Dead

I helped the other's to get into the longboat when I looked to Jack and saw him and Elizabeth hugging. I smiled to myself with an uneasing feeling. Elizabeth then climbed into the boat with us. "Where's Jack?" I asked her immediately. "He elected to stay behind to give us a chance." Elizabeth said, and my eyes widen. "What? no!" I said and stood up, only for Elizabeth to pull me back down again. "It was his wish; come on." She said and pulled me back. "No! NO! Let me go! I'd rather die with him then leave him die alone!" I yelled, but now also Will was pulling me down and holding me in his arms, so I wouldn't break free. "Will let me go! Let me the fuck go!" I yelled at him, and tears came up in my eyes. "Will! I swear to god!" I yelled out. "Go now!" Will yelled at the other's, and they started getting us away from their pearl. "No! No! Jack, no!" I yelled, but it was no use. In the distance we saw as the pearl was teaken down by the kraken and with it, Jack. I felt numb. I was lying in Elizabeth's arms as she was trying to comfort me, and we made our way to the only person we could go to, Tia Dalma.

I was sitting on a chair in the corner, and Tia Dalma walked over to me and offered me something to drink. "Against the cold," she said and itook it. "Thank you." I mumbled. She then pulled out a blanket and put it over my shoulders. I just looked at her with teary eyes. "It's a shame. I know you're thinking that with the pearl, you could have captured the devil and set free your father's soul." She then said to Will. "doesn't matter now. The pearl is gone. Along with it's captain." Will answered. "Aye. And already the world seems a bit less bright. He fooled us all right till the end, but I guess that honest streak finally won out. To Jack Sparrow." Gibbs said and raised his cup. The other's followed his action. "Never another like Captain Jack." Ragetti said. "He was a gentelman of fortune, he was." Pintel said. "He was the best captain and friend the world has ever seen." I said and felt the other's looks on me. "If there was anything that could be done to bring him back... Y/N..." Will started. "Would you do it?" Tia Dalma asked. "Hm, what would you? What would any of you be willing to do? Would you sail to the ends of the earth and beyond to fetch back witty Jack and his preceious Pearl?" She asked us. "Aye." I answered immediately. "Aye." Gibbs. "Aye." Ragetti. "Aye" Pintel. "Aye, aye," said Cotton's Parrot. "Yes..." Elizabeth mumbled. - And Will also nodded. "Aye." "Alright, but if you go and brave the weird and haunted shores, at world's end, then you will need a captain that knows those waters." She said, and just then we heard food steps, and we all looked in the direction. The stirs down stepped, Barbossa. "So tell me, what's become of my ship?" He asked and grinned at us.

I quickly stood up, poitning at him. "Why are you alive!?" I yelled. Barbossa smirked at me, like it was the most normal thing in the world. "Ah, life and death are tricky things, lass. Let's just say, I don't stay down for long." I frowned, crossing my arms. "But you died! I saw it! How can you be here?" He stepped forward, tapping his cane on the floor. "Aye, I did die. But death, well... it didn't suit me." I blinked, trying to process his words, frustration bubbling up inside me. "That doesn't make any sense! You can't just... decide to come back!" Barbossa just chuckled, clearly ignoring my confusion. "Believe what ye want, lass. But we've got a long journey ahead, and I'm your captain now." I looked around at the others, hoping someone else was as shocked as I was. "Is anyone else bothered by this? Or is it just me?" Gibbs just shrugged. "With Barbossa, I've stopped askin' questions." Pintel nodded. "Aye, he's like a bad penny—always turns up." Ragetti leaned in and whispered to me, "Maybe he made a deal with the sea... or something worse." I threw up my hands, feeling defeated. "Alright, fine. But if he drops dead again, don't say I didn't warn you." Barbossa just grinned wider, tipping his hat. "Trust me, lass, I'm not goin' anywhere."
