Oh guys a small history lesson before we begin this Chapter. This
information is going to be vital to the rest of the story... As everyone
knows the movie Pirates of the Caribbean ended with the pirates surrendered
to the redcoats. Well they never said what happened to them so I am making
up my own little story about them... Many years ago the Commodore signed a
treaty with the pirates. This treaty happened after Jack escaped the noose
for the third time and fell into the harbor and swam to the Black Pearl.
The commodore knowing there was no possible way that he himself could
capture Jack Sparrow he made a deal with the pirates. He would let them go
free if they promised to hunt Jack Sparrow down and return him to Port
Royale. They would then be free to do as they wished as soon as Jack had
been hung. The commodore even commissioned another ship called the
Predator. This ship was made just like the Interceptor only this had a
stronger haul. The pirates would have complete command of the Predator but
they would capture Jack Sparrow and destroy the Black Pearl and all on
board. The pirates have been looting and killing for eighteen years waiting
for word of the Black Pearl to surface now word has come in that the Black
Pearl is hunting the famous Great White Pearl.
Now back with Zac and Pearl on the Black Pearl...
Last Time
Closer, closer...closer.
Now
"Zac..."
"Shh...don't say it."
Zac closed the distance between the two of us and he kissed me with all the passion he held. He wanted to let me know how he felt. The words wouldn't come so he used his actions instead. I returned the kiss and slowly wrapped my arms around his neck. I wasn't shy, I wanted this too, I would never stop kissing him, and I would live the life of a commoner and never want more as long as I had Zac kissing me. He drew me against him and I melted against him at once.
We broke only when we needed oxygen. As he pulled away he tilted my chin up to look him in the eyes. He smiled a light airy smile and I gave one of my own, he began to laugh and I joined. His laugh was wonderful and full of life and love. I could not help myself when I reach to his face to draw him back to me and kiss him again. He came willingly and we kissed again lightly this time and I broke the kiss. I heard the bell ringing on the main deck. Something was wrong. I turned to leave but Zac grabbed my wrist and twirled me back to face him. I crashed against his chest and looked up. He crushed his lips against mine and pushed me back. I turned and flew from the cabin.
I made my way up the stairs and I heard the sounds of cannons. I emerged from below to an unknown ship next to our own. I made for the helm at a dead run. Something wasn't right. They caught us! We're the fastest ship in the Caribbean! This isn't possible!
"This isn't possible!"
"Not probable P!"
"Captain how did they catch us and in the dead of night sir."
"Not entirely sure exactly. We have been on the lookout for a little over two hours. Something just didn't feel right. They came up on us without us even seeing'em!"
I heard the whistling and barely yelled for everyone to take cover when the cannon ball flew by. I dove to the deck and rolled. I have been thought never to loose footing on a ship. I had to stay moving though. Much of the crew was returning fire. My father had left his post and had disappeared. I knew not to worry though he would do this in many battles but he would always reappear within minutes with a plan.
I ran to the railing of the boat as the grapples flew to our ship. I cut as many lines as I could and some of them already had men on them attempting to board our ship. Gunshots erupted all around me and I ducked. I pulled out my pistol and aimed at the closest pirates. That man fell as soon as the sound retorted. I pulled my sword again and dove into the crowd of pirates. Mr. Gibbs was already there fighting. I jumped into the throng of dirty, smelly bodies. As I killed one man after another I noticed that Zac had joined the fight. He was holding his own but these pirates were not fighting fair.
Zac would be dead if something was not done. I spun and pulled my blade up as I spun killing three of their men in one swipe. I ran toward Zac pulling my dagger out on the way. I broke a fight up by slitting a mans throat as I ran by. I would never make it in time going like this. I had to move faster. The railing was the fastest way but it was the most unsafe. I leapt onto the railing and took off. So many bullets were being fired hitting all around me I was amazed when I rolled over a hunched mans back and landed with my back to Zac's. He turned to strike and I deflected his blade.
"Are you that stupid! You could have been killed!"
"I never felt so alive though!"
I laughed and turned away. I had to fight, we all did. My father was still nowhere to be seen. I figured he had to be somewhere in the mist of all the fighting. I crossed my blade three times then spun it in my hand so that the blade was now acting as a small shield to my arm. My dagger was still in my left hand and it was poised ready to strike. I brought my right arm up just in time to stop a sword from coming down on my shoulder. I flung my left arm out and stabbed the man just below his ribcage hitting his lower right lung. Zac turned and slit the man's back clean open. The man fell and I yanked the dagger clean out of his side. I threw my right arm forward at my next opponent and flung my sword back into a fighting position. The man stumbled and I struck. The rest of their crew was jumping over board and crawling back to their ship. The crew below kept firing the cannons at the enemy ship. We were pulling away and leaving when I finally realized my father had disappeared. I turned back to the other ship when I heard the blood-curdling scream of my father screaming my name.
"P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I ran toward the back of the ship and Zac was close on my heels the whole time. Our ship came about and fired with a new strength. Zac grabbed me close while we entered a fierce firefight with the enemy ship. We blew so many holes in the ship we were amazed to see it still afloat.
Anna Maria hollered at me to go for it. Zac had not let go of me but I shoved him off and ran for the longest line on the ship. I grabbed it and ran to the opposite side of the ship. I heard my father screaming no but I didn't care I would not loose him to pirates. I ran for the edge and leapt at the last moment. I sailed over the sea and when the line snapped under my pressure I flung my feet upward and spun before pulling my left leg up and pointing my right foot to the water.
I fell among the blue sea and took a breath right before I hit the water. Within seconds I was gliding like a fish under the water. It got dark rather fast and I knew I was under the enemy ship. I surfaced on the other side and grabbed the haul ladder and climbed quietly. As I made it to the deck their whole crew was climbing back on board and looking in the water on the other side of the ship for me. I ran for the lower decks and their powder. I set up the powder kegs and then lit a fuse. I made my way to the captain's quarters. Well there was no reason not to profit from this battle. I stole several maps and was about to leave when I saw a large pardon on the desk. I snatched it too and ran.
I ran to the upper deck. My father was against the edge looking for me too. There was a small gap in front of him where a cannon ball had hit. No one stood behind him though. I ran straight for him and knocked him off the ship along with myself. We dove into the water and bullets erupted in the water. I heard a distant thunder and knew that the Black Pearl was defending us. We swam and surfaced against the Pearl. We took a deep breath and went under again. We swam for the other side.
We were helped back on board and were already on our way as soon as we started to climb the haul ladder to our ship. Once on deck I started to laugh and could not stop. Gibbs smiled so big I thought his face would break. Zac stared in amazement, Anna Maria Barked out a laugh then got back to steering. Cotton's parrot flew over to me and pecked my ear a few times before returning to his owner. My father helped me up and we went below to dry off and help where needed. I looked back and saw Zac leaning against the railing starring at me very thoughtfully.
Later That Day
"What?"
"A pardon of some sort. But why would pirates have a pardon?"
My father took it and read it to himself. His face broke into a smile and then he chuckled softly to himself.
"Very interesting."
"What is father?"
"Ah just that was my old mutanizing crew. The commodore set them free and gave them a ship as long as they came after me. Seems the Commodore wants to hang me again. He wants to hang me enough that he would free a whole crew of pirates just to catch me."
"Sounds like the Commodore."
I spun to find Zac leaning against the doorframe.
"He has always had a thing against my father but I never knew what until you told me. Now the Pirates and the Predator makes sense to me."
"Pirates? Predator? Slow down Zac I'm lost what's the Predator?"
"Their ship. The Commodore commissioned them a ship and let them go. No one knew why though. The ship was completed six years ago in Port Royale."
"Where does it make berth?"
"Not sure exactly. It's never been back."
"Not only do we have to worry about those who hunt the treasure but now some vengeful pirates who want to get back at you father!"
"I'm not your father!"
"Oh just stop Zac knows you are my father."
"Oh in that case...I can threaten the way I want...don't ya be layin' a hand on her or else you'll be dealin' with me! Savvy?"
"Yes sir, but just so you know I am attracted to her and I will marry her."
"And who says so?"
"I do."
"But Pearl you don't know men. He could be leading you on."
"Honestly father. He's an honorable man. You used to fantasize about Will and Elizabeth having a son so that I could marry him."
"Yes but I thought I would have to force you. Plus his parents might not approve."
"What my parents think does not matter. If I cannot have Pearl I will have no one. She will be my wife and I her husband."
"I suppose you plan on keeping her in Port Royale too."
Ok guys this chapter is done. I must say I love this chapter too. It's my baby. Tell me what you think cause I love to hear from you guys. Oh yeah and since NYChick loved my last fight scene I thought I would dedicate this chapter to you. Thanks for all the reviews and I hope you guys love this chapter as much as I do. Thanks- Iiya-yasha
