Catalina's POV

"They've left." Barbossa turns to Jack.

We all stare at the empty sea.

Jack nods, "Right." He picks up a statue and starts to examine it.

"I must admit Jack. I thought I had you all figured out, but you're a hard man to predict."

Jack smirks, "Me? I'm dishonest and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you need to watch out for. You can never tell when they're going to do something incredibly..."

He glances over at me as his hand lightly taps his sword.

"Stupid!"

Jack suddenly kicks one of Barbossa's pirates and they fall into the water but not before Jack grabs his sword. He tosses the sword to Will and I draw mine. I quickly make my way to Will and cut his hands free. He nods and we turn to battle. I slash at one of the men then kick him away. He falls to the ground and I step on his back stabbing another in their side. A pirate comes up behind me and grabs my waist. I elbow him and grab him arm then throw him over my body. He lands on the ground in front of me. I stab him in the chest and keep walking.

Two men run at me from both sides. I duck making them stab each other. I uppercut then both making them fall to the ground in sync. Hearing someone yell as they run to me from behind, I backflip making them run under me. I land behind them and slash their neck making their head roll off down a hill. Pirates around me all look in fear but then see Barbossa fighting Jack. It looks like Jack has the upper hand until Barbossa stabs him in the chest. His eyes widen as he stumbles back.

"Jack!" I start to make my way to him but as he steps in the light I sigh.

"That's interesting," I hear him say.

He rolls a piece of cursed treasure around his bony fingers. His body had been turned into a skeleton. He had been immortal because of the coin. Barbossa looks at him in shock and anger.
