Third Person P.O.V.

On the Dauntless, the fighting had stopped. The pirates looked at each other and at themselves. No longer seeing bones, only skin. All was silent as the pirates looked at the soldiers and vice versa. Twigg was about to attack Norrington but saw blood on the blade of his sword.

The pirates looked up at the moon. Realizing the curse has been lifted. They've waited so long to become mortal, but now they can't win against the soldiers, knowing they could now die. Soon the pirates dropped their weapons. Surrendering, knowing they had lost.

"The ship is ours, gentleman," Norrington announced.

All the soldiers began to cheer, pumping an arm in the air to celebrate their victory.

After Barbossa fell dead, and Jack was looking for treasure to take, Elizabeth went to Arabella.

Arabella's P.O.V.

"Are you alright?" Elizabeth asked me.

I nodded.

She hugged me and I returned the embrace.

"I thought he shot you," she said, pulling back to look at me. "Don't ever do that again."

I laughed and nodded. I left Elizabeth, now standing alone, to talk to my brother. I soon found him looking through some of the treasure.

"So you stole a medallion, just so you could kill Barbossa?" I asked.

He looked at me, nodded and continued to look through the treasure.

"Where are you gonna go after this?" I asked.

"Don't know," he said.

There was a moment of silence as Jack continued to rifle through the gold and silver, tossing what he doesn't want over his shoulder.

"If you want," Jack said breaking the silence. "You can join me on the Pearl, sail the ocean."

"You mean," I began, smiling. "Become a pirate?"

"Pirate is in your blood," Jack told me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"Dad's a pirate," he said.

I stared at him with wide eyes. He walked away with a crown on his head, a golden goblet in one hand, and other sorts of valuable items. After a moment, I followed. I saw Jack walking up to Will, after Elizabeth walked away.

"If you were waiting for the opportune moment," Jack said to Will, then pointed in the direction Elizabeth went. "That was it. If you'd be so kind, I'd be much obliged if you'd drop me off at my ship."

Jack walked away and to the longboat to depart. I walked up to Will and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, Will," I told him. "I know she fancies you."

He looked at me, and I gave him a small smile. Then we both walked to the longboat and got in.

Will had both oars, Jack sat behind him, and Lizzie and I sat in front of Will.

"I'm sorry Jack," I said to my brother.

He was hoping that he would once again captain the Pearl, but his crew sailed away on it.

"They done what's right by them," he replied in a dull voice. "Can't expect more than that."

When we returned to the Dauntless, we saw the soldiers leading the once cursed pirates to the brig. Murtogg and Mullory came over, and led Jack to the stairs leading to the brig. I made a move to stop them, but Will put a hand on my shoulder. I looked at him and he shook his head, silently telling me that it's no use. So I stood there, quietly watching them take my brother away.
