Chapter Fifty Eight
"It's...it's empty" I said breathlessly, staring down at the empty chest. Jack turned toward the eager crew members.
"Alright, who stole it?" Jack growled, eyeing every crew member. "You know the fate of all pirates rests on that heart...and without the heart..." Jack said pacing.
"We all die out" Gibbs finished.
"No! Not die out! We will be murdered!...Slaughtered like pigs! One by one they will pick us off...ship by ship...until pirates go extinct...now gentlemen! My, beautiful lady,..do we want that to happen?" Jack yelled, pulling me to my feet and holding me by his side.
"No!" The crew yelled in response.
"Alright then! Who stole the bloody heart?" Jack asked. No one stepped forward.
"Maybe, the one who had the heart isn't on of our crewmen" I said eyeing Jack, I always loved it when Jack took control...it made me get all...tingly.
"She's right" Gibbs said "Pintel and Regetti say that they saw some of Ammand's men hiding in the woods, and remember, Jack, they dropped the chest so we ordered them to go back and get it" Gibbs finished starring at Jack.
"Oh" is all Jack said. I sighed and turned to Gibbs.
"Signal to Ammand's ship, The Jade Dragon, to pull up beside the 'Pearl...It looks like we need to have a talk" I growled looking at the Pirate Lords' ships following behind us.
Within minutes The Jade Dragon was floating coolly beside the Black Pearl. I put on one of Jack's coats, now the only way to tell us apart was, gender, hair color, eye color, and I didn't have things hanging in my hair. "Ah, Miss. Turner, how nice to see you again" Ammand said with a sly smile.
"I wouldn't use the word 'nice' for this" I replied looking him straight in the eyes
"Oh? Then what is?" he asked
"Inconvenient" I hissed, pacing on the deck. I narrowed my eyes "I know you have the heart, Ammand, just give it to us"
"What heart?...No heart here...none" Ammand said sarcastically.
"Ammand, I don't want to do this to another Pirate Lord but you have left me no choice" I said sadly. I nodded to Gibbs.
"Do what exactly?" Ammand demanded. I narrowed my eyes and put my head down so I looked intimidating. I gave a evil smile.
"Fire!" I yelled, cannons fired...Ammand didn't have a chance.
Chapter Fifty Nine
Ammand's crewmen were taken by surprise. We blew The Jade Dragon to bits before they could do anything. While the cannons blew The Jade Dragon to pieces I used a rope and swung over. I grabbed Ammand, but, he pulled away from me. He knew he didn't have a chance so he wanted to go down with his ship.
That's the only way a ship can be sunk properly. I narrowed my eyes and yanked Ammand so hard it sent both of us around the main mast of The Jade Dragon, twice! "Come on!" I yelled dragging Ammand nearer to the Black Pearl.
"No!" he yelled and cut the rope I swung on with his sword. I fell to the deck, hard. After recouping I jumped up and ran after him, he quickly turned around and yanked his sword out of his holster. I did the same.
Except, my sword glowed red.
My sword clashed against his and it made a great clatter, then, I heard a hissing noise. Not of an animal but of something being melted by a brander. I put my sword down for a moment and where my sword had touched Ammand's it melted a gap! I gave an evil smile. Ammand's once over-confident smile morphed into a puppy dogs, scared, and helpless expression. Ammand gulped and easily walked backwards, he hit something.
Jack.
"Sorry, mate...can't let you do that, now can we?" Jack said, I gave a witty smile. All of a sudden the main mast cracked in half and fell through the deck, sea water started to gush onto the deck. I grabbed Ammand and threw him over to the Black Pearl. Jack and I both jumped over to the Black Pearl, barley making it.
Our crew surrounded Ammand. I took one last glance over at his ship, which was now a new home to the fish. I walked over to Ammand and the crowd split for me. I stood in front of Ammand, two inches away from his face. "Take this pestilent, traitorous, cow-hearted, yeasty, codpiece to the brig" I hissed, Pintel and Regetti came out of no where and grabbed Ammand by the arms, laughing as they led him down, to the brig.
"C'mon, Codpiece!" Pintel laughed dragging Ammand's left arm.
"Yeah, yeah! C'mon, cow-heart!" Regetti yelled laughing along with Pintel. I smiled.
"Well, at least someone's having fun" I said watching them go down to the brig.
"They're not having fun, love...they're drunk as pigs" Jack said coming up behind me, worry spread over me.
"Gibbs, go make sure they lock Ammand right!" I yelled, Gibbs nodded and ran down below deck. I turned around to Jack. He had a full bottle of rum in one hand and the cork in the other, I grinned "I'll question him later" I said, Jack lowered the bottle, then held it out to me.
I smiled and took a few gulps from the bottle before Jack could steal it back again, I pushed it away from his lips and, instead, placed my lips on his.
He did not protest.
After a while of the glorious thing called kissing Jack accidently touched the raw scars on my back, I cried out through his lips. He broke the kiss and apologized, moving his hand down to my rump and squeezing. I giggled and he tossed up the rum bottle again, drinking a few huge gulps. He held it out to me once more, I smiled and declined. "More for me" he said, kissing my cheek, and the bottle went back up.
I rolled my eyes playfully and decided it was later. I walked down to the brig, Ammand was sitting on the bench "given up...have you?" I asked walking to the front of the bars.
"Not given up...just, didn't see the point" Ammand said standing up as I approached.
"I'm just going to cut to the point...where is the chest, Ammand?...I know you know where it is...the fate of pirates...the fate of you and I rest on that heart" I said. Ammand started to laugh then turned away from me.
"The fate of pirates and you might rest on that chest but not I...you see, lass...the heart is safely aboard The Endeavour...you see, I made a deal with Maldoff...I am a privateer now, Britney" Ammand said, I narrowed my eyes at the traitor.
"Then you have made a deal with the devil" I hissed, I turned away from the bars and smiled "Master Gibbs!" I yelled with a evil smile.
"Yes, Captain!" Gibbs said walking over to me.
"We have no further need of Captain Ammand"
"Captain?" Gibbs asked worryingly. I turned back to Ammand and held the bars.
"I hope you have chosen your successor, Ammand" I growled, then I looked at Gibbs and nodded, I walked away and halfway up the stairs gunfire pieced the minimal talking among the crew. "Thank you, Captain Ammand" I mumbled to myself as I walked up the stairs, to the main deck.
Chapter Sixty
We have the chest! We finally have it! I thought staring down at the green and black chest. Jack was fighting Maldoff while the rest of the crew was fighting Adam and The Endeavour's crewmen. I was on my knees, on the deck of The Endeavour. Bullets were flying and swords were clashing near me but all I paid attention to was the chest. As I looked down at the chest I remembered the evil deeds I had to do to get to it...
Flashback
I had just killed Ammand and I came back out on deck, "Change course! Head west!" I yelled to the crew. They all nodded and went to it.
"Why change course?" Creep asked, Jack and Gibbs following him up to me with confused looks on their faces. Jack was out of rum and it was dripping out of the bottle into his mouth. I smiled. "Because, Creep," I started "The chest is with our good friend Maldoff" I added and as soon as I said that name Jack dropped the bottle and Gibbs gasped.
"How did you get that out of him?" Jack asked, his mouth still wide open.
"Persuasion" I said walking closer to the Captain.
"Friendly?" Jack asked advancing upon me, I smiled and I felt the tingles again.
"Decidedly not" I said with a smile grabbing Jack's collar and pulling him closer. Gibbs rushed between us.
"Captain, there is a problem" Gibbs said to me with a worried expression covering his face.
"What?" I asked still holding Jack's collar. Gibbs pointed to the west. I took Jack's telescope from him and looked, I saw a gold and black colored ship riding coolly next to a cherry colored ship. I looked at the captains' closely.
Adam and Maldoff were conversing. Then, I saw one of Maldoff's crewmen bringing the chest onto Adam's ship. "Uh oh" I whispered lowering the telescope. "Get ready for battle...now!" I yelled then turned to Gibbs, "head for those ships.. and make sure every cannon and every gun is ready to fire" I hissed.
"Hoist the bloody colours!" I yelled. Soon, Jack's flag was flying above mine. I gave a smile and went to the helm, the other Pirate Lords' ships were not far behind. I yelled "Hoist the colours!"
In response to that I got hoots and yells. Soon, all the Pirate Lords' flags were flying. I turned to see Maldoff with a evil smile and Adam with a warped grin. As we closed onto the doomed ships Maldoff started to laugh darkly, then the Flying Dutchman came out of the water. I was no longer afraid of Davy.
The worst he could do was kill me. I waited until the Pirate Lords were closer. Then I screamed "fire!" Hundreds of cannons went off at the exact same time. We sailed close to Adam's ship. I jumped off and started to cut down crewmen, three by three they fell. I was running toward the lower deck, where I saw them put the chest. When Adam stopped me.
"Hello, darling" He said pushing me with inhuman strength. I was launched backwards, I flew through the Captain's Quarters and fell onto the floor, after I hit the wall, knocking the wind out of me. I pushed myself halfway up, when Adam walked into the room. "You know, for our wedding I was thinking a peaceful beach somewhere...or Tortuga...and the honeymoon I think we should go to Singapore"
"No...wedding..." was all I could say, I was trying to regain my breath. Adam then reached down and held me by my throat. He just stared at me as my face got redder and redder, I slipped my hand into my holster, pulled out my gun and shot Adam in the stomach. He let go of me, then started to laugh. I was in a daze.
Everything was spinning, everything was blurry. Then, Gibbs, Crepsley, Pintel, Regetti, Brandy, Charlotte, and Kayla came to my rescue. They all stuck their swords in him and shot him at the same time. "Go!" Kayla yelled at me as she turned into a wolf monster.
I nodded and ran below deck, two crewmen guarded the chest. I pulled my pistol out and shot both of them, grabbed the chest, and ran. I jumped on to The Endeavour where I fell onto my knees and listened to the chest. We have the chest! We really have it! I thought..
End of Flashback
I opened the chest and snatched the heart. Then yelled "Hey, fish face!" Davy automatically looked at me. "Look what I got!" I added, waving the heart.
Davy stopped moving. But, the battle still raged between pirate, government, and dead people. I smiled evilly and held a knife near the heart, showing him of my intentions. Davy scowled then appeared before me, on The Endeavour. I stepped back and held the knife so the tip was touching the heart.
"You're a cruel woman, Brittney Turner!" He yelled, I smirked.
"Cruel is a matter of perspective, Mr. Jones" I said, holding the knife in place. Davy started to laugh. I looked down to notice Crepsley was laying behind Davy, waking up from unconsciousness. Davy took his sword out and stuck it through Crepsley's heart. My face turned from victorious to mortified in a matter of seconds. "Crepsley.." I whispered.
[And that ends 'Deadly Waters'! But, don't fret! The sequel to this is named 'Storm At Sea...A Deadly Waters Sea-quel'! I hope you all enjoyed this book (I know I did!). Comment below and tell me your favorite parts, any improvements I could make, your favorite characters...etc. etc.
