Once, Forever and Always
Chapter 5 – Dead People
The night sky fell upon us as we tried to make our way back to our world. I truly did not know where we were and I was too scared to ask, afraid of the answer I would get. Bodies of people floated in the water. Hundreds of these bodies surround the ship.
"They should be in the care of Davy Jones. That was the duty him was charged with by the goddess Calypso. To ferry those who die at sea to the other side, and every ten years him could come ashore to be with she who love him, truly. But the man has become a monster." Tia said looking out at the bodies of people that should have been crossed over to the other side.
"So he wasn't always... tentacley?" Pintel asked demonstrating with his hands Jones's tentacles.
"No, him was a man, once." Tia explained playing with her locket something Will has asked me to keep an eye on.
"Now it's boats coming." Ragetti said pointing out towards the water. Will came up from behind us and asked Tia a question.
"They're not a threat to us, am I right?" Tia nodded "We are nothing but ghosts to them."
"It's best just let them be." Barbossa explained. I headed over towards the stairs and sat down hoping to soon pass this depressing scene. I shot up off of the steps as Elizabeth screamed: "It's my father, we've made it back! Father, Father here, look here!"
"Elizabeth... we're not back." Jack told her hoping to knock some sense into her.
"Father!" She screamed again obviously not fully taking in what Jack told her.
"Elizabeth! Are you dead?" Swann asks. Elizabeth shakes her head violently "No, no."
Governor Swann looked down sadly "I think I am" Elizabeth screamed "No you can't be!" I walked over to the railing to watch the sad scene unfold.
"There was this chest, you see, this heart. At the time it seemed so important."
"Come aboard!" Elizabeth screamed not listening to a single word her father said.
"And the heart, I learnt that if you stab the heart, yours must take its place and you will sail the seas for eternity." Jack and Will both perk up at this. "The Dutchman must have a captain. Silly thing to die for."
"Someone cast a line! Come back with us!" Elizabeth screamed hoping for a line.
Tia rests her hand on Will's shoulder "A touch of destiny..."
"Take the line!" Elizabeth screams throwing a line over. "Elizabeth, tell your sister about her family. Her real family and how he loved her all the same. Give her the letters please darling? I'm so proud of you, Elizabeth. You and Abigail."
"Father, father, the line! Take the line!" Elizabeth screams, not listening to a single word her father is telling her. I lean against the rail and take in everything I just heard. Elizabeth knew the entire time and had the letters that my real family wrote to me.
"She must not leave the ship!" Everything was a blur to me and the last thing I heard was Govenor Swann's voice.
'I'll give your and Abigail's love to your mother shall I?"
Then everything went black.
