Jack Sparrow and his Delia - Part I - Curse of the Black Pearl

Chapter Ten - Back to the craves

They push her into the cabin.

"Elizabeth?" You spoke under your breath.

"Delia." She rushed next to where you had been sitting on the floor. "Oh Delia; I am so so sorry." She started to tear up. "If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have gone through all this."

"No Lizzy! It's not your fault at all. It was going to happen with or without you."

"Bu-"

"It's a long story. Why did they push you in here anyway?"

"They are going to go try and save Will, with Jack, but they don't know about the curse."

"Will then." You slowly stood up, not to fall from crying which had caused you to be dizzy. "I guess we have to save them. Don't we?"

"But how? We can't get off this boot withou-"

You were looking out the window down to the water. "Yes we can. Look down there; there's a rowboat. We can row to the pearl and then get the pirates to help." You looked around the room. "Grab all the sheets you can, and we'll tie them together.

"Got it."

As they made it aboard the black pearl the Pirates came to meet them. "Miss Williams, what are you doing here?" Mr Gibbs asked in concern.

"We need your help. Will is stuck on the island and is taking Jack there now."

"We have to go and help them!" Elizabeth insisted.

They all just stood there looking at each other.

"Guys come on, what's wrong. Jack needs your help!"

"Sorry miss, we've got the pearl. And there's the code to consider."

You were shocked. "You have got to be kidding me. Your Pirates! So hang the code and hang the rules."

They didn't move.

"Come on Delia. We'll go alone."

......

"You like pain; try wearing a corset!"

"Nice work Liz!"

"Thanks"

"Girls, what are you? -"

"No time, who's side is Jack on?" Elizabeth asked, looking at Jack turning in and out of transformation.

"At the moment."

They turned back to fight the three pirates behind them. Delia went to help Jack.

"Need some help!" Delia hit Barbossa, cursing him to fall.

"Ay. Well if it isn't the lil' miss." He charged with his sword, but Delia quickly blocked it.

"Nice move." Jack started to run, towards the chest.

Barbossa blocked him and Delia ran past.

An explosion rang through the cave and Elizabeth ran away towards the two men, as Barbossa took out his pistol to fire a shot.

A gun had fired but not by his hand he turned to see Jack with his pistol, looking him dead in the eye.

"Ten years, you carry that pistol and now you waste your shot."

"He didn't waste it!" Will dropped the two blood stained coins into the chest.

Barbossa moved his shirt to revive a shot wound. "I feel..... cold." And with that he fell back.

......

Jack was sorting through the treasure, with Delia by his side.

"It's so beautiful."

"Aye. All through, I am very lucky to say I've seen something more beautiful." He said without looking at you.

You hissed in pain as you could feel your wrist becoming worse.

Jack looks at you with a worried expression. "Are you ok, love."

"Huh. Oh yes, just my wrist is all."

"May I." He put out his hand to take a look.

You placed your hand in his, hoping he wouldn't become too worried about your wrist.

He was in shock. Sure he had known what happened, it had happened to him. But this was far worse. The burning process was so long that the burn had completely gone through the skin and due to her coming to rescue him, he was sure the wound would become infected.

"Oh Delia." He said only above a whisper. "Delia, I'm so sorry this happened to you. If I could have stopped them I would have."

"It's ok." He looked up from your wrist. "I'm fine honestly. It just hurts. It's not your fault jack."

"I know, but I feel like it is." He paused and ripped off a bit of fabric from his sash. "I know it ain't the cleanest, but at least it will cover it, so nothin' gets in it." He once again took your wrist and wrapped the fabric around and tied it softly so as not to hurt you further. "There."

"Thank you Jack." You said softly. 'Why is he so sweet?'

"No worries love."

They started to lean in when something fell from across the way.

"Ah.. Should we get to me ship?"

As he somewhat rushed away. He didn't notice Will and Elizabeth talking.

"Jack...wait. Look..."

Delia court up and pointed to the two of them.

"We should return to the Dauntless."

"Your Fiance will be wanting to know your save."

Jack and Delia hit their heads simultaneously and they made their way to Will.

"If you were looking for the opportune moment... that was it. Now I'd be very happy if you drop me off to the ship.
