"This...is...insane." Will was murmuring breathless while they climbed the mountain.
"Owh shut it, if yer not a eunuch, it's time to prove it now." Jack said annoyed as he walked about 5 meters in front of Will.
Jack badly wanted to know what was all about that ruby.
He was the first who reached the top, and indeed before sunset.
Jack turned around and had a wonderfull view of the town now.
"Can't blame she's living up here." He said while he let his hands leaning on his side, watching the sunset.
Will totally out of air, and sweat all over his body collapsed on the ground.
"How can you...climb this moutain so fast, yer much older then me?"
Jack pouted his lips and looked down at him.
"It's because I'm not a eunuch, and don't hang out with fancy people who sit on there bum all day."
Jack seemed to be serious, he turned around and looked at the house.
"Well that looks pretty comfy to me." he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Will stood up and waited behind Jack, he watched as a crow flyed away from the roof, this place looked deserted.
No one made open so Jack knocked another time, he stopped when the door creaked, it went open himself a little.
Jack smirked. "Ah, what a hospitality." Jack started slowly to sneak into the house.
"Jack, you can't just walk in like that." Will followed behind him.
Jack ignored Will but looked around the strange house.
it seemed this lass had pretty much... old stuff, and lot's of...shiny things.
Jack couldn't keep his eyes away from the ruby's...and this woman had a lot.
He noticed a ring, with a blue ruby in it, he picked it up and was about to shove it on his finger untill he heard a voice.
"Mind if ye put that back Jack Sparrow?"
Jack shocked a bit, the ring fell out his hands on the ground, he looked around him untill a woman stepped forward from the shadows.
She wasn't tall, but she looked like she knew how to stand her ground, she had a serious look on her face.
And the large scar over her right eye made it even more serious.
Wearing a every day pirate clothes she sat down at a large round black table, playing with her blond hair.
Jack watched her, a bit uneasy cause this woman seemed to show no emotion or expression on her face.
"How do ye know my name?" Jack finally said.
The lass smiled. "Everyone know's yer name in this town, yer the one who took care of that is it not"
Jack said nothing but just seemed to keep a save space between him and her.
"Don't be afraid Sparrow, I don't mean ye no harm." Then she smiled evil. "Yet"
"Well that sure ease me down." Jack said rather sarcastic.
Will looked a bit uneasy too,"Why are you living up here all alone?" He carefull asked.
The lass smiled and said: "To run away from all the commotion, when I don't sail I be here enjoying the peace"
Then she turned her head towards Jack again, being a lot more nicer now. "But let's tell ye my name, "bonnie-Lisa, Pirate in heart and vein."
Jack smiled. "Aha, nice to be meating ye luv, I've heard you are the one who can help me out with something"
Bonnie raised a eyebrow." And that would be"
"This." Jack pulled out the cloth again and showed it to Bonnie.
Bonnie bended over the table towards the ruby which Jack laid down on it.
She was silent for a moment "That's interesting." She said.
Jack smirked already, knowing when he said that, it would be something good, or indeed very interesting.
Her eyes went wide for a moment, she looked up at Jack. "Where did you find this?"
Jack gestured his hands. "Somewhere in a cave in the caribbean, can't remember the place"
He sat down at the same table, so did Will. "But can ye tell me, what's it worthy"
"worthy?" Bonnie started. "This belongs to an ancient dragon, there are two ruby's, both are his eyes." Bonnie got excited.
"Dragon?" Jack raised a eyebrow.
"Aye, people said, that if ye put both the ruby's back it would come to live"
She stepped towards Jack still excited. "You brought back the missing one, there had alway's been one in his place, but the other got missed"
Jack looked puzzled, "I'm sorry luv, but I don't believe in ancient dragon's and all that."
Bonnie seemed annoyed. "Owhh, ye must find out if the legend is true, ye have to go to it"
Jack didn't seemed he wanted to go. "What's so great about a ancient dragon if there is no treasure to be found"
I hadn't finished my story yet." She snapped a little at him, but he hushed.
"Well, it also say's he guards a treasure, more worthy then Port Royal itself."
Now Jack was excited as well. "Now that's what I wanted to hear"
Will seemed to enjoy the story too. "Where is this ancient dragon, where is this place we have to go"
"China." Bonnie said flat.
"CHINA?" Both Jack and Will said shocked.
"Formosa to be exactly." She smiled like it was a pretty normal to go there.
"So yer saying we have to sail all the way to Formosa, just for a ancient dragon and a treasure?" Jack asked.
Bonnie only nodded.
"Good We do it." Jack's only word was.
"Are you really planning to go there?" Will thought Jack was going insane.
Jack smirked. " of course I do lad, who can ever say he found a treasure more worthy then Port Royal itself?"
Will had to agree with Jack for once. "So when do we go then?" Will asked Jack.
Bonnie interrupted, "I think ye two should better rest here for the night, those woods can be dangerous at night"
Both Jack and Will looked at her. "I'm not even going out myself then"
Jack agreed, "Well yer right, we sail out tomorrow morning."
So they stayed and had some late dinner that tasted pretty good.
Will told them goodnight, because he still was tired from climbing that mountain.
Jack who couldn't really sleep, because of the story Bonnie told him, sat down near Bonnie's fireplace.
She was poking with a stick into the fire, keeping it warm and comfy.
Jack watched her when she kept her eyes on the fire, those chairs they where sitting both in where pretty comfy too.
"Can I ask what happend?" he suddenly said.
Bonnie looked at him when she putted a blanket over her shoulders.
"Happend what?" She asked a bit confused.
Jack raised a finger towards his right eye, Bonnie quickly looked back into the fire.
"owh that." She said uneasy like she felt ashamed.
She smiled fake and kept her eyes on the fire, poking with her stick again.
"There was a fight, a long time ago...not really something I want to talk about this late night"
Jack looked at her for a moment not saying a word then also into the fire, his eyes sparkled and his shiny brown eyes, seemed to colour dark orange.
Afther a silence Bonnie sighed deep. "I'm getting to bed, ye can stay her if ye like, I wouldn't mind."
She stood up and smiled bitterly.
Jack was a bit surprised about her suddenly hastly move. "I'm not tired yet, I stay up a little longer"
Bonnie nodded "Goodnight"
"Goodnight." Jack said back, and bonnie made her way towards her bed, Jack watched her untill she dissapeared.
Jack stayed up for a little longer but then finally, sleep seemed to take over.
Not really wanting to stand up because he was too lazy, he grabbed Bonnie's sheet and placed it over himself.
Slowly he shut his eyes, and drifted off in deep sleep.
In the morning his eyes shot open when he heard a lot of noise.
A bit puzzled and confused he opend his eyes, looking around him, wondering where the hell he was.
He saw bonnie, running from left to right, a leather bag in her hand.
The hanging, but not before a storyJack putted the sheet away and stood up, "What do ye think yer doing?" He said still dreamy.
She stopped and looked up at him, "Packing my stuff, what does it look like"
Jack was fully awake now. "Yer going with us?"
Bonnie seemed annoyed. "Aye of course I am, ye don't think afther telling ye my story, I just let you take the price ey?"
Jack sighed deep and he watched Will, wondering what he thought about it.
But Will just shrugged his shoulders, there was no way this lass was going to stay.
"And, I'm the one who know's the way into Formosa"
"I've got a compass who leads me there." Jack snapped a bit.
"Well that compass arent going to show you where ye can find that dragon, whatever yer compass can or can't." She said, not knowing what kind of compass Jack carried.
Jack sighed and said no more.
When all three where ready, Bonnie locked her door when they where outside.
"Ready?" Jack said looking at both Will and Bonnie.
"Aye." Bonnie said while Will's face looked pale.
"So now, I have to go all the way down again?" He whined.
Jack hitted him with his elebow. "Don't be such a eunuch, now let's move."
Jack started to walk followed by Bonnie and Will.
"What's a eunuch?" Bonnie asked Jack wondering what it means"
"Will is." Jack said not even looking back, but keeping his eyes on the road.
"Owh." Bonnie said still puzzled and looked behind her towards Will.
Will just annoyed shrugged his shoulder, not knowing the answer either.
