A lot of questions will be answered and some surprises that some of you may have figured out already. Now Elizabeth is a little out of character but it's to add a little drama to it. The end will have a little spin on it too so please don't flame up the story. I'd like to thank RosesMoon for reviewing on chapter 7 & 8, and .Okumura for reviewing on chapter 7. Glad to hear you guys are loving it! Now here's chapter 9!
I DO NOT OWN PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN OR IT'S CHARACTERS THE ONLY THIN I DO OWN IS NIGHTSTAR! YAY!
Chapter 9
"Rose, do you remember the first time we met?" Jack asked me as we walked the dark streets of Tortuga to the bay.
"Of course I do you made a bee line towards me thinking you were going to get lucky," I laughed remembering the way bowed down kissing my hand like I was a lady of royalty.
"Yes, then I was trying so hard to charm you into my bed that night," he said a smile on his face
"But I wouldn't budge my father had told me that you were a drunken pervert who didn't love anything," I said he chuckled pulling me closer to him
"I'm glad that didn't happen the first night," he smiled looking down at me
"Why's that?" I asked him
"It gave me the chance to fall in love with you first. Making that moment not just some one night stand, it meant more to me. I'm lucky to have a woman like you love," he explained I didn't know exactly what to say. I couldn't find the words to describe how happy I was to hear how much he cared about me.
"I love you," I whispered to him that summed it all up in my option. Then I kissed him spilling all my love, passion, and division for him in it. We broke apart Jack rested his forehead on mine.
"I live for moments like this," he said quietly to me.
"Me too now we better hurry up or Gibbs will leave without us," I joked grabbing his hand. We made our way quickly back to the ship Gibbs was there trying to load everyone up.
"We're ready to make sail whenever you are Captain," Gibbs said
"Captain Sparrow I heard someone yell from behind us I looked over my shoulder and saw a young boy walking with Norrington.
"Come to join my crew lad?" Jack smiled turning around to look at him
"No, I've come to find the man I love," the boy said Jack's eyes widen looking over at me he started to point to the ship. "Get ready to run," he mouthed
"I'm quite flattered but I'm married," Jack explained the boy raised his eye brow quite shocked by his statement
"What to whom if you don't mind me asking?" he asked Jacked wrapped an arm around my waist
"This beautiful lass right here," Jack said
"Nightstar," the boy exclaimed
"Yes, so sorry lad I'm already claimed," Jack said quickly leading me over to the loading board
"William Turner is the man I'm speaking of," the boy sighed I let go of Jack walking closer to the fake boy
"Elizabeth," I whispered she took off her hat reviling herself
"I know Will came to find you where is he?" she asked
"Elizabeth, I am truly sorry to have to tell you this. Through an unfortunate turn of events Will has been press-ganged into Davy Jones's crew. But no worries I have a plan to get young Turner out of his horrible fate," Jack reassured her
"Jack have you been drinking a lot of rum by chance?" she said looking over at me
"No I have not! That reminds me Gibbs!" he yelled Mr. Gibbs ran off the ship over to Jack
"Yes Captain,"
"Hide the rum and hurry," Jack ordered Mr. Gibbs grabbed the bottles of rum and loaded them on the ship.
"So Davy Jones has my Will," Elizabeth said trying to process this crazy explanation
"Captain of the Flying Dutchmen you're mad those are only legend," Mr. Norrington hissed
"What other legends have you heard that ended up being real," I asked them quietly
"Captain Barbossa and his crew of the undead," she said realizing that everything we were telling her was true. "What are we going to do to defeat him?"
"You want to find William that's the one thing you want to do the most correct?" Jack asked
"Yes, with all my heart and soul," she replied he pulled out his compass
"There is a chest with the still beating heart of Davey Jones whoever possesses that chest has leverage over Jones. We can command him to do whatever we want including saving William from his fate," Jack explained handing it to her
"Why do we need the compass?" she asked watching as the needle spun round and round
"It doesn't ever point north it only points to the one thing you want most in this world," Jack said
"He's not lying to me Nightstar?" Elizabeth asked me looking a little afraid of what the answer may be.
"No he isn't, Jack will demonstrate it if you would like," I smiled he shook his head no "Yes you are Jack," I glared at him he knew this was a fight that he wouldn't win.
"Alright love," he sighed Elizabeth handed him the compass and watched carefully as it pointed north were I was standing
"I thought you said it didn't go north-," she began but Jack cut her off
"Watch," he said gruffly I began to move back and forth the compass needle following me.
"Oh my gosh," Elizabeth gasped Norrington looked amazed Jack smiled handing her the compass once more
"So what is our header Miss. Swan?" Jack asked
"North east it looks like," She said Jack lead the way onto the Black Pearl where the crew was sitting round.
"Mr. Gibbs we have our header," Jack announced
"Finally that only took you a damn century," Gibbs laughed
"I know I was starting to lose hope," I joked grabbing my husband hand
"Well maybe you shouldn't be so irresistible," he winked at me then he let go he turned to his crew who were now running around getting to there post.
*Jack's POV*
This is probably one of the most brilliant planes I have ever come up with! Elizabeth finds the chest, I get control over Jones, I set Will free from the fate I accidently but him in, I get to sail the seven seas with my Rose together. See it's an amazing plan but everything can't be that simple can it? Apparently our brave William was working for Lord Cutler Beckett, of the East India Trading Company. He wanted my compass to get to the chest! Well it'll be to late by the time he figures out everything because I am the smartest pirate on the sea.
"So how did you come by those documents Elizabeth?" I asked as we stood by the ship rail
"A persuasion," she smile lightly touching my arm "Have you ever been persuaded by a woman?" running her hand down my arm
"Well, umm by my wife," I said backing up a bit "My wife Nightstar who I love very much,"
"Ahhh, I see so she runs your world," Elizabeth laughed our faces a few inches apart "And oh how I know you want me just like I want you," she whisper brushing her lips against my ear then walking away
"And what makes you think I want that?" I asked her trying get away from her
"Curiosity, you're going to want to know what it tastes like, what it feels like to love a noble woman," She said softly placing her hands on my chest. Our mouth were only inches apart it was tempting yes but then Rose popped in my head. Her voice filled my ears
"I love you Jack more then anything,"
"And I love you Rose," I thought to myself "Rose is all I need and all I ever want," I hissed lightly pushing her away. Just in time Rose made her way up the stairs.
"Mr. Gibbs want you to check the heading Elizabeth make sure we're still on the right course," She said
"Oh a- ye- yes I can do that," she stuttered she opened the compass looking down at it "Yep we're fine still the same direction," Rose nodded then walked back over to Gibbs. I quickly followed her not looking back once at the sea siren they called Elizabeth.
"Nightstar's POV*
I sat in Jack and my room thinking. There were something's that just couldn't add up in my mind. Like what Tia Dalma said "He lives on in me," thing. It would of made more sense if she had just gestured at my hear, but she also touched my stomach. Then with Jones when he was trying to negotiating giving him my soul along with Will's "Two souls in one" what he was saying is impossible there can't be two souls in one person. Unless, no I can't be I would have known right if I was… if I was pregnant. Then all the signs popped into my head, me being sick all the time, and the mood swings I've been having so much one minute I'm happy the next I want to tear someone's face off. I didn't know weather to be happy that I figured it out or freak out I mean we chose the wrong time to bring a child into the world. Jack's life is hanging by a thread but I guess we really didn't choose it this just happened. A million questions popped into my head.
"Should I tell Jack? Should I tell anyone? Should I wait until all of this is over?" I wanted to wait for a happier moment to tell him. I was going to have his child I couldn't believe half of me secretly wanted this so much. Jack and I agreed when we were first wedded that a child shouldn't be raised on a pirate ship. But the crew is practically our family where better to raise a child surrounded by people that love them even though they don't say it. I placed a hand over my belly smiling the goddess Calypso gave me my light at the end of the tunnel. The door flew open and Jack ran into the room running over to his secret rum stash.
"It's a bit early to be drinking don't you think," I laughed
"It's not rum I'm looking for, love," he said frantically as he pulled out his jar of dirt. My body went cold as I stared at him
"Jack it's back again the black spot isn't it," I frowned he just simply nodded
"We're close to shore though which means we're closer to the chest," he said "And I want you to stay here,"
"No I'm not I'm coming with you. Jack how many times has this happen you ask me to stay on the ship and what usually ends up happening?" I asked him slightly annoyed
"Well you're a wonderful wife that says alright love I'll stay," he lied
"No I end up coming with," I hissed
"Fine but you have to stay in the row boat," he sighed I laughed a bit
"Oh you're so funny Jack; I'm not going to sit in a damn boat either,"
"Whatever why do I even try," he mumbled to himself
"One more thing," I said he looked over at me expecting to get slapped or something along those lines but I pulled him into a kiss. The heat built between us as he ran his tongue along my lower lip asking for entrance. I granted him his wish and our tongues began to dance together. Finally we had to break apart for air.
"Wha- What was that for," he panted
"Consider that your good luck kiss," I smiled winking at him then I grabbed his hand and we made our way over to the row boat. With a jealous looking Elizabeth watching our every move
