I want to thank everyone for the wonderful reviews. I just finished this chapter and wanted to get out before I go holiday for a week. I hope you like it.
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
It had been decided, thanks to Willow, that Jack and Will would go to the cave for Buffy, and Willow, Xander, and Oz would go to the Pearl for Dawn.
"What Code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen?" Will asked.
"Pirate's Code. Any man that falls behind is left behind."
"No heroes amongst thieves."
"For having such a bleak outlook on pirates, you're well on your way to becoming one.
Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga, and you're completely obsessed with treasure." The boat ran a ground. They both got out quickly.
"If you're saying that I'm completely obsessed with Buffy, then I will agree with you that I am completely obsessed with treasure. She is my rarest treasure indeed. But that does not make me a pirate."
The two moved quietly behind a pile of treasure. They could hear the commotion and quietly appeared over to see the pirates. Will's eyes immediately came upon Buffy and he could see that she was scared even though she was trying not to show it. He couldn't help but stare at her. He missed her so much. When Barbossa pointed at Buffy, Will started to make his move.
"Buffy!" Will whispered as he tried to climb over the treasure. "Jack!"
"Not yet. We wait for the opportune moment."
Jack pulled Will down. Will's arm knocked down some of the gold making a slight clinking sound. The two moved back down the path. Will knew he couldn't wait any longer. Not waiting for Jack to say anything else he sneaks up behind him and hits him over the head an oar.
"Not gonna happen this time mate. I'm not going to be your leverage."
Will moved quietly keeping his eyes on Buffy. Barbossa had her bent over a chest full coins. He hoped he wasn't too late.
Buffy's insides were trembling as Barbossa showed the knife. Her thoughts were on Will, and she had wanted to be able to tell him "I love you" one last time. Barbossa ripped the medallion from her neck and grabbed her hand. He placed the medallion in her hand and then slicing it with the knife. He closed her hand so that the blood touched the medallion. Buffy gasp at the pain she felt.
"Is that it?" Buffy asked surprised.
"Waste not." He said as he squeezed her hand before forcing her to release. It fell in with the rest and the pirates waited to see if it worked.
"Did it work?" One of the pirates asked.
"I don't feel no different," said Ragetti.
"How do we tell?"
At this Barbossa rolled his eyes and pulled out his gun and shot Pintel. When Pintel didn't drop dead, they knew the curse was still upon them. This made the pirates enrage and Buffy felt a smile grow inside her that they were not free yet. Barbossa grabs her by the arm tightly.
"You maid! Your father, what was his name? Was your father William Turner?"
"No." Buffy said with a look that dared him to say something.
"You said your name was Turner. You lied to us girl."
"One, I didn't lie. My name is Elizabeth Turner. Two, you are the one that assumed it was Miss."
"Where's his child that sailed from England eight years ago?"
"If you don't know then I'm not going to tell you." Buffy answered with a smug look of defiance.
Barbossa smacked her across the face. Both she and the coin went tumbling down the mound of treasure. She landed face down her body not moving. Blood seeped slowly from where she had hit her head.
Will's head quietly came out of the water as he moved toward Buffy's unconscious form. He placed a wet hand over her mouth. He became concern when she didn't respond. He shook her slightly and her eyes opened. His hand muffled the groan. He brought his finger to his mouth to make sure she knew to stay quiet. Then he motioned for her to follow him. Buffy nodded and slowly sat up. She quickly grabbed he medallion before following Will. They swam underwater for a bit before emerging behind the treasure. The two moved quietly toward the boat.
"I'll be right back." He returned seconds later with all of the other boats oars. Putting them in the boat, he pushed the boat back into the water.
"We have to get Dawn! She's still on the Black Pearl." Buffy said once they were out of the cave.
"I know. Willow and Xander went after her. We figured that they might separate you two.
They're probably already back on the ship."
Buffy turned. She kept herself facing the ship looking for Dawn. When they were half way to the boat, Buffy threw the other oars into the water. After ten minutes, they reached the boat. Will lifted her up so that she could climb onboard. She looked up to see more pirates.
"Wonderful, more pirates." She said looking around.
"Welcome aboard, Miss Elizabeth." Gibbs spoke as Will climbed onboard.
"Mr. Gibbs?" Buffy asked not believing that he was a pirate. Her thoughts were interrupted by a high pitch scream.
"BUFFY!" Dawn came running toward her. If it hadn't been for Will standing behind her, she would had fallen to the ground from the impact. "I thought I was never going to see you again."
"I'm okay. Will got to me in time."
"Willow. Xander." She greeted both of them with a hug.
"Can't stay out of trouble can you?" Xander asked with a teasing smile. Buffy returned the smile and simply shrugged.
"Well you know me always up for an adventure."
"You're hurt." Dawn said noticing the cut on her head.
"It's just a scratch. It doesn't even hurt."
"Let's go below and I'll clean it out to make sure it doesn't get infected." Will said taking her by the arm to lead her below.
"Hey, boy, where be Jack?"
"Jack?" Buffy asked. "Jack Sparrow?"
Will nodded and gave her a look that said he would tell her about it later.
"He fell behind." Will told Gibbs as they moved below. Dawn began to follow but Willow stopped her.
"They have some "talking" to do."
She put emphasis on the word talking hoping that Dawn would get what she meant. Dawn nodded.
Will had led her to the room that he had claimed as his. There was a bed and a table. He and Buffy sat on the bed, and they both moved in for a kiss. They were kissing passionately both putting all their fears of not seeing one another again into it. It was still several more seconds before they broke apart.
"I love you." Buffy said softly as she brought her uncut hand to his face.
"I love you too, and I don't want to be apart any longer." He said then he kissed her again.
"Neither do I. I'll promise to tell my father as soon as we get back. I don't want to be apart any longer either."
She said as she took of his vest and began trying to get his shirt off. He began to undo the ties on her dress. Soon both of them were naked kissing each other and making love to one other. Sometime later they lay underneath the covers snuggled closely.
"I really need to take care of your hand." Will said kissing her forehead.
"Later, but we do need to talk." She tilted her slightly from where it laid on his chest.
"Anything you want my love."
"They weren't after Dawn and I. Barbossa wanted that medallion necklace you gave to me the night you proposed and the blood of William Turner's child. They thought I was William Turner's child because I told them my name was Buffy Turner."
"I always thought your father would find out before a complete stranger would." He looked down at her. "It wasn't your blood they needed. It was my father's blood. My blood."
"I'm sorry Will." Buffy said the only thing she could at the moment.
"It's not your fault Buffy. Jack tried to tell me but I wouldn't listen. I did not want to believe that I carry the blood of a pirate."
"Speaking of pirate, I believe you have a story to tell me about how you got involved with Jack Sparrow."
"There's not really much of a story. Willow, Xander, and I made deal with him that he told us or took us to where you were, he could have his freedom. We went to Tortuga to find a crew and I overheard him tell Gibbs that he could use me as leverage to get his ship the Black Pearl back. I played along until I saw Barbossa with the knife and decided to make my move. I hit him with an oar and knocked him cold and left."
They lay their quietly for a little longer before Will got up. Buffy admired his back side as he reached for his pants. A lustful smile was on her face when Will turned around.
"That will be quite enough of that. If we don't make an appearance soon they'll come looking for us."
"I know but you are just so irresistible." Buffy licked her lips.
"You know if we could I'd stay in bed with you. I'm going to go get some water and something to wrap your hand."
He went back over and kissed her quickly before going to find his supplies.
