Just a word of caution: this chapter ends with a cliffhanger. You've been warned.
Shoutout to JadeSparrow33 for reviewing last time (thank you)
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
After several hours of fighting, everyone was beginning to tire. The only ones still fighting after two straight hours were Jack and Barbossa. Elizabeth had a broken arm, Will had a lot of scratches all over him, Cotton lost an eye, Gibbs was bruised and Anna seemed okay. The pirate crew was either badly injured or well dead. Turns out they weren't as unstoppable as they thought they were. Anyway, Jack and Barbossa didn't seem to want to stop for anything. Jack, being cursed and all, had a bit of an advantage. Unfortunately, Barbossa was very slick and would dodge or drop if Jack was anywhere near hitting him. Finally, Jack had blocked him into a corner. His only chances were to surrender, die or jump overboard.
"Do ye surrender," Jack asked.
Barbossa sneered at him and ducked under Jack's arm to make a run for it. Of course, he didn't see Elizabeth's foot come from nowhere and he fell like a sack of potatoes. Barbossa quickly stood up and grabbed his gun to shoot. Jack put his sword down and walked around him.
"You've more than likely only got one shot there mate and we (he pointed to everyone) can't die," he drawled.
Everyone got to their feet and made a circle around him. Barbossa put his head down and dropped his pistol and sword before mumbling something. Will grabbed them and threw them off the ship. Jack put his own sword away and nodded to Gibbs and Cotton. They both took him by an arm and began to move him away.
Line break
Will turned to talk to Jack but the words never came out.
"Will," he heard Elizabeth exclaim.
He looked and saw a small dagger sticking out from her stomach. Since they had been cursed, he didn't think much of it until he saw the blood.
"Elizabeth," he bellowed running over to her as she collapsed.
They all looked up when the moon moved away from the clouds. They were mortal once more. Jack looked over to the couple and looked at Barbossa with flames in his eyes.
"What did you do?"
Instead of answering, the man laughed. Jack went over to Barbossa, raised his fist and punched him so hard that the man fell. Yet he continued to laugh. Jack grabbed him and made him get up.
"Answer me, what the hell did you do!"
Barbossa smirked. "The gods can be very persuasive if ye ask nicely."
Jack understood, Barbossa had somehow gotten the gods to remove the curse on them so they were alive again. Jack punched him a few more times before the man laid still. Gibbs made his way over and checked for any sort of sign of life.
Line break
Jack felt someone's arm on his shoulder and he turned to see Anna's face. She motioned to Will who was sitting next to his beloved. Anna nodded to him and he walked over.
Line break
Will removed the dagger and the blood continued to flow. He quickly took off his shirt and tried to stop the bleeding. He heard clothing being removed and turned to see Jack leaning over her as well.
"How's the lass doing," he asked quietly.
Will just shook his head between the stifling of tears.
"Will?" They both looked to see Elizabeth struggling to move.
"Just lay still love," Jack said.
"Where is he," Will asked. They both turned their heads to see Barbossa in the exact same spot and position.
"I think I've killed him."
"Didn't know you had so much strength."
"Jack, what should we do wit him," Gibbs asked.
"Throw him overboard. In fact, throw them all over. I don't want to see any of their faces ever again."
Will meanwhile carefully picked up Elizabeth and led the way to the Captain's cabin.
Line break
He laid her on the bed and carefully took the hair out of her face.
"Will," she said again.
"I'm here love."
"Will, I feel cold," she said with her voice shaking.
He looked down at her with wide eyes as she began to shake.
"No, don't leave me. Not again."
"I think I'm going."
"No," he said grabbing her hand.
The tears came to his eyes and they wouldn't stop. All of a sudden, the door opened and Jack came inside.
"How's she doing," he whispered.
"Not very good. Not very good at all."
"Jack, is that you?"
"Elizabeth darling, you'll be fine."
"No I won't and you both seem to know it." Will gently caressed her and she smiled.
"I love you. Both of you remember that."
She closed her eyes and her breathing stopped.
Line break
So, only one chapter left to resolve this situation. It'll be up in one week. I updated my pirate clip of the month if you want to check that out on my profile. Other than that, please review before its all over. Later all :-)
