Week in the Shack

(Day one) Becky's POV

I slept in a spare room the night dad left with Will and the crew. Tia Dalma gave me some new clothes to wear and I had a bath. Before putting the on and brushed my long brown hair. Now I sit at the table with Tia Dalma as we ate breakfast. "So how are we bringing my uncle back? And how can I help?" I ask her.

"I'll find his soul and offer him a deal. If he accepts I'll return his soul to his body, but it'll still take a few days for his wound to heal. All you need do is be a witness to ensure he keeps his word" she explains.

"So you have his body?" I ask and she nods her head to the room Jack had run into when he was released. "When do we begin?" I ask.

"Soon, but first you have much to learn" she states. I give her a confused look. "Your mother was a dear friend of mine as well as a witch. I am going to show you how to use your powers" she explains.

"What powers?" I ask her confused. "I have none" I state.

"You do, I feel it inside of you and I'll help you access it. Then show you how to control it" she states. So that's what we did the rest of the day and we managed to tap into my energy. That made me feel warm, tingly and strong. "Once you have control we'll bring your uncle back" she tells me that night. I nod my head and then go to bed exhausted.

(Few days later)

"Lit the candles and say the incantation I taught you" Tia tells me. Nodding my head I focus my mind on the candles and the lit up. I place the sword in the middle and hold my hands over it.

"Virtute lunae ac solis. Astrictum esse iubeo interficere gladio mortuum" I say. (Translation: By the power of the moon, sun and fire. I command this sword be reforged to kill the dead). Then repeat it two more times. Suddenly the sword glows bright red like when it was taken out of a burning flame. When the light disappeared my sword looks different with runes on the blade. (Sword: https://static.shoplightspeed.com/shops/605536/files/000741654/forum-novelties-long-pirate-sword.jpg).

"You have finally mastered you abilities. But still have much to learn" Tia Dalma tells me as she examines the sword. "It can now kill the dead and cursed" she states handing it to me. "Only you will be able to wield it and do so wisely" she adds.

"I will" I assure her as I sheath the sword.

"Tomorrow we will find your uncle's soul and I will offer him the deal" Tia Dalma tells me. "You must rest now as it will be a tiring journey to the other side. To find your uncle's soul" she states. I nod my head and return to my room. I take off my boots, belt, hat and place them on a table with my new magic forged sword.

(Next day)

We sit in uncle's room either side of him. "No focus on your magic and uncle, don't let go of my hand" Tia Dalma tells me. Nodding my head I close my eyes and focus on my magic. Tia Dalma began to chant and I soon feel cold. "Open your eyes child and remember don't let go of my hand" she reminds me. I do as I'm told and see we're in an apple orchard.

"Who dare intrudes?" a voice asks behind us and we turn to see Uncle Hector.

"Uncle Hector" I say smiling and wish I could hug him.

"Becky, Tia Dalma do what do I owe the pleasure?" he asks.

"I have a proposition for you Barbossa and if you accept my terms. I can bring you back to life, but know this. Until you fulfill your vow to me, your life is in my hands" Tia Dalma tells him.

"What is it you propose?" he asks leaning against a tree.

"I am the Goddess Calypso and have been bond in this form for a very long time. Only with the nine pieces of eight, can I be freed. You know the ritual and the song will be sung soon. If you give me your word that you'll free, then I'll bring you back to life. Do we have a deal?" she asks holding a hand out to him.

"We do" Uncle Hector states after thinking. He grabs her hand and we're pulled back to the land of the living. I open my eyes to see a small sphere floating on Tia Dalma's hand.

"Is that?" I start to ask.

"Your uncle's soul" she states and opens his mouth. Then tips the soul into it and my uncle starts to breath again. "Now he must rest" she tells me and we leave the room.

(Two days later)

Uncle is recovering well and is now awake moving around. Tia Dalma saw the others returning this evening. So we prepared hot beverages for them. Uncle Hector waiting for the right moment to reveal himself. While I was looking forward to seeing Dad and Will again. But I know Tia Dalma was hiding something important from me.
