Chapter Fifteen: I Love Ye!

The rain had continued through the night and into morning. In fact, it was a crash of thunder and a scream from Beth that had waken Lissie up. She moaned sleepily and went back to sleep, wishing that this was all just a horrible dream and that she was back in her own house in modern day America with Will.

Beth walked over to the window and saw that the Black Pearl was no longer in the range of her vision. But, she could see a small island with a few huge rocks by it… It looked like the island that her, Jack, and Lissie had gotten stranded on. (I know I said in the last chappy that it was nothing but rocks, but I changed my mind, and I'm too lazy to change the old chappy!) They probably hid behind there, she thought to herself.

There was no point of sending them the message in the locket now; now that they had found them they would definitely come to save them, and wouldn't take no for an answer.

She sighed, putting her forehead against the window. "Oh Jack," she whispered. "Please don't come. If… if you love me… you wouldn't."

Meanwhile, Bósun was striding down to the Captain's Quarters with a look of grim satisfaction on his face. The day that Barbossa had been waiting for had finally come. He knocked on the door. Barbossa answered a couple seconds later.

"What do you want?" he snapped to his first mate.

"They're here. They've come," (couldn't resist!) he said.

Barbossa grinned, revealing his rotting teeth. "You know the plan. Is our weapon in place?"

"Yes, any minute now, and activation will occur."

"Excellent. Tell the crew what they are to do! I'll speak to the wenches…"

They both split off in opposite directions; Bósun to the rest of the crew's quarters, Barbossa to Beth and Lissie's room.

He knocked on the door roughly and opened it.

Lissie finally woke up when he kicked her in the stomach. She cringed and let out a painful sounding moan.

"Now, as I pointed out to ye girls last night… looks like the Prince Charmings have finally come to yer rescue. If ye say one word to them about our plan… it'll be curtains for all of ye."

And with that, he walked out of the room, slamming the door. Beth walked quickly over to Lissie.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

Lissie winced, her eyes watering. "No permanent damage," she said through gritted teeth.

"So… they're coming…" Beth whispered.

"And you're worrying about me," replied Lissie.

"Jack! Come on! Let's go!" said Will, ushering to the rowboats out on the deck.

Jack was inside the dining room, staring at the pouring rain. "Will, I like yer sense of enthusiasm, but sometimes, it can be just a lil' too much. I want to rescue 'em too, but HOW THE HECK ARE WE GONNA DO IT IN THIS?!" he yelled, pointing to the window.

"We act like we don't even feel it. Now let's get a move on it!" said Will, pushing Jack to the door.

"Will, have ye gone mad? Did ye sneak into me stash of rum last nigh'? After ye told me to stay sober! Naughty, naughty!"

Will growled.

"Down, bessy," said Jack. (LOL Zach!)

They had finally gotten out onto the deck and within seconds they were soaking wet.

"We should find the crew!" Will yelled.

"Yeah, they'd probably want to come with us!" said Jack sarcastically.

Will didn't hear him, he led the way down to the crew's quarters. After five minutes…

"WHAT DO YE MEAN YER NOT COMIN' WITH US?!" Jack roared.

"Jack, we want to, believe us!" said Gibbs.

"Just not in this weather," said Anamaria.

"Come on! We need your help!" said Will desperately.

"We can't! Besides, what if their crew invades the ship?"

"Ah, yer right," said Jack. "So it's just me an' Will together goin' out on a dangerous journey. If we don' come back, we're both botherin' all o' ye in yer afterlives!"

"Fine by us, Jack," said Anamaria.

"Right, let's go, Jack," said Will, pushing a very shocked Jack out of the room.

"They… me crew… they betrayed me!" said Jack in disbelief.

"It happens," said Will hastily. "Now, let's GET A MOVE ON IT!"

They started to row to Barbossa's ship, hoping they wouldn't be noticed. Once they finally reached the ship, Jack spoke.

"Will, I know I never told ye this before…but… I just want ye to know in case I die."

"What, Jack?" said Will, sounding slightly annoyed, but nevertheless curious.

"Well… I… I…"

"Spit it out, Jack!" Will whispered.

"I love ye!"

Will's eyes widened, and his mouth fell open. Just as he was about to blow chunks over the side of the rowboat, Jack let out a quiet laugh. "Just kiddin', mate! I'm straight, remember? I'm ENGAGED."

"Thank God!" said Will.

"But, yer me best friend, an' without ye, I wouldn't have gotten this far. I never tol' ye after all these years how much I appreciate it. Sure, yer stubborn, but—"

"Jack, as much as I would like to listen to your extremely long, boring speech, we have two women to save!" said Will.

"Aye, then why'd ye hold me back?" asked Jack, as usual blaming something that went wrong on Will, who rolled his eyes.

They quietly climbed onto the boat. Surprisingly, no one was there. All that could be heard was the rain, which was still pouring. Will and Jack were soaked through. They drew their swords, just in case.

"Jack?" asked Will quietly.

"Yeah?"

"You're my best friend too."

He smiled, wiping an imaginary tear from his face. "Thanks, mate."

They crept over the deck, when suddenly, they heard a noise, sounding like a woman trying to call for help.

They whipped around, both of them thinking it was Beth and Lissie. However, it wasn't either of them.
