The Heart Of The Sea: A Pirates of the Caribbean Story

Hanging

Tempe stood on the Dauntless watching as all of the pirates surrendered. Many were dead from wounds sustained during the fight but those still alive were on their knees begging for mercy. Soldiers cuffed them and took them below deck to the brig.

"You're a good fighter for a woman." Norrington stated from behind her. She grunted.

"I'm hoping that's a compliment and not a sexist comment." She chuckled he nodded.

"Sorry. You're a good fighter. Better than many of my Soldiers." She nodded.

"Thats better. And thank you. You're not so bad yourself for a stuck up, wig wearing, stick in the mud." She smiled sweetly. He rolled his eyes.

"You know what Teague. I take it back." He shook his head and smiled lightly. "What will you do after this?" She looked at him seriously and shrugged.

"What I've always done. Survive. You can take me back to Tortuga. It's my home." She fiddled with her hands. He nodded.

"Are you sure that's what you want?" She nodded.

"Yeah, I'm positive. It was nice knowing you Borington." She mocked playfully. He shook his head laughing. She walked away quickly.

..........The Cave.......

Abigail stood in the cave and picked up and oar to get the boat ready to head back to the Dauntless. Will watched her. Elizabeth came up beside him. 

"Just tell her before it's too late." She looked at him. He sighed. "She cares for you as you do for her."

"Im not good enough for her. I'm just the son of a pirate." Elizabeth shook her head.

"You're so much more. She sees that." Elizabeth walked away. Will watched Abigail and shook his head.

Isobel watched Will in disbelief as he walked away from where he was standing and away from Abigail. The sound of crashing came from behind her making her jump in shock. She turned around and saw Jack messing with the piles of gold.

"Are you seriously going through the piles of gold?" She asked incredulously. He looked at her and nodded.

"Aye. I'm a pirate I'm drawn to shiny things." She rolled her eyes. "You're drawn to the sea I'm drawn to gold luv. It's not that different." He came to stand beside her.

"You do realize all this gold means nothing if you're dead right?" She asked he chuckled.

"Ah you mean the hanging that I'll be leaving early. I'm Jack sparrow I don't die." He stated seriously.

"Right. Well, in case that philosophy doesn't work out. I'm sorry this is happening if it was up to me I'd let you go." He smirked teasingly.

"Admit it luv. You like me much to let me die." He winked. She scoffed.

"You're repulsive." She stated and walked away. He laughed to himself.

"And You're in denial!" He yelled after her. She looked at him as she walked and sge tripped over a pile of gold and fell to the ground. "See You're already falling for me!"

"Oh shut up!" She yelled back as she stood up and marched away.

.............Port Royal........

Abigail stood beside Elizabeth at the hangman noose. Isobel stared at Jack as the rope went around his neck.

"It's a shame. He should be pardoned." Abigail muttered. James looked at Abigail and shook his head.

"We're not above the law. He must pay for hus actions." Isobel sighed.
