"You won't kill him. You need him!" Lorena hissed out as Blackbeard turned to Quartermaster.
"Quartermaster. Get me six more pistols, remove the shot from all but two, but do not tell me WHICH two, you get to choose, Ms. Sparrow,"
"Oh," Lorena says as she points at one of them "No....mm-mm. No... Is there another way to do this?" Lorena asks as Jack looks impatient.
She sighs as she finally chooses one.
"Yes?" She offers a small one.
"You're sure? This is your brothers life on the line,"
"Lorena I just want you to know I love you.... I'll forever love you,"
"I love you too Jackie and 'Course I am. I'm Lorena Sparrow always right," she says as Blackbeard points the pistol at Jack, Philip grips his cross necklace. But the pistol just clicks as Lorena lightly breaths out a sigh of relief.
"Well. Won'tcha look at that." He says as he hands the pistol over to Gunner.
"Again,"
"Please. They're not even loaded I bet,"
Lorena grabs one, and the crew behind them ducks. Fires it into the sky, and they cower. Jack and Angelica look shocked as Lorena gently put the pistol down.
"Again,"
"If you're so keen on killing him, why don't you just let both of us jump?"
"What?!" Jack asks shock.
Lorens gives him a surprised look.
"If you jump, and die...THEN he  will have his chance after watching him suffer at the loss of you. Again."
Lorena smiles slightly, then sidles over to the Quartermaster.
"Hey If I jump ...will I survive?"
"The doll." He responds as Angelica hands it to him. He starts muttering something and then tosses the doll over the cliff. Lorena screams as it does so. A splashing is heard, and the Quartermaster turns around.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" She screams and shuts up instantly. "Ummm..... Sorry is in order?"
"Yes. Now you will survive,"
Jack throws his hat to the ground in anger; and Lorena looks worried for him.
"THIS IS NONSENSE! I'M GOING! MY SISTER SHOULDNT HAVE TO! William take care of her," he says as he marches over to the cliff, but Lorena runs past him and jumps herself.
"LORENA NO!" Jack shouted as she started to scream. AAAAAAAAAAUUGGH!" she screams as she splashes into the river. Everyone goes over to look.
"LORENA!" Will shouted when she didn't pop her head back up in the water. "WHY DID YOU MAKE HER GO?!" Will shouts anger in his eyes.
"Wait Will look," Jack says as Will looked at him to see him wipe his eyes.
Will quickly goes back over the edge with him to see Lorena in fits of coughs.
"LORENA!" Both of them yelled out in relief.
"I'M OKAY GUYS! I LOVE BOTH OF YOU!"
"YOU COME BACK TO US LORENA SPARROW YOU HERE ME?!"
"ALWAYS WILL COME BACK FOR YOU BIG BROTHER!" She shouted before swimming away.
Lorena runs very fast through the jungle, comes to a clearing. She trips and falls due to her clumsy self. She whacks a bush nonsensically with her sword. Runs along a beach and comes to an enormous archway. The Santiago is perched on the very top.
"The Santiago. Famously captained by Ponce de Leon. Ain't that right Jackie?" She asks as she looks behind herself. "Oh. There's no one there. Right, then. I still cant believe that bastard separated us," she mumbles as she heads to the cliff.
Lorena climbs, and the Santiago is now very close. She appears in its cabin. Spots the skeleton in the bed.
"Ponce de Leon," she whispers to herself.
"If forty pirates dreamt forty nights of treasure, it would not match the contents of this room," Lorena heard a familiar voice say as she gasped.
"You. Out of everyone in the world why in bloody hell did I have to be stuck with you?" She asks as Barbossa appears out of the shadows.
"LOVE!" He shouted smiling as Lorena sighed.
"No Barbossa get over yourself I am engaged with Turner," she said taking out her sword as Barbossa gave her a hurt look for a second.
"Well I was here first. You love. Why are you here? And you maybe engaged with Turner but I'll forever love you,"
"Blackbeard sent me he separated my brother and I. Why you?"
"Silver Chalices from a royal liege,"
"Oh, please," Lorena said with an eye roll.
Lorena Steps forward, and they clashes swords once, but the ship starts to tilt.
"Back, back! Lorena! We have to balance it out! The whole ship will slide! And besides love if anything happens to you Jack will kill me if you don't come back," he says as everything goes still.
"Right, then. Well Barbossa looks like we're working together as long as you don't try and touch me again," she snaps as she sheathes her sword causing Barbossa to roll his eyes.
"I'm not that type of man anymore Lorena Sparrow,"
"That still doesn't change what you and your crew did to me,"
"And I've apologized over a thousand times,"
"Yeah but it still doesn't change what you did and that's why  I hate you,"
"Hate is a strong word,"
" Anyways... What if we choose an item of approximately equal weight?"
"Ah, just like a Sparrow love," he says as she picks up a vase, but then the ship tilts the other way.
"Put it back! We touch...NOTHING!"
They go back the other way, Lorena slams down the vase, but just then a chest slides out from under the bed. Two Chalices are on its lid.
"But what about that?" Lorena asks glancing at Barbossa.
"The Chalices,"
He steps backwards, the chest goes towards him.
"Are you trying to kill us?! Why do you get to look first?"
"Fine, then stop being such a pest!"
They switch sides. Lorena stops the chest with her foot,  and looks very happy causing Barbossa to smile some. Barbossa trips over something and the ship lurches violently. Lorena rolls down against a wall with Barbossa, the chest and several treasures rolling towards them. Kicks the chest and crawls towards it, Barbossa following. They put their hands on it at the same time.
"Together," They both said at the same time as they both open it.
"Rocks. We came all this way for rocks? Wait till Jackie hears this one,"
"The Spanish Love,"
'They're ahead of us, Barbossa. I shall have a look at that map, if it's what I fear..."
The two get down on either side of the skeleton, Lorena makes a disgruntled sound and tosses away a coin. Barbossa stares at the map as Lorena takes it.
"Wonder why they left this behind,"
Ponce turns his head, and Lorena stares at it back, smile fading.  "Don't touch the map." Barbossa mouthed to her.
"Oh. Now I see why," she says as she drops it.
"They know the path. But I can also see where they'll most likely make camp,"
"Looks like there's no getting rid of you,"
"No love, not anytime soon,"
