Chapter Seven: The Fun Is Over
James Norringhton put his small black compass back into the folds of his jacket pocket. He looked at the small black dot in confusment, gripping his sword for comfort.
The cold misty wind brushed across his cheek as the fog cleared up slightly. Then the black dot became more visible, although now it didn't like a dot at all. It seemed more like a…It's the black pearl! Thought James happily that he would finally be able to save his sister.
"Gentleman! Full speed ahead, we've found our destination." He hollered out with excitement and revenge edged into his voice.
"Jack Sparrow I will get my revenge, even if it's the last thing I do." He whispered out under his breath as they came closer and closer towards the ship.
Christine scrubbed the deck more as she rinsed her dirty rag into the bucket. Then as she was about to scrub more she got interrupted as Jack began to holler out orders.
"Listen up mates," he started. "We'd be needing a change of heading."
"What do you have in mind Captain?" asked Gibbs curiously anticipating the new adventure.
"Port Royal." He said simply.
Gibbs's excitement dropped and Christine didn't blame him, Port Royal wasn't exactly the most exciting place on earth. Especially for pirates.
"Jack, won't you get caught?" asked Christine.
"No. You will love." He said pointing to her.
"Excuse me?' She asked taken aback as she stood up.
Jack started to walk closer to her as the crew continued their work.
"You see love, we'll be making our way towards Port Royal. I never said that we would be docking there."
Christine looked at him puzzled.
"I don't quite understand-"
"You'll be making your way back by your lonesome in the side boat." He said cutting her off. "Understand?" He added, seeing her confused face.
"No," she responded barely in a whisper.
"What do 'ye mean love? It's simple! All 'ye have to do is,"
"I understand that part Jack, what I don't understand is how you seem so carefree as to let me go!" She shouted and then left towards the cabin.
Jack followed her through and shut the door behind them.
"Love listen,"
"No you listen! We have great times together, and probably the best kiss that I have ever experienced and you just shrug it off!" Christine hollered as she looked at him with tear-rimmed eyes.
"I thought you where different…" She said barely audible. "My brother was right, you truly are despicable and you never truly will care for someone else will you Jack?"
Christine then extended her hand and slapped him firmly across the cheek.
"I may have deserved that one." Mumbled Jack under his breath as he looked at her with sad eyes.
True, he had been slapped many times before, hundreds probably, but Jack really liked Christine. When she slapped him he felt almost guilty and…sad?
"Please listen to me Christy." He pleaded.
"My name is not Christy nor is it love, it's Christine." She normally wouldn't mind him calling her Christy, but not now, she was too angry.
Jack walked closer to her and placed his hands on both sides of her shoulders, causing her to look up at him with a parted mouth and tear rimmed eyes.
"I docare, Christine, it's just that I have a tendency to keep my emotions inside. It's just who I am love."
"Well…" said Christine after a moment of silence. She then cleared her throat as she made her decision. She lifted her hand to whip a tear from her eyes as what she was about to say shocked her. "As much as I loved this adventure Jack…I can't. We can't. I don't ever want to see you again." She forced herself to say as she chocked on the last eight words.
Jack nodded slowly and then reached his hand into his pocket and then pulled out an opal necklace.
"This was my mother's. She gave it to me before she dies. Said she wanted me to give it to the girl I loved most." Jack looked at her then added. "Even if she doesn't love me back." Jack reached out the necklace and slowly placed it around her neck. It shocked him how he changed the subject so quickly. But if she was going to leave he at least wanted her to know.
"Jack…" she whispered. Christine then found herself forgetting everything. The fight, their words. All she wanted to do was kiss him and tell them that she loved him. Almost like the world didn't exist anymore and that it was just them.
Without thinking about what drama this could bring in the future, Christine took a step forward and placed her lips firmly on his. Jack deepened the kiss and pushed her forward as they landed on the bed and continued to kiss. Christine reached out her hands to pull off his jacket.
And at that moment neither of them where aware that they would be getting a visit tomorrow morning from James Norrington.
The next morning Jack and Christine where in each other's arms in there bare skin. The sun started to rise and they where still fast asleep.
But that soon changed as the sound of gunshots and footsteps awoke them. Without a word Jack and Christine climbed out of bed and put their clothes on. When they where done they rushed up on deck hand in hand to see what was all the commotion.
Jack tightened his grip around her hand as they reached the deck and saw about two dozen navy men lined in perfect rows with guns in there hands and James Norrington standing in front of them.
James's eyes scanned the crowed to find Christine and Jack coming up on deck together holding hands. He must have dragged her up here. He presumed.
"Christine. Thank god your safe." He said as he looked at her in the eyes.
"Why wouldn't I be safe?" asked Christine wondering what this commotion was all about.
"You got kidnapped. Don't you remember?"
Christine was about to shake her head but then she remembered how she had ran away without a note. She had gotten so used to being here that she had almost forgotten.
Poor James, he thought that Jack must have kidnapped me. She thought.
"Gillette, arrest this man." He said boldly as a man came and wrapped cuffs around Jack's wrist.
"James, what are you doing?" protested Christine.
James looked at her strangely that she would even care.
"It's time I put this man's selfish bad deeds to an end Christine." He said. "Come, let's go home." He said as he grabbed her wrist.
As James pulled her forward Christine turned her head to look at Jack for backup, but it was too late they had already dragged him away to a separate navy ship opposed to the one where she was being taken.
"Jack…" She whispered under her breathe as she let all her guards down and stepped onto the other boat.
