A Captain's Adventure
Chapter 6
Sirius lead me into a crowded market place, towards where we all planned on meeting back up with one another if something like this occurred.
Gun fire kept echoing around us, but yet Sirius and I kept running, only to have us momentarily pause to fight off someone, before we began running again.
"Company! Make ready. Set. Fire!" Someone shouted off behind us, before I felt someone else grab my shoulder and pull me around a corner, away from Sirius.
"Sirius!" I shrieked, as I lost my balance and fell towards the owner of the hand. Yet when I saw the owner, I saw it was Tia Dalma in her disguise.
Sirius jogged in after me, holding his cutlass out to take me back, but when he saw Tia Dalma he lowered his weapon.
"Where is your bomb?" Sirius questioned, as he reached down and helped me up.
Tia Dalma motioned silently over the stack of crates we were hiding behind.
Instantly Tia Dalma, Sirius, and I peered over the edge of the crates, and saw her cart right behind the soldiers.
The music box upon the cart was slowly spinning towards its end, where I knew it would self-destruct at the end of the song.
"Fire!" A solider shouted, as his company raised their weapons and aimed them.
But once again instead of their fire, the bomb went off instead.
Tia Dalma, Sirius, and I lowered ourselves again, while Sirius looked over at me," We need to get to the boat or at least find your father."
"I know," I quietly whispered in defeat, as I took out my ammo from my hidden parts in my vest, and reloaded my pistols. "But we need to find a safe way for the three of us."
"Don't worry about me, child," Tia Dalma smiled, touching my shoulder. "I have been around this world enough to know my way."
"Are you sure?" I questioned, as I did my finished my last few touches to get myself ready to the fight I knew awaited me.
"Yes, I am sure." She cooed once again, while Sirius took my shoulder away from Tia Dalma, and cooed," We better get going then, and search for your father."
I nodded in understanding to Tia Dalma, before I let Sirius pull me back out into the chaos so we could finally be able to find my father and get the hell out of Singapore.
But before I knew it again, we found ourselves stumbling over the other of Sao Feng's twin's dead body, with another single bullet wound to her head.
Suddenly Sirius pulled me around a stack of barrels, hiding the both of us, as a group of came running towards the area we were just standing in. Yet as we remained hidden in the shadows, I spotted Will with Sao Feng running after him and pushing him into the wall next to us.
I held my breath, as Sirius pulled me closer to him in the shadows, so close that all that separate our bodies were merely separated by the cloth on our backs.
"It's an odd coincidence, isn't it?" Sao Feng hissed into Will's face, as he kept his hand clasped around Will's neck. "The East India Trading Company finds me the day you show up in Singapore."
"It is coincidence only!" Will assured, keeping his voice hushed, batting away Sao Feng's hand form his throat, thus allowing Will to pull out his secret dagger, and press it against Sao Feng's throat. "If you want to make a deal with Beckett, you need what I offer."
Sirius and I both froze, in hopes to keep ourselves hidden, so we could hope the new theory Will was cooking up to get back against Jack Sparrow.
"You cross Barbossa," Sao Feng began to comment, in a surprised tone. "You are willing to cross Jack Sparrow. You are even willing to cross Sirius and Beaux, the only real threats in your pathetic crews. So why should I expect any better from you?"
"I need the Black Pearl to free my father." Will simply answered, pulling his blade away from Sao Feng, before he continued," And Sirius and Beaux are with me."
"How so?" Sao Feng questioned, while I watched in shock. The only thing that kept me from forgetting that I was still hiding, was the fact I felt Sirius's chest rising and falling against mine.
"I know one thing that Sirius wants, and that is his father to be out of his life and his wife's." Will began in a prospective tone," And surprisingly enough, Beaux will be a better captain of the Pearl than Jack. And together Sirius and Beaux can take over Jack's hold of the Caribbean, and they can retrieve my father for me. Then once I have my father, they'll most likely retire to finally settle down. And before you know it, you'll be one of the last remaining, great, Pirate Lords left." Will then added with a teasing tone," After all you said it yourself, that Beaux and Sirius were the only real threats."
Sao Feng lifted up an eyebrow in curiosity, before Will finished," And you're going to help me to get it."
Sao Feng then groaned in submission, before growling to Will, as he passed him the charts," I'll cover our tracks. I want you, Beaux's crew, and Barbossa's crew to meet me at shipwreck cove. There I'll have a boat for you."
Will nodded in agreement, and with that they split and went off in opposite directions.
After a brief moment of silence, I noticed Mister Mercer creeping out from behind a cloth divider, with a devious smirk upon his face.
With a sudden shock of realization, I fell back into Sirius, gasping loudly.
Sirius possessively wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me up forcing me onto my feet.
I clung to his jacket, and looked up at Sirius, to get his impression upon everything we had just seen and heard.
But it was very obvious to me. Sirius was not very happy about this. Not at all…
