People on the ship found it hard to realize that their captain was dead. Well, their first captain. They still had a captain. He however was quite different and had a strong personality. Not that Jack didn't but his opinion was always mellow. Hector made sure everything happened as exactly as he wanted it to. The good thing was that it always did. If he wanted Jack dead he was dead. Except for the freak accident that had happened on that tiny island but no one liked to talk about that. Obviously it wouldn't be surprising if you wanted to get back at the person who killed you and took over your ship. Also if you knew that they were flirting with your wife. These were some of the reasons why Barbossa poisoned him. Barbossa wasn't going to just keep him dead though. He was going to revive him but not at the moment. At the moment he was enjoying himself a quiet night looking at the sea sipping wine. The salty waves sent sprinkles of water onto the captain's face. He couldn't remember the last time he had enjoyed the salty spray of the sea and a quiet night such as this. The moon was shining bright but no longer did he have the curse which had shown him who he truly was. He took another sip of the wine. He smiled. Even though the curse had been lifted a year ago he still savored the taste as if it was his last time. "What are you smiling at?" said a voice. It had been his wife that had interrupted his thought. He turned to her. "What's not to smile about on a night like this?" He grabbed another goblet and poured wine into it. "It is best to enjoy it while ya can." He passed the cup to her. Taking it she took a big gulp and sighed. "I guess it can't get much better than this." she agreed. "Agreed." he replied thinking the same. He turned back to the stars. "Hector, did you ever think of me?" Barbossa felt a jerk of pain in his stomach. "of course." "Tell me the truth." she said seriously. He looked her straight in the eye. "I have always loved you and wished you would have come back. I had just assumed that you were dead." "Dead?" she suddenly felt angry. "even if I was why would you stop? I'm starting to doubt your devotion to me Barbossa. Please just tell me. Was it another woman?" He spun around and grabbed her wrist. "I will not just stand here and let you accuse me of being in love with someone else. Never in my life have I cared for anyone besides you." She tried to pull her arm out his grip but without succession. He gave a great jerk and she found her inches away from him. She could smell spices and wine. "Where were you those 15 years hmm?" he retorted. "I'm sure you gave up and I should be the one accusing you of cheating." "NEVER IN MY DAMN LIFE HAVE I LEFT YOU!" she screamed at him. All this ruckus they had been making made the crew curious. They poked their heads out of the hatch. When they saw the captain, they rushed back to their beds. They knew very well not to disturb his problems. "I bloody was searching the earth for you! I made a deal with several other pirates almost risking my life in some cases to come and help. I never found you until now! Where were you?" she looked very satisfied to get the words out. She expected him to be angry or hurt maybe even loathful. Never had she expected him to be amused. After she spoke those words he chuckled. "Well, that was highly exaggerated." "Pardon me?" she said making sure she heard him correctly. Still smiling, he pulled her into a kiss that seemed to last forever. "Feel better?" he asked when at last they had finished. "mm hmm." she said feeling a little dizzy. "Good. Now let's finish enjoying this lovely night!" Barbossa said cheerily.
