"Forever Beloved " PART 3
Captain of the Flying Dutchman waited patiently for the continutaion of the story, but Elizabeth seemed to be in a different world now, her glassy orbs still fixed on the flickering fire at her feet.
„And?” he finally dared to ask.
„Oh!” she exclaimed, brought out of her reverie. "Well..." she started off visibly confused and brushed away the honey colour streak of her hair from her slightly flushed cheek. „Jack took the treasure along and set course to the spring of eternal youth.”
„You don't mean it, Elizabeth. He loaded the bounty onto that...shell?”
„He actually did.”
„It wasn't all too valuable, then.” he chuckled.
„Oh, Jack claimed the contrary. He was bragging around it was his most precious treasure, the dearest thing he had ever possessed.”
„Strange...But Jack was never a stranger to strangeness, after all.”
„I'm not going to argue that he was!” she giggled, amused.
„Correct me if I'm wrong. Was it not the Pearl that he always loved most?”
„He did. Before...”
„So he left the Pearl to Barbossa, not even bothering to fight for her? That doesn't sound like him.”
„He did not have to do a thing. The traitorous crewmen marooned Barbossa after finding out what was left of Hector's map that promised them immortality. The Pearl was docked in Tortuga waiting for its only true captain and indeed he soon appeared with the much desired piece of the map--”
„And the treasure!" Will chimmed in. "I guess he wasn't eager to share it with those pestilent bastards?”
„Oh, God forbid!” she flinched „The treasure was only his and always will.”
„Did he find the magical spring?”
„And why do you think you were never called to take care of the Pearl's crewmen?” she smiled in response.
„Mum! Have ye seen Hector? I want to shoot somethin'!” Her son was back. She hoped that troubles were not back with him.
„Hector?! Why didn't you warn me that he's around? I'll kill the blackguard! I owe that to Jack!” yelled Will and pulled his sword from the sheath.
“No! Will, you got this all wrong! Jackie is looking for the monkey. Please sit down and relax.”
His confused look encouraged her to explain the matter. He was absent for ten good years af ter all. “We renamed Barbossa's capuchin. Too many Jacks...”
“Oh... But isn't his place with that mouth full of rotten teeth, inseparable as they are?”
“Were. Have been. Until Barbossa was mutinied upon and set off on a barren spit of land. To everyone's great surprise, his beloved pet or “daddy's boy” as he used to call him, refused to follow his master and remained on the Pearl. Later on, Jackie got Hector as a gift. All in all, it turned out to be a useful present. Thanks to the monkey, Jackie became a master in shooting to a moving target. I also like playing with Hector whenever I get furious. Nothing calms down the frayed nerves of the Pirate King than a shooting session with our pet.”
Young Jack approached them wearily, dropping on the sand beside his mother with a loud, disappointed sigh.
“Haven't found him, I guess?” he heard his mother ask.
“No, mum. And I'm so bored... How the hell am I supposed to be the captain when I have no one to be me crew?”
“Would you like to captain a ship when you grow up?” William asked with unhidden interest.
“Of course I would! A pirate ship. Just like daddy's--” Jackie bit his tongue before glancing with fear at his mum. If looks could kill, he would be dead already, he thought.
“ Son, it's wonderful to hear that you wish to follow my footsteps. But remember, that I am a captain of a ship, but it's not a pirate vessel. I serve with my father aboard the Flying Dutchman. I'm a man of great honour and uncommon bravery. Not some... cowardly pirate.” he spat out.
Elizabeth, the ruling Pirate King wasn't flattered by his remark, but chose not to respond. An argument wouldn't change a thing. She knew Will all too well.
“Ah, so you followed your father's footsteps, eh?” asked the young lad with enthusiasm.
Hearing this, Will who just took another sip of juice began choking once again. Elizabeth shook her head angrily after another of her sons verbal surprises. She tried to relieve William's coughing fit by patting his back. Her son was of course gone once again, and she was wondering if it was some kind of special talent that Jackie possessed - dissolving in the air right after he caused a problem.
After barely two minutes shots were heard from the distance and William jumped in alarm to his feet, automatically reaching for his sword.
“The enemy is approaching! We need to stand up and fight! Till the last drop of-”
“Will! Cool down, would you? This is just Jack!”
“What..?"
“It's Jack playing with Hector! Just turn back and see for yourself.”
Indeed he could make out the silhouette of young Jack running in a very special way, his hands waving up in the air. He was pursuing the squeeking monkey that had obviously stolen the boy's hat.
“You know Elizabeth, I'm seeing our son for the first time in my life and yet he seems so familiar to me. As if I had known him for years!”
The heartless captain smiled looking at the playful boy, but soon his features saddened. The last sunrays were reminding him that his time on land was over.
“I must go now. The night will soon fall...”
She nodded with understanding.
“I'll say goodbye to Jack...”
Both of them moved towards the shoreline where Jack was now wrestling with the undead monkey, and they were feasting their eyes with the amusing view.
“Come here my son! Let me hug you.” he embraced the lad and then Elizabeth. “I need to go now my boy, but don't worry. Your father is coming again in just 10 years.”
Jack furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “Mum said in 10 days!”
“Jack!” his mother barked warningly, curling her hands into fists.
“Oops! Me messed things up again!” he giggled nervously. “Slap me trice and hand me to me mama...”
Elizabeth thanked God that William didn't suspect anything, as he was entering his dinghy in haste. He waved them one last time from his life boat and using all the strength of his arms he rowed as fast as he could to get aboard before the green lightning would cross the sky.
„Can I go and bring them back now?!
„Of course you can, Jackie. They should come back home immediately. It' s getting dark.”
„What 'bout me? Can I stay overnight with grandpa and play guitar? Johnny and Chris must have been playing it the whole day. And listening to his magnificent stories! And sword fighting!”
„Not today, honey. But daddy is arriving soon, and when he's back, all the three of you may have fun with dear old Teague up till dawn. I promise!” said Elizabeth with a mysterious smile.
„That will be fun!”
“As always, I guess.”
“By the way, do you know what daddy's bringing for me as my birthday gift?”
“I can't tell what it is, Jack.”
“A bottle of finest spiced rum?” he guessed handing Elizabeth her empty hip flask and the unsealed bottle that William left behind. She rolled her eyes wondering why Jackie is attracted to rum like a moth to the light.
“Just joking! Maybe I'll finally get a real steel sword,eh?” asked the boy, unsheating his wooden sword and swiping it around him with grace of a fencing master.
“I can't tell for a reason, Jackie. I have no idea what your father is planning to give you this time. You will need to wait and see. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Now go and bring your brothers home. And remind grandpa about the rum. Tell him it's urgent. We only have this one bottle left.” She looked at it wondering how on Earth Will could refuse the finest liquor that he's ever been offered.
„No problem, mum!”
William stood high on the railing of his ship, using his telescope to observe the Shipwreck beach. In a few moments the Dutchman will submerge and he will not see Elizabeth and his son for the next ten years. With pride filling his heart he watched the silhouette of the little Jack run along the shore. The boy was running in a very specific way indeed...
„My son,” he thought, emotion showing in his eyes „As if I've known you for years...”
The sky was suddenly torn apart by a green flash and the Flying Dutchman disappeared from the sea surface as if by the touch of a fairy's magic wand.
Elizabeth was smiling on her way back home. ”Just ten more days...” she sighed as a devilish smirk appeared on her face. Little did she know that a pair of watchful eyes traced her every step as she was climbing up the hill. She did not see the dark figure hiding in the bushes, creeping towards her house and eventually sneaking into it...
