A/N Here I am.. so.. ghe.. yeah.. a short chappie this one.. sorry about that.. but I was a little bit busy today.. Chloe.. dear.. I know you're a bit young.. but in those times.. it was perfectly normal for you to.. you know.. well.. just read the chapter.. you'll know what I mean..
Chapter 12: Evil!
"How
is she?"
"Still asleep"
"She took it pretty
hard didn't she?"
"Yeah.. well.. what would you expect?
He was her boyfriend for crying out loud!"
Actually.. I'm not
asleep.. but I don't want to acknowledge the fact that I'm here.. and
he isn't.. why can't I wake up from this nightmare?
Will has been
very quiet the whole afternoon.. logical of course.. Jack was his
friend.. and now.. now they're both gone.. but somehow Will can't
seem to look me in the eye.. almost as if he feels guilty about
something.
I
swallow back a sob and turn around again, facing the wall.
But
then I hear a familiar voice, female..
"Will! I just heard..
are you ok?" Chloe!
With a start I sit up straight.
"Chloe!
You're here! It's.. they.. hurt" I start crying again..
Chloe
is Will's wife.. they're happily married for over a year now (A/N
see Ship Ahoy for more explanations) and I am so very glad to see
her.
I
jump out of bed and start hugging her really tight, crying my eyes
out. Everybody else leaves the room, leaving only me and
Chloe.
"Shh.. hey.. it's ok.. it's alright to cry" Chloe
is shushing me.. and for the first time since this morning I can feel
myself calm down.
Still sniffling a bit I dry my eyes.
"They..
they.. Killed.."
"Yes I know.. I came here as fast as I
could.. this isn't how I imagined our reunion you know?"
Smiling
a bit through the tears I take a shaky breath. I need to distract my
mind from things a bit.
"So..
what have you and Will been up to.. Mrs Turner?"
"Well..
we got officially married.. and I live in Port Royal now.. and..
well.. Will doesn't know this yet.. but.. how would you like to be an
aunt?"
An
aunt.. well.. yeah.. but my sister doesn't even have a boyfriend yet
so.. suddenly I get what she's saying.. and for the moment I forget
the grief.
"Oh.. my.. god.. you're pregnant! You're carrying
a miniature Orlando Bloom!"
Chloe laughs
"Yeah.. sort
of.. quite unexpected.. but still.. "
"Congratulations!
Well.. you two have been quite busy this last year" -nudge
nudge-
"Lona!"
Chloe's face looks bright red suddenly.. wonder why?
"Ahem..
anyway.. we had a quiet little life last year, our own cute house..
little puppy.. white fence.. you name it.. we've got it.. Jack
stopped by a few times to visit.. and Will helped him with this
little project of sorts.. something to do with false trapdoors and a
treasure"
False trapdoors.. why would Jack.. wait a minute.. no! I'm going to kill that son of a.. both of them!
All my pain and sorrow is forgotten all of a sudden.. My head feels clear and sharp.. And a plan is rising in my head.
"I
need your help"
"Sure.. what do you want me to do?"
"I
need to get in touch with Barbossa Jr."
Suddenly
the door bursts open and everybody pours back in, shouting
objections, trying to make themselves be heard first.
I clamp my
hands over my ears and scream out loud:
"Shut up! Everybody
shut up!"
The room falls very quiet, I almost can hear a pin
drop.. if I would drop a pin that is..
"Now.. I really need
to get in touch with Barbossa Jr.. he is the one who sentenced Jack
and Jasper to death.. I want his skin! And I want him skinned while
he is still alive!"
Mary
tries to put her hand protectively on Will's shoulder, but before her
hand even reaches within 5 inches of his body Chloe growls and hisses
at her.
"Mine!" she snaps under her breath, taking
Will's arm and leading him to the other end of the room.
I
didn't notice this and continue talking
"I want revenge.. and
not only from Barbossa.. but I swear, here before you all.. that it
will be Barbossa who suffers the most from the mistake he made.. and
that mistake was that he made me believe my boyfriend was dead.. and
Jack.. of course"
Norrington's eye twitches
"Sparrow
isn't dead then?"
"He isn't dead.. neither is Jasper..
but both of them will be wishing they were if I ever get my hands on
them before I cool down enough"
Mary
sighs and raises her hand, to show that she has a question.
"All
good and dandy.. but that still leaves a few questions open.. most of
them starting with Why.. Why would they make you believe they were
dead?"
"They didn't anticipated that I would know this..
I don't know why they didn't think I would see that whole charade..
but Jasper's face said enough.."
I
look at Will.. who is trying to hide behind Chloe.. which isn't
working because Will is way taller than she is.
"Now
everybody out! Except for Chloe and Will.. I need to talk to them..
and I have a favour to ask"
You
know.. I feel really bitchy and bossy right now.. me like! With my
hands clasped behind my back I wait until everybody has left the
room.
Then I break down again, crying I walk towards Will and
start shaking him by the shoulders.
"They're alive.. aren't
they? Tell me! What did you and Jack come up with! Trapdoors! Tell
me!"
Chloe gently lays a hand on my shoulder, a sign for me
that I should calm down.
Will
looks away
"They're alive.. for now"
What does he
mean?
Will combs with his fingers through his hair, looking a
little bit worried.
"The hangman was a friend.. the figures
you saw at the end were dummies.. but I don't know where they are
now.. probably taken captive by Barbossa"
Chloe
looks shocked
"What? Will! You've been hiding this from us
all this time? You saw how.. how.. you.. "
"Yes I know..
and I am sorry.. I should have.. I mean.."
Impatiently I wave
his stuttering away
"Yes yes.. don't worry.. I'll blame it
all on Jack.. he should be used to it by now.. I think I now where
they are.. if I know Jack that is.."
Will
looks relieved.. but he's not getting away with it that
easily
"Will.. I need a favour from you.. "
"You
name it.."
"I want you to teach me how to use a sword"
There.. they're alive! I just couldn't sleep with the thought of a dead Jack Sparrow swimming in my mind.. and Jasper of course.. who didn't like the fact that his Alter Ego was hung.. tsk..
