From the beginning, I wasn't well on Wednesday physically sick so I was sent home from work and Thursday managed to get into work feeling like death itself but today (Friday) I'm feeling much better but also worrying and confused about tomorrow (Saturday) My 3rd sister is getting married to her partner that's been with for the last 13 years and she's coming to OUR house to put on the dress, sort out her kids… and my mum isn't too pleased with her at the moment….

Chapter Eight: Saved, Mutiny and Blackbeard
Jenna
"Um Barbossa… Why do you want me to go in there with you alone?" Jenna managed to find her voice as she stared blankly into the room where Barbossa was standing in.
"Don't be shy…" Barbossa replied, coming back to the door and then suddenly he grabbed her arm hard making her yell in shock.
"GET OFF ME YOU CREEPY PEG LEGGED MAN!" Jenna cried out struggling in his grip but she wasn't that strong and he won, he dragged through the cabin door banging it shut behind them.
She started to panic madly, she was crying out hard as he forced her back onto a chair roughly and he stood over her.
"You do as you're told! Remember why you're here!" He reminded her, Jenna didn't forget why – all because of Cutler Beckett marrying another woman her mind wandered back to the memories she had of him… Is he happily married? Does he have children now? The many questions went through her mind.
"Now, Miss Jenna…." Barbossa began to say, she gulped instantly not liking the look in his eyes or the tone of his voice.
"What?"
"I thought I had told ye to behave yourself…" Barbossa said, he walked over to the chair opposite her with a grimly smile on his face.
"Excuse me but I have… I've cleaned this ship top to bottom for the past year! What more do you want?" Jenna argued back, crossing her arms.
Barbossa studied her for a moment or two, Jenna had grown before his eyes the past year – she had become more self-confident, hard worker, and she cared for the officers on the ship keeping them entertained with jokes, playing cards… but most of all, he noticed her looks yes she had grown a lot taller since the last time he saw her that day in Port Royal, her hair was also longer flowing down her back also she loved wearing nice dresses as he kept staring he was thinking to himself – as he thought, there was something stirring inside of him and he knew what that was: loneliness.
Barbossa was lonely – all these years he had no one, no one cared for him or loved him so he ignored it but now he wasn't.
Without thinking or speaking, he stood up and lunged at Jenna. She screamed instantly as she saw him do this, both of his hands held her arms tightly and she tried struggling out of his grip but she couldn't.
"LET ME GO!" Jenna screamed at the top of her lungs, hoping someone would hear her pleads.
Barbossa grabbed the girl up, pushing her backwards towards the desk which was in the room but Jenna wasn't having any of it, she struggled and tried throwing punches at him but nothing was working.
"LET ME THE HELL GO! HELP! SOMEONE!" Jenna kept yelling, and soon she heard a scurry of footsteps running on the ceiling above them and then the door to the cabin was pulled open revealing Gillette and Gibbs standing there.
"CAPTAIN!" Gillette said loudly, rushing over to him and Jenna tearing them apart.
"GET OUT OF THIS CABIN!" Barbossa ordered to them both, but they didn't pay any attention, Gibbs came over and joined Gillette he managed to pull Barbossa off Jenna and Gillette held the girl in his arms securely.
"Get Jenna out of here…" Gibbs told Gillette whilst holding Barbossa back from them both.
Gillette nodded and without a word, he led Jenna into the open air he looked down to the girl she was paler than usual and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Miss Jenna?"
Jenna's head tilted up slightly to look up to Gillette, she blinked and that's when it happened she felt the tears from her eyes fall freely down her cheeks and she began sobbing uncontrollable.
Gillette breathe out and took her over to the nearest seat, he sat her down and he sat next to her – he wondered for a while what to do, he never had a woman cry on him before she was the first one.
Slowly but surely, Gillette's arms came around her body and automatically pressed her head into his chest feeling the warmness radiating from him, her tears fell into the material of his uniform soaking them up.
"Thank you…"
"Pardon?" Gillette's eyes widen a little; Jenna moved her head back from his chest to look in those bright eyes of his.
"I said….Thank you…." Jenna sniffed, gulping back and drying her tears.
"I…I…um…that is okay…." Gillette stuttered back, looking down to the floor, blushing making sure that she didn't notice.
"I don't want to ever see him again…"
"Don't worry, you won't… I will make sure you don't… now come on, I shall take you to your cabin" Gillette replied, he stood up offering out his arm to Jenna.
She smiled a little but took it gently getting up and both of them walked along the deck going towards Jenna's cabin.
As they were walking, Gibbs appeared and came over to them shaking his head…
"Mister Gibbs, what happened?" Gillette was the first to ask about what happened to Barbossa and why did he attack Jenna like that.
"Captain Barbossa, he is much calmer now… you better stay out of his way Miss…" Gibbs looked directly at Jenna, she nodded and they walked him go past them back up to the helm to finish directing them.
"Come on…" Jenna held Gillette's arm tighter and they stopped outside her cabin door.
"Can you… no…" She began to say, but stopped shaking her head.
"What is it?" Gillette asked her, frowning slightly.
"Can you stay with me for a while, please?"
Gillette stared at her and he cleared his throat trying to think of an answer, but her eyes were looking up at him pleading almost for him to stay…
"Okay, only for a while though Miss Jenna – I do have duties to do…"
Jenna smiled, and opened the door for him and he went through and she followed feeling much better than earlier.
Maisie/Flik
Queen Anne's Revenge: Night.
"Here we go…!"
Flik passed over a spare white blouse through the small crack of the door but she heard someone behind the door stumble and crash into something.
"Maisie? You okay in there?"
Maisie's blonde head peered through the door, it was all messed up and the blouse Flik just given her was all wonky on her body.
"I'm fine! Remind me why I have to change?" Maisie stepped through the door, Flik looked her friend up and down nodding – Maisie was now wearing brown knee length boots, black trousers and a white blouse that Flik had managed to find aboard the ship they were imprisoned on.
"This isn't 2011 anymore; people are going to stare at you in your hoodie and jeans!" Flik rolled her eyes to her.
Both girls smiled to each other then they heard footsteps coming near them and they watched as Jack and Will walked straight passed them.
"Um, guys?" Maisie called out to them and then they heard the footsteps coming back and there appeared once again was Jack and Will.
"Ah! There you are…!" Jack smiled, coming over to Flik with a huge grin on his face looking down at her.
"Miss me?" Flik smiled back, and he leant down giving her a small kiss on her lips and then suddenly grabbed her hand dragging her off…
"Oh! JACK!" Flik tutted rolling her eyes as they moved along the deck, she looked behind them and saw that Maisie wasn't behind her.
Maisie and Will stood next to each other; his eyes were wandering up and down her new outfit in shock.
"Wow, Maisie I um…like your outfit…" Will managed to say raising his eyebrows high and giving her a smile.
"Why, um…thank you Orlando" Maisie sweetly smiled back, blushing as he kept looking at her.
"Why do you and Flik always call me Orlando?" He shook his head, laughing gently under his breathe.
"Don't you like it?"
"It's…." Will started to say, but he saw the look on Maisie's face she was smiling ear to ear with a slight twinkle in her eyes.
"I love it, now come on… Jack is up to something…" Will lightly held Maisie's hand and both of them walked to where Jack and Flik was.
"The topic is mutiny, gentlemen – Mutiny most foul" Jack said, he lit a candle showing all the faces of the crew in a circle staring at him.
"What are you now Miss Marple?"
Flik looked up from her seated position next to Jack to see Maisie and Will finally arriving and joining them.
"Not the time, Maisie…" Flik gave her a look and drew her attention back to the crew members, both Maisie and her now knew all the crew members names after learning them after today's chores on the ship.
"Aye! I signed on to sail under Jack Sparrow, not some pretender" the pirate called Salaman piped up.
They all nodded in turn agreeing, "And a lady at that!" another pirate called Ezekiel told them as well.
"And mention was failed to be made of this uncanny crew…" The cook of the ship eyed the people next to him.
"OH! You mean the zombie dudes? Don't you…. "Maisie pointed to the cook and they all rolled their eyes at her.
"Curl my toes, they do…!" Purser shuddered at the thought of those weird Zombie men.
Flik tutted and turned her head to Jack's who was listening to the men's conversations as they started muttering against themselves.
"Mrs Sparrow! Mrs Sparrow! I got them all!" Two men stood aside as the small cabin boy appeared and threw down the swords and daggers onto the table with a smile.
"Thank you Ben…" Flik smiled and ruffled the boy's hair with her hand as the boy sat down next to the two men.
"You think too much like me…" Jack silently whispered into her ear and kissed it slowly.
"Got a problem with that?" She answered back, raising an eyebrow and smiling…
"On to it then, Blackbeard what are his habits?" Flik asked out loud, directing the question to the crew.
All of them thought for a moment of two, looking at each other again and to others around the room.
"Stays mostly in his cabin!" Scrum replied out loud, all of the crew members started nodding again and muttering amongst themselves saying 'Aye' and 'Mostly in his cabin…'
"Yes, but when he comes out…?" Flik raised her eyebrows to him and he looked confused at her.
Flik and Jack then turned to each other looking at each other and then back towards the group.
"He must come out sometime..!" Jack asked this time, but the room they were in went quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Any of you sailed with him before?" Maisie came into the conversation, standing up and coming next to Scrum with her hands on her hips.
"So… stays in his cabin – no one has seen or sailed with him! Good news gentlemen this is not Blackbeard's ship! This is not the Queen Anne's Revenge!" Maisie clapped wildly and smiled to them all.
"Oh, but milady…this be the Revenge, right enough" Scrum butted in, looking up to Maisie.
"How do you know?" Jack questioned.
"Seen the name, on the back of the ship" Scrum smiled like a Chester cat at Jack who just stared at him amazed.
"Right then, gentlemen a man's first duty is less to his office than his honour, and that he cannot perform if deceived"
"We're decepted, then?" Salaman replied to Jack's question and both him and Flik nodded back to him.
"Aye, ye've nay be informed of our destination – death lies before us. We sail for the Fountain Of Youth"
Suddenly everyone gasped loudly, their eyes opened wide shocked at their location they were heading too.
"It be a sorry plight, mates…" Flik breathe out, looking at Maisie and Will she had moved back to Will and was nearly sitting on his lap!
"Death for certain!"
"The garden of darkened souls…"
"Oy! Untimely our ends will be!" A few crew members said to Jack and Flik, shaking their heads and giving each other more looks of worry.
"Unless….we take the ship…!" Jack leaned in closer to them all, giving them a knowing look.
"WE TAKE THE SHIP THEN! NOW!" Scrum yelled, grabbing one of the swords from the table and charging out of the door yelling.
"NEEEEYEAH!" Maisie yelled also, she came over and grabbed one of the swords also following Scrum.
"COME ON THEN! EVERYONE LET'S GO!" Maisie commanded them, and they all shouted to each other grabbing the swords off the table and going after her and Scrum throughout the door.
"Oh, bloody horses…" Flik slapped her own head and shook it side to side at Maisie's actions.
"Well, that was easy…" Jack shrugged, and he grabbed one of the swords and threw it over to Will.
"Still know how to handle one of those, William?" Jack smirked, and Will shook his head also remembering the first time both him and Jack met.
Will was soon out of the door also, he was yelling at the sleeping crew members waking them up so they could join in – Jack and Flik were the only ones left in the room, he gave her the 2nd to last sword with a smile.
"Do you want to deal with Angelica for me?" Jack asked her, she smiled wide and quickly gave her husband a long lingering kiss on his lips before she ran off in the direction of that Spanish woman's cabin.
All Flik could hear above deck was loud shouting, clashing of swords and splashes of people being thrown overboard – finally Flik found Big Nose's cabin and she opened the door quietly looking inside to see Angelica sleeping soundly.
She looked around the room wondering what she use to silence that bitch, then she had a brainwave… quickly she took off the belt from around her waist and tiptoed over to her, she then quickly as well tied the belt around Angelica's wrists and tighten it up making sure she didn't get free.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Flik jumped out of her skin and saw that Big Nose was looking at her with anger and frustration, Flik smiled at her and then shoved a cloth into Angelica's mouth silencing her.
Angelica yelled through the cloth as Flik grabbed her up and dragged her over to the nearest cupboard and threw her inside, locking the door.
"You don't mess with the Sparrows!" Flik called through the door and she raced out of the room towards the deck.
On the deck, Maisie was yelling and clashing her sword with one of the zombie man's sword.
"TAKE THAT! AND THAT! YES! THOSE FENCING LESSONS ARE PAYING OFF!" Maisie shouted, lunging at the right moments and attacking at the right ones too, Will at that moment also came over and started to help her.
Flik looked around frantically on the deck trying to spot Jack but she couldn't, then someone pushed her from behind and she turned to see it was one of the pirates that weren't on their side attacking her.
"Oh, you bastard…!" Flik swept her sword in front of her, attacking the man who was blocking her moves but soon she managed to get the sword free from his hands and he cowered away.
The attacks on the deck were getting madder by the second, all the men were attacking the zombie men throwing nets over the top of them or trying to push them overboard with all the strength they had.
Flik was out of breathe and then she looked up to see Phillip still tied to the mast, his body hanging over the rope that was around him – in that instant, she went straight over to the rigging and started to climb it going up and up and then she stopped as she reached him.
On the other side of Phillip, Jack was also climbing the rigging and he stopped at him also but he looked over to see Flik was there also.
"Took your time!" Flik called over to him, sticking out her tongue her hand came up towards Phillip's ropes and she started to cut them.
"You're either with us or against us!" Salaman appeared next to Jack, giving the priest a stern look.
"I am not with you. Neither against you" Phillip muttered back as Flik finally freed the last of the rope that was around him.
"Can he do that?"
"He's religious. I believe it's required…!" Jack said, he came across grabbing Flik's waist and both of them dropped down to the deck again.
"YOU!"
Flik shot around to see Angelica with a few zombie men coming towards her, she backed away banging her back against the mast.
"How the fuck did you escape?" Flik spat back, giving her an evil look.
"You forget, I've been with Jack too… I know his tricks of escaping" Big Nose replied back, trying to make Flik jealous.
Then out of the blue, Angelica grabbed Flik's hair making her yell loudly as she threw her onto the deck – Maisie looked around as she heard her friend scream and saw Angelica grabbing Flik's hair.
"HEY! PREGGERS!" Maisie yelled, and saw ran forward tackling Angelica to the ground hard and pinning her there.
"No one messes with my friends!" Maisie told her throwing a punch at Angelica's face; she hit her lip and made it bleed.
"FIGHT! TO THE BITTER END! YOU CACK HANDED APES!" Jack yelled to the crew members as he came over helping Flik up making sure she was alright, then another zombie man came towards them – Flik came in front of Jack, putting her sword up clanging it with the zombie man's fighting him off…Jack then pulled her back, twirling her away from him so he could attack the man he thrusted his sword hard against his outmatching the man's then a few crew members came and threw a netting over the zombie man, taking him away.
"TAKE THEM DOWN TIGHT!" Jack shouted again, commanding the crew members to take down the zombie men and surely one by one each of them were taken down by netting or being tied down.
Jack smiled grabbing Flik's hand and led her up the stairs of the Queen Anne's Revenge and they stood side by side looking over the deck.
"THE SHIP IS OURS!" Jack cheered, throwing his sword in the air and so did Flik smiling wide as she looked down to see Maisie was still sitting on top of an annoyed, angry Angelica.
Then suddenly, behind them the big black doors opened loudly with a creak silencing the whole ship as they stared behind them.
'Bang…bang…bang…' Loud heavy footsteps was all you could hear on the ship, Flik's eyes widen as did Jack's as they slowly turned around on the spot.
There stood a medium sized man, dressed all in black – his eyes were blacked with kohl stick like Jack's, he also had a black beard in his hand he was holding a bottle of rum, he slowly took it to his lips and took a sip looking at them both.
"Blackbeard…"
