Hi there everyone! I'd like to thank two guest and Raina-Rain-ySunshine for reviewing. I'm so happy you guys are loving it.
Chapter 10
Jack, Norrington, and I followed Elizabeth around the beach for about thirty minutes. Until she had a dramatic freak out yelling
"Jack your compass doesn't work!" she sat down ready to give up. Jack raised his eye brow looking down at the compass which was pointing to the spot where she was sitting
"No you're sitting on it," I said she quickly moved then we began to dig. Well except Jack who was meditating or something. We had dug up about two feet of sand when my shovel hit something hard. "Stop digging we've got it," I said excitedly Jack jumped onto his feet and helped Norrington lift the chest out of the hole. We all huddled around the chest watching as Jack opened the lid. Inside of it there were love letters and dried out roses covering what we had come for, a smaller steel chest. Even from where I was crouching next to Elizabeth I could hear the thumping of Davy Jones's heart
"It's really real," Elizabeth laughed. I smiled looking over at Jack he was grinning ear to ear.
"I can't believe it you were telling the truth, Sparrow," Norrington said shocked
"You'll be surprised how often I do tell the truth. No one ever seems to believe me," Jack explained
"With good reason," I heard Will's voice yell we all turned and saw him soaking wet.
"Will!" Elizabeth beamed ran over to him and kissed him
"Oh thank heaven Will you escaped!" I said relieved "Jack and I we're so worried,"
"Sure you were," Will snapped
"How did you get here?" Jack asked looking a tad bit more at ease
"I roped two sea turtles and strapped them to my boots," Will joked
"Harder then it sounds," Jack laughed
"But I due owe you a thanks," Will said walking over to us
"Really whys that," Jack frowned
"After you tricked me onto that bloody ship I was reunited with my father,"
"Look Will, I'm sorry for that. My husband had a stupid plan which involved you being giving back to use. Which obviously didn't work," I explained I got up walking over to him with Jack close behind me
"Nightstar you shouldn't have to apologize for your husband. He should be the one who's saying I'm sorry even though he probably wouldn't mean it," Elizabeth explained glaring at Jack
"Excuse me; you don't know anything about Jack!" I hissed Jack grabbed my shoulder pulling me closer
"Drop it love it's not worth it, Rose," Jack whispered in my ear
"but-" I began
"Love," he said
"Fine," I sighed Will walked over to the chest kneeling down by it. He unsheathed his knife and was about to unlock the chest.
"Mate, what are you doing," Jack asked a hint of panic in his voice
"I'm going to kill Jones I promised my father that I would free him," Will explained Jack unsheathed his sword placing it against Will's neck.
"I can't let you do that, mate. If Jones is dead no one will be able to call off his little pet," Jack frowned Norrington pulled out his sword too saying
"Sorry I can't let you do that either," I couldn't believe it was he on our side or is this going to go really bad
"Finally I knew that you would warm up to me!" Jack laughed making a move to grab the key from will when the Commodore swung his sword at him.
"Lord Beckett desires the contents of that chest. If I deliver it, I get what I worked so hard for back," Norrington brought to light
"Okay it just got worst," I thought to myself
"Oh so you've chosen the dark ambition," Jack sighed disappointed
"Or how I see it the promise of redemption," he replied as the two men with swords bickered at each other I watched Will fall backward onto Elizabeth grabbing her sword bringing there attention back onto him. He added himself to the carious; they began to fight leading each other away from the chest. I heard Will order Elizabeth to guard the chest but she refused. She went screaming after them like that was going to make them stop what they were out to do. I, being the only smart woman apparently, grabbed the chest and began running back to the row boat. Elizabeth stopped her ranting long enough to notice what I was doing.
"Hey, get back here! What are you doing," she said suprised from behind me
"My husband needs this more then your future husband," I yelled back at her I ran for what felt like hours but I knew they were only mere minutes. My body began to hurt like crazy. "Man, being pregnant is going to be harder then I thought," I mumbled to myself. Up ahead I could see Pintel and Ragetti running towards me
"Here boys hold this why don't cha and don't let it out of your sight," I panted handing them the chest I leaned against the tree trying to catch my breath.
"Are you alright Nightstar?" Pintel asked me
"Y- Yea I'm fine just give me a minute," I said finally when I felt like I wasn't going to pass out anymore we started making our way up the trail. Elizabeth was waiting for us, we all stopped watching as she went to pull out her sword but there was nothing there. The boys gave me the chest smiling as they drew there cutlass.
"Can we?" Pintel asked looking back at me
"Do whatever you see necessary," I said shrugging Elizabeth looked terrified as Ragetti and Pintel crept closer to her.
"Hello poppy," Ragetti grinned evilly I heard could hear the sound of swords clanging. We all stopped what we were doing as we watched Norrington and Will fighting on top of a, now rolling, water mill as Jack ran on the side of it trying to jump on. Elizabeth smiled saying
"I think my future husband is winning,"
"For now," I replied before we could do anything a hatch flew into a tree I was standing next to. I looked pass Elizabeth seeing that Davey Jones men were coming right for us.
"Run!" I ordered the guys handed there swords to Elizabeth then ran pass me not even bothering to take the chest from me. Elizabeth and I were close behind them. Man you would think this chest would be super light considering there's just a heart in there but it's not! It slipped out of my grip dropping onto the ground. We tried to stand our ground but they all just came at us ignoring the chest completely which is crazy in my opinion. As we fought we were pushed back inch by inch farther and farther away from the unattended chest. Being one sword short though we had to do a lot of juggling. Finally we were able to push the men back to where we left the chest.
"Where is it?" I said looking around it had just disappeared
"Maybe we left it up feather ahead," Elizabeth said we followed her up the path seeing it lying there perfectly fine no fish man by it.
"Weird I could have sworn that we left it back there," I thought. But I didn't have time to sit around to think about it. We ran back to the shore bring some more of Davey's crew with us. I fought hard focused on just getting out of here alive, when I got a chance I took a look around seeing Jack fighting with an ore from the boat but no a sign of Will or Norrington. I fought my way over to Jack getting back to back with him.
"We have the chest," I said to him stabbing a hammerhead in the chest
"Oh really," Jack laughed as if he knew something I didn't.
"What's so funny?" I asked him
"You'll see," He replied slicing away at the men. The water wheel from earlier came rolling out of the forest to the shallow end of the shore then fell on it's side. A very dizzy, Will and Norrington come out.
"Duck," Jack yelled I ducked down and he wacked one of Jone's crew in the head.
"Thanks," I said he nodded we notice that Pintel and Ragetti had thrown the chest into the row boat. They were about to push it out to sea when Will stopped them. He pulled out the chest examining it Jack trotted over with his ore and knocked him out.
"Jack!" I yelled utterly shocked
"What he was by my chest," Jack pointed out we regrouped by the Will's unconscious body. We watched as more of Jones's crew arrived
"We're not going to get out of this alive are we," Elizabeth asked
"Not with the chest," Norrington said grabbing it "I'll lead them away while you row away
"No, you're mad," she yelled
"Best respect his last wishes," Jack said forcing her into the boat. We rowed back to the ship
