Hi!

I´m really sorry I´ve been gone for so long again, but I reread all of your reviews and they make me so fucking happy, you don´t even know. Anyway, this story has been such a pleasure to write, I really fell in love with the storyline, unfortunately I was super dumb and forgot that after the curses were all broken, the Dutchman cannot sail underwater anymore… umm, can we ignore that or sth? I´m really sorry lmao

Yeah, so this is the last chapter, tysm for reading and reviewing and following, it means the world to me.

Chapter 6

It had almost been a full hour since Larry and Luna had started searching for Jack. They hadn´t been able to do much searching in the forest and were mostly trying to hide from the remainder of Arthur´s crew. „We need to get out of the forest, that´s the only place he could still be." Larry hissed. „Looks like they´ll beat us to it, though." Luna pointed out, since the three remaining pirates were almost out of the forest, while the teens were still hiding, watching them.

It had now stopped raining and the sun was bright red at the horizon. It was almost completely down. Neither Jack, nor Angelica said a word. Slowly, the saw the masts and sails of the Dutchman come closer from the other side of the island, sailing back towards them. They weren´t worried about their crew. They knew the strongest and best sailors had made it. Jack was only unsure about Luna. He had to tell Angelica Luna was alive. He took out a flask from one of his pockets and drunk it all in one go, then, he cleared his throat.

He opened his mouth, to start speaking, when an all too familiar voice interrupted him. „Ah, look at this. The Sparra and his little wench finally reunited." Captain Arthur said in a musical kind of way, stepping out from behind a tree and stopping midway between Angelica and Jack, who had turned around in shock and utter disbelief, and the palm tree forest. He took out his gun. „Who wants to go first? I really don´t think you should get mercy… after all, you abandoned your ships and left your crew to fight alone, while watching the sunset and… making love." He grinned a disgusting grin at that and Angelica shot back: „We never so much as touched."

Arthur pouted. „Oh, how sad. I remember how terribly tempting it was to make you the wench of the Dark Eagle. Ya know, if I just shoot yer lova first, then that dream of mine can become… reality." He threatened and aimed the gun at Jack, who smirked. Angelica was visibly shaking all over now, she would rather kill herself than be raped several times a day, presumably, by the most disgusting human being she knew. And that was coming from someone who had been with Captain Jack Sparrow.

Suddenly, three of Arthur´s men appeared right beside him and Arthur lowered his weapon to quickly talk to the men. Jack turned to Angelica and did something, she never would have dreamed of him doing (again). „Angelica, marry me. Now. Remember? Fourteen years ago I asked you and I… messed it up. Let´s do it now. I don´t want to die without fulfilling what I promised you."

Angelica just stared at him with her mouth wide open. „J-Jack, umm… you don´t have to do this, you know, you said it yourself, it will never work out, I-" She was cut off by him. „Just say yes, luv" He smirked and Angelica tried to hold in her smile, but failed miserably. „Yes… yes, I… I will, if we still get the chance." She whispered and took his hand. This was so out of character for both of them, but she had never been happier in her life. Without warning her, Jack spun around and shot Arthur´s leg, he screamed and fell to the ground. „I THOUGHT YA TOLD ME THEY DON´T HAVE ANY WEAPONS, YA FILTHY, USELESS IDIOTS!" He yelled at his three crewmembers, who just stared at their captain in shock. Jack took advantage of this and shouted down to Will, who was by now close enough to hear: „WILL! DO IT LIKE BARBOSSA DID WITH YOU AND LIZZY: MARRY US! NOW!"

Suprised, Will tried to process what he had just heard and shot Jack a look of utter disbelief, muttering to himself that he had no idea who this lady even was, but soon realised Arthur was up there and since he couldn´t magically teleport up to help them, he sighed and just did as he was told. If Jack was going to die, which Will was sure he was, at least he could to him this favour.

„DEARLY BELOVED…" He started, but neither Jack nor Angelica were listening. They were staring at eachother, but not in the cheesy, happy, mariage kind of way, more a shocked at what they were just doing kind of way. Was this what they truly wanted?

Arthur and his three companions had stopped their childish fight and were now trying to charge at Angelica and Jack, but mainly Jack, actually, Will simply continued speaking. Arthur pulled out his gun, pointed it at Jack, pulled the trigger and BANG! He missed the Sparrow´s head by about a centimeter. Reacting quickly, Angelica sliced open Arthur´s arm, by dragging her sword across it swiftly and fast. He yelped and stumbled back, inspecting his arm. It was clear that he was weaker now, as normally, this would not have bothered him too much. Will´s voice now rang through the screams of the other pirates as Angelica stabbed them one by one, which didn´t kill them, yet.

„Do you, Captain Jack Sparrow, take… uh, what´s her name?" Will called up to Jack, audibly and visibly frustrated. „Angelica Teach!" Jack replied, smirking. Will cleared his throat and climbed up onto the railing, smiling aswell. „Do you take Angelica Teach as your lawful wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death parts you?" Will asked him, looking directly at him, even though he was below him, in the water. Jack cringed. Ugh. So out of character for him. „I… do." He finally replied and Angelica stopped fighting to smile at him. This felt too unreal.

„Do you, Miss Angelica Teach, take Captain-" Will repeated, but was interrupted by Angelica: „Yes, yes, of course I do!" As if it was a stupid thing to even ask her.

Will cocked an eyebrow. „Very well, you may kiss!" He announced and the whole crew aboard the Dutchman cheered. Not even caring to check where Arthur was, Jack pulled Angelica in forcefully and their lips crashed together. It was no soft, formal kiss, it was a real, passionate, kiss. The typical Jack/Angelica kiss, they always shared.

Luna and Larry silently crept to the last trees of the forest. Arthur was lying on the ground, clearly wounded and two of his last crewmembers were dead. One was struggling to get to his feet and was obviously trying to get to Arthur to help him get up. Then, Luna spotted Jack at the edge of the cliffs and a woman, who had her back turned to them. „Yes, yes, of course I do!" she interrupted someone who had been speaking right down from the sea below the cliffs, either Gibbs or Will, or possibly someone from the Revenge. „What´s going on?" Larry whispered, confused. He knew Angelica, he just had no idea these two were still… together. And what were they doing?

„You may kiss!" The voice now called and Jack pulled the woman in, kissing her passionately. She turned her head slightly and Luna froze.

This time she was certain the world had stopped spinning, because everything stood still. Maybe she was dead and in heaven, reunited with Jack and her… her… her mother? „Luna?" Larry tapped her on the shoulder. No, she was alive. This was reality. It was her mother. „It.. it´s… they… they just… got…married, I-I think." Luna stuttered, trying not to cry, since she was so overwhelmed with emotions. She didn´t understand what was going on. Jack and her mother?

She just stood up, stepped out from behind the tree and yelled: „MAMA?" As loudly as she could. Immediately, Angelica broke the kiss and looked Luna dead in the eye, in disbelief, questioning if she was seeing things. „LUNA! LUNA, IS IT YOU?" She cried, now actually starting to cry and running towards her daughter, hugging her tight and lifting her off the ground like a little baby. Luna hugged her back so tightly, Angelica thought she might suffocate. Both were crying.

„It was them, it was Captain Arthur, he destroyed Port Royal, he was behind everything all along!" Luna exclaimed, looking first at her mother, then at Jack, still sobbing. It didn´t surprise either of the two.

Suddenly, an arm wrapped itself around Luna´s throat and a pistol was pointed at her head. Angelica gasped and looked up. Captain Arthur. A sly, knowing grin on his face said it all. He knew everything. While he had been lying there on the ground, he, the most evil and most hated enemy Angelica had ever faced, had witnessed something she treasured greatly, something so personal. He had seen how much she loved Jack and he knew Jack loved her too. He had, after all, proposed twice. He had heard what they had been talking about, he had seen the looks they gave eachother, the way they smiled at eachother, things words could not describe. He was not stupid, he knew what Luna meant to Angelica and Jack. As soon as he had seen Luna come out from behind that tree, he had known she was their daughter. She not only looked like a perfect mix of Jack and Angelica, her personality was also half Jack, half Angelica.

Jack had pointed his gun at Arthur now, standing next to his wife. He was uncharacteristically serious. „Let her go." He simply said. Angelica swallowed hard. This was not going to go the way Jack wanted it to.

„Let her go?" Arthur repeated, chuckling. „Ya know what, I´ll let her choose. Miss Teach… or… miss Sparrow, I can shoot you and your parents will live. Or, I can shoot your daddy, and you and mommy will survive. Or, I can shoot daddy first, since I see… mommy has no weapon, then I shoot you and then I can either take mommy onto my ship and tie her to the bed and-" „SHUT UP!" Luna yelled, which made Arthur press the cold gun even harder onto her temple. „You get to choose." Arthur hissed, changing from his drunk-like personality, back to the low-voice, threatening one he was so well-known for. „Ten… nine… eight… seven… six… well? Too bad. Five… four… three… two… and… one"

BANG! BANG!

Arthur let go of Luna and collapsed onto the ground, blood pooling around him. Behind him stood Larry, his gun still pointed at where Arthur´s head used to be. Everyone stood still in shock, while the boy lowered the gun. „Why didn´t you shoot?" Angelica muttered to Jack, not looking at him. He couldn´t explain it. Maybe it was that he couldn´t believe this was really happening. Maybe it was fear of what could happen if he missed. Maybe it was fear of hitting Luna, after all, his hand was shaking a lot. Maybe it was all that at once.

Angelica understood. She knew him better than anyone else in the world, she simply embraced Luna and then Larry, thanking him repeatedly. He was then called by Gibbs, who was waiting down in the water, aboard the Pearl, next to the Revenge and the Dutchman. They knew to give the Sparrows a few minutes alone.

Angelica and Jack returned to watching the sunset, only now, they were watching the sparkly night sky and the full moon, with Luna standing next to Jack.

„It´s true, what he said, right? I´m a Sparrow. I´ve always been. And deep down, I think I´ve always… known. Ever since you mama started talking about you." Said Luna, breaking the silence and Jack smirked, first at Luna, then at Angelica, his beautiful wife.

There he was, with his wife and daughter, watching the Caribbean night sky. Life was strange, he never thought he´d ever find himself in that situation. But he was… happy.
