Misty's Point of View


Elizabeth, Tessi and I were pulled onto the Black Pearl by a man who was strong, tall and had a dark tan to him, almost burnt. He had a mean look on his face and he reeked of not bathing. It was weird, Jack never smelt gross like these pirates did. Probably because their dead and their forever in decomposition, poor bastards, no wonder they want the curse to be broken. I wouldn't want to stink like that either. Elizabeth continued to kick and scream and she even tried to bite once, Tessi resorted to flicking him in the forehead and I resorted to my usual: berating them. It was my specialty. Ah, yes, the Swann sisters and their fighting ways.

I scratched the man in the face, "You are so stupid you make a rock look smart!" I screamed at him, Tessi snorted, I could tell what she was thinking "I could come up with a better insult then that." At the moment I didn't really care and I kept on with my lame and less then stellar insults.

He threw all three of us on the deck, I stood up along with Tessi, Elizabeth was last to rise, I had to admit, it was good to see her again even if we didn't always get along. I want to hug her. Wait, I want to hug Elizabeth, the snob….I think I've had a bit too much sun.

He pushed us into a group of pirates and in no time their grimy and stinky hands were all over us, I felt so violated and so gross. One ran his hand over my breast I smacked him which earned me a pinch on my butt. Tessi was also disgusted, they reminded me and maybe Tessi too of the old-want-a-last-kick-and-a-pretty-governor's-daughter Suitors our Father used to make us dance with. I kicked one in the shin and heard him howl, Tessi looked over at me, "Nice." She whispered grinning, even Elizabeth was grinning.

They were still fighting over on theInterceptor but the ship was slowly falling apart, Will was stuck inside the ship, and I felt bad for him. I wasn't sure he was going to make it I could tell Elizabeth felt sad but that was it and I was strongly wondering why. After all, didn't she love Will?

Elizabeth felt she needed to say something to prove that she did love him even though I was starting to have my doubts, "Will." She whispered, Jack was being carried over to the ship, he had almost had the medallion but Jack the monkey, which I thought was adorable, had taken it before Jack the sometimes-human, could get to it.

Anamaria looked at us and sighed, Ana was a cool pirate and I often liked to talk to her because we had stuff in common in certain areas, although it was hard not to like Ana. I could tell she was upset after all Jack had said she could have theInterceptor in payment for the ruined ship he stole.

Barbossa had the rest of the crew tied to a pole, it reminded me of Peter Pan a story that our Nanny use to tell us when we were young, I enjoyed it a lot along with Elizabeth who was also interested in pirates, however it put Tessi to sleep which I guess was the point of the Nanny telling it to us, of course this was in 2005.

I grinned a little; Tessi was so unique in so many ways. A fat, gross and stout pirate that was nearly bald and looked like he hadn't bathed since the day he was born; pointed a gun at everyone with a small scowl on his face, "If anyone of you such as thinks the word, 'parley' I'll have you're guts for garters!" He said roughly, obviously the man didn't like the word parley.

And me, being well, me, I just had to annoy him, it was something I enjoyed doing to people: annoying them. I smirked, "Parley." I said smirking, but it was wiped off my face when he took his free hand and smacked me.

"Ow." I muttered, Tessi leaned over, "That's what you get for trying to annoy people in situations like this." She said smirking somewhat.

Captain Barbossa grinned showing his rotten teeth, his beard looked pathetic and his clothes were moth eaten and gross, "Now, now Pintel. That's not how to treat a lady." He said sickly.

I frowned, a few hours ago, I was a whore. We all looked over and soon theInterceptor blew up into pieces all fell in the ocean. My heart sank, even if I had lost my feelings for Will he was my friend. He had been on the ship I looked over at Tessi whose face was also crestfallen.

Elizabeth looked sorrowful. "Will!" She looked angry I couldn't blame her I was as well. If Barbossa and his crew had been smart enough to know that Elizabeth was a Swann and not a Turner and had not have taken her we wouldn't be in this mess. If there had been no curse at all. But I knew I could spend my whole life saying, "What if," or, "If I could change that." But it would get me nowhere. Our friend had just been killed, and all these changes were happening, and somehow I was taking it better then I thought.

Elizabeth ran forward, "You've got to stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" She kept repeating wrestling Barbossa in a panic and to my anger he only smirked at her and pushed her away in amusement.

"Welcome back Miss." He started mockingly, "You took advantage of our hospitality last time," He continued making me snort. I had no clue they were hospitable, "It holds fair now that you return that favor." He said shoving her towards the crew, they grabbed a hold of her and she was separated from Tessi and me.

Tessi looked at me, I could tell it in her eyes because it was the same way I was feeling at this moment, that right now at this moment we forgave Elizabeth for every hurtful thing she ever said, for everything she ever did wrong to us. At this moment all we wanted was to make sure our little sister was safe.

After all, she was our little sister and I daresay that even as bad and mean as she was, we weren't the best to her all the time either we could be just as bad.

Just as I was about to scream let her go! Someone hopped up on top of the railing to the ship, Tessi and I looked over and smirked, Will's hero complex must have kicked in, he looked over at Anamaria first before Elizabeth and they exchanged glances, I raised an eyebrow but I was surprised he had survived.

"Will." I heard Elizabeth whisper again, she must really love his name. Oooh, look a birdie in the sky, how pretty, whoa… I looked down and bird crap fell on the deck, maybe it wasn't so pretty.

My mind was wandering, which surprised me that was Tessi's job, I looked over and noticed that Pintel's eyebrow was in the wrong way and made him look like a total retard.

I looked over at the pirate behind me he had some sort of gold in his shirt pocket. Oooh, I thought I twisted my body to reach in and get it but he slapped my hand, "Hands off strumpet." He said glaring I turned around and pouted, "Bloody Pirates."

I wondered if when we get back if we'll be exiled from Port Royal, but maybe if I cry at Daddy's feet he'll let me stay, Tessi and I are good at that, it works every time. He was a sucker for Tessi's and my puppy eyes.

I was interrupted from my musing when I heard, "What's you're head boy!" It was the idiotic and gross Barbossa looking like he was this great pirate Captain that knew all the moves and Will was some little boy that had a plastic sword.

I sniggered Will would go well playing that part. I kept my thoughts to myself as I knew I might be ravaged by Elizabeth if she knew I thought that. I sniggered again earning a curious glance from Tessi.

Will cocked a gun at Barbossa, I rolled my eyes. Was the boy daft? The pirates couldn't be killed what part of that could he not understand? The "couldn't" or "killed"? "She goes free!" He barked as if Barbossa was going to cower at him.

Barbossa only grinned wider, "You've only got one shot and we can't die." Wow, I guess I can agree with the stinky villain.

"She? What about Tessi and me Sherlock?" I asked looking at him glaring with my hands on my hips, Tessi glared at him as well.

He only turned back I obviously had pissed him off with, "I hate you!" and Tessi must have done something to piss him off, I looked over at her, "Well I know he's pissed at me because I said I hated him after he whacked me in the head," I began.

"Which probably did some good," Tessi said smirking before quickly adding, "I was just kidding." She said at my death glare.

I rolled my eyes, "So what did you do?" I asked.

She shrugged, "Chewed him out for leaving you and Jack." She said, "And now we'll pay, either that or he has a plan in mind."

I scoffed, "This is Will. A boy who thought a trip to the docks was an adventure." I said rolling my eyes but smiling, he was a dork, a nice dork, but a dork at that.

Jack sighed and put his hands together in a prayer motion, "Please, PLEASE don't do anything stupid." Jack said.

I cleared my throat, "Jack, this is Will, stupid is his middle name." I said jokily, obviously he didn't take it that way. Good Lord, I swear the boy has a stick up his arse.

Will glared and turned back to Barbossa, "You can't but, I can." He said.

I shook my head, "How's that for stupid Jack." Said a voice, it was Tessi she was clearly annoyed with how he seemed to be acting. After all he knew Tessi and I only joked with him.

Jack nodded, "Like that."

Barbossa frowned and shook his head, "Who are you?" He asked glaring at him as if this was taking up his valuable time in Pirating.

Jack ran out of the Pirates grip, "No one. He's no one. A distant cousin of my aunt's nephew twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though...eunuch." Jack rambled on, I grinned that was a terrible lie, Tessi could do so much better.

Will wasn't having this non-heroicness, "I'm Will Turner," Jack winced, "My Father was Bootstrap Bill Turner," Well he's gotten use to the fact his Father was a pirate, "His blood runs in my veins!" He yelled roughly.

"YOU IDIOT," Anamaria called out lovingly, I smirked that was my Ana.

Another pirate came forward he was lanky, ugly and well it makes me wonder which parent he got it from, "It's the spitting image of ol' Bootstrap come to haunt us." He said in an unmanly voice, he sounded scared, SO THAT WAS THE PIRATE WHO SAID, "Suffered I have!", Heh, what a whimp, I thought coming back to reality.

I raised a hand, "Question: Who the hell names someone Bootstrap?" I asked I couldn't hold it in it just bothered me to name a person after a strap on a boot.

However everyone ignored me, gee I'm so loved. "On my word do as I say or I'll pull the trigger and be lost to Davey Jones Locker!" Oh if only he knew what that would mean to him later.

Barbossa smirked, "Name you're terms Mr. Turner!" He said crossing his arms, Tessi was wriggling around, I looked over and she was laughing, "You had to make the Bootstrap comment." She muttered.

I snorted, "Well someone had to darling." I said crossing my arms.

"I know doll." She said rolling her eyes at me, I smiled a little I just couldn't wipe a grin off my face today.

"Elizabeth goes free!" He said.

Elizabeth looked a little perturbed at this and Tessi and I were a little hurt, "We know that, any others?" Barbossa asked annoyed.

Jack motioned to him and Tessi and me. We also were both waving our arms around frantically, "And the crew," He said pointed at them, "They aren't to be harmed." He said looking at Anamaria.

Barbossa grinned showing his icky teeth, "Agreed."

---------

So this is what you get for being a great friend, for getting that friend out of binds. For showing them respect when all the other rich asses wouldn't. For listening to that friend go on about how that friends lovestheir sister whenthey had the biggest crush on said friend.

Yes, after all that my reward is walking the plank with Jack, Tessi and Elizabeth. Barbossa looked Tessi up and down, "You know, you're pretty, you could keep me company tonight." He said grinning sickly this made me want to stab him senseless how dare he say that about my sister.

Jack growled, "NO!" He barked, everyone was taken back by Jack's outburst but Tessi seemed unfazed by this.

Barbossa cooed, "Aw, look at this gents, he loves the little whore." He said, all of the pirates laughed at Jack, Tessi and I looked at Ana helplessly as Elizabeth went first, we could tell she was scared, she looked over the side of the plank and gulped.

It was a long fall down and not only that but what if it was shark infested? One of the pirates got too antsy and stomped a piece of wood, "Too slow!" He said deeply making Elizabeth fall in.

"Elizabeth!" Tessi and I cried out jumping after, Jack turned around and was nearly cowering, as Will screamed, "You lying Bastard! You swore she'd go free!" Barbossa looked up from Jack.

"Don't dare impugn me honor boy! I agreed she'd go free. It was you who failed to specify when or where." He turned back to Jack after the pirates had gagged Will.

"I had really hoped we were past all this." Jack said grinning a little, only problem was the impish grin didn't work on Barbossa.

Barbossa wrapped his arm around Jack, "Jack…Jack. Did ya notice? That be the same island we made you governor of on our last little trip." He said pointing behind Jack to the island.

Jack nodded, "I did notice." He said.

Barbossa continued, "Perhaps you'll be able to conjure up another miraculous escape…but I doubt it." He said taking out his sword and pointing it at Jack, "Now off you go." He said looking at Jack.

"Last time you left me with a pistol and one shot." Jack said as if it was his last hopes and that if he had his effects he'd be ok.

Barbossa put his sword down, "By the powers, you're right! Gents, where be Jack's Pistol?" He asked turning around, they handed Jack his effects, and this still didn't seem to please him.

"Since there are four of us, perhaps four pistols?" He asked Barbossa who looked at him as if he had lost his mind.

"No, you can be the gentlemen and kill the ladies." He said throwing Jack's effects into the ocean, Jack's eyes got wide and he jumped in, his hands still bound, he swam down with his legs and picked up his effects and got to the top gasping for air.

Tessi, Elizabeth and I were nearly to the island, but my legs were cold from the water, they were burning, you would think that because it was in the Caribbean that it was hot, but this was not the case.

Tessi and Elizabeth were ahead so they didn't see me struggling to keep my head above water I had never been a good swimmer. I floundered below finally giving into the pain as I heard above water, "Misty!" It was Tessi.

I opened my eyes it was pretty below the water where the sun peaked through, I saw Tessi swim below and grab me pulling me up with my small effort of help we both broke the surface gasping for air, "Why didn't you tell me you needed help!" She said glaring but sighing a little we swam the rest of the way and I collapsed on the beach along with Tessi.

"That is the second time I have had to see that man sail off with my ship." Jack said pulling some rope in looking dejected.

Tessi came and sat next to me, "I have a bone to pick with you." She said.

I looked up and raised an eyebrow, "Oh?" I asked.

"Yes, first off all," She began, "I love you, you're my sister, BUT." She said pointing a finger at me.

I groaned, "But…"

"You know you should have come with, smacked Will, but not fight with him." Tessi then smacked me on the head, "You idiot! You could have been killed!" She said crying and hugging me.

I knew this was weird, because Tessi never cried, it wasn't something she did I knew I had crossed the line. Tessi and I were close and in a way it was selfish to do that, I wasn't even thinking about how Tessi would feel. Not only that but with the trip and Jack she just was having trouble, and I knew she was tired of being the strong one all the time.

I hugged her back, "Sorry hun. I was just so mad, and I know you like Jack and I didn't want to leave without him." I explained.

She pulled away and sighed, "I know. I'm pissed at Will too. I don't know what has gotten into him." She said sighing.

I nodded, "I know." I agreed.

Elizabeth walked up to us, "Misty, I have something for you." She began, "On the night that the pirates took over I had spent sometime in yours and Tessi's room and found a drawing of a young man…" She trailed off handing me a somewhat damp piece of paper.

I opened it up and gasped, it was the man in my dream…Nicholas. And I had completely forgotten to tell Tessi. I knew she was upset with Will about something but I hadn't put my finger on it. She thought I still loved Will and with the looks he and Ana were giving each other she thought it would hurt me. I was too excited to be upset Elizabeth had gone in our room.

"Thanks Elizabeth." Which was her cue to leave, she nodded even though I know she wanted to know who it was, which I would tell her in due time.

I turned to Tessi who looked confused, "A few nights ago, I had this dream. Well actually, I've had it for a while, he use to be faceless, I could only see certain parts of him, only recently have I seen all of him." I said excitedly, "Of this man, Nicholas but I call him Nick. It was a memory. And as I have had these dreams and memories come back, I have started to…only like Will as a friend. I must have loved this man in the 1600's." I explained.

"Oh," Tessi breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought…"

"That I still lovedWill and I would be upset about Ana and his glances at each other, no. I'm not." I said.

Tessi smiled, "I'm happy for you." She said standing up.

"Yes," I replied, "I hope he still feels the same way, I've been gone for months." I commented sighing.

Tessi bent over, "He does, now. I'm going to go see if there's any fruit on the island. I'll let you know if I find any." She said walking off, I smiled and leaned back in the sand looking at the picture, and maybe life wasn't too bad.
