chapter 12

The howling winds and roaring waves all around them made the ocean a monster, desiring the fresh meat of the pirates on the Black Pearl. Jackie was trying to pull ropes to fasten the sails before they got too damaged and all the other pirates helped him. Jackie looked up at the helm and saw Jack trying to steer. He went up and tried to push the helm, but it was too hard. Then, behind him, a white figure pushing the helm like him.

"Lizzie?" he said. The three of them pushed the helm until Jack signaled to stop. Lizzie had dissappeared and a wave sent Jackie overboard. A hand was felt around his ankle, Jack was saving Jackie.

"Thank you!" Jackie yelled over the winds, but a great gust of wind blew Jack away. Jackie was trying to climb his lifeline, but it wasn't strong. His lifeline broke and he fell into the claws of the monster. He kept sinking like a rock until he was only a few feet above the darkness.

"So, this is how it ends for me. Drowning in an ocean in the sixteen hundreds, without seeing Lizzie." he thought

"You're really giving up that easily?" said a familiar voice. Then, he saw it. The white figure in front of him, Lizzie.

"I can't do it. I'm not strong enough to save myself. I need help, Your help." Jackie thought

"No you don't. You need to trust me." she said. She held out her hand. He steadily swam towards it, while she was swimming away. When they reached above the water, he used all his strength to chase her hand. He chased it, until it disappeared when it reached the Pearl. Jackie saw steps and small hinges. He climbed the steps and banged on a large piece of wood that was beneath the hinges, it was a cannon door.

"Open up! It's me! Jackie!" he yelled while banging. After a couple of minutes of banging and yelling, the door opened and a hand grabbed his arm and pulled him in past the cannon. Jackie layed face up on the ground coughing out water and smiled at the fact that he was alive.

"Thank you, Lizzie." he softly said, without knowing of the eyes watching him.

Davvy Jones was climbung down from his room to a cell with one small suspended captive inside, Lizzie. When he opened the door and went in, all the candles lit and Lizzie slowly began to awake. He went up to her, slapped her, punched her, and stabbed her in the stomach a couple times, too.

"What's wrong Davvy, did things not go according to plan?" she asked him as he was leaving. He stopped as he reached the door and turned towards her.

"You Whelp! You should know just what happened during the storm." he said

"But, I don't. I've been stuck here for the entire time."

"Don't think of me as a fool. I watched the Sparrows. When Jackie was in the water drowning, something, or someone saved him. Then, when he was safe and sound on the ship, he uttered the words, thank you Lizzie."

"I was here the whole time, you squid faced freak! I think I was with him in spirit! I dwell in his heart and you can never take me from him!" she yelled. Davvy snapped his fingers and the chains around her wrists, ankles, and stomach vanished and she fell face first on the solid ground.

"You insignificant whelp." he said, hovering over her.

"That's it! Ever since I got her, I was called whelp, but no more!" she said while grabbing her sword, "Would you care to have a rematch? No dirty tricks, no cheating!"

"But if I can't cheat, then it's no fun to defeat you." he said in an evil chuckle. The two lunged and began a great sword fight. When someone had an opening, the other would take it and attack. Lizzie saw a sword in a corner. She sweeped beneath his feet and made him fall to the ground. She ran over to the sword and Davvy was running after her. As he was going to slash her, she held up both her swords and they held their own, for a moment. With a second sword, she started, fighting faster and harder. She fought him into a corner and sent his sword flying to another corner with one good swipe and held both swords inches away from his face.

"How do you like being defeated by a whelp?" she said

"Name your terms." he said. She sheathed her swords and went over to get his.

"I want you to leave Jack and Jackie alone!" she said as she rushed over to him with his sword inches away from his face.

"But Jack owes me a soul, his soul. We made a deal." Davvy said

"Well, can't his soul be replaced by anothers?"

"No, Jack's diabolical and cruel soul is rare, and I want it for my own, before it's too late." An idea instantly popped into her head.

"What if we give you an even worse soul?"

"Oh really. Whos?"

"Um... how about Captain Barbossa?"

"Hmmmm, Barbossa you say. How is he alive?"

"He's under the curse of the Aztec Gold. Anyway, we'll give you his soul and you will forever leave Jackie and Jack alone. Deal?"

"Wait. I want one of the Sparrows to give me his soul within two days. One of them must throw him into the ocean and call the kraken."

"Okay. Deal?"

"What if you don't give me his soul?"

"If I don't? I will...i will...I will give you my soul."

"So, the deal is that one of the Sparrows gives me Barbossas soul within two days. If so, the deals off and I will forever leave the Sparrows alone. If not, you're willing to give your own soul to save their lives."

"Do we have a deal, or not?" Lizzie held out her right hand.

"Deal." Davvy went to shake her hand. When they shook, Davvy was doing something painful to Lizzies hand. She was falling to her knees and was struggling to break free from his grasp. When she did, there was a small light in Davvys hand. The light slowly formed a small wooden doll that looked like Lizzie.

"This holds a piece of your soul to make sure you go with the deal. Oh, and another thing. He's on Isla de Muerta." he said. Lizzie fainted and fell to the ground and like before, her world went dark.
