Ella Turner: Daughter of the Dead

Revenge

I finally got to the Isla Cruces to see Jack, Norrington, Elizabeth and Father huddled around a chest.

"It's real." Elizabeth exclaims.

"You actually were telling the truth." Norrington admits.

"I do that quite a lot, yet people are still surprised." Jack retorts. I walk up and make myself known.

"With good reason!" I yell. Elizabeth turns and both her and Father's mouths drop open.

"Ella! Thank Goodness you are alright! We came to find you." Elizabeth yells with relief as she runs to me, attacking me in a hug. She examines my face and then she sees my hands and her eyes fill up with tears.

"What did they do to you?" Elizabeth worries.

"How did you get here?" Jack questions. I glare at him with hatred.

"Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them strapped to my feet." I mock.

"Not so easy is it?" He smiles.

"But I do owe you thanks, Jack." I say.

"You do?" Jack asks.

"After you tricked me onto that ship, to square your debt with Jones." I say my anger rising.

"What?" Elizabeth shrieks.

"What?" Jack mocks in the same tone of voice.

"I was reunited with my father." Father's mouth drops.

"Oh, well, you're welcome, then." I clench my fist together to prevent my anger from exploding.

"Everything you said to me, every word was a lie!" Elizabeth accuses.

"Pretty much. Time and tide, love." Jack shrugs. I pull out the knife and kneel before the chest with the key in hand.

"Oi, what are you doing?" Jack questions me.

"I'm gonna kill Jones." I say. Jack takes out his sword and levels it at me. I look up at him like he is stupid.

"Are you sure you want to be doing that? Are you sure that you want to kill your Father. You just met Jones and that he is your father. What about William? What do you have to say about him?" Jack is right. Do I want to kill Jones? But I made Bootstrap a promise. I turn to Father and point the knife at him. He seems hurt by my actions.

"You lied to me." I grit.

"Now Ella, don't be irrational." Father pleads.

"You have lied to me my entire life! You said I was your daughter but you are just a stranger who raised the Captain of the Flying Dutchman's legendary pirate daughter! You're right Jack, I am not going to kill my Father. I am going to kill this man who claimed to be my father." I say. I raise the knife and attempt to stab Father. Elizabeth and Norrington grab my arms to prevent me. I thrash around and try to stop them.

"No! Let me go! Stop it!" I yell thrashing around. Father kneels before me, tears in both of our eyes.

"Yes, I did lie to you. I did it to protect you. You are still my world and still make it brighter everyday. I am sorry, I didn't know where you came from, but I had to protect you. Please forgive me." Father reasoned. I wanted to but inside my heart, I knew I didn't. Elizabeth ad Norrington let me go and I cried into Father's arms.

"Now that you are done with your tantrum, if you please. The key." Jack says, holding out his hand. I relent before drawing my own sword on Jack.

"I keep the promises I make Jack. And I intend to free Bootstrap from the Dutchman's hold an gain my father's trust, I hope your here to see it." I retort.

"I can't let you do that either. So sorry." Norrington says, drawing his sword on me. I turn and stare at him with glaring eyes.

"I knew you'd warm up to me eventually." Jack says. I switch my sword to Norrington, Norrington's to Jack, and Jack's stays on me.

"Lord Beckett desires the contents of that chest. I deliver it: I get my life back." Norrington says.

"Ah. The dark side of ambition." Jack snarls.

"Oh, I prefer to see it as the promise of redemption." Norrington says darkly. I take my first hit at Norrington, but that distracts me when Jack grabs the key. Father and Elizabeth started yelling at us to stop before Norrington got Father involved in the fight. I could hear Elizabeth shouting and making a fool of herself but I just ignored her. I followed Jack into the water finally confronting him. I grab his foot and he trips having me grab the key and run off.

"Bugger." I hear him say. Norrington blocks me off, I block his attack but Jack hit me with his sword causing the key to fall into his grasp. I start to run off but Norrington grabbed me and Father and threw us back into the sand and threw it in our faces.

"By your leave, Mr. and Miss Turner." Norrington bows and runs off. My ankle is giving out so I let Father chase Norrington and Jack while Elizabeth runs to me.

"Are you ok?" She asks. I nod and get up. My ankle throbs as we catch sight of Pintel and Ragetti running off with the chest. We both look at each other and nod, both of us know what we are thinking. We both take off after both of them finally cornering them. I take out my sword but Elizabeth doesn't have hers. Pintel and Ragetti drop the chest and take out their own swords. They start to back her up but something made them stop. To my surprise, I see a large water mill rolling and on top was Father, Jack and Norrington fighting about. A moment of confusion passed before Pintel and Ragetti shrugged and continued to back up Elizabeth. I was about to stop them when a hatchet sunk into the tree. We all turn our heads to see the Dutchman crew rounding on us. Ragetti and Pintel handed the swords to her and all of us make a run for it. Pintel and Ragetti run around a tree, but drop the chest. The Dutchman crew stops and raises their swords and attempted to stab me. I block it and stab the man in the chest and then running. While fighting, Elizabeth, Pintel and Ragetti started to share swords because they were down by one. From behind I jammed my sword into a pirate. I caught sight of Jack, running back to the beach and we all follow. He seems to be doing something behind the boat but I was to busy fighting. One pirate particularly, grabbed my wrist and prevented me from fighting.

"Do you think I am going to let you go that easily?" He snarls. Before he could kill me, The weird wheel crushed him and was going like 65 miles per hour and then it slowed down. All of us ceased fighting for a moment before the wheel stops and falls over onto it's side. We all continue fighting. I ran back over to the boat to see Pintel and Ragetti trying to make off with the chest. I point my sword at them and they try but find they don't have a sword. They shrug and grab the net and the oar. I roll my eyes but my gaze catches to the chest. I pick it up and my heart drops in realization. I turn around and Jack takes the oar and hits me across the face, sending me unconscious again.

I may edit this later, cause I felt like it was rushed but there you go. Enjoy. -Anaya
