Narcissa Barbossa: At World's End

Captured

Narcissa and Elizabeth were brought to Sao Feng's ship and her sister was given more Chinese pirate clothing. Narcissa was not afforded the same curtesy though it mattered little to her. As the blond changed Elizabeth and Narcissa had a hurried conversation.

"What is it with pirates giving me a change of clothes?" commented Elizabeth.

"To be fair father was just offering you an option that wasn't a nightgown." Elizabeth tilted her head in agreement.

"Any idea of how we're going to get out of here? I mean as soon as they find out I'm not Calypso we're dead."

"Well, they are still going to shipwreck cove with the other pirates so hopefully we can escape when we get there and figure out some way to get Sao Feng off our backs," answered Narcissa.

Before Elizabeth could say anything else Sao Feng entered the room.

"By this time tomorrow, we will arrive at Shipwreck Cove and you will be free. Calypso."

"Excuse me?" said Elizabeth clearly still getting used to being addressed by the false name. Luckily Sao Feng didn't notice the difference.

"Not a name you fancy, I imagine, out of the many that you have...but it is what we call you.

"We being who?"

"Pirates as a whole," explained Narcissa and Sao Feng inclined his head.

"Indeed Miss Barbossa is correct. But you confirm it."

"Confirm what? You've told me nothing," said Elizabeth as Sao Feng advanced on them. Narcissa adjusted the knife she always kept up her sleeve ready to interfere if Sao Feng went too far.

"The Brethren Court, not I. The First Brethren Court, whose decision I would have opposed. They bound you to human form so the rule of the seas would belong to man and not..."

"To me," finished Elizabeth slipping into her role.

"But one such as you should never be anything less than what you are. Either of you in fact."

"Pretty speech from a captor," commented Narcissa hoping to draw attention off of her sister but to no avail. It seemed that while Sao Feng might have found her attractive in Singapore the combination of Elizabeth's beauty and supposed power as Calypso was more appealing.

"But words whispered through prison bars lose their charm," Elizabeth pointed out.

"Can I be blamed for my efforts? All men are drawn to the sea, perilous though it may be. And some men offer desire as justification for their crimes."

"Or they're just honest about their less than pure motives," said Narcissa once again ignored.

"I offer simply my desire," Sao Feng was now dangerously close to Elizabeth who asked.

"And in return?"

"I would have your gifts, should you choose to give them." Narcissa could see her sister's revulsion matched her own.

"And if I should choose not?" said Elizabeth swiftly. Sao Feng gave a cruel smile.

"Then I will take...your fury." He lunged at Elizabeth pressing his mouth to hers. As Elizabeth struggled Narcissa drove her hidden knife into Sao Feng's side. The surprise of the blow allowed Elizabeth to shove the man back.

He stumbled into the table looking furious. Sao Feng opened his mouth to say something only for a cannonball to suddenly rip through the side of the ship sending chunks of wood everywhere. Narcissa threw herself in front of Elizabeth pushing her back and hopefully out of harms way.
