It was the second sea battle on their trip back from Tortuga, they had traveled there to find a couple more shipmates but they seem to be losing them as soon as they get them. Jack Sparrow and his crew seem to get into more sea battles now then a child complains to their mother. This time they were fighting the Bloody Crow with it's feared Captain John Strapping.
Shots were flying everywhere, both crews were so far unharmed though. Elizabeth was standing at the middle of the ship, up at the side as close as she could get to the Crow, gun at ready. Suddenly a girl stood beside her, studying the situation. The girl looked about 15 and she was soaking wet. At a cannon blast Elizabeth studied her features, the only Thing she could make out was that her eyes were a dark dark brown, almost black, and that she was wearing a long dress down to her ankles that looked like it was made out of rags.
"Shoot him," the girl said, pointing to a man on the Crow towards the bow. "Shoot him, hurry!"
Elizabeth stared at the girl who kept her eyes on the other ship and finally aimed her gun and shot him. The man stumbled back from the blast and fell backwards dead. Elizabeth smiled at the girl who was helping her, but instead of rejoicing, the girl was still looking over at the Crow with a neutral expression on her face. "Duck," she said, falling on her stomach, when Elizabeth continued staring at her, confused, she pulled her down with her. Just in time too, for a bullet went over their heads right where Elizabeth had been standing.
Again Elizabeth looked at the girl amazed and a little shaken from the girl pulling her down. The girl was still emotionless though but she finally turned to Elizabeth, and through blasts Elizabeth could see her black eyes. "The man who shot that was right in front of us, when I say go, jump up and shoot straight ahead." The girl looked through a small hole in the side of the boat and Elizabeth kneeled at the ready, somehow knowing to trust this girl fully. Still staring through the hole, she said "Go." Elizabeth quickly jumped up and took a shot at him. She missed and ducked back under the side of the boat. Try again, this time take a second to aim, but not to long." Elizabeth nodded and waited for the signal again.
"Go," the girl said and once more Elizabeth sprang up, aimed and shot. This time it was a direct hit and the man had the same reaction as the first.
"Don't stop to look, shoot the man next to Strapping and duck." She said, just peering over the side since she was still on her knees.
"Why don't I just shoot the Captain?" Elizabeth asked.
The girl looked up at her and said simply, as if everyone should know, "He'll dodge it."
Elizabeth stared strangely at the girl, but nonetheless, took her gun, aimed, and shot the man next to Strapping. She ducked down to join the girl who was peering through the hole again. Finally, she turned and smiled like she knew something Elizabeth didn't. "Congratulations," she said, "you have just killed three men from the enemy ship, one of which was the first mate, you should be very proud. Now, stay down, and if any men come on board, shoot them before they see you. If you need to, look through this hole." She pointed at the hole and moved over so Elizabeth could try looking through. Elizabeth went to look through and turned back to the girl, but she was gone. She looked around from her spot against the side, but she was no where to be found.
Eventually they had sunken he Bloody Crow, leaving all survivors stranded in the middle of the Caribbean. Will walked up to Elizabeth and helped her up. "Two of the new men dead, none of the original crew of course. We only saw six survivors left after the sinking of the Crow. It was a good battle." He said, and smiled warmly at her.
She smiled back at him and rubbed his hand in hers, "Did you see a girl, around 15 walking around the ship?" She said, watching their hands. "No-"
At that moment, Jack, who had been listening in, walked up to them, carrying himself high after their victory. "I saw one, eyes as dark as night. She bloody stole two of my bracelets from Cortez's treasure right of my wrists! Couldn't see where she went though, had to dodge some bullets…"
Suddenly, a bright light shone right in her eyes, and-
She turned over in her bead and rubbed her eyes, then turned again to see Will at the bedroom window. She stretched out and got out of bead, walking over to her husband and nuzzling her head under his neck. "Mmm… I had that dream again, can't get those eyes out of my mind…"
A/N
triumphant music okay, I think I'm actually going to go all the way with this one, lets hope so right? Since there are so many PotC fanfics I checked the first 75 and it didn't look like any of them were like mine so hopefully this type of thing will be new for all you readers out there. Although I only started reading a couple of them, and I'm talking about plot line, not writing style. I just got a sudden inspiration and had to type it all down. Tonight I'm going to write as many chapters as I can and I'll probably update every week. Please R&R!
