Chapter 11: The Deal

The three stood in total silence as the horrifying captain of the Flying Dutchman appeared in front of them almost magically. Apparently, he could teleport.

"Hello Sparrow." Davy said, with a clearly distinguishable Scottish accent. Jack backed up a couple feet instinctively and smiled. Michelle and Angie made sure to stay behind him."Hello! Great weather we're having aye?"

"Where is it?" He demanded. The girls exchanged almost knowing glances and continued stepping backwards with Jack.

"I really think you need to calm down mate. I've no idea what it is. So if you wouldn't mind filling me in, that'd be great." Jack said, hiding all signs of fear. He of course was lying, he knew exactly what Jones was talking about. The heart. He prayed Michelle and Angie wouldn't mention anything about it's location. If they did, he'd have nothing to bargain with.

"I'm talking about the heart Sparrow! Where is it?"

"Oh. That. Well! Actually, I've no idea where it is. I confess I was in possession of it before last time we met. I thought I had it when we did finally meet but it turns out ol' Jack was robbed. How ironic aye? I've no idea who has the heart." He said confidently, holding the jar of dirt in one hand and making strange movements while he spoke with the other.

Davy looked away, he knew Jack had to have been telling the truth. If he did indeed have the heart, he would have already used it to force Davy to call the kraken off. This distressed Jones even further.

He turned back to Jack, "Is that so? Well then, you are still the reason the heart is GONE in the first place Sparrow! That's ok though, you still owe me your soul remember? I don't see those ninty-nine souls anywhere either!" He said, matter-of-factly.

Jack turned to Michelle and pushed the jar of dirt into her hands as he whispered to the both of them, "I've got an idea, just go along with what I'm doing. Trust me. Don't say a word." Angie and Michelle nodded as Jack turned back towards Davy, approaching him with a smile.

"Davy, I'm having a thought. Hear me out." He said as he began to circle Davy, "I'm a man that likes to bargain. You're a man that likes to get two for the price of one. And one cannot blame you, as I strive for for getting two for the price of nothing. SO what do you say to calling off ol' beastie, I'll get you more than ninety-nine measly souls, AND I'll even help you get your heart back. Just because that's the kind of generous guy I am. What say you to that aye?" Jack said, stopping in front of him.

Davy stared at him for a few minutes in silence as he thought about the proposition.

"More than ninety-nine souls? What are you up to Sparrow? I know there's something else you want with that kind of an offer." Davy said, as he lit his pipe.

"Well... there is one more thing."

"I don't have to listen to this Sparrow."

"Well, actually you do. See you've seemed to have forgotten that you're not allowed on land aye?"

Davy was silent for a moment as he glared at Jack, smoke from his pipe beginning to fill the area, "I haven't forgotten. It doesn't matter! My crew is perfectly capable!"

Jack nodded, "That's a fine observation to be sure. However, I confess. I lied. I know where the heart is. You do not. I'll tell you the exact location if you call your precious beastie off right now and forever." Jack replied with a victorious smile.

Davy answered surprisingly without hesitation, "Deal. Where is it?"

"A place called Port Royal. I'm pretty sure 'ol Beckett is in possession of it."

"Cuttler Beckett? How Sparrow? How did he gain possession of it?" Davy demanded.

"Well actually I'm not positive that Beckett does have it. It's either with him or a man named James Norrington. But enough about that, it doesn't matter who has it really. What really matters is whether or not you've got good ol' Jack on your side. Savvy?"

"Are you threatening me Sparrow?"

"Of course not. I'd never."

"I don't need you to get it back! I know exactly where Port Royal is! I may not be allowed on land but my crew is!" Davy shouted angrily.

"That's very true." Jack said turning towards a few of the crew members who had joined Davy on the ship. "But take a look at them. Do you really, honestly believe, that dear old Beckett isn't going to slice your heart in two the moment he sees your crew approaching? You'll be dead mate. With me on your side, I can get it back safely. He'll have no idea we're on the same side."

Jack had a very valid point. Davy snarled at this argument and realized he was right.

"Fine. What is it that you want?" Davy asked, staring the other captain in the eye. Michelle and Angie just stared in amazment. Jack really was good at this whole bargaining thing after all.

"The Black Pearl. Your pet beastie sunk my ship, I can't get it back all by me onesies. Give me my ship back and I'll help you. After that, I'll make sure you get your ninety-nine souls. Do we have an accord?"

"You have a deal Sparrow. However I will not raise your ship until you retrieve that heart! Plus I don't fully trust you. How do I know as soon as you get the heart you won't pierce it yourself hmm?"

"Well that wouldn't be very smart of me at all, I wouldn't get my ship back now would I?"

"Still, you're an unpredictable man Sparrow." Davy said, glaring at Jack.

"What do you propose we do then?"

Davy looked passed Jack to the two girls behind him, "Who are these two young ladies you've got here Sparrow?"

Jack immediately knew this was bad news, he looked at them, "Oh them? They're no one. Cousins of a dead aunt's sister twice removed. No one." He said frantically, trying to divert the captain's attention away from them.

"Is that so? Well then you wouldn't mind if I took one as compensation! Until you return my heart to me, then I'll return the girl."

Michelle and Angie both stared in utter disbelief. A wave of horror washed over them both. A deep feeling of uneasiness settled at the pit of Jack's stomach.

"They could hardly be considered compensation! How about that lovely jar of dirt aye?"

Davy turned to Jack, "One of them comes with me, or no deal!" He said cruelly, his crew laughed behind him.

Jack had never felt such anguish. He never really felt the need to protect anyone before, both Michelle and Angie were his friends. One of the girls he had even grown quite fond of. He cursed under his breath, knowing he had no choice. If all this went through, he'd never have to worry about Davy Jones again. All his fears would be finally be gone... He looked up, masking all signs of uneasiness he had, "Give me your word... if I agree to this you will not harm the girl in any way."

Michelle's eyes widened in disbelief and anger, "Jack! You can't actually be considering this! What are you doing?"

Jack ignored Michelle's pleas. It was hard for him to bear her screams but he acted like it didn't effect him in the slightest. "Quiet Michelle!"

"You have my word. As soon as I get my heart back, you'll get the girl and your Pearl back." Davy said, moving one of the squirming tentacles of his beard in front of him as if wanting to confirm the deal. Jack stood there for a moment thinking about it. He finally reached a hand out and grabbed it lightly. The deal was official.

He wiped the wetness off his hand in disgust and turned towards the two girls, "Look, I know how this looks, but just trust me. I know what I'm doing.." Jack said with self-disgust, taking Angie's arm and pushing her to Davy Jones. Angie couldn't believe this! She'd never been so scared in her life. She felt as though her entire body was paralyzed, this couldn't be real... this couldn't be happening!

Michelle ran forward with tears in her eyes to take Angie's hand but was stopped by Jack.

"Jack let go of me! How could you do this?" She screamed angrily, a new fire burning in her emerald eyes. Thunder roared throughout the skies suddenly and rain began to pour steadily.

She turned back quickly when she heard her friend scream her name. Davy had already teleported with her back to his ship. The giant vessel immediately began to move. Michelle tried desperately to free herself from Jack but failed. She felt so weak and betrayed. How... she didn't understand how Jack could do something like this.

She finally turned her head back to him furiously, "What the hell was that? And let go of me!"

He released her and just stared, he felt horrible. He didn't know what to say. For the first time in his life he was speechless, he knew what he did was wrong. Usually doing the wrong thing to get him what he wanted didn't matter. This time it was different though...

He grabbed her by the shoulders, "Love.. please don't worry. I promise you she'll be fine and we'll get her back." He said sincerely.

"You did that for a ship Jack! A ship!" She shouted, as tears rolled down her cheeks. Jack felt a sharp sting on the left side of his face. She had smacked him.

"I was completely wrong about you Jack Sparrow! I can't believe for a second I thought you were a good man!" She shouted, running off deck and away from him.

He turned to watch her run off, he'd been slapped many times in life but none of them had ever hurt so much, emotionally that is.

"I definately deserved that..." He said to himself.

And that's all for chaper 11. Hope you all liked it! Please review if you have the time!
