Chapter 7

Miranda and Jack both froze as Barbossa laughed at their uncharacteristic reactions, "So, the great Captain Jack Sparrow has a child?" Barbossa pinched Ismene's cheeks as he leaned over to whisper, "How does it feel to see him after so long?" Another hearty chuckle escaped Barbossa's lips as Ismene's terrified eyes shifted from Barbossa to Jack, then to her mother, "I thought you said that he was dead." Miranda closed her eyes, " I didn't know, I promise you, I wouldn't lie to you Ismene..." She opened her eyes, "Barbossa!" The older pirate looked at her. Miranda sighed as she pulled out the the gold necklace with the medallion and took it out, "You want this?" There was dead silence on the ship as she went to the side of it and held it out over the ocean. The fear was visible on Barbossa's face as he and his crew looked on with horror at the medallion's fate, his and his crew's only salvation, "Name your price Miss de la Costa." Her eyes bore into Barbossa's, "Let my daughter go." Barbossa smiled, "Done," He pushed Ismene towards Jack and Miranda, "But I want you instead." The crew of the Princessa Gothica cried out in anger, "No!" Miranda kept her eyes on the evil pirate, "Done." Two members of the Black Pearl grabbed her and pushed her in front of Barbossa. He knelt down in front of her, "I'll be taking that medallion now, luv." he stretched out his hand. She stood up, "You'll have to pry it out of my cold dead fingers." Barbossa slowly stood up and in one clean motion, he took out his sword and rammed it through Miranda's chest. "No!" Jack and Ismene ran towards Miranda as she fell backwards. Jack held the fallen Captain in his arms. There was laughter from the crew of the Black Pearl as Barbossa stood above them all, "Be careful what you wish for Miss de la Costa." Jack looked up at the murderer, "You...will...pay!" each word he managed to spit out was filled with anger. In an instant he stood up with his sword drawn. "Jack, no!" The next thing he knew, he was restrained by his friend Will. Jack struggled against Will's grip, "Get off, I'll kill him myself!" Barbossa looked around, his eyes rested on Ismene, "Tie everyone up, except the girl." Ismene sobbed as she held her mother. Miranda looked up and faintly whispered, "Take the medallion, and don't let them get it." Ismene nodded silently as the tears slowly flowed down her cheeks, "I will mom, don't worry." Miranda smiled as she put her hand to her daughter's face, "Take care of everyone for me, and if it should happen, this ship is yours now, Ismene." Ismene's sobs grew louder, "Mom, don't talk like that, you're going to be fine." Then to the young girl's horror, the hand that was caressing her cheek fell down Miranda's side. "Mom?" she shook the now limp body of the Captain. Ismene's body went numb, 'My mom is dead.' she thought to her self. She looked up at Barbossa, "Murderer!" She threw herself at Barbossa with her knife aiming at his heart, she was successful, but Barbossa merely smiled, "Trying to be the heroine, luv?" Then with a raised arm, he slapped the girl, hurling her to the floor. Jack ran up to the young one, "Ismene?" he held her in his arms. Barbossa looked at him and yelled, "What the hell did I just say, you scurvy dogs, I told you to tie them all up except the girl!" there were shouts as the all the members of the Princessa Gothica were tied up. Barbossa smiled, "Well, Captain Sparrow, what do you have to say now?" Jack lowered his head. The evil pirate laughed, "Just as I thought." A crew member of the Black Pearl approached the dispicable man, "Captain, what should we do now?" The pirate turned to leave, "Leave them tied up," he walked over to the steering wheel and gave it a good, hard spin, "We'll let the rocks destroy them." The ship turned towards the massive rocks near the island. The crew member picked up the body of Miranda, "What should we do with her?" Barbossa walked over towards the Black Pearl as she drew nearer to the Princessa Gothica, "Throw her overboard..." Jack watched in horror as the crew member threw Miranda's body over, sending his hopes and dreams drowning into the bottomless sea.
