Cold As Glass
Sequel to Heart of Glass
A Pirate Lord's Adventure
Chapter 7
I sighed, after telling Will the rather long story, editing some parts. Like the part about me meeting his father, and my bargain with Davy Jones to retrieve Jack and send Jack to Davy Jones Locker.
But it wasn't like Will needed to know right now, after all, if I wanted to win this game of cat and mouse, I needed to twist Will around, so once he gets the compass, I can give Jack to Davy Jones.
"But why are you going to Jack?" Will questioned, while starring out at the water, obviously in deep thought about our whole predicament.
I sighed and lied, with my newly found acting skills that has come with my cold heart," He is the only family I have left Will, and if I am wanted by the law, I have to go with him and hide myself. Plus, if I really am suppose to be the next Pirate Lord for the Caspian Sea, I must to find out how to get my piece of eight. And Jack may be the only person who knows where to find it."
Will nodded in considerately, before answering," I understand very well, Beaux."
I nodded back to him, while I starred out at the ocean. Remembering how Sirius and I had sat exactly how Will and I were now, looking out at Sea, talking about the most trivial things, after Jack had been arrested and my father had been killed by my own hand.
But now as I sat here, with Will, my heart was swelling up with sadness. I hated the fact that I was already a widow at the mere age of eighteen years.
"Are you really going to become a Pirate Lord?" Will questioned me, looking over at me. Looking surprisingly interested.
I shrugged my shoulders," Maybe, but probably, since I haven't anything else to do or be."
Will then sighed and murmured," You know, they'll chase after you until you're dead or under their service."
"I know," I bitter sweetly smiled up at him," but it is worth it. I don't have anything left on land. My life is out on the sea."
"I thought you were never going to touch the sea again, after you lost Sirius?" Will countered, looking down at me cautiously, obviously not wanting to step on shaky ground. Even though he was.
I sighed in defeat. I had promised never to, but in a way I didn't break my promise. I was going to get my revenge upon Jack, then after that I will have lost all connections to everyone, and after that I can go retire out at sea, remaining forever close to Sirius.
"Things have changed," I looked out at sea," and it is the only way I can I live out my life. Like Sirius would have wanted me too."
It was silent for a moment between Will and I, before I heard him bargain," If you can help me get a hold of Jack's compass, I'll try to see what I can do about getting the East India Trade Company off of your trail."
I looked over at him, only to see him smile and hold out his hand," Deal?"
Hesitantly I looked down at his hand, before whispering," You don't know what you are getting yourself into, Will." But I shook his hand in acceptance of our bargaining.
Will smiled happily at me, but behind my mirroring smile, I was coldly calculating how, and where, I would get a hold of Captain Jack Sparrow.
"Land!"
Instantly Will and I jumped up and ran over to the railings, where the shrimper stood, with a telescope.
"Let me see!" I yanked the telescope from his hands, and brought it up to my eye. And there upon the shower was a beached Black Pearl.
I passed the telescope over to Will, while I murmured," Something isn't right."
Will looked forward, but remained silent, as he passed the telescope over to the shrimper.
"My brother will take you ashore," The shrimper announced, as he compacted his telescope.
Will and I both nodded in understanding, while the crew of the shrimper vessel began to get a small boat ready for us.
"Your payment?" The shrimper held out his hand, with a cheeky grin.
I groaned and dug into my pack and pulled out the rest of my payment, as did Will. And as soon as the Shrimper had asked for it, he walked away fingering the gold coins with much interest.
I sighed and looked back out at the approaching beach.
Jack better be there, or else I will kill him before Davy Jones even gets a chance to touch him.
