Thank you all (and you all know who you are!) for reposing to my author's note - Yes I had no clue about what I should do but it seems like most of you would like me to carry on this fic into AWE :D Aren't we all happy! *hands out the party hat and balloons*
Now one thing I would like to point out with this chapter is about the Flying Dutchman you know, the bit where it suddenly reappears out of the sea next to the Black Pearl? Well forget that in this one.. For good reasons! :D
This is the 2nd to last of DMC L So sad *sniffs* I hope you like it and I hope you are looking forward to it 'morphs' into AWE :D.
Onwards to Camelot!
Someone in the background: It's only a model! Ssssssh!
Chapter 21: Chances, Trades, and Forgiving.
"I can't believe I'm doing this! I really don't like running!"
Jenna yelled as she ran backwards trying her best not to fall over, her sword was blocking moves made by the fish git people in front of her.
"Stop complaining!" She turned and saw Fish Lips attacking with her sword next to her.
"Where is Flik when I need her!" Jenna moaned some more huffing, then suddenly she tripped over a branch falling backwards onto the golden sand, they had reached the beach at last! She thought.
She turned on her knees and saw Jack run over to the row boat now in shallow water, she squinted her eyes to see what he was up too then she realized he was putting the heart of Davy Jones in the jar of dirt!
"Right.." she muttered and rose up from her knees, then started to run once again as the fish gits were chasing her, Fish Lips, Pintel and Ragetti holding the chest in their hands.
She turned back around to face them but they had stopped, looking to the side of them
"What…" She muttered and also turned her head that direction - the mill wheel had come out of the forest at last and was wheeling along the beach towards the sea before falling over.
"They must be dizzy in there..well of course they are! DUH!…" She said loudly, but her sentence was cut short from an ball and chain heading in her path flying over her head!
"Watch it there buddy!" Jenna ducked down and ran away from them going towards the wheel to find Norry, she saw him come out of the wheel his sword in the air pointing in in the direction of the fight happening.
"James!" Jenna exclaimed running into him, he had completely ignored her and his focus was on Jack running away from the row boat…
"Come on.." She dragged him over to the boat, throwing her sword in it and started going through Jack's coat.
"Jenna what are you doing…?" Norry asked the girl as she handed him the letters of marque.
"The letters, you are going to need them.." She stuttered out of breath.
"But…"
"No buts, you need them right? And also the heart…it's in the jar.." Jenna admitted to him and pointed towards the half empty jar of dirt next to his hand.
He looked at her with a frown confused, he quickly opened the jar and reached in..
Jenna gasped lightly as she saw the heart..
"Oh my…" She muttered.. It was an human heart with the veins and everything, beating in his hand.
"Quickly, in your shirt…" She grabbed the heart and stuffed it down his shirt along with the letters, he nodded to her with a smile, she smiled back and grabbed her sword.
They both turned in unison to face the rest of the fish gits behind them where Jack, Will and Fish Lips were fighting them off, Pintel and Ragetti pushed pasted Jenna and threw the chest with the key inside the lock into the long boat ready to cast off into the sea.
"Will!" Jenna yelled, blocking another sword whilst she was fighting off about 2 fish people and nodded over to the boat.
Will ran over through the shallow water and stopped the boat pointing his sword at the men.
"COME ON TURNER!" Pintel grabbed a random fishing net from the boat ready to fight back at him, but Will's eyes drifted down towards the chest sitting there..
"What…" he muttered and made his way over, clutching it in both hands staring down at the key in it's lock and then up.
"Holy unicorns in socks! JACK!" Jenna huffed out once again, kicking and slapping another git and pointed with one hand to Will.
"Why do I have to alert everyone?" She muttered and managed to get away towards the boat where everyone was heading, she got there just in time to see Jack hit Will over the head with an oar!
"Good shot…!"
Jack smiled, looking around to the others frowning..
"Where's Flik…?"
"I thought she was with you!" Jenna replied just realizing where she was.. She couldn't see her anywhere on the beach, she started to worry..
"FLIK!" She screamed hoping the girl would answer her back but there was nothing..
"Oh my god! Will!" Elizabeth raced over and held the unconscious Will who was in the boat.
"Leave him lie, unless you're going to use him to hit things!"
Jenna giggled gently as she stood next to Norry and Pintel.
"We're not getting out of this…" Elizabeth said, we were now surrounded by the fish git people, all of them sneering at us and ready…
"Not with the chest…" Norry replied and quickly grabbed the chest.
Jenna watched him trying to push Fish Lips into the boat..
"Into the boat… Jenna.. Now!" Norry called over to the girl, she stood firmly into the shallow water and refused to.
"I'm not going with them…"
"Yes you are!"
"No I'm not! I'm taking my chance!"
"Look.. Jenna..."
"James Norrington! You wig wearing, sex bomb commodore! I'm coming with you because…." Jenna stared at his face as he stood opposite her..
"I love you."
"Aww…" Ragetti and Pintel cooed in unison together as they watched the couple.
"WHAT?" Fish Lips, Will and Jack all said together in unison, looking puzzled.
"Jenna…"
"Please James.. I'm coming with you if you like it or not…" Jenna stated and came over to Fish Lips hugging her fast.
"You two are mad!" She replied letting go of the girl, staring at Norry.
"If you see Flik.. Tell her, I love her and I will see her very soon.. She will understand." Jenna told her, and then ran back over to Norry - they both ran together away from the long boat over the sand and the fish gits followed in pursuit.
"I say let's expect their final wishes…" Jack nodded to the rest of them.
"AYE!" They all replied together.
"Come on Jenna!" Norrington grabbed Jenna's hand hard and ran with her through the overgrowth of the jungle.
"Yes I'm coming alright!" Jenna managed to say, breathing heavily.
"Were you serious…?"
"Sorry…?"
"About what you said..that you love me…"
"James, this isn't the right time to talk about it - I'm legging it through the jungle getting chased by the fish whatever they are called!"
"Good point!" James replied and then suddenly fell over causing Jenna to fall with him onto his back, the chest rolled forward and was stopped by a slimy foot on it.
Jenna's eyes widen, looking up from the foot and up it's leg to an un human body… with no head!
"He's got no head!" Jenna gasped right into James's ear, she pushed herself off grabbing the chest holding it tight against her chest, Norry rose to his feet.. Putting an protective arm around Jenna's waist pointing the sword towards the headless guy.. She looked down to see his head in it's arms..
"Wow.. Head in a shell…"
"Your bravery is wasted.." the head/shell said to them, Jenna and Norry eyed each other wondering what they should do.
"I shall pry the chest away from your dead cold hands…"
"Well… what if rigor mortis sets in?"
"What…?"
"You know… rigor mortis… umm…" Jenna began stuttering and backing up, before she knew it James had taken the chest from her arms and threw it into the arms making the fish git drop his shell head.
"Here you go.. Let's go!" James said in a hurry and grabbed Jenna's hand running with her away from them, she heard them cackling in the background as they distant themselves from there.
Meanwhile…
"Mhmmh" Flik mumbled whilst still asleep, she was having a lovely dream, She smiled and rolled on to her side but landed on the wet floor with a bang!
"Ouch…what…" Flik muttered, opening her eyes looking up to the ceiling to see it all covered with starfish and seaweed, she closed them quickly as a drip of salty water hit her face causing her to sit up straight and rubbing off the water.
"Uh..oh.." she whispered and looked around to where the hell she was, it was another brig but not the black pearls.. It was different because everything she could see was covered in barnacles, mussels, seaweed, starfish and anything that lived on the ocean floor.
"You're awake then? Have a nice nap?" Her head titled to the right to see the fish git with the hammer shark head laughing at her and unlocking the door, swinging it open before walking inside.
"Let me guess.. I'm on the bloody Flying Dutchman…" Flik said as she was yanked up to her feet nearly slipping over on the soaked floor below her.
"Yes and the Cap'n would like a word" He grinned, pushing her forward from the brig and continued to push her all the way up to the outer deck.
"Wow, you need to redecorate…"
The whole deck was covered as well from the mast all the way up to the sails with sea life creatures, Flik kept looking around her as the other members of the crew where staring at her, nudging each other and heckling her.
"Cap'n.. she's awake.." Hammerhead yelled from behind her and pushed her onto the deck causing her to fall body first.
"Would you stop pushing?" She tutted and gulped as her eyes stared at the peg leg in front of them, she slowly looked up to see tentacle features staring down at her with a smile on his face.
"The annoying little one…" Davy Jones smirked, grabbing her arm and pulling her back up to his level.
"Do yer fear death now?" He asked her looking right into her face, her head backed away from his sudden invasion but she shook her head.
"Let me think about that...NO I'M NOT! So, you sent your fish git's to kidnap me..? Why?" Flik raised her eyebrow.
"Well, if Sparrow has found the chest which is doubtful.. But! If he has.. I have something of his to…trade…"
"So you're going to trade me.. Oh that's great, well sorry to burst you're bubble tentacles but me and Sparrow ain't on talking terms right now…" Flik crossed her arms and smiled.
"Again, I highly doubt that m'dear… his 'heart' would get in his way of his head.. He will trade.." Davy Jones pushed pasted her and made his way up to the wheel.
"You are making a big mistake!"
"I'm not, I AM THE SEA!" Davy Jones yelled and turned around nodding towards another fish git, the git came pasted him with iron shackles in his hands staring at Flik.
"Oh you.. OI! GET OFF!" Flik struggled as Hammer held her arms in front of her as another fish git clicked the iron shackles around her wrists tightly.
"SIR!" Hammerhead cried, making Flik to screw her face up, backing away then hitting the mast with her back.. I'm in trouble she thought to herself, then she noticed the ship was moving twice as fast..
"AYE THE BLACK PEARL!" She heard someone else yell and point towards the front of the ship, she managed to walk herself over to the railings and lean over to see the Black Pearl floating in the water… she squinted and she could make out Pintel and Ragetti hoisting up the boats, Gibbs yelling at the other men, Will and Fish Lips standing together and Jack…
"Jack.." she whispered to herself and half smiled, her eyes darted away from his and searched the ship again as the Flying Dutchman came besides it almost…
"Where's Jenna.. And Norry.. Oh god she went with him didn't she…" Flik tutted realizing the film plot, Norry grabbing the chest on the island and running away to cause a distraction.. Jenna must of gone with him which makes sense for her friend.
The Flying Dutchman hauled opposite the Black Pearl, she saw all the men on the black pearl terrified and looking towards each other.
Suddenly out of the blue, hammerhead pulled her back from the railing holding her arms from behind.
"LET ME THE FUCK GO!" She yelled, struggling again in his grip, she watched Davy Jones pass her and go towards the side, the other members of the crew standing on the side yelling with their swords towards the members of the Pearl trying to intimidated them.
"OI FISH FACE! TENTACLES!"
Flik looked up when she heard the familiar voice, she smiled wide and tried not to laugh.
On the Black Pearl Jack was holding up the jar of dirt towards Davy Jones smirking.
"Lose something? Eh? Scungilli?" he continued to call over, Flik continued to struggle and managed to free herself, running over to the deck just in time to see Jack fall down the steps of the pearl.
"Oh…" she winched as she saw and heard the crash right at the end, and then saw the jar of dirt appearing out of nowhere in his hands.
"GOT IT!"
Flik then looked over to Will and Fish Lips staring at Jack hoping that they would look this way and spot her but they didn't, again Hammerhead pulled her back into his grip from the edge holding more tightly.
"OH FUCK OFF ALREADY!" Flik yelled at the top of her lungs, kicking his leg as well.
"Come to negotiate, eh you slimy git?" She heard Jack continue his rant.
"Lookie what I have…. I've got a jar of dirt.. I've got a jar of dirt.. AND GUESS WHAT'S INSIDE IT?" Flik couldn't help but burst out laughing at the jar of dirt sing song he did.
"That's it.." Flik shook her head and kicked the hammerhead hard, breaking free for the 2nd time and running over to the deck.
"JACK! CAPTAIN JACK BLOODY SPARROW!" She screamed over to him, he turned holding the jar above his head to the young girl screaming his name from the Flying Dutchman.
"Flik…" He whispered, lowering the dirt jar staring in disbelief… she smiled a little and looked around quickly before any other crew member could grab her once again.
She saw some rope near her and swiftly grabbed it with both hands, pushing her feet off the side of the side..
"Au Reviour FISH GITS!" She cried swinging through the air on the rope and then letting go falling right into the path of Will.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaah" Flik yelled and landed in a bundle ontop of Legolas who pushed her off him.
"That hurt!"
"Oh come on Legolas, you broke my fall!" Flik smiled, brushing herself off before getting up and going over to Jack.
"Did you miss me?"
Jack smirked down at her pulling her into him with one hand and placing his lips on her's, kissing her hard and full of delight.. She wrapped her arms around his neck bringing him closer to her as they kissed, she nibbled his bottom lip gently as she heard him moan lightly as her hands stroked the back of his neck, she shivered against Jack as he returned the favour by licking her bottom lip wanting entrance..
"AHEM!"
Both stopped, looking over to Gibbs crossing his arms and nodding in the direction of Davy Jones's boat still there, Flik laughed a little and stared at Jack.
"Felicity Jane…" he whispered and placing one final kiss on those lips of hers..
"I'm sorry.." He told her, she smiled wide and hugged him hard - he had finally spoke to me she thought.
"Does this mean you're talking to me now?" Flik whispered in his ear and softly kissing it, he laughed and held her for a long time before resting his forehead against hers.
"It will never happen again.. Darlin'"
Their embrace was cut short as Jack let her go from the hug holding her turning his attention back to Davy Jones.
"I think he's pissed…"
"ENOUGH!" Flik heard tentacles yell and walk away from the railings, she then heard the sound of falling water, she frowned looking down to see the water falling from the side of the ship and movement.
She poked Jack on his ribs and pointed at the side, the faces that were carved into the ship where going up fast, water splashing everywhere…
"Oh…knickers…"
Flik's eyes widen at the sight of the cannons being revealed before them, she looked around at everyone stepping back and grabbing one another.
"Hard to starboard…" Jack whispered.
"HARD TO STARBOARD!"
Ooooh, They finally made up! About time too! And Jenna's off with Norry of course!
I hope you all like this chapter, I know bits are a bit short and so forth!
