Chapter 4
Disclaimer: Alas, the great tale named "Pirates of the Caribbean" does not belong to me, it all belongs to Disney! The only thing that I hold a claim over is the events in this telling which are not seen in the 'films'.
Barbossa's eyes grew wide, "Why Jackie, why? And here I thought we were friends, the best of them even!" Glaring at him, I stated, "That's Captain Jonathan Teague or Sparrow to you, First mate Barbossa." Oef, luckily, I had managed to restrain the sneer from my voice and to keep calm. His face went white like a new, white sail. The strong, bold Hector disappeared, leaving a scared, pathetic man in his place. After a while, he managed to regain colour and to lose his terrified expression. Putting on a façade of joviality, he clapped me on the back and said, "Well, of course she is yours, mate, I would never betray a friend! Hahahaa ha aaa…." Me and my father pulled up one eyebrow at the same time and crossed our arms. This, as he saw that no one supported him anymore (not that anyone in their right mind would oppose the Keeper), was enough to let his shoulders slump back, before falling to his knees. "Please, I only ever meant to do good, please, I'll do anything you want, if you but let me hold my titles!" Turning to me, he said in a begging voice, "Have I not always been a good friend and comrade to you, Captain Teague-Sparrow, before I fell part to madness? I don't understand how I could ever have done those terrible things. I was inhabited by the devil! I couldn't do anything, but you freed me, with your harsh but just words!" I rolled my eyes. My father spoke up, rolling his eyes as well, "Barbossa, maybe, if this took place a few centuries ago, I would have believed you, but you are neither a man to believe in such things, nor were you ever truly loyal to me, so please, stop this nonsense and at the very least, spare yourself shame and stand up like a man, before removing yourself from this place. You lost the little respect anyone here had for you by crawling over the floor like a baby." Suddenly, I saw that in his despair he reached for one of his daggers and that he readied himself to attack either my father or me while my father talked. As Hector rose and lunged forward to my father, I yelled, "Dad, watch out!" I threw myself between them.
Barbossa POV
Hah, while not deadly it soon would be, soon, there would be a Teague less on this earth! He had not seen which one he had hit with his dagger, but it didn't matter, either way, the Cove would fall to chaos. He knew that now, instead of banishment, he would get an execution, but they would first look out for whatever Teague he had hit. Jack, the bastard, had he not always supported him, before taking what was his? He let out a crazy laugh, the witch-like kind.
My most sincere apologies for my late update, especially to TheRealTayler13, whom I had promised to update yesterday evening or afternoon, however, when I was writing this chapter, my laptop suddenly had to update, for an hour and ½, can you believe it? It really is true, so when he was finally ready, it was already 10.30 p.m. and then I had no internet connection anymore because I'm a boarding student. I have a question, what age do you guys think I am? Also, thank you soooooo very much for those favourites and follows! 3 ;) :p
