I apologize for the tardyness of my update. The only way to make it up to you? TWO CHAPTERS!
Take what you can…
Gabrielle knew Barbossa's exact reasoning for being here, but still it seemed too good to be true.
"Barbossa, this will be two of three if you help me," she said hopefully
"Why do you think I'm helping? The sooner I right my wrongs against Jack the better. Here." He handed her a box.
"What's this for?"
Barbossa laughed. "A gift, to help you find what you want." Gabrielle didn't know what to do with it. "It's a compass. Just think about what you want most, which, since I'm here I'm assuming is Sparrow and it will give us our heading." Gabrielle closed her eyes and thought hard about Jack. She made sure his image was burned in her brain. She heard the irritated sigh of Barbossa. Ignoring it she slowly opened her compass. It spun for a moment then stopped and did not budge. Barbossa leaned over her shoulder. "Good!" Barbossa then walked away, shouting orders on his way to the helm.
Gibbs couldn't believe their luck. Jack had happened upon a ship on his way to God knows where. A spec of good pirating, at last. Will and Elizabeth did not realize what was going on until Jack gave the orders for the cannons to fire.
"Please, Jack, can't your pirating wait till you drop us back at Port Royal," Elizabeth asked.
Jack smirked. "This coming from the girl who condemned Jack Sparrow to death? I think I will be making the decisions, love. You've grown soft since the last time I saw you."
Will glared at Elizabeth, "Besides, who said anything about going back to Port Royal?"
"What! Will, you must be joking!"
"Aye, you must be joking, William. Who said I'd keep you on," asked Jack. "Get ready to board," He yelled to the crew.
"Take what you can, give nothing back," they chanted back. As the crew prepared to board, Gibbs noticed Jack still at the helm.
"Ye be comin' as well, cap'n?" Jack didn't appear to hear him. "Will? Elizabeth?"
"Aye," said Will.
"What? We can't! We could be hanged!"
"We are already wanted for helping Jack, sentenced to death, need I remind you!" Elizabeth couldn't speak. Jack, was annoyed by the lover's quarrel. Will followed Gibbs onto the ship.
"You better make up with him soon, little Lizzie. Or else you'll be over board my ship faster then you can say 'I'm not sorry'". Elizabeth stormed to the other side of the ship, while Jack pulled out his compass.
"I know what I want, I know what I want," He opened up the compass and it spun around and around. "I want, I want, I want…" He closed his eyes pictured Breezy in his mind. When he opened the compass, it still pointed in the opposite direction of World's End. He sighed. Maybe pillaging the ship would make him feel better.
