Chapter 15
Sam and the rest of Oliver's crew seemed willing to help us when I had told them of my 'plan'.
I lead them to where the fight was and watched them go charging in. as they did this I slipped away into the shadows and made my way towards Barbossa.
I'd wipe his smug look off his face once and for all.
I smirked when I saw the look of surprise on everyone's face when Oliver's crew started bashing away at the rest of Barbossa's crew.
Slipping on a gold bird shaped figure, I gasped rather loudly. Afraid that I had drawn attention to myself, I instinctively dropped to my stomach so that Barbossa couldn't see me at the bottom of the treasure pile.
After a few seconds I decided no one would be looking at me. I stood up very slowly and warily. I could see Barbossa at the top of the treasure but he had his back to me.
I tried my hardest to climb without making a noise. My muscles started to ache with the tension building inside of me. Each stop caused me to be more out of breath, through anticipation, strain and adrenaline.
When I reached the top I smirked as I pulled out my sword. I dug it into Barbossa's shoulder, drawing blood.
As he screamed in pain and turned around to face me, I snapped the chain holding the medallion around his neck and smeared his blood all over it. I couldn't help but laugh as I watched the gold turn red, blood red.
"NO!" he screamed as he realised what I was doing.
"Oh yes!" I replied and I threw the medallion into the chest.
Barbossa's face paled when I turned to face him.
"It's a shame your last feeling will be pain" I said smugly.
Just to make sure he knew he wouldn't be coming alive ever again, I shot the monkey that was perched on the edge of the chest.
The monkey let a shriek as it fell into the chest.
"Jack!" Barbossa shouted, he tried to stand up to tend to his last hope of being alive, but he stopped abruptly. His shoulder was evidently giving him nothing but grief.
"Face it Barbossa! Your last minutes are here!" I yelled. I looked down to see that Barbossa's crew were finally all dead, I flashed Dad, Will and all the others a grin to tell them that I knew what I was doing.
"Well those last minutes will be spent making sure your life comes to an end Sparrow!" Barbossa yelled, he drew his sword and tried to stab my chest.
"That's Miss Sparrow to you! You bastard!" I parried his blow and attempted to turn the fight round so I was the attacker and he was the defender.
"Apologies, Miss Sparrow" Barbossa corrected himself. He caught me off guard as I slipped on yet another gold figure, he pushed me backwards with the hilt of his sword and I lost my footing. I started to fall.
As I was falling I grabbed onto Barbossa's boots, if I was going down, he was going with me. We both landed in the water at the bottom of the treasure pile.
I started to swim towards the land but I felt a sharp pain in my leg. I turned around to see blood emerging from my leg, and Barbossa holding up his sword and grinning.
"Bastard!" I shouted and I turned to stab him. Before I could, I felt something hard behind me and I realised I had floated into the land.
I splashed Barbossa to give me time to scramble up, as I did this I heard Barbossa spluttering behind me. I only had to put my other foot onto the floor when I heard Dad shouting.
"LILY LOOK OUT!" he cried.
Before I could 'look out' I felt a tight grip on my ankle and I was being dragged back into the water. Time seemed to slow down as I was falling. I tried to reach out to Marty, who was nearest to me, but at that point I found my head had gone below the water.
I tried to scramble back up but I felt two strong hands pushing me further and further under. I tried to get back up but Barbossa's hands were too strong. I tried to hold my breath for as long as I could, but soon I had to give in to the darkness.
Jack's POV
I watched as Barbossa and Lily fell into the water. I desperately wanted to dive in a fish her out, almost as desperately, I wanted to ring Barbossa's neck, feel his life drain from him and feel his body turn cold.
I was dragged from my thoughts when I heard Lily shout at Barbossa.
"Bastard!" she yelled. She was very good at yelling; even when she was a baby she had had a good set of lungs on her.
The next thing I knew, Barbossa had pushed Lily into the water and Lily was trying to swim away. Barbossa cut her leg with his sword. I tried to run towards him but Will, Gibbs and Marty stopped me.
"Cap'n" said Gibbs "leave the girl be, I think she'd want to do this on her own"
"Move Gibbs!"
"He's right Jack" said Will. Great. I had to watch while my daughter was struggling in a fierce battle to the death.
I smiled when I saw Lily get out of the water and Barbossa was behind her. My smile turned upside down when I saw Barbossa reach out to her.
"LILY LOOK OUT!" I yelled as loud as I could. I saw Lily try to turn but Barbossa pulled her in the water anyway. I saw her head go under but she never came back up.
My breathing sped up rapidly and a lump got stuck in my throat. I watched while Barbossa held her head down. How I longed for Barbossa to fall over and die and for my little girls head to re-emerge from the water, with her grin on her face.
"Look Sparrow! Say goodbye to your daughter! It's a shame really, I nearly had my way with her, and if she wasn't such a stubborn wench I would have!" Barbossa said to me.
"What would you have thought of daddy's little girl then eh Jack?" he continued.
In blind rage I pushed Will over so he would get off me and pulled out my sword, the images of Lily lying on a cold hard floor with Barbossa's hands running all over her made me sick, I ran as fast I could and raised me sword.
"BARBOSSA! YOU BASTARD! GO TO HELL!" I yelled I plunged my sword into his head, his chest, his abdomen, everywhere I could reach.
I watched as blood came pouring out of Barbossa's mouth, he fell into the water, but Lily never re-surfaced. Without thinking I dove into the water. I could see gold glistening on the bottom of the water but Lily's pale face caught my eye. She had her eyes closed and I feared for the worst.
I pulled Lily back onto the floor and dragged her towards Will and the others.
"Lily!" Anamaria gasped, she ran over to us and checked her over, listening for breathing and checking for Lily's chest rising and falling.
"Your really lucky Jack" she said, after what seemed like hours, but it was probably only seconds.
"Why?" I spluttered
"She's breathing, but only just, we need to get out of here" she replied.
"Right"
I turned to face the other crew that joined us; I had no idea who they were.
"Who are you?" I asked one of them.
"Cooper, Sam Cooper" he replied. "We're the crew of the Star Maker and Captain Oliver Watson"
"Ah" I replied, that would explain why they were here.
So... so far i have Elizabeth, Oliver and Lily unconcious, right? Barbossa is finally definately dead (woo woo!) and his little monkey Jack wont be coming back for him! please review! i can take critisism so just tell me what you think!
