thanks libbby
"Whose side are you on?" Will demands.
"Do I have to be on someone's side?" I ask, smirking.
They look at me dumbly. I sigh and strike at Norrington. He looks shocked, but then a smile seems to grace his lips and a full battle begins between us. Soon one begins between Jack and Will. We each start chasing after one another as a different person gets the key. I start my battle with Will, who still has the key luckily. Elizabeth is screaming at us to stop but none of us are listening. Slipping in a sneaky hit, I manage to steal the key from Will, and, using that to my advantage, I do a runner up to the church.
"Norrington! You… you…" I leave the threat hanging, hoping my distraction has worked. Jack and Will stop to look at Norrington he stares at them dumbly then at me running away.
"I don't have the key! She does!" he shouts in anger.
They all begin chasing after me, each one trying to get further ahead than the other. Norrington catches me once I begin up the stairs in the church. We battle slightly, before I use being on a higher step to my advantage and push him back into the wall with my feet. Stumbling back at the force, he quickly dives for my feet and pulls them out from under me. I kick him in the face and get up. He uses his strength and bigger body and, grabbing my arm, spins me round and walks me backward into a wall, trapping me there. He pushes his lips onto mine, but I struggle back against him and he pulls away.
"You are beautiful," he whispers to me, running up the stairs and dangling the key from his hand.
"Norrington, you bastard!" I shout from behind him and begin the chase.
Jack charges past and then, grabbing a rope, he goes down somehow instead of up, and Will flies to the top, snatching the key from Norrington as he goes. I can't run up these stairs. I spot a window and, sheathing my sword, I climb out and begin to walk along the wall to where Norrington and Will now battle. They make their way onto a roof, and both me and Jack do too, now side by side. We look at each other, me smirking a little, before I step back and allow Jack to step forward. He grabs the key and both Will and Norrington turn to face us. Grinning slightly at them, I see Norrington rolls his eyes and Will just looks furious.
"Do excuse me while I kill the people who ruined my life," Norrington says.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you want to kill me after you just said I was beautiful?" I say, slightly disgusted toward the end. I don't think I can look at him in the same way again after he said that.
"Yes." he smirks and nods.
"Be my guest," Will interrupts .
"Let us examine that claim for a moment, former commodore, shall we? Who was it who, at the very moment you had two notorious pirates safely behind bars, saw fit to free said pirates and take your dearly beloved all to his self, hey? So whose fault is it really, that you've ended up a rum pot deckhand what takes orders from pirates and is lusting after one who is already taken?" Jack says sneakily, and Norrington blushes at the end.
"How cute, Norrie's lusting. Unfortunately, I aren't lusting back." I smirk.
"Enough!" he yells, swinging his sword at us.
Jack grabs me and we roll over the edge of the roof. I luckily land on my feet but then am pulled down by Jack, as he doesn't land on his feet. He pulls himself up, throws the key over his neck, and begins walking toward an empty grave.
"Jack…" I start, but he walks right into it and falls in. "Too late," I mumble standing and walking over. "Alright down there?" I yell.
"Oh, shut up Jaz," he mumbles, looking thoroughly embarrassed. "Help me out!"
I hold out my hand and Jack grabs it, pulling back. He rises slowly, and, leaning closer to him, I reach out for the key around his neck. He leans up to me, assuming it's a kiss.
"Nice try, Jack, but you should know Jasmine Pearl never loses." I smile.
Jack's face pales as he realises what I mean. Smirking, I let him go and laugh as he hits the floor of the grave.
"You're such a-"
"Pirate?" I laugh, cutting him off.
Jack has suddenly disappeared from the grave and a wheel rolls past me. I shrug until I hear a "ha" from him. Looking down, I notice the key has gone.
"Damn!" I snap.
The wheel rolls into the jungle. I sigh, before chasing after it. It doesn't take me long to catch up. Will and Norrington are still fighting, but this time in the wheel itself. Jack is running on top of it, looking left and right to see if anyone is watching us, but mainly checking if Elizabeth is defending the chest. I look down for a split second as something catches my eye. Jack, on the floor. Jumping over him, I hit the floor and yell in pain. Jack had grabbed my ankle and pulled me down with him. I try to kick him off, but he won't budge. He begins to stand and lets go of my ankle. I glare at him, he smirks, and I stand, only for Jack to dive at me.
"Sparrow, go away!" I snap.
He doesn't listen, in favour of pushing me into a tree. I struggle against him. He laughs and I yell in fury.
"Haven't we got a key to be chasing?" I snap.
He lifts his hand and in it is the key.
"How? When?" I ask.
"Work with me first. We do this as a team, together," he hisses. I nod sharply.
"When you were behind - far behind - I fell out of the wheel and then, running back in, battled Will and Norrington, before getting the key and swinging out onto the top. Then, realizing we were about to go down a hill, I grabbed a tree, swung out and landed in front of you when my branch snapped. I grabbed you so you didn't follow the idiots," he explains, and I look over his shoulder.
"Jack, the chest!" I hiss.
He turns around, and I slowly take a coconut from the floor as Jack does the same. There, running through the jungle, is a member of Jones' crew, who happens to have the chest in his arms. Raising my arm, I throw the coconut. It hits his hand. Jack throws his and it hits his head, knocking it clean off. We run for the chest. Jack slots the key into the chest and turns. The headless fish person behind us is yelling for his body to follow his head.
"Shut up," I snap as his body hits a tree.
Jack lifts the lid and I look inside. I take a breath. There in the chest lays Jones' beating heart.
We hear rustling behind us. I turn and see a crew mate of Jones stumble out of the bushes and stand. Jack, shoving the heart into his jacket and slamming the chest lid shut, throws the chest to me and we run through the jungle, slapping foliage from our path.
We make it back onto the beach, and I notice the tide has come in and our longboat is surrounded by water. I follow Jack as he runs over towards it. I throw the chest into the boat, and Jack throws the heart into the jar of dirt, making a mess as he does so. Hearing a loud yell, we turn. Jack grabs an oar and I grab another, leaving one left in the boat. For some reason, we have three. Probably put one in the wrong longboat after using it. We turn together and hit the person behind us, which turns out to be one of Davy Jones' crew mates. I smile as he falls down and then, looking up at the sound of swords hitting swords, I hiss as most of Jones' crew rush out of the jungle. I snarl as the bo'sun sees me, smirks, and runs straight for me. We engage in combat, him taking offense and me taking defence. He pushes me back, and I hit the back of the boat, the oar nearly tumbling from my grasp. Beside me, I see Will and Jack. We smile at each other and, striking the person I was fighting, turn and hit Will over the back of the head, and see Jack do the same. He tumbles down, and Elizabeth rushes over. Jack tells her something and then Norrington shows up.
"Not with the chest in the boat!" I hear Norrington yell.
He grabs the chest and Elizabeth pushes Will in.
"Don't wait for me," he says, and runs with the chest toward the jungle. The crew follow him, but not before the bo'sun smirks at me.
"I say we respect his final wish," I mutter. We all nod and turn to the boat, throwing our stuff in.
Pintel and Ragetti push the boat further into the tide as we all hop in. The sea is extremely calm. I sit beside Jack, and Elizabeth has Will's head in her lap. I hold onto Jack and put my head on his shoulder. He wraps his arms around me. I feel sick, really ill, and I don't know why. I can't say it's seasickness because I don't get seasick. I have never been seasick before. We get to the Pearl and climb aboard.
"Welcome back captains, where's the commodore?" Gibbs yells.
"He fell behind," Jack says.
"My prayers be with him. Best not wallow in our grief," Gibbs whispers.
I may not have looked at Norrie as a friend, but I didn't look at him as an enemy either. The fact he gave himself up for us makes me feel respect for him. As I dwell on my thoughts, Jack comes behind me and wraps his arms around me. I lean to his touch and Gibbs steps behind us.
"Jaz, the bandages need changing later," he says. I nod but don't move.
The water beside the ship bubbles, and then a ship rises in one fluid motion. Davy Jones stands facing us. He makes eye contact with me and nods discreetly. I nod back, and Jack pulls away from me, grabbing his jar of dirt. He steps forward and lifts the jar. I step forward too, and he turns to me.
"I'll handle this," he says, turning back. "Oi, fish-face! Lose something, hey – oup!" He stops and topples down the stairs.
"Jack," I groan and race down after him.
"Got it!" he yells, lifting the jar to prove it, before standing. "Come to negotiate, eh, have you, you slimy git? Look what I got! I gotta jar of dirt, I gotta a jar of dirt, I gotta a jar of dirt, and guess what's inside it?" he screams over in a childish taunting motion over the fact that he has the heart.
"Enough!" Jones growls
My father steps forward to the ship side and looks at me with a harsh glare. I flinch and then remember I can't be hurt so long as Jones is alive. I smirk at him, and his glare falters a little, and then comes back full force. The cannons on Jones' ship suddenly appear. My face loses all colour, and I feel like I will throw up.
"Hard to starboard!" Jack mutters before I can get one word out.
"HARD TO STARBOARD!" I scream to the helm. Elizabeth glares at me.
Gibbs grabs the wheel and my ship begins to turn. The first boom of a cannon rings out as a cannon ball skims past my ship. I wince at the sound it makes and rush for the helm, taking the wheel from Gibbs. I turn the Pearl completely, taking on my role as captain completely. I had to outrun this ship because, if I didn't, I would either die or live a life of torture.
nearly finished. but how's it going to finish?
