A/N: Yay! Great reviews for my last chapter! Thanks everyone! Here's another chapter for you.

pghal6: Will is such a stupid, stupid, hot pirate. lol. Yeah, intimate moments are always ruined. I guess I should make at least one that's not ruined. But then again I like to be evil and ruin stuff. lol. This next chapter should be very interesting. Took me a while to get my head straightened out to get this one on paper.

obliviongates: I'm always extremely bored so this is what I do when I have nothing else to do. Updating quickly was one of my goals and I guess I fulfilled it! lol. Its ok, I say a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense either. I understood what you were saying. I didn't mean to have a cliffhanger in that chapter but it was late and I really wanted to finish that chapter. lol.

nicole: Yay! I got the tension known! Will's been really stupid lately so I wouldn't really trust who he chooses lol. Someone needs to straighten him out. He's driving me crazy for how stupid he is and I'm writing him! Okay, I'll stop now. lol. Hope you like this chapter too!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Pirates of the Caribbean. I only own Anna Wilson and any other characters you don't recognize.

Chapter Ten: Loss at Sea

"Keep us steady now," Will said to Gibbs aiming his musket at the Black Pearl. "NOW!" he screamed.

"Fire all!" Elizabeth screamed along with him. The battle had begun.

Cannons fired making a huge cloud of smoke that surrounded the two battling ships. The Pearl was quickly overpowering the Interceptor and the crew knew it. Gibbs and Elizabeth ducked behind the side of the ship to avoid being shot at.

"We could use a few more ideas lass!" Gibbs said shooting at the Pearl.

"Your turn!" Elizabeth shouted back.

"We need us a devil's dowry!" Gibbs said ducking a shot fired at him.

Anamaria ducked down behind Elizabeth and pointed her gun at her. "We'll give 'em her!"

Will looked over at Elizabeth. "She's not who they're after," he said.

Elizabeth's hand moved to her chest where the medallion usually hung. It wasn't there. "The medallion!" she said frantically.

"I'll get it," Anna said standing up to go to the hatch. Will grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"No, you stay here," he said looking into her eyes making her breath shorten.

Anna nodded. Will turned and quickly went below deck. Anna ducked down behind the side of the ship again with the rest of the crew. She heard a huge explosion from a cannon. Wood cracked and splintered. The mast had been severed. The crew ran out of the way as it fell down on both the ships. Ropes with hooks on them flew over to the Interceptor as the crew of the Black Pearl invaded the ship.

Anna heard a faint calling from the hatch. A cannon was on top of it. "Will," Anna breathed. She began to run over but was caught off guard by Jack suddenly swinging onto the ship.

"'ello, luv," Jack said smiling. He ran over to Gibbs and Elizabeth.

Anna kept running to the hatch. She looked down inside and saw Will trying to move something out of the way and push the hatch up.

"Anna!" he said seeing her looking through the grate that separated them both. Anna smiled and attempted to move the cannon off of the hatch. Elizabeth quickly joined her.

"Will!" she screamed, seeing him trapped below.

"Elizabeth," he yelled back up. Elizabeth moved over to Anna and attempted to move the cannon but nothing worked.

"I can't move it!" Elizabeth screamed down to Will. Someone grabbed her arms and pried her from the hatch. "Will!" she screamed.

Anna quickly dodged one of the pirates trying to grab her and take her to the Pearl. She ducked behind the cannon and tried to move it again. It still wouldn't budge. She looked back down into the hatch and saw the water level rising dramatically. Will had little time left before he would be trapped underwater. Anna's hands were holding the hatch so her fingers went through the holes. She felt something touching them. She looked down and saw Will holding her hands as best he could through the grate. Anna's heart sank.

"I'll get you out," she said looking over to the side of the ship. An idea suddenly came into her mind. If water was coming in, there had to be a hole somewhere in the hull. Will still had a way out. A hand grabbed her upper arms and tried to drag her away. She squirmed free and ran to the side of the ship and jump off.

"Stupid girl!" the pirate shouted. "Where are you going to go? You were better off coming with me!"

Anna didn't listen and quickly swam underwater looking for the hole in the hull. The salt stung her eyes but she didn't care at that point. She finally found the hole and surfaced for one last breath of air before she went in. She noticed the Pearl sailing away. She dove under again and went inside, seeing Will underwater now, trying to escape. She swam to him and grabbed his hand, pulling him to the hole and ultimately out of the ship. They surfaced. Anna still held his hand. Will smiled at her.

"Thanks," he said softly before swimming towards the Black Pearl that was now stopped a little while off. Anna followed him. They were almost to the Pearl when the Interceptor suddenly exploded. Anna and Will stopped as the Interceptor sunk from the explosion slowly.

Anna's eyes widened. "You know you owe me big time, right?" Anna said making Will smile.

"Yeah, I guess I do," he said.

They turned and made their way to the Pearl. They heard voices speaking. First Elizabeth's, then Barbossa's.

"Welcome back, miss!" Barbossa said. "You took advantage of our hospitality last time. It holds fair now that you return the favor."

They heard Elizabeth screaming. Will climbed up on deck. Anna followed clumsily, nearly falling on the deck.

"Barbossa!" Will yelled. He hopped down on the deck and picked up a gun aiming it at Barbossa. "She goes free!"

"What's in your head, boy?" Barbossa said amused by Will's attempt at a heroic moment.

"She goes free," Will said with his gun still pointed at Barbossa.

"You've only got one shot, and we can't die," Barbossa mocked.

"Don't do anything stupid," Jack said quietly. Anna turned her head to look at Jack who was almost pleading with Will to shut up before he gets all of them killed.

Will looked over to Jack and thought for a moment. He suddenly ran to the edge of the ship and pointed the gun to himself.

"You can't. I can," Will said. Elizabeth lurched forward to stop Will but the pirates held her back. Anna started to run forward but was stopped by Barbossa's arm wrapping around her shoulders

"Where do ye think yer goin', lass?" Barbossa said with his arm still around her shoulders.

Will's eyes widened. "Let her go!" he said with anger burning in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Barbossa said wondering what the hell a boy would be aiming a gun at himself for.

"No one, he's no one!" Jack hastily said stopping Will from revealing who he was. "Distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though, eunuch."

"My name is Will Turner! My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins!" Will yelled, cutting Jack off. Jack sighed in frustration at Will's stupidity.

"Idiot," Anna said looking down. Barbossa had let go of her shoulders. He was now interested in Will.

"He's the spittin' image of ol' Bootstrap Bill come back to 'aunt us!" a pirate yelled pointing at Will.

"On my word, do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones's Locker!" Will said with his gun still pointed under his chin.

"Name your terms, Mr. Turner," Barbossa said taking a couple of steps towards Will.

"Elizabeth goes free!" Will yelled.

"Yes we know that one. Anything else?" Barbossa asked smiling at Will.

Jack made gestures towards himself, asking for his ship. Will didn't catch on.

"And the crew, the crew are not to be harmed!" Will yelled.

"Jack's ship, Jack's ship!" Anna wanted to scream to Will but only whispered it.

"Agreed," Barbossa said smiling at Will.

"No," Anna said to herself but another pirate standing by her heard her. He slapped her hard across the face.

"Shut up girl!" he said. Anna touched her burning cheek with the back of her hand.

"Leave her alone!" Will yelled, now standing on the deck glaring at the pirate that slapped Anna.

"We're done bargaining, Mr. Turner," Barbossa spat at Will. "Her fate is no longer in your hands."

Anna looked up at Will with sad eyes. Will felt a hard pang in his chest. He blinked and looked away.

"Take the former crew of the Interceptor down to the brig!" Barbossa barked at his crew. "Leave Mr. Turner, Jack, Elizabeth, and this other lassie up here!" he said smiling evilly at Will.

The crew ran around the ship, following their orders. They had started to make sail. Will looked over at Anna and smiled weakly.

"I'm sorry, Anna," Will said sadly.

"No one in their right mind would be able to think straight with a gun pointed at themselves," Anna said looking down at her feet.

Will nodded. A piece of hair fell into Anna's face. Will raised his hand to move it out of the way but a pirate grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

"Come on now, no time for that," the pirate said. Will looked back at Anna. Barbossa was moving towards her.

"Well, missy, we've got ourselves some free time before we reach our destination. Why don't we go for a walk," Barbossa said with his arm around her shoulders once again.

He walked her to the edge of the ship. "I say a couple of times around the ship will be sufficient," Barbossa said.

Anna stayed silent. She was scared, scared of what would happen to her, scared of what would happen to Will, scared of what would happen to anyone on Jack's side. Barbossa was silent for a couple of minutes also.

"What be yer name, missy?" Barbossa asked.

Anna was quiet. She didn't know if her name would affect her fortunes. "Anna," she said just above a whisper.

"Anna what, missy?" Barbossa asked.

"Does it matter?" Anna asked.

"Yes it does. Just answer me question," Barbossa said smiling at her.

"Wilson," she said just above a whisper.

"Lovely name, Miss Wilson," Barbossa said. "What brought you here on this little adventure with Jack?"

Anna looked up at him suspiciously. "I came with Will," Anna said vaguely.

"Ah, I see. Trying to win over his heart, eh?" Barbossa asked smiling knowingly.

"No," Anna lied. "I'm a…um…good friend of Elizabeth."

"Just to let ye know, yer a terrible liar," Barbossa said.

"What does this have to do with anything?" Anna yelled.

"I'm lonely, Anna," Barbossa said, not listening to her. "I have been for quite some time."

Anna looked up at Barbossa and saw his eyes grow dark.

"You see, because of this curse of mine, I cannot feel anything. The love I used to have for the sea is now empty. I am nothing, Anna. For ten years I've been like this. The company of anyone is a precious gift," Barbossa said.

"What are you going to do with me?" Anna said scared of another cage for her to be locked in.

"Nothing yet, Miss Wilson," Barbossa said. "As long as everything goes according to my plan, ye'll be fine. But if something happens that I am to be cursed, ye'll be honored by staying aboard the Pearl with me."

"Leave me alone," Anna said seeing lust in Barbossa's eyes.

Barbossa smiled. "Shame I can't keep Miss Elizabeth aboard too. But we wouldn't want dear Will to shoot himself. Ye could have had a companion."

"You're despicable," Anna sneered at Barbossa.

Barbossa smiled. "Doesn't the word 'pirate' suggest that anyway?"

Anna glared at Barbossa.

"Captain!" the bo'sun said coming up to Anna and Barbossa. "We've reached the island."

Barbossa smiled. "Ah, excellent." He walked down to the waist of the ship with his arm still around Anna. The crew had gathered around where a plank was set up coming out the side of the ship. Elizabeth was standing on it. Will was being held back by many members of the crew. His anger and strength struggling against them made it almost impossible for anyone to hold him back.

"Barbossa you lying bastard, you swore she'd go free!" Will shouted at Barbossa.

"Don't dare impugn me on her boy! I agreed she'd go free but it was you who failed to specify when or where," Barbossa mocked.

A pirate came behind Will and gagged him. He tried to fight it but it was no use.

"Though it does seem a shame to lose something so fine, don't it lads?" Barbossa said looking at Elizabeth.

"Aye," the crew agreed with Barbossa.

"So I'll be having that dress back," Barbossa said smiling.

Elizabeth took off the dress so that all she was in was her under-dress. The pirates whistled perversely at Elizabeth as she threw it to Barbossa.

"It goes with your black heart," she sneered at him.

He felt it on his cheek and smiled. "Ooh, it's still warm," he said and threw it to the pirates.

Elizabeth turned and looked down at the water. The pirates mocked her and pointed their swords at her. Barbossa wrapped his arm around Anna's shoulders again. Elizabeth looked back at Will. They held each others eye contact. Anna stiffened awkwardly being in between Will and Elizabeth.

"Too long!" the bo'sun yelled and kicked the plank making it shake so Elizabeth fell off. Will lurched forward as she fell from his sight.

More pirates pushed Jack forward who was laughing with the other pirates at Elizabeth's fall. When he was brought to the plank, his laughter abruptly stopped. Barbossa let go of Anna's shoulders and pushed her back to the other pirates who eagerly held her back.

"I'd really rather hoped we were past all this," Jack said nervously.

"Jack…" Barbossa said laughing and putting his arm around Jack's shoulders, "Jack, did you not notice? That be the same little island that we made you governor of on our last little trip."

Jack looked back to the godforsaken spit of land that Barbossa called an island.

"I did notice," he said turning back to Barbossa.

"Perhaps you'll be able to conjure up another miraculous escape…but I doubt it. Off you go," Barbossa said trying to get him on the plank.

"Last time you left me a pistol with one shot," Jack said worried that he would have to be parted with his beloved pistol.

"By the powers you're right. Where be Jack's pistol. Bring it forward," Barbossa said as a crew member brought forward Jack's effects.

"Since there's two of us, a gentleman would give us a pair of pistols," Jack said trying to bring his chances of escaping up.

"It'll be one pistol as before and you can be the gentleman and shoot the lady and starve to death yourself," Barbossa said throwing Jack's effects into the water. Jack's eyes widened in panic and he dove into the water after them.

Barbossa turned toward the crew. "Make for the Isle de Muerta!" he barked to his crew.

"Aye captain!" the crew shouted.

"Take Mr. Turner and Miss Wilson below to the brig," Barbossa said to one crewmember.

He turned to Anna and Will who were still standing on deck.

"I hope you find your accommodations most comfortable," he said smiling as two pirates grabbed their arms and took them below.

A/N: Eh…this chapter was shorter than I wanted it to be. Oh well. I tried to make it interesting. Please review!
