Will You Still Love Me When I'm No Longer Young and Beautiful?

"Best keep your distance love"Jack said kissing my cheek"Retreat all to land for your lives!"Jack yelled and a lot of men tried to run,but some were getting pulled into the ocean"Retreat I say!"Jack yelled"Cowards!Back into the water!"Blackbeard said"There be no refuge on land!On my word!" Blackbeard said holding up his gun"Are you mad?!They're dying!!"I said"Then they'll die!"Blackbeard said shooting in the water at men,forcing them back into the water.I was standing next to Jack, when he looked almost..scarred.I followed his gaze and saw a BIG wave of mermaids coming this way"We're going to die now"I said in fear"Dont think like that Jessica.We have to stay strong alright?"He said grabbing my hand.I squeezed his hand tightly in fear.The mermaid began to pull at the bridge, to break it.I managed to fall in"Shit"I said as I tried to climb back up and as Jack made a reach for me, a mermaid got my ankle and started to pull"Not good not good not good!"I said in fear as I tried to hang on with one arm and grab my sword with the other but thankfully,Jack managed to cut the tenticle off.He pulled me up in a swift movement and ran off the bridge but it was hard because mermaids were popping up from under the bridge, trying to make a grab at Jack and I.I was infront of Jack and a mermaid tripped him and held onto his footShove off you bloody wench!"I said and kicked her in her nose.She shrieked and went back into the water.Jack grabbed my hand and we ran up to the light post.Jack pulled a post from the wall and started banging on the top of the thing holding the fire.Finally he broke it enough to where more oil was coming out"Love we have to jump alright?!"He said"Oookay!!"I said in a scarred way as he grabbed my hand and we jumped together, the whole thing exploded right after we jumped and bolders were flying everywhere.We landed in the water...My heart was pounding with fear.Jack and I watched underwater as all the mermaids swam off.When we came back to the surface, they caught one"Did everyone see that because I will not be doing it again"Jack said as we walked from the water"Back to the ship.We head for a protected cove.Now"Blackbeard said.So we went back on the ship and put the mermaid in a water filled container.Jack and I were blindfolded because they didnt want us to know this secret location.Angelica led Jack, and I merely held his hand..I didnt even want her to touch him...the next thing I know,I was running into Jack"Owww"I said annoyed but then my blindfold was taken off and I squinted,adjusting to the light"Its to you now Sparrow"Blackbeard said"Was that really necessary?"I asked rubbing my eye"Best you not know the exact whereabouts of my ship.I be a cautious man"Blackbeard said"So be I"Jack said then opened up his compass"What I want first...."his compass pointed to the left.He smirked"Is Ponce De Leo'n's ship"he said and then we began to follow him.I was making sure to stay by his side only because when I dont..she does.We had been walking and were forced to walk in a river that was waste deep"Why's it we've got to bring her along?"asked one of the pirates"Because tears dont keep.We need them fresh""Angelica said"What is the ritual again?Water from the fountain,and a mermaids tear?"Jack asked"Dont forget the chalices"I said moving some branches out of my way to keep walking"Yes, one cup with a tear one cup without"Angelica said. Jack nodded"So one with a tear and water in both?Quite comlicated is it not?"Jack asked"Both get water, one gets a tear...the person who drinks the water with the tear gets all the years of life from the other"Angelica said annoyed"How many years?Woah!"Jack said.I smiled picking up the snake by its head putting it over my shoulder"I thought you were afraid of snakes?" Jack asked.I shook my head"Never said that....and by the way darling..you get all the years they have lived...and they could have lived..it fate had been kinder.So be smart Jack..and be kind"I said smirking as the snake snapped at Jack.Jack backed away in fear.Angelica smirked as I threw the snake far off into the distance.As Angelica walked away Jack caught up with me"Is this your keep your friends close plan?By both making me miserable?"He whispered"Yes..but it is fun to mess with you"I said smirking.He gave me an annoyed look as I giggled and kept walking.We took a break to rest and drink some water.Jack decided to talk to the religious man.He was cute, for a younger man.He looked to be in his early 20's"Clergyman" Jack said, catching the boys attention"On the off chance that this does not go well for me,I would like it noted here and now that I am fully prepared to belive in whatever I must,so that I may be welcomed into that place where all the goody-goodies get to go.Savvy?"Jack said"We have a word for that Jack.You can convert"He said smiling at him"I was thinking more of an as-needed basis"Jack said but the clergy's attention was brought to the mermaid.I looked seeing she was suffocating"Quartermaster!"He said"Aye?"he said carelessly"She cannot breathe!" he said back"She has water"He retorted carelessly"She needs air!"the clergy said going to her and trying to pull open the box she was in"Open this"the clergy said"She will escape"said one of the zombie men"You're killing her"the clergy said"I support the missionary's position"Jack said.I smacked him"This isnt funny"I said"Just yesterday you were saying how you wished you had never asked to meet a mermaid, now you're defending her?"Jack asked"I dont like to see living things suffer like this Jack"I said but then the clergy opened the box with a sword and the second he did, she took in a deep breath of air"See?"He said looking at the zombie pirate.He just scowled and took his sword back,but the clergy put his bible in the crack so it was opened a little to keep her breathing.I saw the look between the two...he was falling for her"Onward"Blackbeard said.So again we began to walk,Jack was in the front...and he led us to a cliff...."Just as I thought...not this way!"Jack said looking back but Angelica stormed over"This is the way, isnt it?"She asked"Of course it is, but we should go around the east"Jack said but she looked at him then back to the other side of the land"That will take us out of the path of the chalices"She said"Well then we'll circle back"Jack said"There is no time"She said"You're the one who insisted on bringing the bloody mermaid"Jack said back"Well the mutiny didnt help"Angelica argued back"You walk like a girl"Jack said like a child"You would know"Angelica said annoyed"Someone has to go you idiots"I said growing annoyed with the flirtation going back and forth"I agree with Jessica"Blackbeard said"You mean split up?"Angelica asked"You mean jump?This I cannot wait to see"Jack said smirking"Sparrow will go"Blackbeard said.His smile dropped"Find the ship,retrieve the chalices"Blackbeard said"Sparrow?What makes u think he'll come back?"Angelica said"Yes what makes you think he will come back?"Jack asked"We cannot trust him.I'll go"Angelica started to back up to jump.She ran but Blackbeard stopped her"How much farther to the Fountain?Im running out of time"Blackbeard said"About a day's march north,following that river,you'll get to a series of pools.Then you're close" Jack said and Blackbeard went to take the compass but Jack didnt let go.Blackbeard gave him a look then ripped it from Jack"You will go"Blackbeard said"If he goes Im going because I'm not going to leave him"I said glaring"Ah, I see I have a partner-""No.You will go...and she will stay here.Now I will know what will make you come back"Blackbeard said pulling me to him and putting a gun to my head"Jack dont"I said with wide eyes.He sighed"I was sure it would come to this...you know that feeling you have when you're standing on something really high and you want to jump?....I dont have it"Jack said but Blackbeard pointed his gun at Jack"I need those chalices"Blackbeard said"Shoot.Save me the bother of the fall"Jack said smiling at him"You will go"Blackbeard pointed the gun at my head.I gulped in fear"You will return...or I will kill her"Blackbeard said"You wont kill your own...possible daughter"Jack said with a frown"Quartermaster,get me six more pistols,remove the shot from two,but do not tell me which two"Blackbeard said...and they did just that...there were six guns lying on a rock"You get to choose,Mr.Sparrow"Blackbeard said.Jack nodded then looked at them all"No.Mmm no"he picked up the third one"Yes"Jack said"You're sure?"Blackbeard asked"Course I am"Jack said giving me a reassuring smile.I gulped and stood there waiting for the blow then finally....when he clicked, it didnt kill me.Blackbeard nodded"Again"he said giving the gun to the Quarter master.He picked up another one"Please,they're not even loaded"Jack said swinging the gun around and all the men fucked.Jack held one up and when he shot, it shot,making us all jump in fear.I starred at Jack in shock"Again"Blackbeard said.Jack looked at me"If you're so keen on killing her, why dont you just let her jump...with me"Jack said"What?"I said in a very confused state"Mm-mm!"Jack mumered looking at me"If you jump and die, then she will have her chance...again"Blackbeard said.Jack ran to the Quartermaster"Oi, if I jump..will I survive?"Jack asked"The doll"The quartermaster said holding out his hand.Angelica gave it to him, and he threw it over the edge to fall.Jack began screaming loudly"Yes.You will survive" the Quartermaster said after Jack stopped screaming"This is nonsense!Im going with him!!"I said angrily as I started to the cliff but Jack stood infront of me"Stay here"He said"What?Jack I want to go with you-""You are safer here alright.As much as I hate for you to be in the same ship as this evil man...and..an x girlfriend...it's the best bet for you right now"Jack said with his hands on my shoulders.I felt tears brim in my eyes"What if something happens?What if you dont make it, or I dont make it or-"Jack kissed me deeply and lovingly.He wrapped his arms around my waste,slightly dipping me.I wrappd my arms around his neck kissing back.He finally pulled away from me, wiping my tears away"I'll be back for ye love..."he leaned in to my ear"And we'll make that baby"He said.I let a few more tears fall hearing that, but he wiped them away"Be strong for me Jess.I love you"He said kissing me one more time before jumping. I watched him fall"I love you too"I said as he landed in the water.Angelica ran over to look too.When I saw his head bob up and he was swimming around, my heart fluttered.I sighed happily.I smiled happily"We go on.To the fountain"said the Quartermaster.Blackbeard,Angelica and I watched for a bit longer"Well played father....you knew which guns were loaded right?"Angelica asked"Of course I did my love"Blackbeard said giving me the compass.I held it to my chest as Angelica gave me a sympathetic look.Blackbeard walked on"Im sorry..for him"Angelica said"Dont worry....Im sorry about Jack"I said.She smiled lightly"Maybe after this, I will find my own man to love..and be loved in return"She said"I know afew"I said with a smile.She smiled back and with that, we went on..but on the inside I was still worried about Jack.
