When Charles awoke the next morning,he realized Will hadn't slept on
the crew's quarters again. He sat on his narrow bed,scratched his eyes.
He was depressed. And depression to him was a sign of weakness.
He didn't want to feel weak.
He had to do something about Will and Jack. He couldn't stand to see them
together anymore. And the worst - know that /he/ himself,of all people,
had helped them stay together!
He had /helped/ them!
Charles felt something dying inside of him. His joy. His happiness. He
had spent four years dreaming about Will - four long years. And now his
best friend was dating -or fucking,it didn't matter- a guy he had just
met.
A guy who was /more beautiful/ than Charles. Even Charles knew Jack
Sparrow was such a beauty. He hated the captain,but couldn't deny the
truth.
And Will seemed to be in love with Jack.
Charles stood up from the bed. They would be getting to the Isla de Muerta
soon. He had to refine his plans.
---
Will awoke in the captain's cabin. He felt Jack's legs intertwined with
his and smiled with closed eyes. Will reached down a hand and touched
one of Jack's thighs,waking him. The captain smiled at his lover,sleepily
but really happy that Will was with him again. The boy had slept too
many days on the crew's quarters,in Jack's opinion.
Jack stood there,lying with Will in his arms,and remembered something.
As soon as Will was fully awake,the captain said:
"We're reaching the Isla de Muerta today,love."
"I know." Will murmured into Jack's shoulder.
"And I haven't told you about the medallion yet."
Will sighed. He wasn't really sure if he wanted to hear that. But as he
felt Jack thought he needed to know,Will just nodded his head. Jack
started:
"When you were younger,your father sent you this medallion so that he
wouldn't be cursed. He knew you wouldn't be cursed either because you
weren't the one who stole it."
Will nodded. Asked:
"What about this curse,Jack?"
"Well,it's a long story,Will. Barbossa and his crew of miscreants found
a stone chest who had pieces of Aztec gold. It is in the Isla de Muerta,and
Barbossa wanted to take it all. But what he and the crew didn't know was
that the gold was cursed. If anyone took any of the pieces,they would
turn into living skeletons."
"What?!" Will asked,scared.
"Skeletons." Jack nodded. "They would not feel any physical touch,they
could not eat,and nothing would defeat them."
"Let me see if I understood." Will said. "Barbossa and his crew stole
the pieces of the gold and turned into living skeletons."
"That's it."
"And nothing can defeat them."
"Aye."
"So /how/ are we going to defeat them Jack? Unless you mean not to. Get
the Pearl without making them any harm."
"That's why I needed you,Will."
"Why?" Will frowned.
"The curse will only be broken if all of the pieces of the gold are back
into the chest. With the blood from the one who stole it." Jack sighed.
"That's why I needed you to come with me. Barbossa and the crew have
already restored the pieces they stole. Only one piece is missing now."
Jack said while caressing the medallion Will wore.
"You...said something about...blood?" Will said,unsurely.
"No worries, love, it's just a drop. You put it on the medallion,give it
back to the chest and the curse will be broken."
"And my blood is needed." Will said,seriously. "Because this piece" Will
touched his medallion "was my father's steal. My father's blood is needed,
but as he's dead my blood will do it."
"Aye,Will."
Will was deep in thought. And he was worried. After some moments of
silence,Jack spoke:
"I neou tou to know, Will, that it can turn dangerous. Barbossa can't be
defeated for now. He's immortal. And if he knows he needs your blood..."
Will was positively scared now. Jack took the boy's hands on his and
said:
"Nobody can know it,Will. Tell nobody. Only me,Anna and Gibbs know it.
The crew know you're the child of Bootstrap Bill,but they don't know you
have the last piece of the gold and that your blood is needed to break
the curse."
Will sighed. Asked:
"Why exactly do you want to break the curse Jack?"
"So I can get my ship back and kill my enemy for good."
"So I was right." Will shifted from Jack's embrace. Jack frowned and
looked at him:
"What's wrong, love?"
Will's voice was trembling:
"You...you...brought me here.../knowing/ it would be more dangerous to
me than to any other person."
"Will,I'm here for you! I'm here to protect you! I won't let anything
happen to you. I told you this from the beginning!"
"How can I trust you now,Jack? You let me come here without knowing about
it all! Had I know it,I wouldn't have come! But no...you wanted me to
come and help you fulfill your selfish needs!"
"Will..." Jack was astonished. "Will,love...it's not like this...listen
to me...I..."
"Of course it is." Will cut him. "You only care about your ship. You
didn't care about my safety. You didn't ask me if I wanted to come under
these conditions. What if Barbossa takes us? What is he doing to me?!",
Will yelled at Jack.
"I won't let him take you Will...he will have to kill me first."
Will shook his head.
"You don't love me one bit. You're with me only to fulfill your sexual
needs too. You're using me...even my feelings for you are being used
against me and just for your sake."
Jack was stunned. He would never expect this. To him,it was clear that
he loved Will with all his being. He really wanted to protect him and
was worried about him from the beginning. But Will took it all wrong,
because he was really scared now.
Jack didn't know what to say. He fell silent. No words could describe
what he wanted to say to Will,so he couldn't say a thing.
Will got up. Said:
"And I thought you cared about me. Forget me,Jack."
"Will...!" Jack tried to go after him,but the boy slammed the door and
left.
----
Will ran to the deck and found no one was there yet. It was early in the
morning. He sat next to the railing and cried. His face became soon wet
with tears.
So Jack wanted him to come because of it. Because he needed his blood.
Because he needed him,and didn't give a damn if Barbossa would take him.
Barbossa was the bad guy - Will had listened to all those stories when
he was a child. Barbossa marooned Jack Sparrow on an island,Barbossa
killed people even if they were innocent...so what would Barbossa do
with him if they were caught?
Trying to think about what he could do,Will felt he wanted to leave. He
didn't want to look at Jack's face anymore. Will hated him. Right?
Will sighed. As though he wanted to convince himself he hated Jack,he
couldn't. He was in love with Jack. He /loved/ him. All those nights they
had spent together at Jack's cabin couldn't get out of Will's mind that
easily. The way Jack caressed his body,softly,sweetly...the way he was
so understanding when Will said he wanted to go slow. He hadn't told
Jack he was a virgin yet,but was sure Jack knew it by now. And the
captain didn't care. He just wanted to be with Will. Or that was what
Will thought,before he found out why Jack needed him to go to the Isla
de Muerta.
What if Jack only wanted him to mess about? When the trip was over,he
would leave and Will would be sad as hell.
Will tried to push those thoughts away. He stood up and was going to the
crew's quarters. But before he could get there,he remembered that almost
all the crew was looking at him as if he was a spoiled child. Besides,
there was Charles,who always said poisoned words at him. No,he didn't
really want to deal with that,not when he was so sad because he thought
Jack had betrayed him. So,Will went to the ship's kitchen and tried to
swallow the breakfast and forget about his problems.
----
The day passed slowly. Will was silent almost all the time. He noticed
the crew was up to something and that they were whispering to one another,
except for Tracy and Phil,who were the only pirates and were working hard
on the ship as usual. Anna and Gibbs were working hard as well,and Jack
was at the helm almost all day. He looked really sad and Will had heard
him sighing more than once. Sometimes,Will caught Jack staring at him
with sadness in his eyes and his heart twitched but he wouldn't talk to
Jack. He was really disappointed and hurt.
It was late at night when they reached the Isla de Muerta. Jack was at
the helm and called Gibbs:
"Make sure that the crew is ready,we'll be dropping anchor soon."
Gibbs nodded and went to the crew's quarters. Jack looked at the dark
sky. He just wished Will forgave him. He was feeling sad and,most of all,
really guilty to have brought Will without him knowing the truth. Jack
knew Will had the right to be angry at him. And Jack was angry at himself
too.
Jack was so lost on his thoughts that didn't even realized Gibbs was
standing beside him,a serious look on his face.
"What's the matter?" Jack asked when he finally noticed Gibbs was there.
"The crew." Gibbs said,still stunned. "They're leaving."
"What?!" Jack asked astonished.
"It's all that boy Charles' doing. He made the crew think Wwas was being
spoiled. Now the crew is feeling betrayed. And they said they would leave."
Jack looked at Gibbs blankly. He didn't know what to say. He just knew
he wouldn't let the crew leave on this ship. Much less the Pearl,that
Jack had already seen docked on the island.
Surprising Gibbs and himself,Jack just spoke:
"Let them go."
"But J.." .."
"Let them go,Gibbs. Or do you want to fight against Barbossa with a crew
you don't trust?"
"We're going to be defeated."
Jack thought for a while and then said:
"Is there /someone/ who's staying? There are pirates here,for God's sake!
Do they really want to hear they have no honour?"
"Well,there are those two pirates...the woman and that one called Phil.
They're staying with us. We are six."
"Six?", Jack said. He was counting five people on his head.
"Aye. You,me,Anna,Will,and those two pirates."
Jack's heart skipped a beat. "Will?"
"He's staying. He told me so. He said he couldn't leave. Not now."
Jack felt some of his joy coming back to him. Will would stay by his side.
Even though he knew it was dangerous to him.
"The boy said you both had an...argument..."
"We did." Jack nodded sadly.
"But he's staying Jack. He's not leaving you now. That was what he told
me."
"Thanks,mate." Jack said. He was so enraged that the crew would leave
and even angrier with Charles. If he wasn't a good man at all,he himself
would throw that lad from the ship this time.
----
Some hours before,Will had finally gone to the crew's quarters and was
really surprised to know the crew had packed.
"Why is that? Why have you already packed?" Will asked to a crewmember
who didn't act /so/ strangely to him.
"We're leaving,boy."
"What?!"
"They are /leaving/ William." Tracy showed up and put her hands on Will's
shoulders. "Chs mas made their minds against you and the captain."
Will looked at Tracy blankly. Charles showed up at this moment and said:
"Come with us,Will. I know you and your captain had an argument. I heard
you yelling at him in the morning. And I noticed you both didn't say a
word to one another all day."
Will was really mad at Charles and got even madder when his ex-friend
said he had had an argument with Jack in front of all the crew. He lost
all the patience he had left. Yelled:
"It's none of your business,Charles! You don't have the right to babble
about my life to people I don't know."
"I'm just saying you should leave with us...you are not interested in the
prize...you fought the captain...so why staying? He will be defeated.
No one is going to stay. Do you really want to risk your life?"
Will couldn't understand when Charles had become so poisonous. Had he
always been like this? Will started wondering if he really knew Charles.
"You are a sneak!",Will spat and Charles just shrugged.
"I'm going to stay,Will.", Tracy said. "And Phil is staying too. Besides,
Annamaria and Gibbs won't leave Jack's side."
Will looked at the pirate woman beside him. And said: "I'm staying as
well,because I'm not a betrayer. Besides," Will looked directly at Charles'
eyes: "I /love/ Jack and I won't leave him now."
Charles narrowed his eyes. Said:
"Do you love him enough to risk your life?"
"I don't know the answer to your question still." Will said. "But I will
know it soon enough. The only thing I know is that it's better to stay
here than be beside you for one more moon aon a ship."
Charles' face turned into a mask of anger. But he hid it and said nothing.
"Come,William. We've been here long enough." Tracy and Will left the
crew's quarters,glaring at the betrayers.
----
"So you are leaving." Jack stated,after they docked at the Isla de Muerta.
He knew they would leave.
"Aye." was the reply.
"Not on this ship." Jack said. Annamaria and Gibbs had their guns pointed
to the crew. "If you try and take it,you'll all be dead soon." Tracy and
Phil had no guns,so as the rest of the crew hadn't either. The only ones
who had guns were Jack,Anna and Gibbs so even they being only six they
could threaten the rest of the crew who were unarmed.
While they were arguing,Will was absent-mindedly looking at the sky. He
was worried,sure. Be he also knew he was doing the right thing.
He still loved Jack. He wanted to stay by his side.
He hated Charles more than anything. He didn't even deserve his pity.
When Will awoke from the dreamy state he was,he realized the crew had
gone to the other side of the island. There was a ship there. It had
probably been commandeered by Barbossa and his crew. Jack watched while
his ex-crew ran to the unknown ship and took them,sailing fastly away.
He felt like he was alone,even though the people who meant most to him
were by his side. But he felt betrayed and pessimistic now. How the hell
could he fight Barbossa with only five companions?
Jack gave a hard thought to it. And he decided he couldn't fight Barbossa
with five men (and women). He would have to decide what to do about
Tracy and Phil - he had promised a treasure to them if they came,after
all - but that would be easy. He could give them some money,and everything
would be fine.
He looked at Will. And realized his lover's life meant more to him than
getting his ship back. His friends' lives meant more to him. Jack valued
human lives more than ships. Will had been mistaken. But Jack couldn't
blame him.
Though Gibbs,Anna and Will were great fighters,they just couldn't fight
Barbossa and his crew. They were only six,for God's sake! They would
have to be really lucky not to be harmed and besides there was the Pearl
to get back. If they couldn't take it from Barbossa,all those fights
would be pointless.
"Captain." he heard Phil's voice. "I'm sorry to interrupt your thoughts,
but I think we should get out of here. It's too risky. If we are going
to surprise them,I suggest we talk on a more hidden place."
Jack noticed it was time to tell what he had decided. So he said:
"We're not fighting them."
"What?!" Tracy asked.
"We're too few. We're going to be defeated. It would be crazy to fight
them like this." if Jack could tell in words how angry he was at Charles,
no words would be enough to express his hatred.
Tracy fell silent. She knew Jack was right. "What are we going to do now,
Captain?"
"Well. I think Phil is right. We have to hide while we're here. It's late
and I'm sure you all worked hard all day. We could drop anchor on another
island near here and get some sleep. Then we go back to Tortuga."
Tracy nodded and all of them agreed. They knew it would be crazy to stay
and fight Barbossa and his crew of living skeletons. Besides they were
just six people,Barbossa and his crew couldn't even die while the curse
wasn't broken! It was really madness to try to fight them.
Jack and his friends climbed up onto the ship and left. They stopped at
an island nearby. Jack told them to sleep and was going to his cabin
when he saw Will looking at him.
They stared at one another silently. Jack approached him:
"I'm really happy you stayed,Will."
Will just nodded,not really sure of what to say. He was very hurt. Jack
tried to touch him,but Will flinched.
"I'm sorry." Jack said,putting his hand away. "I think we need to talk,
Will."
"I don't want to talk." Will turned around and was leaving to the crew's
quarters but Jack took him into his arms and held him.
Will let himself be held,but didn't want to talk to Jack. He loved the
man,he was sure of that,but couldn't forget what had happened in the
morning.
"Sleep with me." Jack asked,humbly. "I love ye,Will. You know that. You've
/felt/ it."
"It's easy now to say that you love me. If you really cared about me,you
would have told me the truth!"
"It's over now,Will." Jack said,sadly. "You're not going to be harmed.
We're going back to Tortuga. Why can't you forgive me?" Jack pleaded,
his eyes watering. Will felt himself melting a bit,but was still hurt.
He said:
"I'm sorry Jack. I can't. Not now." and he left to the crew's quarters,
glad to know only Tracy and Phil would be there. He was sick and tired
of all the crew looking at him as if he was the cause of Hell itself.
Jack sighed. A tear fell freely by his cheek. He went to his cabin and
opened a bottle of rum.
After having drunken four bottles,he went to sleep. He curled against
himself,trying to get some comfort,but he knew it wouldn't come while
he and Will didn't talk. He grabbed the sheets and fell into an uneasy
sleep.
Will couldn't sleep almost all night.
----
At the Isla de Muerta,a tall slim figure sneaked from a darkened corner
and walked. The man walked for more than thirty minutes before he got
to the entrance of a cave. He saw the boats by the left bank of the small
river. Took one of them and got into the cave.
As soon as he arrived on the inside of the cave,he heard talking. The
people talked in a weird way - pirates' talking,the man smiled to himself.
The malkealked slowly,as if not to bother the pirates. He spotted one
of them a little far from the others - he seemed to be looking for
something between the treasure. The man who was not a pirate smiled again.
Those pirates who only cared about treasure! He was sure that pirate
was at the Isla de Muerta for quite some time,but still he looked for
treasure.
The tall man approached the pirate and said:
"Excuse me,sir."
The pirate looked at him weirdly. He said:
"Where did ye come from,stranger?" and so he shouted: "Men!! We have a
stranger here!!"
"Wait!" the man said desperately. "I just want to talk to your Captain!"
But the other pirates had already gathered amongst them and were pointing
their swords and guns to the man.
"Who are ye? What are ye doing here?" the one called Twigg asked.
"And speak soon!" Koehler added.
"I invoke the right of parley!" the man said. "I want to talk to your
Captain."
Twigg and Koehler grumbled,but knew they would have to keep to the Code.
Pintel went to get Barbossa,who was half asleep at his cabin on the Pearl.
Barbossa showed up soon,yawning sleepily.
"This better be important,stranger." the Captain of the Black Pearl said
"No one disturbs my sleep if there's not an important reason."
"I assure you it is,Captain Barbossa. Could I talk to you alone?"
"There aren't a thing my men can't know. Speak here and speak quickly."
"Well sir..." the man began. "I wanted to make a proposition to you."
"Speak." Barbossa said.
"I can tell you where is a person who you thought were long dead. But I
need something in exchange."
"And who is this person,mate?"
The man sighed.
"It's Jack Sparrow,sir."
All the pirates muttered things to themselves. But wasn't Sparrow dead?
Who was that stranger? And what would he have to do with their ex-Captain?
"But...Jack Sparrow is supposed to be dead!" Barbossa said. "You are
lying!"
"Come see with your own eyes,Captain. I know where he is and I will take
you there if I have something in exchange."
"Well,men...what do you think?" Barbossa asked.
The men were really suspicious that the stranger was lying,but if it was
true they would want to kill Sparrow for good now.
"We have to check if it's true!" Pintel said.
Barbossa nodded. He spoke:
"No deal will be made until we are sure if you're telling the truth.
After we get Sparrow,we make the deal. You have my word. Pirate's honour."
"Agreed,sir." the man smiled. "But...I think I should tell you what I
want before you go and get Sparrow. What if you don't want to make the
deal after I say where Sparrow is?"
"I gave you my word,mate!" Barbossa said angrily and the man frowned,
a little intimidated. "Clearly yer not a pirate,boy. You don't know
we have an honour. But as I'm feeling /good/ today..." Barbossa said
and the pirates laughed. "I'm going to let you tell me what is it that
you want."
"Thanks sir. Well." the man cleared his throat. "Sparrow has a lover.
His name is Will Turner. I will tell you where Sparrow and his friends
are if you just leave his lover for me. I want to take him as mine and
I don't want you to kill him at any time."
The man was speaking but wasn't looking at Barbossa's face. When he did
so,he noticed Barbossa's eyes had widened and he asked:
"Did you say Will /Turner/?"
"Yes sir." the man frowned. "That's his name."
"And he's eighteen."
"Yes sir." the man was confused.
"So...are you jealous or something?" Barbossa laughed. "Men...I think we
have a an unrequited lover here...ha...Sparrow...always the conqueror."
The man grumbled to himself but kept a composed face.
"Men!" Barbossa said: "Lady luck is at our side today! Get the boats!
I'm just finishing business here!"
Barbossa and the stranger watched as Barbossa's crew were getting to the
boats waiting only for an order of the Captain for them to leave. So,
Barbossa said:
"We'll make the deal as soon as we find if you're speaking the truth."
"No harm to the boy?"
"No harm." Barbossa agreed and they shook their hands.
"So,do we make the deal later,Mr...?" Barbossa frowned.
"Lewis,sir. Charles Lewis. We make the deal later." Charles nodded and
went with Barbossa to the boats.
