I don't own any of the characters…but I do wish I owned Orlando Bloom…or Will Turner…or Johnny Depp…or Captain Jack Sparrow…(ha! That'd be a lovely match…me and Jack…ha ha Vanessa!!!)
A/N: Sorry but there are going to be some MAJOR plot spoilers in this story (at least of what happens till the spot I'm going to mention below) so if you haven't seen the movie, then it's probably not the best idea for you to read this story, but if you want to or you have seen the movie…by all means! Read on!!!
Summary: This is like an alternate ending to the movie…a very wonderful movie, I might add…Ok-now, the trio is up at the altar-like chest of evil medallions and Barbossa has just insulted Elizabeth. Will can't take it any more and he shoots off at Barbossa…not a good idea…
Previously on Defeat:
"You bastard!" Will said as he stood up angrily. But his stand didn't have much effect since he wobbled around a bit at first. "She's just lost her father and all you can say to her was that he deserved to die?! You are the most contemptible thing that's ever walked the earth!" Will was beginning to lose it now.
"Ye'd best shut yer mouth young Turner, or ye'll be findin' that yer situation won't be improving,'" Barbossa warned.
Will looked at him defiantly and decided to continue.
"No! I won't stop! You cannot insult a lady such as Elizabeth like that, and besides, it's not as if my situa-"
Will couldn't finish because one of the undead goons came up and gave him blow to the stomach that left him on the ground and gasping for air.
Jack turned around discreetly and faced the windblown Will and said quietly, "Noble deed mate, but stupid…remember what I told you? 'Try not to do anything stupid…' Try something like that again and ye'll be hurtin' for certain." And with that, he gave will a grave look and turned around again.
Elizabeth had seemed not to notice Will's stand against Barbossa, but she did. It touched her, but at the same time, it filled her with a bitterness that only brought home the fact that her father was dead and there was nothing that she could do about it And when Will was hit, she winced slightly as she heard Will's normally steady breathing become wild gasps for air.
"Ye did well shuttin' the whelp up-here, take a coin," Barbossa said jovially to the large man that had just winded poor Will. He tossed a gold coin from the ground to the stocky pirate who just barely caught it.
"Now, if ye'll be so kind…" Barbossa asked Will as he quieted the pirates below that had roared in laughter when Will was struck.
Will looked insubmissively at Barbossa; the cavern was silent-all eyes were either on Will or Barbossa.
Barbossa looked at Will wickedly as he gestured for two rather large thugs to come up and hold Will, They came quickly and when Will struggled, one of the goons happened to punch him again, leaving Will gasping for breath yet again. Jack rolled his eyes inwardly and wished that the whelp would only listen to him…Barbossa shook his head mockingly at Will as he picked up the knife of bone. Then he raised his arms and began his speech.
"Ye've waited ten years for this moment, paid yer blood a thousand times over, gone without the delight of food and drink, or the wondrous pleasures of a woman's soft touch. Well, no more will you have to wait! No more will you have to suffer! Tonight-we will feast!" Then Barbossa paused and looked over at Elizabeth with a leering gaze. Her gaze back at him showed nothing but contempt. Barbossa put on a look of mock sadness and resumed his speech. "Now that we have Bootstrap's child, the curse'll be broken!" (All of the pirates below cheered to this fact) "It's the moment for young Bootstrap to do his job. Turner! Go fetch those gold pieces you so kindly dropped earlier."
Will didn't move an inch.
"Turner! Go get the medallions!"
Will still didn't move a muscle and it grew deadly silent in the cave. Barbossa wasn't' going to stand for this, no-not at all. Barbossa strode over to where the goons were still holding Will. "Take yer bloody hands off'er 'im. How's he gonna get the medallions if ye've got 'im?" The goons complied sheepishly and Will stood up straight, looking up into Barbossa's yellow eyes. "Listen ter me ye littl' piece o' riffraff, yer goin' ter get those medallions or yer lover's going to…mmm… 'bite it.'" Barbossa cocked the gun at Elizabeth. Fear flooded into both Will and Elizabeth's eyes-Will could see it in Elizabeth's and Elizabeth could see it in Will's. Will took a breath and looked back into Barbossa's eyes. Then he started muttering another steady stream of curses towards Barbossa as he began to go recover the medallions. All of a sudden, Barbossa whipped out his hand and grabbed Will's hand-the hand that he had shot earlier…
A/N: So-what did ya think??? I'm not as satisfied as I could be with it, but I still think it's good! (Modest ol' me…) Um…I'm really sorry it took so long. I actually have the next like 7 chapters written already, I'm just out of town right now (and have been for the last 2 weeks) and I haven't had the time to sit down and type out all the chapters, so I'm pretty lucky I got this one up. And I'm really sorry if there's any grammatical or spelling errors. I've tried to check them, but it happens to be 11:56 P.M. right now and my eyes are giving way…
Next up on Defeat: The Barbossa takes a knife to Will….
And my special thanks to everyone who has reviewed!!!!! I love you all!!!! Keep reviewing, PLEASE!!!!
*Gamine-Yeah-I know that my pacing is off….but I'm usually writing this story in the wee hours of the morning and the late hours of the night (which are the only 2 times in which I actually have time to write) so my timing is bund to be off…but I'm working on it so that it's not so messed up and events don't repeat themselves over and over and over again. Thanks for the complement; I'm happy you think it's well written. I've tried throughout all the stories I've written to have different styles to fit the readers' needs and I'll try to add more action….although, as I said…my next few chapters are already written, I'll go over and revise them a bit…
Cheers!
Elf Girl aka Tati Bloom
PS: Any suggestions???? Email me at TatiBloom@att.net
PPS: I LOVE ORLANDO BLOOM!!!!!!!!
*Jehan's Muse-Ok then…No, I didn't kill Will. Have fun writing that fic, I'll be happy to read it…but then again Jehan's Muse, don't be so sure about all the plotlines……And I agree that Viggo is really cute (can't wait to see him in Hidalgo), but Orlando, I'm sorry to say (for you) didn't attempt to impose, he did. He was by far the hottest man in that movie, followed by Billy Boyd and then your beloved Viggo. Ok-enough animosity…I'll try to be friendlier…I just had to state that Orlando (in my opinion) is more attractive. But hey, I read First Encounters and I thought it was good. Keep writing…
*Marching Angel-Hey! Thanks for liking it! I'm having a ton of fun writing it-even if I DO have to stay up till Valar-knows-when (haha LOTR-Valar) writing it! Thanx!!!!
*Evil-Gwen-Sorry about the little chapters….I'll try to make them longer as I go on….but as you see, Gamine thinks they're too long…so, I'll try to accommodate to both of your needs!!!
*The-Serious-Padfoot-Hey! Yeah-I LOVE Orlando Bloom!!! And there's no doubt about it! Ok-I know that Orli's hot, but come on, he's gotta go through at least some trials and tribulations…Your friend Eve sounds nice, but did she stand up and whistle when Orlando came on? Did she have people behind her say, "Is that Tati? Hey Tati! Is that you?" right after she whistled? Did she recite every line? Did she stay for the little film at the end? Did she have people she didn't even know come up to her at the end of the movie and start quizzing her on the young and talented Orlando Bloom? Didn't think so…But that's what I did (and what happened-just ask anyone who went to see it with me one of the 7 times that I've gone to see it already)…and the guys who came up to me at the end…that's a hilarious, but long story…if ya wanna hear, email me.
PLEASE REVIEW!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
