hands out more rum to Beth, Captain-Ammie and crazypenguinfrombeyondsanity42 Thanks for the reviews you guys! Oh, and Beth? I had to write the CD and Greg conversation for you! Lol It's lame but oh well, here it is. TWO MORE CHAPTERS AFTER THIS GUYS!
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, neither Elizabeth, nor I, own the rights to Pirates of the Caribbean so we have no right to claim other characters as our own (except Beth and Meg, of course...Through we did come up with the names for CD and Greg (also known as Grapple) ...late night in Houston...LOL). The Pirate King and Pirate Prince will forever belong to Buena Vista Home Entertainment.
Two days passed. Meg spent most of the time staring off into space or sleeping. Beth would sleep, murmur random things (which would snap Meg out of her trances and ask, "What?"), and stare at Will. Will would smile at Beth in these moments. On the second night, when everyone in the brig was asleep, Will spoke to her.
"Elizabeth? Beth? Are you awake?"
Beth sat up.
"Yes,"
"I-I'm sorry,"
"For what?"
"I told my name! I got everyone into this mess,"
Beth smiled slightly.
"No, I'm glad I'm here,"
Will blinked and looked at her.
"You are?"
Beth nodded.
"If these bars weren't here I would hug you…"
Will smiled one of his really cute smiles.
"If these bars weren't here I would kiss you…Beth…I love you,"
Beth smiled.
"I love you too,"
Will reached his hand out of the bars and reached for Beth. She did the same. Their cells were close enough together yet far enough away that they could only touch each other's fingers. They stayed like that for a period of time.
"Will?"
"Hmm?"
"…Are you afraid of dying?"
Will's face grew solemn.
"I don't know…yes and no…If—,"
Just then they heard thumps coming down the stairs. They let go and pulled their hands inside the cells. It was Pintel and Ragetti, here to mop floors. The rest of the crew woke up at the noise. Meg smiled and rolled over from her sleeping position. She smiled at Beth whose back was turned.
"Well, that was sweet," she murmured.
Beth flashed around.
"You heard all that!"
Meg nodded simply and stood up. Some of the grime that the pirates were mopping was seeping into their cell. Beth stood up also.
"You knew William Turner?" Will asked Pintel.
"Ol' Bootstrap Bill? We knew him," Pintel began telling the story of Will's father. Soon after telling, Barbossa came down the stairs.
"Bring him!" he threw the keys at Pintel. He unlocked Will's cell and bound his hands again. Before going up, Will smiled one last smile to Beth and went, reluctantly up the stairs. Beth rested her head on Meg's shoulder and began crying.
"But…he doesn't die…remember?" Meg said.
Beth nodded but continued crying.
After most of the pirates left, Beth and Meg sat in their cell, pretty much doing nothing. Until they heard two voices, CD (Cake-Dude) and Greg, talking about them and the current events…
"What do you think about all this?"
"What? Killing Turner?"
"Yeah,"
"Nothin', as soon as the curse is lifted then we can all be normal again and enjoy life,"
"But what about that Elizabeth girl? Maybe we can keep 'er…y'know…"
"Yeah and that Meg girl too!"
"Did ya notice the attachment between Turner and that Elizabeth? An' Meg and Sparrow?"
"But they're gone now,"
"Boy, they're headstrong lassies,"
"Perfect, eh?"
They chuckled.
"What do you pick to eat first? I think we should decide now…just so we're ready when the time comes!"
Beth shuddered and Meg grimaced after that conversation.
"Ohhh…gosh," Meg said and covered her face.
"Meg, that could be our future…"
Meg groaned. Thank goodness that the rest of the crew was not listening. Beth sighed, bored. Any moment Elizabeth would be coming aboard. Gibbs began telling a story about his adventures in the navy.
"Shh!" he suddenly said. Elizabeth ran down the stairs. "It's Elizabeth!"
(Meg continues singing soundtrack)
Both Meg and Beth jumped up from their sitting position, as did the rest of the crew. Elizabeth reached for the keys on the wall and unlocked the two cells.
"Will never did say that he loved Beth," she thought as she unlocked the girls' cell. The group crept up stairs onto the deck. CD and Greg were looking around for an intruder. The crew untied a dinghy and swung it into the two cursed pirates. CD and Greg were thrown into the sea in bits.
"At least that part of our future is over," Beth murmured to Meg. Meg nodded rapidly.
"All of you with me! Will is in that cave and we must save him!" Elizabeth began as she grasped onto the ropes of the dinghy. Beth and Meg did also.
"Ready! And…heave!" The boat didn't move. Elizabeth looked behind her at the rest of the crew.
"Please, we need your help, come one!"
"Any port in the storm," Cotton's parrot said. Gibbs looked at it.
"Cotton's right, we've got the Pearl,"
"And what about Jack?" Meg butt in. "Are you just going to leave him?"
"Jack owes us a ship," said the midget.
"And there's the code to consider," continued Gibbs. "You should know that Meg," Meg sighed and looked at the deck.
"The code?" Beth asked.
"You're pirates," stated Elizabeth. "Hang the code and hang the rules. They're more like guidelines anyway. At least Meg was brave enough to violate them,"
Still the remaining crew would do nothing. So with much struggling, Elizabeth, Meg and Beth finally got the dinghy into the water and began rowing towards the cave.
"Bloody pirates," cursed Elizabeth as she rowed and watched the Black Pearl sail away.
"I agree," said Beth.
"Hey," said Meg over her shoulder.
"Sorry," Beth said.
She and Elizabeth were rowing while Meg held a small lantern. The three heard much shouting and swords clashing together. They pulled the boat up onto shore a little bit and crept into the treasure room. Beth and Meg stood with their mouths open for a moment. The movie certainly didn't do it justice. They followed Elizabeth through a tunnel. She saw Will fall on the ground and picked up a long and heavy rod. Jacoby, a cursed pirate, stood over Will.
"I'm gonna teach you the meaning of pain!"
"You like pain?" said Elizabeth coming out from the shadows. She smacked Jacoby with the rod (with Beth's help). "Try wearing a corset!" They helped Will get up and he smiled at the two Elizabeth's. Meg came out also. They all stared at Jack, who, at the moment, was a skeleton.
"Whose side is Jack on?" Elizabeth asked.
"At the moment…" Will shrugged and all four of them ran to kill…er…destroy the remaining cursed pirates.
This was the umcompleted chapter...that convorsation between CD and Greg wasn't there until I put this up here! Beth was supossed to write it but she said that it was awkward...so after months of waiting I finally wrote it! Lol Also...Did you notice that that was the first time that Will called Beth..."Beth"?
