Chapter Sixteen: Weather They Want It Or Not
Listing to orders wasn't one of Shyla's favorite things, but for once she was going to. Walking out on deck she looked and seen them just setting around and some talking. She saw Ana, Gibbs, and Marty playing cards. Taking a breath she went back in and laid back down letting sleep over take her.
(With Jack and Will)
Jack and Will go on their way into the cave, Jack rowing of course and Will setting wondering what Gibbs meant by 'The Code.' So being the non-simpleton Will is, he asked.
"What code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen?" Will asked with a confused looked. Jack kept on rowing.
"Pirate's code. Any man who falls behind, is left behind." he answered in a non-caring tone.
"No hero's amongst thieves?" Will asked, Jack looked back at him…looking a little offended and sounding it to.
"You know for having such a bleak outlook on pirates, you're well on your way to becoming one. Sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga." he said pausing, seeing William looking at gold and sliver under water. He looked over Will's shoulder.
"And you're completely obsessed with treasure."
"That's not true. I am not obsessed with treasure." Will said in defense.
Jack looked at him from a small window like thing for the cave. (Forgot what it was. If you watched the movie, then hopefully you'll know!)
"Not all treasure is sliver and gold, mate." He said then looked back into the window thingy.
They sat there spying on Barbossa and his crew. Seeing that Elizabeth was safe for now at least. They watched in silence as Barbossa explained how their said curse was now lifted. (Big Surprise there…)
"For 10 years we've been tested and tried, and each man Jack of you here have proved his mettle a hundred times over and a hundred time again!" Barbossa started. (Seriously, what was the man talking about when he said Jack of you? The cute creepy little Monkey named Jack, or just the toothless, well crew missing teeth men?)
"Suffered, I have!" Ragetti said. (Ha, ha. Poor man's always loosing his eye…Ok; ok…I'll shut up…maybe! Naw really, on with the story!)
Punished, we were the lost of us. Disproportionate to our crime! Here it is! The cursed treasure of Cortes himself. Every last piece that went away, we have returned. Save for this." Barbossa said motioning for the medallion on Elizabeth's neck.
Will jumps a little trying to go for Elizabeth, but Jack holds him back.
"Not yet. We wait for the opportune moment." Jack said.
"When's that? When it's of greatest profit to you?" Will asked Jack looked at him.
"May I ask something? Have I ever given you a reason not to trust me?" Jack asked, but wouldn't give William time to answer.
"Do us a favor. I know it's difficult for you, but please stay here and try not to do something stupid." Jack said leaning into Will, doing hand gestures.
Will blinked as Jack turned and went to walk off. Leaving a baffled Will behind. (You know what happens after this…the whole speech happy Barbossa…well…I'm not putting it in here…going on with the story…sorry.)
(With Shyla)
She sat there on the bed twitting her thumbs.
"This is ridiculous!" she exclaimed to herself, throwing her hands up in the air and standing up.
Sure she tried to stay, but she wanted to help and she wanted to make sure here sister was alright. So, walking over and grabbing something of Jack's to wear.
This was kinda hard to find seeing that she was a small framed woman…but she found something anyways. Pulling on a pair of his pants, a shirt, and so forth. She found a ripped piece of cloth placing it around her hair as it fell around her shoulders; she tied it up and was on her way to help her three friends. Weather they liked it or not!
She didn't want to take a chance and let the crew lock her up in the cabin, so instead she snuck her way by them. Seeing that she was out of sight she walked over the edge where she would be able to climb down.
As she was about to she was stopped by someone's hand on her shoulder. Turning around she gave a small smile…this was not her day!
