Deadly Waters

Calypso

So many trials!

I sat at the table with the rest of the Brethren court, everyone was so quiet. It was a awkward silence that no one liked. Finally, Ammand spoke up "uh, Miss. Turner has passed all of her trials so far...however, she still has two more to go"

"Shouldn't we be celebrating?" Captain Jocard asked, glancing hopefully around the table.

"There will be no celebrations until the end" Captain Chevalle said, folding his hands in his lap and giving a concrete stare.

"I mean, she has the Gem of Amita and no one else was able to touch it...it was lost for centuries..I think its a cause for celebration" Jocard sniffed, hoping for someone to 'back him up'.

"No celebrations until the end!" Captain Villanueva boomed, It made me jump. Jack's hand slipped into mine, I smiled and blushed.

"What do you think, Jack?" Jocard asked, all eyes turned to my beloved.

"Personally...or Pirate lord-aly?" Jack asked, Jocard rolled his eyes. Jocard turned to Captain Ching.

"Should or not?"

"This is no time for a debate, Davy Jones has issued that he will kill all of the Pirate Lords just as he has done before, and I don't think he's playing" Ching answered and glared directly at me. I looked down and wrapped both of my hands around Jack's. I looked up to find confused expressions issued  from the rest Pirate Lords.

"I, um, had a fight with Jones and beat him up" I explained with a small smile, reliving those few amazing moments in my mind's eye.

"See! Another cause for celebration!" Jocard yelled happily, Captain Villanueva growled and Captain Jocard looked down in embarrassment, just as I had moments before.

"So, this uh challenge...he issued it while we were gone doing the trials, aye?" Captain Barbossa asked, Jack the Monkey sitting quietly on his shoulder.

"Aye" Captain Chevalle replied in a solemn tone, I glanced around and furrowed my brows, I stood now, still holding Jack's hand.

 "Hey, don't be so...sad....I beat him up once and I can do it again!" I cried happily, hoping for a positive response from my fellow Pirate Lords.

It was not positive responses that I received.

"I don't think that's such a good idea" Barbossa said, my brows furrowed. Then, Jack broke in.

"Ha! and I agree completely with Barbossa...for once" Jack said looking to me, I was in a tailspin, now.

"What? J-Jack, you saw me! I can do it again!" I yelled, trying to convince him, Jack pulled me back down into my seat and pushed my hair behind my ears.

"Yes, but you did have the benefit that he was surprised...now he knows you're a pirate lord" Jack said "and he knows the sword is your artifact" Jack added, my positive feelings plummeted to the bottom of my gut.

"And the only one who can kill Davy Jones completely is Calypso" Captain Ammand said holding a big, brown, leather-bound, dusty book. 

"Who's Calypso?" I asked, turning from Jack to the rest of the Pirate Lords.  

"They say, Calypso is Davy Jones's true love and for every ten years he could only spend one day with her, Jones prepared to be reunited with his true love on land, but became enraged and saddened when she didn't show. Unable to deal with Calypso's betrayal he ripped out his own heart and placed it in a chest. Known as the dead man's chest" Ammand told.

"Ew" I said "wouldn't that hurt?" I asked and Ammand smiled at me, shaking his head with amusement. His smile quickly vanished and he  looked  down at his hands. I glanced over to Jack who was scowling at Ammand. I smiled at Jack but still he kept his eyes locked on Ammand, glaring at him.

Apparently, Barbossa noticed too because he snapped in front of Jacks eyes, Jack looked around trying to get his focus back "So, do we have any clue where Calypso is?" I asked and they all looked at me strangely.

"Why?" Captain Jocard asked, confusion swimming in his eyes.

"Well, she can kill him so.." I said trailing off, attempting to get them to catch on to my train of thought.

"We can also kill him" Ammand said quickly, he had taken the book from Chevalle and was reading a dirtied page. 

"Please, do tell!" 

"It says, if you take Jones's heart out of the chest and stab it Jones will die, but, the last person who died on the Flying Dutchman will become the new captain and will have control over Davy Jones's locker" Ammand finished shutting his book dramatically.

"So, just make sure, after we kill Jones, someone on our side dies on the Flying Dutchman....how hard could that be?" I asked sarcastically "again, do we have any clue where Calypso is?" I asked, hoping that there was something in Ammand's book.

"I don't know....um, who's ever been to a sea-gods hang-out?" Captain Jocard said sassily, I glared at him.

"Haha, you're just asking for an ass whooping if you want to pick a fight with her" Captain Barbossa laughed, wiping at tear from his eye.

"Oh, yeah, old man?" Jocard said standing to face Barbossa, Jocard slammed his hands down on the table.

"Hey, calm down" I growled standing up

"You're right" Barbossa said, calmly sitting down, I nodded my thanks.

"What and that's it? You're going to listen to a woman?" Jocard yelled, scoffing. 

"Well, this woman can kick your ass faster than anyone else in this room" I growled, placing my hands on the table.

 " Oh, ho so, now you want my ass?" Jocard asked attempting to beat me with perversity.

"Don't you dare talk to her like that" Jack snarled standing up, his chair falling away behind him, there was fire in his eyes.

"Or what? You'll talk me to death?" Jocard asked, crossing his arms and cocking an eyebrow. No one liked to know it, but Jack was very, very good in combat.

"No" I hissed then my sword floated out of its holster and floated menacingly beside me.

"Oh, we're going to fight now?" Jocard asked babyishly, clapping his hands.

"Kill him" I growled to my sword.

"Oh no, no, no! Hands fight" Jocard growled walking around the table.

"Fine" I snarled,  my sword hit the table making a terrible clanging. Before I could get my hands on him, Jack punched Jocard in the face, sending him sprawling backwards, Jocard hit the cave wall and slid to the ground.

Unconscious.

"How in the hell is he a Pirate Lord?" I asked, then I turned back to the other Pirate Lords, who were all now standing, I clapped my hands and felt all of the anger I once harbored melt away. "So, are we in agreement to go find Calypso?"
