Chapter Seventeen: Going home.
I quirked an eyebrow at William. "Since when did you learn how to fix gas tanks?" I questioned.
"You taught me." Will laughed. Ah yes, I remember now. Shrugging, the pain in my side reminded me of my wound. I lifted up my shirt to reveal a stitch had ripped through my flesh creating a new fresh wound on top of my healing one.
"Damnit!" I yelled looking at it, stupid old world medicine! I pinched it together watching it stick for a moment before it popped back apart.
"Lass ye be alright?" Jack questioned. I turned to him grabbing a small knife he had on his persons. I began cutting the stitches apart pulling them out. The blood was trickling slowly down my side.
"What was the point of that?" Will asked me.
"When I go back home I don't want them to wonder why I have what looks to be animal stitches once I go to the doctors." I replied, patting my pockets I panicked when I didn't find my keys. "My keys are back at the shop!" I exclaimed feeling my stomach drop.
A small jingle lifted my spirits as William held up my set of keys. Smiling I took them from him and started at the silver mass of metal.
"Sure ye be wantin' to do this?" Jack asked in a final attempt to get me to stay. I looked at him and nodded.
"This is what I truly want." I replied.
"Liss, wait." William said stepping near to me he pulled me in and hooked a hand behind my neck and gave me a long kiss right in front of Jack. Who seemed very confused about this.
"Oy! I'm standing right 'ere!" Jack yelled waving his arms high in the air as William broke the kiss.
"Sorry Jack it had to be done." William said giving a sweet smile. I blushed a very pink shade. Catching sight of Jack's face made me giggle a little.
"Don't worry mate, you'll get him back one day." I said winking at Jack who still didn't seem happy about the whole thing.
"Bloody enchantress." Jack mumbled turning around to walk away which hurt a little. Turning back he gave me a quizzical look, "Me compass lass!" Jack said rounding about he lumbered towards me. I unlatched the compass and held it out in my hand. Jack reached for the compass but instead grabbed my wrist pulling my hand he drew me close to his body holding me tightly he kissed my forehead.
"Jack I…" I said getting teary eyed.
"Now lass, don't be making 'ol Jack get all emotional." He said wiping the corner of his eye.
"Don't you get tired of referring to yourself it the third person?" I asked laughing. Jack looked at me a little thoughtful and just shook his head.
"Watch out for fish people, and undead monkeys, don't take chief positions from strangers, and don't let Gibbs guard the Pearl." I said drawing away from him, but he roughly pulled me back and kissed me shoving the compass back into my hand he released me.
Standing there staring at the compass confused I glanced up at Jack who just motioned to the Compass.
"Be sure you are making the decision you want." Jack commented. I nodded and slowly flipped the compass open.
The needle pointed to my car, then shifted to William, then to Jack, and my car once more. It played this game for a few seconds before it settled on Jack. I sighed closing the compass.
"I suppose we have to go shove Elizabeth into the ocean. I just hope we don't run into Elvis here." I sighed tossing the compass back to Jack. Him and William looked at me confused.
"I guess I don't want to go home yet." I shrugged.
"That's me bonny lass!" Jack said smiling at me, I rolled my eyes and started walking back towards the town.
"Wait, where are you going?" Jack asked.
"You want the Pearl back don't you?" I called over my shoulder.
"Follow the lass!" Jack said to William who smiled and shook his head.
"Oh yea, Jack, you have a peanut behind your ear." I laughed as they caught up to me.
"How did that get there?" Jack asked flicking it to the side.
I looked over at Jack, and over at William putting a sore arm around both of them I looked ahead through the tree's to my new and most likely final home.
"Drink up me hearties YO HO!" Jack looked at me like I was crazy. Laughing I patted him on the back, "Let's teach it to the whole crew!" Jack smiled as we walked our way out into our next adventure.
It's done! Hope you enjoyed it, I will be working on my next story soon, hope you are looking forward to it! I'm not sure I will make a sequel it will take a lot of coaxing from fans.

P.S. I know the compass thing is confusing but I have to explain that Jack just happened to be in that general direction when she was with Will. And Jack was behind Norrington behind the door the second time. It's not like she wants them all... Just Jack!
