This is a bit of a short chapter just to let you know, because I didn't really get a chance to write a whole lot, but I wanted to get another chapter out for all you. I was out of town this week and just have recently seen the second Thor movie (which is amazing by the way. I recommend all of you to see it if you like the marvel movies) and I am kind of hung up on that, so that is why it is kind of shorter than the others ( by not that much really).

I have been slowly trying to work on writing better description since as I have reread some of the previous chapters I found that I lack in that area badly. So if you have any advice to help, please comment or PM me!

I hope y'all had a great weekend so far! Sarah is in this chapter! Whoop whoop!

Disclaimer: I do not own any rights to Pirates of the Caribbean. I only own Abigail Unger and Sarah Williams.

I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 10:
Dining with the Captain

"Thank you for trying to warn me," Elizabeth whispered to Sarah in the captain's cabin of the Black Pearl.

Sarah shrugged. "It's nothing. Just trying to help somebody else for the greater good and all that."

Elizabeth rose her head and narrowed her eyes. "How did you know they were going to come after me?"

"Well you're the governors daughter. Why wouldn't pirates come after you?" Elizabeth thoughtfully nodded her head, understanding on where Sarah was coming from.

Sarah looked down on the floorboards and watched the shadow of the flames flicker. In a low voice she asked, "Why did you use that blacksmith's last name and not your own?"

"Well…" Elizabeth began, not knowing what so say, "It…it just popped in my head at the moment. And besides, I wanted not to be some bargaining tool if they knew who I really was."

Sarah laughed. "With that last name that you used though, it sure did look like it was familiar to them. Like something they wanted to hear."

"You have a point there…Sarah is it?"

Sarah nodded.

Elizabeth scooted closer to her. "Do you mind if I ask you something?"

"Not at all," Sarah answered, "ask away."

Elizabeth shifted herself so she face directly across from Sarah. "Do you know why they would've taken you too?"

Sarah looked at Elizabeth with a questionable glance. "I…I don't really know…"

Elizabeth's eyebrows drew together. "Well there would have to be a reason."

"Unless they're not telling. They probably want me for back up if something goes wrong…"

"I'm sorry?"

Sarah blinked. "What?"

"You just said something," Elizabeth told her with concern.

Sarah shook her head. "No I didn't. I said nothing at all."

"But you just said-"

Cutting Elizabeth off, Sarah changed the subject, "We are on a pirate ship full of undead pirates. It's strange how things work out like that in life, doesn't it?"

The governor's daughter nodded in agreement, but becoming weary and cautious of the girl. "Strange indeed."

Just then, the doors creaked open and the two pirates, Pintel and Regetti emerged through carrying a dress.

Elizabeth stood up quickly and walked over.

"You'll be dining with the captain," Pintel said holding the dress towards Elizabeth, "And he requests you to wear this."

Elizabeth looked down at the dress and back up at Pintel with a sour look. "You tell the captain that I am disinclined to acquiesce to his request."

The pirates looked at each other with a smile. "He said you'd say that," Pintel told her. "He also said if that'd be the case, you'll be dining with the crew. And you'll be naked." Regetti started to laugh.

Sarah stood up with scrunched up her nose. "You're disgusting little pigs, aren't you? You're basically blackmailing her to wear that stupid dress and eating with a very creepy captain!"

"He also said if you make a remark like that you will also be dining with the crew naked."

With a glare, Sarah pretended to zip her lips shut, but than pretended to open them back up and noted, "You know why I am doing this? It's because you don't deserve to see all this sexiness that is my body." She "zipped" her lips back shut with a smirk. Elizabeth held back a small laugh.

"Are you always like this?" Regetti asked Sarah, rubbing his fake eye.

Sarah nodded. "Sometimes. So where is my fancy dress?"

Pintel gave her a fake smile, "We only had one."

Folding her arms, Sarah pouted. "Dang it."

Quickly, Elizabeth pulled the dress out of Pintel's grasp and folded it in her arms. The two pirates frowned at her actions.

"Fine," Pintel said, disappointed..

Now in the captain's cabin, on the long narrow table in the center of the room, pirates decorated it with dishes of food and utensils. Candles were set around to illuminate to space. They glowed in the dark, leaving it dim, but good enough to see.

Elizabeth cut through the cooked pig on one of the plates and slowly took a piece and ate it. Sarah did not reach towards any of the food, no matter how much her stomach growled in protest.

"There's no need to stand on ceremony, nor call to impress. You both must be hungry," Barbossa thought aloud, noticing both of the girls' hungry stares at the food before them.

Elizabeth licked her lips. Her eyes were wide and she dropped her fork and grabbed one of the pig's megs and took a large messy bite out of it. Sarah watched as Elizabeth scarf down the food and wish to do the same, but she would not give in. Some of the food might be poisoned.

As if Barbossa read her mind, he told her, "None of the food is poisoned, Miss Williams. Eat away, as this is all for the two of you."

Giving in to her stomach pleas, Sarah leaped out of her seat and took a mouthful of a biscuit from a nearby bowl. She sighed as she chewed, taking in all the flavor. She definitely had better food before, but this was the first time she ate in a day. She had to love it.

Still staring at Elizabeth eat the leg and move on to a biscuit, Barbossa pored a drink into to cups and handed it to the both of them. "Try the wine."

Elizabeth snatched the cup out of his hand and chugged. Barbossa's eyes moved to Sarah for as she didn't grab hers.

"Try it," he said again.

Sarah swallowed. She had never had a full glass of any wine before. Of course she may have had a sip or two before, but never this much. It made her uneasy.

Barbossa pushed the cup out further and Sarah warily grabbed it, scared to take even a sip. The captain's wide eyes still watched her as she nursed the beverage. The stare made the girl uncomfortable so she finally took a drink.

Caught off guard by the strength of the taste, Sarah almost spat it back out, but continued to swallow it. She felt it run down her throat. The drink left a bitter taste in her mouth and made her nose crinkle up.

When Sarah looked up, Barbossa was holding a bright green apple towards Elizabeth. This time though, she hesitated. Elizabeth glanced up at the monkey Jack and dropped the biscuit.

"It's poisoned," Elizabeth guessed, eyeing the apple with a careful watch.

"There would be no sense in killing you," Barbossa assured her.

She narrowed her eyes. "Release Sarah and I! You have your trinket. We are no further value to you."

Barbossa never left his eyes off of her as he pulled the medallion out of his coat and held it up. "You don't know what this is, do you?"

"It's a pirate medallion," Elizabeth answered with a sneer.

Sarah swallowed hard. "Isn't that some type of aztecki-whatever gold?"

"This is Aztec gold. Miss Williams was very close," Informed, swinging the medallion from the chain. "One of the 882 identical pieces they delivered from a stone chest Cortes himself. Blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wrecked upon them with his armies. But greed of Cortes was insatiable. So the heathen gods placed upon the gold a terrible curse. Any mortal the removes but a single piece from that stone chest, shall be punished for eternity. "

Sarah narrowed her eyes. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, how can they all be identical? No two coins is ever the same."

Barbossa moved his eyes to her. "Believe me. I have seen them all. They are all identical."

Elizabeth shook her head, no believing what she was just told. "I hardly believe in ghost stories anymore, captain."

"I do," Sarah mumbled, folding her arms.

"Aye," Barbossa agreed, standing straight. "That's exactly what I thought when we were told the tale. Buried on an island dead what cannot be found, except for those who know where it is."

He walked to the side of the chair Elizabeth now sat on, passing Sarah. "Find it, we did. There be the chest. Inside be the gold. And we took them all." Barbossa grabbed at the air, acting out his speech. "We spent them and traded them and frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company." Barbossa leaned close to the side of Sarah's face. "The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize, the drink would not satisfy, the food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men, Miss Williams and Miss Turner." He backed away from the brunette. " Compelled by greed we were, but now we are consumed by it."

The monkey screeched. Barbossa looked over to the monkey and walked towards it. Sarah caught a glint a the corner of her eye.
Elizabeth pulled one of the silver knifes down onto the napkin on her lap, and hid it. Sarah gave her a bewildered look, but she understood. She didn't trust the captain either and would do the same.

"There is one way we can end our curse," Barbossa continued while stroking the monkey. He handed the medallion to it and walked back over to the girls with the monkey on his shoulder. "All the scattered pieces of the Aztec gold must be restored and blood repaid."

Jack jumped off of his shoulder and ran on the floor to another part of the room.

"And thanks to ye two, we have the final piece."

Simultaneously, Sarah and Elizabeth asked, "And the blood to be repaid?"

"That's why there's no sense to be killing' you yet. Apple?"

Both the girl's eyes grew wide and Elizabeth sprung up and knocked the apple out of his hand with the silver knife pointed at Barbossa trying to stab him.

She ran to the other side of the room.

Barbossa and Elizabeth chased each other around a wall. Sarah grabbed a fork and ran behind Barbossa. He moved away before Sarah could stab him, and grabbed Elizabeth.

The knife fell out of Elizabeth's hand and Sarah stabbed him in the chest.

Barbossa looked down at the fork sticking out of his chest and back up at the girls two were backing away with their mouths wide open in shock. He pulled the fork out of him and held it up. Blood dripped from the fork.

"I'm curious," Barbossa thought out loud, "After killing me, what do you're planning on doing next?"

Both Sarah and Elizabeth stumbled back into the doors and out onto the deck in the moonlight.
