Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"It started long ago." Tinkerbell began softly. "In the beginning, magic had been able to coexist peacefully with humans and there had been no problem. Then, people started being afraid of it, of anything that they did not understand and they started wishing it away. Peter, if people don't want something strongly enough, it will disappear. It's a type of magic all on it's own. So our elders came together and had a brilliant idea. They created a spell that would bind one human child to us, to our entire magical world. One child per generation. One child who believed the strongest and this one child's belief would keep us alive. All that would be expected of this child is a couple of visits." She laughed softly.
"What did you do to me? How was I here and in the real world at the same time?" Jack asked her.
"Your mind was here. We couldn't bring your body here yet because we can't leave this place." Tink explained.
"My nightmares."
"Yes. It was the only way we knew to keep you anchored in both world and somewhat able to understand what was happening in your world when you woke up enough to keep your real body alive."
"And this was enough. Me only here in my dreams." Jack wondered skeptically.
"Yes, it was." His fairy informed him. "We brought you here to us in your mind and since you believed, it was enough. You were here and you were real to us and this was good for then. We needed you to come back of coarse, which is why you are here now." Jack nodded at that to show that he understood having ran out of more questions to ask.
"You know, you were always different then the other children." Tink said reminiscently. "All the other children were always completely happy here alone, exploring. You on the other hand wanted playmates, so we brought more children here to keep you happy and to keep you occupied for the duration of your stay."
"But they left." Jack whispered softly.
"Yes. They left and we let you go. You did well, Captain Jack Sparrow. You can go back to your friends for now. I'll be here, always with you but they won't be able to see me yet. Only before you go, I need to bond you back to the island, to reaffirm your bond. Give me your hand Peter."
"Why do you call me Peter?" He asked.
"That's what you called yourself." Came the simple answer. "It's the only name I remember for you. Do you even remember the one that you were born with?" Tink asked gently.
"No. Are Will and Anamaria…?" His voice trailed off, unwilling to face what he was asking even as he was asking it but Tink nodded in response.
"Yes Peter." She admitted. "Give me your hand." He handed it to her numbly and then melted into the warmth that radiated through her into him, filling him, completing him…
"No!" He lunged away from the fairy, scrambling backwards on the bed, hardly aware that there was nowhere left to go. "No." He whispered hoarsely again. "I'm already complete."
"What?" Tinkerbell searched his eyes curiously and without warning, grabbed his face in both hands, holding him tightly with inhumane strength so that he could not move. "Oh Peter, what did you do?" She murmured.
"What? What did I do?" Jack asked, coming back to himself.
"You bonded with her didn't you?" Tinkerbell sighed on a laugh touching her forehead to his. "We shouldn't have left you alone in that world."
"What did I do?" he asked again.
"You bonded with the Pearl you silly. It's going to hurt you know. The island and the boat will pull on you from two different directions all the time and the pain is not going to go away. It's just going to decrease or increase for short periods of time, depending on where you will be." The fairy explained. "When you will be away form your ship, it will pull at you and call you and that will hurt. When you will be aboard, that pain will lessen, but the pull and call of the island will be stronger and will hurt more. A constant tug and pull no matter where you are."
"When I bonded with the Pearl, it must have been before she was taken from me. I remember the pain." Jack told her flatly. "Can this double bond kill me?"
"No, I don't think so. If you want, we can break the bond to your ship…" She suggested timidly, already knowing how the man would respond to that suggestion and was proven right when Jack Sparrow shook his head vehemently.
"I can deal with the pain but I won't let you take the Pearl away from me. Not again." He told her, handing her his hand again. "Do it. Complete the other bond."
"Alright." The warmth filled him again and this time, Jack did not pull away. He let it fill him completely and embraced the pain that followed. "Go back to them Peter. They are worried." Tinkerbell told him when it was all over.
"They…" He couldn't talk about it yet. Not with the newly regaining memories still swirling in his scull. There had been too many betrayals in his life and this one hurt more then the others partly because it was one of the first.
"You were but children Peter. Talk to them, ask them what went wrong." Tink suggested, knowing, as always, as before, his problem before even he did. They left the big tree together and Jack started back out towards where they had made camp when he suddenly stopped and turned around, the classic Captain Jack Sparrow grin back on his face.
"Can I fly?" He asked.
"You can do anything you want. This is yours." Tinkerbell whispered with a wave of her hand that showed the expanse of the island. "Thank you for believing." She said as she became small again and began to fly away in the opposite direction. "Just call if you need me. I'm always here for you Peter." The tiny fairy whispered into the Captain's ear before her glow took her deeper into the forest and Jack started out toward the beach with a shocked smile on his face.
