A/N: We're sorry it's been so very long since we updated but there have been some personal problems and life has been getting in the way a bit :/ so we beg for forgiveness and don armour on the chance we don't get it… Emily's chapter x
Disclaimer: We still don't own Pirates of the Caribbean…
"Shut up, Vic" scorned Elizabeth.
"Half barrel hinges!" Jack exclaimer, making the two women jump.
"Up, up, up, up, up up you get, come on! Jack slid his arm under the bars and dragged inside the brig a rusty iron bar. He put this about half way up the brig's door and pushed down; the door fell from the wooden wall with a loud crash. 'Come on, before we get caught,' he motioned to Elizabeth and her cousin.
Sparrow led them up the steps to be greeted by a not too happy Hector Barbosa.
'And where do you think you're going?' he sneered.
'Ah, Hector, just off to take control my ship my friend, how about yourself?' Jack grinned.
'Oh, yes, and what ship might that be Sparrow?' Barbosa asked.
'Er, this one mate,' Jack replied, looking at Barbosa as if he was not all there.
'I think you'll find this be my ship, Sparrow, but now you're up here, care to introduce me to your beautiful lady friends?' he asked, eyeing up Elizabeth, who quickly looked in another direction.
'No,' Jack replied bluntly, glancing behind him.
'So-'Jack was about to speak when one of the crew members shouted.
'Captain! They'ra approaching fast!' Both Jack and Barbosa looked around and saw the Dauntless approaching from behind.
'Impossible,' wondered Barbosa, 'The pearl is the fastest vessel that floats.'
'Well it appears the Dauntless is faster without the wind,' said Elizabeth smugly.
'With all due respect miss, shut it before you land up in another brig,' retorted Barbosa.
'She's right,' said Jack begrudgingly. 'Well as captain of the ship, I say we stop, let these two lovely ladies depart our company, then carry on as normal. Weigh anchor you filthy toads!' Jack ordered, somewhat delightedly. Elizabeth smiled at Jack gratefully, but Victoria was scowling at Barbosa as he started giving his own orders.
'Nay, belay that! I am captain of this ship Sparrow, therefore I give the orders.'
'Belay that belay that!' shouted Jack. Barbosa looked at him, one shaggy eyebrow raised. 'Let's just let Lizzie and Vickie get off,' he said with a chuckle as both women gave him dirty looks, 'then figure out this captain issue. 'What do you need them for anyway?'..
'Wouldn't you like to know, Sparrow?'
'Well I wouldnt've asked otherwise mate,' replied Jack, feeling rather smart with a wide grin appearing on his dirty face.
Dumbfounded for once, Barbose began, 'I, er, well I... What in the blazes was that?' The Pearl took a massive blow to the back, shaking the whole ship.
'Cannon fire,' Elizabeth informed the captains with a sarcastic innocent smile on her face.
'Elizabeth!' a man's voice shouted from the now very near Dauntless. Elizabeth turned hurriedly expecting to see James, but her face fell when she saw Will throwing ropes from the Dauntless to the Pearl. In contrast, in the corner of her eye, she saw Victoria's face light up...
A/N a bit short but we hope you've enjoyed it x
