---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1: Hell on Earth…It had been nearly five years since Jack last saw Phoenix. His heart broken, and his spirits low. No drink could satisfy his craving for his love, and no whore in town could satisfy his lust. He'd never felt this way before, so many emotions… Somehow he didn't quite know how to exactly handle them all. He had been acting coldly towards every and everything around him… some of his men had even jumped ship, saying they couldn't deal with their moody captain any longer. But Jack couldn't, and wouldn't move on…
"Captain…", Jacobs said walking into the room. "Port Royal is comin' up on the horizon sir… Just thought ye'd like to know", he said taking a seat opposite from Jack at the desk. Jack said nothing and continued to scrawl little notes on a map.
"Do ye think she'll be there Jacobs?", Jack asked, looking up hopefully… "Well… it's 'ard to say sir, I mean… we 'ave searched nearly the entire Caribbean…", Jacobs said quietly, making sure to watch what words he used with his captain.
Last time someone mentioned that Davy Jones was a merciless monster and wouldn't let Jack take Phoenix back… Jack had him lashed…
Jack looked back down at his map for a moment, threw his pencil aside then crumpled up the map. He leaned back in his chair, his hand resting on his chin as he thought for a moment. Jacobs looked very nervous and slowly got out of chair… Jack said nothing. Jacobs nodded at Jack then quietly left the cabin.
"Gibbs… I think he's loosin' it… 'is mind and 'is 'ope…", Jacobs said meeting Gibbs at the helm. Gibbs said nothing but nodded, looking at the sunset.
oooooooooo
As Jack sat in his cabin… he got up slowly and walked over to the small 'washroom' In the corner and looked in the mirror. He then placed his hands on each side of the small basin and looked down, his eyes shut tight, and began to sob quietly.
"I can't take this anymore…", he said to himself. "I need 'er back…", he clenched his jaw, feeling the warm liquid fall from his eyes. "… my child… my first born…", he said, wiping his eyes and giving a disbelieving chuckle. He then tried to clam his breathing and walked over to his cabinet full of rum.
He took a bottle and drained it, then took another one, walking over to sit in the chair at the desk.
"Where are ye luv…", Jack said to himself, beginning to sip the rum once more. Suddenly there she was… she saw Phoenix sitting on the edge of the bed, no longer pregnant.
"I'm right 'ere Jack… come and make love to me my strong pirate captain…", Phoenix said seductively licking her lips at Jack. Jack's eyes went wide and he shot out of his chair and stumbled his way to where he saw Phoenix sitting.
"Luv! Yer 'ere! I've missed ye!", he said trying to hug Phoenix… but when he looked at where she was again, he saw nothing. He looked around his cabin frantically and still saw nothing. He felt his eyes begin to sting again and he clenched his jaw, trying to keep his composure.
"Five years luv…", he said laying down on the bed. "Why can't I find ye?", he asked to ceiling he was staring at. Jack's shipmates convinced Jack to pay a visit to his friends, to try and give him a rest. Jack regretfully agreed and told his crew to set sail for Port Royal.
"Goodnight my luv… I will find ye soon enough… and I'll never let ye go…", Jack said looking at the locket Phoenix had left behind. He opened it and let the music ring out, making tears form in his eyes. He then cuddled into his pillow and quickly fell asleep.
Jack sowed Phoenix's shirt she had left behind to his pillow, so every time he fell asleep, he could smell her pineapples and coconuts, just as the night he first met her. The scent faded a long time ago, but every time Jack slept, he smelled it… he embedded the scent into his memory.
oooooooooo
Jack awoke shortly after he fell asleep and walked to the window, noticing the stars, and how the ship wasn't moving. The crew had rarely called Jack when they docked anymore, they knew not to disturb the man in his state. Jack slowly put on his coat and hat and exited his cabin…
When he looked back into the cabin once more before shutting the door, he saw he and Phoenix laughing naked on his bed. He saw the way she giggled whenever he would tickle her… He saw the way she looked into his eyes when he lay above her.
Jack clenched his jaw with a swift grin, then shut the door.
The walk was very slow, Jack walking lazily along the shoreline of the hidden cove, then slowly through his shortcuts. He stopped when he saw the entrance to the hidden lagoon. He entered it slowly, looking around, feeling his eyes well as he remembered what they had experienced in that very same cove. He walked over to where he had placed the boat taking them further behind the waterfall. He crouched down and touched the water, feeling how warm it was… making him remember when she ran away from him and jumped in, urging him to follow.
He smiled… probably the first time he had in months. He then stood up and looked around one last time before making his way up to the Turner's. Past the cove and through the alley ways, Jack finally reached their home and approached it, knocking on the door.
He heard someone rummaging around in the foyer before he heard the door click. Suddenly the door opened and he saw Elizabeth in a robe, holding a small girl with her arm who was gripping her leg.
"Jack!", Elizabeth exclaimed wrapping her arms around her friend. She held him tightly for a moment, then her body stiffened when she heard Jack begin to sob.
When Jack saw Elizabeth with the small child gripping her leg, he nearly lost it. All he saw was phoenix with their small child… was it a boy or a girl? Did he have a gorgeous daughter or a strapping son? Jack held Elizabeth tightly and sobbed into her shoulder. Elizabeth didn't know what to do, so she gently patted his back… she's never seen Jack, nor any man for that matter in this kind of state before.
"Elizabeth! What's the matt---", Will rushed into the room, then saw Jack holding Elizabeth tight as he sobbed. Will looked confused for a long moment, then began to slowly approach the two in the foyer.
"Jack?", Will asked, feeling his daughter run into his arms for protection. Will caught her, his eyes still not moving from Jack and his wife. Jack sniffled, then slowly pulled away from Elizabeth. He held his head down and wiped his face. Elizabeth and Will stared at Jack, almost in horror at the way he looked. He was much thinner than they'd last remembered, his skin was much paler, and the area around his eyes were dark, as if he hadn't slept properly in weeks.
"Go to your room Angela…", Will whispered to his daughter, who acknowledged instantly, then ran up the stairs. Jack looked up and watched the little girl run up the stairs and gave a small teary-eyed smirk.
Jack then made eye-contact with an extremely confused Will. His face went serious, then he began to sway on his feet, as if he would loose consciousness.
"Phoenix… she's gone…", Jack managed to say, though saying her name stung his throat. Will and Elizabeth looked frightened at each other then approached Jack. Elizabeth took Jack by the arm as Will closed the door.
"Come on Jack…", Elizabeth whispered leading him in to the living room. This wasn't their happy friend anymore… this wasn't the witty and fun-loving Jack who always had a smart remark. This was a broken human being… one who looked like they had no life-source left in them… This looked like a man who had been going through hell on Earth.
