A New Plan
"Why didn't you catch her?" Elizabeth fumed, glaring at Jack. Jack looked away from Elizabeth to the still unconscious form of Violet.
"I tried to catch her, it all happened real fast and before I knew it she were on the floor again. It's her own stupid fault fer refusin' to stay with ye." Elizabeth huffed, storming away, leaving Jack, Gibbs and Violet in the captain's cabin. Jack sighed.
"How long will it take ta pop her shoulder back in?" He asked. Gibbs shrugged.
"Dislocated shoulders can be tricky. Wouldn't wanna do more damage than's already happened."
"What's that supposed ta mean?"
"It means that if I pop it back in she'll probably not be able to move it fer a while. Or we can make port and get her checked out by a doctor." Jack hung his head. He was not only stuck with the girl but he was caring for her too, giving her his bed and clothes and now making port for a doctor. He shook his head; he would not go to all this trouble for a girl, especially that girl.
"Pop it back in and she'll be fine." He ordered. Gibbs frowned but nodded, stopping as her eyes flicked open.
"Don't ye dare pop anything back in…" I hissed. Gibbs looked from me to Jack.
"She says she don't wan' it popped back in." Jack sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"I heard 'er. Well, jus' hold 'er down." He told Gibbs, sending a less than sympathetic look to me. I glared at him.
"Don't ye dare, Gibbs!" I shouted as he motioned for Jack to come over. Jack did so, leaning down as Gibbs whispered something. I saw Jack nod and then suddenly he climbed on the bed and on top of me, straddling me and effectively pinning me down.
"Sorry, 'bout this, love."
"No yer not." I hissed as Gibbs came towards me. Jack smirked.
"Nah, yer right. Still, last time I had ye in such a position ye were drunk. At least yer gonna remember it this time." I growled at him, struggling to smack him in the mouth. After my failed attempt, I began shouting and cursing.
"This might hurt, lass." Gibbs said, ignoring my shouts. Jack held me still, trying to distract me as Gibbs put his hands on my arms. And I began screaming. Gibbs suddenly jilted my arm, hoping for my shoulder to relocate itself, but no such luck. I was screaming as loud as I could, tears streaming down my face. It hurt like hell!
"Sorry I have ta do this, love." I heard Jack mutter and before I knew it, he had his pistol out.
"Put that away, Sparrow!" I screeched as he took it by the barrel and clubbed me in the head, knocking me out once again.
"Do it now." Jack said, watching as Gibbs tried to click Violet's shoulder back into the proper position.
"I can't. It's a lot 'arder than it looks." Gibbs said, jilting Violet's arm again. Jack sighed, striding over.
"Let me try." He said. Gibbs shook his head, griping Violet's arm tighter.
"Ye'll do more damage than good, Jack! I'm warning ye!" Gibbs said, frowning. Jack shook his head, pulling Violet's arm to himself.
"Nonsense."
"Jack, ye do it and she'll be fillin' up yer bed fer at least another week and an half." Gibbs warned. Jack pulled back.
"Really?"
"Aye, she won't be able to get up." Gibbs lied. Jack nodded, putting his hands up and walking away. He did not want the girl staying in his bed for any longer than necessary, his bed was just that, his! Suddenly Gibbs jilted Violet's arm again. There was a crunching click sound and a high pitched painful scream.
"Ye bloody bastards!" Violet screamed as Jack, joined by Gibbs, held her down.
"Careful, lass, yer shoulder…"
"It's killing me! Make it stop." I moaned, cradling my left arm. Gibbs frowned, shaking his head.
"Sorry, lass, only thing ta do is sling it and wait fer it ta get better now it's back in it's socket." He said, pulling out a large piece of cloth. He used it as a sling to hold up my arm, although it did nothing to stop the pain.
"This is yer bloody fault!" I called over to Jack. He folded his arms.
"It was because ye wouldn't go below deck, bloody stubborn wench!" He argued. I shook my head, letting out a long breath. Jack did the same, storming up to me.
"If ye'd of listened to the captain when he gave an order we wouldn't be in this predicament." He hissed, through gritted teeth.
"Are ye calling me a predicament, Sparrow?" I asked, my tone hard. Jack grinned.
"Course not." He paused. "I was callin' ye a stupid, stubborn, selfish, wench, who is nothin' more than a complication on me way ta getting' tha treasure." He said, missing the flicker of hurt in my eyes, which I quickly averted from his gaze. It hurt when people talked about me as such things; pirate or not I had feelings. As I was sure Jack did. It would just take a little time to find out what his were. And a new plan formed. What made Jack Sparrow tick? Well, not being called 'Captain' for one. Not having any rum, as well. Not being listened to. Referring to the Pearl as a 'boat', or even better a 'floating scrap'. Taking his pistol...and hat. I grinned to myself. Jack Sparrow would regret ever crossing paths with me.
"What ye smirking about?" Gibbs asked curiously. I laughed, flicking a wrist as if to dismiss the matter.
"Nothing of concern, Gibbs, nothing of concern." He raised his eyebrows, looking at me. I looked to Jack.
"So, Sparrow, how far are we from England?" He glared at me.
"That's 'Captain Sparrow'." He corrected pointlessly.
"Oh, sorry 'Captain' Sparrow." I mocked, ignoring the growl of annoyance that escaped Jack.
"Now, how far are we from England?" I asked again, more seriously this time. Jack shrugged.
"Couple o' weeks." He approximated. I almost chocked on my tongue.
"That short a time? Come, come, Sparrow, to get to England on this floating scrap will take longer than that." I remarked. Jack clenched his fists.
"It's 'Captain' Sparrow, 'Captain'." He corrected me again, much to my amusement.He took a step towards me, as if to strike me, yet he didn't.
"And the Pearl is the fastest ship in the Caribbean, Violet." I inwardly cringed at the way he said my name.
'Violet.' He spat it out like dirt, twisting it to sound like an insult. And there, with that, started my crusade to annoy the famous 'Captain' Jack Sparrow.
