Chapter 28

Constance carefully handled the telescope given to her by Barbossa and observed the figure of the infamous Jack Sparrow who she had heard so much about. He was currently rowing for his life along with a woman and a young man in a small rowboat. The scene was rather absurd and Constance put down the telescope and gave Barbosssa an incredulous look.

"That is Jack Sparrow?" She asked, her mouth parted in shock and perhaps a tad bit of disappointment.

"Ay that be him. But looks can be deceiving". Barbosssa murmured as he grabbed the telescope back to watch the scene unfold. Behind them both was the ghost figure of Officer Moss who had yet to say anything and Constance, despite liking him in his human form, felt unnerved around him and the crew of the Silent Mary. They had changed quite a bit and for Constance it was both upsetting and unnerving to witness.

"They are heading for that island". Constance said whilst gesturing to the land up ahead and Barbossa nodded in reply. He was looking directly at the Silent Mary and she watched as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he took a large gulp. She was about to ask what was wrong when he shoved the telescope into her hands and gestured for her to look.

She carefully looked through and tried to focus her eyes on the Silent Mary. As she looked around, she watched Captain Salazar grinning rather demonically and she felt her stomach tighten wondering what the hell he was planning. She then saw the crew dragging out what looked liked massive shark carcasses. She had never seen a shark closely but had heard tales of the fantastic creatures that roamed the seas from her cousin all those years ago. But the half rotting corpses of the sharks did not look like the impressive creatures she had been told of. The ghost crew began to slowly push the decaying shark into the sea and Constance watched as they just sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

"What in the actual-" She began, utterly confused at what was going on but stopped as they threw another dead shark into the sea. Although just a few days ago she found the idea of ghosts to be ridiculous, she was beginning to accept all things supernatural and had an awful feeling about what was about to take place

She quickly moved the telescope in the direction of the rowboat and was shocked to see the woman getting undressed. She was wondering what was going on when the woman suddenly threw herself into the water and began to swim towards the shore. It was quite a distance and Constance didn't think swimming was the best option. She allowed herself to take in Sparrow's appearance but could only see his back. She could see the young man however, and admitted silently to herself that he had quite handsome features for a young man. But she moved the telescope back to the direction of the Silent Mary and observed her Captain. Even looking as manic as he did now, Armando was still attractive to her and she was determined to save him from himself.

"Look". Barbossa whispered to her suddenly and Constance put down her telescope to look at Captain Barbossa when three large dark shadows under the water caught her attention.

She couldn't believe it. The sharks which she believed had just floated to the bottom of the ocean were now very much alive. And swimming straight for the rowboat. Turning around quickly, she locked eyes with Officer Moss and flailed her arms in the direction of the sharks.

"How is this possible?" She asked, her mind already tired from being surprised.

"The Devil's Triangle came with many powers, you are currently observing one". Officer Moss replied whilst shrugging his shoulders. Constance just nodded her head, no longer questioning anything as no reply would be efficient. After all, the supernatural didn't usually have an explanation.

They could only watch as the sharks began to circle the small rowboat and she felt sorry for the two men who were now desperately trying to paddle away. She was pretty sure that they were rather screwed and she jumped when she watched a shark dive over the rowboat. It was a sight to behold as the sun shone straight through the carcass, highlighting its ribcage and missing organs. Barbossa and herself kept giving each other surprised looks and she was glad that she was with someone who was as equally as amazed at what was going on.

The battle between Jack Sparrow, the young man and the sharks was taking far longer than Constance had first thought. Despite being in a situation that seemed as though everything was against them, Sparrow was managing to stay alive.

"He is an awfully lucky fellow". She said to Barbossa who sneered in reply. She guessed that he had been on the receiving end of Jack's luck before and she was intrigued to why so many people disliked the Sparrow. For Captain Salazar, she could understand his hatred and to an extent she was also not a massive fan of Sparrow either since he took her Captain from her.

"You interest me Captain". She whispered suddenly, hoping that Officer Moss was too distracted watching the sharks. Barbossa raised an eyebrow in response and moved slightly closer to her, causing Constance to tighten her grip on the telescope. Just because she was interested in the Pirate Captain did not mean that she was not wary of him. He seemed like he had an adventurous life and had seen many things. The more she observed the Pirate Captain, the more she realised that she didn't want him to be on the receiving end of Captain Salazar.

"And what interests ya?" He grinned. Constance was about to ask about his life when out of the corner of her eye she saw movement from the Silent Mary.

Captain Salazar suddenly jumped from a staggering distance off the large vessel into the sea causing Constance to give a cry of alarm. She felt her heart stop as she watched Armando make contact with the water. But instead of going straight through the sea, she was in complete shock to see him standing on the water. Never in her life she had seen something so amazing and in her shock, she had dropped the telescope. Grabbing the railing on the ship, she pushed herself closer to the side and watched as the rest of the crew joined their Captain on the water. It was a sight to behold when the all raised their swords and charged at the small rowboat.

Constance came to the quick conclusion that there was no way that Sparrow and his luck would survive a small ghost army chasing him. The crew of the Silent Mary were ridiculously fast and Constance couldn't help but want to look away when they were shortening the distance between the boat and themselves. Sparrow was flailing and although she couldn't see his expression, she was sure it was matching her own startled one.

Captain Salazar was now only feet away from Sparrow and Constance didn't know what outcome she wanted. On one hand, if he caught Jack there was a chance that he would be satisfied with his revenge and become more concerned with breaking the curse. On the other hand, if he didn't catch Jack then his rage would be something that would rock the earth. But losing Jack would also allow them to find the trident and ultimately allow her to try and free her Captain from this damning curse. She had a feeling that even if Armando killed Jack, he would still be filled with so much rage. There was a fire burning through him and not even death seemed to stop his wrath. It was agonising to watch and she blinked away another wave of unshed tears.

Her thoughts were broken when Sparrow managed to use a rope to grab onto a shark and allow the boat to be propelled forwards. The boat was suddenly being pulled at some incredible speed towards the shore and Constance couldn't help but smile as she watched the insane Pirate suddenly save the young man who had been forced into the water. Had officer Moss not been there she would have cheered for them but she managed to keep that emotion at bay.

She quickly moved her hand down to grab the telescope she had dropped but when she looked down it was gone. Her eyes began to flicker over the deck but she jumped when a cold hand tapped her shoulder. Officer Moss was passing her the telescope with a small smile and she took it gently from his hands.

"Thank you".

"The Captain will not be happy". Moss replied as he gestured to the ghosts running on the water. She looked over to see that Jack had managed to let go of the shark and was being thrown onto the dry land.

"But… they have caught them?" Constance pointed out knowing that there was no way Sparrow would be able to out run the ghosts.

"We cannot stand on dry land. The curse had damned us to stay on the water for eternity". Moss replied sadly and she quickly glanced through the telescope to observe Captain Salazar and the crew stood on the edge of the shore. One of the crew which she had known of, suddenly ran forward and she flinched as he exploded into dust. Her heart stopped for a second and she had to hold in the desire to shout at Armando to get as far away from the land as possible. She could understand why her Captain hated Sparrow so much, especially as she now realised that they were ultimately condemned to the seas forever. But she would not allow hate to blind her as it had done the crew. If Jack was able to reach the trident, then he was her best chance at helping the crew of the Silent Mary.

She heard Barbossa give an irritated sigh and Constance glanced over at the frustrated Pirate Captain.

"Well, I'm buggered then". He snapped and Constance realised that Barbossa was going to be on the receiving end of the Armando's anger. She passed Barbossa his telescope back and placed her hand on his sleeve.

"I will do everything I can to stop him killing you Captain". She whispered, her eyes flickering to Moss who was watching the crew of the Silent Mary who were making their way back.

"But you have to help me find the trident". She finished. Barbossa gave her a strange look but to her surprise nodded his head.

"I give ye me word. But you will have to listen to me". Barbossa agreed and she watched as he managed to offer his hand in a rather secret way, managing to hide it behind his dirty eccentric coat. She shook his hand quickly and she took a deep breath realising that she had just made a deal with a notorious pirate and even worse, had betrayed her love. But she tried to convince herself it was not betrayal as she was doing this all in the name of love. She just hoped that Barbossa wouldn't betray her and use her against Captain Salazar, but for now she would not worry about that.

She had a rather angry dead Spaniard to worry about. 'Correction' she thought 'a very very angry Spaniard'.
