Thank you mates!

Chapter 13:
Dreams and Wants

The streets were silent, not a word could be heard. I looked through the bars of the small window that was on the back wall of my cell. I looked at the streets, and I noticed that there was one couple on the left to my cell. I smiled at them as they walked further and further away from the jail. They were hand in hand I noticed, and that reminded me of yesterday when I was in the other jail cell holding Elizabeth's hands. I closed my eyes as the streets clock stroked midnight. I listened to its chimes before drifting off to sleep.

I stood in the middle of the Black Pearl facing the direction of the wind. I felt the breeze hit my skin lightly as I began to think of my life and the freedom that I was about to experience. I then walked towards the steering wheel and placed my hands on it sighing. I smiled as I saw Gibbs walk up to me and he say while handing me a bottle of rum "Captain Jack Sparrow, when do we set sail?"

I looked down at the deck with a quite depressed look on my face. Gibbs cleared his throat and asked, "Perhaps when she comes?" I raised my head and gave him a small smirk while saying "I don't believe she's coming mate. She seems perfectly happy here."

Gibbs then walked up to me and smiled at me and said "Aye Captain. Any orders?" I looked out into the sea and replied, "Not just yet, I'm not quite ready to leave." Gibbs nodded and said to me "Aye, Aye. But if I could say, Captain without you ripping out my bones; every pirate Lord needs a Lady." I looked out into the ocean sadly while saying "Not this one, mate."

I awoke to the splash of cold water on my face. I looked around my jail cell and whispered out loud "It was a dream?" I looked at my right hand where I was usually kept my rum bottle and then smiled while muttering, "Of course it was a dream. There was rum".

I got up as I noticed that the door to the jail cell was open. I smiled and looked around and put on my hat and I made a run for it. When I reached the bars they all of a sudden closed on me, and I bumped straight into them. I fell backwards to the ground as I heard someone laughing. I rubbed my head to try to make the pain go away, and I looked up at the person that was laughing at me.

"I honestly did not think that you would fall for that one, Jack". I then narrowed my eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing here Turner?" Will pulled up a chair and sat in front of the bars of my cell and then he began to explain, "I volunteered to watch you." I smiled and said sarcastically "What a nice surprise." Will nodded and then said to me "Indeed. (Pause) So tell me Jack, what were you just dreaming about before I rudely awakened you?"

I placed my hat on my head while replying in a question "What interest is it to you?" William then smiled and asked, "Were you dreaming of what you want most?" I looked at him confused and asked, "How do you know about that mate?" William then put his hand into his pocket and pulled out my compass. I then gasped and said "How did ye get that from me?"

Will then smiled and started to play with it while responding "It's funny what people cannot hear when they are sleeping. Especially you, Jack. With your thumb in your mouth and everything." I then said angrily "My thumb being in my mouth is no concern of yours whelp! Now, give me my compass back." Will then grinned and asked, "Why should I Jack? You will be dead tomorrow anyway."

I then stood up and said "What interest is it to ye?" Will then pushed his chair back with one foot and then stood up while answering "Lord Beckett desires this compass, and it is my great honor to give it to him." I then nodded angrily and say "You know William, you're not acting like yourself mate."

Will then smiled and asked, "Then how am I acting Jack?" I then thought about his question but he answered it for me "Like a pirate? Especially one pirate individual who only thinks of himself." I then gave him an upset look while asking, "Now I wonder, who could that be?" Will then smiled and said "You, Jack. Your selfish and intolerable characteristics seem to have Elizabeth hypnotized. But you and I both know that she's not the one for you Jack. She is the Governors daughter and you're a pirate."

I then grin at him while walking closer to the bars. I then hold onto the bars and say to him "Thanks mate for stating the obvious. But what the bloody peanut, aren't you a black smith? A black smith and a Governors daughter seems like a poor match to me whelp." Will then said angrily "At least I would treat her well". I smiled and then asked surprised "And you think that I won't? (Pause) We've gotten a bit off track with these said talks about 'lizabeth."

I then put my hands through the bars quickly and wrapped my hands around Will's throat. I then hold his throat firmly but not too tight because I still needed him for information. I then said sternly "Give me back my compass eunuch, or else I will be forced to add another murder to my list of crimes". Will then slightly smiled and asked, "Why does it matter Jack?" I then began to squeeze his neck a little more and then I say, "It just does alright! Besides, it is none of your business."

Will did not budge so I said negotiating "If you give me back my compass, I promise to let you go and maybe just maybe I'll tell why it is so important to me". Will then dropped my compass and I bent down quickly and picked it up and smiled and then I took a few steps backwards. Will then cleared his throat and then I asked confused "Have you got something in your throat mate? Well, why don't you try putting your head in a basin of water, trust me that'll clear the throat right up."

Will then sighed angrily and said "No, Jack. You said you would tell me why you keep your compass so dear to your heart?" I then nod and then say proudly "No mate. I said maybe I'd tell you. It was a maybe then, and now it's a nay. Sorry to spoil your little eunuch dreams but this compass is mine and I keep it dear to me heart for a reason that you will never ever, and doubtfully by no means possible will you ever know, savvy?"

I then heard footsteps coming down the stairs towards my cell. I then stared at the empty corridor as Will began to say "I suggested that your hanging be today, it is probably the Royal Navy coming to shackle you down and take you towards your death". I raised my eyebrows as I saw that it was not the Royal Navy but it was Elizabeth so I chuckled and then said to Will "Or it could be 'lizabeth. Unless she's got 20 navy solders hidden in that bodice of hers, which is quite unlikely, then it is defiantly not the Royal Navy".

Will then rolled his eyes as he saw Elizabeth then bent down in front of my cell and say, "Jack, I had to sneak out of the palace to come see you". I then walked towards the bars and bent down and asked happily "And what do I owe thee of such honor?" Elizabeth then smiled and grabbed my hands through the bars and said "Jack, how was your night?" I smiled at her and answered, "It would have been better with you here luv".

She then giggles and says while blushing "I can imagine". I then looked into her eyes and she smiled as I did so. I then took my finger and outlined her face with it, and as I did she closed her eyes and smiled. Once I reached her lips, she kissed my finger and then said "What am I going to do without these hands?" I then smiled and was about to answer when Will then shouted, "If you haven't noticed I am still right here."

We then both turned to look at him and I smiled and said, "Really mate? Well, Hello…" I then paused for a second then continued "Goodbye". Will then said "Elizabeth you are to leave now, or else…" She then interrupted him by saying sadly "Or what Will? Are you going to tell my father and Norrington to come escort me out of here? Well I have news for you that you can transmit to them. The only way that they will get me out of this here jail is if I'm dead!"

Elizabeth then turned back to me and I looked at her and grinned at her trying not to show how surprised I was to hear her say a speech like that. I then glanced over at Will who now had a confused expression on his face, but also a sad one. He then nodded and said quietly "I guess you will be no be longer needing me services here. Good day Elizabeth". I then watched him walk up the stairs and I couldn't help but frown.

Elizabeth then asked me "What's wrong Jack?" I then sigh and answer "Nothing luv. Absolutely nothing." I then gave her a grin and she then took my hands in hers and whispered, "I'm sorry about what happened between us Jack." I then look at her and give her a smile that lets her know that she is forgiven. I then took my finger and caressed her cheek with it, she smiled at me as I began to speak "If only I never met you, then you and I both would not be going through this hell luv.

Elizabeth then pulled away for a second and said, "Take that back Jack." She then paused for a brief second while looking at me in the eyes. She then continued, "If I never met you I would have never known the real meaning of freedom." I smiled at her and then kissed her hand, and then she continued once more "and… I would not know the true meaning of love." My eyes then widened and I dropped her hands and she then asked concerned "What is it Jack?" I then began to lie through my teeth as I held my stomach and I replied "Its just my stomach, where James hit me with his sword."

Elizabeth then smiled and sighed relieved. I then smile at her and she asks 'I thought it was because of what I had last said." I then lied once again "No of course not luv." Elizabeth then smiled and stated "Jack, I don't believe you have ever told me those three words." I then asked nervously "Three words luv?" She then nodded and asked "Jack do you love me?" I bit my lip and thought about how I was going to answer her question.
