Chapter 2
Disclaimer: Why do I even have to do this? If I owned PotC, which I don't, I would be making millions and going to see movies with Jack and Will instead of writing this fan fiction.
The Black Pearl sailed closer and closer, bringing fear to the crew of The South Sea Sunset. Captain Colleen Valiquette couldn't douse the feeling of hopelessness as she tried to calm her crew and sail faster. If only they could get to port, they would be okay. But Port Royal and Colleen's father were at least 15 leagues away, and Colleen's ship, however sturdy, was no racing ship. It was no use. The Black Pearl was advancing on them, and fast. They would be attacking within 10 minutes. Colleen shouted to her crew, "Alright listen up! The fight to the death be a comin'! Everyone, grab a sword or cutlass! We can't let 'em have the ship, nor our lives. I want every last crewmate to be prepared for the worst. Now, get yer weapons!"
Almost as soon as everyone was armed, The Black Pearl approached The South Sea Sunset. Captain Valiquette drew her sword and shouted to the pirates, "Come and fight me, ye scurvy dogs, if ye dare! I'll not have the likes of ye taking over me ship!" When she finished her threat, the captain of The Black Pearl jumped over onto the deck of The South Sea Sunset. He too drew his sword and said, "I believe the nautical term is 'commandeering', love. And no person, man or woman, pirate or landlubber, has ever won against me in a sword match. I suggest ye surrender, so I won't have to 'arm the 'air on yer pretty little head, love."
Colleen placed her cutlass on the captain's neck. "No man has ever gotten away with calling me love, and I'll never surrender to the likes of ye, Mr. Sparrows!" The pirate sighed. "Love, it's Captain Jack Sparrows." Colleen flipped her hair impatiently. "Does it really matter? Now off me ship, or I'll have yer head! Jack laughed. "Ha! Fer the ship's whore, ye 'ave a lot of spunk, that ye do!" Colleen's gaze darkened, and she pressed her sword closer to Jack's neck. "Ship's whore, am I? I'll have ye know I'm captain of this vessel. Captain Colleen Valiquette to the likes of ye!"
While Colleen and Jack traded talk, the two crews stood silent but ready to fight. A few of the pirates looked on with interest as Colleen stood up to their captain with as much ferocity as a tiger. How could such a delicate, beautiful woman hold such rage and power? Colleen's crew, however, was not surprised at all. They all knew how dangerous their female captain could get.
Suddenly Captain Valiquette and Captain Sparrows began to fight. The sounds of metal clanking and curses filled the air. While they started out evenly matched, Colleen was put at a disadvantage because of her long skirt. "Damn piece of fabric!" she shouted, trying to block a blow. The hit, although blocked, threw Colleen to the floor of the deck. Jack calmly placed his sword at her throat and said, "I told ye love. No one can ever win against Captain Jack Sparrows." Colleen threw him a dirty look. "This match isn't over yet!" she exclaimed. Having said that, she kicked him in the stomach, knocking him backwards into the helm. Colleen jumped up and tied up her skirt, as not to be put to the disadvantage again.
Meanwhile, the crews had begun to fight as well. Though Valiquette's crew had received excellent training, they were no match for Sparrow's large crew. Outnumbered 2 to 1, Colleen's crew fought bravely and as best as they could to protect their captain's ship. But numbers can overpower even bravery and talent.
Jack and Colleen fought still, as Colleen was now able to leap and roll without the hindrance of her skirt. She threw some well-placed blows at Jack, but he was able to block most of them. It seemed as though Colleen might be able to pull this off and win, but we know that is never the case. Just as Captain Valiquette was about to knock Jack over with her cutlass, he stuck his foot out and tripped her. He drew picked up Colleen's sword and used it to create and 'X' over her neck, preventing her from moving without cutting her throat. "Hmmm.crude but effective. I'll have to remember that move," mused Jack. He called to his crew. "Ye got yer captives? Good! Now kill 'em while I deal with their Captain." Colleen cried out, "No! Wait!" Jack turned toward her. "What is it, love?" Colleen looked up at him with pleading eyes. "Ye can't kill me crew. Kill me, but not me family." Jack thought for a moment, and then called out, "Pirates! New plan. Take their gold and whatever else. Release the captives." He then turned to Colleen. "And you. Ye said you'd rather die than them?" Colleen nodded, expecting the worst. "Well, I'm not going to kill ye. I've thought of something much better than that. Yer coming with me."
Colleen couldn't believe her ears. Come with Jack? Come with a man who could do god knows what to a girl like her? She shivered at the thought of him touching her like that, him taking advantage of her. She would have continued to think of those awful things had Captain Jack Sparrows not interrupted her thoughts. "Well? C'mon love!" he said, grabbing the swords and pulling them out of the deck. Jack picked her up. "Argh! Put me down, ye scallywag son of a bitch!" screamed Colleen. Jack threw her down. "Suit yourself." He motioned for one of the pirates. "Bring me the cabin boy," he ordered. Phil was dragged before the captain. "Tell your sister if she wants ye to live, she had better do as I tell 'er," Jack growled. Phillip whimpered. "All right! I'll come with ye. But ye let me brother go before I leave. And I get to say me goodbyes," said Colleen fiercely. Jack shrugged. "Whatever, love. So long as ye come with me, and don't try anything foolish, like escapin'."
Colleen got up and ran to her brother. "Goodbye, little Phil. Tell Daddy what happened. He'll think of some way to help." After hugging Phil goodbye, she walked over to James. "James, promise me you'll take care of me brother. And promise me another thing, James. Promise you'll take the position of captain whilst I'm gone." She held his hands. James looked at her and said, "Aye, Captain. I promise. The crew will be lookin' for ye soon." Colleen started to cry. As tears rolled down her cheeks, she stood up and kissed him. "Goodbye, lad." Captain Jack Sparrows grabbed her arm and led her away. He called to his crew. "Ye all got yer booty? Then let's go, me hearties." Jack picked up Colleen and jumped over to the deck of The Black Pearl, along with the rest of his crew. He gave the orders to sail away. The last sight Colleen saw before she was locked in Jack's chambers was the sad, miserable faces of her crew, watching their captain sail away with a man called chaos.
