Chapter Thirty Seven

Blood soaked my cloths then was washed away by the rain...

Blackbeard's ship was only feet away, but he made no signs of an attack. This confused me. Then I heard yells from the crows nest "Ahoy, there be another ship!" and I knew who's ship that was, The Cequntuara, soon, both ships entered the eye of the hurricane. There was no sign of the other Pirate Lords.

Kayla walked up beside me, I wore the necklace she gave me and the dagger she gave me was in a holster. "You ready to face demons?" she asked, I smiled.

"Aye, aye." For a moment, we just sat there in the water. The Queen Anne's Revenge beside The Cequntuara and on the other side was us, the Black Pearl. "Ah, we meet again" Blackbeard said, I nodded.

"Such a surprise to see you on the Black Pearl, I mean, with the standards of that ship," Adam said from his boat, he wore his royal prince outfit. "I would much rather see you on this ship"

"There's nothing wrong with the Black Pearl, and I don't care what you would 'rather see'" I hissed.

"Sorry, I can't help it if your standards are lacks" Adam countered.

"You smell funny!" Jack yelled, I giggled so did Kayla.

"Enough!" Adam yelled and the cannons were loaded on both ships.

"Fire at my command" I whispered to my crew whilst the other boats cannons were loading. "Fire!" I yelled.

*When I yelled 'fire!' all hell-broke loose, cannon fire everywhere, ropes swinging eager to grab the next pirate that comes in its path, pieces of ship flying, and blood filling the ocean around us. Blackbeard had ordered his men to put down a plank leading on to the Black Pearl. We were stuck between the hurricane and the Queen Anne's Revenge and beside the Queen Anne's Revenge sailed The Cequntuara. Men from the other boats started rushing me with swords, I had to act fast.

My sword came out of its holster and fought the on-coming pirates while I handled the pirates ambushing me from behind with the dagger that I got as a gift from Kayla. The sun had faded, the rain and wind were coming back and the waves were looking monstrous. The eye of the hurricane was closing and fast. What a better time for it? While I killed another pirate I glanced over at Kayla, she was fighting with four swords at the same time!

Slicing any and all pirates that got in her way, that's Calypso for you. I glanced up at Jack, he was on the mast fighting someone from The Cequntuara. I had to turn my attention back towards the pirate I was facing because he almost stuck me in the stomach. I ended his life with the flick of my wrist. Soon, I saw light, I looked closer to find that Blackbeard had boarded the Black Pearl and was coming for me!

I quickly put the dagger away and grabbed my sword. Though Blackbeard was advancing towards me he didn't take out his sword. He was probably waiting for me to get tired so I wouldn't put up much of a fight.

*I was taking on five men from The Cequntuara at a time. Rain was pelting the boat which made it harder to move since the deck was so slippery. I didn't see this, but, Blackbeard was behind me watching the way I fought. After I killed the men I was facing I starting running towards Jack, he had more than enough men on his plate. Sadly, I didn't see a puddle that had gathered, I took a wrong step and ended up on my butt.

I shut my eyes in pain. When I reopened them I saw a blade near my throat, connected with the blade was Blackbeard. He was waiting until I messed up to strike. I layed there, breathing fast, heart racing, trying to come up with something to help me escape. I couldn't move. I was in shock, maybe because Blackbeard didn't kill me or because he was looking at me strangely.

I looked around and no one came near. Not even Jack or Kayla, no, they had their own problems. Without warning, Blackbeard removed his sword from my throat and stuck me in the stomach, I gasped and, throwing my head back, cried out in agony. Blackbeard smiled "you're coming with me, Miss. Turner" he said smirking, he let go of the sword, but left it in my stomach.

"Boys! Tie her up and bring her to my ship.." Blackbeard yelled with a laugh, I just laid there, unable to get up, my own blood soaking my clothes, then, being washed away by the rain. "Ahoy, a ship approaches!" I heard from the crows nest.

Chapter Thirty Eight

"Captain...Captain Jack Sparrow"

When I heard the call from the crows nest, I lifted my hand and pulled the sword out of my stomach. For a few moments I just layed there, eyes seconds from closing. When screams filled the air, cannon fire restarted and swords started to clash again, I shut my eyes. Afterwards, I felt someone pick me up and run with me, I breathed my last conscious breath and gave way to the darkness of the unconscious.

*I woke up in a dark place. I was laying on a bench, I sat up and it felt like someone cut out my waist. I looked down at my mid-section and gauze was wrapped around it. I stood up and fell right back down. Soon, my eyes adjusted, I was in the prison of a ship. Damn it...captured again!

As I looked closer there was no-one else in the prison. Except a dog. "Come here!" I said in a babyish voice and made noises and hit the floor with my hand. All the dog did was raise its head, look at me, then put its head back down.

I sat back and saw keys near the cell. I gave a wicked smile and stood up, I put my arm through the bars, but I couldn't reach it. The ship made a sharp turn toward the port side and my head hit the bars.

Hard.

"Ouch!...shit!" I growled rubbing my aching head, I sat back down on the bench and tried to determine which ship I was on, I could be on one of three ships. The Cequntuara, the Queen Anne's Revenge or my parents' ship (I don't know the name of their ship). I couldn't be on the Black Pearl because they would have put me in the Captain's Quarters, and I couldn't be on the Flying Dutchman because I saw nothing indicating that this ship had been underwater for more than fifty years.

"Do you know what 'silent as a grave' means ?" a voice from the darkness asked.

"Who's there?" I asked trying to stand, then a man wearing a red coat and a white powdered wig came out of a corner "my parents' boat...great" I whispered sarcastically.

"I asked you a question" he said impatiently.

"To hell with your question"

"Foul language for a woman like you" he said with a sly smile, leaning on the side of my cell.

"A woman like me could kick your ass"

"Big words coming from someone who's in a cage" he said with a smirk "now look here...we are in spiting distance of Singapore so once we hit port you will be transported back to Port Royal, so will Kayla and your boyfriend Jack Sp-"

"Captain...Captain Jack Sparrow" I growled forcing myself to stand.

"As I said before you all will be transported to Port Royal, Kayla and yourself will face no charges but Captain Jack Sparrow faces the gallows" he finished.

"If he does, so do I" I growled, grasping onto the cell for stability.

"Your parents have specifically stated that you and Kayla will be given a second chance"

"Well, if Kayla and I get a second chance why does Jack not?" I asked angrily. He didn't reply. "Well? I'm waiting" I growled he continued the silence. "Bastard" I growled, then I noticed he was holding the keys to the cage. An idea popped into my head "ugh!" I moaned, falling dramatically down on to the bench.

"What? What is it Princess Brittney?" he asked urgently. God, I hated that name!

"My stomach!" I moaned. He opened the cage and walked in, just as he started taking the gauze off I grabbed the keys and his sword, punched him in the face, then ran out, not forgetting to lock him in the cage whilst I was at it. "Sorry, mate, got a date to make!" I said saluting him "oh, and remind me to tell my parents to promote you!"

Now, I was smart enough not to go on deck without a disguise. I killed the gunner and stole his clothes, now making myself look like a man, I walked up on the deck. Unnoticed. I laughed at them, despite the situation I was in, they were stupid.

My parents could have at least put another guard down there! I went over to the side of the ship but couldn't see any other ships approaching. All of a sudden what I thought was a sea-quake, happened. I looked over the side to find...air-bubbles. "Oh, shit" I whispered.

"We must of hit a reef!" someone yelled then two huge tentacles broke the surface of the water.

"Not a reef" I murmured.

Chapter Thirty Nine

I woke up with a jolt. Gasping for air I looked around, heart racing and no idea of where I was...

I ran away from the side. I was not afraid of the Kraken, though it sunk my ship it was possibly the best thing that ever happened to me. It was how I met Jack. As I was thinking about this, one of the Kraken's many tentacles came down upon the ship, spitting it in half. I jumped and grabbed the bottom of a mast and began to climb up it, when I got to the top I looked down.

I saw blood, bits of rubble from the ship and the Kraken's huge, open mouth. The stench of its breath was unbearable! I took one last glance at the Kraken. "Until we meet again, beastie" then I jumped off of the mast and landed in the water. It was chilly, I looked down and saw the Flying Dutchman not far off.

I swam as fast as I could toward where I thought I was last on the Black Pearl.

*My legs were giving out and my arms were extremely tired from swimming so much. The water was calm and the day was sunny, but that was far from what I felt inside. There was no ships in sight, no islands, no ports. Nothing. Just open sea, "why in hell is Singapore so far away?"

I growled to myself, spitting sea water out of my mouth. Soon, I felt a tug on my foot, I looked underneath me but no one was there. The tug became a pull and it was hard to keep my head above water. It was pulling me toward what I figured was the west. Eventually, after minutes of struggling not to tread water, my legs stopped kicking and my arms stopped flailing.

I sunk, I gave out a scream which turned into nothing but air bubbles. Unnoticed by the now churning sea. My lungs felt like they were going to burst, I was only a few feet below the surface, but something was pulling me, with some remaining strength I made one last effort to free myself, but it ended up as a failure, just a splash on the water. Soon my eyes shut and I ultimately gave up...

*I woke up with a jolt. Gasping for air, I looked around, heart racing and no idea of were I was. I was laying on a flowery table in what looked to be a small hut filled with flowers and sweet grasses. Still breathing heavily, I swung my feet off the table and tried to stand, but ended up falling on my rump. I looked around even more at the small hut, it had a tiny window which let in much sunlight, a small cage in the far left corner holding a colorful parrot, this table in the middle of it, a curtain that protected the doorway and a shrine of some sort, with a dirt floor.

Someone entered the hut. The person was a female, she was tall, wearing a red, tattered dress, she was black, and had long, blond hair with friendly hazel eyes. She looked about the same age as me. We stared at each other in silence for a moment. I was afraid she didn't speak the same language I did.

Then she smiled "you are okay?" she asked, I nodded with an half open mouth "then let us rejoice!" she yelled her voice was a bit deeper than a normal woman's but she was friendly all the same. She helped me up and yelled something in another language, but when she moved the curtain...that's what really surprised me...
