Part 124

(Pearl)

(When Jack dove of the cliff)

(The crew of the pearl busied themselves tying and repairing the torn sails)

(Gibbs stood at the wheel silently taing the occasional sip from his flask)

(Tia Dalma was sitting on the deck crossed legged her eyes firmly shut)

(her face expressionless)

(a loud splash interupted the peaceful silence surrounding the ship)

(the crew quickly rushed to the side of the ship dropping everything)

(Gibbs looked over the rail questioningly)

(Tia remained on the ground still no sign of noticing the splash)

Gibbs: Who was that??

(he asked her)

(Tia smiled still not opening her eyes)

Tia: That would be ye captain

(the crew turned to her shocked)

Crew member: the lady talks though she doesnt see

(he exclaimed)

(Tia stood up and walked up to him)

(her eyes flashing with fury)

(he looked him dead in the eyes causing him to quiver in fear)

Tia: Ye will not underestimate me powers

Man: Aye

(he choked out)

Gibbs: Do ye er think we should be going after 'im??

(he inquired)

Tia: watch

(she told them)

(the crew nodded and turned back to the sea)

(they watched as Jack surfaced)

(he started gasping for air)

Gibbs: He is in trouble 'e needs us

(he exclaimed)

(Tia didn't respond)

(suddenly Jack dove back underwater and started swimming)

Grant/Teague: Where is he going??

(he asked having just realised what is happening)

Barbossa: By the looks of things he's going te the dutchmen

(he said with a laugh)

Gibbs: mother's love Jack what have ye got yeself into this time?

James: Won't he be killed if he goes back there???

(they looked at Tia silently waiting for a response)

Tia: Why would the crew kill their Captain?

(she asked with a smile)

Grant/Teague: Their their captain??

(he whispered)

Tia: Aye Jack be there new captain

Gibbs: But what about...

(the sounds of Bootstrap running toward them caused them all to turn to the dirrection of the dock)

(Bootstrap ran up the ramp and past the crew stopping only in front of Tia)

Bootstrap: Jack's captain of the dutchmen, you have to take us to Tortuga

(he said quickly to Tia)

(she nodded)

Gibbs: What??

(Tia walked toward the wheel of the ship)

Tia: I will be taking ye all to Tortuga where ye are free te do as ye wish

Gibbs: What about the pearl??

Tia: I will hide it until te time for it is once again upon us

(she told them)

(they looked at her confused)

Crew Member: But

Tia: Jack will be fine now get back te work

(she answered before he had asked her)

(he opened his mouth to say something but decided against it)

(the crew sighed sorrowful before heading back to their duties)

(Barbossa smiled)

Barbossa: Looks like Im Captain

(he joked to Tia)

(she looked at him seriously)

Tia: No in fact i am

Barbossa: What!

Tia: There will be no arguing go!

(he glared at her but she ignored him)

(then without another word he disappeared below deck)

(Tia closed her eyes once more and slowly began directing the pearl out of the bay)
