Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
More bad stuff happening I'm afraid. Enjoy.
Jack ran above and pulled out his spyglass to take a peek. It was indeed a ship but it was one he couldn't recognize. He put it away and turned to the crew standing before him. "We'll wait to see if they take shots at us before doing anything. They're too far away right now and I wouldn't want us to be caught Savvy."
Everyone stayed on their guard as the ship drew closer and closer. Will and Elizabeth entered laughing but stopped the moment they saw everyone so nervous.
"What's happening," Elizabeth asked.
"Ship on the horizon," Emma said.
"Jack," Will asked.
"Everyone stay down and be ready."
It inched ever so much closer. Suddenly Jack heard a whizzing noise. "Get down," he shouted to everyone in the vicinity.
They all ducked as a cannonball flew overhead. More balls were fired at them so Jack had every available person get to their own. Will and Elizabeth both manned one together while Bill and Emma stayed with Jack.
"Fire on my command."
They waited with baited breath.
"Fire!"
The explosion caused everyone to jump but as they approached the ship it seemed as though they lost their momentum and fell into the water.
"What the hell?" Bill couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's not possible," Emma said.
Jack just looked through squinted eyes as the other ship fired upon them once more. Their ship shook with the force of the balls hitting it.
Will found his way up the stairs to find everyone looking out into the ocean. "What's going on?"
"Our cannon balls aren't making contact with their ship. It's as though they have some sort of wall around them," Bill explained.
Another cannonball hit and there was more yelling from below. Suddenly, someone ran up the stairs.
"Captain, we're taking on water."
"We're sinking," Emma exclaimed shocked.
The ship began to move closer to them and continued to fire.
"Try again," Jack shouted.
"Fire off," Elizabeth told them.
The men fired and yet again nothing happened.
"It's not working Jack," Bill said.
Jack looked to those around him and nodded. He turned and the ship stood before them. Proud, majestic and huge.
"Well, if it isn't Captain Jack Sparrow," a voice leered.
Jack recognized it but couldn't quite place it.
The man acted as though he was shocked. "You mean you don't remember your friend."
Jack turned to Emma and shrugged.
The man became annoyed and jumped onto their ship and landed with perfect grace.
"Samuel McGregor."
"Ah, so the man does remember," he said with a Scottish lilt in his voice. "Men." All of a sudden, about 25 men appeared by his side. "Take no prisoners."
20 minutes and a body count of 3 (not anyone we know) later, the Pearl was unfortunately captured. Everyone was onboard the other ship known as The Avenger in separate and huge cages. Apparently they weren't the only ones who were captured as there seemed to be over 80 people down there. Elizabeth was in a cage with Bill and many other people while Will was with Emma, Jack and others as well all the way on the other end of the room. Elizabeth currently had her head on Bill's shoulder and he was rubbing her back trying to make her feel better.
"Don't worry lass; we'll be out of here in a jiffy. Once Jack comes up with another brilliant plan then we'll be back in Port Royal in two shakes of a dog's tail."
"But how, I mean, the Black Pearl is gone. I mean, unless he's got a plan in the next few minutes then I think we're going to be stuck here for awhile."
"That may be true but we're safe so long as we're in these cages."
"Oh, you think so," a female voice said to their left.
Elizabeth sat up and Bill looked to whoever it was. Being below deck meant that it was dark and no one could clearly see very well. Whoever moved closer and just brushed Elizabeth's side so she was sitting right on top of them.
"I know so. These men, they know everything. I've been here for over two months now."
"What's your name?"
"Mary. Mary Andrews. I was captured on our crossing from England to the Caribbean and I'm the only one left. They killed my brothers and I don't know what to do anymore," she said breaking down into tears.
Bill laid a hand on her shoulder and she cried into his.
"Don't worry. I think my uncle will find a way to save us," Elizabeth said.
"But how, everyone's tried."
"Not everyone is Captain Jack Sparrow," she said smiling.
Jack and Emma had been arguing for about ten minutes now. Back and forth. Will's neck was beginning to hurt from turning it so much.
"Jack?"
He recognized that voice.
"Anna, what're you doing here? Weren't you sailing with your own ship?"
"Well, I was but then these bastards showed up. Who's here with you?"
He reached out into the darkness till his hands found something hard.
"Jack, let go," Will said.
"Terribly sorry lad."
He reached again and felt Anna's hand rest in his own.
"Ah, there you are," he said pulling her closer. "To your right is my sister Emma and to your left is William Turner. A bunch of the crew should be somewhere down 'ere. The whelp's wife and his father are somewhere too."
"Fine but we need a plan."
"And that's what we were discussing. Care to join in?"
After not even five minutes, Will was wishing he had something to put in his ears to quiet the noise.
Yes, I brought AnnaMaria back. I've wanted to write something with her in it for awhile. And I've sunk the Pearl...or have I. Okay, here's a question: If you could pick anyone to be Emma, who would it be? Who does she look like in your head? Later. Trailer on Monday :-)
Next Chapter: I genuine memory from Emma herself. Stay tuned.
