Chapter 5: Night In Tortuga

5 Years Later

I duck as a rum bottle is thrown in my direction, hitting the wall behind me, its contents splashing everywhere. I look at the man who had just thrown it; he glances at me but soon turns his attention to another pirate that is coming towards him with his sword drawn. So I narrow my eyes getting up from my chair, grab my mug of rum and gulping it down. When I quickly finish I throw it down and draw out my sword. I find the man who had thrown the bottle of rum at me; I quickly find him and run over to him. He had just knocked a man out, then he turned to face me, he wore a cheeky smile, but his smile quickly vanished when I gave him a murderous grin. I quickly begin fighting with him.

After sword fighting with him for a few minutes he seems to be tiring out, our swords clash. He is breathing hard and the look of desperation covers his face, I just look at him giving him yet another smile. I swiftly turn all the way around and punch him in the side of the head as hard as I could, which was pretty damn hard. He falls to the ground, knocked out cold. I look down at him and smirk; taking his sword I move on to the next pirate I came to.

After hours of sword fighting I became tired of it. I was in the middle of a big crowd of people and I had no way to get out of it, I instantly teleported myself out of it, and over into a corner. I found a bottle of rum sitting on the table that looked like it had never been drank out of. I grab it and sat down in a near by chair, propping my feet up on the table I remove the cork from the bottle of rum and take a couple big chugs of it, then lean back to watch the fighting.

A few moments later I hear someone walking closer to me, I move my hand to one of my swords. As I hear the person a few feet away I draw my sword, pointing it at whoever it was coming closer to me. I soon realize it was my father; he was shocked when I did this. I nod regretfully and put my sword back in its hilt. I turn my attention back towards the fighting; I raise my bottle to my mouth as I say, "Sorry." Then I take a big gulp of rum. My father pulls up a chair and sits down next to me. I can see out of the corner of my eye that he was watching the fighting too, but I could tell there was something that was bothering him. Without looking at him I ask, as I raise my bottle of rum to my lips once more, "What seems to be bothering you, Mr. Turner?"

I see him look over at me, he sighs and gently takes the bottle of rum from my hand. I look at him, narrowing my eyes as I watch him take a drink of it. He doesn't look at me when he says, "You." I raise my eyebrow and take back the bottle of rum. I finish it off in two big gulps; I throw it a few feet off to the side. Right when I was getting ready to ask my father why I am the one that seems to be bothering him I hear someone yell out, "Bloody 'ell!" I swiftly turn my head in the direction of the yell, narrowing my eyes I look for the source. I almost immediately see whom it was that yelled. My eyes widen as I get up from my chair and walk over to him.

"Jack?" I ask in disbelief. He turns to me and looks at me for a moment then says as he rubs his head, "William? What the bloody 'ell you doin' 'ere?" I smile at him as I realize that the bottle of rum that I had just thrown had hit him on the head. "Same reason you are here for, I suppose." He looks at me, raising his eyebrow. "Rum?" he asks as he begins walking towards the bar. "Yeah, pretty much. Don't have anything better to do." I say as we set down at the bar. I look to my right to see a man laying face down, clearly passed out from drinking too much. I smirk as I turn back to look at Jack who was ordering some rum. The bartender looks towards me and I tell him rum also. The bartender nods and turns around and retrieves our rum. I pop the cork out, raising it to my lips I bend my head back, and chug the rum in the bottle. When I place it back down on the bar, I glance over to see Jack starring at me. "What?" I say shrugging my shoulders. "Since when did ye become such a rum drinker?" he asks as he pops the cork off of his bottle of rum and take to drinks out of it then places it back on the bar.

I quickly look down at my bottle of rum, running my fingers around on the rim. I glance back up at Jack who is now looking at me, questionably. "The…the day I left Elizabeth." I say as I took my eyes back to my bottle of rum. He snorts; I look back up at him as he takes another drink of rum. "Why, may I ask." He says as he looks over at me. I look down for a second then back up. "I promised myself to someone while I was doin' my duty on the Dutchman ten years ago, if she gave me the power to save Elizabeth and my son from certain death." He raises his eyebrows when I said 'son'. I pick my bottle of rum up and finish it off. I slam it back onto the bar, strong enough that it busted, sending glass everywhere.

Jack jumps, I look down at my hand to see blood on the bar. I turn my hand over just as I did I saw my hand healing itself. I sigh, glancing back at Jack, still starring at my hand in disbelief. "I…thought the curse was over after…ye served ten years if ye both stayed faithful." He said as he slowly looked up at me. I didn't say anything; I just looked down at the floor. Then I hear Jack say 'oh' in a whisper. I look back up at him, narrowing my eyes. He was finishing off his rum. "Ye didn't stay faithful to the bonnie lass did ye?" he asked not looking at me, but at a woman who was talking to her little friends, not to far from us.

I sighed and looked at the girls too. "Yes I did stay faithful to her, but…" Jack then turned around and motioned for me to continue. "I…promised myself to Calypso, like I said earlier, if she gave me da power to walk on land so I could save my family." I say as I think back to what I just said and realized I was starting to talk like her. I had said 'da' instead of 'the'. Great I'm starting to talk like her now! I see Jack give me a jealous kind of look. "What?" I ask getting a little annoyed.

"Nothin'." He replied with a smile. I continue to look at him. His smile disappears, and he turns around to look at the remaining fighting pirates. I turn around also, leaning my back against the bar. I look down at my wedding ring, thinking of the day me and Calypso got married. I smile as I remember that day. Jack seemed to have noticed me smiling and gives me a slight nudge. I look over at him, he points to the jewel-incrusted wedding band and asks, "Who ye hitched to now?" I smirk as I look down at my wedding band, as I play with it. "Calypso." I simply say, as I look back over at Jack. He nods his head.

We set there for a few more moments in silence, until I decided it was time for me and the crew to leave. I stood up, but soon realize that I was slightly drunk. I hear Jack laugh; I look over at him, seeing that he was slightly drunk too, but when is Captain Jack Sparrow ever sober? He stands up quickly, but a little too quickly. He falls down to the ground with a loud thud. I start laughing at him, and soon find myself on the ground. He gives me a hateful look, but almost instantly he begins to laugh again. I didn't really find it funny, but smiled anyways. I slowly lifted myself up and looked around I saw half of my crew either passed out or almost passed out. As I look around I notice my father sitting in the same chair he was before I ran into Jack. He was giving me a disapproving look but I decided to ignore it.

I stagger over to the door, stepping over a few bodies as I went. When I got to the door my father came over to me, putting his hand on my shoulder he said, "I'll round up the crew, Captain." I only nodded and gave him a smile, but he didn't return it. I just shrugged and began walking to the Dutchman. I was half way there when I stop in my tracks. I was wobbly but I was standing nonetheless. 'I have the power to teleport anywhere I want!' I had forgotten about that, so not even a second later I was on the Dutchman, in my cozy cabin. I smile to myself as I see my wife, Calypso lying in bed asleep. I stagger over as quickly as I could and lean down and give her a kiss on the cheek. She opens her eyes and looks at me. I smile as I sit down on the edge of the bed and remove my boots. "Did ye 'ave fun?" she asks me with a smile. I simply nod as I remove my shirt and turn to look at her. We sit there and only stare at each other; until I move to where I am laying beside her, with my arm around her she lays her head down on my chest. I use my other hand to stroke up and down her arms.

I lean down and lightly kiss the top of her head as I whisper, "I love you." She giggles and looks up at me, I lean down and passionately kiss her. She breaks away and looks me in the eyes as she smiles and says, "I love ye too." Then she pulls my head closer to her as she passionately kisses me and I return it. But our lovely little moment was interrupted when someone knocked at the door. I groan as I reluctantly got out of bed and went to the door. I open it a slight bit, I look up to see Jack starring at me awkwardly. "Bad timing?" he asks me. I sigh and shake my head. I open the door a little more and lean against the doorframe. He smiles and says, "Good! Now ye don't mind me and me crew would like to sail along with ye." But before I could reply he swirls around and staggers off. I groan even more and I take my hand and run it down my face. I close the door and lock it. I walk over to Tia, still staggering a bit. I lay back down beside her. "Now where were we?" I ask as I lean over and passionately kiss her.
