Chapter Two
Chapter Two
Jack opened one eye. Pain hit him hard. He closed that one eye, and opened the other. Pain hit him again. So, he decided to open them both at the same time and get it over with. He took a deep breath, snapped them open, and yelp in pain. His hand immediately went and covered his eyes, allowing them to focus. He carefully removed his hand and looked around. He was alive! Alive! Now... where was he? Jack slowly sat up, feeling stiff, and placed his feet on a dirt floor. He saw that there were a couple of beds, a very shoddy looking medicine cabin, and his effects laying on the table.
"Ah!" he said, and went to get up, but buckled and fell to the floor with a loud thump! Jack managed to fall flat on his face, and he saw that they were two feet, not his own, right near his head. The boots that were on these feet were polished, and Jack followed the feet up to see a relatively short, yet fearsome man. Jack gulped and looked up at the man. "Oh..." Jack said, and grunted as he tried to sit up. "Hello, there, mate." Jack stumbled and fell back down on the floor. "Could you help a poor man out?"
The man, who turned out to be a general, grabbed Jack underneath his shoulders and lifted him up and back onto the bed as if he was weighed as a piece of paper. The general then straightened up and looked Jack up and down.
"You need rest." the general proclaimed.
"Ah! You speaks me language, I'm pleased." Jack said, folding his arms over his chest. "And thank ye, but I feel rested enough, now if you'll excuse me..." Jack attempted to get up, but the pain in his back, arms, and legs struck him back down once again. "... I think I'll stay right here for a while."
"Sailor Hawk." The general said, but was given a look of confusion.
"That's Captain Hawk- er, Sparrow. Jack Sparrow, actually." he felt the blade of a dagger settle underneath his chin. "Or, Jackie, if ye like. Just please don't slit me. I already almost died this month." Jack calmly pushed the blade away.
"Sparrow. I heard about you from before- when I was traveling back from China." The General put his dagger back. "Where be your Black Pearl?"
Jack opened his mouth to say something, but found that he couldn't speak. Flashes of the Pearl came back into his mind... the crew... her... did it really just happened? It felt like Jack was dreaming about it all. He cleared his throat. "Unfortunately, she didn't escape a horrible fate." he looked up at the general. "Sea beastie. Nasty one, too. I'm glad I'm alive." he said, and moved his arm, wincing in pain.
"You have nowhere to go?" The general asked.
"At the moment, no, 'cause I'm stuck in this here bed." Jack answered, gently patting the cot he was on.
"Stay with me."
Jack felt a little weirded out. "A truly uncomfortin notion. I don't even know yer name, mate, and I'm sorry, I don't..." Jack made a face. "...shiver those timbers."
"Join my army." The General said, then walked around to the other side of Jack's cot. "And I am General Sao Teng."
"Well, Sao, I thank ye fer the offer, but I really need to leave as soon as I get-" Jack said, pointing at the door, but froze when Sao Teng brought out his sword, pointing it at Jack's chest.
"You either leave this island marching, or leave floating in a casket. Your choice." General Teng said, telling Jack his only two choices.
"The Army or... or the locker, huh?" Jack asked, feeling a little nervous about the General's sword, which looked like it was freshly sharpened, pointing towards his heart. "You give me no choice." he looked up at General Teng. "Alright, I'll join yer little toy soldiers."
The blade left his chest and was put back into it's sheath. The General shook Jack's hand and quietly left the room. Jack watched him leave, and waited a few minutes to see if anyone was coming.
"Time to leave?" he asked himself and nodded. "Time to leave."
With that, he jumped out of bed, feeling fine. He was just putting on a show for that General- Jack knew he was there. Jack grabbed his effects (and his pants... he found that he wasn't wearing any) and climbed out one of the windows, attempting to escape into the night. His plan was succeeding, until he ran right into General Sao Teng.
(1)(2)(3)
Will walked up to the main deck of the ship he heard Elizabeth call 'The Wreck', but in reality, it was called Search. He made his way over to the helm, where Mr. Gibbs had taken over so Captian Barbossa could get some rest, and Mr. Gibbs began their lesson.
"It's very easy, Mr Turner." Mr. Gibbs said "Just grab the wheel and go." With that, Gibbs left Will alone with the helm and walked away.
Will became so confused, and was afraid that he was going the wrong way, but his head cleared when he saw an angel walk on board. That angel was Elizabeth, and he thanked the stars that she did not know he was up there, watching her. He saw that she was talking, to no one in particular, looking out into sea.
(1)(2)(3)
Elizabeth sighed. "I know you are out there. I don't feel like your dead, Jack. So why are you hiding? Is it me? If it is, then don't be angry. I might never get to tell this to your face, but... I am sorry. I guess it really doesn't amount to much, huh?" Elizabeth gave a nervous chuckle. "You know, my father use to tell me stories about you when I was a child. Said how when you were only 15 you sacked a port in England, where the Queen was staying, and you managed to get away with a pair of her underwear. I also heard that you were cold, mean, somewhat childish and really dumb, but I don't see where they would get that from." she smiled. "People also said that you were grotesque, but I don't see that either, if you don't mind me saying." she sighed again. Elizabeth was tired of beating around the bush. And she knew Will could hear her, she saw him up at the helm. "I miss you, Jack. And I guess... that..." she sniffed back tears. "I love you, too."
Elizabeth shuffled in her spot, uncomfortably, looking out at the sea for one last time that night, and turned around to stroll back to her room, but she saw out of the corner of her eye that William was watching her go sadly. But, at this point, they both knew that their romantic relationship was over, so maybe it was time to face facts:
Wiiliam Turner, Will said to himself, I think you just lost your love to Jack Sparrow.
