Chapter Nine: Fire, Voodoo and Mermaids.
Flik/Maisie
"Blackbeard…"
Jack and Flik exchanged looks to each other before turning their attention back to the man in front of them.
There stood Blackbeard aka Edward Teach standing with one hand on his sword and the other holding a glass bottle bringing it up to his mouth.
Jack tugged on Flik's sleeve silently and nodded over to the stairs and they moved away heading down them quietly whilst Angelica elbowed Maisie off her and she stood up glazing up towards the man.
"Excuse me gentlemen. I be place in bewilderment, there I was resting and upon a sudden I hear an ungodly row and open my eyes and what do I see?" Blackbeard's deep voice rang out over the silent ship waiting for an answer but no one said anything.
"The captain's quarters, next I ken and I Edward Teach. Blackbeard and I be in the captain's quarters Aye? And that makes me it naturally follows… captain" He continued, his hand gripped his sword more which made the ropes around the men creak in the wind as they all looked around scared.
"Hence my bewilderment. What of this row on deck? Sailors abandoned their posts, without orders… WITHOUT LEAVE!" Blackbeard shouted as he took out his sword pointing it in front of him showing it to everyone none of them noticing the rope un twisting itself.
At this point, Angelica moved over to the bottom of the stairs giving Flik an evil look and Jack a sexy smile then looking up towards Blackbeard.
"Men before the mast taking the ship for themselves. What will that be First mate?" He looked down to Angelica.
"Mutiny!"
"Again?"
"Mutiny, Captain!"
"Aye, mutiny and what be the fate of mutineers? Now we all know the answer to that don't we? Mutineers HANG!"
Suddenly the whole ship jolted forward causing all the crew members to be thrown off balance onto the deck, Flik crashed her body into Jack who held her close and Maisie was also thrown into the arms of Will.
Everyone then started screaming and yelling, the ropes became alive and started to wrap around their legs and arms hoisting them into the air with them still yelling, the sailings became alive also with the wind suddenly gushing through them.
Without the couples noticing, different bits of rope wrapped around their ankles and tugged hard making them all fall hard onto the ground.
"JACK!" Flik screamed as one of the ropes pulled her hard into the air, Jack tried to grab her hands but it was too late one of the bits of rope also wrapped itself around his boot pulling him hard into the air also.
On the other side of the deck, Maisie was flinging her hands in the air trying to whack away the ropes but nothing was working – Will stood in front of her to try to protect her but that also didn't work and both of them ended up tied to the mast together with the rope around them.
Both Flik and Jack appeared in front of Blackbeard upside down, Jack with a smile on his face and hair hanging upside down with some of it in Flik's face.
"Captain, I'm here to report a mutiny – I can name name's and point fingers" Jack smiled with Flik nodding along "Yes, I can name name's also…Sir…Mister Blackbeard"
Blackbeard chuckled at them and shook his head from side to side; "No need, mister Sparrow and wife. They are sheep and both of you the shepherds" and with that Blackbeard sheathed his sword which made both Flik and Jack drop to the deck with a loud bang.
"Ugh, I don't like him…" Flik whispered as she stumbled to her feet but her eyes were met suddenly by the end of the pistol pointing in between her eyes with Blackbeard holding it and smiling.
Flik rolled her eyes at Blackbeard unfazed by this, with one swift move her hand came up quickly taking the pistol from his hand and she pointed it at Blackbeard.
Before she could say anything, Angelica moved in front of him blocking her from shooting him.
"Father – Remember he has been… to the place we are going…" Angelica said, her eyes shifting to him and back to Flik.
"Have I told you sir, what a lovely daughter you have?" Jack piped up with a smile; Flik turned her head giving Jack a dirty look.
"What a 'lovely daughter' you have? Are you bloody kidding me right now?" Flik nudged Jack right in the chest.
"A fitting last sight for a doomed soul then…" Blackbeard replied and again he snatched the pistol from Flik's hand again and this time he pointed it at Jack.
"Mercy Father, the seas the sky know nothing of mercy. You can put yourself above them" Angelica stood next to him.
"If I didn't kill a man every now and then, they forget who I am…" Blackbeard shrugged whilst Flik rolled her eyes again.
"Who can forget that beard…!" Flik muttered under her tongue and then coughing to cover it up.
"Coward!"
All of them then turned their heads around to see Phillip with his bible, he was the only one not tied up.
"Mmm? Excuse me?" Blackbeard replied to him.
"They do not forget. Your crew sees you for the miscreant you are, a coward! No matter how many you slay" Phillip said to him pointing his bible at him.
"Twice in one day. I find myself in bewilderment..."
"YOU ARE NOT bewildered. You are afraid...You dare not walk the path of righteousness! The way of light!"
"No sir, the fact of it be much simpler than all that...I am a bad man..." Blackbeard smirked stepping closer to his face telling him.
"That too…!"
"TOO RIGHT!" Maisie called over from her position with a smile.
"I think I have to kill you two both…" Blackbeard told Phillip and Maisie who gasped opening her eyes wide.
"NO!" Angelica shouted, stepping forward protecting Phillip from Blackbeard.
"Hm, Latin blood like her mother…" Blackbeard then drew his pistol away from Jack who sighed out loud in relief and he pointed it at Phillip but Angelica protected him again.
"Might as well jump on him and protect him…" Flik crossed her arms, leaning her head on Jack's shoulder.
"Father, you must not!"
"Ah, ah, ah – There I am again, forgetting. My daughter fears for my soul, what's left of it. My eternal soul." He explained and then turned to Angelica continuing "Endless damnation, the fiery pit should I strike down an emissary of the Lord? Worse than all my other sins put together, that's the way of it?"
Blackbeard's hair came up then touching Angelica's hair stroking it a little, Flik and Maisie both together exchanged looks rolling their eyes at Big Nose and him.
"You truly hope to save me, my child…"
"Every soul can be saved" Angelica finally spoke up looking her father in the eyes.
"Be that true, young cleric?" he turned his attention back on Phillip and he nodded back to Blackbeard.
"Yes, though you I see as a bit of a longshot…still I pray for every unfortunate soul on this hell bound vessel" He looked around at every crew member.
"You see?" Angelica tempted to smile at Blackbeard; he slowly gave in to her smile and smiled back to her.
"You disarm me with your faith…" Blackbeard said, he turned from them all looking at the crew members eyeing each one.
"Eight bells, which wretched soul stood watch?" He said but no one answered, again the whole ship was silence.
"We stood watch…Sir..!" Flik raised her hand up and then dragged Jack's hand up too and both of them smiled wide.
Blackbeard laughed out loud and then looked over to his gunner zombie.
"Gunner!" He looked back and then nodded over to the cook tied up near Blackbeard, he looked over and smiled; "You?"
"Aye…" The cook nervously replied, shaking.
"Aye, the cook… Perfect! LOWER THE LONGBOAT!"
Within minutes, the longboat was lowered into dark ocean water with the cook holding the oars – Blackbeard, Angelica, Phillip, Jack and Flik went to the railing to see the longboat before he could give the orders, he looked behind him and the ropes were released making all of the crew drop to the floor Maisie was suddenly released and she was dropped down straight onto Will landing on top of him.
She blushed a deep red looking down at him in their position, he smiled back sweetly raising his head to hers to kiss her…
"MAISIE!" Both turned their heads to see Flik calling them over; "I'm going to kill her…" Maisie mumbled struggling up from him and then helping him up also.
"Why do you do this?" Angelica asked looking up to Blackbeard who still had a smile on his face.
"Mutiny. Our laws be clear…"
"Our laws allow the Captain to show leniency" Angelica replied trying to reason with him.
"I have given this man a chance to determine his fate. A gift not afforded to all"
In the ocean, the cook was rowing for his life trying to distance himself from the ship quickly not knowing what was in store for himself.
"You, now. A chance to show the worth of your prayers. Pray he be delivered from… evil!" Blackbeard turned his head to Phillip who was too busy looking at the long boat, the ship itself was lining up with the longboat.
"Course made!"
"Stop! Give that man a chance – Give yourself…" But it was too late, out of the blue flames appeared out of the ship's front; the flames roared forward behind the cook who looked behind him and then screamed as they engulfed him.
Flik turned her head looking away trying not to feel sick as Maisie buried her head into Will's shirt closing her eyes tight.
Blackbeard smiled once again stepping closer to Phillip, the orange flames lit up in his eyes watching the longboat on fire.
"You know when I feel closest to our maker? When I see suffering, pain and anguish. That is when the veil is lifted and the true design of this world is revealed"
"And I see it revealed when, in times of hardship and tragedy, kindness and compassion are shown to those in need" Phillip replied to his statement.
"Perhaps you will pray for him to be unharmed? Yes? No, of course not. You pray only for what chance might offer on its own, lest the weakness of your God be revealed" Blackbeard continued, he turned back to the longboat with the flames still blazing high.
"Please…There is still hope for that man!" Phillip argued again but Blackbeard wasn't having any of it.
"AGAIN!"
Another burst of flames was released from the front of the ship towards the longboat causing it to be on more fire on it than already was.
"He is an evil man…" Flik whispered watching the flames now; Jack's hand came down holding hers gently and looking down to her.
"Don't worry luv, he won't hurt us…." Then suddenly Jack and Flik's shirts backwards causing them to choke!
"HEY!" Flik looked backwards to see the Quartermaster dragging them both backwards past Maisie and Will to Blackbeard's cabin.
"Uh oh… looks like they are in trouble…!" Maisie raised her eyebrows, looking to Will who was laughing at Jack's facial expression.
"Maisie, come on… I want to show you something…" Will took her hand and dragged her back down below deck.
In Blackbeard's cabin, Jack and Flik were forced hard against a pillar of wood but before they could move the Quartermaster stabbed one knife in both of their shirts making them not move, he left them and they turned their heads around exploring the cabin and then they noticed Blackbeard sitting at his desk going through maps and parchment.
"Me and my wife here have no interest in the Fountain, so if your heart's set just drop us anywhere... We can find our own way back" Jack smiled over to him.
"And your words surround you like fog, make you hard to see"
"And you? The mighty Blackbeard, beheaded they say and still you swam three times around your ship and then climbed back on board" Flik said to him getting his attention.
"And yet, here you are – running scared"
"Scared?"
"To the Fountain…" Jack piped in then exchanging looks with Flik; Blackbeard then rose from his seat going over to them staring at Flik first.
"My death is nigh – the fates have spoken, the threads of destiny woven"
"You have a high regard for fate" Flik replied to him, not scared.
"And you?" Blackbeard asked them both, circling the pillar.
"I'm sceptical of predicting any future which includes us…" Jack said with a smile.
"It be foolish to battle fate, but I am pleased to cheat it. I will reach the Fountain. Both of you will lead me" Blackbeard said, turning his back away – Jack started to reach his hand up to the knife but Flik's hand was there already yanking the knife free and handing it over to him with a wink.
"The knife will serve you no better than the mutiny you delivered…" Blackbeard peered through some more parchment as Jack raised the knife but then lowered it wondering how he knew.
"The mutiny served us well. We both gained an audience with you…" Jack replied.
"Oh?"
"Yes, to warn you about your so called First Mate…" Flik said out loud, "She's pretending…"
"Do tell…" Blackbeard replied.
"She is not your daughter, what she is, is evil. More to be feared than a wild beast, hungry wild beast from hell… Vengeful, hungry, from hell, beast and wild…"
"And also has a big nose and is a bitch too…" Flik added to the list that Jack just said.
"You speak of my own flesh and blood?" Blackbeard sharply turned going to the both of them and then cutting off a tiny bit of his dreadlocks, he held it and then turned to Flik smiling also cutting off a piece of her dark brown curly hair.
"What are you doing?" Flik protested watching him go back to his desk, under the parchments was two mini dolls one of Jack and the other was Flik… Voodoo dolls Flik thought to herself looking at the mini one of her, he had got the details of the hair right and her outfit down to a tee.
"Sir…The woman is consummate in the art of deception…" Jack said, behind them the door creaked open revealing Angelica standing there but Jack carried on without noticing her.
"I know, I taught her though I cannot claim credit for her abundance of natural talent…"
"You taught her?" Flik raised her eyebrow to Jack; he exchanged a look to her and suddenly went quiet.
"Angelica, my daughter. The good and true thing I have done in this world. And you claim to have corrupted her?" Blackbeard asked, both Flik and him were looking straight at Jack.
"You better have a good answer…"
"But…I…." Before Jack could say anything, Angelica perked up and walked in.
"Father?"
"Darling!" Jack smiled, but then Flik elbowed him again glaring evilly.
"Oh good, he's still alive" Angelica said but then Blackbeard took Jack's voodoo doll cutting something into his chest, Jack looked and then he started to wince in pain going backwards.
"Jack!" Flik held her husband up trying to help but then Blackbeard got her voodoo doll and was about to do the same thing.
"Don't you….FUCK!" Flik swore out loud as she then felt a sudden pain striking her chest as well; she pulled down her shirt a little to see the trident symbol carved into her skin.
"No need to hurt them, father – Both of them will help, won't you?" Angelica smirked at Flik.
"Do you see? Even now she attends to your welfares. Giving lie to the claims you make of her"
Then Blackbeard on Jack's voodoo doll slashed it again, he yelled out loud tearing his shirt from his body looking down to see the same symbol as Flik's.
"You will lead us to the Fountain? Yes?" Angelica asked but again there was no answer from both of them.
Blackbeard tutted and put Flik's voodoo doll over the candle flame, as it started to smoke Flik's head itself was getting hotter and hotter causing massive pain – she held her head yelling falling to the floor in Jack's arms holding her.
"STOP IT!" He yelled to him, kissing his wife's head.
"Put it another way, If I don't arrive there in time… both of you won't" Blackbeard told them, forcing the doll harder onto the flame – Flik's eyes started to swell up with tears as they started to roll down her cheeks, her head was bubbling inside wanting to break free.
Then Blackbeard took the doll away quickly throwing it onto the desk, she gasped out loud in relief her head was now suddenly better.
"Felicity, are you okay?" Jack asked softly and she nodded back.
"Well I have a look at your charts straight away, if you don't mind but first let me take her back to her cabin…" Jack said helping Flik up.
The Quartermaster came back, holding Jack's arm but he shrugged it off he was more concerned about her.
Jack gently took Flik back below deck to her cabin and laid her down on the bed smiling.
"Sleep… you will be okay tomorrow…"Jack whispered in her ear, she half smiled and felt her eyes slowly close….
Jenna
Few days later, Morning.
Jenna stared out of her circled cabin window, it had been a few days since Barbossa had tried to attack her – she had been scared of every knock at the door or if someone passed her cabin door thinking it could be him.
As she was staring at the window, there was sudden knocks on her door making her jolted right out her skin and turn her head sharply to it.
"Miss Jenna?" A familiar voice called through the wood, Jenna recognized it – it was Groves.
"She isn't here at the moment; please leave a message after the beep…" She answered back as she then continued to stare out of the window.
"Please Miss Jenna, It's been a few days – come out and have some tea and food…"
"I don't like food…"
"Don't make me come in there and get you out, it's a lovely bright day and I promise that the Captain won't touch you…" Groves continued, he listened at the door and before he knew it he heard the door unlocking to reveal a pale Jenna standing there looking at him.
"Do you and Gillette promise?"
"Of course we do, come now…" Groves held out his arm and she took it politely leading her out onto the deck where indeed the sky was very blue and the sun blazing down.
A few crew members nodded to Jenna as she passed then she spotted suddenly on the spot when she saw him.
Barbossa was sitting at his desk on top deck with more apples, eating them with delight whilst looking over to Gibbs.
Before Jenna could say anything, one of the crew members got Groves's attention.
"Gillette!" Groves called over to the man standing near Gibbs; he came down and stood next to Jenna with a smile.
"It is good to see you out of your cabin at last…" Gillette told Jenna, she smiled back but her main focus was on Barbossa – he hadn't noticed her yet.
"Come on…" Gillette said, leading her up to where Barbossa was – at last he noticed her but he didn't say a word, instead he kept his mouth closed and looked away.
Jenna had been thinking for the past few days, she needed an apology from him for attacking her the way he did but there he was sitting without saying anything.
Then Groves came back standing in front of Barbossa's desk with some crew members behind him shaking.
"Aye?" He spoke at last, looking at Groves.
"Captain, Sir – I am unhappy to report rumours among the crew as to our destination…"
"Shut yer trap and make way!" Barbossa suddenly got up, pushing pass Groves looking at the males on deck.
"That's the way of it, then?"
"No disrespect, Sir…" Groves looked down; Barbossa shook his head glancing at everyone in turn.
"What do the men fear? Say it! Speak it!" Barbossa commanded.
"Whitecap bay" As soon as Groves mentioned the name, whispers were heard throughout the men as they began to talk about it.
"Aye, and every worthless seamen fears the name, righty so though few know why or dare to ask" Barbossa continued.
"Be the stories true?" Gibbs asked out loud, frowning up at him too.
"Listen, that your voice should quiver like fiddle strings! Say what robs you of your staunch heart, Gibbs or forever leave it to the wider fields of fancy"
"Mermaids…" Jenna said out loud, Barbossa then looked her in the eye and smirked.
"You heard the stories?"
"I know a lot more than stories…" Jenna admitted, keeping close to Gillette as Barbossa made his way over to her.
"Aye, mermaids – Sea ghouls, devil fish, dreadful in hunger for flesh of man, mermaid waters that be our path. Cling to your soul Miss, as mermaids be given to take the rest to the bone"
Again, there was whispers throughout the crew again Groves shot them a look trying to make them quiet down.
"Steady men! Find your courage! Or be ready to purpose your fear!" Groves shouted to the men, but it was too late one man jumped overboard screaming.
"Oh I might join him…" Jenna ran to the side of the ship but Gillette held her waist pulling her away from the edge.
"No you don't!"
"Man overboard!" Groves went to the side, looking for the man but Barbossa butted in.
"Nay, a deserter…!"
"Let go out me!" Jenna yelled, trying to get out of Gillette's grip still but he wasn't letting go.
"I'm not letting you jump!"
"Why not? I rather be in the sea than near the peg legged bastard!" She spat, giving Barbosas an evil look – again he didn't say anything to her.
"You are needed on board, Miss!" Gillette tried reasoning with her; she stopped and looked up to him confused.
"Why?"
"I….Stay – Stay for me…" Gillette admitted and then half smiled to her.
"I shan't ask any more of a man than what the man can deliver! But I do ask… are we not King's men?" Barbossa interrupted Jenna and Gillette looking to the members again.
They shrugged their shoulders and said 'Aye' to each other.
"On the King's mission? I did not note any fear in the eyes of the Spanish as they passed us by…Are we NOT THE KING'S MEN?" Barbossa shouted once again.
"AYE!" All the men cried and began to cheer with their fists high into the air, even Groves cheered loudly.
"Aye! Double –reef the mizzen topsail and hoist it up! Haul her close! Stave on ahead!" Barbossa commanded as he went back to his desk, all the men started hurrying about to do their jobs then.
"And may God have mercy on our souls…" Gibbs whispered, going back to his charts.
Jenna sighed out loud as Gillette finally let her go and they stood side by side...
"Jenna, please… Don't leave…" Gillette asked her again, she thought about it for a moment – she wanted to stay and she knew the reasons, she was going to stop Groves and Gillette's deaths, she didn't want them to die but instead live.
Slowly but surely, Jenna nodded back to Gillette who smiled down at her and he held out his hand to her.
"Come and help me?" Gillette offered and she again nodded forgetting all her troubles as she was lost in his smile.
