Chapter 12:
Cleo led Jack into a candlelit room, her room. She pushed Jack on the bed and crawled up beside him.
"You know Jack, you're the one man who has ever truly attracted me," said Cleo, stretching out on her bed.
"Should I be flattered?," asked Jack.
"In fact, you should," Cleo replied. "I have been under your sway since we first met."
"But I have never been under yours."
"True. You had something tying you down last time. Ashlynne is gone now. How about it, Jack? You always have been my one weakness."
"I can't." This frustrated Cleo. The two than heard several screams.
"Damnit. We will continue this later." She left the room and locked the door behind her.
"When will she learn?," Jack muttered as he shot the lock off. He walked down the narrow corridors until he came to the plae where his rew was fighting Cleo's. Cleo was just standing there in awe.
"Quit shooting holes in my goddamn ship," she shouted. Jack's crew greatly out numbered hers. Jack walked up to Cleo.
"Cleo darling. Let us dance," said Jack. He drew his sword as did she and they began their dance. A few minutes later, Tanya ran in with Christina. Tanya handed Chris a sword.
"Make yourself useful, Cody," shouted Tanya as Nina attacked her. Cleo only had 4 people left and was greatly out numbered.
"Well, I guess I win Cleo," said Jak smirking.
"No, you haven't won Jack. Not this time, not ever. Even if you kill me, you'll go down to," shouted Cleo.
"Actually Cleo, the spell wasn't permanent," said one of the girls.
"What do you mean?," asked Cleo.
"I mean it has to be preformed every five years and the spell was preformed once," said she.
"Oh shit," said Cleo. She turned to face Jack and Christina.
"Together Jack?," asked Christina.
"But of course, love," said Jack. At the exact same moment, Jack and Christina drove their swords into Cleo. Tears ran down her face.
"I loved you, Jack," she whispered as she fell to the ground. She was dead. Jack continued to drive his sword into her even after she had died.
"Jack, she's dead. She'll never hurt anyone again," said Christina.
"Your right. Your right," said Jak wiping the blood from his hands.
"Jack, the look in your eyes as you stabbed her. It scarred me," said Chris. A tear slid down her cheek.
"I'm sorry, love. But as you said, she is gone. She is gone at last," said Jack. They sat on the floor holding each other. The nightmare was over. The only thing Christina had to face now was her father and the captain.
Jack took Christina home with a heavy heart. He didn't know what he'd do without her. He had grown on her in the past few weeks. The two were walking up to Christina's homein complete silence. They were now on the little path that led to her front door. Christina looked at Jack.
"Well, this is it," she said.
"I guess this is it," said Jack.
"I'll miss you, Jack." Christina was now crying.
"And I you, love." Christina turned as if to go in, but than turned to Jack. She kissed him softly. Right as he was returning her kiss, Christina's father walked out.
"Christina, you look like a rag tag," said Governor Cody.
"Hello to you to, father," said Christina cooly.
"Robert has been worried sick, as have I," said the Governor,"And who is this?"
"This is Jack. He took care of me when I ran away," said Christina.
"You me you weren't kidnapped?," asked the Governor.
"No," said Chris. She gulped. It was time to face her father. Jack was already walking away. "Truth is father, I can't stand you or Robert or anyone for that matter. You never gave me a choice. You tryed to decide my life for me. Truth is, I love being away from here. I love Jack and I love the sea. I love freedom."
"I won't allow it," said the Governor.
"Allow this," she ran towards the road after Jack. She shouted his name."Jack."
"Christina," he said. He scooped her up in his arms and kissed her."What about your father?"
"Oh hang him. Hang them all. They can't hold me down any longer."
"They will come looking for you," said Jack.
"Than we better get a head start than." She raced towards the dock with Jack behind her. They saw the Pearl in the cluster of ships and ran aboard. Jack yelled orders to the crew. They would have it all. Love with freedom. This was a beautiful thing.A thing that would last even after death, for love is the greatest thing you'll ever learn.
