Fights and Death

Okay one more chapter then I have finish but hopefully I will be able to get up the next story in the series soon. I don't own POTC but Scarlet is mine enjoy.

Jack stood at the side of the cave examining the treasures that were located in the beautiful cove.

"I must admit, Jack, I thought I had ye figured, but it turns out that you're a hard man to predict, and you too Miss Jones," Barbossa said nodding his head in my direction.

I bristled under his gaze, "I prefer my nickname thanks, and I am a woman."

"And you to Bloody Scarlet," Barbossa said rephrasing the end of his sentence.

"Me? I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly, stupid," Jack said before unsheathing the pirate who was next to him sword and throwing it towards Will caught it perfect and Jack turned on Barbossa beginning their fight.

I started a fight with one of the pirates, but there were three circling me and Will. For once I was glad that Jack had helped me train to fight, or I would never have been this good. I swung my sword around knocking the head off the other pirate who was able to stab me.

I heard Barbossa talking to Jack, "You're off the edge of the map, mate. Here there'll be monsters."

The pirate in front of me slammed his sword towards me, I blocked quickly pushing him into the water before running off. Just to see if he would follow me.

It took him a few moments to catch up which was what I needed to work out a plan. I grabbed a grenade that had fallen out of one of the pirates pockets, now all I needed was a stick of some sort.

My train of thought was cut off by the pirate who I had push attacking me again I jumped backwards and took off again looking around me for what I needed.

As I avoided another hit from the pirate who seemed to never give up. I used the hilt of my sword to hit the pirate over the head, accidently taking the whole of his head off in the process. Barbossa voice echoed through the cove, "You can't beat me, Jack,"

I turned to watch as Jack impaled Barbossa. Barbossa let out an exaggerated sigh and then taking out his sword impaled Jack. I nearly screamed out, but Jack staggered backward into the moonlight to reveal himself as a skeleton. He didn't look too bad actually, "That's interesting," I watched as he moved the medallion through his fingers, "I couldn't resist, mate."

I laughed at him smiling up, "Looking good Sparrow!"

Jack smiled back at me, "Thanks love! Through its still Cap'n."

I felt someone cut my arm as I turned back to the pirate who had placed his head back onto his body and obviously didn't like me too much. I jumped onto a pile of treasure which moved under my feet as I fought.

It was hard to keep balance and fight okay, but somehow I managed. I flipped over the pirate's head landing the other side of him before running off again, hoping that maybe this would tire him out. I ran over to where Will was fighting the two pirates I went back to back with him fight the three pirates who were surrounding us. I was pulled away from Will by the one who head was removable.

Jack and Barbossa continued to speak. I watched as Elizabeth sneaked into the cave at the back and pick up a staff. Now it was about to get interesting.

Will was on the floor by this point, the other pirate had his sword to Will's next, "I'm gonna teach you the meaning of pain."

"Do you like pain?" Elizabeth knocked the pirate over the head with the staff, "Try wearing a corset."

"Took you long enough!" I complained at Elizabeth.

Elizabeth helped Will up and then turned to see Jack for a skeleton for the first time, "Whose side is Jack on?"

"At the moment?" Will asked sarcastically, before turning back to the three pirates that we still had to take care of.

I took hold of one end of the staff, Will took the middle and Elizabeth the other end, as we fought against the skeleton pirates. We strung them together then stuck the grenade I had picked up earlier in the middle one and pushed them back out of the moonlight, leaving them in their human vulnerable form, "No fair," the pirate complained as he exploded. I knew with a plan like that that I spent too much time around Jack.

Will run up to the chest as Jack threw the bloody medallion at him. I ran over to Jack, just Barbossa turned his pistol on me. I heard two shots go off at once, and staggered backwards as I felt the blood seep throw one of my favourite shirts, "No," Jack yelled out in anger.

I watched through tired eyes as Jack and Barbossa talked, "Ten years you carry that pistol, and now you waste your shot, and I've killed ya lass!"

"He didn't waste it," Will called dropping both the medallions with the blood on into the chest.

I watched slowly as Barbossa dropped his sword and looked down at his chest, where blood was spreading in a similar way to mine, "I feel cold," were the only words he spoke before he fell to the floor dead, his last apple rolling from his hand. The curse was now lifted.

I collapsed suddenly feeling a feeling of weakness that I hadn't felt in a few years now. Jack rushed over to me and magically managed to catch me before I hit the ground. He placed his hand over my wound then moved me down to the floor.

"Scarlet, come on Scarlet stay with me," Jack said moving his hand to gently touch my cheek, I could see the blood covering it, it took me a moment to realise that it was my blood on his hand.

I smiled gently up at Jack hoping to relax him a little, "Don't worry Jack, as I said immortality has its ups."

I closed my eyes and felt the blood that was coming out of my wound begin to make its way back in. It was an odd feeling as if time was reversing, and I was going back to before Barbossa shot me. Back to when I wasn't dying. Three voices around me gasped in shock. I slowly opened my eyes and looked down at my shirt, "Oh damn, this was my favourite," I then smiled widely at Jack, "So who fancies some treasure?"

I sat watching from a distance as Elizabeth and Will talked. I didn't understand how they couldn't see what was in front of their eyes. They were getting very close to kissing, until Jack being himself managed to knock over a lot of treasure onto the floor, causing a crashing sound. Will and Elizabeth jumped away from each other. I turned to face Jack and moaned, "Jack!"

"Sorry love," Jack shrugged unapologetically.

I walked slowly over to Elizabeth and Will. Will spoke, "Your fiancé will be wanting to know you're safe," Elizabeth turned away from Will.

Jack swaggered over to Will, with a crown on his head. He had a tiara in his hand, "If you were waiting for the opportune moment that was it."

"Not helped by you!" I muttered under my breath. Jack smiled sweetly at me before dropping the tiara down onto my head.

"Beautiful love," Jack said softly to me.

"Thank you Jack," I said back moving closer to him, "We won."

"That we did love," Jack whispered, his breath fanning my face.

Our lips were about to touch, Will spoke next to us, "Jack are we going back?"

I jumped away from Jack, but his armed around me stopped me from moving far away from him, "Will do us a favour..." Jack began.

"Shut up," I finished before grabbing Jack, and FINALLY kissing him. His lips felt just like they did before and I was transported back to ten years previous on Jacks father's ship. We pulled away slowly from each other not really wanting to let go, "Well that still works," I said smiling cheeky.

"Now, if you'll be so kind, I'd be much obliged if you'd drop me off my ship," Jack said, moving his arm to hold my waist.

"About that Jack," I said softly as we walked towards the rowing boat.

"Gibbs and the crew took it and made their escape," Elizabeth finished sounding sorry for him.

Jack feel quiet as we got into the boat and made our way towards the Dauntless with Will rowing.

"I'm sorry Jack," Elizabeth said after a while filling the still air with noise.

"They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that. But what confuses me is that you stayed Scarlet?" Jack said looking into my eyes.

"I love you Jack Sparrow where else would I be," I smiled softly burying my head in his chest and not thinking about what was to become of both of us now.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please review,
