Dealing with Pirates- Ch 6

Hole. Hole. Hole. Hole. Air. Hole. I screamed in my head. I felt a hand pull my arm down. Will found a hole. We quickly swam through it and hit the surface. We both gasped unable to speak, too busy trying to fill our lungs with precious oxygen. I nodded my head to the Pearl where the crew was being herded. Once the Interceptor was far behind and we were climbing up the boat, a huge explosion came from our old boat.

"Well shit" I muttered "Definitely didn't leave anything for Davy Jones."

"What?" Will asked.

"Nothing" I replied and we both heard Elizabeth scream. Will's eyes widened in fear as he jumped onto the railing. "No! Don't do that!" I said furiously trying to catch his ankle. He pulled out his pistol.

"No!" He yelled "She goes free!"

"What's in your heard boy?' Barbossa asked. I ducked keeping out of sight.

"She goes free!" he repeated.

"Ya only got one shot, and we can't die!" he and the crew laughed.

"Don't do anything stupid." I hissed

"You can't, but I can!" Will turned the pistol holding it under his chin.

Barbossa is silent for a while till he asks "What's your name?"

I freaked out and jumped over the railing interrupting "Husband, He's my husband!" I offered earning so shocked, confused, and weird looks from both crews, but Jack came forward to saying he was a eunuch distant nephew of some sort. We glared at each other. "My husband who is just so related to Jack." I added with a hopeful smile turning to Barbossa

"My name is William Turner, the son of Boot-strap Bill Turner. His blood flows through my veins! On my word do as I say or I will pull this trigger and be lost in Davy Jones Locker."

"He's the spittin image of Boot-strap Bill come back to haunt us!" one of them said in ahw. I closed my eyes in annoyance scrunching my nose.

"What be your terms, Mr. Turner?" Barbossa asked

"Elizabeth goes free!" He yelled.

"Yes, they already know that." I scowled. Barbossa smirked at me probably knowing he was making deals with an amateur.

"Anything else?"

I saw Jack point to himself trying to get Will's attention. "Oh! And Jack! And the crew is not to be harmed!" I clenched my teeth. He didn't mention where to free them or when and how they will get off or anything of any importance!

Barbossa placed a hand on my shoulder looking back at Will "Agreed"

  I watched as Elizabeth was pushed unto the plank. "Barbossa you lying bastard! You swear she'd go free!" Will protected being held back.

  I was guarded next to Jack who had his hands bound. He leaned over and whispered "Any clever idea would be welcome about now." He frowned.

  "You're the clever one." I snapped

  "Not true!" He argued than realized he just called himself stupid causing me to snort holding back a laugh.

  "Too slow!" Someone yelled and kicked the plank causing Elizabeth to fall into the water. Jack was pushed forward next. I glanced over at Will who looked devastated. The crew all had their poker faces on but I could tell that the last place they wanted to be was in their spot they were in now.

  "It be only one shot, Jack. And you can be the gentleman and shoot the lady." Barbossa tossed Jack's effects in the water. Jack gave me a quick glance before jumping in after his belongings.
