The Twin Sparrows

Choosing Sides

Sao Feng's Ship No POV

Elizabeth was given a change of clothing by two more of Sao Feng's handmaidens to a more Chinese dress as Sao Feng walked over saying something in Chinese. After he was done saying, he clapped his hands and the servants left.

Sao Feng:<grabs a leaf and twirls it in water> by this time tomorrow, we will arrive at Shipwreck Cove and you will be free. Calypso.

Elizabeth: excuse me?

Sao Feng: not a name you fancy, I imagine, out of the many that you have... but it is what we call you.

Elizabeth: we being who?

Sao Feng: you confirm it.

Elizabeth; confirm what? You've told me nothing.

Sao Feng: 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...

Elizabeth; to me.

Sao Feng: but one such as you should never be anything less than what you are.

Elizabeth: pretty speech from a captor. But words whispered through prison bars lose their charm.

Sao Feng: can I be blamed for my efforts? All men are drawn to the sea, perilous though it may be.

Elizabeth: and some men offer desire as justification for their crimes.

Sao Feng: I offer simply my desire.

Elizabeth; and in return?

Sao Feng: I would have your gifts, should you choose to give them.

Elizabeth; and if I should choose not?

Sao Feng; then I will take... your fury.

Sao Feng aggressively kisses Elizabeth then Elizabeth pushes him away as Sao Feng looked mad but then something broke through the wall and hit Sao Feng in the gut.

Outside

The Flying Dutchman was attacking the ship as both company soldiers and Jones's crew were attacking relentlessly as one pirate with an eel head blocked a sword and bit on the Pirate's head.

Inside

Elizabeth: Sao Feng?

Sao Feng:<has a big piece of wood through his gut> here... please...

Elizabeth walked over slowly but some rubble made her kneel down next to Sao Feng.

Sao Feng:<rips the piece of eight off his neck> with all nine pieces of eight... you will be free. Take it!

Elizabeth:<grabs it>

Sao Feng: you are Captain now.

Elizabeth; me?

Sao Feng:<brings her close> go in my place to Shipwreck Cove.

Tai:<runs in> Captain! The ship is taken. We cannot...

Sao Feng: forgive me... Calypso... <dies>

Tai:<takes his hat off>

Elizabeth: Sao. <stands up>

Tai: what did he tell you?

Elizabeth: he made me Captain.

Tai runs out as the company soldier and the Jones's men were rounding up the remains as Norrington was walking around. Two soldiers grabbed Tai and Elizabeth and put their blades at their throats.
