Ch. 15

"What's wrong brother? It's not like you to be so gloomy." I said softly.

I waited for Will to talk; he didn't like being pushed to say something, especially when it was about how he felt. I crossed one of my legs over the other and rested my head in my hand. I had an idea about what was a matter, but I wasn't going to say anything until he did.

"I don't know what to think Gabriella." He said quietly, running a hand through his hair. "After you and Jack were taken by the Kraken, Elizabeth has been avoiding me like the plague..." he let out a deep, shaky sigh, bowing his head down in between his knees. "I don't know what to do either... sometimes I question whether she really loves me or not..." I reached over and ruffled his hair a bit, a small smile on my face when he looked up at me. It wasn't often I did that to him, after all, he is older than me by a year.

"Willy, you should talk to Elizabeth about what happened. She's probably confused about what she did and doesn't know how to handle it, or maybe she does, but her reasons are holding her back." I said softly. Will took my hand and held it in his own. "I know I should... but I'm afraid that she doesn't care for me like I do for her." He whispered the hurt and worry clear in his voice.

I placed my other hand around his and gave it a soft squeeze. "The only way you'll know is by talking to her, not your sister, who hardly knows what she's doing." I teased him. Will chuckled weakly and ruffled my hair playfully. "I think you do know what you're doing and I hope that you're doing the right thing." He said with a weak smirk. I stood up and kissed Will's forehead lightly, just like he has done to me, time and time again. "Go to Elizabeth Willy, she needs you. You can trust me, I've never let you down yet, kinda." I whispered and walked past him, out of my cabin, letting Will think stuff over.

I walked up deck and went over to Dalma, she was looking down at the dark water, watching the Spirits. I stood beside her, bringing out the dream catcher and let it hang down. "Was that his job? To ferry all of these souls?" I asked quietly, not taking my eyes off the souls. She didn't reply to me, she only did when Ragetti and Pintel came over carrying cannon balls with them. She told us that Calypso, goddess of the sea gave Davy Jones the task of ferrying the souls that died at sea to the other side, then once every ten years, he could go to shore to be with the woman that loves him, truly. But that he had now become a monster. I looked at Dalma, and saw the locket that I knew she cherished. Ragetti then asked if he wasn't always tentacly. Dalma smiled knowingly and held her locket in her hands, and said that he was a man once.

We then saw boats heading towards us and all of us gathered on the main deck, looking at the boats that were coming towards us. From what I could see, there were many of them, but they didn't look natural to me, not like the souls did. Elizabeth came up beside Will, who was beside me, and saw her father. She shouted to him, but Jack stopped her, telling her that we weren't back. Elizabeth didn't believe it and called to her father again, this time he heard her. I instinctively moved towards Will, not liking what I was hearing when Governor Swan started telling us about Davy Jones' chest, and how if you stab his heart, then theirs must take its place and sail the ocean for eternity. He then looked away, saying how it was a silly thing to die for. Elizabeth was now freaking out, and ordered someone to cast a line for him. When she casted it, she told him to grab it, and to come back with them. He didn't though, and that caused her to panic some more. Dalma told everyone that she cannot leave the ship. Everyone went to grab her except for Jack and I. My reason was because I was trying to figure out why this was happening, I didn't know what Jack's reason was, I didn't really want to know it either.

The sun was now in the air heading towards sunset, but we've run out of water and rum, to the disappointment of most of the crew. I walked over to Jack, who was hunched over Barbossa's map. "Any luck?" I asked quietly, bending over his shoulder, so our faces were parallel to one another. He turned he face towards me, and I looked back at him with a raised eyebrow. "No." He said blandly and showed me the map. The first thing he showed me was 'Sunrise sets flash of green.' Then he showed me 'Up is down.' I thought about this, trying to figure that out. I had to blink my eyes a bit, hoping that I wasn't seeing what I thought I was seeing. Two miniature Jacks were on Jack's shoulders, whispering to him what to do.

"Can I keep one?" I asked randomly, in the middle of their conversation. I picked up one of the miniature Jack's and held him in the palm of my hand. The three of them looked at me oddly, and I just tilted my head a bit. "What?" I asked. They shook their heads at me. The one that was still on Jack was facing the ocean.

"Well come sunset and it won't matter." He said with a bit of a shrug. That was when both Jack's and my eyes widen. "Not sunset. Sundown! And Rise... up!" we said together and grinned.

We then went over to one of the sides pointing at something. "What's that?" we asked going over to the side. We then went over to the other side as well looking at something, and thankfully, the others started to follow us, curious. Once on that side, we then ran back to the side we were on before, and soon, bit by bit, everyone was following us to rock the ship. We continued running, feeling the Pearl start to tip, but we needed more weight to help it flip over. By now the Pearl was tipping so much that we had to grab onto the railing so we didn't fall off, then when it was safe, let go and run to the other side to do the same thing. Soon we were handing for our lives as the Pearl tipped over fully into the water. I relaxed my grip a little, but still had it tight enough so that I wouldn't be fall off like a few of the other's did. Those who couldn't hold on any longer, grabbed the rope of the ship to stay a board. It was then that a green flash appeared once the sun had fully touched the horizon. Jack looked up with an odd expression on his face, that I followed with my own. We were then pushed upwards, and Pearl broke the surface of the water, causing everyone to crash down onto the deck, with water washing over us.

I coughed a bit, pushing myself up. That was when Barbossa pulled out his pistol and aimed it at Jack, then like it was rehearsed, Jack, Elizabeth, Will and I brought out ours, and soon we were aiming it at the other. Barbossa had one aimed at Will and myself, mine were aimed at Barbossa and Elizabeth, hers were aimed at myself and Jack, his were aimed at Elizabeth and Will and Will's were aimed at Jack and Barbossa. Soon we were laughing, about what I don't know, then things got serious again, and tricky when everyone started switching their targets. I just kept one on Barbossa and Elizabeth. When Jack fired his pistol, nothing but water came out. I shook my head and put my pistols back in their holders.

Will came up with a plan to go to a nearby island and restock there. Jack and Barbossa both didn't want to leave the Pearl into the other's hands. Will though, suggested that they both go and leave the ship in his hand, temporarily. I shook my head at my brother, and gave his a look that he ignored. I knew what he was planning, not the full extent, but I knew he was planning something.

Once we reached the shore, Jack , Barbossa and I saw something. Without saying anything, Jack and I started walking towards it. It was the Kraken, in all of its glory, except that it was dead. I couldn't help but frown at that. Jack and I went over to its head and I couldn't help but stare at its yellow, orange eye. I couldn't help but feel sorry for it, it didn't deserve this death. Apparently Jack agreed with me, since the look on his face, matched how I was feeling. I walked around the Kraken, letting Barbossa and Jack talk. I placed a hand on the Kraken's head and leaned against my hand, closing my eyes.

"What did you do to deserve this fate? I thought you were Jones' precious creature of the sea." I whispered. Jack came over to me a few minutes later and placed a hand on my shoulder, giving it a bit of a squeeze. "Sometimes I wonder how yer a pirate luv." He whispered quietly and pulled me back. "Come on, we need to get our supplies." With an arm around my shoulder all of us walked into the jungle. We stopped though once we got to a pool. That was where Barbossa put some of the water into his mouth then spat it back out, saying that it was poison. After that though, we were told that we had some company and Tai Huang and his men pulled out their pistols and surrounded us.

We were taken back to the Pearl with Jack hiding behind Barbossa. The person, Sao Feng, was one of the Pirate Lords, which I had read about when I was younger. He went over to Jack and punched him in the nose. I was right beside him, and I heard it crack. I couldn't help but flinch as Jack cracked it back into place. I looked over to Will hurt that he didn't warn me. I made a face at him, one that was full of disappointment and betrayal. When Will tried to tell me something through his eyes I just looked away, going over to Marty, Ragetti, Pintel and Jack the Monkey, who climbed onto my shoulder. Jack then made a speech and asked if anyone came to rescue him, just because they missed him. The group I was with all raised their hand and Jack walked over to us. Before he could get very far though, Sao Feng grabbed him, saying that an old friend would like to see him. Before anything could be done though, Jack grabbed my hand.

"She comes with me." Jack said, pulling me over to him. It was then that Sao Feng grabbed Jack's arm, causing him to release me. "No. She stays here. There is something interesting about her..." he said taking my hand and walked around me, looking at me, and causing me to feel like I was on display.

I looked over at Jack with weary eyes, silently asking him to do something, I didn't like being looked at like I was a piece of meat. It made me feel odd and very self conscious. Sao Feng kept a hand on my shoulder while Jack debated what he was going to do.

"How about this. I bring her with me, to see my ol' pal, then after that we'll come right back." Jack said putting his hands together and pointed them to me. Sao Feng thought about it as he drummed his fingers on my shoulder, getting very close to my neck, making me really want to pull away and cringe.

"No. Miss Turner will stay here." Sao Feng said, and from what I could guess, was smiling. I shrugged off Sao Feng's hand and walked over to Jack. "I go with Jack." I stated pulling out one of my daggers and pointing it at Sao Feng's neck. I looked over at Will and shook my head once more before turning to Jack, who looked quite pleased. I put my dagger back and let the royal navy take up to see Beckett.

Once we were at the ship, Jack was pushed inside the cabin after they released us from the handcuffs they placed around us. I raised an eyebrow at them expectantly, but they ignored my look. "Untie me." I told them, but they ignored me once more. I told them once more to untie but, but again, they ignored me. Once ignored, I can take it, twice ignored, fine, after all I am a pirate. But getting ignored three times in a row, someone will have a bit problem. I was standing in between two guards, my hands bound, no one to bother, with nothing to do, and I can still easily access my daggers that were attached to my arms. `Poor bastards... they don` know what they got èmselves into.` I thought smirking wickedly on the inside.
