Once, Forever and Always

Chapter 3 – Boats and the end of the earth?

I was literally freezing my ass off as well as some other body parts. I was still quite confused as to where we are at the moment. Barbossa won't tell us anything. I didn't mind though, I was finally going to see Jack again and that's all I cared about at the moment. Being in his large muscular arms and kissing him senseless. Pintel shook me out the dirty thoughts that I was having about Jack and what I was going to do to him when we were finally alone.

"No one said anything about cold."

"I'm sure there must be a good reason for our suffering." Jack was the reason and he was a damn good one at that.

"Why don't that obe woman just bring Jack back the same way she brought back Barbossa?" Pintel asked speaking of Tia Dalma like she was deaf or wasn't standing like a foot away from them.

Tia came up to them "Because Barbossa was only dead. Jack Sparrow is taken, body and soul, to a place not of death but punishment. The worst fate a person can bring upon himself stretching on forever, that's what awaits at Davy Jones Locker." I gasped. I had no idea that he was there in what was practically hell. The thoughts of him safe and okay were turning to thoughts of him trapped at the bottom of the ocean or lost forever in a desert with no way to come back.

"There, I knew there was a good reason." Ragetti bragged to Pintel.

I looked around the almost frozen over ship. Elizabeth and I were the only two in blankets that weren't even keeping us that warm. Most of the men's facial hair had ice dangling from it as well as their hair. I'm sure most of them couldn't feel parts of their bodies along with the rest of us. I looked over at one the men that Sao Feng had lent us. He was playing with his toe which he couldn't most likely feel. He was trying to bend it back and forth when – SNAP! He's toe broke off from his foot. I was in shock that, that was possible and I think he was too because he tried repeatedly putting it back on which didn't work.

Will sat by a table with another man and was looking over the charts which I didn't get. I planned on asking Jack about them. "Nothing here is set. These can't be as accurate as modern charts."

"No, but it leads to more places." The man told him.

"Over the edge, over again. Sunrise sets, flash of green. Do you care to interpret, Captain Barbossa?" Will asked confused by the statement.

"Ever gazed upon the green flash Master Gibbs?" Barbossa asked Mr. Gibbs.

"I reckon I've seen my fair share. Happens on rare occasion, at the last glimpse of sunset a green flash shoots up into the sky. Some go their whole lives without ever seeing it, some claim to have seen it who ain't and some say…"

Pintel interrupted Gibbs, who in return glares at him "It signals when a soul comes back to this world, from the dead!"

"Trust me young Master Turner, it's not getting to the land of the dead that's the problem, it's getting back." Barbossa told him.

Well that's reassuring

We sailed all through the day making small talk with each other as we did so. I stayed quite as well as did Elizabeth, who I still wasn't quite happy with. How dare she do that to me! She knew that I loved him like no other man. He was the one thing in my life that wasn't a complete and utter lie. I hated her for it. For doing what she did that day but I also hated him for falling for her tricks. I should have fallen for someone like Will. I looked over at railing and saw Will approaching Elizabeth. I knew that he saw what I saw too that day and that he and Elizabeth haven't spoken since.

"How long do we continue not talking?" Even from where I sat I could still hear their conversation. I think many people could.

"Once we rescue Jack everything will be fine." Will frowns at her response. I couldn't blame him I was doing that exact same thing.

"When we rescue Jack?" He asked not quite sure what to make of her strange behavior towards him and her feelings towards Captain of the Black Pearl. My Captain to be exact.

Elizabeth walked away from Will leaving him and me with unanswered questions. Tia Dalma came up to him as he stared out at the sea.

I sat lost in my thoughts and feelings of a certain someone when Will yells to Barbossa. "Barbossa, ahead!" I jumped up from the stairs that I was sitting on and ran to nearest railing. I looked over and saw that we were gaining speed which only meant a waterfall.

"Aye, we're good and lost now." Barbossa laughed.

"Lost?" Elizabeth asked, now scared.

"For certain you have to be lost to find a place as can't be found, elseways everyone would know where t'was." It actually made sense.

"We're gaining speed!" Gibbs shouted which Barbossa agreed too.

Will started shouting orders to the crew "To stations. All hands to stations! Run a full, hard to port, gather way." We all started running to out station when Barbossa shouted:

"Nay, belay that! Let her run straight and true!"

"Blimey!"

"You've doomed us all." Elizabeth shouted angrily to Barbossa.

Barbossa smirked "Don't be so unkind, you may not survive to pass this way again and these be the last friendly words you'll hear."

We all grabbed onto the nearest object that wouldn't move when we tipped over. I grabbed onto the rope that held the mast along with Will, who in return grabbed me by the waist and held me close. We gave each other reassuring smiles and hoped for the best.

"Hold on!" Will shouted his hand leaving my waist and returning to rope.
