Once I had calmed down I rejoined everyone on deck. I walked over to the helm where our substitute Captain, Anamaria, was with Gibbs.
"The Black Pearl. She's gaining on us" Anamaria shouted.
"This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean" Lizzie said confused.
"No the Black Pearl is" I told her.
"You can tell them that after they've caught us" Anamaria told Lizzie.
I looked at the water to see if there way anything that could help us when I noticed something.
"We're shallow on the drift right?" Lizzie asked.
"Aye" Anamaria agreed.
"Well then we can lose them amongst those shoals?" I pointed out.
"We don't have to outrun them long just long enough" Gibbs grinned at me proudly.
Anamaria thought for a moment before agreeing.
"Lighten the ship! Stem to stern!" she ordered.
"Anything that we can afford to lose see that its lost" Gibbs yelled.
The crew did as they were told lightening the ship while I walked down from the helm and over to the railing.
"Jack I'll save you I promise...that's if your not dead already" I whispered, looking at the Black Pearl.
I then ran off helping the crew lighten the ship.
After a while I ran up to the helm.
"Anamaria" I said.
"I know. It was a good plan till now" she said, looking at Lizzie.
"Gibbs, Anamaria we have to fight" I said.
"With what?" Anamaria asked.
"Anything and everything! Anything we have left" Will said, agreeing with me.
Gibbs started shouting out orders while I stayed with Anamaria and Lizzie at the helm.
Lizzie looked at me and we nodded at each other.
"Lower the anchor on the right side" she ordered.
Anamaria did nothing.
"Starboard side. NOW!" I yelled.
"It certainly has the element of surprise" Will told us.
"You're daft lady! You all are!" Anamaria yelled.
"Aye. Daft like Jack" Gibbs said.
Gibbs grinned at me and I smiled back happy.
"Lower the starboard anchor! Do it ya dogs or it's you we'll load into the cannons!" Gibbs shouted.
Lizzie and I ran to the railing watching.
"Let go!" I yelled at Anamaria.
She took her hands off the wheel. The ship swung around so we reached the Pearl's side and fired our cannon's.
We started fighting. Barbossa's crew swung over luckily I had my sword handy.
I saw Lizzie trying to fight someone but she was losing. I ran over chopping his head off and kicking his body off the ship.
"Well done love. Who taught you to fight like that?" Jack asked, surprising me.
"Jack! Your not dead! And to answer your question Nobody. Will taught me to fight but not like this. It just came to me" I smiled sweetly.
"Elizabeth where's the medallion?" Jack asked.
"Jack" I warned.
"Okay. Where's young William?" he then asked.
"Will!" Elizabeth yelled.
Elizabeth ran trying to find Will.
"Will" I shouted, seeing him trapped below deck.
"Elizabeth! Bella!" he yelled.
"It won't budge" Lizzie cried.
Before I could try and help her I was grabbed from behind and carried to the Black Pearl. I was then tied up with the crew.
"Any of you as much as think the word Parley I'll have your guts for garters" a pirate yelled.
"Parley" I smirked.
He just glared at me.
"Welcome back, Missy. You took advantage of our hospitality last time. It holds fair now you return the favour" he sneered, shoving her to the crew who groped her.
"Leave my sister alone!" I yelled.
"NO!" a voice shouted.
"Will!" Elizabeth and I cried.
He stood on the railing.
"They go free" he yelled, pointing a pistol at Barbossa.
"What's in your head, boy?" Barbossa questioned.
"They go free" he repeated, jumping off the railing.
"You've only got one shot and we can't die" Barbossa smirked, still holding my arm.
"Don't do anything stupid" Jack begged.
Will ignored him and jumped back on the railing pointing the pistol at his chin.
"You can't...but I can" he replied.
"Like that" Jack mumbled.
"Who are you?" Barbossa asked.
"No, no, he's no none. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice though, eunuch" Jack spoke, stepping in waving his arms around.
"My name is William Turner. My Father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs though my veins" Will announced loudly.
"He's the spitting image of ol' Bootstrap come back to haunt us" Ragetti pointed out.
"On my word do as I say or I'll pull the trigger and be lost to Davy Jones locker" Will threatened.
"Name your terms Mr Turner" Barbossa said almost sarcastically.
"Elizabeth and Isabella go free"
"Who's Isabella" Barbossa asked.
"Me" I yelled.
"Anything else?" he questioned.
"The crew are not harmed" Will replied.
"Agreed" Barbossa smirked.
...
The crew were all taken below while Elizabeth, Jack and I were being made to walk the plank.
Elizabeth was made to walk first.
"Barbossa you lying bastard! You swore they'd go free!" Will yelled angrily.
"Don't dare impugn me honour, boy. I agreed they'd go free but it was you who failed to specify when or where" Barbossa told him.
Will was then gagged and dragged down below.
"Though it does seem a shame to lose something so fine, don't it lads?" Barbossa asked.
"Aye!" the whole crew yelled.
"So I'll be 'aving that dress back before you go" he said to Elizabeth.
That's the moment I noticed the dress Elizabeth was wearing. It was a deep red dress that looked like a whore's dress but longer.
She took it off leaving her in her nightgown she was wearing the night she was kidnapped.
"Goes with your black heart" Elizabeth said, throwing the dress at him.
Barbossa pressed the dress against his face.
"Ooh still warm" he said, throwing it to his laughing crew.
"Too long" Bo'sun said, stamping on the plank.
Elizabeth fell into the sea.
"Lizzie!" I yelled.
I got up punched Barbossa in the face before jumping into the sea to save my sister.
"Come on Liz lets get to that island" I told her, helping her swim.
Elizabeth had never leant to swim and it didn't come naturally to her like it did to me. Swimming just came naturally to me and swimming at sea felt like home.
