As she walked up on deck she saw Dom coming toward her. "Dom! What are you doing here?" Elsa whispered.
The Black Pearl was docked in Port Royal again, and all the crew was out on the town-presumably getting drunk. If Dom were to pick the worst time to show up it would be now.
"My father's here; you have to get Captain Sparrow to leave, Elsa," he said hurriedly.
"What? But Will and Jimmy-they're downstairs and Jack's out there with the crew somewhere and-what am I gonna do? What can I do?" Elsa was talking quickly and starting to sound desperate. Dom wrapped his arms around her and held her close.
"Ssh," he said quietly. "We'll be fine. I'll stall my father while you and Jack leave. It'll all be alright." He kissed her. "Trust me?"
"Yes..." Elsa smiled. "Always."
"Aw...now that is lovely. But I really don't have time for any of your silly romances."
Elsa and Dom turned to see Charles Andrews standing before them, glaring menacingly.
"How did you-?" Dom started, standing between his father and Elsa.
"Oh, boy!" said Andrews, aggravated. "I knew ever since that night in Tortuga. Don't you remember? I've been shadowing you all these many months," he said happily.
"You used us to get to Jack!" Elsa yelled hotly.
"Precisely," Andrews smiled. He retrieved his pistol from his belt and aimed it at the pair. Dom stood protectively in front of Elsa. "Move aside boy," he threatened.
"No!"
Andrews fired a shot above their heads. "Move!"
Elsa pushed Dom aside and stepped forward.
"Smart lass," he smiled coldly. "Now tell me where your Da is."
"Not here," she replied icily. "Somewhere in town maybe. Could be leagues away from here for all we know."
"What's all the fuss about?" Danielle asked, emerging from below decks, Jimmy following close behind her.
"Lovely, more children to deal with," Andrews groaned.
"Who are you?" Jimmy asked, eyeing Andrews suspiciously.
"Jimmy, let it go, I've got it under control," cautioned Elsa.
"I don't have time for this," Andrews growled. He took his sword from its' sheath and raised it in the air.
Jimmy drew his own sword and yelled, "Who are you and what do you want?"
"You have no idea who you are dealing with young man! I am Captain Charles Andrews, and if you don't sheath that sword of yours, I'll run you through!" he threatened.
"Jimmy, don't," Danielle whispered behind him.
"Yes, Jimmy, listen to the wench: don't," Andrews mocked.
Danielle glared at him.
"Leave her out of this," warned Jimmy.
"Do you want to battle me, boy?" Andrews half laughed.
"Jimmy," Elsa groaned. "Nice goin'..."
Jimmy raised his sword to Andrews'. "Let's go."
"Jimmy, no!" Danielle protested.
"Too late," Dom observed.
Jimmy was no match for the pirate captain, and soon got himself into trouble; his sword was knocked out his hand and he was caught between Andrews and the mast.
"Jimmy!" Danielle screamed as Andrews raised his blade.
Before the sword made contact with Jimmy, though, another blade interfered with the heavy blow. Dom strained to stay his father's sword with his own, trying to give Jimmy time to retrieve his weapon. But even Dom couldn't match the captain's strength. Andrews pushed Dom backwards, driving him into the railings of the ship. He fell with a thud onto the deck.
Andrews then turned back to Jimmy and, with a quick movement, stabbed him through the middle before he could reach his sword.
"Whoa," Elsa thought and took a step back. "Holy hell..."
"Jimmy!" Danielle shrieked, running to his side. She took him in her arms and began to sob. "Jimmy," she whispered and took Jimmy's hand in hers. "Jim-"
"Ssh," Jimmy strained a smile. "I love you, Danielle. But I don't want you to worry about me..."
"No...I can't go on without you. I love you."
"I love you. And yes you will. You have to. Please, Danielle. Don't-" he stopped to take a sharp breath. "Don't worry about me."
"Jimmy...no...please..."
"I...love you."
"No..."
"Promise me..." he whispered hoarsely. "Promise me you'll...go..."
"Jimmy?" Danielle shook him lightly. "What Jimmy?"
But James Norrington the second was never able to finished his sentence.
"What pitiful stuff," muttered Captain Andrews, and turned away from them.
"No!" Danielle screamed. "No!" she grabbed Jimmy's fallen sword and lunged at Andrews.
"Why you-!" He took a hidden knife from his sleeve and stabbed Danielle through the arm.
"Danielle!" Elsa yelled. "Dammit!" She caught her as Danielle fell out of shock. "Dom! Take her!"
Danielle pushed him away and sank beside Jimmy's body, his head in her lap. Tears began to flow again from Danielle's eyes as she looked down at him.
Dom tore the sleeve of his shirt and began wrapping her wound as Elsa confronted Andrews.
Elsa's voice shook with anger as she said, "You kill one of my friends and you attack my best friend." She drew her sword and spoke again. "It's my turn."
"Come on girl!" he yelled at her, quite annoyed with all these young people around him. "Where is Sparrow?"
She didn't answer.
Andrews glared at her. "You won't tell me? Fine. Boys," he motioned towards a few men behind him. "Escort Miss Sparrow to the dining room. We'll have to sort this matter out privately."
At his command, two men dragged Elsa to Jack's room and threw her into a chair, then stood by the door. Dom tried to follow.
"And someone may want to hold the boy down," he added, looking at Dom. Another two pirates held Dom back, who was now looking at his father with vengeful eyes. "It looks like he's getting angry, and might do something," he paused and stared hard at him before finishing, "stupid." With that he strode to the cabin to further interrogate Elsa.
