But, I didn't.

I was just two shy of seven, but...
CaptainElizabethTurner, this chappie's for you, love!
I love you guys!
-Captain Autumn-
"Captain Turner, come to us..."
Why am I jumping off of the rail? Oh, because those lovely women are singing to me. As soon as I was on the other side preparing to jump, I felt someone grab the collar of my shirt and pull me back so that I flipped over the rail. Oh, good. Maybe it's one of them.
When I looked into the girl' face, it was definetley the face of something other than just a human. A goddess even. "Will?" She whispered in that gorgeous voice.
"Don't give in..."
"I won't." I sat up, making the gorgeous girl groan. As I was getting up, she pulled me back and kissed me.
What the hell are you doing, Turner? You have a fiancee! A beautiful one at that! Oh...OH!
When my arms found their way around her neck, she giggled and pulled back as she whispered, "Nice to have you back, Captain." I smiled down at her, before turning around to look at the women singing. Now, apparently, immune to their singing, I turned back to Elle who was grabbing a rope. With a sigh, she tossed it around Jack and and in one swift motion, tied him to the mast and said, "You may want to go lock your crew up. That's what I did to mine."
"Elle-" I tore my eyes from the girls singing on the island and asked her, "-what exactly are those things?"
"Sirens." She said, locking the door up for me. Apparently, when I was in a trance, she herself somehow managed to put my crew under deck. Since I wasn't going to do it, she locked the door and said as she came back up to me, "They mesmorize even the most sensible of men with their voices. Personally, I hate all of them. Never met a singe one that I didn't like."
Oh, right. She is a goddess.
"Are they goddesses?"
She snorted and said, "No. Far from it. Life wreckers if you ask me. Jackie-" She said in a harsh tone, turning from me to stare at the mast where Jack had somehow gotten his sword out and was cutting the ropes. "Bad boy." She grabbed the sword from him, and tossed it far away from him. A murderous glare entered his eyes, but she didn't seem nearly as bothered by it as I was.
"So, why am I-"
"Oh, you're just full of questions today, aren't you, love?" She asked with a playful smirk, taking my hand and leading me to the rail. I smiled down at her as she sat on it, still holding my hand, and said, "Because the song of the Sirens' trance can only be broken by the kiss of the person that is your true love." She smiled up at me as she said, "Good thing it worked, because had it not, I'd have been suspicious."
"And you know this how?" I asked her, coming closer to her. I smiled and said, "No, let me answer for you. Goddess intuition?"
She smiled and said with a laugh, "No, darling. More like my mother's Calypso. I know everything there is to know about the sea."
"Oh really?"
"Really." She said, looking past me. Her smile quickly faded when she did so, causing me to turn around and see her mother standing behind me. With a wink to me, she hopped off of the rail, and walked to meet her mother.
I smiled to myself, and turned back out to look at the sea. We were nearing the island. I looked up at the wheel to see my father and Davy steering the ship with rags in their ears.
No doubt Davy told him about it. I just wish someone had told me.
"Have you figured it out yet?" Came a voice that I honestly didn't want to hear today. I rolled my eyes and said, "Kindly get away from me."
As I tried to walk past her, she said, "I would if you would let me."
Okay. Honestly, what the bloody hell is this girl's problem? Oh, right. Her cousin.
That did it for me, I spun around and said, "What part of me being Michelle's fiancce do you not understand? Leave me alone."
"You'll come back, Will. I know you will."
Yes, the same day that I see Jack in a powdered wig.
Speaking of Jack...I turned around to see Jack still struggling to get free of the tight bond that Elle had him in. Poor thing... What am I saying?
Going to the other side of the ship, and looking at the island we where nearing, I felt someone's arms wrap around me.
"What did I-" I stopped when I turned and met her emerald eye gaze. She looked confused, so I said, "Sorry, darling. I thought you were-" I broke off and looked down at Sara who was gazing at me. When Elle turned around and glared at her, Sara quickly turned around and walked the other way.
"What is she doing?"
"Bothering me. Saying that I'm wrong about something." Elle's face changed when I said that, "Darling, if she's saying I'm wrong about marrying you, then she's wrong."
"No, I know." She looked skeptical, but looked back up at me and smiled. "I know."
Somehow, I highly doubted that was what Michelle was thinking about. So, I leaned down and kissed her and said as I rested my head on hers, "You know I love you and only you."
She smiled as she wrapped her arms around me and said, "I know, Will."
"Captain?" I broke away from Elle to look down at my father who was turning a bright red. Couldn't blame him. That hadn't been the first time he'd walked in on... "-Sorry to interrupt, Will. But we're getting ready to go ashore."
"Aye." I said, taking Elle's hand and leading her down the stairs. When we got down, Elle stopped me and placed her hand on my forehead. That familar tingling sensation shot thru my body as she said, "You know the rules."
"Seven days and in the boat before the green flash." I finished for her, smiling. "I know, darling."
She smiled at me as Jack walked up to us with rags in his ears. "HOW COME YOU'RE NOT WEARING RAGS?!?!" He shouted because he apparently couldn't hear himself very well.
"Because-
"WHAT?"
"BECAUSE ELLE KISSED ME AND MY TRANCE WAS BROKEN!" I yelled back at him, causing Ellie to start laughing. Jack made a face as he walked past me and said, "There's no need to yell, mate."
Gapping, I stared at him as he staggered past me. Elle was trying to hold in her laughter as we followed Jack off of the Dutchman.
--------------
"...so, then. I strapped two sea turtles to me feet..." One look over at Michelle told me that she wanted to kill Jack just as much as I did. We had both heard this so many times that it wasn't even funny.
Sara was looking at him, completely interested, but I knew that she wasn't since she kept glancing back at me. Elle caught this and wrinkled her nose, as she did when she was mad about something, and took my hand pulling me closer to her.
"Jack, please not this story again." I said with a groan, wrapping my fingers around Elle. Fixing a rag in his ear, he turned around and said to me, " I'd like to see you tell a better one, Mr. Turner."
Narrowing my eyes at him, he said, "Thought so. Anway-" As he talked, Elle sighed and started to swing our entwined hands back and forth as she watched Sara carefully.
"I don't understand-" Jack mumbled, "-it's pointing to this bloody tree." Elle let go of my hand and walked over to look over Jack's shoulder at the compass. "He's right-" She said in agreement, "-but how could a tree have the-"
She was cut off by Jack falling forward. Landing on his back, after he did a flip, he looked up and said, "Ow...that hurt..." Putting his hurt finger in his mouth, and ignoring Elle's disgusted look, I walked over and asked, "What did he trip on?"
"A root." Sara confirmed, gazing at me. I looked over at Elle who had a murderous glare in her eyes. Then, Ellie looked down and said, "No. He tripped over the map." She said 'matter-of-factly' as she triumpantly reached down and pulled out the map that was under the root of the tree.
"Nice work, Ellie." Jack said, still sucking on his finger. Elle smiled at him, but stopped when she said, "Honestly, Jackie. You have no idea where that's been!"
But Jack wasn't listening, he was already walking back in the direction of our ships.
-----------
"That was fast." My father said, reaching down and pulling Michelle up gently. She smiled up at him as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and asked, "Did you get what you were looking for?"
Jack was next to get up...I would have been...
"Jack, honestly..." I mumbled as he climbed over me sending us both into an awkward position. Jack smirked as he hopped over the railing and said to my father, "Yes." He waved the waved the old, wrinkled and brown map in his face. I came up over the railing as my father stared at Jack and asked, "What's the clue?"
Grant appeared a minute later walking down the stairs and said, "It better be good, Jack." No one could hear it but me, but Jack mumbled a very good impression of Grant under his breath as he unfolded the parchment. Sara hopped over the rail, and came to stand beside me. Casually, I slipped away from her, and went to stand next to Elle who was smirking at me.
Jack finally managed to unfold the crinkled up map, only slight tearing ot once and he read, "Vaya al lugar donde los corsés son apretados, y su Colmillo siempre ganaba cada lucha."
"Go to the place where corsets are tight, and their Fang always won each fight." Elle translated for the people on the ship that hadn't a clue what the hell Jack had just said. Both Jack and Elle locked glances as they said together, "Singapore."
Ugh. I know it wasn't the best in the world, but remember, I hadn't planned on updating.
So, since I got five reivews last chapter, that's going to be my new number for each chappie.
Five reviews, and new chappie!
YAY!
I love you guys!
MWAH!
Hugs, kisses, and sexy piratas...
