Chapter 12, here we go. This'll be short because I only have fifteen minutes before I have to do homework. Sorry I haven't updated, school sucks. But I figured you deserved something.


-On the Seastorm-

While Will and Elizabeth had been in the brig, what was Gibb's plan? He had sent Murtogg up alone, while he and the crews concealed themselves where ever they could. Murtogg created a ruckus out on deck, and as the crew came running from their bunks, they were surrounded. A foolproof plan, indeed.



Not quite.



The crew of the Seastorm were too well armed, and through the Pearl and the Dauntless' crews had retrieved their taken weapons, it was not quite enough to entirely intimidate the enemy. A bloody battle ensued.



But Gibb's would not let this fail. "Will!" he raored down into the brig. "Yer needed up 'ere, mate. 'Urry!" And hurry Will did, Elizabeth at his heels.



"Lissen, mate, this depends on you. Yer wot Barrin wants, aye? Come wit me, then." Grabbing Will by the shoulder, he hauled him towards the cabin in which Barrin hid.



Barrin saw him, and his insanity came full force. He bellowed like a wounded animal at the sight of his prey, and charged out of his cabin. Gibbs leapt out and struck the captain full-face with the butt of his sword, knocking the man unconcious.



It was a few minutes before the Seastorm's crew realized that their captain was down. When they did, they dropped to their knees, defeated.



Amongst the cheers of the crews, Elizabeth found a bewildered looking Will. He smiled at her, stepped away from Barrin's still form, and took her in his arms.



Barrin lifted his head, and blinked once, twice. He stood up, shook his mangy hair, and grabbed Will by the neck. "There y'are," he snarled, blinking the stars from his gaze.



"I challenge ye," Will blurted.



"Wot?"



"A challenge. You have to accept. I challenge you to a duel."



"A duel? Wit a fancy talkin' whelp?" Barrin snorted, then shrugged. "Aye, if it'lll dispose of ye."



The crews cheered, and formed a circle, their hatred against each other momentarily forgotten.




I know it's incredibally short, the next one should be up tomorrow though, or maybe later tonight. We'll see, aye? Sorry sorry sorry, I feel terrible, but it's better'n nothing, savvy?
