I do not potc or anything to do with it. Here it is guys, Thanks for the reviews sorry to make you sweat so much,
Cassandra closed her eyes, despair settling on her shoulders like lead. Callis was laughing but Jack did not move his pistol remained pointing to the Governors face.
"You are a fool Sparrow, I know you wont shoot me," he father repeated trying to mock a reaction from the pirate. From the shadows Cassandra stepped.
"I will," she muttered pulling the trigger, her fathers face took on a look of shock as his chest burst, he slumped against the beginnings on the cliff faces trying in vain to stop the bleeding.
Jack stared long and hard at his gun, turning it round to peer down the barrel trying to work out how it had gone off. Deeply confused he turned to Mr Gibbs and shrugged, the old man rolled his eyes and nodded weakly in the direction of Cassandra. Jack turned round to face her and straightened, his confusion deepening further.
"Cassandra?" he asked his eyes wide. She didn't look up, instead she stepped forward and tore the pistol from her fathers hands.
"Cassandra my daughter, your alive," he spluttered reaching his blood covered hand to her. Cassandra raised to pistol towards his head closing her eyes briefly.
"Cassandra, I know you cant kill me, it wouldn't be right, we need each other Cassandra, for the family."
"What family!" Cassandra finally snapped her hands beginning to shake with anger as she confronted her father. "There is no family left because you drove them all away!" Tears began to fall onto her cheeks, but still she aimed the pistol as it shook in her clammy hands, "You beat and raped my mother just so as you could have a son, then you wondered why she lost so many babies so you beat her again, you drove her away, she left me with you because she thought it would be some consolation to her failure at not giving you the son you needed!" Cassandra was screaming, rain now beginning to ease through the storm clouds that had gathered above them. It trickled down her face and she willed herself to pull the trigger. Tears formed now in her fathers eyes and he reached for her again.
"I'm sorry Cassandra, it will change now, I promise, I always did love you I just found it hard to show it." her father winced straining to reach her hand as she let the pistol fall to her side. "Please let us go and fetch the doctor," he shifted his bulk trying to move. Cassandra sobbed and she finally held out her hand giving in to the Governor's plea's. She felt the tip of her father's fingers brush against her's before she was knocked to the side, Jack stood now where she had, the pistol pressing against the Governors forehead.
"Remember that moment we had back in the jail," he slurred leaning towards the heavy man, "Who's eyes do you see mate," he pulled the trigger. Cassandra cried out as she fell to her knees watching as her fathers body fell back, blood oozing from behind his head. Jack quickly came to her side and knelt beside her.
"I'm wondering how your still alive, luv," he said slipping an arm round her waist and pulling her to her feet. He cast her a quick smile, "I'd rather you were of course," Cassandra gave him the briefest of looks and turned back to Callis's body.
"I would have let him live," she murmured, she turned to Jack, "How can you just do that, kill people and feel not an inch of remorse?"
Jack sighed and bend down to the Governors belt,
"I'm a bloody pirate," he grunted pulling out a pouch full of coins, Cassandra snatched the coins off him and threw them back down on her father's body.
"You will not steal from my dead father," she snapped, Jack stepped forward raising his hand to aid his explanation.
"Cassandra luv, because of that fat swine sitting just there," he pointed at Callis in case Cassandra had forgotten where he was. "I have lost six men, one woman, I've been shot, I've had me ears boxed by yourself, I've watched him kill you," he stopped thinking that that particular phrase didn't make sense, raising his eyebrows he continued, "I've had my first mate near killed and then I stood and watched you offer him his life back." Jack snatched back the money pouch. "Savvy?" He waved it at her face, "This is a small price to pay for what I nearly lost." he reached over and touched her face, "You that is," he suddenly became aware of Mr Gibbs and Diago's prying eyes, he straightened himself. "Besides I cant keep my filthy hand off easy pickings," he tossed the pouch in the air and caught it flashing Cassandra a charming smile. "or any other treasure for that matter," Cassandra smiled at last feeling at last her fighting was over. She sighed heavily watching as Diago helped Mr Gibbs onto the beach to the small row boat. Jack turned to her his dark eyes studying the emotion in her face.
"I'm finished here Cassandra luv," he motioned with his hand in the direction of Port Dillon,
"The question now being, are you?" Cassandra stared back at the town. With her father dead it would be her that would take the title of Governess, a chance to pull the town out of it's pitiful demise. She sighed reaching out to grasp a hold of Jack's hand. He shifted uneasily and pulled his hand away. This annoyed Cassandra, his complete lack of emotion bothered her, even when she had died in front of him she had noted he had not spared much for her other than a threat to her father. Drawing a hand sharply across his face, she slapped him. Eye's wide Jack faced her rubbing his stinging cheek.
"What the bloody hell was that for?"
"What are you afraid of Jack? Why is it you run from your feeling, if you have any at all?" she folded her arms over her chest and tapped her foot impatiently.
"I wont have any left if you keep beating them out of me," he muttered narrowing his eyes over the Pearl checking she was still there. Cassandra smiled and took his hand again, his fingers curling as he thought briefly at taking it back. Thinking better of it he took a step towards the row boat.
"Are you finished here?" he asked again glancing back at her as she stumbled over the uneven sands towards the boat. It was Cassandra who pulled her hand free stopping to watch as Jack stopped also, looking to the heavens for some support.
"I'll be finished here when you Jack Sparrow admit to me that you want me on your ship because of all the reasons in the world your quite fond of me," she grinned as the pirate sighed looking quite suddenly into her eyes.
"Did you mean what you said in the jail?" he questioned tipping his head back slightly and looking down his nose at her. Cassandra smiled.
"Aye Jack, I meant it, you stole my heart," Jack grinned,
"I don't believe there is anything I cant steal luv." he commented straightening proudly. Cassandra frowned and puffed out her cheeks, Jack could dodge a question as well as he could dodge death itself.
"I guess its going to take me a while to get you to admit it you sod," she said stepping passed Jack, his hand shot out and grabbed her wrist pulling her close to him.
"Of all the treasure I've plundered in my life, none of it shines or means to me as much as you, you can take my word for that so yes I will admit that I've become more than a little fond of yourself but what I wont admit is that some body has finally stolen from me the very thing that I have hidden all my life." he grinned, "and I don't intent to be having it back in a hurry, savvy?" Cassandra smiled, it was the best she could expect from the rouge. She brushes a kiss over his lips.
"I'm finished with Port Dillon Captain." Jack nodded swaying back a step.
"Aye," he eyed the town with distaste and turned swaggering off towards the row boat, "So tell me, how is it you manages to evade you death then?" Cassandra smiled grabbing a hold of his hand,
"well…
