Part 96 - "You did what!"

(Isla del amor perdido)

(Shack)

(Jack lay unconcious on a long wooden table)

(Two people whispered to each other)

(His chest moved up and down at a normal pace)

(Jack's eyes cracked open and light poured instantly upon them)

(He blinked rapidly and groaned)

Jack: Where am i?

(he asked aloud)

(He tried to sit up but a firm hand pushed him back down)

(he looked to his right to see Tia sitting next to him a collection of items were carefully placed in front of her)

Tia: Lay down Jack ye need ta rest

(he reluctantly laid down his eyes still open looking at the various objects hanging above him)

(Jack looked to his left at the sound of someone sitting down next to him)

(There sat a lady who looked like a younger more prettier version of Tia)

(she smiled at him showing her pearl white teeth to him)

(not bothering to sit up again he just turned to Tia)

Jack: Who's she??

(Tia smiled)

Tia: That's me sister Anabell

(she told him)

(Jack turned over so he was facing Anabell)

Jack: Nice ta meet ya

Anabell: You too I've 'eard many stories 'bout ya

Jack: Well I bet ya have'nt 'eard...

Tia: There is no time for stories

Jack: What's the rush, I'm Captain I say when we leave

Tia: Because if we do not leave on time it could change ya destiny

Jack: So what's so important that ya needed to get me here? And why do i 'ave a pounding headache?

Anabell: We knocked ya out with a brick

(she told him with a slight smirk)

Jack: I see

(he replied lost in thoughts)

Tia: Ya familiar with my voodoo practice are ya not?

(she asked him)

Jack: Yes i am plenty familar

(he told her thinking back to a painful memory)

Tia: Well i brought ya here because i need two people who practice voodoo magic on a regular basis to perform the cantation on ya

(Jack shot up his head almost hitting one of the dangling objects)

(His face was stricken with horror)

Jack: Ahhh

(he shouted suddenly clutching his left hand which was burning with pain)

Jack: What did you do??

(he asked Tia almost shouting)

Tia: Calm down Jack let me explain

(She took a deep breath and stood up)

(She began pacing the room)

(Jack sat watching her expectantly waiting for her to explain)

Tia: Well ya see when ya left Port Royal, ya were 'eartbroken as it seems

(She told him)

Jack: Heartbroken??? I might 'ave been a little upset but nothing more

(Tia approached him)

Tia: Now is not the time to lie, i know what ya feel

(she told him)

(he nodded reluctantly)

Tia: Now where was i, oh yes, but has it seems ya were not the only one, by you leaving you not only broke ya own 'eart, as it seems ya also broke Elizabeth's 'eart

Jack: She seemed perfectly 'appy with the whelp

Tia: T'was because she was trying to convince herself she loved him

Jack: Why would she do that?

(he asked her)

Tia: She didn't want ta hurt him, ya see if she had left wit ya, he would be destined to follow da footsteps of

Anabell: Davy Jones

(the name ringing throught the small shack)

Jack: So basically it is a lose lose situation for the whelp, either he is the next Davy or he's married to a woman who doesn't love him

Tia: Ah But she does love him

(she told him)

(Jack looked at her puzzled)

Jack: But ya just said she loved me

Tia: She loves him in a way, but ya are her true love, as she is for ya

(Jack looked at her for a few seconds not knowing what to say)

Silence

Jack: So tell me

(he said breaking the silence)

Tia: Yes

Jack: What curse did ya put on me?

(he asked calming down it had finally sunk in)

Anabell: Tis a very unique one called Death in da form of love

Jack: Why do I get da feeling I'm not going to like this

(he asked himself aloud)

(Tia smiled at him)

Tia: Tis not as bad as it sounds

(she reasurred him)

Tia: I put a spell on you that will ensure that ya do not die without knowing that Elizabeth loves ya and that ya truely love her

Jack: You did what!!!!

Tia: On ya ring finger is the mark of the curse it will remain with ya till ta spell is complete

(she continued ignoring Jack)

(Jack dared steal a glance at his still burning finger)

(There on his finger was a black band in the center was a black pendant in the shape of a heart, the heart was spilt down the center and a appeared to be broken)

Jack: But ya said that we love each other what more is there to do?

Tia: I said it because i know it is true, but ya two have yet da face da truth

Jack: But what if i was da be killed lets say by those angry people out there?

Tia: Ya wouldn't be killed ya wouldn't be killed but ya would feel a flash of pain

Jack: And how would tat help me or her? And what if she was ta die?

Tia: Ta same thing as ya

Jack: I see

(he responded taking in all the information)

(Tia stood next to him in silence letting everything sink in)

Tia: We must go now, we have ta meet someone is a few minutes

(Jack didn't say anything he just got up silently)

(Anabell also stood up and showed them to the back door)

Anabell: You must hurry

(she told them)

(Tia nodded and gave her sister a quick hug)

(she then slipped out of the door with Jack following closely behind)

(Anabell watched them silently as they got further and further away till they were no longer visable)

(she then reached out to shut the door when a firm foot held the door)

(she gazed up to the person and gasped)

Anabell: they went that way

(she told the person and pointed toward where Jack and Tia went)

(he nodded and followed the path Tia and Jack had taken moments ago)
