Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates. Although to own Jack would be nice. But I do own Bryn Knox and all the ideas that I put into it.
Haha. I tricked some of you. Thinking that the Author's Note was a chapter. The power of an author. I love it.
Thanks to SunSetsFlashOfGreen and CaptainESavvy for their ideas about what should happen to Elizabeth. I really appreciate it.
"I...don't...think she loves me anymore. She...she told me that she wants more adventure and that she can't find the passion and adventure she needs in me. So she wants to find someone else." Will explained.
"Are you serious? Do you know who she had in mind?" I asked.
"Yes I am serious. And I really don't know who she is after. I am scared I am going to lose her." Will cried.
"I will help you get her back, and figure out who it is she wants, but I want you to know that I refuse to talk to her, I am doing this for you and not her." I said.
"Why won't you talk to her?" Will asked and tilted his head to the side.
"Because she drove me crazy when we were younger and I doubt she has changed." I explained.
Will nodded and said, "So we need a plan then. We could like watch her every move and see who she goes for."
"I like it. But can we start tomorrow? I am still feeling a little dizzy."
"Of course." Will said.
I waved at Will and shut the door. I gazed down at my feet and looked up at Jack. He smiled and gestured for me to come over. He patted the bed next to him and smiled. I slowly walked over and sat next to him. He looked at me and tilted his head raising his arms up to hug me. I happily accepted and turned into him. I rested my head on his shoulder and sighed. I was thinking about Will. I feel bad for him. He really liked that piece of crap son of...Sorry. I probably shouldn't be dissing her. Will likes her and I like Will. So I should be happy that he is happy. He loves Elizabeth, and doesn't she love him too? Er. She did until she decided that she wanted more adventure and fun. But isn't Will adventurous? Apparently not enough for her. Retard. Well. Let's just watch her and see who she goes for. If she goes for anyone that is.
Jack let go and leaned back. "You okay love? Ye look really down."
"Yeah. I have just been thinking about Will." I said. Oh that sounded a little weird. I hope Jack gets what I mean.
"What about Will? Why are ye thinkin' 'bout the whelp?" Jack asked really confused. Apparently he didn't get it.
"About him and Elizabeth. Apparently she doubts their relationship and Will is really sad about it. And I feel bad. I wish I could help them. But I know there is nothing that I can do." I explained.
Jack nodded and said, "Well they 'ave 'ad so many problems, I think they will get through this."
I nodded, sighed and looked to the door. Jack looked down at me and held me close to him.
"Don't worry love. Everything will be alright." Jack said.
He was so certain that everything would be alright. But what if it wasn't? What if Elizabeth and Will had a huge fight and never got back together again? I would feel so bad for them. I don't know what I would do. Correction: I would feel so bad for Will, I don't care about Elizabeth. I am still slightly freaked out by her. After all she was a freakishly hyper child. I had been thinking too much. My head started to feel really heavy. I started to feel dizzy again. Please don't let me throw up again. I hate it. I set my hand on my head and just kept it there. I slid it down my face and moaned. It was as if Jack read my mind or something. He lifted me up and set me in the bed. He pulled the warm covers up and set them just underneath my chin. He fluffed the pillows and made sure they were alright. He gazed into my eyes, smiled and placed a light kiss on my lips.
"Goodnight love." He said softly, walked out of the room and closed the door lightly.
.0.0oo.0.o
I woke up the next morning to find Will sitting at the edge of the bed.
"Come on Bryn. Get up. It's late and we need to start now." He said.
"Ugh. Now?" I asked.
Will nodded. I rolled out of bed and grabbed my clothes that were on the chair. I dragged my body into the bathroom and put on my pants, shirt, vest, sash and belt. I brushed my hair and pulled it back into a high ponytail. There were still some strands of hair that fell down, but that was because of the layers. I couldn't do anything about that. I washed my face really quickly. I did not put on any makeup. I am not that kind of girl. I never wear makeup. Never, and there was no way I was ever going to. I walked out of the bathroom and pulled on my boots. Will was sitting on the bed waiting anxiously.
"I am done now Will. We can go now." I said shaking my head.
Will jumped up and smiled. He grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room. He pulled me to the side of the ship and leaned against it. I did the same. I guess we were Elizabeth watching. That sounds like we were watching whales or birds or something. I laughed at the thought of that. Will looked over at me and I just looked down at my feet and bit my lip. OK. Note to self, do not laugh about Elizabeth in front of Will. But it was kind of funny. I couldn't help myself. I started snickering but stopped immediately. Elizabeth came out onto the ship. She looked at Will and quickly looked away. So I guess she really doesn't want to be with him. She walked up to the wheel of the ship and just stood there. She looked out at us. Us being me and Will, it was as if she was giving him death glares or something. She is really mad at him.
I sighed and walked up over to the wheel, but just before I could Jack came out of nowhere and wrapped his arms around me. I mean I love it when he does that, but he always interrupts something important or someone else interrupts. Can there be one time when I can actually do what I want when I want? I guess not. I hugged him back and glanced over at Elizabeth. She had an idea and I had a very good feeling it was something that I wasn't going to like. Her eyebrows were narrowed and her lips were pursed, and she was staring directly at me. What had I done wrong? What did I ever do to her? Is all this because I thought she was an annoying little snob when we were kids? I thought she got over that.
I pushed Jack away from me. He grabbed my hands and tried to pull me back towards him. I shook my head and hit his hands. If Elizabeth was giving me death glares then I had all the right to give them to her. Maybe even punch her. That would stop her from looking at me like I was some freak. I stepped closer to her and she jumped back. Haha. That was classic. I narrowed my eyebrows and my lips widened into a wicked smile. I pushed my sleeves up and breathed heavily. I stepped closer to her and kept pushing my sleeves up for emphasis. I stopped in front of her and cracked my knuckles. Jack had run up after me and pulled me back. I elbowed him in the stomach and went back for Elizabeth. I set my fists up and raised my fist to punch her when Jack caught my hand. He pulled it back and held both my hands behind my back. He dragged me down the stairs and whispered something to Gibbs who happened to pass by at the moment. Gibbs came back with something in his hand. It was a rope. I was being tied somewhere? Jack tied my hands together with the rope and tied me to the mast.
"What's wrong with you Bryn?" Jack asked as he gestured with his hands.
"Nothing." I mumbled.
"You were never like this."
"Yes I was. After I was sent away by Governor Swann to go and live with my aunt. I don't know. I changed. I became one of those street fighter girls. I have a short temper. You know that part. And besides Elizabeth deserved that punch for all the pain she caused me." I explained while trying to free myself from these ropes.
"Still, it is not right to punch someone." Jack said calmly.
"I didn't punch her!" I yelled.
"But you were going to."
"GOING TO, NEVER ACTUALLY DID!" I shouted.
"Calm down Bryn. I am not getting mad at you." Jack said still incredibly calm.
"NO! I will not calm down. Release me before I shoot you."
"You would never do that Bryn. You are not like that."
"OH! JUST WATCH ME!" I yelled.
I had freed myself from the ropes. This is the kind of skill that I developed hanging with my street fighter friends. It takes lots of looping the rope through the right holes and pulling at the right place. I stood up and pulled my gun out of its case and loaded the gun. I pointed it right at Jack's head.
"I told you." I said calmly.
"You wouldn't dare pull that trigger." Jack said breathing heavily.
"As I said before, just watch me." I said as I pulled the trigger.
Nothing happened. I pulled it again and again. I took the gun away from Jack's head and pulled it again but this time facing it at the bottom of the boat. And yet again, it wasn't working. Great! My stupid gun is jammed.
"Oh me, your gun seems to be jammed Miss Knox." Jack said, using my last name.
"Yes it does, Mister Sparrow." I said.
"It's Captain Sparrow to you missy." Jack said.
"Whatever Mister Sparrow." I said as I slapped Jack across the face.
"Miss Knox, what has gotten into you? You were so calm a minute ago, and now you're attempting to kill me?"
"I…I…well…you know that I… have a short temper… I am sorry…I…I…didn't mean to." I stuttered.
"Well. I don't forgive you Miss Knox. You tried to KILL me!" Jack said emphasizing the kill.
I reached for his hand and he just pulled away. I put my hand on his chest to grab his shirt so I could pull him closer. He slapped my hand away and waltzed up to the wheel.
"On deck you scabber's dogs! We must set sail now." Jack shouted.
Gibbs came up behind Jack. "Where be our headin' Cap'n?" Gibbs asked.
"Tortuga, we need to drop little Miss Knox off." Jack said under his breath.
Tortuga… He was dropping me off at Tortuga. No! I ran into down below deck to find Will sitting on a hammock.
"What's wrong Will?" I asked and sat down next to him.
"It's Elizabeth. I think its Jack that she wants." Will said.
"And I think Jack wants her too. Why else would he tie me to the mast if he wasn't trying to protect Elizabeth from getting punched in the nose?" I said and asked.
We sighed, turned to each other and smiled. We had a plan. And no I am not going to tell you what it is. Because that would be called cheating, and I am no cheater. You will find all that out when we actually attempt to put this plan into motion. We both waltzed up onto deck and sat down on the deck near the front of the boat. Will scooted closer to me and placed his hand on top of mine. I smiled and looked deep into his eyes. He has gorgeous chocolate brown eyes too. Both he and Jack had gorgeous eyes. Will looked deep into mine. My eyes were not that spectacular, their sky blue colour. Everyone always said they went well with my dark chocolate brown hair. I guess.
Will started talking. I am not sure as to what he was specifically talking about but we were trying to make it look as if we were deep in conversation. That was part of the plan. It was just part. We were going to try and see if we could make either of them jealous. I turned my body around, as did Will. This was slightly easier. Now we could watch them, and their expressions. I glanced up at the wheel to find Jack leaning on it. He was looking directly at me. He looked as if he was going to cry. Had I done that to him? No. I couldn't have. Jack doesn't cry. Well he did when I moved. But he was a little kid then. He was just a mere 12 year old. And now. He is much older. I wanted so badly to get up and go apologize to him. AGAIN. I tried so hard before. I don't apologize and when I do, it's hard and I mean it. He wouldn't even look me in the eye when I was trying to apologize. I was just about to get up when Will pulled my hand down and gestured to the wheel. I sat back down to watch the action. Elizabeth had appeared out from somewhere and stood behind Jack.
"Jack. Let's not go to Tortuga. Let's tell someone to steer the ship out into the open sea. We should go below deck and have some fun." Elizabeth sneered.
"Will! Did you hear what she just said? Do you expect me to just sit her while she seduces him?" I asked impatiently and jumped up.
Will grabbed my hand again and said, "Yes. You must. This is the only way that this will work."
Jack looked back at Elizabeth and then back towards me.
"No. I can't. It would break her heart. I know she still loves me. Soon she won't be able to resist. GIBBS! BRING ME SOME RUM! I WANT MY RUM!!" Jack shouted.
Gibbs appeared with a bottle of rum.
"Thank you. Now we set sail. To…" Jack took a sip of rum and continued, "Tortuga. I need me some wenches."
He took another swig of rum and spoke again, "Since my lovely lady doesn't want me anymore!"
I do too! More than he realizes. Will was getting on my last nerve. He wasn't letting me go up and change it.
"Bryn. Stop. You can't. You have to make him chase you. You have to make him realize that you are not falling all over him. The more he sees that you are falling, the more he will lie to you, tease you and sleep with other women just so he can see you suffer. This is not the Bryn I know. The Bryn I know would never go after a guy. She would shrug her shoulders and say 'Psh. This is just some other guy that I 'liked'. He deserves it anyway for treating me like that." Will said and imitated me.
That was about the longest speech I have ever heard Will make. But he was completely right. I wasn't like that. Until I met Jack… I don't know what has gotten into me. Its al his fault. No. Bryn. You have to stop thinking like that. Remember who you are.
"Hey! I do not sound like that." I teased and playfully punched him.
"Yes you do. He deserves it." Will said mocking me.
"Ahh. I love Elizabeth. Ooh. She is so wonderful." I said mocking him this time.
"Oh you did not just do that?" Will asked shaking his head and smiling.
"Maybe I did." I replied.
Will started tickling me. Geez! What is it with men and tickling me? I giggled and started poking him too. Haha. He is ticklish too. We were both rolling on the floor laughing, poking each other. I have to admit it was pretty fun. This reminds me of me and Jack. We used to do this all the time. Except it would be in a grass field by his house. Oh the memories. The memories that will always last forever. Things I will never forget. No matter what goes on between me and Jack? Right?
"Are they…what are they doing?" Jack asked Elizabeth.
"I don't know. And I don't care. All I care about is me and you." Elizabeth said seductively as he put her hand on Jack's chest. She slid it down his body and was about to slide it back up, but underneath his shirt this time.
Aha! Is it a cliff hanger or is it not? What is Jack's reaction to all this? Ooh.
Mk. What is Jack thinking??
Jack: She is seducing me? You are a strange person Tash.
Captain Tash: Its CAPTAIN Tash. And I am the author I can do what I want and there is nothing you can do about it.
Jack: Oh yeah? I can just tickle you.
Captain Tash: No no no! OK OK. Just wait till the next chapter and you will see.
Haha. Please review. Just press the little button that says go.
