Chapter 11

"Touching reunion but can we get back to what this is all about?" shouted Barbossa from his ship.

"BARBOSSA!" shouted Dad; I could see the anger rising in him.

"Jack Sparrow! Long time no see eh? We'll see you cowards at the Isle De Muerta, if you're up for a fight" replied Barbossa, and with that they sailed into the cove that was at the entrance of the island.

"We are no coward's, right men?" asked Dad to the crew.

"No Cap'n!" they replied

"Then get us to that island…NOW!" Dad was clearly angry.

"Are you sure that's wise?" asked Bill "Barbossa is cursed, he could kill us all single handed if he wanted to"

"Bill, last time we were in this situation, the whole crew were cursed, so Barbossa really is no match for us this time" replied Dad. "all we need to do, is get the medallion off Barbossa, put some of his blood into it and drop it into the chest"

"oh" replied Bill and he went off to talk to Will and Elizabeth.

I went to find Oliver; he was in the crow's nest. I began the climb up, I'm scared of heights but I learnt that if you don't look down then there's nothing to be scared of. So I looked up. Once I was at the top Oliver grabbed my arms and helped me up.

"You ok?" he asked me.

"I'm fine, are you?"

"I will be"

"Will be?"

"Yeah, when all this is over, I can look for my ship, since I left them in Port Royal not knowing where their captain was"

"Oh yeah" I replied. I wondered if Oliver's crew had abandoned him. Dad's crew would never do that him, they loved him too much as a captain, the best in the world they called him.

"so when you find your ship, you'll be leaving?"

"I don't know, I'll be living on my ship as usual but…I was thinking of asking your father if I could sail with The Black Pearl, so I could be near you, I love you, I won't leave you"

"Oh that's brilliant!" I exclaimed. I threw my arms around him and we kissed.

"what's your ship called?"

"The Star Maker"

Suddenly flashbacks of Barbossa and Oliver talking on the other ship came to mind.

"Oliver…"

"Yeah?"

"How do you know Barbossa? I mean he didn't even ask for your name"

"Like he said Lily, I attacked his ship"

"Yes but there seemed to be more in it than that"

"I killed a family member of his"

"What? Which family member? That bastard has a family?"

"His sister" said Oliver quietly.

"You…you killed a…a…a woman!" I asked Father never killed women, children or innocents; it was a rule of his so I was shocked to discover that Oliver had gone and done it.

"Yes…I'm not proud of it" he added.

"But why?" I asked

"well, she was a bit like an evil Anamaria, she had the same roll as the crew and she died in battle, just like Anamaria would have if it was her, she crossed me, and during a sword fight, I killed her"

"Oh" was all I could say. The thought of Anamaria being killed in battle had stunned me; she was like a sister to me onboard.

"So why didn't Barbossa kill you when we were on his ship?"

"He killed my first mate"

"Was your first mate important to you?"

"he was my best friend and my brother all in one, we weren't blood related but after my mother and father died, I met him in Tortuga and we'd been friends ever since, Barbossa killed him slowly. Right in front of me as some sort of sick revenge"

"So he had already had his revenge? So he didn't need to do anymore to you?" I was beginning to put the pieces together.

"Got it in one"

"So winning this battle is important to you then?"

"Very"

"Well I suppose it's what pirates do"

"Yeah" said Oliver, he chuckled slightly.

"We best get down now then" I said as the crew below dropped anchor.

This is a fairly short chapter, but the thing with Oliver and Barbossa needed clearing up, I'm sure you've all been waiting to hear it.
