Once, Forever and Always
Chapter 11- Part of the crew, part of the ship
I knock a fishman off the boat as he swings over to the Pearl. I grabbed the rope and use it to swing over to the Dutchman. As both my feet touch the floor boards of the boat the first thing I notice is Elizabeth by the stairs and Will on the floor, five feet away from her with a sword towards his chest.
"Jones!" I call out hoping that I can prevent whatever is going to happen next. Jones spins around and turns to me with his sword facing me. I put my sword up ready to protect myself.
"I understand that you are heartbroken but there is no means for this madness!" I yell. I watch as people fight with each other in till their opponent is dead or dying.
"I am not! You don't understand love nor the break of the heart!" My eyes quickly flash to Jack then back Jones without meaning to. The blood drains from my face as I see Jones's smirk grow and eye's flash to the spot that mine were just at- where Jack currently stands.
"So you have felt loves king sting and the break of a heart!"
I don't say anything as watch Jones's every moment. Nothing but the waves being crashed against the side of the boat could be heard for about five seconds. Jones's turned back to Will.
"Ah, love! A dreadful bond, and yet so easily severed. Tell me William Turner, do you fear death?"
Jack holds Jones's heart in his hand while the other hand holds a broken sword pointing to it. "Do you? Ain't it tonic, holding life and death in the palm of one's hand?"
"You're a cruel man, Jack Sparrow!" Jones spats.
"Cruel is a matter of perspective."
"Is it?" Jones turns around and stabs Will and twists the sword to both sides. I gasp and watch horror and everyone around me does the same. I can only hear Jones's cruel laugh.
"Will! Look at me, stay with me! You're alright!" I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Elizabeth screaming. "Will! Will, look at me! Look at me!"
Jack slides the sword into Will's hand and has him stab the heart to save Will's life. Davy Jones falls over the ship dead not even a couple moments later. I watch as Will slowly dies from my frozen spot. I had no idea what to do in a time like this.
"Part of the crew, part of the ship. Part of the crew, part of the ship. Part of the crew, part of the ship..." The flying Dutchman's crew repeated those words over and over again. Those words echoed through my head as I remember Bootstrap's same words the night James's died.
"Don't leave me! I won't leave you!" Elizabeth is literally dragged away from Will by Jack. Jack grabs me by my waist and drags me to the side of the ship.
"Hold on!" Jack yells as my arms are wrapped around his waist and Elizabeth's around his neck, crying. We land in the sea and are quickly pulled in by the crew of the Pearl.
"Thank goodness Jack! The armada's still out there, the Endeavour's coming up hard to starboard, and I think it's time we embraced that oldest and noblest of pirate traditions." Gibbs says coming up to Jack.
"Never actually been one for tradition. Close haul outs!" Jack whispers more to himself than to Gibbs but shouts the order.
"Belay that! or we'll be a sitting duck" Barbossa shouts taking charge.
"Belay that, belay that!" Jack shouts.
"But captain-" Gibbs starts but Jack quickly interrupts him.
"Belay!"
"The armada-" Gibbs starts again but is again cut off by Jack.
"Belay!"
"The Endeavour-" Again Gibbs starts to say but is again cut off by Jack shouting.
"No, no, shut it!"
"Jack!" I shout walking over to him. I had wanted to talk to him for some time now but I didn't know how to start the conversation that was about to come. Jack notices the look on my face and smiles a sad smile.
"Well talk later love, I promise."
