As soon as Will had said yes, Barbossa had ordered for the Bo' sun to take their captives below deck, chain them to the galley, and teach them how to row while he left Will, Jack, Elizabeth, and I on the deck.
Barbossa slowly turned and looked out to sea, smiling as he gaze fell upon the closest island near us. "Ah, Jack. Did ya not notice? That'd be the same little island we made you governor of on our last trip."
Everyone glanced at the island, suddenly realizing what Barbossa was planning to do. Will screamed in outrage as a dozen pirates grabbed Elizabeth and led her up to the plank leading off the side of the ship. Will was held back by a few pirates, but that didn't keep him from yelling at Barbossa.
"Barbossa, you lying bastard! You swore she'd go free!"
"Don't dare impugn me honor, boy." Barbossa replied back, stepping closer to Will. "I swore she'd go free, but it was you who failed to specify by when or where." A menacing smile had spread over his face by this time as Will was tied up.
Barbossa's gaze traveled back to Elizabeth who was staring down at the water horror. "It does seem a shame to be losing something so fine, don't it lads?" The whole crew started to chuckle as a wide smile spread across his face. "So I'd be having that dress back before you go."
Elizabeth glared at Barbossa before quickly taking it off and throwing it at him. "Goes with your black heart."
Barbossa smiled and felt the dress. "Oh, it's still warm." He said, throwing it into the crowd of pirates.
Jack smiled at the one pirate suddenly holding us back. "I've always liked you." He told him, receiving a growl in return. He shared a helpless glance with me as I sighed.
"My life officially sucks." I thought aloud which was a mistake since everyone could hear me.
"Well you won't have to suffer with it much longer." Barbossa replied to my comment with an even more evil crooked smile crossing his scarred face. "You're next."
Of course...
"Sounds great." I said sarcastically, flashing him a smile which he scoffed and rolled his eyes at, turning back around to watch Elizabeth. She was now at the end of the plank, still staring down at the water below her.
"Too long!" The Bo'sun suddenly yelled, stomping on the other end of the plank, making it wobble and sending Elizabeth into the water.
I only had milliseconds to mourn for Chuckles suddenly grabbed me by the neck and dragged me to the plank, where he let go of me and smiled. "Goodbye, wench."
I stared at him before spinning around, forgetting my anger at what he just called me and braced the horror of what might now be coming. I slowly inched my way toward the end, wanting to spend as much time as I could on the plank as the pirates would let me.
The water sloshing against the side of the ship didn't help me much though, in fact, if it did anything at all it made me lightheaded. I was now at the end of the plank, the world was spinning all around me as I tried to regain my balance. I could hear Chuckles and the rest of them laughing behind me.
"I'm having another thought here, Barbossa"
My lightheadedness went away just as fast as it had come with hearing Jack's voice. I slowly turned to see him approaching Barbossa with the pirate who was supposed to be holding him back at his heels.
"What is it now?" Barbossa snapped, visibly annoyed now with Jack who took no notice and put one of his hands on Barbossa's shoulder.
"You know, if you think about it..." Jack started, a sly look crossing his face. "she could be worth some value to you."
WHAT?
I couldn't even utter a sound. Firstly because I was too shocked and secondly I knew that if I started screaming Barbossa would forget all about Jack and have me ordered to be pushed off the side of the ship instead walk down the plank.
The look on Barbossa's face still showed he was annoyed with Jack's sudden outburst, but showed he was interested in what Jack had to say and whether or not he was right. "How so?"
Jack rolled his eyes as if it were obvious. "Well, she could be a source of much pleasure to you and your crew once the curse lifted, ey?" A frown crossed Barbossa's face as quickly glanced and looked me over. "Finally enjoy what you couldn't for the first time in awhile."
Even I knew what that meant; I glared at Jack as Barbossa scoffed. "What makes you think we would just keep her for that?"
It was quiet for a moment as a wide smile spread across Jack's lips. "Maybe you've forgotten, Barbossa. But he's only half Turner..." He told him, pointing nodding in Will's direction. "She makes the other."
The silence dragged on longer than I expected it too. But Barbossa's voice suddenly broke it.
"Bring the wench back and tie her up." He ordered, not taking his eyes off Jack.
Several mumblings of "yes, Captain" were heard before I saw the Bo'sun start heading for me. Without knowing what I was doing, I rushed toward him, not minding that he was about to chain me up, just knowing that he meant something other than just water under me.
I glared at Jack as I passed him on my way over to Will, hoping he knew I was not going to forgive him for this. He just sent me a crooked smile which made me suddenly understand why Barbossa loathed Jack so much.
Will watched me as I made my way toward him, sending me silent messages of relief that I was ok, but was now very angry that we would once again have to do something to get Elizabeth back.
A sudden movement behind made me spin around; Barbossa had unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Jack who had backed up a few steps, which surprisingly led him to the plank. "I'd really rather hoped we were past all this..."
"Perhaps you'll be able to conjure up another miraculous escape...but I doubt it." He brandished his sword at Jack's throat. "Off you go."
Jack eyes lingered on the sword for a moment. "Last time, you left me a pistol with one shot."
"By the powers, you're right. Where be Jack's pistol? Bring it forward." Barbossa said as he sheathed his sword and Chuckles brought the pistol forward and handed it to his captain.
"Seeing as there's two of us, a gentleman would give us a pair of pistols."
Barbossa rolled his eyes. "It'll be one pistol as before, and you can be the gentleman and shoot the lady and starve to death yourself." He said, throwing Jack's pistol into the sea.
The last thing I saw of Jack was him diving him in the sea after his pistol. The pirates around me laughed as Barbossa turned to face Will and I.
"Throw them in the brig."
