1.6. Help is coming, maybe. Eventually.

Elizabeth and I watched out the window. A shipwreck dawning closer and closer to us. This was the end of us, those two idiots walked in after a while. They had two others with them. This wasn't looking too good. "Time to go, poppets." He said to us and I looked at him.

"And why should we? And do not even say 'Captains orders'." I said before he had to pull me and Elizabeth out. They were all ho'ing at us. Barbosa moved Elizabeth's hair from her front and put the medallion on her neck. Tying it off for show, we ere then put on a boat and rowed to a cave entrance. Was the end of everything. I was hoping help would come sooner rather than later when we'd both have cutlasses through our torsos. Once we made it on shore we were taken somewhere. There was treasure. All the pirates were giving it back.

"Move." One of them said before pushing us forwards. I don't think any one was coming but how would we communicate where there was no letter carriers on board or even pigeons.

"Gentlemen, the time has come! Our salvation is nigh! Our tournament is near an end! For ten years we've been tested and tried, and each man here has proved his mettle a hundred times over and a hundred times again!" Barbossa shouldn't getting a rupture of cheers.

"Suffered, I have!" One eye said in the crowd.

"Punished we were, the lot of us, disproportionate to our crime! Here it is!" He shouted before kicking the top off of something. to reveal more medallions. "The cursed treasure of Cortes himself. Every last piece that went astray, we haven't returned. Save for this!" He shouted while pointing at Elizabeth and I. This wasn't going to happen at all. We weren't dying for some pirates. He kept talking and the crew kept cheering. "Who among us has paid the blood sacrifice owed to the heathen gods? And whose blood must yet be paid?" He asked and they all pointed at Elizabeth.

"Hers!" They all shouted I looked at her.

"We're getting out of here." I said to her and I was trying to figure out a plan. But nothing.

"You know the first thing I'm going to do after the curse is lifted?" He asked getting chuckles from everyone. "Eat a whole bushel of apples!" He said to the two of us before pushing us to the ground.

"I wouldn't have thought apples were your thing." I said to him getting a look.

"Blood! Blood! Blood! Blood! Blood!" They all kept chanting, this was the worst scenario.

"Begun by blood. By blood undone." He said before getting his knife ready. He took the medallion before placing it in Elizabeth's hand.

"Leave her alone." I said to him but he already slit her hand.

"That's it?" She asked him after it was over.

"Waste not." He said before squeezing her hand and then opening it. Letting the medallion fall freely. I looked at her hand.

"It'll be okay. Once we get out of here we'll wrap it and clean it." I said to her with a smile. This was over now, I saw no point in is being here any more. They all went silent.

"Did it work?" One of them asked, they all thought something drastic would happen. But it didn't. Still the skeleton crew.

"I don't feel no different." One eye said to us all. It was going to be an obvious change was it.

"How do we tell?" His compadre asked the Captain. Barbossa pulled his pistol on him and shot him. He didn't die.

"You not dead." One of the crew asked him and he looked back at him and smiled.

"No. You shot me!" He shouted while looking at his Captain.

"It didn't work. The curse is still upon us!" One of them shouted and that wasn't our problem. They all started shouting at each other. He then looked at us. He went to try my hand but still no reaction.

"You, maids! Your father, what was his name? Was your father William Turner?" He asked us while shaking Elizabeth's shoulder.

"No." She said to him.

"And he never will be." I said to him with a smug look coming across my face.

"Where's his child that sailed from England eight years ago and in whole veins flows the blood of William Turner? Where?" He asked and we both said nothing getting a smack across the face from him I saw black. Until I felt a hand grab my face. It was that pirate from earlier. He did a signal at me to stay silent and to go with him. I saw Will and Elizabeth. They took us to safety before Jack went to go somewhere. Help end up coming at at the perfect time. If they'd come later we might've been dead and who knows what would've happened to us probably dead in this cave. Cold and cursed. I heard them all cheer again. I didn't even know what that was about. Jack left me with Will and Elizabeth. This pirate was a savior not a villain like this crew.

"Are you both okay?" Will asked us both and I looked at him and then at our hands.

"Does it look like it." I said to him with a smile, he then goes us onto a boat heading towards another ship.

"Not more pirates." Elizabeth said to them all and I looked around.

"I've had enough of them for a while." I said to them all, a bearded man with a parrot on his shoulder looked at us.

"Welcome aboard, Miss Elizabeth and Miss Y/n." He said to us, I knew this man.

"Mr. Gibbs?" Elizabeth and I said at them same time. I hadn't seen him in years.

"Hey, boy, where he Jack?" He asked him and we looked at Will. Where was that pirate.

"Jack? Jack Sparrow?" Elizabeth asked him, she clearly wasn't too happy about this situation.

"He fell behind." Will said to us all before moving Lizzie and I away. I couldn't believe what was happening. But hopefully everything would be sorted out soon. Then we'd be free from pirates. At least for a minute or so.
