A Will to Survive
Chapter 4
Disclaimer: See Chapter 1
A/N: I’M SORRRRRY! I meant to have this up ages ago, but I got so caught up by other things that it just wasn’t possible.
Thanks to:
katie_k - Thank you so much! I loved your review! I’m so glad you like the story! I like doing the opposite of what is expected, which is why Mr. Brown is the way he is. And this story will more than likely be a little long, maybe not too long though. Of course, I’m always willing to write a prequel or sequel.
Sarryn - Hope you haven’t died yet of the suspense that I’ve exposed your heart to. If you have, I’m sorry.
Glorry - NO, YOU CAN’T KILL LIZ YET! I need her for the rest of my story. And I won’t do anything evil to her, well, not extremely evil. You must look at it from her perspective. She had to ensure the safety of all the people of Port Royal, and though it pained her, she had to sacrifice Will. Don’t worry, Jack won’t let her off that easily. As to how many personalities I have, let me think. There’s the crazy one, the sadistic one, the other crazy one, the lazy one, the heartless one, the compassionate one, the optimistic one, the pessimistic one, the insane one, the asinine one, the cruel one, the other other crazy one,…you get the picture. (Huinedil: You don’t have to shout from the mountains that we’re schizophrenic. Agarwaenloth: Shut up!) Thanks for the review!
angelbird - I’m so glad you like it! I hope you like this chapter as well!
Starlit Hope - In her mind, she had no choice. She had to save the people, even if it meant sacrificing a life. But that doesn’t mean we have to like it.
CJ*-Cj - I hope that you’ve stopped holding your breath. Don’t kill Elizabeth. I need her. Thanks ever so much for the review! (Athmegil: Look at her, trying to talk all proper and shit. She makes me sick. Laireloth: Now that’s not very nice. Agarwaenloth: Both of you, go away!)
Legolas19 - I just had to make him suffer.
Eci_Frog - Don’t beg, you look like a dog. (Morelen: Enough! Good movie. Athmegil: You would know, isn’t that all you do? Agarwaenloth: I warning you!) Hope you enjoy this chapter!
lelann37 - Sorry I kept you waiting for so long! Hope you like!
Black Wolf of Normandy - She is a bit thick, isn’t she?
MustIBeAMalfoy - Yeah, she kinda is. (Athmegil: Let’s kill her! Huinedil: No, let’s torture her first! Agarwaenloth: SHUT UP!!!!!!!)
Lydia NightShade - Disney is so naïve about so many things. I mean look at the movie. A dirt poor blacksmith turned pirate is really going to hook up with a rich governor’s daughter and live happily ever after, in that period of time? As if.
TossingStarlight - You okay? Didn’t break anything in that fall did you? Good.
A Will to Survive
Chapter 4
Elizabeth shook herself out of the daze she had gone in. She couldn’t just leave Will with those ruthless pirates, especially since if it hadn’t been for her, he wouldn’t have even been taken in the first p. H. However, there was a problem. She had no idea where they were taking him and what they intended to do with him when they got there, not to mention that she knew next that she would never convince Commodore Norrington to go after him. She sighed, that was her fault and she knew it. The Commodore felt threatened by the blacksmith because she fancied him. Of course, she knew that she would never dream of marrying him, a commoner. Still, James didn’t seem to get that. There was only one person who might be persuaded to help her, although she loathed the idea.

Jack looked up as he heard someone coming down the stairs. Surely they wouldn’t hang him now, would they? He shuddered at the thought. He couldn’t bare the thought of dying and leaving Will at the mercy of Barbossa.
Rage ignited within him as he caught sight of the intruder. He wanted nothing more than to murder the wench right then and there. “What do you want?” he barked out harshly.
Elizabeth winced at his tone. “Mr. Sparrow, I’m sorry about our dispute before, but I need your assistance. A dear friend of mine has been taken captive by the pirates that invaded our port.”
The pirate’s eyes flashed in anger. “A dear friend! Is that why you handed his life over to those vicious fiends?!? Because he was a dear friend!”
Elizabeth became quite flustered at that. “Yes, he was a dear friend, not that it’s any of your business! What do you care anyway?” she shouted back at him.
“I care more than you could possibly imagine!”
“Well, since you care so much, you won’t have any problem helping me rescue him!”
Jack raised an eyebrow. “And how do you suppose you go about getting me out of here, huh? The key’s run off.”
Elizabeth held up another set of keys. “I’m the governor’s daughter, remember?”

Will blinked owlishly in the dim light. His arms were secured above him and he had was lying on something rather soft. He could feel the slight rocking beneath him and instantly knew he was on a ship. As his vision came into focus, fear shot through him. There was Barbossa standing over him, obvious lust in his eyes.
The pirate smiled unnervingly when he saw that he was awake. “Hope you slept well. I’ve been searching for you for a long time. You’ve given us quite a bit of trouble, and you can be sure that you will pay for it hundred fold.” When Barbossa saw that he was getting no reaction out of the young man, he decided to change tactics. “So, the men tell me that Jack Sparrow was in the jailhouse in Port Royal. Imagine he’s hanged by now. Good riddance.”
Will had managed to remain impassive at everything Barbossa did or said, but at the mention of the possibility of Jack being dead, he couldn’t help showing the fear and anguish he felt.
Barbossa smirked. “So you were a friend of Jack’s.” He caressed Will’s body light from his face to his groin. “Maybe even more than friends.” He pressed down hard on Will’s crotch and Will shuddered in disgust and fear. Barbossa laughed. “Don’t worry, whelp. I want to be able to feel you when I take you, which means that you have to break this curse first.”

I know, short, but I my wrist is hurting for some reason and I’m dead tired. I’ll have the next up soon hopefully.
