(A/N) Forgot to mention this...GO SOX! #18...GO BIG PAPI! (Sorry there is a sox/yankee game tonight...had to get it out of my system)
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"What am I here for?" Eve asked as she was brought on deck.
"First lesson. See all the crates and boxes on the deck."
"Yes." James then put a blindfold on her.
"Go around this deck without touching one of them."
"You can't be serious." Eve said, it was an impossible task.
"I am very serious. The temple is dark, a false move on your part could get us killed." Eve hated this, she wanted to cry, she wanted to scream for Jon, but now everyone she ever loved was in jeopardy.
"Alright." Eve then slowly began to walk forward, her arms out slightly to keep her balance, to feel things she could no longer see.
James watched her move. The reason he picked her was she moved gracefully and without hesitation, every move she made was thought out, and done directly. James walked parallel to her, just watching. There was one thing he didn't mention, he left the bulkhead open, it was not visible where she could see it, but if she really knew what she was doing she wouldn't fall through. Now it was the time, she was steps away from it.
Eve heard her breathing, it was all she heard besides James constantly saying, 'excellent', she walked further until she felt something wrong, and stopped. Eve stood incredibly still and spoke loudly and clearly. "Close the bulkhead!" She shouted at James.
"No, get to the other side." Eve then took a few steps back. She had no idea how big it was, how long she would have to jump, but she was going to. Eve took several more steps back. Eve then ran full speed and jumped and landed on her feet on the other side.
James took a crate and slid it at her, hoping to catch her off guard. Eve simply jumped back and grabbed the edge of the deck and held herself up as the crate fell and broke below her. Eve swung her legs up and stood back on the deck. She made her way all the way back to where she started, right in front of James.
"Very good…" James said as he took the blindfold off her. Eve stared right through him.
"I want something from you."
"Really?" He was interested in this turn of events.
"I am willing to do this for you, no struggle, no protests. I want you to send word to the Pearl, tell them where I am, tell them about Laura, Adam. When this is done, I just want to go home, I want to grieve."
"That is interesting." James then walked around her and from behind whispered in her ear. "I will do what you ask." He then turned and walked away.
Eve stood there a small smile forming on her lips. He was not going to make it out of that temple alive, she would be so in tune with her senses, that she would leave him behind. Eve then followed him. "Aren't I returning to my cell?"
"No." He then kept walking.
"So what am I supposed to do?" Eve asked, a bit caught off guard by his nonchalant attitude.
"Help the crew, I don't care, just stay out of my way." Eve stood still for a moment. That would be a mistake on his part. Eve walked across the deck and picked up a metal rod, lifted it high and threw it at his direction, several inches from his head it stuck out from the wall. James turned around slowly and looked at her, "You missed."
"Did I?" James then quickly walked towards her and grabbed her throat.
"Do not cross me again." He squeezed harder.
"Go ahead, end it…I don't care…remember your investment." He then dropped her to the floor.
"Pull something like that again, and you will be punished." He then walked away. Eve got up and was bombarded by three large pirates who took her back down to her cell. There was no way she would be left alone in this ship, she was safer locked in the brig.
"Are you alright?" Adam asked Eve.
"Fine." Eve hadn't spoken to either of them since they got there.
"Eve why don't you just speak with us?" Laura asked.
"I'm not in the mood."
"Why?"
"Because I don't feel like it alright! I am in pain, tired, and I witnessed my husband's throat just slashed, so I am so sorry if I don't feel like catching up with my sister and cousin, who not once tried to contact with me!" Eve was fuming, she wanted to be left alone.
Laura sat back in the cell taking in her sister's outburst, understanding her, but knowing Eve was stronger than this.
"Eve this is not the time to be angry with us. We are on your side, there will be time to grieve, but this is not it. You have to be strong, even when you feel like just disappearing, you have to be strong for Jon, who I believe wouldn't want you to give up like this." Laura sat back when Eve didn't say anything.
"Eve, you can't be angry with your sister, she loves you and is just trying to help you." Adam said as he slid across the floor and sat next to her.
"I am just so tired…" Eve then sobbed into his shirt. Eve was so tired of fighting, she was sick of it, sick of pain, sick of the feeling of holding her breath all the time.
(A/N) Barbossa is using Eve...do you think he is going to let her leave? Or is he just as his father...a man with no honor?
