Chapter 3-The Ultimate Betrayals

Sorry, I knew there was something wrong with my story then I realised that this chapter was missing! So sorry again, hope you enjoy. I don't own POTC, but Scarlet is my Pirate alto ego.

Elizabeth immediately made her way over to Will as he detached himself from the pole behind his back, "Will," she yelled throwing him a sword which he caught gratefully.

I made my way out of the building quickly, disarming three of the soldiers on my way out, and made my way to Tia. She was hiding by the shreds watching her cart, I went next to her and looked around working out my next move. I saw a few soldiers standing over the other side of the bridge shooting at people, "Time I join in I believe" I said winking at Tia and running quietly behind the soldiers, "Hello Boys!" I said, as they turned towards me I slit their throats. The fighting was going on around me.

I could hear the soldiers cries of, "Ready, aim, fire!" they reloaded then went again, "Ready, Aim..." the cart that Tia set up on the bridge blew up, sending soldiers flying in different directions.

One of Sao Feng's men ran towards me with his sword out. I dunked out of the way, sending him instead over the edge of the wall and into the water below us.

I made my way around the edges, trying to avoid getting into too many fights on the way. I saw Sao feng pin Will against the wall, I hid behind the wall and prepared to shot Sao. "It is an odd coincidence that the East India Trading Co. finds me the day you show up in Singapore." Sao said moving the knife closer into Will neck.

"It is coincidence only," with a flick of his wrist, Will had the knife up against Sao's throat, "If you want to make a deal with Beckett, you need what I offer."

I stopped dead, why would Will do that? "You cross Barbossa, you're willing to cross Jack Sparrow. Why should I expect any better?" Sao Feng asked, obviously considering the deal.

"I need the Black Pearl to free my father," Will said removing the knife from Sao's neck, "You're helping me to get it."

I moved quickly away from them, not wanted to be near a traitor, also I only had one bullet left and I didn't know which of them I wanted to kill more at that moment. Jack the monkey had a firework and placed it on a railing on a box, "Uh oh!" Cotton's parrot said as as Jack places a candle on the fuse to light it. "Fire in the hole!" the parrot squeaked. The firework launched straight past my head into a shack that exploded into different colours.

"Thank you, Jack!" I heard Barbossa yell over as he stabbed a solider in the stomach.

"Thank you, Jack!" The parrot mimicked.

I ran down to the docks where Elizabeth, Will and Barbossa were. "You got the charts?" Barbossa questioned surprised.

"And better yet, a ship and a crew," Will answered. I knew that he had made a deal with Sao Feng.

"Where's Sao Feng?" Elizabeth questioned looking around, checking for soldiers.

"He'll cover our escape and meet us at Shipwreck Cove," Will replied.

"That was nice to him," I said sarcastically, I had a sense we would see Sao Feng again before Shipwreck cove.

"This way, be quick," The leader of Sao Feug's men said as he began to move quickly, before ducking under a passageway.

We reached the new ship we had acquired. I stood looking other the edge with Tia. Elizabeth walked over to us and spoke to her, "There's no place left for Sao Feng to cower. Do you think he will honour the call?"

"I cannot say. There is an evil on these seas that even the most staunch and bloodthirsty pirates have come to fear." Tia replied, turning back to staring out over the ocean.

"And everyone has to be careful who they deal with," I said simply, turning to face Will. Who stared back in shock, he must have figured out I meant him.

I sat there staring out onto the water. I thought back to Jack and how he was supposed to love me, but he had kissed Elizabeth. He was supposed to care about me, I really thought he loved me. As I thought I had to laugh, Jack always said that I looked out at the sea when I was in deep thought. He knew so much about me.

"Scarlet," Someone behind me called, taking me out of my thoughts.

I turned to see Elizabeth coming up behind me, "What?!" I snapped, not in the mood to have a 'Friendly' discussion with the woman who had stolen my trust in the only man I had ever loved.

She stopped when she saw my murderous expression, "What have I done?" She asked me, acting innocent.

"What have you done?" I screamed at her, letting all my hurt come out in bucket loads, "What have you done? You stole him from me! You hurt me. I thought you were my friend but, god, just stay away from me Elizabeth."

Will caught me in his arms and pulled me away but not before I saw the guilt and sorrow on Elizabeth's face. I felt like screaming more, but I could no longer speak through my sobs. Will pulled me into my room and sat me down on his lap rocking me back and forwards.

"Come on Scarlet," Will said softly in my ear.

"He...she...they...I hate Love!" I screamed out. Getting up and running down into my room. Collapsing onto the bed and letting the tears flow out. Until I couldn't cry any more.

I knew I had to face the crew at one point soon. Someone knocked on my door. I cleared my throat and whispered, "Come in."

Gibbs stuck his head around the door, "You alright lass?" he asked me softly smiling gently at me.

"No," I replied truthfully, "I don't think I am." I tried not to break down.

Gibbs walked into the room and pulled me into his arms like a father does to a child, "We'll get him back lass. Don't you worry."

I put my head on his shoulder and calmed down my breathing. We sat there for some time, until I decided it was time to face the world.

I walked onto the deck glad to see that most people had gone to bed. I walked over to the barrels shivering slightly from the cold.

"Barbossa," I called as he walked by, "The weather is changing. What is going on?"

"Oh Lass," Barbossa smiled, his gold teeth shining in the moonlight, "It's gonna get a good bit colder soon."

"How much colder?"

So get ready for the cold, in the story and in real life. Please review.

Until next time
