Chapter Thirteen
One Last Shot
Elizabeth and Charlotte jumped out of the boat when it reached the shore and ran inside. Charlotte grabbed her hand and made her run faster. They stopped abruptly when they came to the entrance and saw Will on the floor with a pirate stood over him with a sword pointing threateningly at him.
"I'm gunna teach you the meaning of pain." He growled. Elizabeth leaped and grabbed an oar and ran forward. Her entrance had made the pirate stop for a second.
"Do you like pain?" she asked and knocked the pirate over the head with the oar. "Try wearing a corset." Charlotte snorted and smiled. She ran forward to help Elizabeth get Will up. Will smiled and hugged her when he saw her. She turned around and froze when she saw Jack as a skeleton. It looked absolutely weird.
"Whose side is Jack on?" she asked curiously and he shrugged.
"At the moment?" Will said as they strung three pirates together and Will grabbed a grenade and stuck it into the middle pirate and pushed them into the moonlight.
"No fair." One of them said just before they exploded. Charlotte was a little annoyed that Will had not answered her question but let it go. Charlotte turned to see Jack cut his hand and wiped some of the blood onto the medallion he had in his hand and tossed it to Will. She bit her lip as Barbossa aimed his pistol at Elizabeth and Charlotte, who were stood next to each other and stayed still. Jack quickly shot Barbossa as he was staring at the girls and turned to looked at Jack.
"Ten years you carry that pistol, and now you waste your shot." He said and shook his head with a smirk on his face.
"He didn't waste it." Will said loudly and dropped both medallions into the chest. They all watched as Barbossa dropped his sword and looked at the blood that was spreading from his wound in his chest.
"I feel cold." He said softly and suddenly fell to his knees and fell dead on the ground. An apple rolled from his hand and everything was silent, the curse was finally lifted. Charlotte smiled and looked at Jack. He smiled back and walked towards her. He grabbed her in a hug and Elizabeth ran to Will.
"You looked funny as a skeleton, may I just say." Charlotte pointed out.
"Did I?" Charlotte nodded her head and pressed her lips against his softly.
"We should return to The Dauntless." Elizabeth said, interrupting them. Charlotte pulled away and blushed. Will smiled slightly and nodded to what Elizabeth just said.
"Your fiancé will want to know you're safe." He said and watched as Elizabeth turned away from him and looked down. Charlotte walked up to her and smiled, while Jack went to Will.
"If you were waiting for the opportune moment that was it. Now, if you'll be so kind, I'd be much obliged if you'd drop me off my ship." Jack walked over to Charlotte and put his arm around her and they all walked outside and got into the boat. Will rowed them over to The Dauntless as The Black Pearlwas no longer there.
"I am so sorry Jack." Elizabeth said sincerely.
"They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that." He said tiredly and Charlotte hid her face in the crook of his neck.
