Chapter 5-Davy Jones' Locker

So Davy Jones locker, always a great part of the story. I'm sorry I'm taking so long to publish this it's just I have had an idea for a new story involve a program called Charmed which is taking up my time along with my school work. Anyway I hope you enjoy the chapter, I don't own POTC, but Scarlet is my pirate

All that could be heard was a voice dark and strong, echoing in my ears, "Strike your colours, you bloomin' cockroaches...dead men tell no tales."

The water lapped at my body as we collapsed onto the beach, I coughed and sputtered. I took a deep breath. The ship was long destroyed, pieces floating in the water around us.

"This truly is a Godforsaken place," Gibbs said looking around the deserted beach.

"I don't see Jack, I don't see anyone," Elizabeth helpless voice was beginning to slightly annoy me like when I was first on a trip with her.

"He's here. Davy Jones never once gave up that what he took," Barbossa spoke next, also looking around.

"I can sense him," I said simply. I could feel he was close, my heartbeat had increased. I got up carefully, not wanting to get up quickly encase I had hurt my body at all.

"It doesn't matter, we're trapped here by your doing, no different than Jack," Will mourned at Barbossa. He had a point, and none of us knew what to do.

I was about to turn around and yell at him but Tia who was petting a crab spoke, "Witty Jack is closer dan you t'ink." there were lots of them all appearing out of no where and crawling towards her.

Just then a ship appeared over the hill, moving the sand as it went. The crabs similar to the one Tia had in her hands moved it along. It was a ship with black sails. The Black pearl, and if I thought it couldn't get any better than that. Jack was holding the top of the mask. "Impossible," Tai breathed.

"Nothing Impossible with Jack," I said back smiling slightly at him. I didn't really know what I was going to say, how to act.

"Boat," Ragetti said stupidly.

"Slap me thrice and hand me to me momma, it's Jack!" Gibbs yelled as we all ran towards him.

"It's the captain!" Pintel exclaimed.

"A sight for sore eyes! Jack!" Gibbs said.

"Mr Gibbs!" Jack replied, he looked odd as if he had something wrong with him, but then I guess that what the locker did to you, but it didn't matter how he looked to me he was perfect.

"Aye captain," Gibbs replied.

"I thought so. I expect you can account for your actions, then?" Jack said, what was he on about?

"Sir?" Gibbs questioned probably wondering the same thing.

"There has been a perpetual and virulent lack of discipline aboard my vessel! Why is that, sir?" Did he not know where he was?

"You're in Davy Jones' locker, Captain," Gibbs informed him. Looking at him like he had two heads. Jack stopped moving for a moment then started again.

"I know that. I know where I am, and don't think I don't," Jack responded.

"Jack Sparrow," Barbossa said stepping forward.

"Ah, Hector. It's been too long, hasn't it?" Jack said.

"Aye, Isla de Muerta, remember? You shot me," Barbossa said, I smiled slightly at the memory. My big kiss with Jack after all those years was after that.

"No I didn't," Jack responded. By this time we were all looking at him as if he had lost his mind. Of course Jack must remember that! He moved along the line looking at all of us.

Stopping at me, I didn't know how I looked into his eyes without kissing him senseless or crying my eyes out yet somehow I managed. We stood there for a moment while just looking at each other, then he spoke, "'and you, if I ignore you then all the hurt will disappear."

As Jack moved along a single tear slide down my cheek. He moved to stand in front of Tia, "Ah, Tia Dalma, out and about, eh? You lend an agreeable sense of the macabre to any delirium," Jack said. Then I understood why he spoke to Barbossa like that.

"He thinks we're a hallucination," Will said.

Jack moved to stand in front of Will before speaking, "William, tell me something. Have you come because you need my help to rescue a certain distressing damsel? Or rather a damsel in distress? Either one."

"No," Will answered simply.

"Then you wouldn't be here. So you can't be here. Q.E.D. you're not really here," was Jack response.

Elizabeth stepped forward next, "Jack, this is real, we're here."

Jack looked at her for the first time. The look on his face wasn't one of love though it was one of fear and shock, I didn't understand I thought he kissed her? He then quickly ran back to Gibbs, "The locker, you say?"

"Aye," Gibbs nodded.

"We've come to rescue you," Elizabeth said taking a step towards him. I felt jealously course through my veins.

"Have you, now?" Jack questioned, "That's very kind of you. But seeing as I possess a ship and you don't, it seems as though you're the ones in need of rescuing and I'm not sure as I'm in the mood."

"I see my ship," Barbossa said pointing at the Pearl, "right there."

Jack pretended to look then said, "Can't spot it, must be a tiny little thing hiding somewhere behind the Pearl."

I sighed, this was never going to end between them. Will took a step forward then getting us back onto topic, "Jack. Cutler Beckett has the heart of Davy Jones. He controls the Flying Dutchman."

Elizabeth was next to speak, "He's taking over the seas."

"The song has already been sung. The Brethren Court is called," me and Tia said at the same time. I smiled over at her afterwards.

"Leave you people alone for a minute and look what's happened, every thing's gone to pot," Jack said. I struggled not to laugh at his attitude, I didn't realise how much I missed him until he was standing here in front of me. So close but yet so far.

"Aye, Jack. The world needs you back something fierce," Gibbs smiled.

"And you need a crew," Will finished.

"Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you have tried to kill me in the past, one of you succeeded." I stared in shock at Elizabeth. No she couldn't have I watch her kiss him, not kill him. Will had the same look on his face.

I suddenly felt anger run through me. How dare she? She pretended to be upset, but she was just a murderess. The sea around us suddenly picked up, roaring and hitting the sand with such force that it began to shake. Tia rushes to me and puts her arms around me, rocking me like you do a small child. She whispered in my ear, "My child, calm down. Your powers are gonna cause mayhem!"

I took a deep breath and the waves began to calm down to the way they were before, "Sorry," I apologized quietly, everyone stared at me like I had two heads.

Jack was the first to recover, "Oh, she's not told you? You'll have loads to talk about while you're here," He turned to face Tia, "As for you..."

"Now, don't tell me you didn't enjoy it, at the time," Tia interrupted. I shivered at the images that filled my head.

"All right, fair enough, you're in," He began to move down the line to Ragetti, "Don't need you, you scare me. Gibbs, you can come. Marty. Cotton. Cotton's parrot, I'm a little iffy, but at least I'll have someone to talk to." then he reached Tai, "Who are you?"

"Tai Huang. These are my men."

"Where do your allegiances lie?" Jack questioned

"With the highest bidder," was the simply reply.

"I have a ship," Jack offered.

"That makes you the highest bidder," Smiled Tai.

Then Jack turned to me, "and you Scarlet where do ye allegiances lie?"

I hated acting like I didn't care but he seemed not to, "With the way out of this evil place." I replied, my voice giving no emotions.

"Fine you may stay," Was his only reply. I couldn't help feeling more hurt after all our time together we were going to end like this. Tia was wrong he didn't love me any more, even if he didn't love Elizabeth. Then he looked around, and began ordering, "Good man. Weigh anchor, all hands, prepare to make sail." He looked down at his compass then back up in confusion.

"Jack," I turned to see Barbossa with the charts, "which way ya goin', Jack?"

The resigned look on his face told me we hadn't got rid of them like I'd hoped.

I will write again soon I promise, please keep the lovely reviews up
