The Twin Sparrows

Pirate Battle

Interceptor No POV

Will and Elizabeth were in the lower deck.

Elizabeth: <trying to bandage her hand> what sort of man trades a man's life for a ship?

Will: pirate. Here. Let me.

Elizabeth: thank you.

Will: you said you gave Barbossa my name as yours. Why?

Elizabeth: I don't know.<gasps>

Will: I'm sorry. Blacksmith's hands. I know they're rough.

Elizabeth: no. I mean, yes, they are, but... don't stop.

They both lean close to each other.

Will: Elizabeth.

Elizabeth trails Will's hand down to her cleavage and he looks a little embarrassed but it goes away when Elizabeth puts the medallion in his hand.

Elizabeth: it's yours. <yanks the chain off her neck>

Will: I thought I'd lost it the day they rescued me. It was a gift from my father. He sent it to me. Why did you take it?

Elizabeth: because I was afraid that you were a pirate. That would have been awful.

Will:<realizes> it wasn't your blood they needed. It was my father's blood. My blood. <grips the medallion> the blood of a pirate.

Elizabeth; I'm so sorry. Please forgive me.

Will slams the medallion into the table as that kind of scared Elizabeth and she went away to give him some space.

Black Pearl

Barbossa: so you expect to leave me on some beach with nothing but a name and your word it's the one I need and watch you sail away on my ship?

Wade:<looks at Jack while feeding Monkey Jack some fruit>

Jack: no. I expect to leave you on some beach with no name at all, watching me sail away on my ship, and then I'll shout the name back at you. Savvy?

Wade:<looks at Barbossa still doing the same thing>

Barbossa: that still leaves me on some beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need.

Jack: of the two of us, I am the only one who hasn't committed mutiny. Therefore, my word is the one we'll be trusting. Although, I suppose we should be thanking you, because, in fact, if you hadn't betrayed us and left us to die, we would have an equal share in that curse, same as you.<takes a bite out of an apple> funny old world, isn't it?

Barbossa; hmm.

Jack: but you must agree that if we were to have anyone's word is Wade's.

Barbossa; aye. The honest one. I must say, Wade, I am truly sorry for not hearing your warning. You were just trying to save us from a cruel fate.

Wade:<nods>

Bosun: Captain. We're coming up on the Interceptor.

Monkey Jack ran out as they all went out, Jack grabbed a rope and used it to not fall over the edge when he looked over the rail of the Pearl. Jack went to where the steering wheel was along with Wade. Barbossa takes out a spyglass and looks through it.

Jack:<gets in front of him> I'm having a thought here, Barbossa. What say we run up a flag of truce, we scurry over to the Interceptor, and we negotiate the return of your medallion? What you say to that?

Barbossa: I say that's the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easier to search when they're dead. Lock them in the brig.

The Bosun grabbed Jack and took him away as Wade followed. Barbossa took Jack's apple and saw the bite as he just threw the apple overboard in anger.
