Jack and had been sailing for a while now months in fact with still no sign of the fountain of youth. We were running low on supplies once more so we stopped off at the closest island to resupply. As per usual we ended up in a bar.

"I just don't know how much longer we can go on sailing aimlessly hoping to come across the fountain of youth Jack, " I said after setting my drink down on the small wooden table.

"Neither can I maybe we should take a break and go after something else for a change?" Jack suggested.

"Sounds good to me. There is somewhere I've been meaning to visit for a while now anyway."

"And where would that be?" Jack inquired.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Jack and I finished our drinks and headed out to grab some food before heading back to the ship. Before we could get any supplies however I spotted someone I really didn't fancy seeing. He turned in our direction and I pulled Jack onto me and behind a wall out of sight. Jack simply smirked at me.

"Not now Jack. If you had cared to notice your old friend who we stole the ship from is here," I remarked.

"Well, that's not very good."

"No, it's not."

We crept around the market we were in and hoped we wouldn't be spotted.

"Sparrow!"

We froze.

"Damnit, " I snapped.

"Ah, Captain Ardala how have ya been?" Jack asked with a grin as if we hadn't stolen his ship.

"You stole my ship, " he snapped walking quickly towards Jack. I snuck around out of sight.

Captain Ardala drew his sword and pointed it at Jack.

"You will give me my ship back, " he demanded.

"How about no?" I said standing up behind the Captain and pressing the knife to his throat.

"Ah, Celeste Jones the Pirate King."

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, " I snarled. "Now kindly remove your sword from my husband's throat."

The Captain reluctantly took his sword away still glaring at Jack. I kept my blade at his throat.

"Now how is it that you know who Celie is?" Jack questioned.

"News travels fast. Especially when it involves Davy Jones and the pirate lords."

"How interesting," I said before hitting him over the head and knocking him out. "Let's get going," I said to Jack.

"Aye, " We headed quickly back to the boot sneaking past more of Captain Ardala's crew.

A few weeks later we arrived at the place I had been wanting to go for a while now. Back to my sister's home.

"So this is where you wanted to go Celie?" Jack said wrapping his arms around me from behind as stared over the bow of the ship.

"It is."

"Any particular reason?" He questioned.

"Youll see," I smiled twisting around to face Jack.

A little while later we made land. But...we weren't the only ship there.

"Is that what I think it is?" Jack asked staring out quizzically to the other ship.

"It's The Dutchman," I beamed before jumping onto the rail of the ship to get a better look.
