"Let me off here," she said. "I'll go in the row boat. If we go any further we could be easily seen."
"Fine, love," he said. "But don't you think you should take someone with you? You'd be a fool to take on a crew of pirates on your own, say you were spotted?"
"Will went by himself," Brianna said.
"Good idea, why don't you take him?"
Brianna thought for a minute. She ran to find Will. He was sitting on the side of the boat holding onto a piece of rope.
"Will? Jack suggested I bring you aboard Blackbeard's ship since your good at rescuing people. Can you come?" Brianna asked.
"I suppose I could," said Will, jumping down. "How far are we to the ship?"
"It's only a few leuges away. We have to lower the lifeboat into the water, though, because if we go any further, we could blow our cover."
Will helped Brianna lower the lifeboat into the sea, and said their final goodbyes.
As Brianna said goodbye to Jack, he gave her his pistol.
"But this is yours!" she said.
"I'm not giving it to you, love. I'm just lending it to you. It kills better than a sword so it'll come in handy."
"Thanks Jack."
As Brianna said goodbye to Elizabeth, she reminded her of the the pirate's code, Parlay.
"Don't worry," Brianna said. "I've used it many times, and it's saved my hide."
After numerous goodbyes, Will and Brianna climbed into the rowboat, and rowed off.
While rowing, Brianna got tears in her eyes. "They could have already killed him," she muttered.
"Most likely not," Will said. "There would be to many privateers around in the day for them to kill, wouldn't they?"
"I guess so," Brianna thought. Will's comment calmed her slightly, but she still had a thousand butterflies in her stomach.
When they reached the ship, Brianna jumped on a dangling rope that was just in arms reach and started to climb it, followed by Will.
When they reached the top, they saw the whole crew up on deck.
"When will we put this lying dog to his death? The captain said it would be on the stroke of midnight!" said one pirate.
"It's only 11:55," said another.
Brianna gasped. They had five minutes to save Derik! She had to act quickly. She found a large stone on the deck and threw it in the water.
"What the bloody hell was that?" yelled the crew rushing to the side.
"It must have been a fish!"
"Maybe it was a mermaid!"
"Mermaids don't exsist you idiot!"
As a fight broke out among the crew, Brianna and Will ran silently into the first mate's cabin. They found Derik sitting on his bed, praying. He looked up and saw Brianna and Will.
"Brianna! What'er you-!"
"SSHHH!" Brianna said, desprately. "Will and I are here to save you! I promised I come back for you, now we-"
"Shh!" Will said. "Listen, the crew has stopped arguing... Come, we have to-"
Suddenly, the door burst open in walk Blackbeard. He saw Brianna and WIll and narrowed his eyes at them.
"Well, well, well, look who it is! Little Miss Brianna-in-love, and a usless pretty boy, trying to save a man condemmed to death."
"Parlay!" Brianna yelled.
Blackbeard chuckled and took a step toward her. "I'm very disapointed in you, Brianna. After seven years on my ship I would have thought you'd understand me, now. I'm a rougue pirate! I couldn't care less about the code! To me, it's noting but something you would put down a latrine (A/N: A latrine at that time, was really a bathroom. Just so you know!)!"
Blackbeard pulled out his gun, and pointed it at Brianna. "Such a shame, Brianna," he said, "you were, indeed, quite useful!"
Brianna knocked Blackbeard's gun out of his hand such force it slammed against the wall and shot a bullet at Blackbeard barley missing head head as he ducked.
Brianna grabbed derik's hand and Will's and dragged them out.
The crew saw them, and started sword fighting, Brianna, Derik, and Will all fought together, but it was no use, they were soon conered at the side of the boat, and Blackbeard approached them.
"Give it up, Brianna!" he said. "You lose! It's over!"
"No it's not!" Brianna took out Jack's pistol and pointed it at Blackbeard.
Blackbeard laughed. "You couldn't shoot your pistol straight if your life depended on it!"
"Oh yeah?" Brianna said. "Well, this isn't mine! It's the Pistol of captain Jack Sparrow's!" With those last words, she shot Blackbeard on the heart.
Blackbeard looked at his wound. "You... little..." with that, he fell, dead, and Brianna, Derik, and Will jumped over the side of the boat and swam to the life boat.
When they got in Derik gave Brianna a long, passionat kiss. "Thank you so much for saving me! I thought I was never going to see you again!"
Brianna rested her head on his shoulder. "Believe me, Derik, it's been a hectic three days, and I can't wait to tell you about it!"
As the three-some reached their own boat, Jack, Elizabeth, and Bootstrap helped them get up on deck. Jack struggled trying to haul Will up onto the deck.
"Geez, If i were you, I'd cut down on the sweets, mate!" he said, smiling. Will made a face.
"You really don't know a joke when you hear one, do you?" Jack said.
The two couples, the recently dumped suitor, and his father went below deck (putting the achor down, of course!) and told Derik what had happend to them.
"You rocked my Brianna into the cold harsh sea?" Derik spat at Will, as he told of yesterday.
"You didn't tell me that, Will!" Bootstrap said. "She's only nineteen!"
"Guys, it's ok, it's in the past. I'm tough, you know that!" Brianna said.
"I believ me," Derik said, "I know you're tough. You killed Davey Jone's Kraken all by yourself!"
"Look, I don't know about you guys," Brianna said. "But I am really tired!"
"Same here, love!" Jack said. "Brianna, Derik, you can sleep in the cabin next to ours, Will, Bill..." Jack hesitated. "Unless you want to sleep on the deck, you'll have to sleep in one of these hamocks and keep the rum company."
"As long as I get to sleep," Will said.
They bade each other good night, and dowsed the lamps. Brianna and Derik wen't into the cabin next to Jack and Elizabeth's as Will tried to get comfortable in the net hamock.
What a way to spend a cold hard night. Jack, Elizabeth, Brianna, and Derik were all comfortable and warm in their cabins, and he was cold, below deck, sleeping in a hamock.
Will siged and turned over. It's better than sleeping in the crow's nest, he thought.

Davey Jones spied a ship ahead. "Ah, it must be Jack Sparrow's," he said. He told one of his crew members to turn The Flying Dutchman towards that ship. Within a few minutes, they were right beside the boat.
"Ah yes," Davey said. 'The sweet taste of revenge!"
The crew members were about to climb onto the ship, but davey stopped them. "This is my revenge, and I'll handle this," he said, as he climbed onto the boat.
He tiptoed across the deck. They must be some where! he thought. He looked below deck. He heard to people snoring. They sounded like men. Davey couldn't care less.
He looked in a cabin, there was that youth he saw three days ago when he paid Jack and his lady a suprise visit. The girl was sitting on the deck staring in shock at them.
The girl was now sleeping beside what seemed to be her man. Davey decided to leave them. It was't what he was looking for, anyway.
Then, he stepped into the biggest cabin. He saw Jack sleeping in his bed, next to... yes.. this is what he was looking for. His... oh my... a ring! His fiancee!
Quietly, and calmly, Davey took the woman and carried her back to his ship. "And so the pay back begins!" he said.
