Chapter 6: The Payment

Once they were far enough away form the hut, Sally dared to ask.

"Will, what was the payment you gave Calypso?" She said linking her arm in his.

Will smiled and took her arm. "Well, I figured that Calypso would need payment so I came prepared."

Evie and Jack listened as well. When Will didn't continue, Evie started up. "So, what did you bring?"

"The dead heart of Davy Jones."

Enough said. Everyone understood and didn't press the subject any further.

The four walked through the dense brush of the island back to the beach.

About halfway there, Evie and Sally got bored and found a field of flowers. They pulled Will and Jack toward it for a quick break. They finally obliged and they headed for the meadow.

Sally and Evie made flower crowns for themselves, Will and Jack. Sally remembered they had their cameras now. She reached into her bag and pulled out her small, expensive purple camera. She took a quick picture of Will and Jack before they could pull the crowns off.

Sally and Evie laughed when they saw the picture. They boys leaned over to see but they pulled the camera away. Jack made a face while Will pulled off his crown.

Their short break turned into a few hours. Evie and Jack were lying down and watching the clouds. Sally and Will were talking about what Will will do after they free him from the curse.

"Do you think you will continue piracy or go back to being a Blacksmith?"

"I'm not sure. Probably just go where ever the wind takes me."

Sally smiled and picked a daisy and looked at Will. She brandished the daisy at him. "Whatever you do, do NOT get stuck on the Flying Dutchman again! I won't always be here to save you, you know!" she said laughing.

He laughed and took the flower from her. "And that miss, is a shame." He said with a smile. "How will I ever be able to repay you?"

Sally grinned and pondered this for a moment. "Whatever you deem necessary, Captain Turner." She laughed. "Actually, it is my pleasure!"

He smiled and leaned forward. He kissed her softly on the cheek. "There. I'm satisfied." He said leaning back.

A bright blush flew into Sally's cheeks as Evie yelled from behind them.

"Sally Lawrence! I do believe you're blushing!"

Sally turned to Evie and shot her an evil look. "Good Morning Commodore Obvious!"

Jack sat up abruptly. "Commodore?" What Commodore?" Jack looked around.

Sally, Evie and Will laughed and looked away as Jack looked around again with his hand on his sword.

Sally smiled looking back to Will. Suddenly very confident, Sally leaned over to Will and gently kissed him on the lips.

Evie made whistling, hooting and whooping noises making Sally laugh and blush more.

"Maybe its time we should be getting back to the Pearl!" said Will matching Sally's blush. They all agreed and stood up to leave. Jack continued to look around them, brandishing his pistol. "I need some rum!"
