Chapter 14-The sins of the father [vol. 2]
One more chapter after this people! I know it's gone so quickly, sadly I'm hitting my head against a wall in terms of writing at the moment, so until I get over that I might be a little quiet on the POTC front. I do have a few more adventures planned for my little pirate but my work load at school is increasing and that takes priority. So I hope you enjoy, I don't own POTC, but Scarlet is my creation.
I could hear yelling from the Dutchman. We were heading into the deeper waters still. The cannons blasted. As the ropes were swapped and we began to cross.
I drew my sword and prepared to kill whatever I had to, so I would live. One of them landed right in front of me, I stabbed him in the gut before he had a chance of injuring me.
During all the fighting I heard something I would never have expected, "Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Will you marry me?" Will yelled over the fighting.
I chopped one of the fishes heads off while waiting for her response, "I don't think now is the best time!"
"Now may be the only time! I love you. I've made my choice. What's yours?" Will argued back.
"Barbossa! Marry us!" Elizabeth ordered.
"I'm a little busy at the moment!" he said back.
"Barbossa, either you do it or I do," I yelled at him, before turning and running up the stairs towards the helm.
"Barbossa! NOW!" Will ordered.
"Fine then!" Barbossa said getting up on the table his hand over his heart, if he had ever had one, "Dearly beloved, we be gathered here today..." He began before turning to the fish person who had just tried to hit him, "To nail your gizzards to the mast, you poxy cur."
"You mean, to celebrate the wedding of Elizabeth Swann and William Turner," I said spinning around and cutting a fish through the middle, so all his insides where on the floor. I jumped away from the mess continuing to fight while listening to the impromptu wedding.
"Elizabeth Swann, do you take me to be your husband?" Will yelled.
"I do," Elizabeth replied.
"Great!" I laughed at how shocked he sounded.
"Will Turner, do you take me...to be your wife, in sickness and in health, with health being the less likely?"
"I do."
"As captain, I now pronounce you" Barbossa began, but stopped to kill one of the soldiers, "you may kiss" he tried again, before stopping, "you may kiss," the third time.
I jumped in the way of the soldier's blow, that was aimed at Barbossa's back, and managed to stabbing him straight through the heart, "JUST KISS!" I yelled finally having enough.
I turned just as Will grabbed hold of Elizabeth and finally gave her their first kiss as man and wife. All I could hope was that I would have a chance to kiss Jack again after this battle.
I walked down the stairs, slashing fish people and navy officers as I went. I saw a fish man swing over from the Dutchman. I pushed him off the edge of the ship, waving as he went.
"Thanks," I yelled down to him, before grabbing the rope swinging over to the Dutchman. Will swung landing perfectly next to me. As he grabbed hold of the chest, I came face to face with another creepy fish, while blocking each of it attack with ease having time to looked up and see Jack swinging from rope to rope above the ship.
"It's me! It's Will, your son!" I heard Will yelling, looking over I saw Bootstrap continue to attack him.
I got cut in my arm for not paying attention. The thing in front of me smiled obviously pleased with itself, I lifted my sword and pushed it backwards while fighting, until he fell overboard.
As I turned I saw Davy Jones going round and round in the middle of the Kraken wheel. Another man distracted me but was easily taken care of. By the time I had turned back around, Jack was on the floor with Jones over him ready to kill him. I flipped over landing perfectly to stop the killer blow on Jack.
"Get away from my lover!" I said angry. I watched as his eyes glinted with recognition, he could problem see both himself and Calpyso in me.
"Calypso?" he said quietly.
I remember the pain he had cause my mum, the fact that because of him I had been cursed. I swung my sword around sending him flying over to the other side of the ship. "Try Scarlet Jones, Cap'n of the White Rose, keeper of secrets and daughter of Calypso and Davy Jones," I flick my wrist slightly sending the masks into one another above me. The crash echoed through the air.
"Impossible," Jones whispered, looking at me in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible," I said smiling at how much I sounded like Jack.
He had a move forward I only just manage to dodge out of the way just in time, but he still stabbed my side, just below my breast, I staggered backwards and sank to the floor, "Thank you. Now I know you never cared."
Jones turned away from me and saw Elizabeth by the chest. I grabbed at my side trying to stop the blood from leaving my wound. The world didn't seem to let me hear any more.
I could hear Jack's voice whispering in my ear, "Come on Scarlet. Heal yourself."
"I can't," I croaked out gently.
"Why?" Jack said holding his hand over mine trying to stop the blood as well.
"She freed me, Jack. I'm mortal again," I said looking into his eyes, "I'll be fine. Go do what you have to do."
I watched Jack hold Jones' heart in his hand, and I heard him speaking, "Do you? Heady tonic, holding life and death in the palm of one's hand."
"Please don't Jack. I love you, please don't," I found myself whispering under my breath.
"You're a cruel man, Jack Sparrow," Jones said back his back facing to Will.
"Cruel is a matter of perspective," Jack said trying to sound unbothered but there was something under there that I couldn't recognise.
"Is it, now?" Jones' questioned, before spinning around and stabbing Will in the chest with his sword that was already covered in my blood, he laughed.
"Will! Will! Look at me! Stay with me! You're all right!" Elizabeth said hysterically, running over to Will and holding his head in her hands.
Jack looked down at me for guidance, "Save him Jack!"
Bootstrap attacked Jones and Jack moved faster than I had ever seen before. He placed the piece of sword in Will's hand the heart under it and let it drop. I watched as my father, the one who had caused me to slowly die fell overboard sighing my mother's name.
Jack looked down at me, but I was watching Will, the crew were crowding him, "Jack we need to move," I mustered the strength to say.
I could hear Elizabeth's cries as the crew chanted but all the sound was blurring.
"Jack if I make it, there is something I have to tell you," I said softly, as I felt the darkness engulf me. The last thing I heard was Jack calling my name.
Sorry for the cliff hanger, please don't kill me. Just I had to make it dramatic :D. Please do review now we're coming to an end I wanna know what you guys think,
Until next time
