Jack put the eyeglass back up to his eye and seen the white flag being run up on the other Pirate ship.
"Arm 'he guns and be ready fer anythign." Jack called out to the crew and the crew set to work. He turned to me and handed me his pistol. "Take 'his and go lock yerself in our cabin. Shoot anyone who gets through that door." He looked serious. I wasn't about to question what he wanted me to do either. I took the pistol and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him deeply.
"I love you Jack. Becareful." I stated simply he smiled at me and winked kissing my cheek.
"Are ye kiddin' luv. Ye be talkin' to the famous Cap'n Jack Sparrow." He winked then turned me toward the stairs and gave my butt a playful, gentle smack. I smiled and looked at him one last time then descended the stairs and ran to the cabin. I hadn't realized how fast we had come upon the ship. I went into the cabin shutting the door behind me and locking it.
Jack stared at the ship and walked down onto the main deck. How could this be? Barbossa was supposed to be dead. How could he be alive? How could he have a ship? Jack figured he'd find out soon enough. The ships were brought side by side and a gangplank joined the two ships. Barbossa stepped onto the gangplank and crossed over onto the Pearl. Something just didn't quite register here. Something wasn't right, but Jack couldn't figure it out.
"Captain Sparrow?" Asked the man. It looked like Barbossa, but it didn't sound like him one bit.
"Aye. And who might ye be?" He asked raising an eyebrow at the stranger. The stranger closed the gap between them.
"I be Darso. I am the Son of Captain Barbossa. I believe this was his ship and I have come to claim her." Darso stated seriously. Jack's mouth dropped and a smile claimed his lips. He couldn't believe his eyes. It was the second most feared Captain compared to him. Captain Darso. Jack stuck out his hand and let Darso shake it.
"It be nice ta meet the son o' me ex-first mate." Jack stated a look of pure amusement on his face. Darso pulled his hand away and reached for his sword.
"I will be more than willin' ta fight ye fer 'er." He stated pure anger in his voice. He raised his sword to the sky and his men started to bombard the Pearl. Cannons started to fire and men were crossing blades all around the two. Jack lazily pulled out his sword and gave his trade mark smile.
"Ye think it wise boy. Crossing blades with a real Pirate." Darso was pissed at jack's words and came at him.
"How dare ye. I 'ave every 'ight to be called a Pirate. Just as much as ye do, ye lazy scum." Jack smiled wider.
"Do ye now?" Jack raised an eyebrow. He brought his sword down only to have it blocked. Darso was a good fighter but Jack had a little secret. Jack stepped back and nodded to Darso. "Not bad, but let's see how you do when I use my real sword fighting hand." Darso's face went from smiles to frowns of concern. It had been tough for Darso to keep up with Jack when he used his Left hand, but now he was switching to his right hand, which he claimed, was better. Darso got into position and awaited the attack. Jack circled around swinging the sword in his right hand.
"Ye 'hink ye're so good, but ye're not." Darso said trying to scare Jack. Jack just laughed and kept circling.
I sat in the Cabin as instructed waiting to hear that the coast was clear. I thought that is what I was going to hear until I heard the clanging of metal and the cannons firing. I felt each hit to the ship, the ship rocked unsteadily. Suddenly the door handle started to jiggle and I heard men's voices. I stood from the chair and loaded the pistol.
"Please Jack. Please come soon." I whispered and suddenly the door swung open, only to reveal three men and many more to follow. I stood and aimed the pistol. "Stay out of here or I'll shoot." I stated in my most fierce voice I could bring up. The men looked at each other with mock amusement, and the one that had opened the door took two steps into the room. I let a shot ring out from the pistol and it struck the man square in the heart. The first man fell lifeless on the floor.
"I told you!" I screamed. The men looked at their accomplish who lay dead on the floor. The two that were left looked at each other and ran toward me. I hadn't had enough time to ready the gun for another. The first man grabbed the gun and as we fought for the gun I had forgot all about the other man who had un-sheathed his cutlass. He grabbed one of my arms and had it behind my back, he placed the cutlass at my throat and told me to walk.
Jack jumped at Darso and they started to spar. Darso was just no match for Jack, Jack had him cornered against the side of the Pearl. In a matter of seconds Jack was able to disarm Darso and had his cutlass at Darso's throat.
"I just 'ave one question fer ye." Jack smiled and looked him in the eye. "Are ye willin' to die fer 'he Pearl?" Darso looked over Jack's shoulder and seen His men come out of his cabin with a girl. Darso Smiled wickedly.
"Maybe I 'ould be askin' ye 'hat question Capt'n. Are you willin' ta let yer girl die?" Jack looked over his shoulder to see me being held at sword point.
"Let our Cap'n go and we'll return ta our ship. Ye refuse ta let 'im go, the pretty little lassie 'ere will die." Everyone's attention was now drawn to Jack. Jack looked at me and knew that they weren't going to let me go. Jack stepped away from their Cap'n and mouthed the words.
"I'll find ye." As I was drug over the gang plank and onto the other ship.
