Chapter 10 A Done Deal
Back on the ocean, Leah held one of the flasks and stood on the bow; waiting for Calypso. Her part of the deal was done, and it was time that the Sea Goddess kept her part.
"Calypso, we had a deal!"
Leah shouted until her voice went horse. She gave up and tossed the flask into the ocean and retired to her cabin, trusting that Hunter would be watched after. Ten minutes later, Marcus barged in.
"Sorry, but you might want to see this."
Leah followed the novice pirate out on deck and saw Calypso in her human state. All the pirates were agains the railing, yet Hunter was the only one not afraid. He managed to reach his mother who picked him up dispite the pain from her wound. When the pirate was two feet from Calypso, she held up the flask.
"Well done, Leah. Sun down, the souls will return," Calypso said. "Use this flask for them."
Calypso handed the flask back before disappearing. Leah looked at the flask than over to the Pearl. Jack was already on his way to a new trouble filled adventure. Sun down was a few hours away,so there was no point on leaving the island's waters. The crew left the rails and went about their business when Calypso left; Yung approached Leah.
"Orders?"
"Lower anchor. We'll remain here until tomorrow."
Yung nodded and went off to rely the orders as Leah put Hunter down. She placed the flask on the opposit side of her body of her own flask. She wondered if she should drink it to heal her wound, but decided it against it for the time being. The hours past with the pirates going about their own business. Hunter was being watched by Leah, who had thoughts on other things. Finally, sun down came and the green light was seen and the Dutchman appeared. Leah ordered the anchor to be weighed and the Dragon Star went out to meet the other ship.
"Water from the Fountain of Youth," Leah said.
She went over to the ship alone. The crew had surrounded her as she explained what happened. She was still trying to get over the shock of seeing Nick as a human in a living decayed state.
"It wil replace your heart and return you to the living," Leah said to both men; who knew what she meant.
Leah handed the flask over to Will who took his shared drink and handed it over to Nick. The notable effect of the Water was seen in Nick. His body changed from the living decayed to its full living appearance; wound healed. In Will, he felt his heartbeat for the first time over ten years. Will hugged his cousin, overjoyed in the even.
"What about a captain," Bootstrap asked.
"Let Calypso worry about that."
With that said, the three walked the cross plank over to the Dragon and made way to Shipwerck Island.
