Chapter 22 Taste death!
"Arggg!" From behind Eponine threw the same knife she held up to his neck through his back.
"Take that you whore."
"Eponine!" Jack yelled, the men standing by Jack and Will kicked the boxes from underneath them. Their necks didn't snap and they hung struggling from suffocating to death. Eponine grabbed the knife from Percy's back and the sword from his belt. She ran over to Jack and started to cut him down. "Behind you!"
Jack barely made it out she quickly turned to block a sword from cracking her skull, and with the knife she cut the man's stomach open. And with that she turned and quickly swiped at the ropes and Jack and Will fell quickly to the ground, uncut the ropes that bound their hands and the second fight began.
"Where's Elizabeth?" Jack yelled to her while he slashed a man's throat.
"Don't worry she's safe!"
"You came here alone?"
"We couldn't save your life with a baby in her arms now could we?"
Elizabeth watched from the near by trees as Jack, Eponine and the rest of the crew fought with all of their strength, Percy lay down still grunting in the sand. Eponine had just barely missed his spine and he was very glad that she didn't slice through it.
Soon it was pitch black be sides the moon shinning down on the new prisoners. Since Eponine had struck down their leader they had no real command to tell them what to do. They had fought bravely for an hour and then soon fell. They were now in a row like Jack and Eponine had once been in, but it was slightly different, each man had a rope around their necks and each rope was strung to a tree, as they stood on rocks, boxes and barrels.
"If you pledge your obedience to me I will cut the rope and you can join my crew," Jack standing out in front of the line with his men behind him, with Eponine to his right and Will to his left.
"I will!" Percy was in the middle of the row looking as pathetic as he always had.
Jack started to laugh and walked up to him, and spoke very slowly, clearly and very quiet so just he and the men right by them could hear. "No, I do not offer you the same bargain. You WILL die."
He spat into Jacks face. Jack smirked and turned around giving the sign to one of his men to kill him. The man walked over to Percy and was about to kick the box from underneath him.
"Wait!" Eponine yelled. The man stopped what he was going to do. Jack looked at Eponine with curiosity. She smiled. "I want to do it."
Jack looked from Percy to Eponine after a minute he nodded and she walked over to him.
"I knew I would have the pleasure of killing you someday Belle. I haven't spent much time with you but I have with your men for a month and the way they talk about you and the little time I have spent with you has given me the conclusion that you are a very sick man."
"Say what you will you whore, but no matter what you do. Jack will never marry you and once I am dead I will never stop haunting you."
"See that's what you think, the men that having everything to lose don't come back and haunt they die and are never remembered."
His green eyes turned to a yellow in discust that this woman would be the end of him. "For all I care you whore, you will remember me and I will live forever."
"That's the thing I wont." She leaned in close and spoke in a whisper. "Taste death."
The next second she pushed the box from underneath him, he struggled for a second then the next he was gone. The rest of the men became Jacks new crew of the his fleet of 3 ships.
