Disclaimer: I do not in any Way, Shape, or Form own Pirates of the Caribbean . If I did, I would have a Jack Sparrow at my side, and I wouldn't at all complain .
Ch.3
I nodded my head in agreement and the two of us started to get ready to go to shore.
Somehow the three of us managed to squeeze into the small rowboat that we set off in. It wasn't too surprising though that Sparrow told had me in between the two of them. I was looking out at the cave that we came into and looked around with my brother. Along the way Will asked what the code was if something happened. "If a man falls behind is left behind." Sparrow said simply, that put me on edge a bit, the same with Will. "No hero's amongst thieves eh?" he said. "Apparently not." I said leaning against my brother's back slightly. "For your bleak outlook on pirates, you two are well on your way to becoming one." Sparrow stated. We didn't say anything, what was there say? I didn't know if he was right, who knows, maybe by some odd stroke of luck he was. I was starting to enjoy living at sea, I didn't actually want to go back to Port Royal. 'Maybe my love for the sea, is finally speaking out...' I thought as I tuned back into the conversation. I looked over the edge of the boat, my eyes sparkled seeing the coins below us. "And you are completely obsessed with treasure." Sparrow said with a grin. "Are not." I said snapping my head to his direction as we landed on the shore. "That's not true, I'm not obsessed with treasure." Will said sternly as the three of us walked over to the cave wall to see what was going on. We went up the ledge to see what was going on below. Sparrow turned to us with a look I couldn't place. "Not all treasure is silver and gold mate." He said quietly as came up to where he was. We looked through the opening and I had to bite my cheek in order not to say anything rash.
We watched Barbossa make his speech and kick the top of the chest in the middle off. 'The gold of Cortez... I remember reading about it.' I thought then noticed my brother wanting to go and save Elizabeth. Sparrow grabbed hold of him, telling him that it wasn't time yet and pulled the two of us down, so we were crouching so not to be seen. Sparrow looked at us sternly, telling us that it wasn't the right time then left. We looked at each other before following after him. I could tell that Will was getting impatient and question Sparrow why he couldn't just go now. Sparrow turned to us and asked us a question. He came close to Will as he spoke. "Have I ever given you a reason not to trust me?" he paused a bit. "I know it's difficult for you right now, so please stay here, right now, and... try not to do anything stupid..." he looked like he was going to say something else but instead started to leave. He looked over to me and I frowned, there was that same look again that I couldn't place. "The same goes for you luv." He said, causing my eye to twitch a bit, and then he really did leave. "I don't like this..." I whispered to Will. "Don't worry now Gab, I have a plan." He said and grabbed a piece of wood. I shook my head a bit knowing his plan and I followed him down the path that Sparrow went. When Sparrow turned to us, Will smacked him with the wood, knocking Sparrow out. "Sorry Jack, but I won't be your leverage." He said and dropped the plank of wood onto the ground before starting out. He turned to me though. "Gab stay here. If he moves, just kick him." He said before leaving. I leaned against the cave wall crossing my arms. I stared at the fallen Sparrow and had to shake my head a bit. 'This is nonsense.' I thought bitterly and pouted to myself. I closed my eyes a bit, forcing myself not to stare at him anymore, it gave me a weird feeling that I didn't like. 'Will, where are you?' I whined in my head. I didn't know where Will went off too but I stayed where I was. I heard a groan and opened my eyes again. Before I could speak Sparrow and grabbed me and pulled me to him, covering my mouth with his hand. "Easy now luv, looks like yer brother left ya with me." He said in my ear. I was tempted to kick him, but he tightened the grip he had around my waist. "Now, don't be going and doing that now, we ha'e ta get out of here with ya ali'e." He said again and pushed me forward along with the commotion that suddenly erupted while I was lost in my thoughts. Though he did let go of me and used me as a leaning pole. "You're brother has a good arm." He commented. He wobbled down the slope only to be greeted by the pirates that were down there.
"You're supposed to be dead!" one of men said, he had a balding head with long hair and beard. Sparrow blinked at him and looked down at himself while saying if he's not. The then let out a disappointed 'oh' and turned us around but swords blocked our way, he turned us around again only to have a gun cocked in our faces. "N' who's he?" the same man asked nodding towards me. 'They must be stupider than I thought to think I'm a guy.' I though dryly. Sparrow put up one finger to them. "Pearly." He said then made a face when the other pirates looked at each other. I rolled my eyes at him. "I think 'e means parley." I piped up when Sparrow started to say a bunch of words. He shot his head up. "Yes, that's it." He said and patted me on the back. "Such a good lad 'e is." He said making my eye twitch again. The pirates made disgusted faces at that. Seemed like I wasn't the only one wanting to kill Sparrow at that moment. A few minutes later Barbossa came over and looked at Jack, not at all paying me any attention. "How the blazes did you get off that island?" Barbossa asked curiously. Sparrow just smiled that secret smile of his, the one where he knew something that no one else did. "When you marooned me on that island mate, you forgot one important thing. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." He said. Barbossa smirked at that and started to turn around. "Oh I won't forget again then. Kill him and the boy too." He said and started walking away. The men cocked their guns and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at this. Sparrow then stated that Elizabeth's blood didn't work, and I shot him a glare, just telling him that he better not try and use me as his leverage. Barbossa told his men to cease fire and walked back over to Jack. "You know who's blood we need." He stated smirking a bit. Sparrow smirked back and I knew that he was going to get back at my brother. "I know whose blood you need." Sparrow said simply.
After that we were taken to the Black Pearl and I couldn't help but gaze at its beauty. I felt someone come up behind me and place their hands on my shoulders. "She's a beauty aint she luv?" Sparrow whispered in his usual deep husky voice in my ear. "Aye, she is." I whispered back and we were walked onto its deck. Currently we were sitting in the main cabin. Sparrow was trying to negotiate with Barbossa, trying to stick the man on an island by himself, it wasn't exactly working. Tossing me an apple Sparrow continued to talk before he sat on his chair, plopping his feet onto the table, where as I was just balancing mine on its two back legs. 'This really is going nowhere.' I thought and took a bit out of my apple. Before one of them could say anything, one of Barbossa's men came in, saying that they were catching up to the Interceptor. Sparrow and I followed the out of the cabin and up to the main deck and looked at the Interceptor. We then went up to where Barbossa was and once again Sparrow tried to negotiate with the undead man again. But it all went to deaf ears. "Lock 'em in the bridge." Barbossa ordered. A hand landed on our shoulders and we were taken down to the bridge forcefully. 'Great, just what I need.' I thought bitterly, feeling the bruise starting to form on my shoulder. We were locked in the bridge together, the iron bars slamming in our faces. We looked out of the peep hole before we were shot at. Sparrow yelled something about holes in his ship. Picked up a canteen, that was most likely Gibbs and tried to take a sip out of it. I stood up and went over to the cell door and poked it open. "Let's get out of 'ere." I said facing him before leaving through the door. Sparrow looked at the door and grinned. "Let's." He agreed and we made our way up deck, where the fighting was commencing. I shook my head a bit, not really all that surprised. We stood on the railing watching of the pirates failing to get onto the Interceptor. When he came towards us I stepped back and both Sparrow and I grabbed the rope, causing the man to fall off. We looked at each other, then where he went and shrugged. "Thanks." We said and got on, swinging to the other side. But our weight must have been too much cause before we could get onto the ship we swung right back again, knocking someone off of the ship. We swung back again and landed on the Interceptor next to Gibbs. "Jack! Gab!" he said in surprise. Sparrow handed Gibbs his canteen saying that it was empty then walked away. Gibbs and I looked at each other and shrugged before I went off to find my brother. I didn't see him on deck and went over to Sparrow and Elizabeth. Before she had a chance to say anything to him and went to her side. "Elizabeth, where's Will?" I asked. That got her to think straight as she ran off to find him. I shook my head a bit and looked up the same time as Sparrow, and then we looked at each other. "Monkey." We both said and ran after it. We crawled along the fallen mast trying to catch the damned thing. We almost got it when it climbed onto something or rather someone. We looked up to see Barbossa with that creepy smile on his face. "Thank you Jack." He said grinning. Sparrow straightened up a bit, and I did the same. "Uhm ,you're welcome." He said slightly confused. "Oh no not you, we named the monkey Jack." Barbossa said. I had to cough to keep from snorting from how ironic that was. Barbossa yelled that their fate was restored and the crew yelled. We looked around uncertainly, giving them weary smiles, and hoped that we wouldn't be put in the bridge again.
We were soon tied up against the mass with the others from the ship and when the ship exploded and ran over to Barbossa and tried to punch him. "You bastard! How could you!" I yelled at him. He grabbed my wrists tightly, stopping me from attacking him. "Now listen hear missy. I've done well not to let any of the crew know of yer gender, but that's all going ta change now!" he said and flung me into his men. As much as I tried to struggle, they kept touching me. I let out a frustrated yell as I tried to hit one of them. "Such a feisty little Miss aint she?" I heard one of the men say, and the others agreed. Before anything else could happen, my brother climbed onto the railing. 'Thank the sea he's alive' I thought as everyone paused at the sight. Will jumped down onto the deck and pointed to me. "She goes free, and so does she." He said soon pointing to Elizabeth who was still tied up. Barbossa walked over to Will. "What's going through your head boy?" Barbossa asked. Behind him I could see Sparrow begging my brighter not to do anything stupid, and I was doing the same in my head. "The girls go free." Will repeated. Barbossa just laughed at him, even more when he cocked a gun. "There's only one shot boy, and we can't die." Barbossa said. Will then jumped onto the railing again holding the gun to his neck. "You can't but I can." He said seriously. When Barbossa asked his name, my brother answered, saying who our father was, but not mentioning me. 'He always tries to protect me, I should protect him once in a while.' I thought struggling against the men who were holding onto me. Barbossa asked will for his terms and he said for Elizabeth and myself to go free, as well as the crew not to be harmed.
What I didn't except from that agreement was to have my hands tied in front of me and forced to walk the plank. Will tried to make his way to me, calling Barbossa a lying rat. Elizabeth was at his side, refusing to go without him, and he had specified that she was to go back to the navy. I walked closer to the end of the plank and looked down at the dark water, feeling a small sense of dread in the process. I turned to the pirates who were waving their swords in front of me and telling. "Ya don' know how ta do anythin' but be puppets n' yell do ya?" I said. Barbossa just smirked at me. "We're pirates missy, it's 'bout time you realize that." He said and turned away. I looked at my brother and inclined my head a bit before turning back to the water, watching it swirl under me. I suppose I was taking too long because the large man of the crew stomped on the plank causing me to wobble a bit. I didn't lose my balance as I sent the man a smirk. "See you in Davy Jones then." I said and jumped into the water. I didn't surface for a while as I swam to the shore. When I did come up for air though, I heard another splash behind me, most likely it being Sparrow. I unbound my hands and started swimming closer to the shore. When I got there turned around and glared at the ship. "That's the second time I've seen that man leave with my ship." Sparrow said behind me. I looked over at him with a raised eyebrow, which he ignored and walked into the forest. "So how are we going get off this island Sparrow?" I asked following him. "That's Captain Sparrow luv." He corrected with one finger in the air. I rolled my eyes watching as he went to a tree and knocked on it a few times before taking a few long steps to the sand and jumped a bit. "It's said you were here for three weeks, that's a lie isn't it." I stated. He paused a bit, and I knew then, that it was. He turned to me and walked over coming fairly close. I could feel his natural body heat radiating off of him. "I was here for three days. The rum runners used this as their base." He said and lifted up a door before going down. "You can probably thank Norrington that they went out of business from the looks of things." He said before coming back up with two bottles of rum. "So that's your adventure?" I asked sarcastically with a slight smirk. He just shrugged and went to pass me. "Welcome to the Caribbean luv." He said and walked passed me. "Oi Sparrow." I called to him crossing my arms over my chest. He paused in mid step before turning to me with raised eyebrow. "Aye luv?" he asked curiously. "Aren't ya goin ta share?" I asked with a smirk and walked over to him. He held out a bottle of rum and grinned. "I knew there was a reason why I liked ya better than yer brother." He said. I grabbed the bottle of rum and chuckled. "No point being at each other's throat when there's rum and the vast ocean in front of us." I said with a grin. Sparrow nodded and grabbed my arm. "Then let's make the best of this." He said raising his bottle up. I copied him and then we both ripped the cork out of the bottle and clanked them together before taking a deep healthy gulp. I smiled as the liquor ran hot down my throat, sending a soothing feeling throughout my body. 'It's been way to long since I've had rum.' I thought as I took another gulp. We went down to the beach and sat there for the rest of the day drinking our rum. Soon night came and we made a bonfire, must have been to rum or something but we started dancing around the fire singing 'Yoho Yoho a pirates life fer me!' Soon we both got dizzy and sat on the ground beside each others. I took another long gulp of rum and grinned up at the sky. "Ya know luv, when I get me ship back I plan on teaching this song to everyone." Jack said grinning. I looked over at him curiously and leaned back against one of my arms. "Like the song that much eh?" I asked with a smile. He looked at me with a thoughtful look. "Aye." He said taking another swig of rum. I looked up at the stars again before taking a swig of rum. "What drives you Jack?" I asked quietly, pulling my knees to my chest. "Pardon luv?" he asked sitting up a bit more and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "What drives ya ta be a pirate known all across the world?" I asked. There was silence between us for a while as Jack thought of an answer. "It's a dream." He said simply. I swirled my rum around in its bottle leaning against Jack for a bit. "Ya know what me dream is?" I said suddenly looking over to Jack. He took a swig before looking down at me. "What luv?" he asked. "Ta sail. Ta sail across the oceans of the world and ta see what there is ta see." I said. "E'er since I was a girl I loved the ocean." I said closing my eyes a bit and took another swig of rum. "Then come with me when I retrieve the Pearl, sail with me and the crew. We'll sail till the ends of the earth, and see e'erythin' there is ta see luv." He said grinning down at me. I stared at him in surprise, but I chuckled away. "Give it some thought lass, I'll await yer answer when I get me ship back." He said and took another swig before passing out. I looked down at him and chuckled, taking another gulp of mine I looked up at the sky. "Sail on the Black Pearl eh?" I mused with a grin before looking back at sky. "Yer not such a bad guy like I first thought Jack Sparrow." With that I laid down on the sand, letting myself fall victim to the sweet grogginess of rum.
