Thanks to the people who have reviewed! At least I know someone is reading this lol. There is to be lots of a** kicking to come, I 'm just trying to get the ball rolling, and since this is chapter 4 I'll make it longer, and more exciting! 3 R&R Ps. I'm taking things in my direction now, so only the setting will fit the movie (owned by Disney) not the situations.

The place was dingy, okay? No other word for it. Lily walked woodenly next to Pintel and Ragetti following their Captain, Gibbs, and Will into the little cabin-like home on stilts in the middle of a marshy, swampy, bog that seemed to never have felt the lick of the sun's rays upon its waters or foliage. Lily looked back once at Cotton who had to mind the boat. He rested his head on the oars and fell into a comfortable sleep. How could anybody feel safe here? This place gives me the creeps…. Why is there a shrunken head on the lamp post outside? Who is Tia Dalma? Can she REALLY answer the questions I got? I sure as Hell hope so.

They all crowded together and walked through the rotting door frame into the cramped and decidedly cluttered little hovel. Lily's eyes went wide as they swept over everything that was crammed into the small space. Gah! There's a snake on the wall! Lily half jumped out of her skin and jumped into Gibbs who laughed quietly and moved her in between himself and Will. Jack and Tia Dalma began talking, first about payment, which thank God Jack decided on the monkey. I hate that bloody thing. Lily thought thinking back to about 5 minutes ago when they were still on the ship and the monkey tried to steal the ring she had around her neck on a chain. Her father had given it to her before he died, and it was a very rare crystal encased in gold. "this is the girl." A voice heavy with a Jamaican accent said with finality. Lily then snapped back to the present or past rather, and saw a dark woman smiling at her. Lily tried to smile back, but shuddered at the woman's bad dental hygiene and dread locks, the woman just looked like a witch. "Me?" Lily asked trying to break the awkward silence that began to fall upon the small group as everyone looked to her like she was a really valuable something. Jack cleared his throat ", yes, you, what other girl do you see here besides her?" He pointed to Tia Dalma Lily flushed, Whoops. Tia Dalma nodded and stretched her bony hand out towards Lily "You have a touch of destiny about you girl, may I?" Lily nodded and handed the woman her hand. She was lead over to a wooden table with an assortment of junk, probably for casting spells, on it and sat in the chair opposite of another one. "You should not be in such clothes. You look like a fool." Lily felt self-conscious and looked down at herself. "It's the only clothes I had besides my pajamas." Tia Dalma nodded and stood, Jack, who stood oddly close to the older woman moved to let her by.

She walked down into the guts of the house. There was a shuffling and a slamming, and she was back holding a pair of boots, a pair of breeches, a vest, and a white poof shirt. "You need to dress the part if you're going to be that what you are." Lily looked confusedly, her thoughts were everywhere. Jack stiffened slightly as Lily stood and took the articles from Tia Dalma. "Thank you, it will be nice to cover my legs again." Lily set them down next to her chair. "No child, go and put those on before we get into this discussion, the men staring at you is starting to get on my nerves." All of the men coughed embarrassed and turned away.

Lily shyly walked to a room and dressed. She appraised herself in a puddle of black liquid in the corner of the gloomy little bedroom. She looked much more… androgynous than before, but at least she didn't look like a flaky tart. How did she know what size shoe I am? Oh wow, these clothes are really comfy. I can't wait to get on with this whole discussion, but dress the part of what I am? What is that? A man? Lily laughed quietly at her little joke and put her sword from the day previous on her hips in its belt. She took one more glance, and decided that the grey pants were really flattering on her figure. The white shirt and burgundy vest made her look much more womanly than she had thought, but it didn't really make her curves stand out either. She sighed and made a face at her tiny breasts. I bet Jack has seen way bigger, Ugh I'm such a loser…damn my tiny boobies. Last but not least she found a black leather tricorn and put it on her head. There, now I look gorgeous.

Lily walked out of the room, and there were a few low whistles. She did a little turn and laughed lightly beaming. She looked like a real pirate now, and the others didn't think she looked horrible. Everybody was in a good mood then, smiling and throwing polite compliments at her. Tia Dalma sat back watching everything smiling. She looked over at Jack who was beaming with pride, like a pirate becoming captain for the first time. She felt a twinge of jealousy for the young woman, but then had to correct her feelings. Jack has been in love with this girl before her birth, before she was even a thought in her parents' heads. She is his hero, and his only love truer than the sea. Lily tripped on her boot and fell into Ragetti's arms. He automatically blushed and his body stiffened. Lily sheepishly stood up. "Sorry, I lost my footing, I'm not used to these boots yet." Ragetti timidly spoke "No problem there, just be more careful." She nodded and walked towards the table again, but not before catching Jack's furious glares at Ragetti. Hm, I wonder what his problem is.

"Alright Tia Dalma, we should get this over with." Lily spoke as she sat in her small chair facing the table. The others all gathered around. Tia Dalma sat down, and an air of seriousness and tension spread around the room. Tia Dalma grabbed Lily's hand again and began to stare at it. She mumbled to herself, and bent down to grab a canister out from under her table. She opened it, and a spicy, incense like smell filled everyone's nostrils. She spit in the canister and then carefully rolled Lily's sleeve up revealing her wrist, and hand better. Then, she took the strange powder and shook some over Lily's tiny light olive colored hand. The powder began to fizzle and smoke. Lily began screaming. "WHAT THE HELL?" Tia Dalma put the canister away and nodded. "I knew she was the one." "What is that shit?" Lily asked wiping her hand on Pintel's coat. "It is a special kind of powder." Was all Tia Dalma said in reply. She grabbed Lily's hand again and nodded. A strange eye (The eye of Horus) appeared on the bottom side of her wrist. "GAH!" She yelled. Tia Dalma smiled, "It means that you are protected by a higher force." Lily just looked wide eyed at her new 'tattoo'. "So are you going to tell me who I am?" Tia Dalma sighed as if she had gone over this conversation in her head many times "You already know who you are, so there is no reason for you to ask. However, do you want to know why it is that you are here?" Lily began to get angry "Yeah, yeah a war…but why not someone else?" Tia Dalma shrugged "You're the chosen one, there have been writings about you for sometime now." Lily began to settle down and really listen, "What exactly am I supposed to do?"

Tia Dalma: "You are to call the pirates to a meeting, set free Calypso, defeat Davy Jones as well as the East India Trading Company, and right every wrong that has befallen us since the first brethren court… As well as captain a ship into the unknown world beyond this one and retrieve a certain treasure more valuable than anything in this world."

Lily: "How am I supposed to do all of this by myself?"

Tia Dalma: "You have a great crew and captain behind you, they know where you will first begin."

Lily: "You really expect me to do all of this? Have you seen me?"

Tia Dalma: "have you seen you? I see a determined, strong woman, who can persuade anyone to do anything, and you will become a master swordsman with the help of William Turner"'

Lily: "Where do I start? And what if I refuse this?"

Tia Dalma: "there is no refusing this child, it's your destiny. You will start on an island far across the sea near Africa where you will fight off a blood thirsty tribe of savages for the chest of the heart of Davy Jones."

Lily:" How do I get to said island?"

Jack Sparrow:" I have a compass love, I know exactly where we're going."

Lily: "How did this happen to me?"

Tia Dalma:" The gods decided it ages ago."

Lily: "You know I'll try to fight this, I don't want this, I have to find my little sister, I want to go home, not spend my time in a war, or with pirates."

Tia Dalma: "It's your destiny and that is final."

Lily pouted in her chair for a moment before looking at the witch again. She was humming and pulled out an old script. She handed it to Lily. "Here Child, this is you." Lily looked at the yellowing parchment and sighed. Then, she began to read. "All ye beware who are wicked. The devil himself cannot run. For with the girl with the Eye of God, the war of Pirates shall be won."

Everybody looked at her again. She blushed. "I guess it is me." Tia Dalma nodded and handed Jack a jar of dirt. "Take this, it will be of use to you."

Jack: Is the jar of dirt going to help?

Tia Dalma: If you don't want it, give it back.

Jack: No.

Tia Dalma: Then it helps.

They all quietly filed out of the witched house and went back to the ship.

Lily sat on the railings overlooking the shallow water turning into ocean water below them. Pondering all of the questions she had answered, as well as those that were new. For ages? I've been around for ages? How am I going to do all of this? She heard a shuffling of footsteps and looked up to see Will shyly making his way over. "I haven't disturbed you have I?" She shook her head. "No, I was just thinking, there's a lot I have to deal with ya know? Lettin it all sink in." Will nodded. "I suppose that's a good cause for sitting on the deck late at night. But you musn't worry Lily, we're here to protect you, and as soon as we have the heart we can call the court into order and stop Davy Jones and Beckett from ruling the sea, and pretty well the world." Lily sighed. "I'm just a kid, being 18 doesn't make me any tougher than if I was a year younger, Will, I have no idea where I am, or where I'm going." He just nodded and took out a dagger. "I know exactly what you mean Lily." He looked her head on "this life will be rewarding, I promise, there's just a lot you have to do before you can reap the benefits of this prophecy. But you're everybody's hero. The only hope we have against the demons of the sea." Her stomach got all funny feeling, and her legs became slightly weak. "Thanks Will, really, and I'm sorry about that whole stomach punch." He laughed and rubbed the back of his neck. "It's really no problem, I just know what it's like having to save the day." Just then, Jack Sparrow trudged on deck and walked over. "And just what is it that you all are doing?" "I couldn't sleep and Will came over to talk to me." Will quietly slipped away leaving Jack and Lily alone.

Jack: "Do you like the whelp?"

Lily: "No, of course not, he saw how shocked I am and came over to try to lighten the burden, which if you didn't realize is pretty heavy right now."

Jack: "You could talk to me love, I know what it is that you're fighting for. You should be proud. I know I am." He blushed and looked at her.
Jack: "You know love, I… " She looked at him and smiled. "Yes Jack?" He got closer to her, and grabbed her waist. Something in her snapped and she couldn't help but want him closer to her. "Lily, I've been waiting for you for so long now." Lily began to blush a deep crimson. He took her face in his hands. "And now you're really here, and I'll bloody kill anyone that stands in your way." He pushed his nose into hers and nuzzled it gently. She could feel his warm breath brushing across her face. She shut her eyes and sighed. Gently he pushed his lips to hers. Unfortunately for them, it felt as though a firework came up and smacked them right in the face, they began to grab each other closer, a carnal urge possessing them. Jack was in ecstasy she was finally here, and he was going to make sure that she was all his. Their tongues brushed against each other viciously.

Finally, they had to break for air. Both of them gasped wildly. Lily leaned on the railing for support, "I best be going to bed. Goodnight Jack." Lily yawned as she made her way to the broom closet that was now her makeshift bedroom, heart pounding and feelings every which way. Jack stood there watching her leave before shrugging taking a drink of rum and stumbling off to bed. Tomorrow, they would be nearing Africa.

A/N: I know, kinda dumb, :D But… w/e just R&R 3
