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… *-* Ha….me and Jack Sparrow…I can just imagine the looks I'd get from all my friends…and it'd be worth every second….
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: This is the chapter you wanted…and I'm giving it to you…Savvy?
A/N #3: Ok…sorry that this chapter is so short…. but school is STILL a fucking killer (sorry for the language…) ever since the 1st day! So…I hope you like it…sorry it took so long too….
A/N #4: If you want the chapters to be posted more often than once a month, then REVIEW!!! It seriously helps me, and my moral, so that I can write! If everyone who reads this reviews, the chapters would be posted so much more often because I'd know how high of a demand I'm in…. (But to those WONDERFUL people who've already reviewed…. I LOVE YOU!!!) But yeah, even if it's only a sentence or two long (which I hope it'd be longer…honestly…) just take a minute to review…. it's not going to do you any harm not to, so why not do it? *-* Savvy?
Summary: This is like an alternate ending to the movie…I'm at the spot where…well…read the "previously" thing….
Previously on Defeat:
Will looked up again and looked at his stockings. It seemed plausible enough…but he had worked hard to get those stockings…and keep them nice. Though, he supposed, it didn't matter now-he was probably going to die anyways. Jack hadn't steered him wrong yet…so he took off his shoe and one of his stockings. Then, he put his shoe back on and wrapped it around his hand the best he could; which was a "little" worse than he thought he could do… He frowned at his hand and sighed. His life was spiraling downwards into wretched nothingness…yet he hadn't the slightest clue of what was to come next. He took a deep breath and sighed. Well….he had to give Jack credit for what he did for him, it was a lot for…what?…Shit? Being stuck and held captive on his own ship? "God Jack," Will said dejectedly, "I'm so sorry…but thanks."
Jack looked up, smiled gently, and nodded.
Meanwhile, while Jack and Will were solving problems of sorts aboard the Black Pearl, Elizabeth had her own problems to deal with.
Barbossa was incredibly furious. He still couldn't ram it into his head that Elizabeth had cheated him. That little whore…he knew he could have raped her then and there, but this, this would be much sweeter than a couple seconds of passion. He had one of his yellow-nailed hands clutching one of her slender arms tightly as he walked. Elizabeth was stumbling after him, trying not to bump into anything, for it seemed that Barbossa would snake quickly around every single table or stool or chair, and hardly give Elizabeth any time to dodge it at all. A couple of times, she would lose her footing and stumble lamely into one of the chairs or whatnot, evoking more anger within Barbossa, thought he only showed it by tightening his already steadily contracting grip on her arm, and going faster.
When they got to the stairs, Barbossa took the steps here at a time, making Elizabeth struggle to keep up with him once again. One time, about half way up the staircase, her shoe caught on a loose bit of wood, which was probably made loose during the battle, which almost made her trip and drag Barbossa down with her, which would have ended in a catastrophe. But luckily, Barbossa held his grip and pulled her up before she even fell.
"Lower a boat! The lady an' I 'ave a littl' pleasure ride ter go on," Barbossa shouted to his crew. The crew had been having a grand old time looting and searching and rifling through the ship, but now they were at attention, lowering one of the Dauntless' small boats into the water near the ladder.
The dark seawater was lapping the sides of the both the ship and the little boast, and the salty sea air was hitting Elizabeth's nose pleasantly. She always liked the sea and coming back to the fresh smell of it after being in the luxurious, yet awfully stuffy Dauntless, was nice for her.
It was also nice for Barbossa, who was still making little inward comments about the air and sea spray still.
Finally, Elizabeth, Barbossa, and one very seedy looking crewmember, climbed down the ladder and into the little boat. It swooshed and swayed a bit as they got in and even Barbossa lost a little bit of his balance as he boarded the boat.
When they got on their way, the seedy looking man was stuck with the oars and rowing out to the Pearl. The man wasn't too bad at rowing out, for being so thin and seedy-looking and all…
Soon, as they turned into the next cove, the Black Pearl came into sight. The beautiful ship looked amazingly ominous with the moon casting her brilliance onto the ship and it's battle –scarred sails. They could hear vague laughing and singing going on – even from where they were, so Elizabeth decided that the crew had all gotten drunk on rum or something of the like. "Hmm…Jack must be awfully jealous of them….I wonder if he's resorted to begging and hanging on the bars of his cell yet…" Elizabeth tried to amuse herself with such thoughts to keep her mind off of the impending hell that she knew she would now have to go through.
Though however hard she tried, Elizabeth could not take her mind off of either Will or Jack, She felt increasingly horrible about the whole ordeal. It had partly been her fault, but still, Will was also to blame for this… Her thoughts shifted to Will once more. She had known him since she was eight, and if she knew right, which she guessed she was; Will would be feeling absolutely terrible right now. He was always so kind and sensitive, there could be no way that he couldn't be feeling like shit right this moment.
Elizabeth remembered the one time that Will had broken one of her vases in her room… Will was absolutely horrified, he couldn't say sorry enough and when her father came to ask what happened, she lied and told her father she did it. But Will, good and honest Will, couldn't accept that… No, he stood forward and told Governor Swann he broke the vase and that he'd pay every shilling he could to replace it. Governor Swann of course, wasn't too happy about any of it, but he said, "It was a mistake boy, was it not?" And Will replied with a nod, he hadn't meant to do it, it was just that he and Elizabeth were playing knights and it had gotten out of hand. "All right, young Turner, you do not have to pay this time, for I value honesty and it was brave to face the consequences, but I assure you if there is a next time, which there should not be, then you will be paying for it. Understood?" Will nodded, but really, he would scrap and save for the next six months to buy a new vase for Elizabeth. He finally gave it to her, in the presence of her father as well, and he earned Governor Swann's appreciation once again, showing he worked hard and kept his word.
Well, now would probably be no exception… Elizabeth figured that both Will and jack were plotting some elaborate escape attempt… Yes, barely a few hours and they would be planning the little routes and ways of escaping. She supposed that was good, and as she thought that last thought, the boat was alongside the Black Pearl, with it's mast and sails casting looming shadows on them all. The singing and whatnot grew louder as they climbed up aboard the Pearl.
There were men everywhere, drinking, passed out, drunk, singing, pleasuring themselves, or vomiting over the side of the boat. Elizabeth, Barbossa, and the seedy man were careful to avoid that rather nasty substance coming down onto their heads. In fact, one man was so incredibly drunk that he stumbled around and finally toppled off, over the railing, into the ocean. It was quite some time before he completed his drunken stumble up the ladder, back onto the Pearl. When he finally got on, he stumbled a bit more, and then went for some more rum…
Barbossa savagely dragged Elizabeth straight down to the staris leading to the brig where Will and Jack were.
***
Jack looked up suddenly. He heard a multiple thumping noise. That had to mean someone was coming down…or someones… but who? Every crewman was up on deck, celebrating his new-found sense of life. He had even heard the small splash of a man who had fallen into the water numerous times… And God, did he wish he could have just a bit of the spoils…just a sip of rum would put him right…
"Shh!" hissed Jack, "someone's comin'…"
Will looked up abruptly. He too thought it was a bit strange that some one (or ones) was coming down here, to the brig, when they could be partying above. Will only hoped, as did Jack, that it wasn't rogue crewmembers coming down to teach them a lesson… But he didn't have to wait long to find out who it was that was coming.
As the steps grew closer to the bottom of the stairs, Will straightened up and tried to look as unphased as possible, where as Jack was leaning against the corner of on of the walls, trying to look bored…as if he desired nothing more than a bit of extra sleep.
Neither of them expected to see Elizabeth being yanked down the stairs into the brig. Still, grasping her arm, Barbossa jerked her forwards and threw her into the cell in the corner of the brig, nearest to Jack.
"There, jus' like ye tol' me. Let's see jus' how ye like it now… Oh…an' I can't be fergettin' me second condition… We're not givin' ye any food neither," Barbossa spat as he turned and headed back up the stairs. An afterthought struck him and he said viciously, poison dripping from each word, "If I catch ye givin' anythin' to 'er, then yer goin' ter be in fer a world of hurt…got that?" He turned and actually went up the stairs this time, slamming the door, hard; so hard that it shook the stairs. He was still angry, there was no doubt about that because of the way he threw Elizabeth into the cell. She hit the wall and crumpled to the floor in an instant.
Will was outraged and tried to scramble to his feet to protect her, but two things kept him from doing so: 1) the bars between them, and 2) he couldn't even get up because his hands prevented him from standing up so quickly. So he sat there, after a mild struggle, absolutely furious that Barbossa would treat Elizabeth this way. After a moment, he asked meekly, "Are you all right Elizabeth? Did he hurt you? Tell me and I'll do anything and everything I can to hurt him back…Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth was on the floor, lying in the position that she fell. It had hurt, but she knew nothing serious had happened. And Will…Will was asking if she was all right and if he could help… For a moment, this infuriated Elizabeth. Of course he had hurt her! There was no doubt about it! And the nerve of him…to be asking if she was all right… No! She wasn't! Her fiancée and her father had been murdered, she had gotten felt up by one of the most disgusting pirates to walk the face of the earth, she just got thrown into a rock-hard cell…was she all right? No! And come to think of it, it really was Will's fault. If only he hadn't spent so much time reflecting on whatever it was that he was thinking about before he tried to put in the medallions… Elizabeth's anger overtook her compassion and all good thoughts she may have had before vanished with the sight of seeing will again, so she mustered up all the control she could to say a simple statement to him. "Will, I really don't feel like talking to you right now. There's nothing I could say to you to have you make everything better. Half the Royal fleet is dead, my fiancée is dead, my father is dead, and you're asking if Barbossa hurt me and if you can make it well again. Really Will, think, if it weren't for you, none of this would have happened. I really don't want to talk to you at all right now, or maybe ever, so if you'd be so kind…" Elizabeth shot him a glare and went over to sit in the corner of the cell, tucking her legs under her arms and resting her chins upon her arms, staring off into space.
Will was stunned. Elizabeth had just blown up at him and said she may never want to speak to him again. He looked down and sighed silently. Never had he felt so horrible in his entire life. He wanted to curl up and die… because he had tried; he had tried so hard to not hurt Elizabeth, to be perfect for her, so that she would at least glance his way every now and again. But now, now that didn't look like it was ever going to happen again. Gone were the days when trivial arguments were mended within minutes, now it was time to face the reality of their situation and he didn't know what to do.
A/N: HEY!!!!! How'd you like this one? Is it too short? I'm sorry, I tried to make it longer, but that just didn't happen…But hey, don't you just feel so horrible for Will? I know I do…and I'm sorry I put him through so much pain…. *sighs* Oh well…things'll get better…maybe… I don't want to give too much away…because I already feel like I've foreshadowed too much…hint, hint… *-* So yeah! I hope you all liked it…I liked the ending much more than the beginning, because I really didn't know how to introduce and continue this part of the story, so I did my best. And plus, with all the crap at school, it's getting kinda hard. I probably won't be posting for a little while, but keep checking back anyways, or if it's easier, put me on your Author Alerts, then you'll know for sure when I post. So I've gotta get going on the replies or I wont be able to do them! *gasp* God forbid! *-*
Cheers!
Tati Bloom aka Elf Girl
PS: I love Orlando Bloom
AN OUTSTANDING AND MARVELOUS THANKS TO:
*Leap of Fate: Yeah, school is horrid!!! I know…I can't believe that they take me away for 9 hours a day to learn…hmm….I find that horribly cruel!!!! Lol!!! Yeah, go kick some school-board ass for me…. (sorry if any of you have any connexions to school boards….I didn't mean any offense!!!) So yeah, dear William, struggling to get his pants off…hmm….a lovely sight, that…. *-* So yeah, thanks for waiting!!! I'll try to post again soon!!! I hope you thought this chapter was spiffing too!!!
* Spirit 3: Yes!!! Of course your review brightened my day up!!! And not JUST ½ a minute….it was longer than that…say…. ¾ minutes? Lol! Nah-it was longer than that! And I love everything you say….except I had one problem……here, read this "excerpt" from your review…. "…anyway, ive got to give urprops for finding a way to deal with will's little, problem…" what were you meaning with the "urprops" thing? I had a tad bit of trouble trying to figure it out…and I still can't…. *-* But thanks! I'll try to post soon!!!!
*The Serious Padfoot: I know!!! He's finally relieved himself! Isn't that great!!! Yeah, I've done that sort of thing before….for a play, plus I'm super flexible, and I assume that dear William should be since he practices with his swords (tee hee) 3 hours a day, so it must involve some kind of flexibility… *-* Yeah! Never give up! Lol!!!
*Erika Hanley: Oh!!! You're very welcome! I try to update as soon as I can all the time! So I'll try to post the next chapter soon…but I have yet to write it!!! Thanks so much for enjoying it! I'm glad you did… and I can't say how cheerful I am that I "never cease to impress" you!!! That's really nice to hear, especially after the days that I've been having!!! Yeah, I hate geometry…..right up there with throwing up and spiders…. Eeww…… So yeah, I'm really happy that you actually felt like you were there whilst dear William was having a bit of a struggle…. I think it's one of the greatest complements a writer can get when their readers (like you!!!!) can feel like they're right there in the story too!!! So thank you!! I hope you liked this chapter, it was a bit tedious at first, sorry about that…and it wasn't as funny as the last…which by the way, thanks for saying it was funny….I like being funny… *-* tee hee… And yeah, Barbossa will most probably be in the next chapter in one way or another, so keep reading!!!
*Ihni: I'm glad I made your week!!! That makes me ECSTATIC!!! Woo hoo!!! Terribly sorry your week was crappy though… So yeah, it was basically like an interlude….as was this one as well…I'll get into more of their problems in the next chapter (promise!!!) I'm also spectacularly happy that you could see the whole chapter playing out….As I said before, it's one of the greatest complements ever to actually have someone see what's going on and be there. Thanks so much! I try to "be" there before I write it, so that I can describe it fully, but sometimes that doesn't work out. I'm glad it did in the last chapter though, and I hope it worked out here! I worked so hard on this one… And yes, you will get your violence and action and all that good stuff… but not yet, remember the old saying "good things come to those who wait" or the even better saying… "wait until the opportune moment"…. *-* So yeah, school is a fucking bitch, I hate it, but hey, it'll help me get better with my writing (you know…with English coming up and all….) so maybe it's for the best…now, if we could only do so much for that evil geometry…. *shudder* But come on, I wouldn't mind if you gave me an overdose!!! In fact the more the merrier! Lol!!! But then again, I'm sure that's what Marilyn Monroe said right before she popped the last sleeping pill in her mouth… Right??? Haha….. But really, I love Marilyn, she was a ditz and a bit of a slut, but she was great, you've got to admit that….and plus, most people don't know about the shitty childhood she had…. But hold up a sec….how'd I get from saying goodbye to talking about Marilyn Monroe…..hm…..I'd better shut up…..*-*
*And last, but not least…. Mistress of Mordor: Ahhh….my good friend… 'ello mate (haha…I was feeling very Australian at the moment…) …. So, yeah, I don't care if you give me a hard time…frankly it probably helps because I want to get an even better chapter out then! If you can believe that…. *-* So yeah, sorry to have kept you waiting…I've been busy, and by the way it sounds, you have been too, so I won't pester you about reviewing! But yeah… It was amusing…I had some great fun writing it at like 2 A.M….. geez… that was a fun night…I had just gone to a party and then I was feeling really good and decided to stay up all night anyways… well, it was either that or the massive amount of Coke I had there…. (Coca-Cola, I should say, don't want anyone to get the wrong idea, eh? Lol!) Yeah, I have tried to take my pants off that way….though I'm not the most proud of it…. *-* But I mean, I'm certain it works, I mean, at least for me it does, but then you've also got to realize that Will only has to whip out his dick and take a piss and then put it back in… you know what I mean, so he really doesn't have to shove his pants all the way down…though that could be a nice sight….don't you think? Well, maybe not…I should get my mind out of the gutter….though I suppose it might be there for a while longer since I have to write a report about Henri Toulouse-Lautrec…. And we all know who he is…. Lol! But he was really talented….so I'm glad I'm doing my report about him, and not someone else! *-* But yeah, my directions are very valid (at least for myself) so if anyone (Valar forbid…ha ha, incorporating a bit of Lord of the Rings into my everyday language…) finds themselves in that situation, then there you go….that's how you do it…. But then again, being on a boat with the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow wouldn't be too bad either… hmm…. Yeah, I'll stop rambling…. So yes, I still am writing into the wee hours of the morning, but I mostly do that on weekends, because the last time I did it on a week night, I nearly fell asleep first hour….oops…. *-* Yes, of course I'll keep writing, just as long as you keep reading and reviewing mon amie….(that's not to be meant in the romantic way…it's casual!!! And I would know…I'm taking French….*-* but by the way, that goes for everyone else! Keep reading and reviewing and I'll keep writing!) So yeah, about Will's hand… I haven't decided what on earth to do about it… But yes, I'm sure something interesting will come of it…. So, until next time! Cheers!!!!
PLEASE KEEP REVIEWING!!! IT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT I'LL KNOW PEOPLE ARE READING IT, SINCE I DON'T HAVE A HIT-COUNTER!!!! SO IF YOU WANT CHAPTERS UP FASTER (though I can't completely guarantee it…) THEN REVIEW!!!! EVEN IF IT'S ONLY A SENTENCE LONG (though I'd prefer it longer…*-*) JUST REVIEW! THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY!!!! *-* OXOX
