Pilferer: POTC

Finding Jack

Mary's POV

It's stopped snowing and I've realized over the last few days. There has been some tension between Will and Elizabeth.  Which is strange as I heard they were engaged to be married.

Anyway Barbossa told me we are nearibg our destination. Which is good. It meant I'd be able to leave soon for White Cap Bay. A place no man would dare to go and I'd be safe.

"Barbossa, ahead!" Will shouts.

"Aye, we're good and lost now" Barbossa states.

"Lost?" Elizabeth and I ask him.

"For certain you have to be lost to find the places can’t be found. Elseways, everyone would know where it was" he explains. Makes sense.

"We're gaining speed!" Gibbs shouts.

"Aye" Barbossa agrees.

"To stations! All hands, to stations! Hard to port, gather way!" Will orders.

"Nay! Belay that! Let her run straight and true!" Barbossa orders. We all look ahead to see a huge water fall.

"You've doomed us all" Elizabeth says to Barbossa.

"Don’t be so unkind. You may not survive to pass this way again and these be the last friendly words you’ll hear" he tells her.

"I hope you are right about this" I state as I hold onto the railing. Elizabeth and Will order the ship to be turned around. But it was to late, the waterfalls current had us in its grip. We end up going over it backwards and my world goes black.

(Time skip)

I wake up on a beach. Nothing but water behind me and sand ahead. A hand appears and I look up to see Barbossa. I accept his hand and he helps me to my feet.

"This truly is a Godforsaken place" Gibbs states.

"Agreed" I say as I ring my hair.

"I don’t see Jack, I don’t see anyone aside from us" Elizabeth says.

"He’s here. Davy Jones never once gave up that what he took" Barbossa tells us.

"It doesn’t matter, we’re trapped here by your doing, no different than Jack" Will states.

"Witty Jack is closer than you think" Tia tells us. I notice her patting a crab. I wonder where it came from? I was about to ask. When a ship appeared over the sand dunes on the backs of thousands of crabs. Not just any ship, but the Black Pearl. With Jack Sparrow on the mast.

The crabs took it to rhe water. Jack anchored it and came to shore. We all went to greet him. "Mr Gibbs" Jack says.

"Aye captain" he says.

"I thought so. I expect you can account for your actions, then?" Jack asks him.

"Sir?" Gibbs says confused.

"There has been a perpetual and virulent lack of discipline aboard my vessel! Why is that, sir?" Jack demands.

"You're in Davy Jones Locker captain" Gibbs tells him.

"I know that. I know where I am, and don’t think I don’t" Jack tells him.

"Jack Sparrow" Barbossa says grabbing his attention.

"Ah, Hector. It’s been too long, hasn’t it?" Jack asks him.

"Aye, Isla de Muerta, remember? You shot me" Barbossa reminds him.

"No, I didn’t" Jack protests and moves onto Tia Dalma. "Ah, Tia Dalma, out and about, eh? You lend an agreeable sense of the macabre to any delirium" he states. Now I get it, he thinks we're illusions.

"He thinks we’re a hallucination" Will states.

"William, tell me something. Have you come because you need my help to rescue a certain distressing damsel? Or rather a damsel in distress? Either one" Jack asks him.

"No" Will answers.

"Then you wouldn’t be here. So you can’t be here. Q.E.D. you’re not really here" Jack states.

"Jack, this is real, we’re here" Elizabeth assures him. When he sees her, he looks like he's seen a ghost. He scuttles back over to Gibbs.

"The locker you say?" Jack asks him.

"Aye" Gibbs says.

"We've come to rescue you" I tell him as I examine my nails.

"Have you, now? That’s very kind of you luv. But seeing as I possess a ship and you don’t. It seems as though you’re the ones in need of rescuing and I’m not sure as I’m in the mood" he tells me.

"I  see my ship [points to the Pearl] right there" Barbossa says pointing at the Pearl.

"Can’t spot it, must be a tiny little thing hiding somewhere behind the Pearl" Jack tells him.

"Jack. Cutler Beckett has the heart of Davy Jones. He controls the Flying Dutchman" Will states.

"He’s taking over the seas" Elizabeth adds.

"The song has already been sung. The Brethren Court is called" Tia explains.

"Leave you people alone for a minute and look what’s happened, everything’s gone to pot" Jack states.

"Aye, Jack. The world needs you back something fierce" Gibbs tells him.

"And you need a crew" Will adds.

"Why should I sail with any of you? Four of you have tried to kill me in the past, one of you succeeded" Jack states looking at Elizabeth. "Oh, she’s not told you? You’ll have loads to talk about while you’re here" he states.

He then starts to approach us one by one. Deciding who wanted to come with him. He invites Tia, Gibbs, Marty, Cotton and his parrot. Then Tai Huang and his men.

But inthe end he had to take all of us. As Barbossa had the charts and wouldn't leave without Pintel, Ragetti, Jack the Monkey and I. Then I wouldn't leave without Elizabeth and Will. We towed back to the Pearl and set sail. Jack and Barbossa arguing about qho the captain of the Pearl is.
