DISCLAIMER: I still will never own POTC.

"Blackbeard. Edward Teach. The pirate all pirates fear. Resurrector of the dead in his spare time."

Chapter 14

"What should we do, captain?" Maccus asked Will. "Uh... not entirely sure. what do you think Jack?" Everyone looked to Jack for an answer, but he stood there just as confused as everyone else. "What? I'm not your captain!" he shouted. "I only asked because you have Blackbeard's soul inside you! Do you want us to attack or..." "No!" Angelica shouted. "You will not attack my ship!" "Your ship? I think that I got to it way before you did!" Barbossa interjected. Soon, Angelica and Barbossa were fighting and Jack was taken over by Blackbeard again, but Jack's eyes stayed the same, so there was no way of telling that Blackbeard had taken over. "Will you two shut it! Will, let the Revenge come. I'll be boarding her with Angelica and Barbossa so everything's fair! Savvy?" 'Jack' said. Everyone fell silent and looked at Jack like he had three heads. "Okay... douse canvass and ready the gangplank," Will instructed the crew.

"Jack, what're you doing?" Angelica asked. "What, am I not allowed to go on 'your' ship? Is there some rule! I think not! Go on, off with you!" 'Jack' answered her. Angelica knew something wasn't right with him. "Mate, don't get angry at her. She did nothin' wrong," Barbossa said, backing Angelica up. "Oh, lookie here! It seems that Miss Teach and 'Captain' Barbossa have a certain amount of feelings for each other! Ha ha! You know, if I didn't know any better, I would think that you had a lot of feelings for her, Hector!" 'Jack' yelled, his anger boiling in his veins. Angelica had definitely had enough. She slapped 'Jack' across the face. The real Jack came back through and was very, very confused. "What the hell..." he mumbled. "You know exactly what the hell, Sparrow!" Angelica shouted at him. "Now, love, I think that I don't know what the hell. What exactly just happened?"

"What're you talking about! You were just ranting about me and Barbossa! You hijo de puta!"

"That I definitely don't know the answer to, but why don't ya say we go to me cabin and... talk things over."

"I swear to God, Jack Sparrow, if you try and take advantage of me, I will kill you."

"That's a risk I'm willin' to take, love." And with that, the two headed down to Jack's cabin. Angelica was sitting in a chair and Jack sat on his bed. "So, what are we supposed to be talking about?" Angelica asked, with hatred in her voice. "What did I say up there? I... I don't remember a thing. I... can't remember the last thing I said to you that made you so upset... I don't know what's wrong with me."

"Oh, Jack. Nothing's wrong with you. You're just a heartless, rum-soaked bastard."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"You make me so angry."

"Uh-huh."

"And irritated."

"Go on."

"And it feels like I want to kill you."

"Mhm. Get that a lot."

"Shut up! I hate you! I fu..."

"Oi! Language!"

"I said shut up! I hate you, Jack!"

"And I love you too."

"Shut up! For the last time! You are the most self-centered, irresponsible, foolish, man I've ever met!"

"And that's why you can't stay away from me." With that, Angelica's anger hit its peak. She got out of her chair, walked toward the bed and put her hand around Jack's throat. She forced him downward, and put more pressure on his throat. He was gasping for air, until he thought of something. "Angelica... what... what if... I didn't say... those things... what if... it was your..." Angelica knew what he was going to say, and pressed harder. Jack was not happy at all for her not letting him finish his thought, but he had to get out of this trap alive. He reached for his pistol, took it out, and pointed it at her. "You wouldn't."

"I bet... I would." He cocked the gun and smiled. She lessened the pressure on his throat and pulled away. Jack coughed and sat up. "So, as I was saying, what if it was your dearly beloved father who came out again?"

"Your eyes didn't change."

"But my temperament sure did." Angelica took that into consideration. What if it was her father and he had just become a lot stronger. She couldn't let that happen again. Not to him.

"Alright, Jack. I'll believe you, but next time, try and do your best to fight him back."

"Will do."

Back on the deck, Barbossa was looking out to the growing Revenge on the horizon. Why did Jack say that? About me and Angelica? I don't have feelings for her, at all for that matter. She's just another woman in my life that I don't care for. She's Jack's girl, I think. Barbossa was talking to himself when Elizabeth approached him. "Still thinking?" she asked. "Aye."

"I've never seen Jack that mad before. Do... do you think that Blackbeard came through again?"

"Hard to say. Known him for this long and never, ever seen him like that..."

"Yeah... he's such a good man, but I didn't recognize him at all when he was yelling..." They stood there for a while without talking. The image of the Revenge getting bigger and bigger. It was next to the Dutchman, and they lowered the gangplank between both ships. Barbossa was the first one over. "Captain," one of the members of the Revenge said as Barbossa walked onto it. He nodded to the man and continued to walk on. He assumed his position back at the helm and placed his hands on the wheel. He saw Angelica walk on the deck and stare at him. She went up the stairs and stood next to him. "Ahem..." she said. Barbossa looked at her and, completely out of his character, relinquished the wheel to her. Even Angelica was stunned. Barbossa nodded to her and went down the stairs.

About this time, Jack had come over to the Revenge and was fighting Blackbeard as best he could. He would not let him come through again. He walked up to the helm with Angelica. "So, how about the Pearl," he whispered in Angelica's ear in the voice he knew she couldn't resist. "You'll get it when you prove yourself... strong enough," she answered back, in the voice she knew he couldn't resist. "Alright then," he said. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck. "How is this proving yourself strong, Jack?" she whispered. "Any other time... I would do this... he would spoil... our fun," he said, and in between every pause, he would kiss her. He finally got to the place where she was most sensitive. "Oh, Jack," she whispered. He smiled against her skin and continued. Then it hit him. Blackbeard was trying so desperately to get through and become captain of his ship once again, but Jack stopped him by being "strong enough". But that came with him having to stop kissing Angelica and attend to his problem. For a brief moment, he opened his eyes and they were Blackbeard black, but they changed back into his original eyes.

"Whew! That's the last time he'll ever try to get through!" Jack said triumphantly. Angelica smiled and hugged him. "You did it! You finally did it!" "Yup, I sure did, love. I did it for you," he said, tilting her head up to look at him. She put her hand on his face and he leaned into it. Their faces were leaning into each other, their lips about to touch, until Jack pulled away and fell to the ground in unimaginable pain. He screamed bloody murder and Angelica rushed to his side. Barbossa quickly hobbled up the stairs and didn't believe what he saw. Jack was writhing in pain on the deck and there was no source. "What's happenin' to 'im?" the ship doctor asked Barbossa. "Does it look like I know!" he answered. "Angelica... the doll..." Jack choked out. She reached into her pocket and it was empty... She lost it. "Oh God..." "You... have to... find it... please..." he said before shutting his eyes. "Jack... don't shut your eyes... stay here... don't close your eyes... I'll be right back..." she said. She ran back over to the Dutchman and looked all over for the voodoo doll. She ran down below deck and check the brigs, just in case. And there it was. Tucker had it, and was hitting it with his pocket knife. "Tucker! You give that to me now!" Angelica screamed. Tucker looked at her and had an evil smile on his face. Angelica had had it. She broke down the door and reached Tucker. She ripped the doll out of his hands and took his knife as well. "What the hell do you think you're doin'! You could have killed him!" she screamed. But Tucker's smile only broadened. "I know that. I meant for that to happen. I want him dead," he said. "Why would you want him dead!" Angelica screamed again. "He betrayed me, my father, my mother, and you. He killed you father, Angelica. Remember all the things he's done to you..." Angelica couldn't think of that right now. Tucker sounded exactly like her father when he wanted revenge.

"No... you're becoming him..." she stammered. Tucker's smile broadened even more. It was as if Blackbeard's soul left Jack and went into Tucker. He pushed Angelica out of the way and headed up the stairs. Angelica was right on his tail and arrived on the deck. By then, Will, Elizabeth, and Gibbs were on the Revenge, talking to some of the crewmembers. She saw Tucker walk the gangplank and enter the captain's quarters of the Revenge. What is he doing? she thought. She arrived back on the Revenge and went back to the helm. Jack was now sitting up, drinking what looked like water. There were blood spots all over his white shirt. Angelica sat next to Jack and gave him the voodoo doll. "Why, thank you, love," he said, showing her his signature golden smile. He put an arm around her and pulled her close. "Who had it?" he asked.

"Tucker... he wanted you dead..."

"That's funny. I would never had seen him like the murderous type."
"Well, his mother did kill ya Jack," Barbossa said. "Yes, yes. Must run in the family," Jack supposed. Then, they heard the captain's cabin doors open with a bang. Jack got up and looked over the rail down to the deck. "Ladies and gentlemen..." It was Tucker's voice. "Please allow me to introduce you to the most feared pirate in all the seven seas. Back from Hell, Edward Teach!" Jack looked at Angelica in shock. Back from the dead? Not possible! But he saw the looks of Will, Elizabeth, Gibbs, and the crewmen. Then, he saw a dark figure step out of the doors. Blackbeard was alive once again.

Okay, so Blackbeard's back, and Tucker wants Jack dead. What else could go wrong? If you're confused on how Blackbeard came back, he'll explain it in the next chapter...
