Set on the voyage from Tortuga to Isla de Muerta. Jack's POV.
Drabble for the “Bootstrap Bill Turner” Challenge at Black Pearl Sails.


Where are you Bill? In what forsaken valley of the sea do you lie tonight? When I give Barbossa the blood of your only child, will you curse me before the sea crushes you? I promised you once if anything happened to you, I’d look after your boy, but I did not find him until now. And now I’m taking him to your murderer, to finish that murder with his own blood—with your blood. For vengeance. For the Black Pearl. Does it count, Bill, that I’ll go with him? That I won’t leave him alone with Barbossa? Or have I betrayed you as once I thought you had betrayed me. Will we see each other in that deepest circle of hell?

I have always wondered what he thought about this, knowing that killing Barbossa lifted the curse and meant that Bill was truly dead.

Yes, Jack is the only one who understands the curse immediately once he knows it's true. So he has to have an idea that Bootstrap is not dead, but he seems also to know that Bootstrap can't be rescued or why bother with his son? So Jack does have to contribute to the murder of his friend. Thank you for commenting.
