Audrey traveled as far away from the bridge as possible, beginning to wipe away new tears. Will, still standing next to Kate, noticed her and grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"Audrey, what happened?" he asked.

"Nothing, please, let me go." She said, pathetically wrenching away from his grasp. Will looked her over, then, his eyes widened.

"What did Jack do?" he asked.

"He didn't do anything, please let go." She said meekly.

"I'm not going to let go until you tell me what he did." He said.

"Why do you assume he did something to me?"

"Because Jack can make a lady, like you, cry and not feel guilty about it." He said.

"Please don't call me that." She said.

"Call you what?" he asked.

"A lady. I'm not a lady and I'll never be one. I'm going to keep my end of the bargain we made and leave you alone now." She said, and broke free from Wills grasp, running away.

"Audrey, dont leave!" he called. She ignored him and continued. Will sighed as he stared at her retreating back.

"Can you go up there and ask what he did to her? Will asked Kate, turning to her.

On Izbon, Quintos' pirates had torches since it was dark out. Colonel sat in a row boat with two other pirates and Captain Quintos.

Clouds started to cover the moon as they reached the Island, Izbon.

One of the pirates beside the Colonel turned to Quintos.

"Captain, may I ask where we're going?" he said, his voice extremely slow.

The captain rolled his eyes.

"Izbon, where the sete de muertas god is. Thats where we give the blood that we have already" he said looking over at Richard Farrel, who was looking extremely paranoid, in the other boat.

The pirate nodded slowly.

"But how exactly do we give blood to a god? Doesn't the god have blood of his own?" he asked.

If we don't find the blood of the seven, then we will not come back to true form"

The pirate nodded again. Then, he looked up, dark eyes flashing with excitement.

"Have you seen the god, Captain? What does he look like?" he asked.

The captain pulled out his pistol and shot the pirate.

" That's for asking stupid questions"

The pirate pushed his jaw, with a crack, back in place from where the bullet nearly ripped it off.

"Ow, that really hurt, you know. I don't think anything with taste the same now." he said.

They reached the island and followed each other to a large Grotto. The pirates followed one another to a huge cove, with an opening on the side.

Captain and the colonel led the group while a few pirates pushed Richard forward. He had his hands tied so he couldn't do anything.

When they walked threw a hole in the side of the cove, there was a wooden dock with boats tied up to it. Inside the cove was all dark and dingy. Torches were hanging on the side of the wall.

The walls of the cave were made of gold. And it appeared that ahead of the cave, was a pitch black dark opening.

Richard was not surprised that the pirates pushed him into the boat and they started to row into that pitch black cave ahead. On the side of them, there were rocks. Skulls and bones were lying all over the place.

A pirate held his torch up in the air, to make light.

There was a water fall that they all went down, and the water started to rush faster.

Along the walls, there was blood smeared against it. Howls of things unknown echoed through the darkness, vibrating off of the blood smeared walls. Captain Quintos seemed not bothered by the disturbing cries, whereas his crew were just a bit uneasy. The flow of water seemed to slow and but the sounds seemed to stay the same pitch. They slowly floated into a larger part of the cove. The walls were indeed decorated with gold, some of it splattered with crimson. Richard looked down into the water, choking at what he saw. The water beneath them all was tainted with blood. Fish seem to be swimming through it carelessly. The boats came upon land soon enough and they got out. The two pirates that held Richard captive grabbed him and pushed him out of the boat.

Captain Quintos lead them all to the large piece of land and they walked along a place that was covered with treasure. Guarding the treasure was a very large 50 foot statue that resembled somewhat of a witch doctor. The two pirates pushed Richard forward toward the front of the line. It turned out that the screeching noises that Richard heard were bats that came swooping around the cave.

The pirates hooted as Colonel grabbed Richard.

"You know that once I kill you, I won't have to kill you later when your daughter and I are married, therefore you can't tell anyone that I'm a pirate" Colonel said as he grabbed Richard by the hair and pulled him closer.

Colonel pushed him down on the ground and Quintos grabbed a small trinket that looked like a thin stone from a Grotto.

" Any last words??" Quintos asked.

" Parler?????" Richard said.

The Colonel chuckled softly.

"I'm afraid it's too late for that, Richard." he said. The pirates watching eagerly laughed.

He pulled his head back, exposing his throat and placed a razor-sharp knife against it.

"Don't worry. I promise I'll take good care of your daughter." he hissed in his ear. With a quick movement and half of a protest, the knife sliced easily through the skin, letting blood splash onto the stone. It glowed a deep crimson which reflected off of Richard's skin, The pirates watched, fascinated as Richard went deathly pale and then, fell. It was completely silent in the cove, except for a few screeches. Captain Quintos picked up Richard's hand and sliced a deep cut; not a single drop of blood leaked. The pirates began cheering madly.

Captain Quintos took the vile and placed it into the statue. the witch doctor soon started to turn color like a human. but it seemed that the process was not complete.

"Gents! We must find the blood of a Bargainer and blood of the melancholy next!"

All the pirates cheered in agreement and they all headed back into the boats.

Just as they were leaving, Colonel looked down at his father in law to be's lifeless body. He kicked it into the bloody water, and then got into a boat himself, as they rowed out of the golden cave.

Kate stood at the bottom of the bridge, she sighed knowing she was going up to talk to Jack. She picked at her fingernails as she walked up the steps and stood in front of Jack while he hummed his song, and pretended he didn't notice her.

"Mr. Spar--Jack" Kate said.

"Aye" he said looking at her.

"did you know that Audrey was crying?" she asked him.

Jack looked surprised.

"Really? I had no idea" he said sarcastically.

"Jack, don't lie to me" she said

"Lass, Im a dishonest man, and I told you I was a dishonest man. You can always trust a dishonest man to be an honest man" Jack said.

Kate looked like she wasn't quite getting it.

"Right...." she said pretending she understood

they were in awkward silence. And Jack pretended she walked away but she didn't.

"Do you love her?" Kate asked.

"WHAT???" jack yelled so loud that it echoed off the bridge and bounced back onto the ship.

"Anamaria, I meant Anamaria. I see you staring at her all the time" Kate said.

"Why does it matter to you what I look at?" Jack said then he grabbed his compass and took a look at it, then put it away.

Just then, someone yelled down below, The Black Pearl! She's on our trail!"

Jack looked ahead and saw the Black pearl heading straight for them. He flipped the helm around so fast that the ship almost flipped over.

Will felt the sharp turn, nearly falling.

"What the--" he cut himself off and quickly ran up to the bridge, knowing that it couldn't possibly be Jack and Audrey again.

Kate watched as the pearl got closer to them.

"It's getting closer!"

"This would have been a lot better if it were the Black pearl itself!" Jack said trying to steer the ship away from the Black Pearl.

"I think you forgot to tell me who stole your ship this time, Jack." Will said, staring at the offending ship.

"Uh... Captain Quintos, this time. He's after one of us. He wants our blood for some scheme so they can become alive again" Jack said.

"And who exactly is he after??" Will asked.

Jack glanced around nervously.

"uh... when they catch this person, it will be a good thing...." Jack said.

Kate gave him a look that meant him to stop saying useless things.

"Alright! I don't know who they are after at the moment. But we can't let them get us... No no no..." Jack said.

The black pearl was right behind them now.

Jack saw the look on Kate's face change from nervous, to frightened.

"What? Whats wrong??" Jack asked anxiously

"They're loading their cannons." Kate said.

"Oh no!! Im gonna have to fire at me own ship!" Jack cried out.

"Just one quick question before we begin to fight." Will said.

"Where are the cannons?"

Jack's eyes lit up. he yelled out, " Load up the cannons!" but the crew didn't do anything.

"I said, Load up the cannons!!!" he yelled again.

"we don't know where they are" said a crew member.

Jack rolled his eyes then went below decks to search for them.

"Anamaria!! Take the helm while I go look for them"

Jack said as he ran down the bridge.

"Aye!" she said as he ran up the bridge passing him and grabbing a hold of it.

Jack ran down below decks and looked around for the cannon. None... so he ran further down the decks to find them... still couldn't find them.

"Oh Bloody hell!" he said as he ran back up to find Audrey.

Audrey, sitting in the captain's quarters with the doors locked tightly, heard an urgent knock. The windows were extremely blurred for privacy so she couldn't tell who it was, nor did she care at this point.

"Who are you and what do you want?" she called.

Audrey heard a familiar voice which sounded like Jack,

"I would just like to know where your Cannons are hidden, secretly away from me" Jack said.

Audrey scowled.

"They are hidden away from everyone. And I'm defiantly not showing where they are to the likes of you. Now leave immediately before I have you thrown overboard." she said.

Jack tried to knock the door over with no success.

"Your funeral" he said.

"Well, If I'm going to die, then I guess I'm going to take *you* down with me." she said with a playful smile.

Jack muttered under his breath and then yelled.

"Please tell me!! Your ship is gonna sink, if we don't get these cannons soon..." just then a cannon flew right past Jack's ear and hit the door. jack stood there in shock, he was nearly blown to bits.

"We're under attack!!" Yelled Gibbs.

Audrey quickly turned the handle of her door and walked out, pushing Jack aside, roughly.

"Bloody hell, you're ruining my ship." she muttered. Audrey quickly walked up to the bridge, the ship shaking as it was hit constantly. She walked towards the helm and stopped in front of it. She pressed hard against the golden middle piece which went in and did the exact same with the opposite side of the helm. The ship suddenly began making strange noises.

"There, now go back down there and look, the walls should have raised and the cannons should be there. Now why didn't you listen to me when I told you that my ship was far too advanced for you?" she asked.

Jack looked surprised. He then ran to the side of the ship to find the walls opening and the cannons coming out.

"Alright, all hands toward the Cannons!" Jack said before seeing an annoyed look on Audrey's face.

"Apologies, You do the commands, Captain" he said.

Audrey arched an eyebrow, wondering what had come over him. She looked up at the crew members who were watching her with anticipation.

"Alright, you heard him, now, go!" she yelled. The crew ran off deck to the cannons.

"Oh, and Jack, just because you're starting to let me handle things the way a real captain should, for whatever reason, doesn't mean I'm going to forgive you for what you said." she replied.

Jack crossed his arms and scowled.

"What are we going to do?" Will asked.

"We let the crew handle the cannons, but we must keep certain that they don't come aboard." Audrey said, as her ships cannons began hitting the sides of the Black Pearl. Audrey ignored the wince Jack made as they heard the crack of wood from the opposing ship.

Why does it have to be me ship!!" Jack muffled threw his hands, which were covering his face.

Kate ran below decks to see if they had enough cannons.

She heard a yell from above.

" What was that??" She asked as she ran back up. Soon enough, Ropes were flying in all directions and planks stretched out from the Black Pearl. Quinto's Pirates came swinging in from the Black pearl and began to draw out their swords.

Jack and Will reacted quickly and drew out their swords.

Three pirates spotted Kate and she ran up from the decks and ran away from them. She ran to a cabin, and locked the doors. Kate looked around for something to use to fight them back. Instead she found an umbrella holder with long swords. She grabbed one and prepared for the doors to open any second.

Audrey stealthily ran to the side of her ship and, with all her strength, she pulled the lever which drops the anchor. She soon as she got it unstuck, it pulled easier and the anchor fell.

"Well, hello there, miss." came a scratchy voice from behind her. Audrey slowly turned. She gave a short gasp as she came face to face with a pirate with unruly black hair and half of his teeth missing. He held up his sword to show he was armed.

"You best be coming along quietly." he said. Audrey gave a short whimper and kicked the pirate in the shins, causing him to grab his knee in pain. She ran off.

"So, got any plans?" Will asked Jack as a few of Quintos' pirates began circling them.

Uh... back to back, we are going to fight back to back" Jack said as they both had their backs lined together and turned in circles as they fought the pirates circling them. Soon they actually managed to push them back so they could fight normally. Jack's crew charged up from the decks like ants out of an ant hill. They had their swords drawn and fought some of the pirates back.

Mean while Kate stood shaking... this was her opportune moment to fight.

The door burst open and then they came in.

Kate screamed.

" We ain't gonna hurt you Poppet" said one pirate.

Kate swung her sword out, and they began to sword fight. She backed up and grabbed another from the can.

The pirates ganged up on her as she sword fought them.

Audrey back up against the side of the ship as two pirates cornered her like a mouse.

"Don't worry, we won't hurt you...yet." one said, the two began snickering.

"You've picked the wrong pirate to pick on, mates." she said. Audrey picked up a large steel pipe.

"Put it down, yeh can't even hold that thing, it's too heavy for yeh." the other said, grinning. Audrey swung the pipe, knocking the pirate's head from his shoulders.



Will didn't have time to try to hit the pirates; he only focused on blocking their swords. There were too many.

"Theres too many of them, I can't hold them back much longer!" Will cried, "please tell me you're making up a plan."

Jack flipped his hand near his head

"I'm working on it!!!" he said.

He then whistled and some of the crew ran over to help them out, by reducing some of the pirates.

"That better?" he asked.

Back where Kate was, a sword flipped Kate's sword from her hands. She screamed and ran threw another door and locked it. Little did she know, another pirate was there with her. Kate could only hear her loud breathes until someone put their dirty hand over her mouth. As she tried to scream, another pirate tied her hands in front of her. The other one with their hand over her mouth held a pistol to her temple.

"So it's Katherine eh??"

Kate tried to squirm from their grasp.

"We are going to take me hand away from your mouth now, and you aren't gonna scream" said the pirate, " or else-

he went and shot another pirate who was there in the dark room as well.

"Comon!" he said as he pushed her forward and threw the doors where they ran out on Deck.

Jack was fighting the pirates when he turned and saw Kate being taken away. Jack ran forward until someone blocked him and began to fight him.



The headless pirate walked around the deck, searching for his yelling head, every time he'd get close to it, he'd kick it, sending it further away, the head yelling out curses.

The other pirate grimaced as he watched his pathetic friend walk around. He turned back to Audrey who was watching the headless pirate with some confusion. The other pushed her up against a nearby wall, causing Audrey to drop the pipe with shock.

"Now you can't escape me." he said. The pirate chuckled softly.

"My, my, aren't you a pretty one?" he asked softly. He ran his tongue along her neck earning a frightened mewl.

"We're going to have a little fun, aren't we, my little whore?" he said. She struggled against him, finding it useless.

"Let's go." he said grinning, leading her away and putting a hand over her mouth.
