Lost At Sea

Jack sat quietly in the captains chambers - leaving the crewmen to themselves as they all tried to think of a way to get out of the mess they were in. Some hoped that perhaps Calypso was only out to seek revenge against Jack - sparing the rest of them; but the few people on the ship that actually cared for Jack - Gibbs, Elizabeth and Will - they wanted to find a way to spare Olivia's fate and bring the two back together. Even if this did indeed pass and they made it out alive - Jack wasn't going to be able to live with himself if Olivia was sent back to the depths.

He would surely die for that girl if need be.

"Jack? Can I speak with you?"

Elizabeth's sweet voice fell outside the door and he grunted at the thought - not really wanting to speak with anyone at the moment. "Aye," He muttered - watching as the door opened and the petite girl stepped inside. "Just wanted to check on you.. see if you've thought of anything?"

Jack shrugged his shoulders. They were all doomed - or perhaps only he, but still - there was no bringing Olivia back now - especially since this Sea Goddess had her soul captive. He should have let the poor girl rest in peace instead of ripping her from heaven to fulfill his own selfish heart. "What have I done, Elizabeth? I never meant for any of this to happen.." He croaked, the emotion in his voice thick and sorrowful. "I know Jack, as well as the crew and Olivia - I'm sure she knows you only wanted the best for her.." Elizabeth whispered, moving across the room to be beside her friend. "We will think of a way to overcome this..."

Captain Jack Sparrow wasn't so sure but he nodded his head and forced a weak smile as Elizabeth gave his hand a light squeeze and bid him farewell - making her way towards the room where Will was waiting. Jack closed his eyes for a moment - exhaustion taking over his being as he tried desperately to stay awake. He hadn't slept well in the months that followed Olivia's death but now his lifestyle had caught up with him and burning the candle at both ends just wasn't in his nature anymore. A yawn escaped him as he gave up and allowed sleep to take over.

"Wake up.." An angelic voice stirred Jack from his slumber as his eyes opened and he gasped in shock and fear at the vision before him. Olivia stood before him nearly glowing as he looked upon her beautiful face and felt his heartache. "Olivia.. please bring me no harm.. I.."

"Harm you?" She asked, confusion in her voice - as if she didn't know what he meant. "Harm you..." The question turned into more of a statement as Jack sat up quickly from the bed and took her cold hands in his. "Harm you like you've me for the past ten years, Jack? How could I ever harm you as badly as you've killed me inside.."

"Olivia, I never meant for anything to happen to you. If I could take back everything in my life - every adventure I've ever had I would just to be with you instead. I made a mistake when I left you all those years ago.."

Calypso, a goddess in her own time - powerful beyond any living creature in the seven seas, seemed to soften at his words for a moment. The unreadable glimmer in Olivia's eyes - the part that was controlling her dimmed a bit as she sat on the bed beside Jack. "I love you.." Olivia - the real Olivia - whispered softly, looking into his eyes as Calypso took over again - her eyes shining a bright gold color. "It's true, Jack Sparrow, this vessel loves you beyond her control or her knowing - if she was a smart woman she would have forgot about you long ago and perhaps spared her own life but it was no use.. you have a hold on her that no other man can touch.. but it's to late.."

"No.. please.." Jack grabbed Olivia's shoulders and held her tightly - fearing that this was the last time he would be able to touch her or anything else for that matter. If Calypso was going to kill him he prayed that she'd do it now and end his own grief. "Just give me a chance to show her.. I'll do anything for her.. anything.." He whispered, tears streaming down his face as he begged and pleaded for relief from his pain.

He was begging this thing to take his life but she remained still beside him.

"She won't allow it - her body was weak but her spirit is fighting and she will not allow me to do harm against you.."

"What? What does that mean?"

Olivia stood from the bed and sighed in defeat. "It means this vessel is useless to me.. she was wronged by you, Jack Sparrow but her love for you still shines through all of the hate and grief you've laid on her. She would never harm you..." The goddess growled at the thought - she seeks revenge against men who hurt women - but the vessel she had chosen - the woman that bared more pain and grief than any other she had ever known, didn't want to harm the man she loved. "Fool..." Calypso muttered, staring at Jack as her eyes turned from gold to red.

"Then what is to happen to Olivia?" Jack demanded, pushing himself up from the bed. "Will you return her to me since she is of no use to you?"

A sly smile formed on the woman's face.

"Fool.." She repeated softly, "This vessel is for my use.. to bring me out of the sea and seek vengeance for the wronged party. It is a shame she seeks no vengeance towards you but I can not bring her to you. Once I leave this vessel it will return to the depths in which it came."

"No.."

"Perhaps all wasn't a loss.." Calypso assured with a smirk - clasping her hands together as the room was flooded in light and then everything went dark - leaving Jack alone in his room. Calypso and Olivia were gone and he felt it deep within himself that neither would be returning. "Olivia, no.."
