Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

Chapter eleven: The last chapter

Last chapter

"I feel cold," Barbossa said, but before he fell, he fired his pistol and shot Destiny in her left side. They both fell to the ground at the same time.
Before Barbossa bereaved his last breath he said, "Just like your mother." "Dead."


Jack was at Destiny's side before you could say pirate, with Will and Elizabeth behind him.
Destiny was clutching her side, and had tears going down her face.

"It's going to be all right luv." "We'll get you to the ship and……

"Jack, they left," Elizabeth said.

"They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that." Jack picked her being gentle, and not give her any pain. They got into the boat, and Will started to row.

"Daddy I'm sorry," Destiny said trying to wipe away the many tears going down her face.

"Jack looked down at her. "What do you mean luv," he said rocking her gentle.

"That I'm crying." A pirate isn't to cry no matter what. It makes you look…..soft," She said forgetting about the pain in her side.
"But I can't help it." I'm scared and my side hurts really, really bad," she said trying to hold in the tears.

"No luv." You cry all you want to, just forget all that pirate stuff, and cry all you want to," Jack said trying to hold back a tear. Destiny touched Jack's face, but soon dropped her hand because she was getting weaker by the second, and soon closed he eyes.

"No luv." Were all most at the ship. Don't close'em yet."

"But I'm tired."

"But….

"Were at the ship Jack," Will said softly.

"Hurry and let down the ladder," Jack yelled.
First Jack went up with Destiny, then Elizabeth, and Will.

"Men!" Put Sparrow and his daughter down below," Norrington said.

"No," Jack, Will, and Elizabeth said.

"Please Norrington." Destiny is shot, and going weaker by the second.

"It doesn't matter." She'll be going to the gallows."

"But she's only 13," Jack yelled. "Your only putting her for the gallows because I'm her father."

"She's not going to the gallows because I'm going to adopt her," Elizabeth said.

"What," Jack, Will, Norrington, and Mr. Swann said.

"Yes I am, and if you don't hurry and do something she's going to die.

"Fine." Take her in the room and sparrow below," Norrington said.
Jack gave Destiny a kiss on her brow and gave her to Elizabeth.

"I'll take good care of her," she said to Jack.
Jack only nodded.

"All right, down you go."


Jack sat in the brig of the ship listening to Destiny scream at the top of her lungs and crying for him to come and help her, but all Jack could do was listen to her crying and begging.
"Oh Destiny," Jack said letting a tear escape from his eye and down his cheek.


A week later….

"Jack Sparrow , be it known that you have, an official started.

"Captain. Captain Jack Sparrow," he mouthed standing on the gallows.

"for your willful commission of crimes against the crown. Said crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature, the most egregious of these to be cited herewith piracy, smuggling….."

Jack looked to see if Destiny was in the crowd, but she was no where to be found.

"impersonating an officer of the Spanish Royal Navy, impersonating a cleric of the Church of England…."

"Ah yes," Jack said as he looked at the executioner who glared at him.

"sailing under false colors, arson, kidnapping, looting, poaching, brigandage, pilfering, depravity, depredation, and general lawlessness. And for these crimes you have been sentenced to be, on this day, hung by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on your soul."

Will walked through the crowd where Elizabeth was. "Governor Swann. Commodore. Elizabeth . I should have told you every day from the moment I met you. I love you," and with that he walked away.

Elizabeth looked shocked, but she looked up and saw Mr. Cotton's parrot. "I can't breath," she said and then "fainted"
"Elizabeth," Mr. Swann said. Then the drums started.

"Move," Will shouted, then through the sword as Jack fell through. Jack was trying to stay on the sword as long as he could. Will pushed the executer over the side, who fell on Norrington and his men, then he cut Jack free. They ran up the steps with a rope. Will on one side and Jack on the other knocking the red jackets over, but Jack and Will got cornered.

"I thought we might have to endure some manner of ill-conceived escape attempt but not from you," Norrington said to Will.

"On our return to Port Royal , I granted you clemency. And this is how you thank me? By throwing in your lot with him? He's a pirate," Governor Swann said also.

"And a good man," Will said. Jack pointed to himself proudly, he mouthed "That's me." "If all I have achieved here is that the hangman will earn two pairs of boots instead of one, so be it. At least my conscience will be clear," Will stated.

"You forget your place, Turner," Norrington said getting fed up.

"It's right here between you and Jack"
"As is mine," Elizabeth said standing next to Will.

"Elizabeth ! Lower your weapons. For goodness sake put them down," Mr. Swann said. The men lowered there weapons.

"So this is where your heart truly lies, then," Norrington said

"It is."

Jack looked to see the parrot. "Well! I'm actually feeling rather good about this." He went to Governor Swann. "I think we've all arrived at a very special place, eh? Spiritually? Ecumenically? Grammatically?" Then he went to Norrington. "I want you to know that I was rooting for you, mate. Know that. Elizabeth it would never have worked between us, darling. I'm sorry. Will nice hat. Friends!" He started walking backwards. "This is the day that you will always remember as the day that...Then he fell over the battlement.

"Idiot. He has nowhere to go but back to the noose," Gillette said.
"What's your plan of action? Sir?"

"Perhaps on the rare occasion pursuing the right course demands an act of piracy, piracy itself can be the right course," Governor Swann said.

"Mr. Turner," Norrington said.

"I will accept the consequences of my actions," Said Will.

Norrington unsheathed his sword. "This is a beautiful sword. I would expect the man who made it to show the same care and devotion in every aspect of his life."

"Thank you."

"Commodore! What about Sparrow"
"Well, I think we can afford to give him one day's head start." Then he walked off with the soldiers in toe.

"So, this is the path you've chosen, is it? After all, he is a blacksmith," Governor Swann said.

"No," Elizabeth started. She took off Will's hat. "He's a pirate." Governor Swann walked away when Elizabeth and Will make out, but they were soon interrupted by one of Elizabeth's maids.

"Miss. Swann we can't find Miss. Destiny any where!" Elizabeth and Will looked out to the ocean to see a figure swimming toward a ship.
"She'll be fine," Elizabeth said.


On the Pearl.

"I thought you were supposed to keep to the Code," Jack said to Mr. Gibbs.

"We figured they were more actual guidelines," He said helping Jack up.
Cotton handed Jack his hat. "Thank you."

"Captain Sparrow," Ana said. She put his coat around his shoulders. "The Black Pearl is yours." Jack looked around.

"Where be Destiny Jack," Gibbs said.

Jack looked down at his feet. "She's gone."

"What's that in the water," A crew member said.
Every body looked over the side of the Pearl.
It was Destiny.

"Hey captain!" you wouldn't actually leave with out me would you," she said.

"Let down the rope," Jack yelled.
Ana quickly let it down, and Destiny climbed up.
Jack gave Destiny a monster hug.

"Daddy your….hurting…..my…side."

"Oh sorry luv"
"Welcome back missy," Gibbs said.

"Good to be back, after all these years."

"Come," Jack said. Destiny followed Jack up the stairs to the wheal.
"You want to learn how to steer luv?"

"I sure do Captain." Jack smiled at her. He was about to call out orders, but Destiny gave them instead.

"On deck, you scabrous dogs! Man the braces! Let down and haul to run free. Now...bring me that horizon." Jack looked at.

"Well I am co captain aren't I?"

"Yes luv ye are"
Destiny stood behind the wheel with Jack helping her from behind. He pulled out his compass and starts to hum.

"And really bad eggs," Destiny sang. "Drink up, me hearties, yo ho," Jack and Destiny finished.
