Hey everyone, I'm back from vacation and well while I was there I started a new story about Jack and Elizabeth.
This takes place in the first movie. After Jack awakens on the island that he and Elizabeth were stranded on, and he realizes that the rum is gone.
I hope you like this story. Jack is the narrator.
I don't own these characters, although I wish I did.
Remember to review, because if you don't I won't know if I should continue or not.
Chapter 1:
Unexpected Weather
My frustration showed through the widening of my eyes and through the pursing of bottom lip. Elizabeth continued to ramble on about rum, but my attention span had momentarily lapsed. I then asked her confused and utterly upset "But why is the rum gone?" Elizabeth then shook her head softly while sitting down in front of me.
She continued to talk but my I paid no attention to her words. My feet rubbed the sand as thoughts of suicide filled my mind. So I took out my gun that held the one bullet Barbossa had left me for the second time. I then rethought my attempt as I took a few steps around the sand. I put my gun back in my pocket as I heard the sky roar. I looked up at the sky and noticed that the clouds had somehow immediately darkened.
I then felt a raindrop hit my left cheek and I wiped it away with my right hand. I then turned around as I saw that a tropical storm had hit us overhead. I then yelled, "Run", and Elizabeth did what she was told as we ran towards shelter. I stopped under a palm tree and then yelled "Oh great luv now you've done it! You not only wasted the rum, but now your going to kill us both!"
Elizabeth then rubbed her hands together trying to create warmth, she then sighed and I then continued, "Even if the navy was on their way, they can't get to you can they? Anymore brilliant ideas luv?" Elizabeth then began to shiver as she explained, "I only burned the rum to escape, Jack. (She then sat down on the sand) This is just brilliant isn't it? Now I have to spend another night with a despicable filthy pirate!"
I looked at her with a smile, then I sat down beside her and replied "You say that like it's a bad thing, luv". Elizabeth then muttered, "It is!" I glanced over at her and noticed that she was shaking so I put my arm around her, and she shook it off. I chuckled then asked "Well, deary. It seems that you'd rather freeze to death then have…. What was it that you called me? Despicable filthy pirate, right? So you'd rather die then have my arm around you? Suite yourself."
Elizabeth then cried out "Ugh! I cannot believe that I actually though meeting a pirate would be exciting". I then moved a little closer to her while asking "Well, hasn't it been? I mean here we are stuck on an island with a massive tropical storm over our heads and you call that dull?"
Elizabeth smiled at me then said, "Fine, it may be exciting. But I would rather be at home in Port Royal". I then said, "Now why can't I believe that luv? I rather think that you are enjoying this adventure with me. Unless of course you'd rather drown again by a bloody corset.". Elizabeth then muttered "How is that you know me so well Jack?" I smiled back at her question while putting my around her. I then responded "Peas in a pod, luv. (Pause) I find that you remind me of meself. Of course if I was a wench".
Elizabeth then asked "A wench? Is that what I am?" I then gave her a seductive smirk while saying "Aye, Aye. But a beautiful wench, that I want to get to know right now". Elizabeth then pushed me away while saying "Don't lay one hand on me Jack!" I then came closer to her once again while saying "You didn't care much about me hands last night luv". Elizabeth then revolted "I was drunk last night, and so were you. (Pause) Well, your drunk all the bloody time." I then quickly said, "I am not."
Elizabeth then chuckled and replied "Your drunk right now." I then shouted at her "Well, I could be if someone did not burn all the bloody rum!" Elizabeth then glared at me then said "Look, Jack. I didn't know there was a storm coming. Besides, can't you make it one day without rum?" I then thought about the question for a second, and then responded, "No! (Pause) Well, I might if you distracted me".
Elizabeth smiled at me then asked with full confidence "Jack do you actually believe that I am going to fall in love with a man that smells as revolting as you do?" I then moved my head down and smelled my shirt while exclaiming, "I took a bath a week ago! Besides what does love got to with anything Lizzie?" Elizabeth scoffed at my question and then shouted "Oh you are the most loathsome pirate I have ever met!" I gave her a smirk then whispered "Captain Jack Sparrow at your service, luv".
Elizabeth breathed out in frustration then asked "Jack, you don't believe in love do you?" I then replied quite uncomfortable with the subject "No, deary. Love shouldn't be taken so seriously." Elizabeth then said in disbelief "Oh, come on. Love exists, and its been proven". I then ask "Really? Have you ever been in love?" Elizabeth then muttered "Well… no." She was about to continue but I interrupted her "Aye, Aye. Well how do you know it exists if you've never felt it?" Elizabeth then looked up at me and began to smile.
I looked into her eyes, and she did the same. I then opened my mouth as if I was trying to speak but no words came out. Elizabeth then cleared her throat and interrupted our silence by saying "Can you really tell me, that nothing, or no one, has ever made you start to believe in love?"
I then sighed and responded, "Listen, deary. I'll tell you something that none of my mates have ever heard. But I warn you, if you tell anyone this, I'll kill you". I then began to smile as Elizabeth's eyes widened in shock. So I continued "Once when I was a boy, about 11, or so. My father took me sailing one weekend. But my mother showed up unexpected. My mother was never really around when I was a boy, some kind of business she ran. But back to the story, that night I saw my father put his arm around my mother like this…" I then put my arm around Elizabeth, and then continued "And then he kissed her cheek, and whispered I love you".
I noticed Elizabeth looked directly into my eyes as I continued explaining "…and that's when I realized that maybe love does exist. Fortunately for me, it's the sea". Elizabeth then smiled and said, "Jack, love can happen for you too". I then gave her a smirk while replying "Not if I don't want it too".
The rain kept pouring all around us, and just a few seconds later a lightning bolt hit the sand near us and Elizabeth and I both screamed in shock. Elizabeth then grabbed me in fright. I then looked at her, and she looked at me and then I asked her "Tell me, luv. Why is everyone looking for love?" Elizabeth then shrugged as she replied, "I don't know Jack. Maybe it's the closet thing we have to magic." She then moved closer to me while saying "Jack, promise me something."
I nodded and then said, "That all depends". She then continued, "When you do fall in love, because I'm positive that you will one day. But when you do, don't hide it from the world. Don't be afraid to admit it". I chuckled then replied "I am willing to promise you that, luv. Only because I will never ever fall in love." I then felt very uncomfortable so I looked out at the tropical storm in front of us while asking quite sadly "How the hell are we going to get off this island?"
