The Twin Sparrows

Whitecap Bay

Queen Anne's Revenge No POV

Angelica arrived at the deck dressed one some fancy crimson colored clothing for a special occasion as Jack gestured to Scrum to start playing music.

Jack: Hola... come. Little drink? <takes a bottle from inside a cannon>

Angelica: wine, music, candlelight. I think we've traveled down this road before, Jack.

Jack: yes, we have. <throws her a cup and she catches it> I remember it well. <gets the cork off with his teeth and spit it away> winding, twisting and turning, gyrating, writhing. Incessant writhing. <pours himself some wine> do you recall Saint Dominique?

Angelica: La Martinique. I tried to kill you in Saint Dominique.

Jack: either or. <pours his wine on Angelica's cup>

Angelica: hardly appropriate for a first mate.

Jack: was I the first? I've often wondered.

Angelica: you can be so charming when you want something, Jack. The trick is finding out what.

It wasn't long before Scrum started playing the guitar in a tango like beat for dancing as Jack and Angelica started dancing together.

Jack: the truth, then, is it? Blackbeard has served his purpose. You and I can go to the Fountain together, where we shall bathe one another in equal shares of fame and other assorted debaucheries.

Angelica: and I'll tell you the ritual of the Fountain.

Jack: yes. The profane ritual. <spins her and dips her>

Angelica: can I trust you, Jack? I need you on my side.

Jack: oh, my dearest Angelica.

They were both slowly going down on the floor.

Jack: you and I are as thick as thieves, love. Tell me the rules.

Angelica: water from the Fountain of Youth. <turns them over so she's on top> the shimmering tear of a mermaid. <caress his face slowly> the silver chalices of Ponce de Leon.

Jack: uh-huh?

Angelica: with these items...

Jack: yes?

Angelica; with these items, <sits up> you may take all the years of life from another, Jack.

Jack: <sits up> eh?

Angelica: you know what that means. We cannot go alone, you and I. The ritual requires a victim and i doubt you will want your niece or nephew to be that victim.

Jack: that is unfortunate.

Angelica: yes, it is.

Jack: i find my desire for the Fountain greatly lessened.

Angelica: <lays him down slowly> but there is something on board you do want.

Next scene was Angelica opening Blackbeard's locked closet that had the cell bars.

Jack: what about Blackbeard?

Angelica: he's in the chart room. We'll have to be quick.

Angelica opened the doors and there was a collection of bottled ships however the water inside was moving as the ships seem to be sailing in place as well with some firing their canons.

Angelica: he keeps each ship as his price. You help me, and I promise you your niece and nephew safe and your pick. Though I think i know the one you will choose.
