing him back. Which, of course, was something we all wanted to do, because Jack Sparrow is just somebody you can't live without once you've had an adventure with him. Captain Barbossa was brought back from the dead by Tia Dalma to captain us through the troubling seas. Once we've found Jack, we must destroy Davy Jones once and for all." Alena was silent.

"Ms. Swann, I think that's a little too much for Alena to take in." came the voice of James. Elizabeth turned to face him.

"It's Elizabeth, Mr. Sparrow, and I thought she loved a good adventure, like her father." She replied. James laughed.

"Aye, Elizabeth. But she has never even imagined having the adventures her father has had. I think we should sit her down and give her the details lightly. Oh, and it's James, Ms. Swann." He said, with a smile. Elizabeth laughed and looked back at Alena. She felt that the child was her responsibility ever since she'd kissed Jack…..Ever since she'd condemned him to the fate of the Kraken. She felt horrible that she'd done such a thing to Will, and to Jack.

"Ye be troubled, Ms. Turner." Came the harsh voice of Captain Barbossa. She smiled.

"I'm not Ms. Turner yet, Captain." She told him.

"Aye, but ye were Turner when we needed ya." Barbossa reminded her.

"And the last time you needed me was when you were determined to be mortal. When you wanted a Turner to kill." Elizabeth said, with a slight of anger in her voice.

"And ye were stupid enough to speak ye name untruthfully. Why don't ye help Miss Sparrow here settle in her cabin?" He said, and walked off to the wheel, where Pintel and Ragetti were fighting over who steered while their Captain was about.

"Shut up, the lot of you!" Barbossa yelled. He took the wheel. "Mr. TURNER WHERE BE YOU?" he yelled, in search for Will.

"Here, Captain!" Will called.

"Come! Ye know where Tia Dalma be!" Barbossa yelled at Will. Will hurried up and looked at Jack's compass. He made a point to think that finding Tia Dalma was what he wanted most.

"Tia Dalma? She's legendary!" Alena yelled as she came on deck. Barbossa allowed her to come to the wheel.

"Yes, she is legendary. And unfortunately hard to find!" Barbossa said. He slammed his fist into the table nearby the wheel.

"But why are we looking for her?" Alena asked.

"She can tell us if Jack is still in the sea." Will told her. He eyed the wooden box Alena held.

"What's in that box?" He asked her. Alena opened it and took out a locket. The locket itself had the pirate emblem on it. The skull with swords crossed by it's neck.

"I've had this for as long as I can remember. But I have never been able to open it. My grandfather says that it will open when I need it the most. When I need the emotional support. But I don't understand what he means." She said. Will took the locket and looked at it closely. It looked oddly familiar. Where had he seen this before? He was certain he'd seen it somewhere.

"Well, Alena, I don't know. Perhaps Tia Dalma can tell us it's meaning." He said. They arrived at a dark swamp about four hours later.

"This has to be where she is." Will told Barbossa. Barbossa nodded. The crew loaded into boats. Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, James, Alena, and Gibbs occupied the first.

"Keep going until you find huts. I'll guide us with the compass." Will told James and Elizabeth. They rowed and rowed and rowed. Alena took over Elizabeth's ore when her arms got tired. Finaly, the compass pointed directly to a hut. The crew unloaded from the boats and approached the hut. Barbossa banged on the door.

" Ooh be dere…Ah, it's dee crew of Captiain Jack Sparrow!" They heard Tia Dalma call. She opened the door.

"Come in! Come in! What does you be needin?" She asked when everyone was in. Will held up the necklace.

"Firstly, we need you to explain this."
