Siren's song (5th/ final book)

Ponce de Leon

  For the remainder of the walk Jack and Jason stayed right by my side. Never once did one leave. Both of them would continuously whisper into my ear, whether it be sweet nothings or simple remarks it didn't matter. Sometimes they would even do it to spite the other. At first I found this little squabble between the two to be amusing.

The way Jack would be jealous when Jason naturally held my hand like he had been used to would make me giggle. But now that had taken its course, and it was now just annoying beyond belief. It's as if I was the last scrap of food among starved men.

  I couldn't get even a second of silence as we neared our destination. And then even when I looked over at Grayson with a scowl for not helping me, he simply only angered me more by laughing.

I swear I might actually end up killing one of them, or maybe even both. That would solve my problem quite nicely, wouldn't it?

Finally as I tried to ignore the whispers of my past two lovers, I saw something familiar. A single, green stripe along a big stone. I didn't even try to hide back a smile when I saw it.

Finally.

After only a few steps more I heard Blackbeard's voice yell " Holt!".

  I can't tell you how fast my feet worked as I pushed through the crowd to see the great cliff that led to a great fall. I felt excitement shock throughout my body as I gazed that the familiar cliff and the waters below. 
  As I basked in the sunlight and felt the slight mist of water on my face, I totally forgot of those behind me. My ears only tuned into the conversation after hearing Angelica yell.

  "If we go around we'll get off track! It'll take to long."

  "Well by all means you go ahead, love." I hear Jack's cheeky voice, and I know Angelica is probably fuming this very minute.

  "Fine, I will."

  I turn my head at the sound of a jingle and see Angelica hand her things over to a Quarter master. I raised my eyebrow as I saw her get in a running position.

We'll look who's brave.

  Sadly though the poor girls efforts were spoiled by her father. His arm wrapped around her front and pulled her back. Effortlessly she moved back to look at her father with confusion. Blackbeard didn't spare her glance, and simply looks to Jack.

  "You will go."

  Jack looked at him as if he had just spoken in tongues. He placed his hand to his ear, gesturing that he should repeat himself, because he must have heard wrong. I scoffed at his behavior.

  "You'll be fine Jack. I've done it before so can you." I stated nonchalantly looking at Jack with my 'come on now' expression.

  "Well that's bloody easy for you to say darling. You're a goddess, or ...part goddess."

  By the look of Jack's face he seemed to have confused himself. Of course, when doesn't he not?

  I roll my eyes as I approached him. "Oh don't be a coward now Sparrow. This is after all the one time we actually ask for your recklessness."

  Jack smiles at me. "Ahhh well I guess since you are asking so...creatively."

  I smiled back at him and chuckled lightly as I passed him to retrieve something. As I walked toward the quartermaster I heard Jack ask, "what're you doing love?"

  I decided no to answer him and held my hand out. "The doll please. I know you have one. I can feel it."

  The quartermaster grunts at me before pulling it out and laying the straw doll in my hand. I smiled sweetly at him.
