Sparrow's Revenge

6

Well that didn't exactly go to plan as Elizabeth was now stood on the plank with men pointing swords at her and as for me, well I was still being grabbed and touched, tears freely falling down my face.

"Barbossa, you lying bastard, you swore they'd go free." Will yelled, fighting against other crew members grip.

"Don't dare impugn me honour, boy. I agreed she'd go free but it was you who failed to specify when or where. As for little Lottie over there, she has something we need so she'll be staying with us for the time being." He smirked as they gagged Will to stop him from talking. He looked with horror filled eyes as Elizabeth stood there, not knowing what to do. "Though it does seem a shame to lose so fine, don't it lads?" They all yelled in agreement in a sickeningly perverted way. "So I'll be having that dress back before you go." Elizabeth looked at him and hesitated before removing the dress.

"Goes with your black heart." She sneered and tossed it back at him.

"Hmm, it's still warm." He grinned as he rubbed it against his face.

Everyone was yelling and whistling as she turned back and walked a few steps she turned to look behind her and saw Will. She gave him a nod for a reason I don't understand.

"Too long!" One of the crew yelled and stepped on the board and sending Elizabeth into the sea. Then it was Jack's turn.

"I really had rather hoped we were past all this." Jack tried to reason.

"Jack," Barbossa taunted. "Did you not notice? That be the same island that we made you governor of on our last little trip."

"I did notice." Jack nodded.

"Perhaps you'll be able to conjure up another miraculous escape. But I doubt it." He pulled out his sword. "Off you go."

"Last time you left me with a pistol with one shot."

"By the powers your right, where be Jack's pistol? Bring it forward."

"Seeing as there's two of us, a gentleman would give us a pair of pistols." Jack tried to negotiate.

"It'll be one pistol as before, and you can be the gentleman and shoot the lady and starve to death yourself." He sneered before throwing his effects into the water and he dived in after them.

"Take the rest to the brig." Barbossa commanded and we were taken down below.

Myself and Will were locked in a cell while the rest of the crew were in the one opposite.

"Barbossa said you had something he needed. What did he mean?" Will asked me. I looked at him and pulled out the medallion I had on a chain, much like his own.

"Your father sent it to me. He cared for me like a daughter when he would visit. That's how he became a member of the Black Pearl. When he found out about the mutiny and they found the treasure he took two pieces of Aztec gold and sent one to me and one to you. He sent me a letter explaining what had happened and what would happen now that the gold was hidden away. He told me that if I ever saw his son to tell him that he was sorry that he lied and that he hoped that he wouldn't have to live the same life. He was a good man, just, not everybody saw it." Will was silent after that.

"You cried." He spoke again and I looked up at him expectantly. "On deck you were crying. Why?" 

"A multitude of reasons." I didn't know whether to continue or not. I made up my mind and spoke again. "The last time I was here I was looking for Jack. He'd not long been deposited on the island but no one told me. I was 15 and they were drunk. I was locked in the cabin as men wandered in out accordingly. It was like that for a week until I escaped when we made port and managed to get a ride to Port Royal." I was crying again. I only noticed as Will wiped a tear from under my eye.
