You guys rock!!!!!!!!!! These reviews are making me write a lot
faster. If you have any suggestions for this story I'll be glad to
consider them. Except if you want a Will/Elizabeth romance. Sorry, but as
I've already said this is a Jack/Elizabeth story. I've still put in some
Will/Elizabeth moments for those who want them but Elizabeth doesn't
exactly enjoy them as you've already seen. What do you guys think about
setting Will up with AnnaMaria? Too weird? Let me know. To reviewers:
H2o Girl: Hi Dana. Ha! You finally reviewed. I thought that line might get you. Good line though, huh? Especially when Jack says it. (To all you people who are really confused try "Oh ye gods and little fishes.") YOU THINK I'D KILL WILL FOR A COOKIE????????? Idiot! Go read another story if you want that. Or write your own story where Will dies- oops I shouldn't have suggested that. Well go read another story anyway. I don't know any where Will dies but if you want one where Elizabeth dies try A Pirate's Heart of Blood by emeraldmedallion
Mary: They do, don't they?
Freaky: Sheesh, I put up a chapter every few days and you ask me to hurry up? I'll try ( Don't worry about Will. He gets me. Muahahahahahaha. Just kidding.
Jenni: I'm planning on some Jack/Elizabeth action really soon. Like the next chapter. Happy?
emeraldmedallion: Thanks for taking the time to read my story (that goes out to all of you reading this, too). I hope you continue. I try to update as soon as possible.
Karin: you didn't review. *Sob* *sob*

Rain splattered into Elizabeth's face making it hard to see. No-one had seemed to realize who she was. They just thought she was another member of the crew. Elizabeth pulled the cloak farther over her face in order to keep out the rain and not be seen. She felt slightly guilty but she was only doing her duty after all.
She heard Jack's yelled commands faintly as they were blown away by the wind. Lightning flashed and for a moment everything was illuminated bright as day. Elizabeth saw the huge ship, black sails expanding with the heavy wind. "We can't keep the sails up," yelled Gibbs to Jack, "They'll tear. We 'ave ta take 'em down."
"If we have to surely they'll have to, too," Will cried.
"I'm 'faird not, lad," Gibbs called, "Their sails are a lot heavier and stronger than ours. They can withstand this wind."
"We ain't got holes in our sails for nothin'," Jack barked, "Leave 'em up."
Gibbs swallowed an argument and nodded. "Throw everythin' we don't need overboard," Jack continued.
"That sounds strangely familiar," grumbled Will.
"We don't 'ave much ta spare, Capt'," Gibbs yelled, "Only the few treasure chest we 'ave aboard."
Jack's face went tight. For a moment he didn't speak then determination filled his eyes. "Throw 'em over," he said, thinly.
"Aye Capt'," Gibbs agreed and he began calling to the crew.
Elizabeth helped lug a chest over to the side of the ship and dumped the treasure. Gold spilled onto the ocean's surface to be swallowed by the waves. She was about to drop the chest when a hand stayed hers. "Not that," Gibbs told her, "It might come in handy."
He walked off not even realizing it was her. "We're going to have to fight, Jack," Will yelled. His hood was thrown back and his hair was sticking to his face, "They're gaining on us."
His hand was gripping the hilt of his sword, tightly. "They're within cannon range, now," Jack commanded, "Fire at them and when they come closer, be prepared to use muskets and pistols."
No sooner had he spoken than a boom sounded from the Shadow. The crew ducked. The shot missed the Black Pearl by feet, splashing into the water. Gibbs recovered fastest and managed to fire back at them with one of the Pearl's cannons. The crew rushed to help and there were several more booms of both ship's cannons going off.
Another cannonball came flying at the Black Pearl. The was an enormous crack and the mainmast fell after being hit. The crew ran for cover. Jack swore. "Bloody pirates," he yelled, "I'll 'ave you for hurting my ship."
They were coming too close for cannons. The crew took out muskets and pistols and began shooting at the pirates on the Shadow, dodging bullets aimed at them. Elizabeth grabbed a spare musket and took aim.
The Shadow drew alongside the Pearl. The crew was jeering. A man stood in the middle of them, close in size and statue to Barbossa. He was wearing Barbossa's huge hat, with a new enormous feather. "You 'ave somethin' that we want, Sparrow and we will get it from you by force if you don' give it to us freely."
"Do whateve' ya want, ya mangy scurs," Jack yelled back, "Ya can' beat, Capt' Jack Sparrow."
The Shadow's crew seemed to think this funny. They roared with laughter. "You're as good as dead, Sparrow," Jussic called back (for that's who he was.)
The battle was short. It ended as the storm abated. The crew of the Back Pearl was tied up on the deck of the Shadow, forced to watch as their ship was cannoned to pieces. Jack was outraged but tried his normal trick. "I don't think you want to be doin' that, savvy?" he asked as the pirates took aim at the already damaged Black Pearl.
"Shut yor mouth if ya know what's good fer ya," Jussic shot back, not taking his eyes of his target.
"The Pearl's a good ship," Jack continued, undaunted, "Ya don't really want ta destroy a good ship, do ya now?"
He didn't get any farther. Several cannonballs later, the Black Pearl was rapidly sinking.
"Good-bye," sniffed Jack, with almost true sincerity, "Ya served me well."
"Shut up," snapped Jussic.
There was no Will to save them now. He was tied up with the rest of the crew. They all awaited Jussic's displeasure. "Elizabeth was on the Pearl," Will whispered to Jack, "I don't suppose there's any chance of her living?"
"Probably not," Jack muttered back, equally grim.
Elizabeth hadn't heard them. She was pressed against Gibbs and Cotton. Jussic circled the crew. His eyes rested on Elizabeth. He walked over to her and pushed back her hood. "Well, well look what we 'ave 'ere," he smiled nastily.
"Elizabeth!" cried Will.
Jussic pulled Elizabeth out from the rest of the crew and ran his hand across her trembling body. "Get your filthy hands off her," Will yelled, struggling against his bonds.
As Jussic turned to look at Will, Elizabeth did an AnnaMaria and slapped him across the face. AnnaMaria smiled proudly, but Jussic did not. He turned towards her, furious. "Why ya little bitch!" he growled.
He grabbed Elizabeth and jerked him roughly towards him. He tore off her shirt. "I wouldn't be doing that, if I were you," Jack said, in his normal lazy tone.
Elizabeth shot Jack a pleading terrified look. He couldn't do anything, however because three pistols pointed at his head. "Now, now gentlemen," he said, quickly, "I thought we were on good terms 'ere. Appears to some misunderstandin', savvy?"
"I've had enough of ya, Sparrow," Jussic snapped losing interest in Elizabeth and dropping her on the deck, "Tell me where that map is of yers."
"What map?" Jack asked, innocently.
"I didn't bring you here to play games," Jussic growled, "Tell me where it is."
"Only if ya agree not ta harm any of us," Jack replied, knowing asking to go free was not an option.
Jussic nodded
"Very well," Jack said, "It went down with the ship."
Jussic swore in anger. "I told ya not to destroy that ship, but did ya listen ta me? No," Jack started, "No-one ever listens to poor Capt' Jack Sparrow."
"Shut up, ya overgrown pig," Jussic spat, "I've got something that might make you happy."
"What?" inquired Jack.
"We're approaching the island my predecessor made ya governor of."
Jack's face contorted.
"Ya get to govern it again," Jussic told him, smugly, "Ya and the girl. He's." he jerked his head at Will, "..is far to fond of her."
"Elizabeth!" Will called, desperately.
"Off you go," Jussic smiled nastily.
"Barbossa allowed me a pistol with one bullet, before. Certainly, ya would oblige ta do the same, savvy?" Jack asked.
"I suppose I'll grant the same wishes as Barbossa. I don't want ta seem too cruel, now would I?" He laughed along with the crew, "Go and get it then."
He threw a pistol into the water. As he had done before, an extremely annoyed Jack took a swan dive into the water after it. Elizabeth went next. She didn't have time to say anything. Jussic pushed her so hard; she tripped and went flying down alongside Jack, who had just managed to find the pistol.
Without saying anything to each other, they glumly swam ashore the island. The crew of the Shadow laughed and the ship started to sail away. "Bloody pirates," Jack muttered, glowering after them. They were stuck on the island again.

Nice and long, huh? Sorry I'm not that good at writing battle scenes. Next chapter will have the Jack/Elizabeth action I promised. The map isn't really destroyed but what happened to it? Could the island that they're on, hold some secret they never knew about? (No, I'm not talking about the rum.) Suggestions are welcomed, even though I have I pretty good idea of what's going to happen now. Review please. Make me happy. Except you Dana. You will never make me happy. Even if you review a hundred times. You wanted me to kill Will for a cookie. Grrrrrr.. Anyway (cheesy smile) hoped you liked my newest addition to A Pirate's Holiday and once again I apologize for the stupid title. (I'm really bad at titles.)
