Bang… Bang… Bang…
Fight is going on. It seems it's not going to end anytime soon. We have too much to lose, Jack and I. Both of us. My ears register sound with few seconds delay, I'm not surprised though thinking about how loud is it here. You don't know, you don't feel. But I do and I am scared like never before in my entire life.
Thunder cross the sky, first one. Rain is pouring heavily onto deck soaking everything and everybody. I can barely see with my hair stuck to my forehead, cheeks. How I cursed right then that I had to cut them shorter and it was all Jack bloody Sparrow's fault! My heart burned with anger; adrenaline pumped through my veins and I used this as my ruff against advancing enemies. There were so many of them. I could've bet my hand chopped off I've heard mermaids too.
On thought about those half women goose bumps appeared on my forearms. I was completely freaked out by them. It weren't the looks though but their predatory nature. Somehow I couldn't stand that something so unusual and beautiful could kill just as easily. On opposite side there was me and my blood, their blood. I know how that sounds, bonkers at least but that's true. I'm half mermaid and I just barely learned this.
I've got to thank Jack for this. The truth is if not for him I wouldn't have to escape from my home in Nassau and probably never met Angelica as well as I wouldn't find him all alive in Tortuga drinking rum. Yes and to add more, he saved me from myself at least once for what I'm really ashamed. However if not for him and whatever he said to Mermaid Queen I'd be gone as the Elizabeth Swann-Turner right now and changed into one of them.
Second thunder boomed above our heads. Sword started to slip from my hand every now and then but I'm trying not to lose my steady grip no matter how hard it is to do so. Enemies are closing onto us, not good. I think I hear Jack somewhere behind me but it's difficult to say with battle going on and all guns shooting around. It's still so loud.
I slipped on deck, I fell down. My swords went half way through deck and my only hope were my pistols. Before I could blink someone stood up proudly above me with sword's sharp tip glittering in the rain pointed straight at my heart. I gulped acting as fast as I could. Bloody pirate's ugly smile slipped from his face faster than I could point my pistol. He fell hard.
Rain poured at my head while I sat clutching my gun in hand. From the corner of my eye I saw Angelica pointing hers little paralyzing gun at another pirate. Goodness, why that girl was a pirate I didn't know. She couldn't kill, never. Jack seemed pretty much interested in her and I don't mind it at all, she's beautiful woman. Why then I'm so sad when he's looking at her with such care in his eyes? I remember when he looked like that at me but it was a way before… I left him.
Third thunder stricken. Sea wasn't calm, storm was getting stronger and all ship rippled like mad from one side to other. Jack's words got lost between raindrops and Angelica's cries to him. Curious what's going on I looked around and stopped dead. My blood got cold, I couldn't breathe. I started to convulse on deck, sometimes my eyes could catch a glimpse of Jack and Barbossa… Angelica running up to them… Light within dark clouds… Darkness… Light… Jack… Pistol… Darkness closing on me… Cold…
