Chapter 27:

Dirt-e Black Spot

Elizabeth nodded sadly and she took my hand and hugged me while saying sadly into my chest "So we are doomed. We can never get the key now". I closed my eyes disappointed but then opened them as Tia spoke "You can't, but he can". I opened my eyes to see Tia pointing at James. He asked loudly "Are you all mad?" I began to smile at him and I said as nicely as I could "Oh come on mate. Pretty please wi' rum on top?"

James began to chuckle as he walked towards Elizabeth and I. I stared at him with a nonchalant look on my face although my insides were all twisted and tangled. I could feel the pressure that melted upon Norrington on my skin. My eyebrows rose as he continued to chuckle for a few more seconds, and Elizabeth's light brown eyes had began to stare at me with the utmost portrayal. So, I looked into her eyes deeper and noticed a small sparkle in her right eye, and from that sparkle I could tell that she was worried.

James grabbed Elizabeth from my arms and pushed me aside and said as loudly as he could "The infamous Captain Jack Sparrow, needs MY help! This is a happy day indeed." I cleared my throat and whispered back "Does that mean yer goin' t' help me?" James chuckled once again but this time his voice was deeper and he held his back upright.

I gave him a small smile and turned around as quickly as I could while saying "I'm glad ye will". James put his hand on my shoulder and turned me around while saying with a grin on his face "Not so fast Captain No Good Sparrow. I never agreed to anything." I rolled my eyes and chose to ignore his comment; after all I did need the Buggers help. I clenched my fists and said firmly "E'en if ye didn't, I'll take it as if ye did on accoun' o' since I be th' Captain o' th' ship ye be on, or th' ships Captain. I still be havin' th' right t' commandeer ye t' any path I choose t' commandeer ye on, savvy?"

James looked at me confusion while saying firmly "I will not risk my life for you Pirate." Once he said that, an idea hit me. It was smart, and risky but was it worth risking Norrington's life? I put my finger to my chin for a second and then began to grin while thinking 'of course it was'. I pushed Norrington aside while trying to wave that grin off my face. I bit my lip for a second and then asked Tia "Ye sure that he be able to do it?"

Tia nodded and whispered "Aye, if he be willin' to." Norrington shook his head while I started to explain my idea "James…" I began but he interrupted "Mr. Norrington to you Pirate". I smiled at him and said "Aye, Aye…. James it be then." He rolled his eyes as I continued "Wouldn't it be nice if Cutler Beckett had the heart of Davy Jones?" Will stood up and shouted "Jack! If Beckett has the heart then he can control the seas!" I closed my eyes for a second while muttering "I'll add your little eunuch issues later. Now, where was I? Oh, right the heart. But wouldn't it be better if you could bring him the heart…to restore your honor?"

James squinted his eyes at me while asking "Are you implying that you would let me have the heart?" I smiled at him while whispering "No. But, I'd let ye have something better…" Elizabeth interrupted me by shouting "He'll let you kill Jones!" I smiled at her while saying "Quite right luv." I then turned around to face James and continued.

"If you killed Jones, who happens to be the only real pirate left at sea…" James lifted his hand in the air while saying, "Hold it. You already tried to use this speech with me a couple of months ago." I eyebrows curved as I turned to Elizabeth confused "I did?" She sighed and nodded and so I turned back to James and said "Oh…. But this time 't will work on accoun' o' if ye get th' key. I'll let ye stab th' heart after I o' course trade 't in fer me life, an' fer th' whelp's father o'er thar."

James thought about it for a second and Tia shouted out angrily "But Jack, he cannot stab the heart because…." I interrupted her and said, "I know." James looked at me suspiciously and whispered, "Where do I find this key?" Tia looked at me sadly while shouting "You cannot stab the heart!" She then got up from her seat and Will shouted out "Yes, he can! It is the only way…." He then put his hand his pocket and took out the knife that he had found earlier on and continued, "If he won't! I will!"

I looked at the knife carefully and my eyes went wide. Tia looked at us sadly and whispered, "If that is what you want…." I interrupted "Or what we be havin' t' do." Elizabeth grabbed my hand and said, "I have a plan to get James on board."

The next morning, I was still in Tia's house along with Will, Elizabeth and of course Tia. I sat on a stool near the edge of her house biting my nails nervously for Gibbs' return. Tia came around with hot coco and some type of weird biscuits for us. Once she reached me, she held out the tray in front of me while saying softly "To help you, from the worry and the sorrow." I nodded and then took the hot coco and also took a biscuit. I bit into to the biscuit and a second later I spit it out while shouting "That tastes like dirt!" Tia turned to look at me while saying "Aye, it is dirt."

The side of my mouth curled and I sneered while I said "Oh…well then, its very good ugh…dirt." Tia nodded smiling so I joked, "I suppose the hot coco is mixed with dirt too, eh?" I then took a sip as Tia said once again "Aye, that it is." I then spit it out once again, and closed my eyes in disgust. Once I did that the door flew open and Gibbs ran straight through while shouting "He did it Captain. He did it!" Obviously he was talking about James.

Will asked, "Did it run smoothly?" Gibbs smiled and nodded "That it did, Mister Turner. He rowed the long boat all the way down…." I interrupted him while asking "…and the black spot is off his hand?" Gibbs smiled and replied "As wrinkly as it was before Captain. The Black spot just vanished once Jones reached him. I watched through your glass sir, and I saw him being taken on board."

I smiled as I saw Elizabeth run to me and I hugged her while she screamed out happily "I told you my plan would work!" I nodded and looked at her in the eyes while grinning. She pulled my head in with her hands and she began to kiss me. But out kiss was interrupted by non other than the whelp. He cleared his throat and said, "Now that James has the black spot, or it got taken away, what ever the case may be. What is our next step?"

All of our heads turned to Tia in unison and she spoke "Well, we must wait for him to return with the key…" Elizabeth looked into my eyes and asked sadly "And what if he doesn't?" Will then shouted out "Then I will! If James does not return within a week, I will go aboard the Flying Dutchmen and take the key." Tia nodded as she whispered, "Aye, said plan is decent." Gibbs then noticed the hot coco that Tia held and took a cup. I stepped forward to stop him but he had already taken a sip. As he spit it out I said biting my lip "I was goin' to warn ye."

In the mean time on Davy Jones' ship, James was on his knees in front of Jones. Jones began "Now tell me, how did you get the black spot?" James closed his eyes and whispered "Jack Sparrow." Davy Jones' eye twitched as he bent down to James' level while shouting "Sparrow! Did he send you to pay his debt?" James trembled and nodded; Jones smiled and whispered "One is not enough! You have two choices! One is for me to end your life now forcing you to live the remainder of it in the after life, or to join my crew!"

James looked at Davy Jones and whispered, "I choose to join your crew." Davy Jones left the area while shouting "Men, make sure you make James Norrington as miserable as you can." The crew nodded and shouted out "One of the crew, one with the ship!" James got up off his knees while whispering, "You owe me one Pirate."
