Deadly Waters

Seven Pieces of Eight

Ammand's crewmen were taken by surprise. We blew The Jade Dragon to bits before they could do anything. While the cannons blew The Jade Dragon to pieces I used a rope and swung over. I grabbed Ammand, but, he pulled away from me. He knew he didn't have a chance so he wanted to go down with his ship.

That's the only way a ship can be sunk properly. I narrowed my eyes and yanked Ammand so hard it sent both of us around the main mast of The Jade Dragon, twice! "Come on!" I yelled dragging Ammand nearer to the Black Pearl.

"No!" he yelled and cut the rope I swung on with his sword. I fell to the deck, hard. After recouping  I jumped up and ran after him, he quickly turned around and yanked his sword out of his holster. I did the same.

Except, my sword glowed red.

My sword clashed against his and it made a great clatter, then, I heard a hissing noise. Not of an animal but of something being melted by a brander. I put my sword down for a moment and where my sword had touched Ammand's it melted a gap! I gave an evil smile. Ammand's once over-confident smile morphed into a puppy dogs, scared, and helpless expression. Ammand gulped and easily walked backwards, he hit something.

 Jack.

"Sorry, mate...can't let you do that, now can we?" Jack said, I gave a witty smile. All of a sudden the main mast cracked in half and fell through the deck, sea water started to gush onto the deck. I grabbed Ammand and threw him over to the Black Pearl. Jack and I both jumped over to the Black Pearl, barley making it.

 Our crew surrounded Ammand. I took one last glance over at his ship, which was now a new home to the fish. I walked over to Ammand and the crowd split for me. I stood infront of Ammand, two inches away from his face. "Take this pestilent, traitorous, cow-hearted, yeasty, codpiece to the brig" I hissed, Pintel and Regetti came out of no where and grabbed Ammand by the arms, laughing as they led him down, to the brig.

"C'mon, Codpiece!" Pintel laughed dragging Ammand's left arm.

"Yeah, yeah! C'mon, cow-heart!" Regetti yelled laughing along with Pintel. I smiled.

"Well, at least someone's having fun" I said watching them go down to the brig.

"They're not having fun, love...they're drunk as pigs" Jack said coming up behind me, worry spread over me.

"Gibbs, go make sure they lock Ammand right!" I yelled, Gibbs nodded and ran down below deck. I turned around to Jack. He had a full bottle of rum in one hand and the cork in the other, I grined "I'll question him later" I said, Jack lowered the bottle, then held it out to me.

I smiled and took a few gulps from the bottle before Jack could steal it back again, I pushed it away from his lips and, instead, placed my lips on his.

He did not protest.

After a while of the glorious thing called kissing Jack accidentily touched the raw scars on my back, I cried out through his lips. He broke the kiss and apologized, moving his hand down to my rump and squeezing. I giggled and he tossed up the rum bottle again, drinking a few huge gulps. He held it out to me once more, I smiled and declined. "More for me" he said, kissing my cheek, and the bottle went back up.

I rolled my eyes playfully and decided it was later. I walked down to the brig, Ammand was sitting on the bench "given up...have you?" I asked walking to the front of the bars.

"Not given up...just, didn't see the point" Ammand said standing up as I approached.

"I'm just going to cut to the point...where is the chest, Ammand?...I know you know where it is...the fate of pirates...the fate of you and I rest on that heart" I said. Ammand started to laugh then turned away from me.

"The fate of pirates and you might rest on that chest but not I...you see, lass...the heart is safely aboard The Endeavour...you see, I made a deal with Maldoff....I am a privateer now, Britney" Ammand said, I narrowed my eyes at the traitor.

"Then you have made a deal with the devil" I hissed, I turned away from the bars and smiled "Master Gibbs!" I yelled with a evil smile.

"Yes, Captain!" Gibbs said walking over to me.

"We have no further need of Captain Ammand"

"Captain?" Gibbs asked worryingly. I turned back to Ammand and held the bars.

"I hope you have chosen your successor, Ammand" I growled, then I looked at Gibbs and nodded, I walked away and halfway up the stairs gunfire pieced the minimal talking among the crew. "Thank you, Captain Ammand" I mumbled to myself as I walked up the stairs, to the main deck.
