Chapter Twelve: More than One Life at Stake Now
"Well, sir, what are we gonna do to 'er?"
Barbossa's first mate, Bósun, was looking at him with curiosity. Juliet had been on the ship for a few days and nothing had been done to her. Except deprive her of normal amounts of food of good quality.
"We should leave her like this for a few days. Before she dies I want her to feel the torture of being without food or comforts."
They laughed slightly to each other. Just then, another pirate came into Barbossa's chamber.
"Cap'n," he said, somewhat out of breath, "our spies reported that Sparrow and Turner 'ave left Port Royal and are comin' after us."
"For the girl?"
He nodded.
"Well, this may force us to change our plan around a little bit. How far are we from Isle de Muerta?"
"About a day," replied the pirate.
"Well, when we get there, we take 'er out an' kill 'er… real slow," said Barbossa with a grin.
In Juliet's room…
Juliet wiped her shaky hand over her mouth after another round of vomiting. Her throat was dry and her stomach was empty and aching. She'd have to get some food soon or she might lose the baby, and her own life. What would Will do if that happened?
Her heart lurched.
Will.
Where was he? And what would he think now that he had gotten her pregnant? Would he stay and help her take care of it… or would he leave her? Juliet felt a wave of tears coming. If he did leave her, where would she go? She supposed she could go with Jack, maybe he'd help her…
Just then, the door opened and a member of the crew stepped in. He grinned maliciously, then threw her a couple pieces of bread and a small jug of water. Then, he left, slamming the door behind him.
Juliet lunged for the food hungrily, stuffing a bit of the bread in her mouth and taking a grateful swig of water. Well, at least they had fed her something. She always seemed close to tears now that she knew she had now three lives at stake… Will's, her's and the baby's.
On the Pearl…
Jack strode drunkenly into Will's room, a glint in his dark eyes. He opened the door without knocking.
"JACK!" said Will, appalled.
"What, yer not naked or anythin'," he said.
"Yes, but do you have ANY respect for other people's privacy?" It was true, Will was still fully-dressed.
"Well, I guess ye don' want ter know that we 'ave sighted Barbossa's ship an' we're gonna ambush 'em, sorta like what happened when we went after 'im the first time."
"Except we're the ones doing the ambushing," said Will.
"Hey, that's my line!" said Jack.
"But Juliet's captors have been sighted?" asked Will, his features lighting up.
"Yeah, at dawn, we attack from the rear."
Will jumped up and hugged Jack.
"Will? What are ye doin'?!" asked Jack, alarmed, he had never seen Will like this before.
"I'm going to see her tomorrow!" said Will excitedly. "I'm going to rescue her… she's going to live…"
With that, Will walked out of the room, a slight spring in his step, a smile on his face. Jack shook his head.
"'E shouldn't get 'is hopes up…" he muttered to himself. "She could be dead by morning…"
