Second Chances

[boo radley]

(Well, it depends. I'm just thinking that depending on how things go, because sometimes a story needs a nudge, like my Dark Knight one haha, but the way things are going, doesn't look like we'll need another character I wasn't being serious, and I don't think I'm gonna need to do that. As for the short post I actually didn't have time )

"Why not?" Jack asked. He looked back down at the dinghy and grimaced a little. "Missy, we're pirates, at least, that's what you lot look like. Personally I think it's weird that you decided to help me. But now that you helped me..." he thought for a second. "I only sail ships on which I am Captain. Let me do that and I promise you all will get a tremendous fortune. Something you could have never dreamed of." Jack's eyes sparkled. "What say you to that?"

James collapsed again. After all, he was still materializing.

Will was sailing quickly. Underwater, that is. His father stood behind him. Father, he thought. At least he had someone to be there for him. Finally. The ship came above the water in front of the ship that had just taken Jack on board. Will grinned at the surprised sailors - the only one who had ever heard of him by this point was Jack, because pirates still believed in Davy Jones at that point.

"Captain," Will thundered to Jack, not willing to reveal Jack's name for fear that Jack might be a bit annoyed at him for something like it (although why he would be, it made no sense), "I have a need of your services. And owing to the fact that you have put me on this ship for the rest of eternity, it will be in your best interests to listen."

Jack frowned and looked at Will. Will had a mad glint in his eye. "Erm... I answer to no one."

"Seriously," said Will.

"Fine." He looked at the girl who stood in front of her. "Thanks for the sweets and the water, Miss. I will have to go." He tried to walk off the ship.

((I don't think we need another one just yet but maybe later on. New characters with new secrets and plots are always fun.))

Anna watched in amazement as the Flying Dutchmen came out of the water. She'd heard the stories of the ship--never had seen before now of course otherwise she'd probably be dead or on it--and was as shocked as the rest of the crew to see it. She noticed that the man before her wasn't as surprised. She listened to the exchange made and this annoyed her, although she didn't know why.

She pulled out her pistol and pointed it at his head, as did crewmen around her and Ronald. "Hold on, pirate. I have a proposition for you." She announced and took a step forward.

"What if you could captain our ship, if only temporarily," She paused raising an eyebrow and holding up a finger to an edgey captain of hers. "what would be in it for us?" She was intrigued. His mention of fortunes she'd never dreamed of caught her interest imensely.

She'd pause for a moment, somehow hearing her husband's words.."Will....?" Quickly did she gaze about, desperately looking for her husband, taking notice of the boat as well, only to quickly snap back to reality by a rather..shocking surprise "J-j-james!?!?" How!? How! Oh she had to be dreaming!! Hadn't he died.?"I thought..I thought you died...!So how are you here?!..." Had he lived...somehow...?But how was he here of all places? Elizabeth's mind began to race with all the possibilities, so much so it began to give her a headache.. The lass's brain jolted back rather fast as she watched the man fall to the ground unconscious. Wasn't she the one supposed to fainting..?

"Ah James!" No sooner was her stick dropped as she knelt down to the mans side,placing her head to his chest, attempting to see if he had a heart beat. It was faint..but he still had one.. He probably needed food and water..She had to get him back to her cottage.., but she couldn't quite carry him! "Oh!" She'd out a cry of frustration, pacing back and forth as she looked about, trying to figure out what she was to do. Would he be okay if she left him there for a short while..?No one else was there..and he was far enough away from the tide.."Ah...Ah..I'll be back soon so just stay put alright!?" Of course he'd stay put he had fainted after all! Still she couldn't help but give him a verbal reply before running off through the grassy fields, back toward her in cottage to gather a bit of food and water for the man.

It would take awhile, (though she tried to be quick about it) before she returned a pitcher full of water and basket of food in tow to the beach. "..James..?" She questioned, though seemed to get no response..Hesitantly she stuck her foot out, beginning to prod and gently press against his body as if trying to get him to stir from his unaware state of mind. "Come on wake up please would you! I mean..ah could you please..?I didn't mean to sound so rude!" Why on earth was she talking to herself so much..? Elizabeth you've spent way too much time by yourself.. The lass thought to herself, while trying to get the man to stir in a conscious state.

James grunted and rolled over. He was as surprised as Elizabeth. "Wha... You're really here.... and... OW!" His side hurt. "Sorry, I shouldn't be complaining so much." He sat up. "You've got water!" He looked at it greedily.

Quite frankly, Jack wasn't too happy with what was going on. Neither was Will. "Well," said Jack, "like I said, there'd be LOADS of treasure. Too much, in fact. I'm sure your eyes would bleed out of joy."

[dearestpoppet]

"Ah-i'm sorry!" She'd retreat her foot from his side, as he came to kneel beside him. "It is quite alright..after all your injured aren't you...?" Elizabeth had honestly no idea if the man had truly died or not..Well, Barbossa had been brought back from the dead, he could have as well,but she wasn't so sure yet.."Hm..?Water oh yes here.." She extended the pitcher to him. "Are you able to sit up.to drink it..?I've also brought some food..After all I think in the state your in I think you could very well use some.." There were so many unanswered questions that were racing within her brain,however she decided to save them for later.., once James was in a more..'stable' condition.

After drinking water, James felt much more alive. "Thank you, Elizabeth. Yes... I was," he stopped. "Dead, I suppose. Someone... someone took me out..." then he realized it. William Turner. "Of course."

"Anna?! What are you doing?" Ronald demanded impatiently.

Annd shot him a look before turning back to the pirate. "What would it take to get you to bring us to the treasure?" She asked, an eyebrow raised. She wanted a way off the ship. She wasn't as comfortable there as she made herself seem to the crew and her captain. She figured if she could only get herself to that treasure, she could use that to her advantage and buy her way around the Caribbean until she found her family. Now she just needed to convince him to help them.

"My captaining of the ship, no arguments about any of my commands, and no treachery. Mutiny is not tolerable. In any way." Jack said those last words very clearly. Making a point, aren't you, Jackie? a little voice said in his head.

[AnnaxxBlack]

Anna raised her eyebrows and looked back at Ronald. "Well, do you want the treasure or not?" She asked, knowing she would get her way.

He gritted his teeth. "Fine. You may comand my ship. For now. But if this turns into a false treasure, mutiny will be an option." He threatend.

Anna grinned and looked back at the pirate. "Do we have an accord Mr....?" She asked, wondering his name.

((lol. oops! XD))
