Chapter 6

Jack satisfied and gestured them go get onboard the ship. "Weigh anchor! All hands! Stand by to make way!" He pulled out his compass glancing down seeing the needle moving steady. He moved his hand and the needle doesn't move.

"Ja-ack."

Jack turned looking at Barbossa who held up the ancient charts.

"Which way you going, Jack?"

Rose shook her head as she began to work slowly on the orders that Barbossa was barking.

"Trim that sail! Slack windward brace and sheet! Haul that pennant line!" Barbossa ordered out.

"Trim that sail! Slack windward brace and sheet! Haul that pennant line!" Jack yelled out even louder.

"What are you doing?"

"The Captain gives orders on a ship."

"The Captain is giving orders."

"My ship, that makes me Captain."

"They be my charts!"

"Stow it, the both of you, and that's an order! Understand?" Pintel shouted.

Rose let out a breath as she watched the men trying to outdo one another. She shook her head.

"Sorry! Just, with the Captain issue in doubt and all, thought I'd throw my name in for consideration - sorry."

"I would vote for you." Ragetti said looking over at Pintel.

Jack stepped up the rail pulling out his telescope.

Barbossa stepped up beside him smirking pulling out a much larger telescope.

PIRATES

Elizabeth went in search of Rose. She looked around seeing all the busy crew members that were busy working on the ship. She then walked towards the other side of the ship to notice her sister looking out over the stilled seas that they were on. Elizabeth slowly walked up to Rose. "Rose…"

Rose clenched her hands tightly at her sides turning her attention to Elizabeth. "Why didn't you say something?" She said softly. "About Jack being left by you to deal with the doom of the Kraken?"

"I didn't want to bother you with it…"

Rose looked at her younger sister blankly.

"No one else needed to handle the burden of Jack being taken."

"Elizabeth…" She let out a breath shaking her head lightly. "This isn't something to take lightly. You could've told Will or me about this…"

"You are already dealing with so much with James…"

Rose took a sharp breath through her teeth at the mention of James. "James wouldn't give the heart to Beckett."

"You have to think that he has… He's a man wanting to reclaim everything to make a better life for you."

Rose shook her head lightly. "I just want a life with him. Nothing more nothing less. He knew that before he did take off with the chest… He couldn't have done this knowing how much Beckett…" She shuddered at the thought. She couldn't believe that James had done this. Beckett had to have another way of getting the heart and that was what she was going to believe.

"I'm sorry…"

"Elizabeth how am I to trust you? Hell, how is Will to trust you? You did this thinking it was the right thing and we're in a mess now…" She shook her head.

"I'll be making it up for the rest of my life doing this to Jack."

Rose took a breath simply looking back out to the sea with tear-filled eyes. She could only hope that they wouldn't have to handle anything else.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This is the end of Chapter 6. I know that this is a little short, which I do apologize for. But I did try my best to make this is as long as I could to make sure that it was long enough, but sadly it didn't go according to plan. But I did try my best. Please leave a review and let me know what you think of this chapter. I will try to update you soon with the next chapter. Until next time.
