Chapter Three: The Downfall of Queen X

Will and Jack stumbled as their captors roughly pushed them through the narrow passages of the cave.  They rounded a bend and came to a small encampment.  Bound and gagged on the far end was the future Mrs. Turner.

"Elizabeth!" cried Will, as he struggled to free himself and run to his beloved's side.

"Mphf!" replied the blonde.

The young man broke free from his captors and rushed forward.  He almost reached Elizabeth when his way was blocked by a young woman.  The bespectacled blonde shoved him backwards into Jack.

"I think not," snarled Sister M.  "Our lady would not approve of her darling associating with such a harlot."

"Mphf," growled Elizabeth, glaring at the other girl.

"I am not your lady's darling," replied Will gallantly, standing up straighter.

Sister M smirked.  "We'll see about that.  Sister K, summon our queen."

A petite brunette bowed and then scurried off.  Will and Jack exchanged a nervous glance.  They had both been busy trying to free themselves from the ropes that bound their wrists; unfortunately, Sister U, who had tied the knots, had been a Girl Scout.  There would be no escape for our heroes.

Moments later, Sister K returned, followed by a regal young girl.  The other sisters bowed reverently as Queen X strode into the main chamber.  She stopped several paces in front of the men. 

"Bring the captives forward," declared the queen of all fangirls, waving her hand dramatically. Two of the sisters ushered the reluctant men forward.  The Queen frowned at one of the girls.  "Sister P, please stop patting the captives' rears," she stated in a slightly exasperated tone.

The guilty sister blushed and stepped away.  "Sorry, m'lady."

"Ahem…now, where was I?  Oh, yes.  William, darling," she stated, reaching up and caressing his cheek.

The young man shuddered and pulled away.  "I am not your darling," he spat viciously.

Queen X blinked in surprise, taken aback by his reaction.  Then a slow, evil grin spread against her strawberry-glossed lips.  "Oh, you will be."

"No.  I will never love you," replied Will.  "My heart belongs to Elizabeth and no other.  Not even hell could tear us apart."

"Well said!" exclaimed Jack.  He then turned to Queen X.  "Now you see this is all very futile so you might as well let us be on our way…"

The pirate captain was cut off by a withering glare from the young girl.  He bobbed his head in apology and stepped back.  Will could handle it from here.

"But you don't understand, dear William," stated Queen X.  She reached into her jacket and pulled out a small vial.  "With this you must love me!"

She held out the bottle triumphantly.  Will and Jack squinted as they attempted to read the label.  It read Love Potion No. 9: Fangirl Brand Aphrodisiac. 

"Isn't that cheating?" piped up Jack as he glanced inquisitively at the queen.

"Hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do," she replied with a shrug.

She popped the cap off of the bottle and advanced on Will.  He back-peddled in a desperate attempt to put distance between him and the maniacal teenager.  Two of the sisters grabbed his arms to hold him still.  Queen X pried his lips open and poured the contents of the bottle into his mouth.  She then pinched his nose to force him to swallow.

The foul liquid burned as it went down his throat.  Will choked and sputtered, trying to force it back up.  But it was too late. 

"Soon, William Turner…you will be mine."

One hour later….

Jack watched with mild interest as his friend struggled to fight off the poisonous concoction that Queen X had forced him to drink.  Will had his eyes tightly shut; a cold sweat poured down his face and he seemed to be in terrible pain. 

"Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day.  Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day," repeated the young man over and over.  He wasn't sure who Ms. Thatcher was, but the mantra seemed to be working. 

Finally, Will let out a primal scream and collapsed to his knees.  Jack stared at him, horrified; he was sure that the blonde had finally succumbed to the aphrodisiac.  The blonde slowly raised his head and grinned triumphantly up at Queen X.

"I will never love you," he proclaimed vehemently. 

Queen X stared incredulously at Will.  Jack let out a whoop of joy.

"Now that's the power of true love!" exclaimed the pirate captain.

"That…that's impossible," stammered Queen X, staggering away from the two men.  "My plan was perfect!"

"Not quite perfect," commented a snide voice from behind her.

The fangirl queen swirled to find herself face-to-face with an untied Elizabeth Swann.  For the past hour while everyone was enthralled with Will's struggle with his inner demons, the young woman had worked on her bonds.  Recently freed, she was ready for revenge.

The scene that followed is too gruesome to put into writing.  It can be summed up as follows:  Will shuddered.  The fangirls swooned.  Jack got sick.  Queen X felt a lot of pain.

With the Queen of All Fangirls defeated, the sisters scattered.  Will and Jack were left alone in a dark, creepy cave with a very scary-looking Elizabeth.  The young lady politely wiped the blood from her hands with a hanky and then turned to the two men.  They both shrank back in fear.

"William!" she cried, throwing her arms around her husband-to-be.

"Elizabeth!" he replied, his eagerness a little forced.  It wasn't every day you saw the love of your life rip another girl apart with her hands.

Jack watched the happily reunited couple with a smile upon his face.  He threw his arms around their shoulders and laughed heartily.  "Let's go home."

You are cordially invited to the wedding of Miss Elizabeth Swann and Mister William Turner to take place in the epilogue of Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Fangirls.  The happy couple is registered at Target, Belk, and JC Penny.  A love offering for pirates who wear dark eye make-up will be taken.
