Chapter Thirteen: Trapped

Lissie came up from below the deck only to find the crew in total disgrace. She hadn't recognized the music because she was too busy thinking about Will.

"What's happening?" she asked, playing along.

"The Black Pearl! She's gaining on us!" exclaimed Anamaria.

"Jack's coming back!" whispered Beth.

She saw the look on Lissie's face, and she knew something was wrong. Normally she would have told her to shut up about Jack, but she didn't this time. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," said Lissie, wiping her eyes.

"Really? You look like you did when Ben broke up with you," said Beth. "What really happened?"

"Will knows. Elizabeth told him." Lissie whispered.

"WHAT?! Ooh, I'll kill her…"

"And now he's mad at me."

"I'll kill her…"

"But not if Barbossa kills us first!"

"Anything we can afford to lose, see that it's lost!" said Gibbs suddenly.

Will came up, shocked at what was going on. He looked over the edge of the ship, and saw the Black Pearl coming ever closer. One of the sailors was trying to throw off a cannon, but Will stopped him.

"We're gonna need that."

The music got quieter. Everyone on the Interceptor knew they wouldn't win this one.

"It was a good plan… until now." Said Anamaria gravely.

"Gibbs! We have to make a stand! We must fight! Load the guns!" said Will.

"With what?"

"Anything! Everything! Anything we have left!"

"Lower the anchor on the right side! On the starboard side!" said Elizabeth suddenly.

"It certainly has the element of surprise."

"You're daft lady! You both are!"

"Daft like Jack!" Then, Gibbs told the rest of the crew to lower the anchor, or over his dead body he would load them into the cannons.

Will took a look back at Lissie and Elizabeth, then walked away. Elizabeth followed, but Lissie suddenly remembered something…

"Where are you going?" asked Beth as Lissie ran across the ship.

"Medallion! Hello, get with the mov—program!" said Lissie.

Just as she was about to open the trap door, the anchor was lowered, and she didn't get the chance to grab onto something to keep her balance. So, she found herself thrown across the ship and once again straight into Will's arms.

His expression was difficult to read. But instead, he just moved over, letting her get on with her business.

She lied to me, he thought. I don't love her… do I? He looked around. Great, now she's gone, and she probably hates me for saying all that stuff to her…and Elizabeth…

Lissie jumped down into the bottom of the ship, seeing water everywhere. Great, she thought. Just great. Then, she tried to find the medallion. But a powerful blow to the ship caused her to fall over, knocking her head on the table, and she blacked out and lost consciousness.

I know what he's about to say… I know what he's about to say… I must not scream… thought Beth.

"STOP BLOWIN' HOLES IN MY SHIP!" screamed Jack on the Black Pearl.

Inside her mind, she did a little squeal of delight as she aimed a shot at a pirate on the Black Pearl, and at the same time looking out for Jack, making sure she didn't accidentally shoot him.

"We could use a few more ideas lass!" said Gibbs to Elizabeth.

"Your turn!" she said back. "What about you?" she whispered to Beth, who was next to her. "We could use some ideas from you, now, couldn't we?"

Beth glared at her. "You betrayed me and Lissie. And speaking of Lissie… where is she?"

"What we need is a devil's daring."

"We'll give them her!" said Anamaria, pointing her gun at Elizabeth's head.

Let the trigger go off… Let the trigger go off! Thought Beth.

"She's not what they're after," said Will.

Elizabeth felt her chest, the place where the medallion should be, only to find it wasn't there. "The medallion!"

Will ran off below deck to find it.

Once he got down there, he immediately saw Lissie lying unconscious.

Great, he thought.

"Lissie! Wake up!" he said, shaking her gently.

"What happened?" she asked suddenly as she woke up. Then, it all came flooding back to her.

"What are you doing down here?" he asked.

"Saving your life," she replied.

"How—"

"Look, if you want to stay alive, then you've got to trust me," she said. "Every second counts. Now, get out of here!"

"Why?"

She sighed impatiently. "The mast is about to fall, and cover up the grate, and you, well, no time to explain now! Get out of here!" she said, pushing him to the doorway.

"Go," he said.

Lissie opened her mouth to protest, but Will stopped her.

"I don't care about me, but I want you to be safe! That's all that matters! Lissie, just go!"

Lissie quickly scrambled up, and just as Will was about to follow, she heard the familiar creaking sound and looked up. The mast was falling.

"WILL!" she screamed. "HURRY UP!" she jumped out of the way, but it was too late. Will was trapped.

Sorry I'm leaving you hanging, but don't worry, more is on the way! I'm just feeling evil right now… MOOAHAHAHA!!!!!!
