Nora Raven in At World's End

Fight

The pirates ships are lined up outside of Shipwreck Cove, waiting for Beckett's arrival. Marty sounds the alarm. Out of the morning fog, appeared the Endeavour.

"The enemy is here! Let's take 'em!" He shouted.

Cheers erupt from all the ships, then stop suddenly. More and more ships appeared out of the fog. Their number of ships outnumbered ours. Mr. Cotton's parrot took off toward Shipwreck Cove.

"Abandon ship! Abandon ship!" It squawked.

The pirates turned to look at Jack. "Parley?" He said nervously.

A tiny spit of land between our fleets had became our meeting point. Barbossa, Elizabeth, Jack and I made our way way to the end where Will, Beckett, and Jones were. We stopped standing a couple feet away from each other.

I looked down at Jones' feet and saw that he was in a bucket full of sea water. I stiffled a laugh as he gave me a dirty look.

"You be the cur that led these wolves to our door." Barbossa glared.

"Don't blame Turner. He was merely the tool of your betrayal. If you wish to see it's grand architect, look to your left."

Barbossa turned to look at Elizabeth, Elizabeth turned to look at me, and then I turned to look at Jack. Jack turned to look at nothing and then turned back.

"My hands are clean in this." He looked at the grime on his hands and then back up. "Figuratively." He protested.

He most likely did it for a reason. He always is a coward at first, but comes through in the end. I thought.

"My actions were my own and to my own purpose. Jack had nothing to do with it." Will disagreed.

"Well spoke! Listen to the tool." He said, desperatly, trying to redeem himself.

"Will, I've been aboard the Dutchman. I understand the burden you bear, but I fear that cause is lost." She assured.

I shook my head at her. "Not true."

He looled at me and smiled. "No cause is lost, if there is but one fool left to fight for it." He disagreed with her.

"If Turner wasn't acting on your behalf, then how did he come to give me this?" He questioned, holding up Jack's compass.

Barbossa, Elizabeth and I turned and  glared at Jack, who grimaced

"You made a deal with me, Jack, to deliver the pirates. And here they are. Don't be bashful. Step up, claim your reward." Beckett confirmed, as he tossed the compass to Jack.

"Your debt to me is still to be satisfied. One hundred years aboard the Dutchman as a start." Jones spat.

"That debt was paid, mate, with some...help." He said, as he gestured to Elizabeth.

"You escaped!"

"Technically-" he started, but I cut him off.

"Rescued." I stated.

"I propose an exchange. Will leaves with us...and you can take Jack." She negotiated.

"Done." Will stated.

I glared. "No!"

"Undone!" Jack protested.

"Done." Becket confirmed.

"Jack's one of the nine pirate lords. You have no right!" Barbossa argued.

"King!" She smiled.

Jack removed his hat and bowed mockingly. "As you command, your nibs."

"Blackguard!" He said.

Pulling out his sword he swiped at Jack but I blocked it with my sword and knocked him back.

I drew my pistol and aimed it at Beckett's head. "I could stop the fighting right now and let jones have his duty back. All I have to do..." I cocked my pistol and smiled. "Is pull this trigger and watch the bullet hit your skull."

"That would not be wise, Miss. Raven." He smirked.

I laughed and put my weapon away. "I will not do that though."

He looked at me stunned. "What?"

I went closer to him and scruffed his shirt bringing him closer to me. "I want you to fight. That way when you are defeated, you will know what it is like to lose everything that you have had to live for right before you die." I seethed. I roughly threw him to the ground and walked to Jack.

I hugged him and sighed. "Do what is right. I know you always do in the end."

I took his piece of eight, as I fought tears in my eyes. I whispered in his ear. "I love you."

He put his hand on my cheek. "I know Luv. I will be back."

I smiled. "I will hold you to that."

"If ye have something to say, I might be saying something as well." Barbossa warned.

He looked at Barbossa. "First to the finish then?"

Will and Jack stared each other down, as they traded places. Beckett moved aside so Jack was forced to stand next to Davy Jones.

"Do you fear death?" Jones asked him.
"You have no idea." He looked at me as he replied it.

Becket looked at Elizabeth. "Advise your brethren: You can fight and all of you will die, or you can not fight in which case only most of you will die." He warned.

"You murdered my father." She spat.

"He chose his own fate." He stated.

"And you have chosen yours. We will fight, and you will die." She seethed.

"So be it." He replied.

Will, Elizabeth, Barbossa and I walked away.

"King?" Will asked.

"Of the Brethren Court. Courtesy of Jack and Ember." Elizabeth stated.

"Maybe he really does know what he’s doing." Will confirmed. I crossed my arms together as we walked.
