"Eyes without Speaking confess the secrets of the heart"
Saint Jerome
Chapter I: "What's In A Kiss?"
Elizabeth POV
"I'm not sorry…."
I don't think I even knew then what I was referring to
"I'm not sorry…"
For sending a unique captain and his beloved ship down to the depths? No, It's only been a matter of hours, and I've already regretted it a hundred times over. There's so much pain in Will's eyes that my hearts already heavy of guilt."I'm not sorry…"
for kissing him. For betraying my fiancée? Betraying the one man who I've ever belonged with. Betraying him with a kiss that seemed to last forever, that was as salty as the sea and as bitter as rum. Yes, yes maybe that's what I couldn't apologise for. Maybe that's the only thing that felt right, the only thing I've done in months that felt right. For that one split second, that's when I was rested. But now? Now I cant even stand to meet my best friends gaze, I can't even stand to be myself. I can't even stand to drink I think covering up the warm rum Tia has served us.
"Jack was born a man of the sea, but his heart may not lie there" I hear her dark mysterious voice behind me
"What does that mean?"
"Nothing at all, and at the same time everything" she chuckled like she was having some sort of private joke "after all what's in a kiss?"
Will POV
Of course I saw it, does she really believe I didn't? I saw it, and I felt it. I guess she can try and explain it as our only hope of survival, the only way to give the kraken Jack alone. But I know it's more than that. Any fool can see it was more than that, its more than friendly grieve in her eyes now. It's lost love. And my heart breaks. Not because I can see I've lost her, but because all I want is her happiness. All I've ever wanted was her happiness, I promised myself that the day she saved my life. And it looks like she believes it to be a lifetime away now.
"If there was anything to be done" I say. I meant it as empty words, an impossible promise. I should have known that which better than that.
"No I'm sorry, but there's no way I'm fighting for Jack under his command. I mean have you all forgotten what that man did to him?" She talks in a hushed voice, as she gathers us in a corner away from our proposed Captain
"It's not simply fighting for Jack Elizabeth, it's fighting the kraken" I say trying to make her see sense"Aye, and there's not many men who would undertake that sober I can assure you, even fewer with his knowledge of the ocean" Gibbs backs me up, wistfully
"And there's only one man whose betrayed Jack that much" she breathes, there's real pain in her eyes.
"It's the only way Elizabeth" I say trying to reach for her, but she avoids my grasp
"I don't believe that, there has to be something else" She asks raising an eyebrow at Gibbs, putting more faith in him than she does me
"I don't believe there to be" He responds to her unasked question
"And you all agree with that"
"Aye" Say the other two pirates simultaneously, followed shortly after by the raucous call of the parrot
"Will?"
"I don't know" I respond truthfully
"OK, well, just give me tonight please. If I cant think of any other way we'll leave tomorrow under his command" she speaks the word with abhorrence, and it injures me to see that much hate in my girls world
