I don't own any of these characters…but I Do wish I owned Orlando Bloom…or Will Turner…or Johnny Depp…or Captain Jack Sparrow…(haha! Van-that'd be a lovely match, that…me and Jack…hehehehe…imagine the types of fun we'd have…not in a nasty sort of way…but, you know me…no one would ever believe me and Jack Sparrow…hehehehe!)
A/N: This is an alternate ending to the movie-I'm sure that if you read the preceding chapters, you'll know what's been going on and whatnot. Savvy? *-*
A/N #2: Ok-yeah-sorry it took such a freaking long time to get this up-been in California. Um…I really hope that you like this chapter-sorry, I think it might be a short one…but it's longer than my last one…pretty sure of that… (but keep reading…I'll post more chapters now that I'm back.)
Summary: This is like an alternate ending to the movie…I'm at the spot where well…read the "previously" thing….
Previously on Defeat:
All of a sudden, Barbossa reached out and grabbed Will's hand-the hand that he had shot earlier…
Will couldn't bare the pain in silence anymore and he let out a cry as even more pain exploded in his hand-as did more blood. The pirates all around laughed at Will, humiliating him even more. Then Barbossa spoke to him. "Ye think yer so tough lad…yer not. So don't go wastin' our time-yer not doin' yerself any good. Are ye?" and with that, Barbossa squeezed Will's hand even harder. "Now go get 'em!"
Will didn't cry out when Barbossa clutched his hand tighter still, but he winced, which was enough to make the other pirates to laugh at once again. Finally, he submitted and went to retrieve the medallions.
He found the two medallions at the bottom of the most massive mound of treasure, almost completely in the water. He saw his, still one its chain, and he saw Jack's. Will found that Jack's blood had washed off of the medallion he swiped. He sighed softly, Jack most likely wasn't particularly happy with him at the moment, and having to cut himself again (however minor the cut may be), wouldn't make his mood any better. Once he'd picked the two up, h trudged through mounds of gold and silver back to the chest where Barbossa awaited.
"Ahhh-lad, yer back; almost thought yer got lost," Barbossa exclaimed cheerfully, almost laughing at his own joke. His mood had lightened again. After all, he was having a horrible curse removed from him in a few moments,
Will looked over towards Elizabeth and Jack. Elizabeth still wasn't facing him, though Jack was looking at him with a look of mingled defeat, remorse, and just a tad of the ever-glowing fire inside of him. Will looked at his hand holding the medallions and Barbossa could see that Jack's blood had washed off. He nodded to the young man and Will said, "Jack," almost in a whisper, to his friend as he motioned his head towards where he was standing.
Jack slowly got up, under the ever-watchful eyes of the pirates below and staggered over to Will and Barbossa.
Will leaned his head towards Jack's ear. "It washed off," he said quietly, almost inaudibly, but Jack heard it.
Jack looked down at Will's open palm. His medallion was clean. He looked at Will again and nodded, then turned around.
Will understood what he was doing, and he took the knife from Barbossa's hands; Barbossa didn't object. Then Will gingerly put the knife to Jack's already healing wound and pressed gingerly. Slowly, a stream of blood flowed out of the cut and Will put the coin to the source of the red river and dropped it in the chest. There was a great cheers as he did this, but he ignored it. Then, he took the knife to his own hand, but before he had a chance to break the skin, Barbossa snatched the dagger from him.
"I'll be doin' the honors if ye please," Barbossa said to Will, smiling his nasty grin.
Will didn't say a word or show a thread of emotion.
"This is it gentlemen-the moment that ye've been waitin' for fer ten years…" His speech went on for a minute or two longer and then Barbossa raised the bone knife high in the air. Then he grabbed Will's non-injured hand (his left) tightly…and after that, it went fast.
The dagger came down and Barbossa opened Will's hand, then he dragged the dagger through the whole of Will's palm before stopping. Will didn't wince at all, nor did he make a sound; he didn't want to have the evil pirates to have any more satisfaction than they already had. After that, Barbossa pressed the medallion into Will's palm, hard, making blood spurt onto the other pieces of gold in the chest.
In one swift movement, Barbossa picked up the blood soaked medallion and dropped it into the chest. It spun for what seemed like an eternity before it hit the others with a heavy thud.
Silence filled the cavern for minutes and everyone stood completely still.
Then, as he did before, Barbossa pulled out his pistol and shot one of the more lowly pirates. Blood started to leak from the wound and pretty soon, it engulfed his shirt and he fell over, dead.
Elizabeth looked away, not wanting to see such cruelty.
Jack and Will just stood and watched, as did the other pirates. The two both disguised their horror as they saw the man fall into an eternal slumber.
Barbossa was the one to finally break the silence. "Now…we feast!"
A/N: So!!!! What did y'all think??? Sorry it took a while to post this one…but it's longer than the last one…so that should be good…Please review!!! I love it when people review, but try not to send any flames or things like that…those are serious downers…but hey…I know none of you would do that…right??? *-* I uh…want to thank all of the reviewers out there for your reviews. I loved them all… And I've changed my settings so I'll now be accepting anonymous reviewers, but really, I'd liked signed reviews just cuz I like knowing what you guys like and I also like reading your stories too…I review them too (but unfortunately I haven't been able to read any for a little while, but I'm working on it…) so-if this helps me get some more reviews…a big thanks to Kayleigh-talitha. Ok-now onto the new thank you's (right after my goodbyes).
Cheers!
Tati Bloom aka Elf Girl
PS: I love Orlando Bloom
PPS: I have always signed my emails (just ask anyone I know-like Vanessa, who is also a member of ff.net and they'll tell you it's true) with these 3 lines: "Cheers / Tati Bloom / PS: I love Orlando Bloom" (or some other variation of I love Orlando Bloom) so if that offends some of you or something…sorry, but that's how I do it…
And A VERY, VERY Special Thanks To:
*The Serious Padfoot- Hey! Thanks, I'm really glad you thought it was a nice chapter. And yes, there is a video at the end, but I warn you, it's very short-less than 10 seconds… And I hope I didn't offend you or your friend Eve about my Orlando fanaticism-it's just me and how I do things… *-* Forgive me if I did… Ok-and I was just wondering…do you like Harry Potter…or more precisely, Sirius Black?? Is that where you got your pen name? Just wonderin' cuz I like Sirius too. *-*
*Kari 8 – Sorry about the cliff-hangers…I hate it when authors do that too…but I always figure it's a good time to stop then, or else I probably would never stop…. *-*
*Sunny 18 – Thanks for loving my story!!! I was having a crap day that day and your review brightened it up a bit!!! *-* Sorry about the cliff hangers…I can't help it…as I said before…I'd probably just keep going…and going…and… *-* I'll try to post more often, but as I have play practice and now I'm going to volunteer at a hospital (for my college um…like qualifications or something…) I won't have as much time as I used to, but I'm still writing the chapters in a notebook first, so if I have access to a computer anywhere, I'll type the chapters up and get them posted ASAP. Ok? And to answer your question…well…I can't…I mean, I know what'll happen, but if I answered it…where would be the fun I reading it? Savvy? But I will answer this…there is a bit a angst on the road ahead. *-* I too, hate how Elizabeth is being idiotic towards Will…things might change though…*-* And thanks for all your complements! I loved them!!! *-* No wonder your pen name's Sunny….lol!!!
*Spirit 3 – I'll update asap when I can (read my reply to Sunny 18) Thanks sooooo much for liking it!!! And thanks for telling me that I'm doing good with the pirate talk-I've been having such a hard time with that-I've had to like replay the movie over in my head to imagine what everyone sounds like and their personalities and everything…And I'll be sure to spell it "aye"-but just wondering…did I spell it any other way or was it other people? Cuz I have seen it in other stories spelled differently than "aye" and it bugs me too… *-* Thanks!
*Kayleigh-talitha – Hello…Ok…I really don't know how to reply to your message. Because I actually have mixed feelings about it…First, I'll start with the bad…I did NOT specifically say that I was the biggest Orlando Bloom fan ever. Ok-yes, I do love him, but not in the true love sort of way-it's an adoration type of thing…like you have for well…I think that he is one of the greatest up and coming actors (actually I think he is the greatest…*-* ) and I totally and wholly adore him. I don't mean to offend anyone when I'm posting my chapters. Seriously. I think he's really cute too…but I'm not an idiot and I know that it isn't justified to love someone (in THAT true love kind of way) just because they're cute. I look up to Mr. Bloom because I myself am acting and I only hope that I can reach his level someday. But until then, I'll adore him and "love him" as I please. And forgive me, but this is part of my personality…I rarely back down from a challenge whenever one's appointed to me. I'm not sure if The Serious Padfoot was really challenging me, but I took it up, and I only said what I did. Ok? I haven't even written to Orlando, let alone bugged him and stalked him or made his life at all hell. For all I know-he doesn't know I exist. I'm NOT going to turn into a stalker and if anyone thinks so, I'm a bit offended. I know what stalkers are like (a close family friend was stalked once) and I think that they are some of the most appalling people to walk the earth. I hope you understand where I'm coming from and I certainly DON'T think that I'm better than anyone else-Orlando fans or not-that is total crap. Ok-onto the better stuff! *-* Thank you SO much for liking it! Thanks for complementing it so beautifully (and giving me 10 points-yay! *-*) And thanks for supporting (or maybe it's not supporting) my cliff hangers-you're like the first one…If you read the A/N before, you'll know I took your advice and I'm now accepting anonymous reviews. I really hope that I'm as good as you say I am. And I didn't mean to "rail" on you at all…cuz if it seemed like I was railing on you, it's not true, it's just how I am (yes…I know I'm a bit stubborn and whatnot…). But seriously and truly, I didn't mean for any of the stuff up there to be like a put down or a railing or anything displeasing to you. Ok Kayleigh-talitha -thanks for all the complements!
AND THANKS TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAS REVIEWED!!! PLEASE KEEP REVIEWING! And feel free to send any suggestions or reviews (if you don't want to submit them here) or if you just want to talk, please email me at:
