A/N: This chapter isn't so funny… sorry about this… ha and guess what. I decided, this is the 'last' chapter. I say 'last' because there will be a sequel when you are done reading this you might think, "you bitch!" or "how are you going to make a sequel with this?" But please don't kill me, there is a reason for this… and you will see it just as soon as I write the first chapter of the sequel. Hope you like this chapter! I tried so hard to put humor in this!
Chapter 19: Irreplaceable
I woke up the next morning lying in bed staring at the same wall I have woken up to every day that I've been on this ship. I felt that something important happened yesterday, something that had to do with love. It must have been a dream! If it really did happen then why am I in this rock hard bed staring at this stupid wall?
I turned onto my back and noticed that, the bed I was in was not hard and painful, but soft and comforting. I sat up quickly and looked around, I was not in my own room. I felt someone move and cling to my waist. Startled I leaped to the side only to ram into the wall. It wasn't a dream. My arm stung where I hit it. I should make it a rule that after I wake up, I should lay there until I am conscious enough not to do anything stupid!
An hour went by in what seemed like nothing when Jack had finally woken up. I felt his eyes on me.
"It feels to good to be real." I said dreamily.
"Aye, but it is." Jack happily replied. As he got up he leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. I smiled up at him and looked into his eyes. He had worry in them. I watched as he put on his jacket and opened the door. He stood there for a moment just looking out at his ship. He shut the door and looked at me, "Stay here no matter what." These words sent chills down my spine. Once again he opened the door only this time he stepped out and shut the door behind him.
I heard shouting and swords clashing that seemed to go on forever, and then… it just stopped. I heard two men talking, one sounded like Jack… the other I could not recognize, but yet, it sounded so familiar. I walked to the door and pressed my ear up against it.
"Sorry cap'n, they snuck up right behind us, no one even saw em comin." I heard Gibbs say.
"It's alright Gibbs." Jack replied, he sounded so sad.
What is happening out there? My eyes wandered to the keyhole, It's a long shot but I guess I can try. I peered through the small hole. I could see Jack perfectly. I can't believe this actually works! He was on his knees and a man I couldn't see was standing in front of him with the end of his sword looking Jack in the face. Oh no. I heard the man laugh.
"Did you ever think this is how you would die? On your knees at the end of my sword?"
"No actually, this isn't what I pictured at all." With this comment the man kicked Jack in the face sending him toppling onto his side.
"Get up!" The man shouted.
"You just kicked me in the bloody face and now you want me to get up? If your going to kill me mate, just do it!" What is Jack thinking?!?
"Now where's the fun in that?" The man simply asked.
"I see your point, but your doin' it all wrong!"
"Now I hardly think this is the time for such a comment. You are at the end of my sword! Are you not?"
"You're a bloody amateur!" The man sighed, obviously frustrated that Jack was not responding to his threats the way he wanted. He picked his sword up and in mid swing I screamed.
"NOOOOOO!" I immediately realized my mistake and covered my mouth.
The man stopped and gave a nod towards the room I was in. I backed away just when a man swung it open. I was terrified. The man that came in was very big, but he was no pirate. He grabbed my arm and dragged me outside. Jack looked down and cursed as he saw me dragged from the room. I looked around and saw that Jack's crew had all been disarmed and shackled. The invaders on Jack's ships were all in blue uniforms.
"Well, if it isn't Miss Turner." Hearing the man who had a sword to Jack's throat use my name startled me. I took a long hard look at him; he had on a white powdered wig. He had striking blue eyes, and his cheekbones were well defined. He was in good shape and had a slim, yet muscular body. He looked so familiar yet I still did not recognize him. How does he know my name? "Don't you remember me? You stole my wife's ruby necklace." He smirked.
Hatred ran through me, I wanted to kill him right where he stood.
"So I see you do."
I do all right. "Mr. Vonsettie I believe that you are the one who stole my necklace." He laughed, which only made me want to hurt him more.
"So I see Captain Jack Sparrow hires just about any insolent fool that wants a job!" He stated as if there was no one that would challenge him.
"She's not a pirate." Jack told Vonsettie.
"What was that?" Vonsettie questioned.
"I didn't stutter." Jack responded coolly.
"Well if she's not a pirate then why is she dressed like a pirate on a pirate ship?" Vonsettie said with a cocky smile on his face like he knew everything.
"She was stranded on an island, we found her, brought her aboard against her will, and gave her clothes that were more comfortable than what she was wearing." Vonsettie's smile vanished. "You cannot harm her mate," Jack said with a smile, "she's done nothing wrong here."
"I suppose your right Mr. Sparrow."
"Captain Sparrow." Jack corrected.
Finally annoyed at Jack's arrogance Vonsettie decided to finish this. He brought his sword back, Jack looked at me with a look in his eyes that told me he loved me. The moment seemed to go by in slow motion. I felt myself break away from the man that had grabbed my arm and run towards Vonsettie. I practically flew towards him. Finally the world went back to normal and I was on Vonsettie punching him. I screamed at him, "You bastard!!"
Vonsettie finally realizing what happened, recovered and shoved me back. I gave him a bloody nose. His tongue moved around the inside of his mouth and he then spit out a tooth. A group of men came up behind me and grabbed me.
"There will be hell to pay for that." He snapped at me. And once again, he brought back his sword. The world moved in slow motion, I struggled but could not break free. Vonsettie brought his sword forward, and before I knew it, the tip of his sword was between Jacks back, and his jacket. I stopped struggling and watched in horror as Vonsettie removed his sword from Jack's body. Jack fell forward from his knees onto his hands. The guards let go of me and I ran to him. He looked up at me. I tried to speak, but no words came out.
"It's alright." I heard Jack whisper. "Everyone dies sooner or later." He chuckled.
"How can you be laughing at a time like this?"
"When will there be another?" Jack smiled at me and then took one last breath and collapsed onto the deck of his ship. Tears were streaming from my eyes. I just wanted to die, but not before Vonsettie. I wanted to turn him into a rotting corpse!
"Feed him to the sharks." Vonsettie said coldly. I stared at him with such hatred. When he looked at me he looked a bit shocked. "And lock her in the brig, I don't want to risk loosing anymore teeth."
I was frozen I tried to move but I couldn't, I watched in repulsion as Vonsettie's men picked up Jack's body and threw it overboard like a piece of trash. I felt tugging on my arm, but I remained unmoved. The man started dragging me across the deck. I stared up at Gibbs, he was planning something. I could see it on his face.
I was down in the brig when the crew was being brought down. A guard crammed them all in one cage and as he went to lock them in, as if they were one mind, the crew shoved the door into the guard's head knocking him unconscious. Gibbs grabbed the keys and unlocked my cell. But I just sat there, still shocked with what just happened. Gibbs frowned and ran up to the deck with the rest of the crew to try to, once again, fend off these invaders.
I heard canons and pistols being fired, and swords and knifes clashing. And after what seemed like hours, I heard shouting. A man ran into the brig, "Ula, we have won!" I stared at him in disbelief.
"And what was it that aided you in this victory that you didn't have the first time? Your Captains death?" I practically screamed these harsh words at him. He looked shocked. But he knew I was right. He slowly returned to the deck and rejoined the rejoicing crew.
I had nowhere to go now and I couldn't just stay on the pearl for the rest of my life. So the crew dropped me off in the only place that seemed fit. Port Royal where I would stay with my brother Will.
"And this will be your room." Elizabeth said finishing off the tour. Since the last time I saw Will, he and Elizabeth moved into a beautiful new home of their own. I could undeniably see that being the governor's daughter had its benefits. The only thing I came there with was Jack's hat, which I took as a reminder of him, and of course, Jeffrey. Although I was completely depressed with his death, I did not want to forget him. "After you get settled in we'll go into town and buy you some clothes." Elizabeth said as she left me alone. They were being so kind to me, they could see that I loved Jack. And they were horrified when they heard of Jack's death as well.
I looked around the room; it was so elegant. I couldn't believe it was where I would be living for however long seemed fit. There was a large balcony that had a lovely view of the bay. On the opposite wall was a large canopy bed carefully made with a deep blue silk comforter. Against another wall was an oak desk with elegant carvings down the legs. In the opposite corner from the door was a screen where I would be changing. I clung to Jack's hat and sat on the canopy bed. I had been through so much and hardly any of it had registered. I took in a deep breath, Jack's killer, Vonsettie, had escaped with the few men that survived. I wanted my revenge. Vonsettie had stolen from me again, but this time something priceless, something irreplaceable.
A/N: Yeah so there it is… please don't kill me or flame me, remember this isn't the end… and you will see in the sequel, now please review and I might just be motivated to write that chapter sooner.
