I stood next to an Aztec chest, shivering because of the eerie cold next to Jack. pirates crowded around us, making me nervous, they weren't exactly friendly-looking.

"How the blazes did you get off that island?" Captain Barbossa spat at Jack. Barbossa was a man well on in his years, with a scar running down his right cheek. He wore navy blue mismatched clothes and wore a wide-brimmed dark hat that had a feather glued to it.

"When you marooned me on that godforsaken spit of land, you forgot one very important thing, mate." Jack explained. "I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Ah, well I won't be making that mistake again." Barbossa said and then turned to me.

"And what is such a beautiful woman like yourself, stuck with this scum." Barbossa asked, nodding towards Jack. Whatever Jack was, and mind you he was many things, but scum wasn't one of them.

"That," I returned harshly. "Is none of your business." I saw a smile spread across Jack's face.

"Ooh, the pretty mermaid has a sharp tongue." Barbossa commented and the crew laughed. "What's your name, missie?"

"My name…" I paused, should I tell him my real name? What harm would it do? " Is Rosabelle Swann. But in this case, you call me Miss Swann or nothing at all."

"Well, Gents, you all remember Captain Jack Sparrow and have just met Miss Swann." Barbossa continued, "Kill them." The pirates all took out their pistols and aimed them at Jack and I. My heart froze, 'kill us?' Did he just say 'kill us?'. I gulped.

"The girl's blood didn't work, did it?" Jack asked,clearly up to something. Elizabeth! I screamed inside my head. How could I have forgotten? And Will, he wasn't here either. It looked like they had escaped, I hoped so. What did Jack mean by 'the girl's blood didn't work', anyway?

"Hold your fire!" Barbossa instructed and turned back to face Jack, the pirate's all reluctantly lowered their weapons, I breathed in a sigh of relief. "You know whose blood we need?" Jack smirked.

"I know whose blood you need."

"So you expect to leave me standing on some beach with nothing but a name and your word it's the one I need and watch you sail away in my ship?" Barbossa repeated, astounded. We had left the Isle and were inside the Black Pearl. From a distance the Black Pearl always looked terrifying and haunted, but when I was actually on it, it felt magical, maybe it was some source of dark magic, but that's what made me feel rebellious and free. I was sitting in the Captain's quarters, listening to Jack and Barbossa talk, actually more like squabble over the Pearl and the lifting of the curse.

"No," Jack responded. "I expect to leave you standing on some beach with absolutely no name at all, watching me sail away on my ship and then I'll shout the name back to you. Savvy."

"But that still leaves us with the problem of me standing on some beach with naught but a name and your word it's the one I need." Barbossa retorted. I mean really they were acting so immature.

"Of the two of us, I am the only one who hasn't committed a mutiny, therefore… my word will be the one we'll be trusting." Jack said and picked up an apple from the fruit bowl on the table. "Although… I suppose I should be thanking you because, in fact, if you hadn't betrayed me and left me to die, I would have an equal share in that curse, same as you."

Jack bit into the apple, "Funny ol' world innit?" He offered Barbossa an apple, but is interrupted by a muscular african man with piercings masking around his eyes.

"Captain, we're coming up on the Interceptor." Barbossa stood up and walked outside to the upper deck with Jack and I following close behind. I watched as Barbossa pulled out a telescope and stared through it at the Intercepter. Jack looked rather hurried and stood in front of the Captain, blocking the other ship from his sight.

"I'm having a thought here, Barbossa. What say we run up a flag of truce? I scurry over to the Interceptor, and I negotiate the return of your medallion, eh? What say you to that?" Seriously, Jack, that's your excuse?

"Now you see, Jack, that's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easy to search when they're dead." Barbossa replied and then to the African man, "Bo'sun, lock them in the brigg." Barbossa snatched Jack's apple, took one look at it, and threw it into the sea. Bo'sun dragged Jack and I to the brig which smelt damp and musty. He shoved Jack in and then me and disappeared back up deck.

"Apparently there's a leak." Jack stated, as we sloshed through ankle-deep water. I heard Barbossa yelling orders to his crew and I suddenly felt angry. The Black Pearl was a much better ship than the Interceptor, they would kill everyone on board in minutes.

"This is your fault!" I shouted at Jack, "If you had just stopped yapping at Barbossa then we might've been able to escape and wouldn't be locked up in here!" I knew it wasn't really Jack's fault, but I couldn't help being angry with him.

"My fault!" Jack exclaimed, getting angry as well. "You're the one who followed me to the Isle, I didn't tell you to. But you just won't listen will you!"

"My sister was in there!" I yelled back, "I had to save her, I couldn't just stay on some ship waiting for you to rescue her. If you even returned, which you didn't!" Jack didn't seem to have a reply for this, so he just stared out a small hole in the side of the ship. I became silent. Jack was just trying to protect me, I thought. I shouldn't of got mad at him. It wasn't really his fault. Then I realised what I had done, I had yelled at someone, I had a fight with someone. Of course I sometimes fought with Elizabeth but she was my family, I'd never fought with anyone else before. I have changed. I don't act like a lady anymore, but I'm not a pirate either. I don't know what I am.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled quietly. Jack took his eye away from the hole.

"What was that?" He smirked.

"I'm sorry." I said a little louder, I felt my cheeks burning.

"Didn't quite hear that?" Jack teased.

"I'm sorry." I shouted, really annoyed with him now. Jack just laughed.

"Stop it." I murmured. But he didn't, he just laughed harder.

"What's so funny?" I asked, regretting I'd ever said sorry to him.

"Nothing. It's just I'd never of thought of the day, that I'd hear you say sorry to me." He replied, his laughs dying down, now.

"Well enjoy it, because you won't be hearing it again, Sparrow." I retorted.

Jack rolled his eyes and pressed against the hole once again.

"DUCK!" Jack yelled after a moment.

"What?" I said, confused. Then I felt a loud Boom! And Jack pushed me to the ground. A canon had smashed through the hull. if Jack hadn't pushed me out of the way. I'd probably be dead.

"Thanks." I said, still feeling shocked. But I doubt he heard me because he didn't say anything in response.

"Stop blowing holes in my ship!" He yelled, then grabbed a rum canteen from the ground. "Bloody empty." He groaned. I then noticed that the lock on the cell door had been destroyed.

"Stop whining about your stupid rum and look, the door lock has been broken."

"Huh?" Was all he said.

"Come on." I groaned and pushed the door open.

Up on deck was mayhem. Pirates boarded the Interceptor and aimed multiple shots at the opposite crew. There was yells and cries and the sound of the canons crashing into the opposite ships.

"Follow me." Jack whispered. I nodded as I watched a man swing from a rope and land face-first onto the deck. Jack grabbed the rope.

"Thanks very much." He thanked and swung onto the Interceptor. I wasn't to keen to do this again, but I grabbed onto a free rope and swung on board the other ship.

"Jack, Rosabelle!" Gibbs greeted. Jack gave him the canteen.

"Bloody empty." I scanned the ship until I spotted Elizabeth fighting a pirate. He's about to bring his sword down on her, when I grabbed his wrist.

"That's not very nice." I taunted before Elizabeth knocked him overboard.

"It's pleasant to to see you again." I greeted her, in a formal voice.

"The pleasure's all mine." She replied in the same tone, but then we burst out half laughing half crying and hugged each other tightly. "I missed you so much, Rosabelle."

"Not half as much as I missed you." I said.

"Hate to break up this reunion." Jack interrupted, he faced Elizabeth, "but where's the medallion."

"Wretch," my sister said, and was about to slap him when he caught her wrist and examined the bandage that was wrapped around it.

"Ahh. Where is dear, William." Jack responded.

"Will!" Elizabeth gasped, and ran to the grate, where it seemed Will was stuck underneath. I was about to go over as well when I came face to face with a pirate holding an axe.

"Hello, beautiful." He said before bringing the axe down on me. Dodging out of the way, I snatched a sword from a dead man's hand and began fighting with him. I'd never had much practice but I'd watched others do it so many times, I knew the basics. He took another swing at me, but I blocked it. Then I noticed Jack chasing after a monkey. When I looked closer I saw it was carrying the medallion. The pirate took this distraction to his advantage and brought up his axe about to strike but was again stopped by Mr. Gibbs.

"Bad luck to hurt a lady." He yelled and punched him in the stomach. I'm pretty sure he made that whole bad luck to hurt a lady thing up but I was still grateful.

"Thank you."

"Welcome, Miss." Gibbs replied. I went over to the grate and kneeled down next to Elizabeth.

"Will?" I called, desperate.

"Rosabelle! You're safe." He exclaimed.

"Yes, but you're not! Can we help?" No answer.

"Will!" Elizabeth cried,

"Can you hear me Will? Will!" I screamed. Suddenly I felt strong arms tear me away from the grate, I looked at who it was. The African pirate. Just great. Elizabeth, also was taken. Bo'sun took me over back to the Pearl.

"Let me go!" I yelled, trying to kick him, but he held me still. He plonked me on the deck floor. I stood up, only to get tied up with the rest of the crew. The fat pirate held up his pistol and circled us.

"If any of you as much as thinks the word, 'Parley'. I'll have your guts for garters."

The Interceptor blows up. I was so shocked I couldn't speak. Will had still been in there. I gulped back tears.

"Will!" Elizabeth yelled, and started to punch Barbossa, who hardly took notice. "You've got to stop it. Stop it!"

"Welcome back, Miss. you took advantage of our hospitality last time. It holds fair now that you return the favour." Barbossa taunted. Someone lept up on deck. Were my eyes deceiving me? Was it… Will!

"Barbossa!" He called.

"Will." Elizabeth breathed.

"Elizabeth and Rosabelle go free." Will stated, pointing a pistol at the Captain.

"What's in your head, boy?" Barbossa scoffed.

"They go free!" Will repeated.

"You've only got one shot, and we can't die." Barbossa laughed.

"Don't do anything stupid." Jack pleaded to Will who ignored him.

"You can't. I can." He pointed the pistol to his own head. I stifled a scream. What was Will thinking! He couldn't… He wouldn't…

"Like that." Jack said, sadly.

"Who are you?" Barbossa asked, confused. Jack butted in.

"No-one. He's no-one. A distant cousin of my of my Aunt's nephew twice removed. lovely singing voice, though ― Eunuch."

"My name is William Turner. My father was Bootstrap Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins."

"He's the spitting image of ol' Bootstrap come back to haunt us." A pirate said.

"On my word do as I say, or I'll pull this trigger and be lost to Davy Jones' Locker." Will stated. Barbossa gave up.

"Name your terms, Mr. Turner."

"Elizabeth and Rosabelle go free,"

"Yes, we know that one. Anything else?" I noticed Jack pointing to himself, hand signaling to Will.

"And the crew ― the crew are not to be harmed." Will guessed.

"Agreed."

The pirates made Elizabeth walk the plank.

"Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she'd go free!" Will accused.

"Don't dare impugn me honor, boy. I agreed she'd so free, but it was you who failed to specify when or where." Barbossa snapped. pirates gag Will and held him back. "Though it does seem a shame to lose something so fine, don't it lads?" The crew agreed. "So I'll be having that dress back before you go." I heard Jack trying to talk his way out of things with some pirates who just growled at him.

"It goes with your black heart." Elizabeth insulted, tossing Barbossa the dress. Barbossa pressed the dress to his face.

"Ooh, it's still warm." I would be false to say I wasn't disgusted.

"Off you go, come on!" The pirates urged as my sister slowly walked across the plank.

"Too long!" Bo'sun said impatiently and stood on the plank, shaking it. Elizabeth fell feet-first into the water.

"You evil, cockroach!" I screamed at Barbossa.

"You next." He responded. I gulped as weapons were pointed at me. I had no choice but to walk forward. "You know, I was thinking of keeping you. But, I decided you needed to learn more respect. Maybe this hellish island will teach you some." I didn't answer, just carried on down the plank. I was so scared, I was shaking. Then all of a sudden someone rattled the plank and I tumbled into the water below.

I couldn't swim. I didn't know how. My dress was pulling me lower and lower into the water, I'd held my breath but I was running out of air. I tried to paddle but it was useless. My head throbbed and my vision was blacking out, I reached the bottom and I tried to push off from the ground, but my foot was stuck between to rocks. I saw was a splash and a figure swimming towards me. Then everything went black.
