The Struggle Between Two Pirates
Chapter 8: The Brawl
Jack sees the two ships heading their way. He sees some of the pirates in a few row boats as well. He runs up to Morgan.
"We make way now!" he demands to Morgan.
Morgan nods and goes to untie the ropes and after he goes to the wheel. Jack begins to walk towards the cabin angrily.
"Come closer! Hurry!" Katrina says to herself as she looks out the window observing the two ships.
She has the bottle of Rum in one hand and the knife she found in the other. She hears footsteps outside the door and quickly turns her head to the door, lies down, and closes her eyes. The door opens and Jack walks in quickly. He goes to Katrina who looks to be passed out. He sits on the desk she lays on and grabs her. Pretending to be startled by Jack, Katrina reacts hastily taking the knife and slashing Jack in the face. Jack quickly covers his painful wound with his hand as Katrina drops the bottle of Rum, grabs Jack's pistol, and points it in his face.
"Don't move Jack! You fight back and I'll kill you!"
"Aren't you supposed to be drunk? How are you not with all that Rum you had?"
"You keep forgetting don't you? I'm Katrina, the infamous pirate witch!"
Jack smacks the pistol out of Katrina's hand, they both stand up fast and Katrina goes after him with her knife, but with much difficulty since she's still clapped in irons. Jack grabs her and pushes her away from him, she falls to the floor, and Jack goes after his pistol. Katrina puts her leg out and trips him and he falls to the ground. He tries to reach for his pistol but Katrina pulls him away from it and she punches him in the face. They begin to tackle each other down making it difficult to stand up for a few seconds.
Meanwhile, Barbossa and his men catch up to the little ship, they get on board it and Morgan tries to stop them, but Pintel shoots him on the spot. Barbossa walks around looking for Jack and Katrina while the crew stands and watches. All of a sudden, Katrina comes crashing through the cabin door and falls on her back onto the floor. Everyone is surprised as Jack comes after Katrina, but Katrina gets up and spears Jack and they both fall to the floor. Jack backhands Katrina and she digs her nails into his cheek. They try to pin one another down. Finally, Jack pushes Katrina off of him with his legs and she goes bumping into Barbossa. As she falls, she looks up and sees Barbossa looking down at her. Jack sees Barbossa and the crew as he and Katrina get up.
"That was a fine performance. Now it's time to kill the both of ye." Barbossa grabs his pistol and points it in Katrina's face.
"Don't! Don't make this mistake Barbossa. Hear me out first."
Barbossa looks confused and Jack tries to run off the ship.
"Stop him!" Katrina demands as Barbossa sticks the pistol closer to her face.
Koehler grabs Jack and brings him to Barbossa. Katrina raises her hands to show the irons. She's breathing heavily from the battle and she can barely stand with the drink in her.
"See this? That lil' note you found.all that was said in it was a lie."
Jack looks shocked that she would open her mouth as Barbossa looks at him wondering.
"What lie? It was your idea!"
"Shut up!" Barbossa yells to Jack. He turns to Katrina getting closer to her. "Are ye sayin' ye never betrayed me? Why should I believe you?"
Katrina tries to stand up straight, "First, Jack clapped these irons on me. Second, Jack told me he lied to you. Thirdly, how else do you think you found us? Did you really think you found us by accident? You knew how to find us thanks to me. Now why would I lead you here if I betrayed you so?"
Barbossa thinks about all that Katrina had said. He grabs the chain and pulls Katrina real close. She doesn't seem to be frightened, but Jack was trying not to watch everything in front of him. Barbossa looks over Katrina.
"Ye best not be lyin' to me."
"I have never lied to you. Why would I ever betray you?"
Jack looks at Katrina angrily. He interrupts.
"You're using him!" Barbossa points his pistol to Jack. "Barbossa, she only loves gold and with you she is feared far more than ever before. She'll use you as she used me."
"Jack, that was only with you." Katrina corrects Jack. "And you're not your usual self. I don't even think Jack Sparrow exists anymore. You've been a different person this whole time!"
Barbossa backs away from the two. The crew looks confused and watches for Barbossa's next move. Gibbs looks over at Jack and then to his crew. They make eye contact with him and Jack, but Jack is clueless.
"Which one of ye do I believe? Me rival Jack Sparrow or the pirate witch The Black Cat?"
Katrina looks Barbossa straight into his eyes while Jack thinks about something. He finally looks up at Gibbs who has tried to get his attention. Gibbs nods to Jack and Jack looks around.
Katrina speaks, "Well, if you must kill us both, then go right ahead, but you'll be making a big mistake by killing one of us. As crazy as it sounds coming from a pirate, all my love was poured into you Barbossa, know that."
