The Prophecy [Book 1] {POTC} (Jack Sparrow)

Nine

As the Black Pearl sailed away, the Interceptor's crew was tied around the main mass. Elizabeth and Thalassa were next to each other, whispering about Will. Elizabeth looked at the Interceptor with tearful eyes. She struggled against the ropes and slipped from them to run to the side of the ship as the Interceptor exploded. "Will!" The girls screamed.

"You godless pirate!" Elizabeth attacked Barbossa but he held her arms down and chuckled.

"Welcome back, miss. You took advantage of our hospitality last time. It holds fair now you return the favor." He pushed Elizabeth into a group of pirates, making her scream. Behind the group, Thalassa quietly slipped from the ropes.

"Barbossa!" Shouted a voice. Everyone turned their heads to see William standing on the side of the ship drenched with water. He cocked the gun in his hand. "The girls go free," he ordered.

"What's in your head, boy?"

"The girl's go free," Will repeated.

"You've only got one shot and we can't die," Barbossa reminded him.

"You can't. I can." Will pointed the gun at the side of his head.

"Who are you?" Barbossa asked him.

"No one. He's no one," Jack said as he approached Barbossa. "A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew, twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though. Eunuch," Jack whispered.

"My name is Will Turner!" Will announced to the ship. "My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. HIs blood runs in my veins."

"He's a spitting image of ol' Bootstrap Bill, come back to haunt us!" Ragetti shouted as he pointed at Will.

"On my word, do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones' locker!"

"Name your terms, Mr. Turner," Barbossa said.

"The girls go free," Will repeated once again.

"Yes, we know that one. Anything else?"

"And the crew. The crew are not to be harmed."

"Agreed," Barbossa said with a smirk.

The ship sailed to a smaller island, leaving the ruins of the Interceptor behind. Thalassa hands were bound once again and her dress was ripped from her body, leaving her wearing her thin underdress.

The girls were to walk the plank and Thalassa was chosen to go first. She walked across the small wooden plank, each step more careful than the last. Fear made her teeth rattle. Her hands were bound, how was she to swim? Would Elizabeth help her?

"Jump! Jump! Jump!" The pirates chanted.
Thalassa froze near the end of the plank. She looked down at the water and felt her heart beat extra fast. "Get on with it!" A larger pirate walked across the plank and pushed her into the water. Thalassa fell into the ocean and frantically kicked her legs.

Elizabeth (her hands were not tied) was thrown into the ocean after Nessa. She fell right on top of her friend, her legs kicking Nessa's head.

Elizabeth gasped for air as she kicked her feet in the strong waves. She watched Barbossa drop a sword and a pistol into the water and Jack dive after them. Jack swam to the bottom to fetch his sword and the pistol, and then swam back to the Elizabeth. He shoved the pistol and the sword into her arms. "Thalassa!" Elizabeth screamed.

"I know! I know!" Jack dove back into the water and grabbed Thalassa's unconscious body, and carried her to the small island that was near.
