Chapter 37
"Ten years you carry that pistol, and now you waste your shot," Barbossa scoffed as he turned from looking at Katrina to Jack holding a smoking pistol.
"He didn't waste it," Will announced from atop the mound of gold as he dropped both the coin with Jack's blood and the coin with his blood into the stone chest.
"I feel... cold," Barbossa said before falling dead at the foot of the mound of gold.
----------
On board the Dauntless, many of Barbossa's crew dropped dead, others in confusion, found themselves in flesh although they were under the light of the moon. Realizing that the curse had been lifted, Barbossa's men surrendered.
"Parley?" Pintel asked aloud hopefully.
"The ship is ours, gentlemen," Norrington announced.
"Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!" all of Norrington's men cheered.
----------
"Oh, Jack!" Katrina exclaimed as she ran into his opened arms.
"Are you alright, me love?" Jack asked, but didn't let her answer as he took her in a deep kiss.
Will simply rolled his eyes, while Elizabeth stared at the two, finding it hard to believe what she was seeing.
"Come with me, Katrina," Jack said when they finally broke the kiss, "There's something I've been wantin' to give ye for a long time now."
With that, he took her by the hand and lead her to a mound of gold and jewels nearby.
----------
As they continued to wait for Jack and Katrina, Elizabeth approached Will, "We should return to the Dauntless."
Will, looking into her eyes, was about to say something, but hesitated and said something else instead, "Your fiancé will be wanting to know you're safe."
Hearing this, Elizabeth's eyes quickly filled up with tears before she stormed away towards the rowboat.
"If you were waiting for the opportune moment," Jack said as he and Katrina swaggered toward him wearing gold crowns, "that was it. Now, if you'll be so kind, I'd be much obliged if you'd drop us off my ship."
----------
"I'm sorry, Jack," Katrina said as she leaned on him in the rowboat with Will and Elizabeth, having just finished explaining to him that the Pearl had left.
"They done what's right by them," Jack sighed as he wrapped an arm around Katrina's waist pulling her closer to him, "Can't expect more than that."
Will and Elizabeth exchanged looks as they heard what Jack said.
