Chapter 3.
Jack winced as his bonds were tightened and the ropes rubbed roughly against his wrists.
"Where's Leeza? What have you done with her you great old ugly brute!" Jack shouted at Barbossa, despite the circumstances.
Barbossa smiled menacingly and nodded towards Barbara, who stood next to the door that led to the brig, in which Leeza lay in her drugged sleep.
Jack's eyes shifted quickly at Barbara and his lip curled in disgust. "Oh, dear god, no…" He muttered to himself. "You… turned Leeza… into… into that? You sick bastard!" Jack bellowed.
"Not her, you dunce! The door!" Barbossa shouted back in annoyance. "Your rude daughter is in there. Knocked out. And I expect she'll be waking up soon. Pintel, Twigg!" He snapped at the two nearest pirates. "Go check on little miss Sparrow, will you? And if she's waken bring her on up."
"Aye, Captain." The pirates responded, heading off to open to door.
Jack watched the darkened stairway anxiously, waiting to finally see Leeza and be sure she was all right.
00000000000000000000
Leeza was back on the Pearl with Jack and Seamus and the crew. But there was a raging thunderstorm. Everyone was scrambling round the slippery deck trying to keep the ship in control.
One of the sails had become tangled so Leeza was climbing up the post to fix it. The furious rain was beating on her face and her hair and clothes were soaked through and through. She reached the tangled sail but the ship had given a sudden sharp jerk and Leeza found herself falling, falling towards the brutal dark gray sea in which huge waves were lashing every way.
She screamed for Jack to help her, but no one could. Then, somehow someone had grasped her hand.
She looked up at the person, Pintel was grinning at her with his ugly teeth.
"Wake up, poppet. Wake up," He kept saying over and over again. "Wake up…"
Leeza suddenly jerked awake and gasped sharply. She could still feel the coldness of being soaked with the rain of the storm. But she wasn't on the Pearl, nor was she feet from falling into a mad gray sea.
She was in the brig she'd been locked into… a few minutes ago? Hours ago? Days ago? Who knew? She didn't, that was for sure.
"Wh-… Where am I?" Leeza demanded groggily, trying to sit up but her arms felt like lead and collapsed beneath her. She tried to open her eyes but everything was blurry. She tried to make sense of everything, she tried to be able to see what was happening, but it was impossible. She started crying out of frustration and screaming as she felt herself being hauled up by her arms.
"Where am I! Who are you? No… I want my father," She started sobbing like mad. "I want Jack, papa… what's happening…?"
"Leeza!" She heard a voice call. She stopped crying for a second, breathing unevenly and sniffling staring into blurred black and brown color with a light of blue at the top.
"Papa!" She screamed, choking back a sob as her vision started to clear up a bit.
"Leeza!" The voice called again. It was Jack, she just knew it was him.
"Papa!" Leeza hadn't called him papa since she was little and scared of the dark, but now, she felt just as vulnerable and scared as she might have back then.
"Leeza! Barbossa, what did you do to her!" Leeza didn't think she'd ever heard her father as angry as he was now. She felt warmth hit her as the sun came into view and she was set down on the deck.
"Nothing, Capitaine, she was giving us so much trouble we had to knock her out with some drug powerful enough, this one knows how to put up a fight, just like her old man, eh?" Barbossa taunted.
Jack scowled at him and watched Leeza rub her eyes, trying to clear up her vision quicker.
"Ye might want to spend as much time as you both have got together, Jack. We're taking you back to the island and this time there's no escape." Barbossa smirked, as pirates started untying Jack's knots to free him from his bonds for the time being.
Leeza's vision had finally completely cleared and then Jack came into focus. "Papa!" She screamed, scrambling to her feet and running to his comforting embrace. She started crying again as he stroked her hair. "They're going to kill us aren't they? We're going to die, or I'm never going to see you again."
"Shh, shh, its ok, I'm here now. You know you're old man, I'll find us a way out of this." Jack hushed her, glaring at Barbossa who merely smirked in a taunting way.
Leeza opened her eyes to look at Seamus, who was still tied up. She broke out of Jack's arms to hug him, even though he couldn't hug back. "Seamus! Oh, look what they've done to all you."
Seamus just smirked. "I'm fine. Told you I'd end up in trouble some day because of you." He joked.
She laughed shortly, her eyes tearing up again. What were they going to do? She couldn't just let them be marooned and left to die.
Suddenly, Leeza felt quite braver. The crying little girl, screaming for her papa she had been minutes ago seemed to have disappeared. She stood up tall and defiant, leering at Barbossa.
"Let them go," She said between clenched teeth, her hands balled into fists at her sides.
Barbossa and all the pirates cackled with laughter.
She took a few intimidating steps towards him. "I mean it," She warned. "Let them go!"
"With all do respect miss, what difference could a wee child like yourself make against a whole crew of full grown pirates?"
Leeza glared at him as he started laughing again, his cronies joining in. She moved her hand to her hilt in anger, only to find her sword wasn't there.
"Lookin' for this, poppet?" Pintel mused, swinging her sword by the hilt.
His teasing grin was probably what angered Leeza the most. She leered dangerously at him. Then, foolishly and out of anger she launched herself at Pintel and knocked him to the ground. She started blindly swinging at him, hitting any inch of him she could reach as he attempted to hold her off and pirates started swarming around her.
They grasped her arms and hoisted her, with difficulty off of Pintel as she tried to fight their tugging and continue taking swings at him.
Once they'd finally got her off him, they threw her in the other direction, roughly to the hard wood deck. Leeza grunted as she landed, and then scowled, lifting herself up and glaring at them.
She hadn't realized but while they were trying to pull her off of Pintel, Jack had become involved in the fight, attempting to get them to take their hands off of Leeza.
But, after the legendary pirate had knocked a few pirates in the face with his fist, he'd finally been seized and put under control.
"Looks to me like the both of them ain't worth trustin'. Tie 'em up, lads." Barbossa ordered. "We're near the island anyways."
Leeza averted her gazed in the direction everyone else was looking. There, close to the horizon was a small island, yellow sands and green, tall palm trees blowing in the gentle breeze.
Two pirates grabbed her roughly under the arms and hoisted her up while another held her hands together behind her back and tied a tight knot around her wrists.
"Get all the others ready for marooning, lads. Except… that one, the dark woman, she stays on board with Elizabeth." Barbossa said.
Leeza looked at Ana Maria, who looked shocked as well as angry at being called 'the dark woman'.
Ana Maria met her gaze, but, much to Leeza's dismay, she didn't see the mischievous glint in her eyes that told her the older woman had a plan. They were both helpless and without a plan or any idea what to do.
She was hauled up and thrown in Leeza's direction to land with a thud beside her.
"Ouch… great brutes…" Ana Maria cursed under her breath, rubbing her rear end.
Leeza smiled momentarily, she knew Ana Maria hated being treated any less tough than a man could be. She would probably rather be marooned on the island with the others than kept on this ship because she was a woman.
They were lined up, one by one, Jack in the front.
Seamus glanced at Leeza and thought that he would miss her terribly as there was a good chance he would never see her again. Then, he caught sight of Barbossa's menacing eyes gazing at him and he tried to pull off an emotionless face, staring straight ahead.
But Barbossa had already caught on, and he smirked, glancing at the girl who sat beside the dark skinned woman. He stepped forwards and grasped Seamus' shoulder.
"I think," Barbossa announced, the smile never leaving his face. "That this one," He pushed Seamus towards the plank and drew his sword. "Will go first."
"Seamus!" Leeza gasped, trying to get up and move toward him.
"Hold her back, lads." Barbossa commanded, and he cackled with laughter as Leeza fought hopelessly against the pirates who were holding her steady, tears springing into her eyes.
They pushed her back on the ground and tied the rope holding her wrists together to a metal loop protruding out of the wooden wall behind her. Leeza fought against the ropes, twisting her wrists around and groaning in pain, trying to free herself, tears of frustrtion running down her cheeks.
"Just give it up lassie, there's nothing you can do now…" Ana Maria said softly.
Leeza looked at her and stopped struggling, but let out a sob of mourning.
Ana Maria moved closer to her, though her hands were tied together in the front she gently wiped away the tears. "Shh, don't show weakness."
"But I can't do anything, Ana… It's not fair… I don't want to let this be done to them…"
"I know, I know, child. But there's nothing we can do, now. Just trust Jack, he told you he'd find a way." She replied. "And so will we," She added in a whisper.
Leeza looked at her strangely, but Ana Maria just winked at her.
"Off you go, lad," Barbossa ordered, jabbing his sword towards Seamus.
Seamus moved out of the sword's way and glanced up at Leeza. Then, he got an idea. If he had to go, he wanted to at least leave his little sister a good last memory of him. He turned towards the edge of the plank, a grin playing on his face as he looked back at her.
Leeza narrowed her eyes. 'What's he doing?' She thought.
Seamus started off at a run and then jumped off the edge of the plank, diving head-first and doing a clumsy half flip before he hit the water, yelling "Aaahhhhhh!" as he did so.
Leeza's mouth widened in disbelief and she scoffed, then, shook her head a smile playing at the corners of her lips.
000000000000000000000
Leeza was wading in the ocean water alone and peacefully. The sun shone off the calm water's surface, which barely rippled. It was a beautiful morning and Jack still hadn't hoisted the anchor, so, Leeza had decided she would take a dip before they headed off.
The previous afternoon, they'd set out from visiting her mother in Tortuga so they could all celebrate Elizabeth's 13th birthday as a family. Leeza had heard that a young man had boarded the Pearl with Jack's consent as a new crewmember, but she hadn't met him yet and she'd decided to go to bed early the previous night.
Just then, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of someone yelling manically and then suddenly that person had done several clumsy flips off the Pearl's railing and landed with a huge splash right in front of Leeza.
She gasped in shocked surprise, swallowing some of the salt water that was splashed into her face. Leeza started choking and couldn't stay afloat, so she reached out desperately for the rope ladder hanging on the side of the ship. After missing several times and being submerged under the water and desperately forcing herself back to the surface, Leeza finally caught hold of it and held on tightly, coughing water up.
A strawberry blonde head came to the surface and looked at her in concern. "Oh, gosh," He said in his Irish accent. "I'm sorry, lass, you all right there?"
Leeza, who couldn't stop coughing like mad, shook her head, whilst glaring at him.
The young man swam over to her and patted her on the back, hard.
She looked at him as if he was crazy as she started coughing even worse. But after she'd given two great, forceful coughs, helped by his patting, coughed up the rest of the water in her lungs and taken a gasp for air, she was grateful he'd done it.
He gave a goofy smile. "Better now?"
"Yeah," Leeza breathed, taking deep breaths of air. "You must be the new crewmember." She stated.
The young Irish man, whose cheeks were covered in light orange freckles, which were barely visible against his pale complexion, straightened himself up best as he could in the water and smiled. "That I am, miss. The name's Seamus, and, dare I say, you look mighty like you could be ol' Jack Sparrow's daughter, lassie." He nodded at her.
"Maybe because I am…" Leeza replied, looking at him strangely and raising an eyebrow. "What was with flipping off the deck like a mad man and nearly killing me, though?"
Seamus shrugged. "I'd suppose I'm still a wee bit buzzed off the many shots of tequila I took late last night." He grinned.
Leeza smiled. "So… you like tequilas, huh?" She asked mischievously. "Perhaps rum, the occasional whiskey…"
"The whole lot," Seamus responded with the same mischievous smile.
"Hmm," Leeza smirked. "Then, I'm guessing we'll get along just fine." She grinned.
Seamus grinned back, and from that moment on, they were best friends.
00000000000000
Leeza grinned remembering that day she'd first met Seamus. She was grateful she had as she didn't know what kind of person she'd be without him in her life.
Barbossa looked over the edge as Seamus came back to the surface, shaking the water out of his hair and whooping.
"Stupid little git," He muttered to himself, scoffing, then looking back at the other men waiting to be loaded off the ship and into the water. "Well, get a move on!"
One after the other, Leeza watched the men that had pretty much raised her on board the Pearl be pushed off the plank into the ocean to be marooned on an island they wouldn't be able to survive on for long. Each had played a role in her life and made her who she was, it hurt her so much to see them go.
Then, it came down to the last man to be marooned. Jack…
He looked at Leeza with mournful eyes as her eyes widened and her heart started aching worse than it ever had…
