Ok, now to the chapter. Enjoy mateys!
Happened in previous chapter:
"But you still haven't told them what happened that night, the thing you call a mistake?" Blake whispered cruelly. Tony had had enough.
"Your biggest mistake that will certainly cost you your life was when you took my innocence away when I was only sixteen years old." Tony told him, staring deep into his eyes, her eyes flashing. She was so deep in her murderous thoughts that she didn't feel when Jack placed a soothing hand on her shoulder…
- - - - -
I present to you: Chapter Fourteen!
- - - - -
Blake laughed an evil laugh which sent chills up and down their spines, he stood there and laughed into the silence where everyone stared at Tony in – was it pity? She was breathing heavily through her nostrils and her face was reddening steadily from the humiliation. Her biggest and most horrible secret was out now…
"You were sixteen?" Blake laughed. "Lovely! I had a good time though!" he continued. Tony wanted to cry. She felt the tears sting in the corners of her eyes but pressed them back, not wanting to show them that she was weak right now. "And taking my Treasure map as revenge wasn't very clever of you. I seriously thought ye were a bit cleverer than that. Everyone should know that it's not that easy to get away from Blake Redd with his map! But you didn't get that far, didja now?"
"Maybe not yet, but I will get my revenge even if it's the last thing I do!" Tony said through gritted teeth, her voice quivering dangerously. Jack's hand had not left her shoulder, but she had an urge to shake it off. She did not need any pity, especially not from Jack who called her a wench by the way! But at that moment, she really didn't care about Jack, Blake was the one she wanted to see have his head ripped off, as much blood spilled as possible. He had the nerve, standing there and laughing at her after all he had done.
Jack looked at Tony, now fully understanding the meaning of the name of her ship; The Serpent's Revenge. She wanted revenge on Blake Redd.
"You're a silly little girl, Tonya." Blake whispered, taking a step closer.
"Call me Tonya one more time, and I'll slice your tongue in pieces and feed it to the sharks!" she said in a low voice, glaring at him icily, her hands clutching into fists at the same time. Blake smirked, taking another step closer to her and raising his hand to stroke her cheek with his rough fingers. Tony wasn't somehow capable of moving. Suddenly a sword was between them again, pointing at Blake's chest and he lowered his hand when Jack spoke.
"'Ey, I said that no touching me wench." Jack said, glaring at Blake. Captain Redd smirked evilly and gave a little nod, looking over Jack's shoulder. He took a vicelike grip of Tony's hair and she whimpered in pain as a few hairs were pulled off her scalp. Blake pulled her to him, her cutlass falling to the deck soundlessly.
Jack moved forwards with his sword pointing at Blake's face, but he didn't make it far before feeling a pistol was cocked against his neck and he stopped, lowering his weapon. Tony gulped as she was pulled closer to Blake by her hair. Why couldn't she move? Why was he affecting her this way? She thought she was strong! Her legs felt like jelly in fear.
"I'm touching your wench right now, Sparrow," Blake said, stroking her cheek roughly with his hand, but Tony wasn't able to stop it even if she wanted to so much! "and she seems to like it." he whispered cruelly.
"Let go of her, Redd." Jack said slowly, even if he had a pistol aimed at him. He could see that Tony was very uncomfortable.
Blake shook his head. "No, I'm not finished with her yet. I'd so much like to feel Tonya's skin against mine once more…" he trailed off, his crew laughing heartily. Blake lifted his gaze from Tony to Jack and said; "She's one hell o' a tiger in the bed, Sparrow, quite a reluctant tiger that is. And she screams like a bloody sea gull. But ye know that already don't ya?" he said to Jack who narrowed his eyes.
Jack did not answer Blake. Tony glanced at him and saw him staring straight at her with pity in his eyes. She frowned.
"Anyway, now that we all now what a little whore Tonya Evans is –" Blake was cut off by Jack.
"She's not a whore if ye raped her, Redd." Jack said. The silence after those words was like they were standing in the middle of a graveyard. Only the wind howled softly as waves splashed against the sides of the two ships which were fastened beside each other.
Tony would've given everything she owned if she could've prevented Jack from saying those words. It was like admitting it to the world. She knew it was the truth but she didn't want it to be. She didn't have guts to look at him anymore so she lowered her head and stared at the deck with unfocused eyes.
Blake stared at Jack and he stared back.
"She's a whore."
"She is not."
"She is."
"She's not!"
"I'm still here ye know, don't talk of me as I weren't here, ye arses." Tony cut them off in anger. Blake was still clutching her to him in a hard grip and Tony had no idea where she found guts to talk at all. She was angry at Blake for calling her a whore and she was angry at Jack because Jack was Jack… Does it make any sense?
Blake snorted, glaring at Jack. "Well, anyway. The only reason why I decided to lower myself onto this little boat –"
"It's a ship!" Jack cut him off with a finger in the air in front of his face. Captain Redd glanced quickly at Captain Sparrow, tightening his grip of ex-Captain Evans's hair so that she whimpered in pain once again.
"- was because I want my Treasure map back and I'm going to get it, with violence or without if you're cooperative!" Blake finished his sentence, glaring from Tony to Jack. "And I know you have it, my sweet Tonya." he whispered to Tony so that everyone heard him nonetheless.
"I'm not gonna give it to ya!" she spat in his face. Jack glanced at Tony. Why was she not telling Redd that she did not have it? That Jack had the map?
"You are going to give it to me, Evans!" Blake roared, grabbing his pistol and pressing it against her chin.
"No." she said through gritted teeth. But Blake did not pull the trigger. His mouth curved into a mean smirk and he lowered the pistol once again. The hand which held the pistol started to travel down her body, searching for the map and Tony gasped in disgust.
"I have to search for it then." he sniggered and let his hand roam over her petite form, over her pockets and then the rest, all the while Tony was breathing heavily and wished that he would stop. But then something clicked in her head and she brought her fist into his face in a very, very, very hard and painful punch! (Too bad they forgot to tie her hands…)
Blake staggered backwards, his hands to his nose as it started to bleed and thick red blood oozed out of his nostrils onto his hands. Tony smirked as she rubbed her knuckles.
"Never ever touch me, Redd." she hissed but gulped once a pistol pointed straight between her eyes. So, Blake didn't mind having a bit blood all over him? He was over the punch this quickly? Oh, bugger…
"Nice hit, Evans. Practised that just for me?" Blake asked sarcastically, wiping the blood away with his sleeve.
"Yeah. Just for your ugly arse, oh sorry, err – face is it? But you see, I can't really see the difference between your face and your arse, both ugly as hell!" Tony replied, rising her fists into the air in front of her. (Just if he would try to strike, savvy?)
"Well, ye're the one who've seen and touched them both, Tonya." Blake answered evilly and Tony's smirk faded as Blake's crew laughed again.
"Alright, Blackwell, didn't I promise ye a small taste of Tony Evans if she wasn't going to give me the map willingly?" Blake asked, looking somewhere over Jack's shoulder. Captain Redd's tall, muscular first mate, who was still holding Jack at gunpoint, stepped forward from behind Captain Sparrow and Tony stared at him her fists still raised.
"YOU!" Tony yelled with her eyes wide.
The pirate grinned sourly, exposing brown teeth. "Glad you remember me, Miss Evans, for I sure as hell remember ye! I even have a little souvenir from ye," he said pointing at his head. "the bump in the back of my head have made sure that ye won't slip me mind, lassie!" Everybody else turned to look at him too. Jack's eyes widened, as did those from Jack's crew who had seen the scene in Tortuga where Tony had accidentally thrown a bottle in his bald head. Tony just stared. It was the pirate from Tortuga! The one she had kicked, punched and insulted in one night! (A/N: Thanks for the idea, smartie-teri! I hadn't really planned on putting him back to the story but I think he suits as Redd's first mate, savvy?:) Hehe! Thanks!) Now Tony understood why Blake knew how she had the map and were aboard Jack's ship!
She guessed that he must've followed her to the dark alley where Jack found out about the map and he told Blake! Argh! Stupid arse! So he was the one who ruined everything and caused Redd to follow her!
Blackwell, as Blake called him, was still pointing his pistol at Jack. "Well, ye never apologised to me for that, so I give ye one last time to apologise, Evans, before I shoot Captain Shit-bucket's head into a thousand pieces. For the sakes of your man, do apologise." he said wickedly. Tony had to suppress her laughter. This pirate had a good memory, she had to admit.
"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint ye, mate, but there's four things I 'ave to point out, One: You're not going to kill anybody, Two: I'm not going to apologise, Three: His name is Captain Sparrow and Four: He's not my man." Tony said calmly.
"But you're me wench, love!" Jack told her with a grin. Tony rolled her eyes. Not the best time to start a stupid fight over a stupid thing so she shrugged and turned back to Blackwell.
"Give my Captain the Treasure map or I'll shoot him." Blackwell said, inching his pistol closer to Jack. Tony looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Didn't I already say that you're not going to shoot anybody?" Tony spat. Blake stepped forward, his sword pointing at Tony.
He glanced a bit over her shoulder and said; "Tie her hands, boy. And make sure you tie her tightly because we're taking her with us until she gives the map." Blake hissed and a boy walked forward, stopped behind Tony with rope in his hands. She spun around and almost fainted.
Looking straight at a sixteen year old boy, apparently from Blake's crew, Tony's mouth fell open. He had short brown and very messy hair and a small moustache. He was not even an inch taller than her and his dark blue eyes searched hers.
"Daniel?!" she whispered in disbelief.
BANG!
A sudden explosion startled everybody. They all looked around wildly, searching for the source of the noise and when their eyes stopped by the Midnight Rose, they could see a large hole in the side of the ship. Smoke started rising from the ship, in a thick cloud and Captain Redd's eyes widened. His ship was on fire! No one was able to utter one word, the attack had really came as an surprise, besides, Blake thought he had everyone from Jack's crew gathered up on the deck!
BANG!
The second explosion made them all snap out of it. Blake mouthed soundlessly, not getting a word out of him as his ship burst into flames in front of him. The crew were waiting for orders from their Captain but he seemed still too confused to understand what had happened. Jack and his crew followed the scene in interest and wondered who the hell was firing the ship when everyone was tied?
"You idiot!" A fierce female voice shouted behind them and everyone turned to look at a beautiful young woman with light brown curly hair walking briskly towards them from below, holding a pistol and a sword in her hands, both pointing at Captain Blake Redd. She was wearing men's clothes; a pair of black breeches and a big bottle green shirt, the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. Jack's mouth dropped open as he saw the unladylike expression on Elizabeth Swann's face.
Blake whipped around, his eyes widening in confusion. "Who are you?" he questioned fiercely, brining his sword from Tony to Elizabeth. His mouth turned into a smirk as he surveyed the beauty up and down. Oh boy did Will want to break his neck for that!
"I am Captain Lizzie Hellfire, the most fearsome female pirate around these waters! How dare you attack Sparrow's ship? He was my prey, you fool!" Elizabeth lied, walking forwards, her hands holding her weapons steadily. "Now leave this ship, or do you want my whole crew, who are hiding below, to sink yours? You do not want to feel my wrath, because no one steps across my course and gets away with it!" Elizabeth exclaimed, shaking the pistol, her chin held high.
Fear flashed in Blake's eyes as he grabbed his sword tightly. He could not handle two crews, if this woman was talking the truth. "I only came to get my Treasure map and my woman, Miss." Blake said to her, gesturing towards Tony. Will couldn't believe his eyes, neither could anyone else. But it was his fiancée who was saving them right now.
"The woman and the map remains here, BUT YOU BETTER LEAVE!" Elizabeth yelled roughly. But no one moved yet. Redd stared at her in disbelief and snorted. He was not afraid of women pirates! "Oh, and you're ship is on heavy fire, mister." she added softly with a smirk that did not suit her and Blake whipped around, seeing flames erupt from below of his ship. Realisation crept upon his features and he gasped for breath.
"GET BACK ABOARD YOU SCOUNDRELS AND STOP THE FIRE! DO NOT LET IT SPREAD AND DESTROY MY SHIP! GET BACK ABOARD!!!" Blake yelled while hurrying towards Tony, he grabbed her upper arm. His crew grabbed their ropes and swung back aboard, not realising they left Jack's crew totally unwatched. Yet some tried to hold them at place. Elizabeth stared after Blake in confusion. Was it this easy to get rid of intruders?
"No! Let go of me! Jack, help me!" Tony yelled as she was being dragged across the deck towards the Midnight Rose by Blake. But Jack did not hear her. He was in the middle of freeing his crew from their bonds, cutting the ties with his sword and soon they started to fight Blake's crew back aboard their own ship with sword and pistol. Tony struggled as she felt Blake wrap his arm around her waist and grab a rope to swing aboard his ship. She knew what would happen if she went aboard that ship again and there was no way she was going to let that happen!
"You're coming with me, Tonya, because you have my map and I want it, plus I don't mind having you in me bed again." Blake whispered into her ear. Tony screamed and struggled against his iron grip. But suddenly Blake tripped on someone, sending Tony free from his grasp. A hand dragged her up from the deck and Tony gazed into blue eyes which she recognised.
"Tony, GO!" the boy who owned the blue eyes yelled to her and pushed her out of the way as Blake pounced towards her to take her with him. But the boy blocked him and trusted a rope into his hand. "There is no time, Captain! There're two crews aboard this ship and they will defeat us if we won't back off!" he yelled to his Captain, giving Tony a wink from the corner of his eye. Tony had fell flat on her bum on the deck and watched as the boy swung back aboard the Midnight Rose with Captain Redd and his crew, the fire only increasing.
"This isn't over, Sparrow!!!" Blake yelled to them. "I will get my Treasure map, whether you're alive of not, Evans!!!" he shouted in anger and grabbed his pistol.
"No! Daniel! Come back, you stupid arse!!!" Tony yelled after him but he did not hear her anymore. The crew of the Midnight Rose was finally fought back aboard their own ship as another set of cannonballs were fired upon it from the Black Pearl, making holes in her sides, making the fire grow. Blake aimed his pistol at Tony who was still lying on the deck and he pulled the trigger…
The Black Pearl was soon catching wind and sailing further away from the enemy ship, all the while the waves splashed at her. They were still in a range of cannons and the battle continued but everyone knew that the Midnight Rose was incapable of following the other ship because of the damage the first two fireballs had caused. The wind grew and caught in the sails of the Black Pearl as it left the enemy behind.
"NOOOO! I WILL GET MY MAP AND MY TREASURE, I'M SURE OF THAT! THIS WASN'T THE LAST TIME YOU SAW CAPTAIN BLAKE REDD AND THE MIDNIGHT ROSE!!!" they heard Blake's voice as it faded away with the wind.
They were left behind to get themselves out of their trouble.
Then it was gone. There was a silence aboard the Black Pearl, a silence of confusion and surprise. That kind silence was not often heard aboard the ship. But then, grins and smiles started to spread across the dirty faces of the pirates', and all eyes turned to Elizabeth Swann, who was wearing Jack's clothes nonetheless.
"What?" she asked innocently breaking the deathly silence, and then, like an explosion, cheers and applauds rose amongst the crew of the Black Pearl as they congratulated their rescuer.
"Elizabeth saved us all!" some yelled in happiness.
"It looks like we don't have any decent women aboard anymore, too bad for ye, eh Ladbroc?!"
"She saved us! Set their bloody ship on fire!"
She blushed and saw Will hurrying towards her with an apologetic expression on his face. As soon as he reached her, he captured her into a tight hug and kissed her forehead.
"I'm so sorry, Elizabeth. I never meant to anger you." Will apologised sincerely. "If I'd just have known what bravery you have, I would never have locked you inside Jack's cabin." he continued and Elizabeth laughed slightly.
"It's ok. I forgive you. Besides, if you hadn't locked me in, I would not be the heroine right now, would I?" she said and laughed. The crew cheered again.
"Lizzie Hellfire?" Jack questioned with one cocked eyebrow once he made it through the crowd of pirates. "Lizzie Hellfire?! Eh, are those me clothes?" Jack asked, eyeing her up and down.
"Yes, I am sorry. I had to do something once I heard the battle out here, and I found these in your cabin! And since Tony is wearing your clothes, why wouldn't I be allowed?" she explained and the pirates just continued to cheer. Jack smirked wickedly.
"Ah, aye, looks like I 'ave two lassies in me pants!" Jack exclaimed with a smirk. Gibbs stepped forward with a grin on his face as well.
"Looks like all women aren't that much of bad luck after all!" he said with a hearty laugh. Will hugged her again in his sweet way to show everyone that she was his!
"Wait a minute," Jack mused, stroking his goatee with his fingers. "How the hell did ye get out of me cabin, woman?" he asked. Elizabeth blushed slightly and gave a nervous laugh.
"Well, I had to break your door down, you see. But I'm sure it's easy to fix, don't worry, Jack!" Elizabeth assured him. Jack stared at her with wide-eyes.
"Arr! Women! Annoying women can't do anything but sabotage!" Jack yelled frustrated and threw his arms in the air. The crew laughed again. "'Ey! What're y'all standing there for, eh? Get back to work, ye scallywags! We have a Treasure to go after, savvy?!" he yelled to the crew and they scurried to their duties. Jack grinned at Elizabeth and Will.
Will winked at Jack and turned to Elizabeth. "Captain Lizzie Hellfire, I think we better go down below and check on your crew." Will said. Jack raised his eyebrows. Elizabeth laughed and hit Will's arm playfully.
"There is no crew down there! It was just bluff, silly!" she said but Will smirked.
"I'm sure they need some kind of orders to get up here and help Jack's crew." Will continued.
"But Will, there is no crew!" Elizabeth said. Suddenly Will scooped her up in his arms and she let out a shriek as he started to walk towards the cabins. "Put me down Will!"
"No, the crew needs you, Captain!" Will said and they disappeared below.
Jack shook his head and then he remembered. Tony! He turned around and looked around him wildly. Where is she? He thought panic-stricken. Redd couldn't have kidnapped her, could he? Oh shit!
"Captain!" Anamaria's voice shouted suddenly. Jack turned around to look at her. She was crouching beside a petite figure which was curled into a ball on the deck, blood was all around it. "Captain, come! Quickly!" she yelled and upon further inspection Jack noticed that the form was Tony Evans. He didn't think twice before hurrying to her and kneeling beside her limp form. "She's barely breathing…" Anamaria said quietly.
"C'mon, Evans. No time for sleeping, love." Jack said softly and poked her. "Wake up now, or ye won't get any rum, matey." he said and turned her around. It wasn't a lovely sight. Her face was unscratched but she had a deep wound in her stomach and blood was still oozing out of it. No doubt it was a gunshot. Her eyes were open and she stared at Jack with pain deep in them.
"Now you all know…" she said softly. Jack wasn't in the mood to start thinking about such things.
"It doesn't matter, love. It's in the past." he said. Tony sighed.
"Please don't pity me." She said harshly.
I can't help it... Jack thought sadly. "Shut up..." he said.
"You did a shitty job protecting me, Sparrow." Tony told him
"I'm sorry, love." Jack answered. Tony shook her head slowly.
"No, I'm sorry…" she whispered, grabbing Jack's hand. "I'm really sorry, Jack…"
"Why are ye sorry?" he asked.
"I'm… sorry that we couldn't continue that – that thing we begun, y'know –" she coughed and closed her eyes, but she was yet conscious. Jack smiled and shook his head.
"You talk as if we wouldn't have a chance for it, Evans. Where are you goin'?" he asked smirking. Tony glared at him.
"I'm dying here, you arse. Little respect please?" she asked and coughed again.
"Ye're not dying so shut up." Jack told her.
"I won't shut up until I get your respect, idiot... I'll start singing just to annoy you." she replied and started singing 'Yo Ho, A Pirate's Death For Me' with closed eyes but then she stopped. "Oh no... He has Daniel. He has Daniel...aboard his bloody ship, Jack." she told him, opening her eyes again. This time a fire was burning deep inside them. Jack stared at her confused.
"Who is Daniel?" he asked her.
"Daniel is… He's my brother…" she whispered before she fainted into his arms.
