1 o'clock in the morning seems like a good time to update, eh?
Again, apologies for the late-ness. I've been so busy it's just insane. It's a surprise that I'm still alive. My patient reviewers never fail to drop me a line:
16aqua: Lost is the BEST! I was crying my eyes out the entire episode when Boone died and about half an hour afterwards. And I was sobbing my heart out when Charlie was strung up. Charlie is my favourite character. I named the puppy after him.
Little Miss Sparrow: being immortal would be awesome for a short period of time. Glad you like Magical Trevor!
Starpossum: I'm glad you think the interaction is good because that's the hardest bit to think about. Yay, more Lost fans!
Phan-wrighter: Glad you like it!
Star Fata: It's a talent of hers (or mine) I guess
MethosMacLeod: short attentions span, dearie
Nemi Jade: it's terrifying, isn't it?
Captain Blackett: "stretchin' it out towards the end…" is it that obvious?
Wow, look at all them! I feel loved!
ON WITH THE STORY!
Most of Barbossa's crew had left, leaving Amy, Jack, Will, a few pirates and Barbossa himself in the cave. Amy was no longer being restrained.
Jack was rummaging through the treasure, examining pieces of it.
"I must admit Jack, I though I had ya figured," Barbossa said, sitting on a mound of gold, "Turns out, you're a hard man to predict,"
"Me? I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest, honestly." Jack said, lobbing a gold statue over his shoulder.
Amy raised her eyebrows, oddly enough, that made perfect sense.
"It's the honest ones you've got to watch out for," Jack continued, "you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly…stupid."
Jack pulled a sword out of the scabbard of a pirate, pushed him in the water and tossed the sword to Will, who caught it.
Amy jumped out of the way of all the commotion as Jack and Barbossa began to fight. Will spun around as the pirate slashed his sword and his bindings were cut.
Amy wasn't quite sure what to do. She leapt onto a rock to watch Jack fight.
Jack cut the feather off Barbossa's hat with a triumphant "Ha ha!"
"Jack, now you've done it!" Amy yelled as Barbossa fought back, furiously. She was so preoccupied that she didn't even notice Jacoby come up behind her.
"Amy!" Will called out.
Amy spun around to see Jacoby in front of her, his sword raised. She ducked as it swung across her head. She rolled on the floor, behind him and grabbed his ankles, tugging them. Jacoby fell to the ground.
Amy took the opportunity to scramble to her feet and run off.
She did a double-take as she noticed something. The moonlight pouring into the cave from a hole in the roof of it was hitting her hand. Heart pounding, she lifted it. It had turned skeletal and her sleeve was tattered. She gazed at it for a few seconds before swiftly pulling it out of the light.
Amy looked up to where Barbossa and Jack were fighting. She stood watching them for a second and then, suddenly Jack ran his sword through Barbossa's stomach.
"Well, that won't do much good," Amy muttered.
Barbossa wrenched out the sword and shoved it into Jack's stomach. Even though Amy was expecting this, she almost fell over from shock. She stood shaking as
Jack backed up into the moonlight. He turned skeletal.
Will stood watching, also shocked. He didn't even notice one of the pirates come up behind him.
Snapping into action, Amy grabbed a gold plate from a nearby pile of treasure. She ran over to them. She swung it at the pirate with all the strength she had. He collapsed backwards with a carefree expression on his face.
Will looked mildly surprised.
"Thanks," he said.
"No problem," Amy replied, "Pay attention next time!"
She ran off, whacking another pirate on the head as she did so.
Jack ran past her yelling "Sorry!"
Barbossa ran after Jack, elbowing Amy in the stomach as he past. Amy dropped to her knees, clutching her stomach.
"Oww, my spleen!" she groaned. After a few seconds recovering, Amy was back on her feet.
She skidded to a halt as she saw Jacoby in front of her…holding a lit bomb. Amy screamed as she dived into a mound of gold, away from it.
There was a great KABOOM and treasure went flying.
Amy emerged to see Will on the ground and Jacoby standing above him.
"I'm gonna teach you the meaning of pain!" He growled.
"You like pain?" said a voice, hitting Jacoby with a long golden pole, "try wearing a corset,"
It was Elizabeth. She offered the golden pole to Will, who took it and was hauled up from the ground.
Amy grabbed a pearl necklace from a pile of gold. Running over to one of the pirates, she threw it over his neck and tugged it. The pirate made a gurgling, choking sound and fell to his knees. Amy launched herself on his back and sat on it.
Elizabeth whacked a pirate with the golden pole, Amy watching.
Jacoby took the opportunity to slash Amy's arm with his sword. Amy gasped as pain flooded through her arm.
"You!" She growled at him, "You filthy cheating scum!"
Grabbing Will's sword, she chased after him .
"Amy!" Elizabeth yelled,
Amy turned around, and Elizabeth ran through his skeletal stomach with the golden pole, along with two other pirates. They stood together, skewered.
"Hehe, they look like a kebab!" Amy giggled.
She noticed Elizabeth and Will looking at her in a very strange way. She looked down at herself. The moonlight was hitting her whole body, which had turned skeletal and decayed.
"You never told me you had one!" Will said.
"Didn't I?"
Will shook his head.
"Musta slipped me mind," Amy shrugged.
Will pulled out a bomb, lit it and shoved it inside Jacoby's chest.
He, Amy and Elizabeth shoved the pirate-kebab out of the moonlight. Jacoby scrabbled at his chest for a moment. "No fair!" he whined.
They ran away just as the bomb went off. Elizabeth stumbled and Amy ran past her. She shoved her hand in her pocket and brought out the medallion.
Amy ran up the mountain of treasure to where Will was standing. He picked up the knife that Barbossa used and cut the palm of his hand. He shoved the knife towards Amy, who also slit her hand. She pressed the coin to her cut and handed it to Will. Jack threw his coin up to Will, who caught it.
Barbossa held his gun towards Elizabeth and cocked it.
Elizabeth stopped dead in her tracks.
There was a sudden gunfire. The sound echoed around the cave. Barbossa looked at Jack, who was holding his gun towards Barbossa, smoke rising from the end of it. Amy looked at Jack. He was the most serious she had ever seen him.
"Ten years you carry that pistol and now you waste your shot!" Barbossa smiled.
"He didn't waste it," Will said, opening his fist and letting the three medallions fall into the chest.
Barbossa dropped his sword and opened his jacket. Blood was blossoming from the gunshot wound, staining his shirt red.
Jack lowered the pistol, still with his serious face.
"I feel," Barbossa breathed, "cold,"
He dropped to the ground, the apple he was holding in his fist rolled away.
For once, Amy didn't say anything. She clutched onto Will's shirt to stop herself from shaking. There was a horrible silence.
"Ok, I think I'm disturbed now," Amy announced, climbing shakily down from the mound.
"It's probably not a good thing to let someone my age see such a thing," she said, wandering over to Jack.
"Probably not," he said, weaving his way towards some treasure.
She followed him, "Don't you care that I may be mentally disturbed?"
"I think you were mentally disturbed before you saw that," Jack said, lobbing bits of gold over his shoulder.
Amy threw some pearls round her neck as Jack plopped a jewelled crown on his head.
Amy nudged Jack and nodded towards Will and Elizabeth who were talking.
"I think the lovebird's got a broken wing," she whispered to him.
Jack scooped up some treasure and walked over to Will.
"If you were waiting for the opportune moment," he told him, "That was it. Now if you'd be so kind, I'd be much obliged if you'd drop me off my ship,"
Amy giggled at Will's forlorn expression and followed Jack out of the cave. It was now Jack's turn to be forlorn; the Black Pearl had gone.
Oh, dear. We're almost done! Only one more chapter.
It nearly killed me to write this one. The fight is so fast-paced that I had to rewind it about a thousand times when I was watching it.
Anyway, REVIEW LIKE CRAZY!
With love
