Chapter 6: Desires

"Jack.. before I answer your question... and answer honestly please. No lies." Michelle said, still slightly breathless from the kiss they shared, "Why do you want me to come with you?"

He smirked at her question but didn't hesitate to answer, "Because Miss Michelle, you intrigue my interests."

"Hmmm I don't know if that's a very good reason Jack."

"I think my reasoning is just fine."

"Were you really telling the truth about the curses and underwater ships and beating hearts in treasure chests?" Michelle asked, wanting a real answer. She wanted the truth and she wanted it now. If was to go anywhere with this man, she needed the truth. Not science fiction.

"Every word love. I admit I'm a dishonest man. If someone were to ask me to look after his belongings, they'd be gone by the time I gave 'em back. However, I have been truthful this whole time with you Miss Morris. As I've discovered the truth is always more interesting, and it allows me to not waste time by covering my tracks." Jack said, freezing her in place once again with his drugging stare.

"I really want to believe you Jack... it's just so weird... I don't know... I would ask you to prove it but I think that's an impossible request."

Jack thought for a minute and raised a finger as an idea caught him, "It is often merely an excuse that we say things are impossible. If you do decide to comply to my request I can without a doubt show you everything. Though, I can't promise it's going to be a very enjoyable experience."

Jack pulled a small black, box-like item from under the right side of his coat, next to his belt. "Until then, this is all I can offer as proof." He siad, taking her hands and placing it into them.

She just raised an eyebrow, "What's this?"

"That's a very important item love. Actually it's quite astonishing that I forgot to show this to you and Angie. This is the item that helped me on my little quest to finding Davy Jones' heart." Jack replied with a thrilled tone.

Michelle just stared at it, bewildered. It seemed to be rather heavy for it's size. She took another glace at Jack before finally opening it. She exhaled a heavy sigh when the item was revealed to be nothing but a common compass.

"Jack... this is just a compass..." She said with a rather annoyed and disappointed voice.

Jack looked down at the compass in confusion and noticed it was pointing north, which was exactly the direction he was standing in. He looked back up at her and grinned.

He closed the compass which was still held in her hands, "It's not just a compass. Do not move." He said as he walked over to right side of her and stopped. "Ok, NOW open it."

She gave him a look as though he was crazy and once again, opened the compass. She gave it a baffled stare and wondered why it wasn't pointing north anymore. Her eyes trailed over in direction it was pointing.

"Oh I get it... it points to you then? What's the purpose of that? Helping the crew find you when you're lost or something? How would that help you find Davy Jones' heart?" She asked, closing it and wondered what was with the grin on his face.

He stepped closer to her, "Pointing to me is not at all it's true purpose love. Well, unless of course you're holding it, as we just witnessed aye?"

She just stared at him, not at all understanding what he meant, "What the heck is that supposed to mean?"

"That compass love, was given to by Tia Dalma. The voodoo priestess I told you about. The compass cannot be used to navigate in a conventional sense, but it does direct whoever is holding it to whatever he or she most desires." Jack explained. Michelle immediately turned red at his last few words.

"You're lying! There's a trick or something! It's rigged, you're wearing something to make it point to you! Or it's broken!"

He just smiled again at her embarassed expression, "Not rigged at all, if you'd like I can strip for you and you can try again."

"NO!" Michelle shouted, her face completely red by now, "Ok ok I believe you! This is just, really embarassing for me right now ok?"

She said as she turned on her heel and began walking back t the house. Jack followed her, "You know, I really had no idea you felt so strongly for me love."

"Yea, neither did I. It's a surprise to me as well." She responded, picking up her pace. It had to be wrong, how could the thing she desired most be Jack Sparrow? She didn't understand. Although now that she thought about it, she remembered how she felt when Jack said he was leaving. She couldn't really think of anything she wanted more at that moment than for Jack to stay.

She wanted to avenge her parents, she wanted to see Beackett die, she wanted to stop pretending that this island was the only place for her. All those things were ones she knew she desired.

She stopped suddenly as she realized all those things could become a reality for her through Jack...

"Jack, I've decided."

He tilted his head in curiousity at her abrupt statement.

"I'm coming with you." She said with a new fire in her eyes.

His face lit up with amusement, "I knew you would."

Please review? I'll give you a cookie? Well not really, but if I could, I would.
