A/N: I didn't make you wait long for this one. I figured it would be fun to update now and see how many reviews I get today. So let me get started.
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN POTC!
When the crew was gone, I walked about and fiddled with pieces of treasure that I felt around for. Feeling the texture of the artifact was making me even more greedy. I couldn't go near Will for some random pirate was guarding him.
"So what really made you change your mind Jasmine, and come over to my side?" Barbossa asked from across the room.
"Mainly because I was sick of Jack, you were right to have marooned him Barbossa, I mean Commodore Barbossa." I replied pocketing a few gold coins.
"I thought I had ye figured Jazzy but it turns out your a hard girl to predict." He said.
"Me I'm dishonest. And a dishonest person you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're about to do something incredibly...stupid." I answered, talking like Jack normally would in one of his weird twisted sentences that no one in their right mind could comprehend. "And I'm not a girl I'm a woman."
The more I thought about it, the more the evil side of me began to take over. I wanted to become Captain and have all authority over Captain Sparrow, or previous Captain Sparrow that is. I mean I could do whatever I wanted instead of following his orders. Captain Jasmine Walsh, I like the sound of it.
Footsteps proceeded inside and echoed off the walls. Either the crew was done already or Jack had woken up from his 'nap' and was about to come in.
"What is going on?" Jack asked, sounding like he normally did when he was drunk.
I shrugged and turned back to the gold.
"Nothing."
Suddenly swords began to clash together, and I knew Jack had started a fight with Barbossa. From the sound of it, he had helped Will along as well.
"Thank you for stalling them for me Jazzy." Jack said. "Although I could have done without the head injury."
Ohh...now I was gonna kill him. He was ruining everything! I followed the sound of his voice over to where he was and made sure I was fighting him and not Barbossa. Although it was very hard not to get hit. I had to listen for the sound of the sword to tell which direction they were coming from. I didn't want my secret to be revealed just yet. It would be a much bigger surprise for everyone to find out I was immortal when I was actually supposed to die.
"He's a liar Commodore. We struck a bargin did we not?" I told Barbossa.
"Aye, and the promise of a woman is worth more than a promise of a man who has been lying his whole life."
I pushed Jack forward so that he crashed into Barbossa and sent them both tumbling down the staircase and into a mound of gold.
"Ye can't beat me Jack." Barbossa told him.
I sighed, already bored with this. Jack didn't know I was immortal and neither did Barbossa. That would be my advantage either way. I jumped down after them and did my best to try and hit Jack. I ended up tripping and crashed into William.
"What do you think your doing?" He demanded. "It actually looks like your trying to hurt Jack."
I laughed fiendishly, "Yeah, actually I am."
I got up and made my way back over to Jack.
"Come on Jasmine, remember all the good times you had?"
I stopped and thought about it. Sure Jack and I had our ups and downs, but was it really worth it to go back with him and try to start over again. Living with Jack was like being on a never ending rollar coaster. Did I want to go back to that or did I want my freedom and be able to be the Captain of my own ship and order Jack to do my bidding.
"Well Jasmine, who's side are you on?" Barbossa growled.
"Will's going up to the chest love. Give me the coin with your blood." Jack whispered into my ear. "Think of what Bootstrap would want."
Now was the moment of truth. I could have the whole world, but I would be letting down all the people that cared about me and defended me their whole lives. Was it really worth the life of a man who was almost my father? And what of Bootstrap. Jack was right, I'd be putting him to shame. Will would be killed and be sent to join his father, and Bill Turner was like a second parent to me. Such a friendly man.
I jumped down the slope with Barbossa following me and Jack trying to hold him off. A plan formed in my mind. It was drastic, but it was what had to be done. I took my sword, crouched down low and jammed it straight through Jack's leg. From his howl of pain, I had hit the right person. I heard him fall and silence swept over.
"Jasmine!" Will shouted.
I placed my boot on Jack's chest, and did my best to hold back the tears in my eyes as I raised my sword so it was level with his chest. All I had to do was strike down and forever be rid of him. But did I really want to? I wanted to be Captain, but I didn't want to turn out like Barbossa. Smelly, dirty, evil, did I say smelly? The lives of so many people were already lost, what would be one more right? I'M SO CONFUSED!
"That's it Jasmine. This is what you want to do." Barbossa encouraged. "Be rid of Sparrow and the Pearl is yours."
I felt my way to the Aztec treasure chest which was right by where Jack had fallen. I placed the coin with my blood into the chest and then turned back to Jack, who was frightened as I could tell. His trembling as I held the sword just inches away from his chest that would send him to the grave forever. Sweat beaded my forehead and hands as I tried to make up my own mind, which was spinning around like a torndao.
"Finish him off Jazzy."
"Don't Jasmine, please..."Jack pleaded.
I really had to think but I knew what to do.
"I'm sorry..."I said.
I swiftly pulled Jack's gun out of my pocket turned and shot Barbossa.
"Now Will!"
That was his signal to drop the last medallion into the chest.
"You've made the wrong decesion Jazzy." Barbossa hissed.
A sword whooshed and I ducked just before it collided with my head.
Will came up by my side and took my hand. I saw I had shot Barbossa straight in the heart.
"Actually Barbossa, I didn't."
He unbuttoned his shirt to reveal the blood that was pouring from the bullet wound.
"I feel...cold..."
Captain Barbossa fell to the ground, dead as a doornail. I removed my foot from Jack's chest and placed it on Barbossa's rotting corpse.
"My name is Jasmine Walsh. Don't you forget it." I whispered.
Silence filled the room and Will let go of my hand. When he did, I got a brief image of Elizabeth running into his arms and Jack asked me to help him off. Then I was blind again.
"Will!" Elizabeth breathed and came to Will.
"Jazzy love, would you mind helping me up?" Jack asked.
"That was weird." I said to myself.
"What is?" Will asked.
"I saw Elizabeth run to you and Jack ask me to help him up before it even happened. Am I a visionary or something now?"
"I guess you can see into the future a little bit." Jack offered. "Now get me a bandage and help me up."
I took off part of Jack's sleeves and tied it around the area he directed me to.
"I'm sorry I had to do that to you Jack." I replied putting one of his arms around my shoulder so I could help him walk.
"Your mum and dad would've been proud of you anyways. You did the right thing." Jack commented. "Although I'm not quite sure how you worked out the logic to this plan."
"Well I tricked Barbossa like you normally would, but I hit you with the oar because your too predicatable. Barbossa would easily be able to see through your lies and we would be ambushed. Instead I told him everything he would want to hear so that way the crew would leave. I really didn't want to hurt you Jack but I was placed in a difficult poistion." I elaborated.
"You're both just pirates." Elizabeth scowled.
"Maybe so, but I'm pirate that saved your boyfriend's life. I'll take that thanks any time now." I replied.
She was so stuck up. We all got back into the rowboat and Will took the oars. I had another vision, and when we went outside the caves the Black Pearl was going to be gone.
A few moments later...
"I'm sorry Jack." Elizabeth said.
"They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that." Jack replied.
"Let me guess, the Pearl is gone right?"
"You saw it was gone before it happened again?" Will asked.
"Yes."
When we climbed aboard the Dauntless, Jack and I were arrested once more and sent down to the brigs below.
"We're going to be hung when we get back." I informed Jack.
"I know." He replied quietly. "At least you don't hate me anymore."
"I never hated you Sparrow, I was just angry. But you did save me life after all so I suppose I do owe you that."
"Aye, that you do lass."
A/N: OK sorry the fight scene was a little short. I think I'm going to put up a Titanic story after this and then a sequal to this story based off the 2nd pirates movie. R&R PLEASE!
