A/N: Alright, I promised you guys a quick update so here it is. I think this is probably a pretty long chapter...hmm...dunno, haven't written it yet. Oh and one thing, to the 7 people who put my story on their alert list...WHY WON'T YOU REVIEW? What's the point of putting a story on alert if you're not going to bother reviewing what you read? I would appreciate it if I got feedback from you!
Now to respond to some reviews:
ThEgIrLsMiLeS25: I appreciate the review, one quick note though. Will and Emily can't get together, Emily's married remember? If she wasn't married I might have put them together...hmm...and no, she wouldn't cheat on her husband. Oh god, hopefully this didn't seem mean.
TETC: Glad you liked the chapter! I'll defiently have to consider that advice...
Caroliine: Thanks for the review! Promise to give you more!
ArgyleNinja: What were you guys talking about for three hours?
soup kitchen: THANK YOU
ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Angelina worked on the ship as best as she could until finally land was spotted. She was instructed to get into one of the longboats with Elizabeth, Ragetti, Pintel, and smelly Norrington.
"You should probably leave Angelina here." Jason said, taking Angelina into his arms. "She might get in the way."
"Actually, I need her to watch Elizabeth." Captain Jack lied, taking her away from him.
"That makes no sense!" Jason exploded, reaching for Angelina.
"Just watch the ship." Captian Jack ordered, getting into the rowboat along with everyone else.
Once the rowboat was moving toward the island, Angelina was sitting on Elizabeth's lap while Captain Jack clutched a jar of dirt.
"Does he really need that?" Angelina inquired.
"You're guess is as good as mine." Elizabeth replied, rolling her eyes at Captain Jack.
Once the rowboat bumped up on the shore, everyone went toward the spot the compass was pointing while Angelina stayed behind to throw rocks into the water. She wondered why her mum's first mate, or friend or something was so obsessed with keeping her around him. She wanted to stay by Captain Jack but he was so persistent about keeping her near him. And didn't her mum say that if something happened to her Jason was supposed to take her home? Maybe that was because Captain Jack hadn't given the order to go back home.
She sat down in the sand, letting the waves get as far as her feet. She picked up a wet stick that had washed up beside her and started tracing a picture in the wet sand. The heart was slightly lopsided, and had a few holes, kind of like puncture wounds, inside of it. This heart had been flashing in and out of her mind for quite some time now, ever since she saw her mum getting taken by Davy Jones.
"Who's heart would that be then?" The pirate Pintel asked from behind her, laying a crusted hand on her shoulder and peering over,
"I'm not really sure." She answered truthfully as another wave rolled in, washing away all remains of the heart. "But it's going to get hurt very bad."
"Physically or emotionally?" Ragetti questioned, standing beside Pintel.
Angelina turned her head slightly, as if to inquire to what he meant by that, but then turned back, the frown still plainly visible on her face.
"You know..." Pintel said, sitting down beside her. "You could always talk to us."
Unaware that these pirates were not like Captain Jack, well unless you count stupidity and hygiene, but rather as in the fact that Captain Jack at least had some heart. But Angelina thought that these pirates were just like Captain Jack, and were really just trying to help her. That is, until, Pintel's hand went further down her back and she felt the back of her blouse unbutton. Just as she jumped up and opened her mouth to scream, and familiar voice cut through the air;
"Don't you touch her."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Will and I had snuck off the Flying Ducthman and climbed up on the island sandbar just in time to see Pintel unbuttoning Angelina's dress. I got as close as I could and held my sword out threatningly, actually able to hold up the weight of the sword without dropping it.
"I said, don't touch her." I repeated in such a threatning tone that made Pintel jump back and on his feet.
Angelina at first stared at me, as if she had no clue who I was. Then suddenly, her eyes became very wide and she ran for me. I tossed my sword aside and crouched down, catching her in my arms at the very last moment. I held onto her as tightly as I could, as if I let her could she would just evaporate into the clouds.
"Mummy..." She whispered, and her body quivered.
"Oh Angelina." I replied, feeling hot tears roll down my face as I straightened my posture, still not releasing the grip I had on her. "I love you so much."
"I love you too Mum. Please don't ever leave me again."
"I won't Angelina, I promise."
Finally she pulled back, wiping the tears away from her face, and then mine.
"Mummy, I want to go home."
Angelina had never really demanded anything. She would ask if she could please do or have something, but she never said 'want.'
"Don't worry sweetie. As soon as we finish up here, I will take you home. We can both go hug daddy again."
I finally turned to see what everyone else was doing, just so I would know how long we would be there until we got back to the ship. Will and Jack were swordfighting along with this other man, and a woman was running after those two jackass pirates Ragetti and Pintel.
"Who's that?" I asked, pointing to the woman.
"That's Elizabeth Swann. She's been taking care of me most of the time. She found me in a bar after Captain Jack sort of left."
Note to self: kick Jack's ass for abandoning Angelina in a bar.
"And that man?"
"That's smelly Norrington." She answered, pinching her nose shut as if she could smell him from across the beach.
Angelina suddenly screamed, obviously noticing something for the way I was holding her, she was facing the water. I spun around to see at least thirty or fourty of Davy Jones' crew mates coming up on the beach, armed with large swords. I stepped backwards a bit, trying to feel for the spot where I had dropped my sword.
"Well, well, well. Look we got 'ere." One with a fin shaped head chuckled, extending out an alge covered finger at me.
"Ain't this the girl who escaped from the ship with Turner?" Another added, all of them advancing on me.
I finally found my sword and moved with with my foot so I could catch it in my hand. Without wasting another second I started off into the forest, not daring to look behind me to see how many were actually following. I climbed up into a tree and sat Angelina down on one of the branches that was hidden well in the tree leaves. I peered below to see about five fish headed creatures below them. I took a deep breath and slid down the bark of the tree, landing in front of them.
"Looks like you're in trouble weviel." One stated as I backed up, pulling my sword out of it's sheath.
I took another deep breath and actually let a smile pass by my lips. I didn't respond to the comment, but immidietaly started swordfighting with the first one. Our swords locked in mid air and then clashed from side to side, so I finally knocked him back in time to parry a blow to my chest from another one of them. I jumped back, not catching a different blow from the third guy and getting a nice big cut across my arm.
Ignoring the seering pain in my good arm, I switched my sword to my left arm and attempted to swordfight with that arm instead. But I was much worse, and to prove for it I had cuts all over my arms and legs. Suddenly a giant wheel came spinning through, crushing four of the five sea creatures underneath it. Will and Norrington were on top swordfighting while Jack was running after something inside. (A/N: I know it was convinent, but blah!)
I tore off the sleeves of my shirt and wrapped up the cuts before climbing back up the tree to retrieve Angelina.
"My best bet, we follow them." I said, shifting her onto my back and darting away from the last sea creature.
I ran after the wheel for a bit, even after Jack had jumped out of it. But when the wheel rolled down a hill, I stopped and ran back toward Jack, who was opening a chest.
"Please don't tell me that heart is in there." I stated, turning away from the box a bit.
"Of course it is dear. And see, I told you I would take care of your little girl."
"You left her in a bar." I replied dryly, moving Angelina over toward the front.
"Well that was a mistake. Speaking of mistakes love, I need to tell you something as we run back to the beach."
I darted with Jack, eager to listen to his plan, which I was sure he was going to tell me. But instead he surprised me, and brought up Jason instead.
"You're first mate Jason, I don't think he can be trusted." Jack said as we got closer to the beach.
"Jack? I've known Jason for several years now, why wouldn't I trust him? And why should I take your word for it?"
"Emily." Jack stopped dead, standing in front of me making sure that I was completely focused on him. "You can't be around that lad. He's bad news."
"Captain Jack has been keeping me away from him." Angelina added, hoping to ease the tension that people from a mile away could feel.
"Jack, I trust Jason with all my heart and soul alright? He's fine. Leave the poor lad alone. Probably scared out of his mind about me while I was stuck on that acursed ship."
"No Em, you've got to listen..."
I pushed past him, fuming. The only reason he was saying this was because he was probably drunk most of the time. What would he know? He was a moron! When we got back to the beach, the sea creatures were beginning to encircle us, leaving no room for escape. I stuck Angelina in the rowboat, making sure I was standing directly in front of it or around it. Jack knocked Will out with his oar, which I wasn't too clear on because with the fourty sea creatures that were around us, we would need all the help we could get.
"Will!" Elizabeth gasped, leaning over to try and wake him up.
"Leave him!" Jack ordered, turning back to the real problem. "Unless you plan on using him to hit something with."
We continued to try and hold them off for awhile, but it was becoming useless.
"We're not getting out of this." Elizabeth stated.
"Not with the chest. Into the boat."
Everyone piled into the rowboat and Norrington pushed it out into the water, scooping the chest up in his arms.
"You're mad!" Elizabeth gasped, cradling Will in her lap.
"Welcome to my world." I muttered under my breath with a sidelong glance at Jack.
"Don't wait for me."
And with that Norrington took off down the beach with all the sea creatures running after him as Ragetti and Pintel began to row us back toward the Black Pearl.
"Uh, I say we respect his final wish."
When we reached the boat, I carried Angelina onto the deck and kept her by the main wheel, not wanting to stick her down below where I wouldn't be able to watch her all the time.
"Glad to see you're back in once peace!" Jason greeted me with a handshake before handing me a towel.
"Barely." I grinned, gesturing toward all the strips of cloth on my arms and legs.
"You're top and bottom are attached, that's all that matters."
The rest of my crew also came to greet me and welcome me back, that is except Orpheus. Orpheus was leaning against the railing, still dressed in his black pirate garb. But the only difference was that he wasn't glaring at me this time, but rather Jason. I furrowed my brows slightly confused. Why was everyone suddenly against Jason? Was there something Jack and Orpheus were seeing that I wasn't? Unlikely.
My thoughts were interruped when the Flying Dutchman suddenly exploded out from under the sea, making Angelina scream in surprise and run into my arms.
"Lord almighty." Gibbs murmured.
"I'll handle this, mate." Jack replied.
"Right." I added wathcing him hold his jar of dirt over his head.
"Hey! Fishface! Lose something?"
Jack suddenly lost his balance and tumbled down a set of stairs and both Angelina and I burst out laughing, which was probably one of the most wrong time to do so.
"Go it!" Jack confirmed, straightening his composure. "Come to negotiate, eh, have you, you slimey git? Look what I got? I got a jar of dirt! I got a jar of dirt! And guess what's inside it?"
More laughter.
"ENOUGH!" Davy Jones yelled, and a moment later a bunch of cannons came out of the ship.
"HARD TO STARBOARD!" I commanded, realizing that no one was actually going to step to it.
"Brace up the foreyard!" Will ordered, getting up by me.
"FIRE!" Davy Jones yelled and cannons blasted through the air, smashing up part of the ship.
After awhile of this we began to lose sight of them, which was what Will was most worried about. A look of terror passed over his face as the rest of the crew was rejoicing, happy that they were actually away from death. The ship suddenly jerked violently, nearly throwing me over the top railing.
"We must've hit a reef!" Gibbs noted, peering over the side of the ship.
"Oh damn..." I murmured, holding Angelina as close as I could to me. "This is going to be REAL fun."
"It's not a reef! It's the Kraken!"
