Chapter 21
"Decisions, Decisions"

By midday I was on The Gauntlet again. I watched Jack sail away with The Pearl. I knew in my mind this was for the best. My mind was set in the morning, what I was going to do. I stood at the helm of The Gauntlet, watching my crewmembers scurry about their work. It felt good to be back on my ship. I steered The Gauntlet with ease, letting a small sigh escape my lips.

"Ship AHO" I heard Lefty call from the crows nest.

"Great just want I need."

"It's the Interceptor!!" Lefty yelled.

"Even better." I said sarcastically.

"Lower the anchor!" I yelled

"Are ye sure that's wise?" Gibbs asked, looking over at me.

I nodded. "Just do it!"

"Lower Anchor Aye captain!!" the men shouted in unison, I watched them scurry at my command.

I let out a slow breath as the Interceptor approached us. I walked over to the rail on the starboard side.

"Well, Well, Commodore so good to see ye!" I shouted to cover the balance between us all.

"At least we've found you, we won't leave empty handed."

"Don't be so sure of yerself, Commodore. It will only get ye into trouble."

I heard my men laugh, but the commodore hadn't been let into the inside joke.

"Umm, Commodore." I heard Lt. Gillette say frantically as he walked toward the Commodore

"I'm busy, Gillette, in a minute. Ravenica! Were not leaving here until you have been introduced to our brig."

"That won't be happening today Commodore!"

"And why would that be?"

I raised a brow with an evil grin.

"Commodore!!" Gillette shouted

"Ye better listen to yer boy." I said.

The commodore rolled his eyes and looked over to Gillette "WHAT??" he yelled

"It's The Black Pearl!" Gillette yelled, pointing to the opposite side of his ship where Jack had docked.

"What?" The Commodore asked, looking from The Pearl to The Gauntlet.

"As I was saying Commodore, I'm not going anywhere!"

"What is this? Are you two working together?" The commodore asked, giving a look of disgust.

"Aye, as it seems!" I grinned. "Now as I look at it, Commodore, ye have two choices."

"And what would that be?" he questioned

I grinned evilly, resting my foot on an old crate and standing up straight. "Ye can either get the hell out of here now, or... Ye can have that pretty ship taken over by the two of us. Ye and yer men will then be introduced to our brigs!"

The commodore looked around frantically, it finally setting in that the two of us where working together.

"I'm not giving in with out a fight. So if it's a fight your looking for, your on!" The Commodore yelled

"Load the cannons." I whispered to Gibbs who nodded and went to alert the men.

"What's it going to be Commodore?" I yelled.

"Fire the cannons!!!!" I heard The Commodore yell

"Fire them bitches up!" I yelled to my crew.

All hell broke loose, I watched men try to make it to my ship via rope but fail and land in the water. The Intercept was getting bombarded from both sides. Both of our cannons were equally strong. Somehow they had finally managed to get a plank up to come onto the deck of the Gauntlet, I gave an evil grin, my green eyes glowing. I pulled my sword and watched the men storm the deck. The Pearl continued to bombard the Interceptor with cannons and gunfire. I watched the crew scurry to find anything of value. I came eye to eye with the Commodore. He stood before me with a smile. I grinned evilly and went to stab him. He quickly blocked and pushed my sword away.

"Yer a foolish man Commodore." I told him

"I'm not so foolish I know what I'm doing."

"Then why are ye allowing Jack Sparrow to steal from yer ship?" I questioned.

The Commodore quickly looked behind him.

"Crap!" he yelled

"Oh, no need for properness around here Commodore go ahead, say it.. Go OHH SHIT!" I grinned

The commodore's eyes laid back on me.

"Yer nothing but a smart assed, sleazy pirate."

"That maybe so, but I just outsmarted ye, didn't I? How does it feel to loose to a woman??" I questioned with a wicked evil grin.

"I haven't lost yet."

"Only in time. Ye don't have the resources to go against 2 pirate ships, let alone one."

The Commodore went to cut a chunk out of my leg but I blocked it, kicking his sword from his hand. The evil grin continued to shower my face. I held my sword to his throat; he backed up to the rail.

"Call yer men off, NOW!" I demanded.

"Never, go ahead kill me."

"Killing ye, would be to easy. Go on now, call off yer men." I said, poking his neck with the tip of my sword.

"Fine, you wench. You win this time. Men DROP YOUR WEPONS!" The commodore yelled. One by one confused soldiers dropped their swords and guns.

"Commodore what are you doing?" Gillette questioned.

"The smart thing," The Commodore said.

"Gibbs!"

"Aye, captain?!" Gibbs questioned

"Show half of the soldiers the brig on The Pearl, the rest on The Gauntlet. And our dear Commodore shall have a cell of his own. Take him below. DO IT NOW, mangy dogs!" I yelled.

I watched the crew scurry about, dividing passengers up. Gibbs and Lefty took The Commodore below. I watched Jack sway his way across the plank from The Pearl to The Interceptor; he stopped to look over various things before finally making his way to the Gauntlet.

"Glad to see ye could finally make yer way over here." I commented as Jack walked towards me.

"Sorry, I wanted to be.. Shall we say, fashionably late." He grinned.

"What is the plan?" he questioned.

"Well, Half the men on The Pearl, half on here. Does that sound alright?"

"Aye, sounds right."

"What do ye say we go play with one Commodore Norrington?" I asked with a grin

"Ye mean taunt him?" Jack asked

I nodded. "Aye, what else would I mean?"

"Well,"

"Eww, why would I think of him like that?"

"Cause yer crazy." Jack smiled, leaning closer to me and then backing off.

I rolled my eyes; I walked down to the brig. The Commodore stood in one cell to my left. The rest of his men on my right.

I grinned slightly.

"Well, Commodore Norrington. So glad ye could be here for our adventure!" Jack grinned.

A disgusted look ran over the Commodore's face.

"Tell me, Luv. What should we do with the fair Commodore?" Jack asked, draping his arm across my shoulder.

"I'm not sure yet. Give me a day or so, I'm so sure I can think of something creative."

"You will get what's coming to you, the governor will send more men to find me!" The Commodore spat.

"Oh, to bad ye can't warn them we are working together Commodore.. Shame, shame." Jack grinned.

I laughed slightly, running my tongue over my lower lip in thought.

"Have a good evening, men. I'll see ye all in the morning. Right now I have to get to my men and see what kind of valuables they have come up with."

Jack grinned, his hands coming up and moving rapidly before his arms rested at his side again. A slow smile spread across my lips.

"In the words of Sparrow, have a good night."

"You are a cold, heartless wench. You will get what's coming to you no doubt."

I stood close to the bars, letting out a deep sigh. "Ye forget one thing, Commodore. Yer locked in my brig on my ship. Say anything else like that? I'll beat the shit out of ye! Then send ye to swim with the sharks. Got it?" I asked I didn't give him time to answer I made my way back onto deck, deciding what to do with our new guests.

"So what do ye think of this new arrangement?" Jack asked, he leaned against the rail, his arms folded around his chest.

"It's a good one. Equal share partners. No commodore anything. We are both equally captains, we share things 50/50 what's there not to like?" I asked

"Aye is true."

I smiled. "We have a very good agreement, I wouldn't change it for the world. Now what do ye say we go dig through some valuables?"

We rummaged through everything on the ship. They had many useful things, such as extra weapons and extra shots. I sat on the rail across from the Commodore's cabin.

"Ye ready??" Jack asked, yelling through the door.

"Aye, ready as can be." I waited in anticipation; Jack made me sit out here, alone for what seemed like forever saying he had a surprise for me. The door opened slowly;

Jack stepped outside of the cabin. He wore Commodore Norrington's uniform, along with his shoes and wig. I started to laugh; it was the funniest thing I think I had ever seen. I continued to laugh, as he stood up straight and proud putting his hands on his hips.

"I am Commodore Norrington! I will send every pirate to their death!" Jack mocked, almost to well. His English was well.. Proper.

I laughed harder, forgetting I was sitting on a rail, I lost my balance and fell over onto the hard deck. Jack ran down I looked up at him closing and opening my eyes a few times. One look at him and I started laughing again.

"Jack Sparrow, I do believe, yer the one who is crazy! Well, more than crazy. Yer insane!" I yelled with a laugh.

"That's what makes us such a good team, luv!" he grinned. Jack pulled me into a hug; I was having a very hard time controlling my laughter. I shook my head; pulling away I tried to calm myself. Finally I was able to. I thought about what to do with our uninvited guests. I figured we would talk about it later. Now was the time for some fun.
