The Pirate Inside of Me

The Pirate Princess and a Blacksmith

Will and I don't talk for a while. I was just too scared to face him. He finally got up and sat down next to me and tilted my chin towards him.

"What is the matter? I know something is bothering you." He says in a soothing voice, stroking my cheek.

"I'm just worried about Elizabeth. I go through everything with her and I don't want her to get hurt." I finally say. But honestly, I have doubts about my relationship with Will. He started to lean in, bringing my face closer to his.

"I having been meaning to tell you from the moment I met you. I have and always will love you." Will said gracefully. I didn't have time to say anything till Will captured his lips with mine. I wasn't expecting it and was shocked but didn't pull away. The kiss was magical and nothing I could barely describe. My heart and head started to race as he pulled me closer. I didn't want to stop. I broke the kiss to breathe and started to giggle. We were interrupted when the Black Pearl made port and Barbossa opened the brig.

"Time to go, lassie." Will laced his fingers through my own and led me outside into the longboat. Tears started to fall when we finally arrived at the Isle de Muerta. Will turns my chin and wipes it away.

"We'll find a way. I am not letting him kill you." Will assured.

"Even if we can't, I do love you as well." I say starting to tear up a again.

"Don't talk like that. We will find a way. I know we will." I looked down at his hands. Still gripping tight onto me. The crew separated me from Will and led Will to the chest. Not me. They were going to kill Will as well. My eyes widen when Barbossa grabs the knife and leans down to slit his throat.

"NO!!" I yell, thrashing around in the pirate's grip.

"Stop struggling, lassie. Or it is you who will go first."

"I much rather die before I see the man I love die before I do." I say strongly. The pirate seemed shock and grabbed me and raced over to Barbossa.

"The girl said she will die before the whelp." Barbossa seemed intrigued.

"Bring her up!" Barbossa said without hesitation.

"NO! CARINA! YOU CAN'T, BARBOSSA! CARINA!" Will screamed as he was taken down.

"You get to watch your girl die before you do." Barbossa said, as the crew started to laugh. All of a sudden, Jack Sparrow emerged from cave.

"JACK!" Me and Will scream at the same time.

"S'not possible." Barbossa says shocked.

"Not probable." Jack corrects.

"Where's Elizabeth?" I shout to Jack. She had to be safe. She had to.

"She's safe, just like I promised. She's all set to marry Norrington, just she promised. And you both get to die for her,  just like you promised. So we're all men of our word really except for you and Elizabeth, who are, in fact, women."

"Shut up! You're next." Barbossa leans in to slit my throat again.

"You don't want to be doing that, mate. To either them." Jack warns.

"No, I really think I do."

"Your funeral." Jack adds on loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Why don't I want to be doing it?"

"Well because-" He brushes a pirate's hand off of his shoulder and continues.

"Because the HMS Dauntless, pride of the Royal Navy, is floating just offshore. Waiting for you." Barbossa looked confused.

"Just hear me out, mate. You order your men to row out to the Dauntless. They do what they do best. Robert's your Uncle, Fannie's your aunt, there you are with two ships. The makings of your very own fleet. 'Course you'll take the grandest as your flagship, and who's to argue? But what of the Pearl? Name me Captain, I'll sail under your colors, I'll give you ten percent of me plunder and you get to introduce yourself as...Commodore Barbossa. Savvy?" Jack admits. I try and break free to attack him. He was lying the whole time.

"I s'pose in exchange, you want me not to kill the whelp and the girl." Barbossa says justifying pointing to me and Will.

"No, no, not at all by all means, kill them both, Just not yet. Wait to life the curse until the opportune moment. For instance..." Jack picks up a few medallions and throws them back in the chest as he speaks.

"After you've killed Norrington's men...every...last...one." I catch him pocketing one.

"You've been planning this from the beginning. Ever since you learned my name." Will says angry.

"Yeah." Jack says sarcastically.

"I want fifty percent of your plunder."

"Fifteen." Jack counters.

"Forty."

"Twenty-five. And I'll buy you the hat. A really big one...Commodore."

"We have an accord." Jack and Barbossa shake hands to conclude their agreement.

"All hands to the boats!" Jack orders. Barbossa gives him a look of askance.

"Apologies. You give the orders."

"Gents...Take a walk." The crew starts to leave as me and Will look at each other.
