The Interceptor, on open waters, glorious, her white sails set wing-to-wing. Jack's compass was cradled in both hands of its owner. Jack leaned over, studying it almost like he's praying though he's probably never done such a thing in his life. "Bear three points starboard" Captain Sparrow ordered, Anamaria turned the wheel, adjusting course only for the captain to change his mind "Six points port!"
Anamaria frowned but followed the order, turning the wheel back and the ship responded. Will worked on deck, coiling a rope as Cotton and Y/N worked closer to the helm. Gibbs and William started talking about Jack. Something about an island and a couple of sea turtles but it was only a few minutes after the story that we came across something more chilling. The cursed Isla De Muerta.
"Miss Turner, Miss L/N and I are to go ashore" Captain Sparrow declared as a few crew members started preparing a longboat. "Captain! What if the worst should happen?" Gibbs questioned "Keep to the code" Jack answered before the three of us headed to the island. "I understand bringing William but why me?" Jack smirked slightly "because missy, you have quiet hands. You can steal something from someone whilst they're eyes on you 'nd they don't notice. I saw it in Tortuga, you may have thought them easy but you don't spend time there to know. That's a handy skill." It's true. Y/N stole an extra shilling or two all the time from the more unpleasant customers back in the tavern at home. Nobody suspected a thing, probably still don't.
William gave a skull a nervous glance as I rowed us into a stone tunnel. "What Code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen?" He asked just as nervous as his look. "Pirate's Code. Any man that falls behind is left behind" Jack explained. "Oh charming" she muttered with an eye roll. "No heroes amongst thieves, eh?" Will didn't seem too surprised by Jack's answer. "You know, for having such a bleak outlook on pirates you're well on your way to becoming one. Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the Fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga..." the boat went over a river, gold coins and trinkets covered almost every inch of the place. Will seemed to be in awe at the shiny treasures "and you're completely obsessed with treasure" Jack chuckled. "That's not true. I am not obsessed with treasure" he argued, sounding like a child when he did so. We exited the boat, a large hole in one of the walls. There was voices other than ours, we'd found Barbosa, his crew and "Elizabeth!" Will whispered at the sight of her. Her golden curls were as elegant as ever upon her shoulders though the dress she wore was different than her normal wardrobe. A dark red and rather loosely fitted, though Will didn't seem to mind too much.
Barbosa rambled on before pulling a golden medallion from Elizabeth's neck. William scrambled up, disturbing a small pile of coins. "Jack!" But the pirate pushed him down and silenced him. "Not yet! We wait for the opportune moment!" Turner didn't seem too happy about that. "When's that? When it's of greatest profit to you?" He scoffed. "Unless you haven't noticed, we're severely out numbered by Pirates who can't die. One mistake and none of us leave alive" Y/N warned him before the two men looked at each other. "May I ask you something? Have I ever given you reason not to trust me? Do us a favor? I know it's difficult for you, but please stay here and try not to do anything stupid" Jack signalled for Y/N to follow and she did, moving upwards towards Barbosa and his men. "Follow my lea-" there was a thump and Jack fell to the ground unconscious, the same happened to Y/N before she could form a reaction.
Barbosa took up the knife from the stone chest of Cortés and smiled maliciously at Elizabeth. "You know the first thing I'm goin' to do after the curse is lifted? Eat a whole bushel of apples.Begun by blood, by blood undone." He sliced Elizabeth's palm and covered the medallion in her blood before dropping it into the chest. "That?s it?" She asked, confused as she thought she was going to die here. "Waste not" he smirked, the pirates waited but there seemed to be no change. This was confirmed after Barbosa shot Pintel in the chest and nothing happened to him. The Curse was still upon them. "You, maid! Your father, what was his name? Was your father William Turner?" Barbosa gripped Elizabeth's arm tightly, infuriated by the lack of change. "No" she responded smugly. "Where?s his child? The child that sailed from England eight years ago, the child in whose veins flows the blood of William Turner? Where!?" When she gave no answer, Barbosa back hand slapped Elizabeth and she tumbled down the small hill they were on. The pirates began arguing amongst each other whilst Will snuck up to Elizabeth, she grabbed the medallion and the two fled. Their disappearance not noticed until it was too late.
Barbosa ordered his crew to find them but the ores to their boats were missing and it was then bumped into the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow and his companion. "You're supposed to be dead!" Pintel glared at the dreadlocked pirate. "Am I not?" Jack looked down at himself and Y/N shrugged. "You seem pretty lively to me" she laughed but then they were surrounded by pistols, knives and swords. "Palulay?palu-li-la-la-lulu, parlili? parsnip, pasley, par- partner, partner?" He rambled trying to find a particular word until Ragetti mistakingly gave it to him "Parley?" "Parley! That's the one. Parley! Parley!" The two were dragged over to Barbosa where Jack negotiated with his mutinous first mate. Jack wouldn't trade the name of whoever's blood they needed until they boarded the Black Pearl and he was very clear that the deal would be over if Y/N was harmed, she was innocent in this whole mess after all.
