Nora Raven in At World's End

Shipwreck Cove

I awoke to something tugging on my neck. I flinched opening my eyes to see the monkey Jack. He grabbed my necklace. It took it off my neck and and ran off with it. I ran after him, not caring I only had my long shirt on. Opened the door to deck and chased after the monkey.

Jack had the necklace and laughed at me. I looked at him dead in the eyes and smiled.

I went to Tia and saw Barbossa talking to her.  "I do not renege on a bargain once struck, but we agreed on ends only. The means are mine to decide."

I walked up behind him and put my dagger to his neck, as Tia caught his hand, glaring daggers at him. "Caution, Barbossa. Do not forget it was by my power that you returned from the dead. Or what it mean if you fail me."

"You dare lay a finger on her and I will end you myself." I warned.

I backed away from him and started to climb up to the crow's nest. I was halfway up when I saw them both. She may be a goddess, but she is still stuck in human form and can get harmed.

Tia released his hand. She started to walk away, but Barbossa grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to face him. I heard bits and pieces as I climbed down.

"Why I could not leave Jack and Nora to their well-deserved fate. Not much so Nora. It took nine pirate lords to bind you, Calypso, and it will take no less than nine to set you free. Masters Pintel and Ragetti. Take this fishwife to the brig!"

I Jumped down and drew my sword as Pintel and Ragetti escorted her to the deck. I struck Barbossa and he dodged me. I glared at him as he took his sword out and I smiled at him. "This is going to be fun."

Jack and the crew watched as we fought. Barbossa struck me and I jumped up onto the railimg and smiled. We parried and I saw sharks in the water. "Sharks. Not my preference, but it will work."

Barbossa struck me and I pretended to lose my balance. I fell imto the shark infested waters. I smiled and the sharks swarmed me.

Holding my breath I sank below and let them bite me, creating scarlet colored waters. I opened my mouth and sang. "Life in the sea come forth and set free all the suffering I endure to leave and be ashore."

The sharks unlock their jaws and I smiled. I was able to breathe in the water. I swam about underwater and saw the ship was far away.

As I swam towards the ship, I smiled and saw it kept up with the ship. I saw Jack fighting Barbossa in anger. I couldn't help, but stifle a laugh.

Hearing a sound below me, I looked to see crabs come from the water and slowly climb onto one another. They were making a way for me to go to the ship. I smiled at the crew. I went to get changed.

Inside Shipwreck Cove, the town of Shipwreck glowed with the light of many ships piled on top of one another. The Pearl sailed around to the dock, and everyone gathered to see the sight.

Inside, members of the brethren court talked amongst their crew members. Barbossa pounded the table to cease the shouting "As he who issued summons, I convene this the fourth Brethren Court. To confirm your lordship and right to be heard, present now your pieces of eight, my fellow cap'ns."

Ragetti brought around a wooden bowl and the pirates began pulling things out of their pockets to place into the bowl.

Pintel looked confused. "Those aren't pieces of eight; they're just pieces of junk."

"Aye, the original plan was to use nine pieces of eight to bind Calypso, but when the first Court met, the Brethren were, to a one, skint broke." Gibbs answered

"So change the name." Pintel stated.
Gibbs smiled. "What? To "Nine pieces of whatever we happen to have in our pockets at the time"? Oh yes, that's very pirate-y."

I rolled my eyes and huffed. "Shut your traps!"

Barbossa called Ragetti over for his piece of eight. He hit Ragetti in the back of the head, and his wooden eye popped out into Barbossa's waiting hand. He dropped it into the bowl.

Villanueva yelled to Jack. "Sparrow!"

Jack was stalling to keep his piece of eight. "Might I point out that we are still short one pirate lord, and I'm content as a cucumber to wait until Sao Feng joins us."

Elizabeth came in and stabbed her sword in the area I presumed she was now captain of. Sao Feng is dead. He fell to the Flying Dutchman."

"The plagued ship!" Mistress Ching said in disbelief.

Jack was irritated. "And made you captain? Their giving the bloody title away now."

"Listen to me. Our location has been betrayed. Jones is under the command of Lord Beckett. They're on their way here." She shouted at them all.

I started to get a headache and walked outside and thought.

It's doubtful that anyone will agree with us. I will make them if not. This is our only hope to have help.

I was pulled from my thoughts, by a gunfire. I ran inside and saw the pirates from each camp began fighting, until the whole room is filled with shouting and crashing. Elizabeth, her own crew, and Barbossa watch silently at the mass chaos.

"This is madness!" Elizabeth said in disbelief.

"This is politics." Jack stated.

"Meanwhile, our enemies are bearing down upon us." She huffed.

Barbossa rolled his eyes. "If they not be here already."

I laughed. "No this is funny."

They all looked at me like I was mad. I walked up to Jack and wrapped my arms around him. He embraced me and I giggled. "What? They hurt themselves over something nontrivial as this. We have to free her."
