Chapter 6

"James!" Bootstrap hollered as he walked along the deck.

James whipped his head around, "Oh Bootstrap. You startled me."

Bootstrap wanted nothing to do with what Will was about to do so he tried to get it done as quick as possible.

"Captain wants to talk to you in his quarters."

"Alright, anything in particular I should be worried about?"

"No, nothing why?"

"You seem uptight, like you're angry or something or rather."

"Just go and see Will."

James headed off to the quarters, he had no idea what was going on and was confused as ever.

He went in the cabin doors to see Will standing up looking out the window.

"You called for me," James said walking in.

"Shut the door," Will said bluntly without looking.

James was confused even more; he went and shut the door.

"Have a seat," Will said again bluntly without looking again.

"I think I'm fine just standing."

Will turned around slowly, "Well I think that you need to sit for this."

James sat down, he didn't want any trouble, especially with Will, and he was James' only way of getting back to the "human world".

"James there is something I need to talk to you about."

"I think I already figured that one out."

"Ha-ha, why do you think I brought you 'back'" Will said emotionless.

"I don't know… you couldn't bare watching one of your best friends suffer," James said sarcastically.

"You and I never really did get along did we, I guess it was on Elizabeth. We both wanted something that only one of us could have. And when it came down to it, she chose… and we split ways, you to Tortuga eventually and I with Elizabeth in Port Royal. Our paths then crossed again with Davy Jones and lets just say, you changed on the outside but really you've always been nothing but a low life, scum bag, love struck man. Like us, here James, on my ship you don't have to deal with any of those people," Will was now walking around the room gesturing with his hands, while James stayed sitting, "People out there don't care what happens to you, because out there in the real world, it's every man for himself. I'll make you an offer Norrington, if you say yes… then you shall never have to deal with any of them again,"

"And if I say no?"

"Then you will jump ship on the island and live on your life how you please, no hard feelings."

"What's the catch Turner?"

"The catch?" Will said looking confused at James for a moment and then turning round so that James couldn't see his face.

"What is it that you oh so deliberately need? Pirates don't just offer safe quarters like that."

Will rolled his eyes, put on a smile and turned back around to James, "James, you did once save Elizabeth's life, and like I said, for that I am forever in your debt. We got off to a rocky start and all but come on. No hard feelings?"

"You still haven't told me what I would be saying yes to."

"Ah-hah, how could I forget? I need someone to… to help me run the ship so to say—"

"Like a co-captain?"

"Exactly! Someone to help me keep the crew in order, and the ship at its maximum quality."

James was confused, Will and him had never truly liked each other and now here Will was offering him a safe life, something seemed, ironic with the crews past, fishy.

"I see…" James said quietly.

"So think about it, give me an answer by tomorrow night."

Will had begun walking out when James stood up and began talking. "Why can't your father take the spot? He's a good man, knows the ship better than anyone."

Will turned around to face James, "My father? It's true, he does know this ship and everything about her more than anyone else, but he's just not the right man for the job."

"Then why me?"

"Why you? Because you James have seen it all, I saw the way you ran things before you died. You knew what you wanted and did your best to get it done. You never put down a fight, honest or not. By bringing you back, we get a second chance to get along. You're a good man Norrington, and I know how much Elizabeth cares for you, so if she likes you, then you must not be that bad."

"I'll do it."

"What?" Will said confused.

"I'll take the position," James said bluntly.

"Really? That was fast. What made you want to accept?"

"I agree with you Turner, if Elizabeth likes you then you must not be that bad. Do we have an accord?" James shade holding out his hand.

Will was closing the trap he had planned, "Deal!" Will said happily as they shook hands. "You'll start tomorrow!"

"Good," James said happily.

"Welcome to the crew Norrington!" Will said walking out.

"Thanks" James said as he stood there for a moment as a sly smile came upon his face. This was perfect for James; his plan was also now falling into place.

Each of the men had there own plans of getting what they wanted, and neither of them were going to back down easy.

Will walked onto the deck also with a sly look on is face.

"William come here," Bootstrap said as they headed over to the railing were no one else cold here them.

"Ah father, how are you doing?" Will said happily.

"Did you tell him?"

"Oh Norrington? Let's just say step one is complete," Will said slyly.

"Will, you don't know what you're doing, this isn't right."

"How would you know what's right and wrong for me?"

"I'm your father, it's my job to make sure you don't do anything stupid."

"This is my ship now, and it's my job to do with it what I please," Will said beginning to walk away.

"It's happening to you. It's consuming you flesh and bone," Bootstrap said quietly.

"What?" Will said turning around but staying where he was.

"I never saw it happen to Jones but I've heard stories. Will you can't give into it, you can't let yourself go this low."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You're becoming like Jones! You've been slithering around acting all high and mighty, you're not like that, you're the exact opposite!"

"People change father!"

"You're right Will, They do! When you first became captain of this ship, you gave it a purpose again! And now… now you're taking it back away. I won't let you do this—"

"You know what? I am sick of you pushing me around like I'm just a kid. I grew up dad! You just weren't there to see it—"

"I didn't have a choice!"

"Yes you did—"

"William listen to yourself! You're becoming a… a monster!"

Will started calming down, his father was right, Will hadn't realized it but his hatred for life or more missing life had consumed him and changed him inside and out. He was to the point were if he wanted to turn back now would be the only time. But Will ignored the feeling.

"I—, I need to go check the crew," Will said storming off.

Bootstrap was devastated watching his son, his only son and family, lean towards what seemed to be a dark fate.
