[i]I give up.[/i]
I wasn't sure I had spoken that, until Captain Jack Sparrow turned around and gave me a Jack Sparrow trademark confused look. James Norrington also turned, but his gaze was filled with sorrow, understanding and anger. He walked up to me, his eyes never leaving mine and muttered 'No, oh God, no... Not him.'
'What's tha' luv?' Jack shouted, swaggering over
'I said, I give up!' I said with more confidence.
'Give up? Tha' 's a bi' harsh. Not a' all like you Lizzie! I hope you're not talkin' bout tha' eunuch... Or maybe I do…' He muttered and trailed off, already eager for a reply. Angry, I stood taller.
'He is [i]not[/i] a eunuch, Jack! Besides, there would be no reason to find Will.' Jack's eyes brightened, I swear.
'Why's tha'?'
'No...' Norrington couldn't bear to watch.
'I can no longer hide what I truly feel, Captain Sparrow. This compass has been giving us a false heading for a while now.'
'Well, luv... I must say, i'm flattered...'
I rolled her eyes, sighing. I continued anyway.
'I admit that I am no longer in love William Turner.'
Both men's eyebrows shot up. Taking advantage, I took a step closer to Jack. I enjoy taunting him, and although many women wouldn't say so, there was a huge advantage to be had by being the only woman on a ship crewed by men... Well, one of the only women.
'I love another man. A man with courage.'
I stepped forward as Jack stood a little taller.
'Passion.'
Step forward.
[i]Oh my,[/i] I thought suddenly. [i]Jack [b]does[/b] look proud.[/i]
'I love…'
Both men lent forward eagerly.
'…..Ragetti.'
