A/N: Thank you so much for those who are still reading this story. I know it has been a long time since I posted. Sorry. Well heres the next chapter. so enjoy.
Goddamn it Jack. Why do you try to lock me in here? All it's going to do is delay me fighting. Elizabeth thought as she tried to figure out how to get out of Jack's cabin. She had left all of her effects in her cabin for the day thinking that she wouldn't need them. She wouldn't have time to go and get them so she would have to find Jacks spares in order to fight. She tore the cabin apart and finally found a cutlass and and pistol in an old trunk. The only challenge now was the door. How the hell am I suppose to get out of here. Damn you Jack and you're need to protect me. Elizabeth decided to kick the door down. It should give way because of how weathered it was. She kicked it once and heard a faint crack. She kicked it again and nothing happened. She was discouraged but knew she had to help Jack. She kicked it one last time and the weathered wood gave way. The entire crew was fighting the East India Trading Company. The Pearl was outnumbered and Jack was in the thick of it. Elizabeth knew that if something didn't change soon the Trading Company could potentially take over the ship. At this point a member of the Trading Company had spotted Elizabeth and made his move to attack her.
He attacked her from straight on and she spun to avoid the attack. She slashed his neck and watched him fall to the deck. Her blood was pumping and she was ready for this battle. Elizabeth charged in not thinking about what her next move; running solely on instinct. She slashed and hacked, men falling in he wake. Her cutlass was stained with blood when Jack came up behind her to try to get her attention. Elizabeth's mind was still focused on the battle and she did not realize who it was before she spun around to attack and forced him against the mainmast with her cutlass against his neck. The scowl on her face from the battle melted away with the recognition of who her victim was.
"Oh God Jack! I'm so sorry!" Elizabeth said as she threw her sword to the ground.
"It's alright love. Shouldn't have come up behind ye so soon after the battle" he said rubbing his neck. She did not hurt him but it was natural instinct to make sure. He chuckled and shook his head. "I should say thank you. I think we might have all been dead with out you."
"Now will you stop treating me like delicate rose?" She questioned.
"Never. I will always try to protect you. Not because I think ye can't protect your self but because I don't want to see you hurt." Jack said looking straight into her eyes. The fact that Jack had said that in front of the entire crew made her pause and think about how much he truly cared for her. And if she cared for him as much or more.
The sound of a large disturbance in the water brought Elizabeth out of her thoughts. It was the Flying Dutchman both Jack and Elizabeth were surprised to see it and unsure what to next. They looked at each other and waited for the inventible to happen.
A/N: This story is drawing to a close. There is at least one more full chapter before the end and an epilogue. I can expand it out if y'all want that but you have to let me know. Thanks for reading.
