"Captain, where exactly are we going?" Gibbs asked as he watched Jack look at his compass.
"Somewhere important." Jack said.
"And where is that and why is it important?"
"You ask too many questions." Jack said closing his compass and putting it away.
"Jack." Gibbs pleaded.
"I will tell you one thing mate. It's somewhere, where there's something that we'll take and bring to, some place." Jack said grinning. He patted Gibbs who smiled and nodded his head. Jack walked away leaving Gibbs content.
"So the Captain told ye?" Pintel asked.
"Uh come to think of it…no." Gibbs said still thinking of what Jack had said.
"What do ya think the Cap'n's hidin'?" Ragetti asked rubbing his eye.
"I don't know but whatever it is, it's not good." Gibbs said thoughtfully.
Elizabeth heard what they were saying as she passed by and lucky Jack was in the very spot she was heading.
"Why is it that no one but you knows where we're going?" Elizabeth asked approaching him with her arms crossed.
"Cause it's the Captains business." Jack said pointedly.
"It's also the crews; they are the ones handling the ship."
"They will know soon enough." Jack aid waving her off.
"Jack, tell me where are we going!" Elizabeth shouted.
"No." He said stubbornly.
"Why not?" She said getting annoyed.
"There is no need for you to know yet."
"When are you going to tell us? When we get there?"
"Yes." He said flashing his gold teeth.
"Jack, you are so…so." Elizabeth was out of words when she sensed Jack's body leaning closer to hers.
"So what?" Jack whispered softly in her ear causing her to shudder.
Elizabeth regained her senses, "Pig headed." She stormed off, leaving him. She went to her cabin to be alone. When she opened the door, she was shocked, but not at all upset to see Will with his arms wrapped around Isabella's waist as they kissed.
"I'm sorry." Elizabeth said quickly closing the door. She couldn't help but laugh as she leaned against the wall. The door flew open, as both Will and Isabella came out, both apologizing profusely.
"He came in after, I was surprised and…" Isabella explained.
"Isabella…Isabella, you don't have to explain." Elizabeth said smiling. Elizabeth smiled at Will who looked at her nervously.
"I'll…I'll leave." Isabella said nervously as she ran away.
"I'm sorry Elizabeth, I was just talking and it all happened…"
"Will?" Elizabeth said softly trying to hide her smile.
"I'm sorry Elizabeth, please forgive me." Will pleaded nervously. "I was upset about you and Jack, and I think I had a little too much rum."
"Will its fine, I'm not mad." Elizabeth said with a sad smile.
"You're not? But why?"
"Because…because I don't believe we belong together." Elizabeth said quickly.
"What?" Will asked confused.
"When I saw you kissing her, I felt… nothing."
"Absolutely nothing?" Will asked curiously.
"Nothing." Elizabeth shrugged as she meet his eyes.
"Well then…" Will said looking away from her.
"Please don't be mad." Elizabeth pleaded.
"I'm not mad at you. I should've seen this sooner." He said turning back to face her, "You love Jack."
"Why do you keep saying that? I do not." She said frustrated.
Will laughed sadly, "Of course not."
Elizabeth sighed and smiled back at him.
"So…I'll miss you." Will said embracing her.
"We can still be friends though right?" Elizabeth asked hugging him back.
"Always."
They separated and smiled at each other sadly, knowing that this would be the end of their fairy tale romance. Katherine had tears in here eyes from the display. She and Norrington came over, to see what happened, after they saw Isabella running away.
"Why are you crying?" Norrington snarled.
"It's so sad to see couples break up." Katherine said sadly.
"Who bloody cares?" Norrington said leaning on the rail.
"You must have had your heart broken too" Katherine said turning to look at him.
"Well aren't you perceptive." Norrington said annoyed.
"Who was she?" Katherine asked looking at him with curiosity.
He sighed deeply then looked away, "Elizabeth."
"Seriously, is she the only woman where you're from?" Katherine asked smirking.
Norrington laughed heartedly.
"What's so funny?" Jack asked looking at them strangely.
"Ah, her next victim." Norrington whispered loudly to Katherine.
"Who's next victim?"
"I believe he can handle her, don't you think?" Katherine asked Norrington ignoring Jack.
"Are you deaf?" Jack asked angrily.
"I hope someone does." Norrington said taking another swig from his rum.
"What are you two on about?" Jack said grabbing the rum from Norrington. "If you want this back, you better answer me."
"Elizabeth broke off the wedding with Will." Norrington said reaching for the bottle of rum. Jack pulled it away.
"She did?" He asked with interest.
"Yes, now give it back." Norrington said as he snatched it from Jack's hand.
"James, I believe you had enough for tonight." Katherine said taking the rum from his hand and smiling sweetly at him. Jack went to Elizabeth's cabin not bothering to knock on the door.
"Jack! You can't just barge in here, I could have been indecent." Elizabeth yelled.
"I was hoping for that." Jack said smirking.
"What do you want?" Elizabeth asked angrily.
"Is it true you and that eunuch have ended your…"
"Relationship?" Elizabeth said cutting him off.
"Precisely."
"Yes, the wedding's off." Elizabeth said sighing. "Are you happy now?"
"Yes, actually I am."
"Why? Do you enjoy seeing people in misery?" She asked angrily.
"You don't look miserable to me."
"Well…I am." Elizabeth said reassuringly.
"Then why are you smiling?"
"I am not smiling."
"You are."
"Are we done here?"
"No." Jack said moving closer to Elizabeth. "Not quite yet."
"Well, what do you want?" Elizabeth asked looking at him cautiously. He was coming closer with a predatory look in his eyes.
"I think you know what I want Lizzie, and you know you want it too." He said stopping just inches from her. He was right, she did want it too and she was done denying it to herself or anyone else. He looked down at her mouth longingly but made no move to kiss her. "You do want this, don't you Lizzie?"
He was waiting for her permission, Elizabeth realized. Instead of granting it with words, she surprised him and herself, by capturing his mouth with her own, in a long, passionate kiss.
"Elizabeth?" Isabella whispered as she stood gaping at what she saw.
Elizabeth jumped away from Jack and said, "Isabella."
"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt." Isabella said wide eyed looking back and forth from Jack and Elizabeth.
"Well, off you go then." Jack said shooing her away.
"Right, sorry." She said hurrying out of the room.
"Now, where were we?" Jack said moving toward Elizabeth.
"Jack, we should talk about this."
"Talk about what luv?" Jack whispered in her ear as he brushed her hair away.
"About this." Elizabeth said not making any attempts to stop Jack.
"What about this?" Jack asked kissing her neck slowly.
"What is this? Is it simply lust or is it something more?" She said enjoying what he was doing.
"What do you want it to be?" Jack said as he continued kissing her neck.
"Jack, answer my question." Elizabeth said as she stiffened.
Jack stopped and pulled back a little. He stared at her trying to think of what to say when the door opened and Katherine stepped in.
"Oh I'm sorry. Are you two busy?" Katherine asked sheepishly.
"What does it look like?" Jack snapped at her.
"Well then, keep on I will be no bother." Katherine said as she sat on a chair near the door.
"You're bothering, leave." Jack snarled.
"Jack, we should say goodnight." Elizabeth said as she turned his head to hers.
"Right, we should." Jack said turning to Katherine. "Goodnight." He sneered at her grabbing Lizzie's arm and dragging her out of her cabin and toward his.
"That's not what I meant Jack." She said pulling her arm free.
"Then what?" Jack asked.
Elizabeth kissed him lightly on the lips and whispered, "Goodnight."
She walked back to her cabin leaving Jack grinning.
