Pilferer: POTC

Bargaining With Barbossa

Mary's POV

We managed to escape the ship before it blew up. We swim over to the Pearl to hear Elizabeth screaming. Will climbs up onto the deck yelling Barbossa's name. I climb up but stay out of sight, waiting fro the opportune moment. "She goes free" he orders cocking a pistol.

"What's in your head boy?" Barbossa demands. Yeah, what is he thinking?

"She goes free" Will repeats.

"You have only one shot and we can't die" Barbossa reminds him.

"You can't, I can" Will states.

"Who are you?" Barbossa asks us.

"No one. He's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though, eunuch" I hear Jack say and roll my eyes.

"My name is Will Turner . My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins" Will states.

"He's the spitting image of old Bootstrap Bill come back to haunt us" I hear Ragetti say. Or is it Pintel? I can't remember.

"On my word do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones' Locker" Will tells Barbossa.

"Name your terms, Mr. Turner" Barbossa tells him.

"Elizabeth goes free" Will says.

"Yes, we know that one. Anything else?" Barbossa asks him.

"And the crew are not to be harmed" Will states.

"Agreed" Barbossa says.

"Not so fast" I sneer putting my knife to Will's throat.

"Ah the pilferer, wondered where you had gotten too" Barbossa sneers.

"You are to continue honouring our original deal" I tell him firmly. "Or say goodbye to Mr Turner" I sneer.

"You won't hurt him, it's against your code" he states.

"A pilferer will do anything to avoid being caught. Honour our deal and you can have Turner. You drop me off at an inhibited Port, that's not Port Royal with a chest of treasure. We never cross paths again" I state.

"Very well, we have an accord" he tells me and I release Will. We is taken by several of Barbossa's men. The crew are lead below deck.

"Now, look at that" I tell Barbossa spotting an island. "You know I think it's time you kept your deal with Mr Turner" I say. He looks at the island and smirks nodding his head.

"Let go anchor and prepare the plank" Barbossa orders.

"Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she'd go free!" Will yells.

"Don't dare impugn me honor, boy. I agreed she'd go free. But it was you who failed to specify when or where" Barbossa reminds him smugly as Will is gagged.

"And how" I add.

"Though it does seem a shame to lose something so fine, don't it lads?" Barbossa asks his crew.

"Aye" they say.

"So I'll be having that dress back before you go" Barbossa tells Elizabeth and I give him a pointed look. Elizabeth removes it leaving her in her under-dress. Then throws it at him.

"Goes with your black heart" she sneers.

"Ooh, it's still warm" Barbossa says and tosses it to his crew. Who encourage her onto the plank.

"Can we get rid of Sparrow too? He annoys me greatly" I tell him quietly. He nods his head mutely and I smirk looking at Jack. Bye bye Sparrow.

"Too long!" Bosun says stomping on the plank making Elizabeth fall into the water. Jack is pushed onto the plank. Jack turns to look at Barbossa and I.

"I'd really rather hoped we were past all this" Jack says looking at Barbossa.

"No, we have not. Besides the pilferer here does not like you" Barbossa tells him. "Anyway. Did ya not notice? That be the same little island that we made you Governor of on our last little trip" he says pointing to the island.

"I had noticed and why don't you like me luv? All girls love me" Jack states.

"I'd never fall for a pirate" I sneer. "Lets make one thing clear before you leave Jack. You harm Elizabeth in anyway and I find out. I'll hunt you down" I promise. "Now is there not a code to follow?" I ask Barbossa.

"She's right, last time you left me a pistol with a single shot" Jack tells Barbossa.

"By the powers, you're right. Were be Jack's pistol? Bring it forward" Barbossa orders and it's brought to him.

"Seeing as there's two of us, a gentleman would give us a pair of pistols" Jack tells him.

"No, it'll be one pistol as before. And you can be the gentleman and shoot the lady and starve to death yourself" Barbossa tells him.

"Besides Elizabeth is no pirate, the code does not apply to her" I add. Barbossa tosses Jack's pistol over board. Jack dives after it.

"Weigh anchor and fall sails, back to Isle De Muerta. Lock Turner in the brig along with the Pilferer" Barbossa orders.

"Hey, we had a deal!" I shout as Pintel and Ragetti grab a hold of my arms.

"And it will be honoured, but we did not agree that you'd have free rain of my ship. Enjoy the brig" he tells me. I'm taken away with Will and placed in a cell with him.

"They couldn't even give me my own cell" I grumble as I sit on the bench. Oh well, it'll be over soon. I'll be paid and will be free soon. Though I do feel a little bad for leaving Elizabeth with Jack. But at least she's not alone. Besides she's smart, they won't be on that island long. I pray Barbossa won't make me witness Will's death. I wonder what he'll do with the crew? Calypso only knows.
