I don't own any of the characters…but I do wish I owned Orlando Bloom…or Will Turner…or Johnny Depp…or Captain Jack Sparrow…(ha! That'd be a lovely match…me and Jack…ha ha Vanessa!!!)
A/N: Sorry but there are going to be some MAJOR plot spoilers in this story (at least of what happens till the spot I'm going to mention below) so if you haven't seen the movie, then it's probably not the best idea for you to read this story, but if you want to or you have seen the movie…by all means! Read on!!!
Summary: This is like an alternate ending to the movie. I'm starting at the spot when Jack is just about to toss the medallion to Will. (This is at the end-during the big fight scene.)
Jack shook the medallion into his hand and gripped the blade of his sword. Then he drew the sword back as he gripped it, releasing a steady flow of sticky red liquid onto not only the medallion within his hand, but the rest of his hand as well. It brought about a sharp twinge of pain that spread through his hand and arm. He shook the pain away and put the thought of it to the back of his mind; it actually wasn't much, compared to the injuries that he'd attained before, but he still told himself at least a couple of times over, " 'Tis for the greater good… 'tis for the greater good…" And it was…or so he thought as he threw the blood-covered medallion to the young man running up to the stone chest.
The medallion projected flecks of blood as it spun towards Will Turner, and with a rough, but expert blacksmith's hand, he caught it. Then came his turn. He had to just take the bone knife and cut his own hand. For a split second before taking the knife to his skin, he looked at it; there was blood on it already, and he knew whose blood it was. It was Elizabeth's. Angry thoughts flashed through his mind as he thought of how Barbossa could have hurt Elizabeth. Then his thoughts cascaded to the precious, but very short, moment that he and Elizabeth had shared below the deck of the Interceptor. He had hurt her and he wanted to make it up to her; he didn't mean to snap at her, it just hadn't sat to well with him that his father was a pirate. Unfortunately, his lapse in judgment (of time and when to dwell on thoughts and when not to) cost all three of them (Will, jack, and Elizabeth) vitally.
Barbossa was no idiot, and after Jack's first little slight of hand incident, he was keen to keep an eye (two eyes, as often as he could spare them-haha! Lord of the Rings reference there…) on those quick hands of Jack's. It was as if Barbossa had seen it before it had occurred; he knew that Jack would at some point or another try to put the medallion back into the chest. So he aimed his gun at young Turner and shot.
Elizabeth was trying with all her might to catch up to Will, but he was going too swiftly. She had some idea of what he was doing, but it was still foggy about how he would get Jack's medallion without losing it in a massive heap of gold coins laying around the cavern. But then she saw a glittering light fly across the cavern and into Will's hand. Mid-flight, the light had projected something warm onto her cheek. She lifted her hand and touched her silken cheek and brought her hand back down again. A red dot sparkled on her pale hand as lovely as a ruby, but it was warm… Then it clicked in her head…Jack just gave his blood and threw his medallion to Will, the ruby-like dot was his blood (she gave a mild shudder of disgust at this thought…) and now all that had to happen was for Will to give his blood and medallion to the chest for the curse to be broken and the pirates to die at the hands of the Royal Navy… But for some reason, she saw him stalling! What was he doing?! "Please Will! Just do it! Fast!" Elizabeth thought frantically to herself. Then she heard the shot…
A/N: I was trying to show all of the characters' thoughts so I'm sorry if the timing is a little messed up in this chapter and the next chapter…sorry!!!
A/N #2!: Hey! I'm Orlando's biggest fan, and I thought it'd be really fun to write a fan fic about his latest movie: Pirates of the Caribbean, The Curse of the Black Pearl. I really would love it if everyone who read this story would review, and tell me anything I'm doing (right, or wrong)! I've already seen POTC 3 times and I'm planning to see it again! Yay-and for everyone who hasn't seen it yet….go see it! It is a magnificent movie and it'll take your mind off life for the 2 and ½ hours that it runs! So-review!!! Please!!!!! Thanks!
Cheers!
