The next day the whole crew wanted to send Misty to Davey Jones locker, Tessi was amused by her sister, Elizabeth ignored it, Jack encouraged it, and Will fretted about it.
Misty had gone into a cleaning spree, she was scrubbing the deck, the kitchens, the walls, the cabins, and she had even gone as far as to want to clean the crew's clothes.
That's where Jack drew the line. "Misty," he had began as he steered the ship, to wherever they were going. "Is there something wrong?" He asked, wondering if there was, since Misty seemed to be going insane. It was starting to worry Jack.
Misty looked up from scrubbing the deck, her eyes squinting in the sun, "No, why do you ask?" She asked weakly.
Jack looked down at her with a look that clearly said, 'don't play stupid.' She continued to stare at him, and he sighed heavily, "Does it have anything to do with that there red mark on your face?" He asked.
Misty frowned, "its sunburn." She replied standing up and picking up the bucket of water and walking away, not giving Jack a chance to interrogate her further. She really wished people would just leave her alone about it, and stay away. She cursed Nicholas for leaving the mark on her, everyone gawked at her.
She was still fuming mad at him, and refused to go back into the cabin with him. She felt like crying again, but she refrained from doing so, she had already embarrassed herself once, doing it in front of Will, she wasn't about to do it again.
She made her way towards Will's cabin when she bumped into Nicholas, who looked down at her. He grinned slightly which only angered her more.
She glared at him and pushed passed him, "Aw, come on Misty, you're not still mad at me, are you?" He asked pouting at her with puppy eyes.
She knew how these men worked, abuse you and then sucker you back into the relationship. Misty was slightly afraid of him, she didn't say anything and continued to walk down the deck, ignoring him.
He reached out and grabbed her arm, causing her to gasp in surprise and slosh water across the deck and her pants. She sighed heavily as he said, "I'm sorry." He said looking at her, giving her the saddest face ever.
He knew she'd cave in. Misty was far too nice, to push him away. Misty was a push over at times, he needed her to stay with him, and believe he was trustworthy, it'd be ruined otherwise.
She sighed, "Just go away," she said sounding weary trying to pull away from him.
"Misty, I love you, you know that. You just made me angry, if you hadn't made me so angry, it wouldn't have happened." He said condescendingly.
She swallowed hard, not making eye contact with him, "A woman has her place, and that's just how it is. You just have to learn that. Any man would have done the exact same thing." He continued.
Misty swallowed hard on the brink of tears, as he continued to talk, "I love you." He said putting his hand under her chin and lifting her face to meet his. His lips then crashed down onto hers and Misty let it happen, she felt disgusted for some reason.
She felt no better then a common prostitute, for some reason. It just didn't feel right for some reason. He pulled away and grinned kissing her on her cheek, "I knew you'd understand." He said towards her nod, with that he walked away towards his cabin. Misty stood in the same spot for a long time, and had the urge to spit over the deck or find some water to clean her mouth.
Come on Misty, you're being dramatic, he hit you once. So, what? He said he was sorry.
I know, but I have a bad feeling about him.
You're just doing what you always do, which is over analyzing things, he loves you, so don't be so stupid to push him away.
Misty stopped her train of thought, and walked into Will's room to clean the floors, Will was sitting on his bed sharpening his sword, and looked up, surprised. "Misty," he said frowning looking at the bucket of water.
Misty smiled innocently, "Yes, dear William?" She asked fluttering her eyelashes flatteringly.
His frown only deepened, "Stop cleaning," he said huffing, "it's driving me nuts." He said.
Misty got down on her knees and dipped the rag in the water, "I thought this was a woman's place, I thought this was what men wanted." She grumbled to herself scrubbing the floor roughly.
Will heard part of it, "Who said that to you?" He asked watching in amusement as she abused the poor floor.
Misty's eyes got large realizing she had said it out loud, "No one." She said quickly.
Will sighed, "Nicholas, huh? Ignore him." Will said masking his anger; he'd deal with it later. "You've been scrubbing that one spot forever you know." He pointed out grinning.
Misty stopped and then sat up on her knees and laughed, "I meant to do it." She replied.
Will raised an eyebrow, "No, you didn't, you've been on a cleaning spree all day." He said sighing.
Misty shrugged, "I do this all the time when I get stressed. Father used to hate it, because I'd do the maids work, and one time I tried to clean out the fireplace, like Mr. Wanton did, well, it didn't turn out very well." She laughed at the memory.
"Oh?" Will asked.
"Oh, no, it was dreadful! I nearly had my whole body inside and I stuck this broom thing up the fireplace, which I think is the flu, and all this dirt and soot came down on my face, and on my brand new dress; that cost my Father a fortune.
"Anyway, Father came around the corner hearing my squeal, just as I poked my head out of the fireplace. I looked horrible. All you could see on my face was my lips and eyes, the rest was all pitch black, and my dress, the soot was embedded in the flower patterns, so it looked like I had black roses all over my, once pure white dress." She laughed.
Will's eyes were large, "What'd he say, when he saw you?" he asked casually sharpening his sword, with his legs crossed; Misty mentally noted it looked like a woman.
"At first he just stared at me in shock, then he got enraged, and asked what on earth I was thinking, and normal rich girls didn't do chores; and why couldn't I just go read or go shopping, rather then trying to do servants work.
"He pulled me out of there by my ear and I still remember that disgusted look on his face. He said, "Misty, you're grounded." And I was thinking, 'I'm grounded for doing housework?'" Misty laughed.
Will lost it, "If only I could have seen, what you looked like! Where was Tessi?" He asked.
Misty shrugged, "I think she was in the library, she always did love to read." Misty said going back to scrubbing the floor. "There was also the time I stalked Mr. Wanton." She said.
Will's eyebrows raised, "Stalked?" He asked curious, he stopped sharpening his sword and leaned forward, "STALKED?" He repeated.
Misty nodded and laughed, "Yeah, I was only six and Tessi was sick, I was bored, so I tried getting him to do things with me. I somehow got him to play tea-party with me and wear a pink apron. It was so cute on him." Misty said, Will snorted at the thought of a man wearing a pink apron.
"Yes, I should say I'd always given him trouble, like when I was 1, and it was Christmas time I would try and eat the Christmas bows of the presents, or I'd try and eat the tree branches. I hear I was quite a handful; he was always taking me away from something.
"Like the time Tessi and I played Pirates, we wanted real swords, and our Father has some, just for show, and somehow we got a hold of them, and Mr. Wanton had to chase us around the house with them. We told him he was a bad pirate, and that he needed to get his own sword to fight us." She said.
Will was laughing, "Did your Father catch you?" He asked.
Misty sighed heavily; "Yes, we paid for running around with swords, um," Misty said going back to scrubbing one spot, "I accidentally ran into Father's leg…with the sword. Almost got a nasty infection." Misty replied trying to mask her amusement.
"Oooh," Will said curling his nose, "Needless to say, you were punished?" Will asked.
"Yep, we both got a whipping." She replied, "Ah, good times, good times." She said standing up with a faraway look on her face.
Will chuckled, "Well, I have some…something to attend to," Will said shifty-eyed, "I'll see you later." He said laying his sword on the bed, walking out and then closing the door behind him.
Misty started humming some demented unidentifiable tune, as she continued to clean up Will's cabin, which by the way was a pit. He had clothes everywhere, some were dirty, some were clean, which ones where which, Misty didn't know.
He had a bunch of maps and other tools laying around, and his bed was not made, and the sheets were coming off, as if he had been tossing and turning all night. She sighed seeing her work was cut out for her.
Tessi knew this was how Misty got when stressed or when things weren't going well, she spent her time cleaning, and becoming very obsessive compulsive. Tessi learned that it was better just to let Misty clean and do whatever she wanted, because that way it passed by quicker, and no one would loose a head.
Will walked out onto the Deck, looking around for Nicholas. He had been angry at Nicholas since he found out what he had done to Misty. It had just been building up over time. Tessi, Misty and Elizabeth were like little sisters to Will, and he would protect and defend them always.
He knew he needed to do this to get rid of his anger. He had originally only thought to talk to Nicholas, originally being the key word.
He found Nicholas on the deck looking out at the sea, Will took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and so he wouldn't say something stupid, like he normally did.
"Nicholas," Will said stiffly, to get the other mans attention, Nicholas turned around and smiled, but it soon turned to a frown when he saw Will's stern look.
"Mr. Turner, how good to see you." Nicholas said offering another smile; the other man didn't budge on his frown.
"Nicholas, I really don't like what you did to Misty." Will began cutting to the chase.
Nicholas scoffed, "It's just a small mark." He rolled her eyes.
Will glared, "No, it's not just a mark, you hit her. It shouldn't have happened; I also hear you had your hands around her neck, what the hell were you thinking?" Will asked, actually using a swear word, which sounded odd. So odd Nicholas almost laughed, but he figured it wouldn't be a good idea to laugh right now.
"So, she told you? Well, did she also inform you, she hit me, first?" He asked.
Will nodded, "She did, but only because she felt cornered." Will replied.
Nicholas snorted and rolled his eyes, "That's a double standard! She can hit me, but I can't hit her?" He asked.
"No one should have hit anyone, but you started it by screaming at her, and making her feel unsafe, she had every right to, a man should never hit a woman." Will said his temper flaring.
Nicholas glared, "You call yourself a man? A real man has control of his woman; you can't even get the guts to talk to Anamaria. I can't believe your defending her; she's the one that started interrogating me." Nicholas spat.
"I don't care what the reason was," Will said raising his voice, "You had no right, don't let it happen again, or else."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm warning you," Will replied.
"No, I think that was a threat," Nicholas said stepping forward and shoving Will slightly.
Will growled and shoved him back, "Are you up to something, what do you have to be so defensive for?" Will asked.
"Nothing!" Nicholas replied, "Misty is mine, and what I do with her his my business, stay out of it, Turner!" Nicholas yelled shoving his fist towards Will and hitting him square in the jaw.
Will growled barely even feeling it; he walked forward and with all his might punched Nicholas right in the eye. Nicholas saw stars and stumbled back leaning against the side of the ship, holding his eye.
Misty having heard commotion outside ran out of Will's cabin, wondering what the hell was going on, once she got out there she saw Will breathing heavily with a raged look on his face and Nicholas holding onto the side of the ship holding his eye.
Misty stormed forward, "William Turner!" She cried out, coming at him at mach one.
Will turned around, "Yes?" He asked, none to ashamed at what he had done. He was proud.
Jack had seen from a distance and felt his chest swell with pride, "That's Bootstraps son!" He said proudly, "My boy is growing up." Jack said taking his hat off and putting it against his chest, "William Turner finally becomes a man, Bootstrap Jr.!" Jack said proudly, although he was still confused as to why Will punched Nicholas out, he made a mental note to ask Tessi later.
"Jack, if that's Bootstraps son, how is he your boy?" Tessi asked smacking the side of his arm, Jack only grinned.
Misty glared, "What the hell, Will Turner?" She asked pointing to Nicholas who seemed to be cowering in pain.
Will shrugged, "He deserved what he got, hitting you, and saying those things." Will replied.
Misty scoffed, "I can take care of myself, and you just can't go around hitting, people!" Part of Misty was proud at what Will had done, but the other part of her was worried, Nicholas would take his anger out on her, since Will was her best friend.
He'd probably say Misty set Will up to hit him.
Will glared, "Obviously you can't, when you come running to me crying." Will replied.
"I didn't go running to you, in fact I tried to hide it from you, excuse me for being emotional, I won't run to you anymore then." She replied.
Will sighed, "That's not what I meant, it's okay to rely on someone else, but don't put words in my mouth. I never said you were being emotional." He said.
Misty didn't really know why she was so angry, but she was, whether it was at Will, Nicholas, the whole situation with her Mother, or just her suspicious, and uncomfortable feelings. She just felt angry, and scared and very anxious.
"Apologize to Nicholas." Misty said crossing her arms.
"No." Will said, "I'm not going to apologize to that bastard, I'm not sorry for what I did." He replied.
Misty stared him down for several minutes and when she couldn't take Nicholas' whining and moaning anymore she huffed and walked over towards him annoyed like. She grabbed his arm, "Come on." She said roughly dragging Nicholas to his cabin.
He followed and every chance he got he downed Will, "what a bastard" or "good for nothing kid" were some of the things he said. Once they got to the cabin, Misty thrust open the door and shoved Nicholas onto the bed.
Nicholas grinned a little, ignoring her scowl, and as she walked by to grab a wet cloth from the water basin, he grabbed onto her shirt tugging on it. "Stop it." She said slapping his hand away.
He sighed and she grabbed the rag and walked over placing the cold rag on his eye, "Ow!" He moaned.
Misty rolled her eyes, "You're in the Navy for God Sakes, stop bitching at a little black eye." She replied harshly applying pressure just to cause him pain.
She was feeling a little daring even if she knew; he could blow his gasket and take her out easily. "Thanks for sticking up for me." He said.
She scoffed having him hold the rag on his eye, on his own, "Don't. Just don't. I didn't do it for you. I did it because I think we've had enough fights on this ship in this past month." She said placing her hands on her hips. "I didn't think we needed another one." She finished.
He looked over, "Are you saying, you don't think what he did was wrong?" He asked.
Misty sighed wearily, "Nicholas, please, don't start." She said walking towards the door.
He grabbed her shirt, "I'm sorry." He said pulling her onto his lap and placing her arms around his neck, he placed kisses on her neck, Misty just let him do it and when he started to get annoyed he was getting no reaction she faked it. This seemed to excite him more, she felt so disgusted.
The door burst open, and Jack was standing there, he grinned, "Well, sorry for interrupting, I'll leave you two love birds alone." He said.
"Wait-" She went to tell Jack to get her out of there, but he only winked and shut the door, Misty's heart sank.
Nicholas started to caress her, but this is when Misty pulled away, "Please, I'm…I'm just not ready." She said standing up, there was no way in hell she was going to tell him she was afraid of him, and because of this she didn't want him kissing her.
He leaned back on the bed and pulled her on with him, "Okay, we'll just lay together then." He said, Misty felt trapped, she wanted nothing more then to run for that door, and get the hell out of there.
Now she wanted Will to come in and punch him. Now she wished she had just let Nicholas stand in agony.
About an hour later Nicholas had fallen asleep, Misty slowly removed herself from him, since he had a loose hold on her, and she stepped out of the cabin and found it was nightfall already.
"Oy," She said to herself, "its times like this I wonder why I like men, and maybe it'd be safer to like women." She muttered to herself.
Misty heard a snigger, "Well – I certainly didn't know you swung that way." Misty turned and saw Tessi grinning.
"Jack says you and Nicholas, got intimate." Tessi said.
Misty's head whipped around towards Tessi again, "God, we didn't not, he's such a damn pervert." Misty growled.
Tessi nodded, "I figured Jack was lying." She replied.
Misty looked over and nudged her sister playfully, "So, you and Jack and item?" She asked grinning.
Tessi smiled softly messing around with her dark hair, "Yes." Tessi said, Misty wasn't looking at her, but she could hear the grin in her voice.
"That's great – remember when we were kids?" Misty asked.
"Duh, Misty, everyone does." Tessi replied teasing her sister.
Misty rolled her eyes, but was slightly happy her and Tessi were talking again like they used to. "Yeah – and we said we'd meet some dashing pirate, who would sweep us on our feet, and treat us like the princess' we were?" Misty asked.
Tessi laughed, "That sure didn't happen. Jack isn't exactly prince charming." Tessi joked.
"Definitely not! He is dashing though, so you got that part." Misty said leaning against the side of the ship.
Tessi nodded, "We also used to say we'd go on adventures, and we'd get gold and drink rum, and sail the seven seas, with Mr. Wanton." Tessi laughed.
"Yeah – we wanted to take him everywhere with us, he was so much fun. Remember the time he took us shopping and then afterwards he took us to that small diner for lunch? That was so much fun." Misty said reminiscently.
Tessi nodded, "Yup – we dragged him everywhere. He was going to be a pirate with us, our first mate. He always said, "girls you'd made excellent pirates – I'd be honored to be the Swann Sister's first mate" he always encouraged our dreams even if they were silly. I miss him." Tessi replied.
Misty nodded, "It was sad when he died, I cried for days afterwards." Misty said. "You know, we haven't talked like this in a long time."
Tessi nodded, "I know, it's nice. We used to have long talks all the time."
"Yeah, and then we met Jack Sparrow and Will Turner, and you found out about mum…things seemed to change too fast for us." Misty replied.
"I know – do you think we'll find Mum?" Tessi asked.
Misty looked over at her sister, "I don't know – I want to. There's so many things I want to ask her." Misty replied.
Tessi nodded, and went to say something more, when both girls felt an arm on their shoulders, Jack walked between them and then hugged the girls towards him. Rum was strong in his breath, and he was holding a rum bottle in his hand, Misty raised an eyebrow and said, "Jack, you have really stinky breath." She said.
"Loves," Jack said more drunkenly then usual, "I want you to know, that I can have bad breath because, I am –"
"WE KNOW, YOU'RE CAPTIAN JACK SPARROW!" Tessi and Misty said at the same time, giving Jack hits upside the back of his head.
He grinned, "Tha's right loves," He slurred, "And your sex slave." He said staggering a little, causing the girls to stumble with his arms still firmly around them.
Tessi glared, "Jack, don't a pervert!" She said, smacking his arm.
He let go of both girls and said, "Of course I'm a pervert loves, I'm-"
Misty sighed, "Captain. Jack. Sparrow. WE. BLOODY. KNOW." She said slowly, causing Tessi to laugh at her sister's frustration.
Jack sighed, "Nothing better then watching the stars with two…" Jack stopped for a moment in thought as if he had forgotten what he wanted to say, obviously he had had more Rum then usual. "Ladies." He finally said after a few moments.
The girls sighed and looked out at the sea, with their Rum Drunken Captain, and for a while, both girls felt like everything would be okay, just because Jack was around. Tessi leaned against Jack but Misty didn't.
"Can I join you three?" Came an amused voice.
All three looked over to see Elizabeth. Misty grinned feeling hyper all of a sudden, "ELIZABETH, I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU ALL DAY!" She said and ran over giving her an obnoxious hug.
Tessi rolled her eyes, "Don't suffocate her, Misty!" Tessi called, seeing as Elizabeth was shorter then Misty and Misty was holding Elizabeth's head against her chest.
"I'm not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!" Tessi said grinning, she was feeling stubborn all of a sudden.
Misty glared letting go of her sister and went over to continue to childish argument with her twin. Elizabeth grinned, it finally seemed like it was somewhat back to normal.
"Ha! I'm more stubborn then you!" Tessi cried happily, and did a crazy little jig on the deck.
"Shut up." Misty replied, annoyed at her sister's gloating.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the girls, and Jack, the Royal Navy was tracking them down, but for the now they were blissfully ignorant.
