Once, Forever and Always

Chapter 4 – Finding Jack

We were all washed up on a beach after the ship had been wrecked by the fall. I honestly don't think that anybody where we were let alone what beach we were on and if Jack was even here. I was hoping that Jack was on this god forsaken island and that he had the Pearl to take us home on.

"This truly is a God forsaken place." Gibbs said speaking what was on everyone's minds.

"I don't see Jack. I don't see anyone." Elizabeth said stating the obvious.

"He's here. Davy Jones never once gave up that what he took." Barbossa told us giving me some hope.

"And does it matter? We're trapped here by your doing, no different of Jack." Will said thinking that there was no escape from this island.

Tia holds a white crab in her hand. "Witty Jack is closer than you tink." She smirked over at me.

The Black Pearl came sailing down the sand with a bunch of white crabs carrying it, the white crab that Tia was holding not even a second ago.

"Impossible!"

"Slap me thrice and hand me to me momma! It's Jack!" Gibbs shouted I smiled as I saw Jack.

"It's the captain!"

"Jack!" Mr. Gibbs shouted as we all caught up to Jack.

"Mr. Gibbs!" Jack stated in a disappointing tone.

"Aye cap'n." Gibbs told him looking confused by Jack's actions we all were.

"I thought so. I expect you're able to account for your actions then." Jack told him. My mind was swirling with possibilities as to why he was acting the way he was.

"There's been a perpetual and virilent lack of discipline upon my vessel. Why? Why is that sir?" It than clicked he's been hallucinating and can't tell which is reality and which isn't.

"Sir, you're... you're in Davy Jones Locker, cap'n." Gibbs tried explaining to him. I hid behind the group of people not wanting to see him yet. I was scared and terrified as to how he would react towards me.

"I know that. I know where I am. And don't think I don't!" Jack was confused I could tell that much.

"Jack Sparrow" Barbossa shouted at him getting Jack's attention.

"Ah, Hector! It's been too long, hasn't it?" Jack exclaimed.

Barbossa smirked as he recalled the memory "Aye. Isla de Muerta, remember? You shot me."

"No I didn't. Tia Dalma! Out and about, eh? You add an agreeable sense of macabre to any delerium." Tia Dalma knew what was happening but didn't say anything I could tell that she also knew that knew what was happening by the sad smile that she was giving me.

"He thinks we're a hallucination." Will stated out loud conforming my theory.

"William, tell me something. Have you come because you need my help to save a certain distressing damsel, rather, damsel in distress? Either one." Jack asked.

"No." Will told him glancing over at Elizabeth and then me.

"Well then you wouldn't be here would you? So you can't be here. QED, you're not really here." Jack said turning around.

"I'm here for Abigail." Will shouted at him, Jack slowly turned around searching for me. I stepped out in front beside Will.

His eyes slowly widened at the fact that I was here.

"B-but you were just in my cabin waiting for me…" I shook my head with a frown.

"Jack I haven't been on your ship let alone stepped foot in your cabin for a while now." I told him hoping he would get it that this was reality.

Elizabeth stepped forward "Jack. This is real, we're here." I glared at her but I don't think that she realized it.

Jack turned to Gibbs "The Locker, you say?"

"Aye"

"We've come to rescue you!" Elizabeth shouted at him as I scoffed at her pled to save him. She only wanted him because he had a ship and a way out.

"Have you now? That's very kind of you. But it would seem that as I possess a ship and you don't, you're the ones in need of rescuing, and I'm not sure as I'm in the mood."

"I see my ship, right there." Barbossa told him pointing towards the Pearl

Jack obviously didn't get it "Can't spot it. Must be a tiny little thing hiding somewhere behind the Pearl"

Will decided now was the best times to bring up the problems were facing "Jack! Cutler Beckett has the heart of Davy Jones. He controls the Flying Dutchman"

"He's taking over the seas!" Elizabeth added.

"The song has already been sung, the Brethren Court is called" Tia told him as well.

"Leave you people alone for just a minute, look what happens, everything's gone to pot!" Jack says throwing his arms up in the air as to say 'what the hell'.

"Aye, Jack, the world needs you back somethin' fierce." Gibbs tells him hoping he can get Jack to agree.

"And you need a crew." Will adds.

"Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you have tried to kill me in the past, one of you succeeded." Will and I look to Elizabeth shocked.

"You did what!" I shouted to her "How could you! You knew I loved him and this is what you do! Well I'm thankful that I'm not actually related to you!" I yelled breaking down into tears at how someone could betray me like that and I knew I struck a nerve by the guilty expression on her face.

"Oh, she's not told you. You'll have loads to talk about while you're here." Jack tells everyone. I look over to Elizabeth and mouth "You're dead"

"Now, don't tell me you didn't enjoy it at the time." Tia tells him and my head snaps up but then I remember it's Tia and Jack nothing is going to happen.

"Fair enough, all right, you're in." Tia walks over to Jack's side and waits for orders in till then. Jack walks up to Ragetti and tells him "Don't need you, you scare me. Gibbs, you can come, Marty, Cotton. Cotton's parrot I'm a little iffy, but at least I'll have someone to talk to." Jack then comes to Sao Feng's crew. "Who are you?"

"Tai Huang. These are my men."

"Where do your allegiances lie?" Jack asks worry with these men he doesn't know.

"With the highest bidder."

"I have a ship." Jack tells them proudly pointing to his ship.

"That makes you the highest bidder." Tai tells him happily.

"Good man." He tells him and then points to the crew "Weigh anchor, all hands, prepare to make sail."

"Abigail," He says pointing with his finger that I should come stand in front of him. I stand in front him and take him in. He's changed but just in the slightest way: He's gotten tanner and his beard has grown out more along with his hair and his eyes didn't hold that same sparkle anymore.

He pulled me into a hug which I gladly returned with my arms wrapped around his neck. His lips touched my ear and he whispered quietly "Meet me in my cabin" which I nodded too. He un-wrapped his arms from me unwillingly to let me go to his cabin while he dealt with everyone else.

I sat in his cabin impatiently listening to him and Hector arguing over who was captain and who was 'chat man' of the ship it was rather annoying. So I changed into a new pair of trousers and a shirt that I always kept in Jack's cabin in case I ruined the current outfit I had on. I lie on the bed and let my thoughts wander to a topic that I knew I shouldn't be thinking of but it was stuck there in the back of my head torturing me that topic was: My father.

Jack finally entered the cabin and interrupted my unwanted thoughts. He closed the door behind him as I didn't move from the bed scarred at how he would act towards me. Did he still want me? Did he still love me? Was I just being paranoid? All these thoughts rushed into my head all at once confusing me.

"Abigail," He said just above a whisper, stepping closer to the bed. I sat up and stood up from the bed standing in front of him. We looked each other over taking in the small changes that each of us had made since the time we have seen each other.

I stepped towards him "Jack" I breathed. He stepped forward also and brushed some of my hair back from my face.

"You look beautiful, exquisite." He told me eyeing my lips. His head bent down towards mine "I missed you Jack." I told him and leaned forward allowing our lips to connect. I wrapped my arms around his neck deepening the kiss. His one hand was placed on the middle of my back pushing me closer to him while the other was in tangled in my hair. We finally pulled apart gasping for air. Our forwards touched and he whispered back "As did I Abigail"
