Nora Raven in At World's End

The Heart

The Flying Dutchman used the inner, faster moving water of the whirlpool to cut in behind the Black Pearl. Cannon balls flew at us from the stern, one of them taking off a steering wheel pin. I duck before I get hit and glare at the Dutchmen.

The Dutchman and the Pearl spun broadsided to each other. The other ships were faded into the mist and rain. The two ships are drawn closer in the ever-tightening circle of the whirlpool.

The giant masts of the two ships tilted toward each other. Our enemies used the ropes to swing and cross. I ready my sword and fight against those coming at me. I get knocked down and smirk, as I see Frida with a grenade and she threw it. I grabbed her, rolling away from the blast.

She held onto me, as I put my sword away and swung a rope to the Dutchman.

The two masts swung together and I watched, as Jack was fighting with Jones. He got knocked off the mast and screamed holding onto the chest as Jones had the other handle. Jones lifted it up and down a few times. I watched Jack fall with his grip gone on the chest.

I swung at Jones knocking him off with my feet and grabbed Jack's hand before he fell into the whirlpool. I smirked and looked at him surprised at first. "Hello darling."

He smiled and we landed on the Dutchmen. "Hello love."

I laughed and drew my sword  fighting against a crew member of the Dutchmen. "We do this together like always!"

He smirked and clashed swords with another crewman. "Aye love!"

Jones came at Jack and I used my leg to kick back the crew mate. I smile and see the key to the chest being dragged by a tentacle and grab it. I handed it to Jack, as he fought Jones.

Jack was knocked down and I ran towards Jones,as he laughed, turning and strode towards the chest And Elizabeth swings in, drops down in front of the chest.

Jones yelled at her. "Harridan! You'll see no mercy from me!"

Elizabethe raised her sword and I attacked jones with her. "That's why I brought this."

Jones sneered and stuck swords with us. Will looked over and I was knocked off the ship. I held onto the railing for my life, looking at the whirlpool below me.. Jones wadded in and had beaten Elizabeth backwards.

I climbed back aboard the Dutchman  Elizabeth was backhanded by Jones's claw. I land on my stomach and look up as a sword was plunged right through his chest. Jones looked over his shoulder, and Will was behind him and I looked at Jack who had the heart in his hands and looked heartbroken.

If he stabs it then things for us will be hard.. only every ten years will I see him..

Jones looked down and snickered. "Missed. Did you forget? I am a heartless wretch."

Jones took the sword and I looked at Will with no weapon. He looked at Elizabeth and then at Jones. Will backed away helpless. I looked and noticed what was going to happen.

Jones smirked. "Ah, love. A dreadful bond.. Yet so easily severed. Tell me,
William Turner." Jones raised his own sword. "Do you fear death?"

"Do you?" Jack stood there with the heart in his hand and his broken sword. He squeezed it and Jones staggered back, clutching at his chest.
Jack smiled getting the situation under control.

Jones regained his balance.. and thought about how he could get control back.

Jack smirked and continued. "It's a heady tonic... holding life and death in the palm of your hand."

Jones glared at him. "You are a cruel man, Jack Sparrow. Self-serving and dishonest."

Jack smirked knowing it was true. "Self-serving and dishonest I'll give you, but cruel is a matter of perspective, is it not?"

"Is it?" Jones smiled and stabbed Will with Norrington's sword. Elizabeth and I cried out as we rushed to Will. I started crying and hugged him. "Will stay with us! No!"

Bootstrap must have came to his senses because he lunged at Jones devastated. Jones was knocked down and I didn't let go of Elizabeth and Will. I looked at Jack with a pleading look on my face.

He came over with the heart and put Will's hand on the hilt and stabbed the heart. I watch as Jones falls into the sea and the pearl got away from the Dutchmen.

I back away from Will, as I know what is happening. The Dutchmen needed a captain. Jack gathered the ropes of a flapping sail and fired his pistol which blasted the knot away.

We wrapped our arms around him as we were lifted from the deck by the wind-fill sail. We landed into the ocean near the Black Pearl.
