Happy 2am, Thank you all who read, and extra special sugar-coated hugs and kisses thank you to those of you who reviewed! I'm just going to type this up before I pass out. As I've neglected to mention, I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean, because if I did I would be making out with Orlando Bloom right now.
Chapter 3: Answers
"I've waited long enough; tell me why you are so set on killing a pirate who is already dead?" Will had left on his own ship several hours ago. Jack and Aerynn were now aboard Aerynn's own ship, The Jade Princess. No one else appeared to be on the ship, every piece of equipment was performing its functions without any visible aid.
"You thought I was dead, and it was the same wound that supposedly killed us both." Aerynn herself was leaning against the central mast, a cloud of shadows forming a cover from the quickly rising sun.
"I realize that, but I am nearly certain you did not drink the lethal half of water from the fountain of youth." Jack was leaning against the mast adjacent to his sister, away from the shadows.
"People like that… people like us, can't be killed, not in any normal way at least."
"But he was completely disintegrated…" The shadows were deepening, and spreading across the ship.
"But he didn't burn. Someone like him could only be killed if you were to tear him to pieces and burn them."
"If he can't be killed, why would he want the water from the fountain of youth in the first place?" As the sun rose, the shadows lessened and became lighter, but the cloud above Aerynn's head stayed the same.
"Because, he's a sadistic double jerk who knew that his own daughter would be the second person to drink the water." If there had been anyway for Aerynn to become any more ominous, it was not known. "The whole ordeal is based on the fact that the quarter-master only sees, but does not know the truth, what he sees is useless and incorrect." Ultimate creepiness level achieved.
"Humans can't kill people like us, not unless you're one of us."
"If he's so indestructible, how was Barbossa able to stab him?" Aerynn rolled her eyes as if this was the simplest thing in the world, which it wasn't.
"A good friend of mine up in Iceland, he makes weapons so sharp that they could easily stab through one of us in a second. Not enough to kill, just enough to stun and cause enough pain to rival venom. Hector obviously hired him to make a sword."
"One final question, you keep referring to Blackbeard and yourself as 'one of us', and you mention things like venom and Icelandic specialized weapons; what are you?" As the sun climbed even higher in the sky Aerynn locked her gaze on her brother so fiercely that it made him flinch slightly, and the cloud of shadows fully dispersed.
The sun glinted brightly of her skin and set it sparkling like a million diamonds, "vampires, Jack."
