Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Chapter five: At Tia's house
Destiny sat in the boat with Pintel and Ragitte rowing and with Will and Gibbs.(she's sitting in the spot where Marty would be.) "Why is Jack scared of the open ocean," Will asked.
"Well, if you believe such things, there's a beast does the bidding of Davy Jones. A fearsome creature with giant tentacles that suction your face clean off and drag an entire ship down to the crushing darkness." Gibbs paused a moment.
"The Kraken." Pintel and Ragetti looked at each other, and Destiny look at Gibbs with big eyes.
"They say the stench of its breath is... Ooh." Gibbs shuddered. "Imagine, the last thing you know on God's green earth is the roar of the Kraken and the reeking odor of a thousand rotting corpses." Ragetti and Pintel began to cower. "If you believe such things," Gibbs said finished the kraken story.
"And they key will spare him that," Will asked.
"Now that's the very question Jack wants answered. Bad enough even to go visit... Her," Gibbs said.
Will raised an eyebrow. "Her?" (he looks so cute doing that)
"Hey, she's not that bad," Destiny said standing up in the boat. "In fact, I don't think she's that bad at all."
"Destiny, I think you sho…"
"Shut up Will. I'm talking," she said moving the boat a little. "Any way I don't think you'd know her at all."
"Well…..I….um.." Gibbs didn't know what to say.
"Well Mr. Gibbs, you seem to know every thing else, and you…," then out of know where a wave came and hit the boat, making it rock in the water. Destiny lost her balance and fell in. her sudden splash and yelp woke the crocodiles, and they started to head for her. "help me, help me!"
"I don't want to be eaten! I haven't lived long enough!"
Jack jumped in the swampy water and grabbed Destiny by the hand.
"Oh no! Its got me," she said and started to hit Jack.
"Luv, the only thing your hitting is me," Jack said.
Destiny looked up. "Oh, hi," she said laughing a nerves laugh.
They arrived at a house over the swamp water. Destiny and Jack almost dry. "Sorry Gibbs," she said pocking out her lip.
"I forgive ye Destiny.'
"I knew you would."
'What," Gibbs asked.
"nothing."
"No worries, mates. Tia Dalma and I go way back. Thick as thieves. Nigh inseparable we are. Were. Have been. Before," Jack said remembering.
"I'll watch your back," Destiny said from behind Pintel."It's me front I'm worried about."
"mind the boat," Jack said to Gibbs.
"Mind the boat.
"Mind the boat."
"Mind the boat."
"Whatever. Mind the boat." (I bet you know you said that) And so 'mind the boat' went on.
Jack looked in the window then opened the door.
Tia looked up from what she was looking at.
"Jack Sparrow."
"Tia Dalma," Jack said almost hitting his head against full glass of eye balls.
"I always knowed the wind was going to blow you back to me one day," she said approaching Jack. Jack just smiled.
Then she spotted Will. "You," she said pointing to him, and moving closer. "Have a touch of Destiny about you. William Turner.
"You know me?"
"You want to know me," she said leaning closer.
"There'll be know knowing here," Jack said intervening. "I thought I knew you," he said leading her away.
"Not so well as I'd hoped," she said. "Come."
"Come," Jack repeated.
"Hey, why does Jack and Will get all of your attention," Destiny said crossing her arms.
Tia looked like she was about to have a heart attack, then she smiled. "Destiny Sparrow, come and give Tia a hug," she said opening her arms.
And of course, Destiny quickly ran over to Tia and gave her a squeeze. "I haven't seen you since you were about four."
Destiny looked up at Tia. "Your taller then I remembered," she said. "Or I'm just short."
Tia gave a laugh. Jack cleared his throat.
"What is it Jack," Tia said.
"Help," Jack said.
"We'll have to talk later," she said to Destiny.
"You know I demand payment," Tia said turning back to Jack.
"I brought payment." he whistled for the cage to be brought closer. "Look…" Jack shot the monkey. "an undead monkey. Top that!"
Tia let the monkey out."
"No," Gibbs said. "You've no idea how long it took us to catch that."
"The payment is fair."
"We're looking for this," Will said laying out the cloth. "And what it goes to."
"The compass you bartered from me, it cannot lead you to this?"
"Maybe. Why?"
"Aah, I here ya," she said sitting down. "Jack Sparrow does not know what he wants. Or do you know but are loath to claim it as your own. Your key go to a chest. And it is what lay inside the chest you seek. Don't it?"
"He wants everything, it's hard for him to decide," muttered Destiny.
"What is inside," Gibbs asked.
Pintel: "Gold? Jewels? Unclaimed properties of valuable nature," Pintel said.
Ragetti: "Nothing bad, I hope," Rageti said looking at the eye balls.
"You know of Davy Jones, yes," Tia asked. They nodded. "A man of the sea. A great sailor. Until he run afoul of that which vex all men."
"What vexes all men," Will asked.
"What in deed," Tia said teasingly touching Will's hand.
"The sea," Gibbs said.
"Sums," Pintel said.
"The dichotomy of good and evil," Ragetti said. Gibbs and Pintel looked at him.
"A woman," Destiny asked.
"A woman. He fell in love," Tia said with a smile on her face.
Gibbs, Pintel, and Ragitte looked at Destiny for knowing the answer. She just shrugged her shoulders.
"Well, I heard it was the sea he fell in love with," Gibbs said.
"Same story, different version and all are true," moving around her finger.
" See it was a woman as changing, and harsh and untamable as the sea. He never stopped loving her. But the pain it caused him was too much to live with. But not enough to cause him to die."
"What Exactly did he put in the chest," Will asked.
"Him heart," she said touching her chest.
"Literally or figuratively," Ragitte said.
"He couldn't literally put his heart in a chest," Pintel said. "Could he," he asked looking at Tia.
"It was not worth feeling what small, fleeting joy life brings. And so, him carved out him heart, lock it down in a chest, and hide the chest from the world. The key he keep with him at all times."
Will turned to Jack. " You knew this?"
"I did not. I didn't know where the key was, but know we do. So, all that's left is to climb aboard the Flying Dutchman, grab the key, you go back to Port Royal and save your bonnie lass, aye," Jack said walking away.
Tia stood up. "Let me see your hand.
Jack hesitated for a moment, then offered his unmarked hand. Tia gave him the look. Jack rolled her eyes and gave her the other hand.
She unrolled the makeshift bandage to revile the black spot.
Gibbs gasped and cried "the black spot." dust himself off three or four times and turned around in a circle. Pintel and Ragitte did the same.
"My eyesight's as good as ever, just so you know," Jack said. Tia went in the back and started to rummage through her stuff.
"It looks contagious," Destiny said pointing real close.
"It is," Jack said real loud fixing to touch her on her arm.(the hand with the black spot)
"Don't touch me," she said screaming jumping back.
"I was just messing luv."
"I don't care," she said going behind Ragitte and Pintel.
"Davy Jones cannot make port. Cannot step on land but once every ten years. Land is where you will be safe, Jack Sparrow, and so you will carry land with you." She gave him the jar of dirt.
Jack took it and paused. "Dirt. This is a jar of dirt."
"Yes."
"Is the... jar of dirt going to help," Jack asked.
"If you don't want it, give it back."
"No," Jack said clutching it close to his chest.
"Then it helps."
"Next on the list is to find the Flying Dutchman," Destiny said.
Tia sat down. She picked up some random things. "A touch…..of destiny," then she let them go.
