A/N: Sorry I couldn't update in so long, my brother was dissecting our
computer and "fixing" it. As if. P.S. Something terrible is happening to
me. Well, it could be wonderful. I don't know. Get this: I THINK I'M
FALLING FOR BRAD PITT. But I still love Orli! Honest! Oh, somebody help
me!!!!!!!
Did You Know: Apparently, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is only going to be 2 hours, 15 minutes long, and maybe even PG-13. Wouldn't expect that.
TOO BIG A FAN: You know you're too big of a fan of Harry Potter if your computer says, "You've Got Mail", and you run outside looking for an owl.
TOO BIG A FAN: You know you're too big a fan of Pirates of the Caribbean if someone talks about going to the Caribbean and you say "Well, just be glad that Captain Sparrow got rid of all those nasty pirates for you."
TOO BIG A FAN: You know you're too big a fan of Lord of the Rings if someone is talking about Legolas, and you're conversation looks something like this:
Them: Yeah, Legolas, isn't he cool? You: Oh, so now you're on a first name basis with him? Them: What--? You: THAT'S MR. GREENLEAF TO YOU!!!!
DISCLAIMER: Plot, Caden, 20-year-old girl, Claire, Alex, 'the man', and the captain are mine. That's about it. Nothin' else.
CHAPTER 10: RESCUED-FINALLY!
Caden was on the ground, sword in hand, and telling Alex he would one day have both revenge and Claire.
"Caden, I would die before I saw you and Claire together," Alex snapped. He sheathed his sword. "I suggest you take some more sword fighting lessons from your father. That was pathetic." He kicked the door open as Caden began to get up.
"We'll see, Alex, we'll see." He muttered.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"ALEX!" Claire screamed, praying that he would come out of that door and protect her.
He came.
Alex ran out of the door the moment he heard it, and ran over to Claire, not even noticing the skeleton-pirates. That might have been because it was now turning dawn, so they were changing back to normal.
"What Claire, what is it?" He said, putting his arms around her in a protective manner.
She pointed a finger at the captain.
Alex's hands immediately dropped from Claire's waist to his sword. "Barbossa." He said.
"Ello, Alex. What're ye doin on me ship?" The captain asked, an angry look on his ugly face.
"Depends." Alex said calmly, and putting an arm around Claire's waist for her own protection. "What are you doing with Miss Turner?"
"Gettin' revenge fer me brother. What that Sparrow did was a nasty trick, and it won't happen again." At these words, Claire moved in closer to Alex. Fear was taking over.
"Former Captain Barbossa of the Black Pearl was destroyed for the good of the common man. If he had stayed alive, who knows what would've happened." The captain drew his sword at this. Alex drew his.
"Claire, stay back," he whispered into her ear. "In fact, just, just..." Alex bit his lip. "Just don't get in the middle of this." He finally said.
"NO." She said. She drew her own sword, which seemed to have been hidden this whole time. "You can't fight this man alone. You'll need help. And that's where I come in."
Alex rolled his eyes. "Clarissa, NO. That is final. I'm not going to let you fight him. You could be killed."
"So could you." She said defiantly. Alex sighed.
"Fi-" he started, but someone interrupted him.

It was nearly midnight, and Jack and Will were arguing again.
"How, oh how, are we going to find this ship, the-what was is again?" Will asked angrily.
"That would be 'The Dark Revenge', mate. Can't you see? I'm tellin ye that that is where Alex is. And if Alex is there, then Claire probably will be too." Jack said, answering and explaining himself at the same time.
"Fine, fine, fine! I don't care anymore! As long as I get my daughter back, I'll be okay." Will replied.
The first mate-second mate really, because Anamaria was the first mate but not there-Mr. Gibbs, walked into the cabin where the men were and said "Captain, Mr. Turner, we are not more than 2½ miles away from the 'Dark Revenge'. Should we keep goin?"
"OF COURSE!" Both men shouted at the same time.
"Alrighty then." Gibbs said, and walked out. "Just like old times," He said.
When the ship reached 'The Dark Revenge', it was nearly dawn. Will and Jack ran up to the deck to get a better view and to see what they were up against. It didn't look like much. They could see the crew running around, getting ready for the approaching Black Pearl. Jack yelled over to the ship's captain. He was standing right next to two teenagers that seemed to be arguing, but then they backed away and ran somewhere. The captain took no notice.
"Aye, Captain Barbossa, how lovely are you looking this morning! I'm sorry to say, that for yer ship and crew, I cannot say the same!" Jack yelled, while Will was barking orders to everyone around him.
"Quiet Sparrow! How dare you speak insultingly of my ship? And crew? I guess you'll just have to pay for that. Fire!" The first cannon shot was fired, and at the Black Pearl. It left quite a mark.
"Stop putting holes in my ship!" Jack screamed. "Men, go! Go and...FIGHT! SHOOT! I DON'T GIVE A BLOODY CARE WHAT! JUST GO!!!!!!!!!" And so the men went.
Soon it was an all out war. Men were fighting, shooting, and cannon fire was being shot all over. Will was fighting just to keep alive. That crew was a lot tougher than it looked. Finally, about an hour later, each crew was back on its own ship, or at least getting there. But the shooting hadn't stopped. Jack was standing right next to Will saying, "I must have made a mistake." But Jack didn't make a mistake. Both Will and Jack saw the same thing:
Alex was jumping on to the Black Pearl, with Claire right behind him. She was holding onto his hand for dear life. Then Alex and Claire were running in front of Jack and Will, Alex saying, "Hello Captain, Mr. Turner." They then ran into a cabin, where they could be alone.
Will started towards the cabin, but was stopped by Jack saying, "Let 'em go, mate. They're goin to need a li'le time to themselves." So Will waited.

"Maybe we should just wait a little longer," Joseph Norrington said to his father. "I don't think this is worth getting the whole army roused up, just for one little girl."
"Well, Joseph, you obviously don't remember what happened 16 years ago. And if you don't, then oh well. But, I had the whole army sailing around the Caribbean for Mrs. Elizabeth Turner."
"Yes father, but you only did that because you loved her. And because she was the governor's daughter."
"Joseph, enough. MEN, SET SAIL!" General Norrington said to his men, and the ship began sailing. Elizabeth and Anamaria were at the helm, talking to the man steering.
"I'm on my way Caden, you'll have her soon enough." Joseph whispered quietly.
A/N: Whoa! What have I DONE???? Well, you'll just have to wait 'til next the next chappie to find out, eh? Romance is a blossimin between Claire and Alex, so be happy!!!!!!!!!! And no, Caden is not out of the picture yet! REVIEW!
Preview of what's to come (Not necessarily in the next chapter)
"This isn't a time for rash actions, Caden." Joseph said warningly.
"I think it is, Joseph," Jesse said.
"Why don't you just let me go? I've done nothing to you." Claire said desperately.
Caden moved up close to Claire. "I'm afraid it's not that simple." Jesse smirked. Joseph grinned. Caden just kissed.
"You can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest, because he will always be dishonest. However, you can never trust an honest man, because you'll never know if he'll do something very, very...stupid."
