Stronger Than Glass
Sequel to Cold as Glass
End of the Glass Trilogy
A Captain's Adventure
Chapter 7
Sirius and I ran across a rickety bridge, after a deathly explosion of fireworks burnt half of, what I could see of, Singapore.
"Father!" I shouted, running as fast as I could, with Sirius deliberately matching my pace to stay at my side, despite the fact I knew he could run much farther and faster than me.
But I needed to get to my father, so at least I felt I felt comfortable enough to settle down, knowing everyone that I cared about what around me now. And maybe just maybe, I would be able to make up my mind, after everything that I heard.
Because, unfortunately, deep down inside that selfish Pirate Lord within me, wanted me to run off the Black Pearl, and screw over Will with his plan to get his father back. And sail away on the seven seas with my father, being his next in line. Leaving Sirius behind in Tortuga to live out his days, without me, because I knew I could live my life without him.
Yet I also badly wanted to finish this last mission, so I could finally settle down and retire from this life of piracy. And then maybe, finally, Sirius and I will have the family I had dreamed of.
But, until then, my emotions were still clouded for me to make a sound decision.
"Beaux! Sirius!" My father breathed a sigh of relief, actually surprising me how he seemed revealed to see Sirius still at my side.
"Mother's pearl it's pleasant to see you two again!" Gibbs breathed in relief, as he, Cotton, Pintel, Raggetti, Marty, Tia Dalma, and Elizabeth marched up behind my father, emerging from their shadowy hiding places.
"Do you have the charts?" Elizabeth pleaded with us, as she looked between Sirius and me.
I shook my head and spat towards her," You think I would have grabbed the charts, when I was running for my life!?"
Elizabeth shot me a glare, before Sirius grabbed my shoulder- in attempts to hold me back like you would with a dog- and questioned to my father," Have you seen Will yet?"
"No, we haven't." My father answered, with a disgruntled tone, as Jack the monkey climbed up onto his shoulder.
Sirius then began, with a cold tone," Good, because while we were searching for you-"
Suddenly my father looked away from Sirius and I, before barking to someone behind us," You have the charts?"
Sirius and I spun around, only to find Sirius, Hung, and Hung's goons trialing behind the two of them.
"And better yet." Will countered, throwing the charts to Sirius, who easily caught them. "A ship and a crew."
"Where's Sao Feng?" Elizabeth questioned in a curious tone, as she jumped up to my other side.
"He'll cover our escape and meet us at Shipwreck Cove." Will explained, repeating the same exact words that had been told to him by Sao Feng, minutes before.
In the background I could hear British Troops regrouping, making me snap towards Hung, as I took the map from Sirius," Well don't stand there! Lead us to the ship!"
"Yes, Miss." Hung then began running in a direction, with his men following behind him. "This way! Be quick!"
I was the first to step up behind Hung, soon followed by my husband and father, who flanked me on either side, with Pintel, Ragetti, and Gibbs as our trusting guards right behind us, letting the rest of the men follow in our lead.
Sophie's Code of Conduct Number Five-In Both Life And Fashion, Always Take The Lead, Never Be A Follower. Or Else You'll Go Nowhere.
So with that we left the burning remains of Singapore, on our way with a crew, to take on a whole other tale of thievery, lies, betrayal, blood, lust, family, and above all other things love.
Being this is the last fanfic series of Beaux and Sirius, I will (before the last chapter is published) put out the complete list, for the past three movies, of "Sophie's Code of Conduct" and "Pirate Rules". BTW everything that I had just said was just very random, I know, but I know there are some of you out there who will get a laugh out of reading the full list. Anyways, sorry for not updating sooner! I'll try to be more consistent. Ta Ta!
