Dead Man's Chest ~Into The Kraken~ [18] Finale

Recap:
"I say we respect his last wish!" Jack said, nervously.
"Aye!" you and Pintel yelled. Quickly boarding the boat, with an unconscious Will, you rowed off to the Pearl.

"Where's the commodore?" Gibbs asked, right when you boarded the Pearl.
"No hi? Or perhaps a hello?" you asked, pretending to sound offended. "Or maybe, you're alive!" you added, dramatically.
"He fell behind." Jack interrupted, answering Mr. Gibbs question. He walked off to the helm, taking the jar of dirt with him.
You watched Mr. Gibbs sullen expression, as he said,
"My prayers be with him." You patted him on the shoulder, leading him towards the helm.
"Don't say that, Mr. Gibbs." You said. "Perhaps he's not dead. And besides, if you gave him your prayers, you wouldn't have any for yourself." You laughed at your own joke, while Mr. Gibbs and Jack looked at you oddly. Wiping off your smile, you shrugged. "Just trying to lighten the mood." You mumbled. You had the sudden thought that you may have jinxed the "mood", for The Dutchman came shooting out of the water, just as you ended your sentence.
"Obviously, there's no lightening the mood now." You sighed, leaning your elbow on Jack's shoulder.
"Lord on high, deliver us." Mr. Gibbs mumbled. Jack and you looked at each other, then lightly pushed Gibbs aside.
"We'll handle this mate." Walking towards The Dutchman, you and Jack called out
"Oi! Fishface!" Jack held up the jar of dirt, smiling proudly. Davy Jones looked at the both of you, his face hardening. Though it was quite difficult to imagine, since in reality, his face was quite squishy.
"Lose something?" you asked, walking sideways, Jack along your side.
"Eh? Scungilli?" Jack added, only angering Davy more.
Now, walking sideways was a horrible thing to have done, because just as Jack and yourself neared the edge of the stairs, you both went tumbling down. Yelps of "ooh" came from the whole crowd, as they winced for your pain. Jack, who had mysteriously landed on top of you, grinned even wider.
"Well this is nice." He commented. You smiled sarcastically up at him, then pushed him off, grabbing the jar of dirt.
"Got it!" you yelled happily, shoving it into the air. You plopped back onto your feet, and asked, "come to negotiate, have you?"
"You slimy git!" Jack added, walking closely behind you. "Look what we got."
You shook the jar in your hands as he said this. Then looking at Jack, you both shared a smile and began to sing.
"We've got a jar of dirt! We've got a jar of dirt! And guess what's inside it!" you handed Jack the jar, and he held it above your heads, cheerfully. That was way out of hand, apparently, the whole song and slimy git. As you and Jack stood facing the Dutchman, Davy Jones brought out his cannons. The smiles dropped from your faces, flushing all emotion but fright.
"Hard to starboard." You and Jack mumbled.
"HARD TO STARBOARD!" Elizabeth yelled from behind you.
"We done it this time, Jack." You whimpered, watching as everyone ran around frantically. You took a hold of the wheel, attempting to sail with the wind.
"Common love..." You whispered to the Pearl, hoping it would somewhat work. All of a sudden, Marty yelled out,
"They're giving up!" Cheers exploded within the crew; Jack smiled at you, though you didn't return it.
"Something doesn't feel right." You told him. His face got intense, and once again confused.
All of a sudden, Will came barging up; his eyebrows matching the frown on his face.
"My father is on that ship." He rasped.
"We know Will." You said gravely towards him. Your grip on the wheel tightened, making your knuckles form white. Jack, noticing your blood boiling, placed a hand around your waist in order to keep you calm.
"If we can out run her, we can take her." Will continued. "We should turn and fight."
Jack turned to face him, smiling wearily.
"Why fight," he started, "when we can negotiate?" you smiled at the thought of that, and nodded.
"All one needs is the right leverage." You said. Jack nodded, placing the jar on the rail.
But of course, thing were to go awry from there. Since luck was running fairly badly for the lot of you, why not once more?
The ship lurched forward, moving the jar forward as well. This resulted in the breaking of the jar.
"Jack!" you screamed in horror. Following him down the stairs, you threw yourself at the dirt, in search for the heart.
"Where is it?" Jack asked quietly. "Where is the thump-thump?" He dug into the dirt, but with no such luck did he find the heart. It was missing.
"We must have hit a reef!" came the voice of one of the crew members. You watched Elizabeth peer over the side of the ship.
"No," Will said. "It's not a reef." You didn't have to listen further on, for your already knew what he meant. It was the Kraken.
You and Jack bounced up, making a disgusted faces at the thought of the Kraken attacking.
"Let's go." He grabbed your hand, and pulled you towards the boats. You knew exactly what he was planning, and you weren't about to let him get away with it.
"Jack, no!" you protested, yanking your hand away from his grip. "We must stay, and fight!" he ignored you, while trying to untie the boat.
"Common." He urged, loading the boat into the water. You crossed your arms and turned away.
"Be a coward if you want Jack, but I'm not going."
Jack sighed from behind you, and you could imagine him shaking his head.
"I'm sorry Fhera, but I have to do this." Then something rough hit the top of your head, and you fell into a black dream.

"You hit me!" were the first words to come out of your mouth as you say up in the boat. A sharp pain soared through your head as you rubbed it. You soon realized that Jack had knocked you out, and taken you hostage in the boat; now you were floating out at sea.
"Bloody hell..." You mumbled. You looked around, seeing nothing but water, and then at Jack. "Why did you bring me?" you asked him, glaring all the while. Jack stopped rowing, staring blankly into your face. "I told you to leave me Jack!"
His gaze dropped, and he let out a sigh.
"Because Fhera..." Eh began, looking up this time, and leaning in closer. As his lips neared yours, your eyes widened with shock, but not at him.
"Jack, look!" you pointed behind him, and he turned quickly. You both watched, astonished, as the Kraken attacked the Pearl, from all sides. It was a horrible sight.
"Our ship is being beaten, and we're not doing anything about it, besides running away like cowards!" you yelled. "And it's not only the ship, our crew and our friends!"
"you're right." Jack stated. "Let's go back." Throwing yourself at Jack, you kissed him on the lips. To your surprise, after you pulled away, Captain Jack Sparrow was blushing.
me: keep reading...
Jack boarded the ship first, then helped you up. No one had seemed to notice that the two of you had disappeared. Something dropped from behind you, and looking down you saw a rifle. You nudged Jack to pick it up, but he didn't seem to get it, and instead stepped on it, ignoring the fact that it was even there. You caught Elizabeth stumbling up the stairs, trying to pry the gun from underneath his foot. Grabbing her by the arm, you helped her up, and nudged Jack again.
"You're on the rifle." you stated plainly, pointing down at it. He looked surprised as he saw it laying there, and picked it up.
"Say when." He mumbled to you, watching the Kraken carefully with the gun by his face.
Watching Will wrestle with the Kraken was quite entertaining, but as soon as he fell you yelled out,
"WHEN!" Jack fired, and you all watched as the bullet spun through the air, hitting the rum barrel. A huge explosion occurred; fire roared through the air, blowing the Kraken's tentacles to bits, and it withered away back to the sea to safety. Bits of flames, and smoke littered the ship. Tattered clothes, broken cannons, splintered wood--the ship was in a wreck.
From down below you heard Marty ask if the Kraken had been killed.
"No," Mr. Gibbs replied. "We just angered it. We're not out of this yet." He made his way towards you and Jack. "Captains orders?"
"Abandon ship." Jack said, handing Mr. Gibbs the rifle. "Into the long boat."
"Jack....the Pearl.." Mr. Gibbs said. He looked at you for something more, but you shook your head, and walked down the stairs.
"It's only a ship mate." You answered. It felt as if your heart had melted as you said those words. You were positive that there was no worse pain for a pirate, besides losing ones ship. Losing the Pearl would be like losing your soul. All feeling you ever had left in you. It would be like losing your smile, your laugh...your everything.
"She right." Elizabeth said. "We have to head for land."
"There's a lot of open water." Pintel said nervously.
"We can get away, as it takes down the Pearl." Will said.
"Abandon ship." Mr. Gibbs yelled out, reluctantly. "Abandon ship, or abandon hope."

As the others boarded the long boat, you made your way over to Will's side.
"Will," you took his hand before he could board. "I'm sorry. For everything." He climbed back over the railing, embracing you into a warm hug. You kissed him on the cheek, smiling.
"You've always been a great younger brother, I don't know how we ever drifted apart."
"We haven't drifted apart Fhera." Will said, as he pulled away. "You've always looked out for me. Than--" he suddenly stopped talking, and his eyes fixed somewhere else behind you. You turned to see what he was looking at.
You were wrong. Losing the Pearl wasn't the worst pain. Losing your first love and only love was. What had stopped Will was Elizabeth, kidding Jack.
She has known you loved him, so why would she have done such a thing? And it wasn't only you, she was hurting Will as well.
"Will," you whispered, turning around to face him. It looked as if his heart had been ripped apart. You let out a hoarse laugh. "I guess we both lost our first and only loves. Apparently they're in love with each other."
"Oh Fhera..." Will said, looking sadly at you. "I almost forgot about you and Jack..."
"Prepare to cast off, there's no time to lose!" Boomed Mr. Gibbs voice, as he boarded the boat.
"Common Fhera." Will said, taking your hand. You slowly slipped it out from his grip, smiling all the while.
"I've made my decision Will. I'm not going. I'm staying here." You told him.
"No!" he yelled out, reaching for you.
"The Kraken's not after you. It's after me and Jack." You gave him one more hug, then stepped away from the rail, and made your way over to Jack who was now handcuffed.
Wait, handcuffed?! As Elizabeth walked away, you realized what she had done, and why. You remembered when she had been talking to Jack earlier, telling him how if he did something good, she would repay him. That kiss was his pay, and his good deed was coming back. But she had also locked him up, for she also knew that the Kraken wasn't after them, but you and Jack.

"Mind helping your best friend out love?" Jack asked, smiling pleadingly at you. You sat yourself on the mast, watching Jack struggle with the chains.
"So Jack.." You asked casually. "How was your kiss with Lizzy, eh?" he glared at you, with pierced lips. You got off the helm, and looked around for something to free Jack with. The ship suddenly started to moved sideways, and from the corner of your eye you caught a glimpse of a candle lamp. Grabbing it quickly, you broke it against the mast and poured the wax onto the steel on Jack's hands.
"Pull!" you yelled to Jack. Standing right in front of him, leaning against his chest, you helped to pull the leather.
"Pull!" you cried again. Giving one last jolt, the leather slipped from his fingers, leaving him free.
"Thanks darling." Jack smiled.
"No problem, love." You sniffed, taking a deep breath. Though it wasn't very pleasurable as it ought to have been. Something deep, and murky stenched the air. "Jack..."
"Hmm..?" he whimpered. The both of you turned around to see the enormous teeth of the one and only, Kraken.
And suddenly, with the most revolting and deafening noise, it blew its snot out at the both of you.
Slimy, yellowish, green snot stuck to you and Jack like glue.
"Not so bad." He commented, flinging some of it off of his face.
"Oh look!" you peered down, pointing happily. "It's our hats!" you handed Jack his and propped yours on the top of your head.
The both of you knew very well what was coming next, but before you did anything, you knew what you had to do now.
"Jack I have to tell you something!"
"Fhera I have to tell you something!" he said at the same time as you.
"I love you!" you both blurted. You gasped, in surprise, while Jack stared at you wildly.
"Just swell." He smiled goofily, and grabbed you by the hip, bringing you close to him. You both unsheathed your swords, still staring into each others eyes. And as the Kraken drew closer in on you two, Jack pressed his lips to yours, giving you the most memorable and wonderful kiss of all. And as the both of your raised your swords, while still locking lips in that deep pleasurable kiss that would send chills down your spine any day, you stabbed into its mouth as it closed around you two.
Who knew this would be a happy ending after all...well partially.

(me: and its done!!) hooray! We confessed our love for each other! Took you long enough! (me: HEY!....*taps chin* eh, you're right! HOORAY!)
