six➵ misleading negotiations and marooned again

"The best way to not get your heart broken, is pretending you don't have one."

Evelyn's POV

    Not even two minutes later, and the entire crew is all tied up on a pole, except for Jack and I. Our wrists are bound and we're both being held by two of the largest men in their undead crew. Perfect.

    "If any of you as much as thinks the word "parley," I'll have your guts for garters." A bald man hisses at the crew as he walks by them with a gun ready and loaded.

    "How are we getting out of this?" I whisper to Jack as Barbossa and his crew start to ignite the powder leading to all the powder kegs on the Interceptor. Just as Jack is about to respond, an explosion catches all of us off guard and the next thing I see is the Interceptor up in flames, the ship completely destroyed. Oh god.

    "Will!" Elizabeth gets out from underneath the clearly very loose ropes that are holding them to the mast and starts hitting Barbossa but he turns around and grabs her wrist.

    "You've got to stop it! Stop it!" She shouts, going completely ballistic as she looks over at the fiery ship. Jack and I share a worried look as we watch Elizabeth.

    "Welcome back, Miss. You took advantage of our hospitality last time. It holds fair now that you return the favor." Barbossa laughs in her face as he shoves Elizabeth into the crowd of pirates. As she screams loudly and they all try to touch her, I quickly move out of the man's grip and rush over to help her.

    "You also took advantage of us, Evelyn. I gave you the option but you chose naught," He smirks and before I know it, I'm also being dragged into their crowd.

    "Don't touch me." I growl at the men but they continue to laugh and pull me in further. That's when I notice Will suddenly appear on the side of the ship, right in front of everyone.

    "Barbossa!" Will shouts and I find a smile creeping onto my lips.

    "Will," Elizabeth breathes, struggling to get free of the lustful pirates grip. I knee one of the men in his area and he falls to the ground, instantly the rest of the pirates back off of me and Elizabeth stands next to me.

    "They go free." Will points his gun right at Barbossa and he just stares at him.

    "What's in your head, boy?" He snidely asks.

    "They go free." He repeats, aiming the gun even closer to his forehead and I look over to see Jack silently pleading with Will through his eyes. For what, I'm not sure yet.

    "You've only got one shot, and we can't die." Barbossa replies, and at this a look of confusion and despair strides across Will's face when he seems to get an idea.

    "Don't do anything stupid," Jack says to himself, clenching his eyes closed and I silently agree with him.

    "You can't." Will does the most idiotic thing ever and points the gun towards his neck, "But I can." A huge sigh can be heard from Jack and I.

    "Like that." I whisper and Will gives me a look.

    "Who are you?" Barbossa finally asks and I'm about to jump out and say something but Jack beats me to it.

    "No one. He's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though – eunuch." Jack rambles on and I doubt anyone, even without Will saying what he says next, would've believed him.

    "My name is Will Turner . My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins." I can see Jack's eyes close as he processes Will's words. The entire crew processes this as well as they all begin to murmur about themselves. I take a step away from all the pirates but two of them quickly grab me and pull me back into place. Jack turns and notices but gives me a sympathetic look, knowing he can't do anything.
