Disclaimer: I don`t own a thing,`cept Sam :D
Jack slowly crept forward behind two large barrels of gunpowder and looked up at the sky. It was the gloomiest,most ominous weather he had seen in a long time. Lightning flashed across the sky as dark clouds gathered all around. He looked to the left and stared at the ship growing closer with wide eyes.
"All steady now,lets get them with all we got,understood!?" Screamed Elizabeth.
She was answered by an uproar of yells. Half of the crew scattered this way,some that way. Jack smiled at his beloved. He poked his head above the barrels to get a better look but quickly ducked again to avoid being seen by a passing crew member because he was sure Elizabeth had said something. The ship was now about inches from theirs and Jack had his hand on the hilt of his sword. Men on the other ship picked up a wide plank and laid it across from their deck to The Pearl`s and started crowding onto the Pearl. Finally on board the other pirates looked behind them and stepped aside to make room for their captain.
"Where is Jack Sparrow?" The big man breathed out with a heavy Scottish accent . He had an eye patch and had few gold teeth in his head,he was also bald and overly muscular. The Pearl`s crew shrank back slightly but stood their ground. Jack looked over the barrels at the man and gasped.
"Honestly,what would you want with Jack Sparrow,he is really not worth coming across the seas to look for." Elizabeth gathered the courage to bite out. The man looked at her and laughed.
"Why wud ya be concerned with the likes o him yerself,in fact why are ye evin on `is ship,are ya `is part time bitch?" Elizabeth blushed but turned her gaze deadly.
"Get off our ship,he isn`t here so just go back to where ever you came from and leave well enough alone." The man rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Ya know,as nice as that wud be for ya,I`m gonna kill `im before I leave. I can tell ya are lyin` and if ya stand in my way,your just as good as dead."
Elizabeth whipped out her pistol cocked it and pointed it at the man`s face. "Do I need repeat myself?" She said through gritted teeth.
The man laughed again before grabbing Elizabeth`s wrist and twisting it causing her to cry out and drop the gun. He looked behind him and nodded.
"Search the ship."
Half of his crew unsheathed their swords and clashed them against the other crew and the fight began. Jack was brewing with anger as he watched the man grab Elizabeth and hold her against him.
"I`m gonna do to ya what he did to mine." He breathed against her ear. He was about to pull her into one of the cabins when he felt someone tap on his shoulder.
"Piss off." He yelled.
"I really wouldn't be doing that if I were you,mate." The captain had Elizabeth`s arms pined behind her back.
"And just wut do ye think ye are gonna do about it?" He said before turning around. Jack drew his sword and put it to the captains neck.
"If you dare think you are gonna hurt her on my expense,you have another thing coming,Sam. So I am thinking that you might as well leave her alone and get your ass the hell off of me ship as the lady said." Elizabeth turned around and smiled at Jack. Sam put his hands up as a mock gesture.
"OK Jack,seems we `ave never been on the right foot. My lady says you dragged her into the water and tried to seduce her." Jack rolled his eyes at the man.
"Go on ahead believing what that wench said,it isn't true and will never be." Sam tsked and looked back at Elizabeth and grinned maliciously causing her to grow uncomfortable. Jack saw this a growled deep in his throat.
"I will not tell you again,get your crew and leave." Sam looked back at Jack and smiled seeing as he had hit a nerve.
"Ok,we are going." Sam walked away from Jack and Elizabeth. "I`m sorry Lizzy,this will never happen again. I promise." He ran his fingers though her hair.
Jack glanced over in the direction Sam was standing and whistled.
"What are you waiting for,I told you to leave." Jack waited for him to leave and yet he didn't.
Jack walked over to him and pulled out his sword,but before Jack could get over to him good,Sam drew his sword and pressed it to Jack`s throat making Jack drop his own sword. Jack could feel his pulse against the blades tip."It isn't just my lass I`m out ta get ye fer,ye have done much more than yer rum soaked mind can remember. You stole my ship and renamed it,and your crew killed half of mine. You killed my daughter." Jack`s eyes widened and his mouth went dry.
"I never killed anyone,when and how in God`s name did I do that?!" Sam gritted his teeth and pressed the sword a bit deeper backing him up against the wall. "See Jack,you don`t remember any of it do ye. You were drunk as hell,I was the one trying to stop ye."
Elizabeth looked at Jack and Sam.
"Jack?" She looked at him with worry in her eyes. "Is this true?" Jack wanted to assure her this wasn`t true but he wasn`t even sure of himself now. Jack looked down. Rain pounded everywhere,and lightning flashed all over.
"Well I do,and you are gonna pay. Ye may have gotten away with other things in you life,but dealing with me won`t be one of them I assure ye." Sam saw the bandage wrapped around Jack`s chest and grinned.
"And it really won`t take much to do it with. We are gonna settle this with a battle to the death." Elizabeth gasped and grabbed Jack`s arm.
"No,he isn't going to fight you,you bastard! He has been wounded already by the first raid. How do you know Jack killed your daughter,he may be a pirate,but killer he is not!"
Elizabeth screamed at the man,tears threatening to fall. Sam looked at the woman and a look of sympathy flashed in his eyes,but soon turned back to a deadly glare.
"I will not stand by and let some woman try and prove me wrong,he killed my daughter and for that he will die!" Sam raised his hand and slapped Elizabeth across the face. She gasped and clasped her cheek,and returned the glare.
Jack then punched Sam dead in the face causing the man to stumble backwards.
"I never killed anyone in my life except those trying to kill me,and now seeing as that be your intention,you're fair game. And NO ONE lays a hand on my Lizzy,ya bastard." Jack said grabbing his fist and wincing.
Sam ended up hitting the deck with a loud thud giving Jack enough time to grab his sword. Sam felt blood trickle down his lip and wiped it away,he scurried over trying to grab his sword when Jack took a swing at his back,but he heard the blow coming and rolled over making Jack miss and stab his sword into the wood. Yanking it out he leaned over trying to catch his breath. Wincing from the pain in his side, Jack opened his shirt to look at the bandage which was now soaked in blood. Sam jumped up fast for someone his size and clashed his sword against Jack`s.
Jack had barely seen the attack coming and he parried with all the strength he had.
All the while screams of crew members being stabbed rang out all around making Elizabeth shake. She had backed herself up into one of the cabins looking for a weapon of some kind,something to help Jack. He was wounded and needed rest,it was just going to make him weaker than ever and more vulnerable to getting stabbed,and that was all he needed. One swift stab and he would be finished. Sam pressed down on Jack`s sword making him kneel,sweat was rolling off of his forehead. "You have to stop,I never killed anyone...we were friends,why would I do that to you,even drunk. You were part of me crew once!" Jack managed to breath.
"I don`t care,that wus the past this is now,and ya can`t change the fact that she is gone!" Sam pushed harder causing Jack to fall backwards.
He brought the blade above his head ready to strike Jack but he grabbed his sword and sliced Sam`s leg. Crying out in anger and pain Sam then slung the blade slashing Jack across the chest. Jack gasped in pain but managed to get to his feet. Running his fingers over his chest his hand was covered in blood. Closing his eyes Jack felt himself growing weaker,he knew he stood no chance against Sam now.
"Ye see Jack,I always get my way." Sam said wiping away the remaining blood from his lip.
Just then something within Jack snapped and he opened his eyes and slung his sword making Sam back up in shock. Jack slashed Sam`s hand but he didn't drop his sword. He kept pushing Sam further and further to the railing of the ship. Sam gripped his sword hard because it was becoming slippery in his grasp from the rain.
"You wanted this fight,now it is time to let you have it." Jack growled through his teeth. Both men fought hard,clashing swords against the other.
Trying to keep from slipping Jack grabbed a rope to try and catch his breath. When he looked up Sam was gone,and before he could look around Sam tapped his shoulder. When he turned around Sam thrust his sword into Jack`s gut. He heard Elizabeth scream as he fell to his knees. He laid on his back and felt the rain pelt his face. The rain was dragging his blood along with it.
"You Bastard!" Elizabeth screamed,she slung her sword as hard as she could at Sam slashing his arm.
"Brave woman ye are ta be dealin with me." He snarled. If looks could kill,Sam would have dropped dead at that very moment.
"You have no idea whom you are dealing with here,you never mess with Sparrows." Elizabeth lunged at him and stabbed him in the shoulder. She backed him all the way up to the railing and it broke under his weight causing him to fall into the icy waters below.
She threw her sword down and ran to Jack`s side. He was very pale and trying hard to keep his eyes open. He reached up and caressed her face.
"Lizzy,I`ll be alright,You killed Sam?" Elizabeth tried hard to keep the tears from falling but failed.
"Yeah,Jack. He`s gone." Jack seemed to be in another world,his eyes seemed to glaze over.
"You can`t leave me Jack,you are the only reason for me to be alive,I need you. " Jack looked at her a smiled.
"Who...said I`m going anywhere,It`ll take a lot...more than this to..get..`ol Jack down and out,I just feel really tired,this other wound sure is giving me hell. I can barely feel my own heart." He closed his eyes and sighed.
"We`ll get you through Jack,you`ll be okay. You just need rest,you aren't invincible ."
Elizabeth Pulled him to her chest and rocked back and forth.
"I need somebody! Gibbs,Will,somebody! Jack is hurt badly and I can`t drag him." She looked around praying someone was near by and saw Will standing by the ship wheel.
"Will,Come quick!" He glanced over at her and ran.
"Oh my God,what happened?!" He stared at Jack lying there on the deck Gibbs following behind him. He had his hand over his stomach,blood was pouring through his fingers. "He was stabbed,again,he is on the verge of dying this time. He hasn't even recovered from the other wound!" Will looked her in the eyes,and he could tell that this was eating away at her. "Okay let`s get him out of this rain!" Gibbs and Will gently lifted him and carried him to his cabin.
*** Two Days Later...
"He is looking worse,he may need a doctor." Will said shaking his head. Elizabeth stared at the floor crying.
"William,I don`t need no..doctor,who on this earth is.. gonna want to see.. me." Jack managed to get out clearly angered. He was lying in his bed and had thrown the covers off of him. He was as pale as ever,and he had a fever most of the time. He never call Will,William unless he was pissed.
"Well Jack,you aren't gonna sit here and die like this,your wounds aren't healing properly and we have done all we can. If you don`t get seen about now you could be dead within a matter of hours. Your lucky you are alive now. Is that what you want!?" Will yelled at him.
"Look at what you are doing to Elizabeth,she cares for you and you are risking your life by being stubborn,she doesn't want to see you die and neither do I,because you are my friend." Jack looked down clearly trying to decide.
"No,I`ll be fine." He glared up at Will. Will looked like he wanted to strangle Jack at that point.
"I don`t care what you say,your aren't thinking clearly and right now,I am giving the orders." Elizabeth stood up and walked over to Jack`s side.
"He is right Jack,I love you and we are taking you to a doctor,no matter what." Jack grabbed her hand and kissed it. "Fine,I`ll..do it for you.. luv." That was all he remembered saying before closing his eyes and falling into a world of nothingness...
