Chapter 11: The arrival
Elizabeth climbed out of longboat with determination, she just has to tell Jack, and she doesn't know how he would react.
She stepped onto an island, with pinkish sand and above her was a maroon sky.
"Odd..." She mumbled aloud waiting for the rest of the crew to catch up.
Jack was the first one to climb out and set foot onto the pink grains of sand. He didn't seem as surprised as she, he has seen worse coming from the worlds end. She cringed at the thought of what might have been there and what they did to Jack. She remembers the night that he told her about it.
YAY FLASHBACK
Elizabeth was on night watch for The Black Pearl that night (much to Will's protests) but as usual she won their fight.
It was about a week after they had gotten Jack back and everything seemed okay. He gradually started talking to her again but Will called off their engagement. She wanted to be sad, but as hard as she tried, she couldn't.
They were only a few days away from Tortuga so they could pick up supplies. Elizabeth still couldn't see it on the landscape as she watched the last rays of the sun dip below the horizon.
She was laid out on the deck of the Pearl listing to the waves embrace the cold, yet inviting wood of Jack's beloved ship.
Everything was serene, until an ear shattering scream echoed though the frigid night air.
Elizabeth shot up, the scream belonged to Jack, this has happened countless days this week.
"Better go check on him." She mumbled
She forced herself off of the comfortable wood and sauntered into Jack's cabin.
He was tossing and turning in his bed, beads of sweat forming around his face as he bashed and flailed around as if trying to hit something.
"JACK!" Elizabeth screamed running over to his side. Yes he did scream often, but it was usually just a scream, it never became this bad.
Elizabeth sat next to him, gently touching his arm, desperately wanting to jump into his dream and fight off whatever was causing him to be this way.
"Jack?" She asked, this time in a softer voice
She felt him blindly moving his hand, until he got hold of hers and squeezed it.
His eyes fluttered open and he sat up in bed.
"Jack, was it that dream again?" She inquired her face deathly serious
He sighed and wiped sweat from his furrowed brow.
"Aye Lizzie." Was his mere response obviously not wanting her to know anymore. But she was persistent.
"Please Jack; just tell me all I want to do is help." Her eyes were pleading but Jack knew better, all the people that wanted to help him in his life betrayed him.
Even her.
"Jack, I know you think you can't trust me but I mean this with all of my heart, why do you think I kissed you on the Pearl? I mean, there were other ways to chain you to the mast."
He acknowledged this thought and considered the consequences. But after all, she did come and save him from the worlds end and she was a bloody good kisser.
"Al'right Luv, but don't be blabbering this to anyone. Savvy? Well after tha' beastie ate me, I lived inside him for a while the only bad thing about tha' was the god awful stench of a thousand rotting corpses. Then I'd say 'bout a day later, he spit me out on an island. As soon as I got there, I was taken away, and placed in a prison to rot and be tortured. They beat me so much, I passed out continuously and once it got so bad, they thought I was dead.
"They then moved me from the rotting prison, to the rotting bloody beach. That's when you found me Lizzie." He finished this with the face of a statue.
"But while you were gone Jack, I was tortured as well."
"Do tell deary."
"Ever since I chained you, I felt guilty and Will stopped talking to me and do you want to know the worst part? I missed you okay there you go. I MISSED YOU JACK!"
END FLASH BACK
Elizabeth trudged across the sun drenched crimson island with Jack, the crew not too far behind.
"Now, Jack would you please listen to what I have to tell you? It is urgent" Elizabeth pleaded putting on her best puppy dog eyes.
"No luv, not until AFTER I find my I mean our treasure." With that said he trekked ahead of her letting greed take him over.
Elizabeth sighed and continued walking, but with each step she took the pale pink sand became darker in shade.
From tickle-me-pink
To salmon pink
To hot pink
To scarlet
To red.
From this point they were in the heart of the island.
The crew was slowly starting to catch up to her and she was very fed up that Jack was not listening to her.
Gibbs was making his way in front when he heard Elizabeth's plea.
"Mister Gibbs, may I confide in you with something?"
He swallowed a lump in his throat but nodded his head.
"That note, it is not about Lily and John."
Gibbs started to break out into a cold sweat.
She continued
"And Lily's lover didn't right it. It isn't about the treasure or their love; it is about someone else's love."
This was it; she figured it out Gibbs finally caved
"YES, it is not about Lily Raven and John Cook. It's about Elizabeth Swann and Captain Jack Sparrow. And you're right; Lily's lover did not right the note, but none other than William Turner. He knew about how you felt about Jack, he knew his time with you was almost up. He had nothing left to live for. So he confined in me. He told me all of his fears and new discoveries. So of course, I was the one who knew about the note.
"That faithful day we docked in Tortuga, William wrote it, before he was shot. And I was the only witness. He didn't do it himself and didn't pay anyone to, it just happened."
Elizabeth was shocked. Her face went about three shades lighter, her mouth was agape and her perfect eyes were welling up with warm tears or regret and sorrow. She was utterly astonished. She did not expect this to have anything to do with Will. She knew it had to do with her and Jack though.
The more she thought about it, the more it made since.
"Well, how do we tell Jack?" She croaked out, secretly not wanting to know the answer.
"Well, that's what we gotta figure out."
