I don't own any of these characters…but I DO wish I owned Orlando Bloom…or Will Turner…or Johnny Depp…or Captain Jack Sparrow…  *-*  Ha….me and Jack Sparrow…I can just imagine the looks I'd get from all my friends…and it'd be worth every second….

A/N: This is an alternate ending to the movie- I'm sure that if you read the preceding chapters, you'll know what's been going on and whatnot….Savvy?*-*

A/N #2: This is the chapter you wanted…and I'm giving it to you…Savvy?

A/N #3: Ok…sorry that this chapter is so short…. but school is STILL a fucking killer (sorry for the language…) ever since the 1st day! So…I hope you like it…sorry it took so long too….

A/N #4: If you want the chapters to be posted more often than once a month, then REVIEW!!! It seriously helps me, and my moral, so that I can write! If everyone who reads this reviews, the chapters would be posted so much more often because I'd know how high of a demand I'm in…. (But to those WONDERFUL people who've already reviewed…. I LOVE YOU!!!) But yeah, even if it's only a sentence or two long (which I hope it'd be longer…honestly…) just take a minute to review…. it's not going to do you any harm not to, so why not do it? *-* Savvy?

A/N #5: WARNING!!!! SOME VERY DARK STUFF HAPPENS AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER! IF YOU ARE EASILY FREAKED OUT OR OFFENDED BY *ahem* "DARK THINGS" THEN PLEASE DON'T READ THE END OF THE CHAPTER. I will have a summary of the basic ideas of what went on in the next chapter, so you won't fell like you've missed out. And also, just to tell you, the dark stuff happens when the year changes…you'll know what I mean.

Summary: This is like an alternate ending to the movie…I'm at the spot where…well…read the "previously" thing….

Previously on Defeat:

Will was stunned. Elizabeth had just blown up at him and said she may never want to speak to him again. He looked down and sighed silently. Never had he felt so horrible in his entire life. He wanted to curl up and die… because he had tried; he had tried so hard to not hurt Elizabeth, to be perfect for her, so that she would at least glance his way every now and again. But now, now that didn't look like it was ever going to happen again. Gone were the days when trivial arguments were mended within minutes, now it was time to face the reality of their situation and he didn't know what to do.

Jack sat in the cell, still as ever. He hadn't moved the slightest inch since Barbossa had stormed in with Elizabeth. He had kept on pretending like he was sleeping…not wanting to catch the immediate attention of Barbossa. He wasn't quite certain about it yet, but something told him there was going to be hell in the brig of the Pearl that night. No planning or escaping could go on. Jack knew Barbossa, Elizabeth and Will, and knowing them, tonight was not going to be a lovely night after all. Not that it already wasn't, but Jack could tell that there was going to be heat in the air, with Elizabeth's ordeals and her now probably flaring temper, she was going to wreak havoc of poor, naïve little Will. There wasn't really anything that he could do except stay still and watch. And he did…

"God, what a sad sight ta see..." Jack thought to himself as he listened to Elizabeth rant at Will. "Will looks absolutely beside himself…more than before…and well…can't deny it, that was a lot…" But then he shifted his eyes over towards Elizabeth, and he felt for her too, she had, in fact, lost everything she loved. "Aye, she has…but lets hope she hasn't lost 'er love fer young Turner…I can't even think of what he'd do to gain it back…She's angry…and rightly so, but she's got ta think of the bigger picture 'ere…" Jack sat there for some time, dwelling over the thoughts running through that sly head of his, and finally he came upon the conclusion that this situation wasn't going to get any better, but at the same time, it probably couldn't get any worse, at least, not between the three of them, he couldn't say anything about Barbossa.

Jack was torn, between what Elizabeth was saying and who Will was, and he couldn't decide whom to side with. Yes, he was mad as hell with Will, for making him, once again, a captive on his own ship, but Will didn't mean for that to happen. In fact, Will didn't mean for a lot of things to happen, but they did. And there was absolutely no changing that now. But the point was, he didn't know who to side with, although, then again, he wasn't being pressed with that question by anyone else, so why should he pressure himself into choosing? He thought for a moment before his head started to go into miniature chaos, and he wished again for just a bit of rum… it wasn't the first time, and it of course was not the last time this night he would want rum.

Though a tiny battle waged a war in his head, Jack remained very calm on the outside. He really hadn't budged since he had gotten into his feigned sleeping position, and at this point, he wasn't going to. If Will and Elizabeth were fighting, he didn't want a part in a quarrel that could cause either one or both of those two to hate him: another reason for his momentary "indifference" on the topic of Will and Elizabeth.

A topic he did have a judgment on was the matter of Elizabeth's food deprivation. That was brutal. It was one thing to eat little all the time and then go to eating nothing, but a totally different thing to eat like a queen and then go slumming for a few days, skip a couple meals and then eat nothing. Jack knew Elizabeth's stomach would be begging for something… anything by the day after next, and that was only if she was really as strong as he assumed her to be…

And what then, what would they do? Just let her starve and then let Barbossa and his crew have their share of her? "That wouldn't go over too well with young master Will over there…" Jack thought to himself, "then again, it'd not go over too well with meself either…" He started to think of ways to actually give Elizabeth food and drink, if it weren't poisoned already, without having any of Barbossa's crew knowing; because if they did happen to find that minor detail out, all three of them would pay dearly. So he sat there… In the corner of his cell, thinking… thinking… thinking… Or trying to at least… His rum deprivation was starting to annoy him more than what was desirable to him. The topic of rum kept creeping, ever so subtly into every plan he tried to formulate. Finally, after a while of contemplating food, rum, Will, Elizabeth, and Barbossa, Jack decided it was finally time to turn in for the night.

He adjusted his hat from the slightly tipped position it was in, so he could see anything going on, to full on, over his dark brown eyes, blocking most of, if not all, the dim and eerie light that licked the walls of the Black Pearl's brig. Then, he shut his kohl-smudged eyes ever so softly and drifted off into sleep.

Barbossa was absolutely infuriated. Anger was engulfing every inch of his body, replacing the ever-abundant lust that had been there not more than mere minutes ago. Elizabeth, that little whore… no wait, if she were a whore, he would be with her still aboard the Dauntless at this very moment. He didn't know what to call her, so his mind settled on "girl."

            That girl had caused him nothing but trouble to begin with, and now she was only making even more of a fuss. That would change though… oh, yes it would. "By tomarrah evenin', she'll be beggin' fer somethin'," he thought happily. There was nothing so rewarding as having a woman fall to her knees and beg. Barbossa smiled to himself, "Ahh… this'll be so much more fun than that Evers girl…"

*20 years prior to the present time*

            "That bastard! That lying cheating son of a whore… no… he will pay…oh yes… he will pay…" Barbossa thought in his raging head.

            Thomas Evers, a member of his lowly crew had in fact just stolen from him. A mere trifle really, just a single gold locket, but he had stolen it and walked ashore with it nonetheless. There was no way this Evers was going to get away with this, no way in hell. Barbossa stalked down the crowded streets to where Evers was staying. It was an inn, a quaint, Dutch inn, with budding tulips lining the windowsills.

            "This'll be too easy," Barbossa thought to himself as he opened the door to the inn.

            Immediately, he was embraced in a warn, cozy bout of air, but he shrugged it off, ignoring the ambience of the inn. He walked over to the owner of the inn, who was tending the bar. "Where is he?" he asked gruffly.

            The Barkeeper, a Dutch immigrant, had absolutely no idea who "he" was. "I'm sorry, who?" he asked timidly in a thick Dutch accent.

            Barbossa hadn't been one to suffer fools, and he wasn't going to start now. His arm shot across the bar and grabbed the owner's throat. "Evers," was all he said.

            That jogged the barkeeper's memory enough for him to gesture a pudgy arm towards the stairs and say, "Room two," feebly.

            Barbossa released him roughly and went up the stairs to room two. He barged in through the door, revealing the contents: a simple wooden dresser, a chair, a rumpled bed and a man and a woman rumpling the bed ever so much more.

            "Thomas… oh… Thomas…mmmm," the woman said in a tick Dutch accent, moaning as the man licked and kissed her pale neck.

            The man, known as Thomas Evers, did not disappoint. He kept at her soft neck that held a familiar gold locket, until Barbossa shouted, "EVERS!"

            He stopped: immediately. Then he turned around slowly, His passion-flushed face blanched instantly. "Oh… um… Cap'n…" was all he could say, and even then, he was panting out the words.

            "Ye stole from me, ye two-timin' son of a bitch!" Barbossa roared.

            Thomas shook his head lamely. "no… no… Cap'n, remember? Ye were drinkin' an' ye gave it ter me! For helpin' with the last raid… I swear… I didn' steal nuthin'…" he was panicking  and sweat was pouring down in thick beads down his forehead.

            Barbossa wouldn't take these lies; he went over and punched Thomas in the jaw so hard a sharp crack was heard throughout the room. "GIVE IT BACK!" he screamed.

            "But… but you," Thomas struggled to fight tears, his jaw on fire, but somehow it wasn't broken.

            Barbossa turned to the girl, "Give it ter me, bitch!" he shouted at her. She refused, and shook her head, clinging to Thomas' waist. "All righ', fine," he said as he took out his pistol and aimed it at the girl. "On yer knees," he demanded.

            Thomas' eyes widened in utter shock. "No… don't…she's… please…" He was pleading Barbossa to leave her alone, but he paid no heed to Thomas, who had tears streaming down his face now.

            "On yer KNEES! I SAID!" Barbossa roared.

            The girl, despite being petrified at the moment, slowly got off the bed and on her knees on the hard, wooden floor.

            "Tha's righ' you littl' whore," Barbossa said to her as he undid his pants. Her eyes grew into saucers as she saw the height of the manhood before her.

            Thomas was furious, yet terrified as he tried to defend her. "Please, Cap'n, Inge's just a… she's not… please… she's a virgin," Thomas said the last word breathlessly, hoping it would have some sort of effect on Barbossa.

            Obviously, it did not, because Barbossa went and closed the door, came back over, and told Thomas to shut the hell up.

            Thomas refused, but before he could get a word out, Barbossa had planted a bullet in his head.

            Meanwhile, Inge was kneeling on the floor, sobbing madly and uncontrollably.

            "Come 'ere," Barbossa coaxed, and when she hesitated, he cocked his pistol at her, threatening to shoot. Reluctantly, Inge shuffled in her dress over to where Barbossa stood. He smiled wickedly, "Now bitch, ye suck," was all he said before he shoved himself down her throat and put the gun to her head.

            After many tears, threats, and much coughing and spluttering, Barbossa let her sit on the bed. But not for long. He had taken her dignity, and now he was going to take her virginity as well. And he did… After he had finished with her he put the pistol to her head once again, and shot her. Them he walked down the stairs and shot her father, the inn's owner and barkeeper. And he walked back to his ship, locket in hand.

*Present Time*

            Yes, he thought, this would be much better than that girl, because Jack and Will would be here to watch, and they wouldn't be able to do a damned thing about it… And he wouldn't kill them… not right away at least. Barbossa threw his head back and laughed mercilessly at how much fun he would have torturing them.

A/N: Hey everybody!!! I'm incredibly sorry that it took so long! You have no idea how terrible having writer's block is… I mean it, I never thought I'd succumb to that horrible thing, but alas, I did… But luckily, last night, someone reviewed one of my other stories and told me how much they loved this one and how I had to update… Well, I thought it was very nice of you ("umm" you know who you are!!!) and I went and read through all of the reviews I've gotten, and I realized just how thankful I am to have you guys! I mean it… You are all really THE BEST!!! So, somehow, I managed to crank out another chapter, which at first I thought was crap, but I revised it, and it's better now… So yeah, I really hope you liked this chapter. I still can't get over the fact that I wrote it on Thanksgiving Day (or night, rather…)! I mean, I have no idea how I went to such a dark place in my mind to write that…. It was probably the little Agent Sands that comes to visit every now and again…. *-* But anyways, I really want your response to this chapter. I think it'd be good to know what you guys want in this story; do you know what I mean? I mean, I don't want to go writing stuff you don't want to read, savvy? So review, for you, if not for me, and the little Agent Sands that comes to visit every now and again. *-*  So yeah, I bet you all want to hear about my wonderful Halloween, don't you??? *-* Thought so… So yes, guess who I dressed up as? *Ahem* Yours truly, Captain Jack Sparrow… Yes, and I must say, it was incredibly exhilarating! I felt totally free to do whatever the hell I wanted!!! And when I went out trick-or-treating with my brother (who, by the way was a pirate too… *-*) this lady gave me the rest of her candy, AND told her family to come down and marvel at my costume… Well… I have to say, I felt very good about myself for a very long time… *-* But yes, so, I in total, got 10.3 lbs. Of candy, which I've eaten much of…trying to come up with this dang chapter… but I've not gained a pound! It's odd… but then again, I have been working out…. Hm… but you don't want to know about that… do you? Well, I think I've rattled on enough… Don't you? Time to get to replies, right? Right…

Cheers!

Tati Bloom aka Elf Girl 4

PS: I love Orlando Bloom!!!

Wow, again, I've made your week, you know, you managed to brighten up my week too… I'm so tired of crap at school….. thanks, you're helping keep me afloat… Yes, Elizabeth, I know she's annoying, I think so too, but I have to include her! It'd be unfair if I didn't… Savvy? Plus, well, it's just good to have her here… But yeah, any chapter with Will and Jack is a good one in my eyes… *-* Yes, they are mean to hold grudges against the fabulous William Turner… well, it might change, it might not… I'll think about it… *-* *nasty grin* Haha! But yes, I hope you liked this little taste of violence yet to come…. I feel kind of bad about it though… I don't know…. But then again, Barbossa is a pretty evil bastard… So thanks for reviewing again, hope this was enough to make your week, or at least make a couple minutes of your day!!!

*Potterluvva: Hey!!! Yes, the trio is goin' through some rough times…. You'll have to keep reading to find out just what happens… savvy? I'll try and update when I can, but I can't guarantee anything!!! *-*

*Mistress of Mordor: Ahhhhh, well, I must say that you've done a LOVELY job of reviewing my story. I love it every time that you do…. *Sigh* I love reading your reviews, seriously, they're just fantastic, I… yeah, they're marvelous… I was worried my suspense was starting to go soft… in fact, I wasn't even sure I had any going to begin with, thanks for telling me… *-* Yes, Elizabeth, darling Elizabeth, a calm and collected girl… Well, I think she has to be… it's in her nature…or my nature that I made for her, I just don't like those typical DID's, you know? The way they throw themselves on the ground and cry for help when they get a paper cut… So, Elizabeth is trying to stay strong and save face, at least for now… What can I say, I'm totally flattered when you tell me about my character development, I… yeah, I really hope I'm doing as well as you say, because I really hate when you can't feel with the character, you know, like they're just some cardboard cutout… That annoys me… So I'm glad I'm up to snuff on that… And yes, I've always wanted to include little bits of people's pasts within the story to sort of set up for different things, like in this chapter… Will, poor, naïve little Will… I truly feel bad for him… Oh man… I feel bad for everyone… maybe something nice'll happen next chapter… or maybe it should just get worse… hmmm… I'll have to think about it… *-* I don't know… But yeah, I'm happy that there's been a change in my writing! I really do feel more sure about myself now that I think about it, you know? I have a better understanding of what and who the characters are… As I said before, I totally feel for them, and I really treat them as a part of myself (if that doesn't sound too whacked out or corny…) but it's true… I've come to love them!!! And I hope everyone else has too…. Well, I'll try not to list things, thanks for telling me about that!!! I really was in the early stages of my writer's block when I was writing the last few paragraphs of that chapter… I was surprised I could even get it out… And this one, holy crap, was so hard, I really was stuck for the longest time, and I had no one to talk about it to…. It was horrid, I was afraid I'd totally mess up the story with some crap chapter (which I really hope this one isn't, because if it is…well… I don't know what I'll do…) So yeah, I'm sorry it took so long, I got all 3 of your reviews, lovely, each and every one of them (even though I already said that… *-*) And now, I'll talk about your 2nd one!! Ahhh… you know, we should make that a Halloween tradition: watch POTC!!! I mean, it's coming out in 4 days (tee hee… I've been counting down for months…). So, yes, I hate when that happens, that happened to me when I went to see it the time before I last saw it (which by the way was this Saturday that I saw it… for the 15th time…. No joke… I've seriously seen it 15 times… I really have to stop that… I'm breaking my bank doing that….) So yeah, these like 6 girls were screaming vulgar things at Orlando and Johnny!!! I was totally furious!!! I went down to where they were and told them to "Shut up, unless you want me to throw up on you! I bet you don't even know anything about them…" And that shut them up… cuz obviously, they didn't know shit about either Orli or Johnny… Those stupid bitches… I hate that…. So yeah, your costume rental experience sounds awfully fun!!! I made mine, I had been getting stuff for it since August…. And it paid off, since I got some family's whole stash of candy… I can't believe how much they marveled and gaped…. Holy whack… It was insane, but a good kind of insane, like Agent Sands… *-* (You know who he is, don't you? *-*) Well, Henri, Um… he was a French painter, famous for being like 4 foot 11, and hangin' out at the Moulin Rouge drinking absinthe and having the pleasurable company of loose women… Does that ring a bell? How about this… Have you seen Moulin Rouge! – with Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman? John Leguizamo plays Henri Toulouse-Lautrec in it… He's really fantastic at it… Well, I ought to go post this chapter… I hope you liked it, please review soon!!! I'll be waiting!!!

And don't apologize for reviewing/ chatting, I love it, and… in the words of the ever so wise Johnny Depp… I really don't give a shit about what anybody thinks about it… So chat away luv… Lamarie! (And yup, I'm pretty sure that's how it's spelled, I've just checked, so yeah… *-*)

PLEASE REVIEW!!! I REALLY LOVE THEM ALL, YOU'VE ALL GOTTEN ME THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME, AND I THANK YOU ALL!!! PLEASE JUST TAKE A COUPLE MINUTES TO REVIEW, SAVVY? *-*
