Hello! Sorry if there is a lot of grammar mistakes again. I'm posting right before I go to school so yep. Thanks a million for reviews! I know all of you want to read this chapter! ;) Without further ado, read :)
"Care to tell what earlier was about?" Norrington asked out of the shadows.
"What?" Christie groaned while rubbing her temples.
"Hmm… you were drinking rum. Does that ring a bell?" Norrington replied with his eyes furrowed in thought.
"Oh god… what did I do?" Christie said aloud wondering what occurred since she became drunk.
"You passed out so I decided to watch over you." He filled in her blanks.
"Did I do anything stupid?" she mumbled quietly before getting off the bed.
"You were using pirate slang." Norrington watched her face change her expression to a face showing she was mad at herself.
"I should have never trusted Jack…" she grumbled softly before she realized she said it out loud causing Norrington to jump up.
"What did you say?" Norrington asked checking to see if he heard clear.
"I mean never mind." She lied nervously.
"You said Jack. Finish it." Norrington forcefully said as his face speculated her.
"I meant Jack… Stiles. He's a distant cousin's cousin twice removed." Christie blurted out hoping he would take that answer as sufficient.
" Oh…" Norrington sighed knowing that it wasn't a certain pirate he loathed to death.
"Of course." Christie answered but was truly angry at his rudeness. "Thank you for taking care of me but I believe I was just fine out there." She responded coldly and walked to the door.
"I apologize for my rudeness." Norrington apologized hoping she would come back.
"There is no need for an apology Mr. Norrington. Good day." She retorted aloofly before dashing out of the house. Norrington watched her through the window walk away. He relaxed back becoming assuaged since she was gone. He tried to impress her but the only thing he did was displease her. His one and only wish would be to have her as his but the only two things that were in his way, Thomas Smith, her fiancé, and his own stupidity. Something about Thomas Smith didn't sit right with him, and he was going to find out at the Turner's wedding.
"Jack Sparrow!" Christie hollered banging her fist on the door. "Open up right now!"
Jack on the other side was grinning hoping to see a feisty angry Christie. He strode to the door while pulling it open to have her hand land on his chest. "'Ello, luv. I see ye couldn't resist me." Jack smirked at her appalled face and thought she looked appealing and tasty when she was angry. He watched as she recoiled her hand in disgust.
"You despicable man!" she shouted at him, which made his grin grow twice the size. "How dare you trick me into drinking rum! Leaving me to end up in a complete stranger's house!" she slapped Jack causing his grin to slide off his face.
"Jeez! Will ye stop slapping me, woman!" Jack whined while turning his stinging face to look at her.
"You deserved it! I thought I could forgive you but I guess not, you never deserved one in the first place!" she screamed at him in fury.
"Christie, what is going on?" Elizabeth stood right next to her confused by the commotion.
"Jack got me to drink rum and left me to end up in Norrington's bed!" Christie glared maliciously at Jack. Jack just smirked at her causing her face to grow more ferocious.
"Ye slept with Norrington?" Jack asked as his smirk disappeared into his jaw dropping down in shock. He felt begrudge and immediately wanted to choke Norrington.
"NO! You disgusting pirate!" she hissed before swinging her arm at his face. Jack's quick reflexes caught her arm, making her arm tremble with hate, wanting to kill him. Her other arm swung up, but again, Jack snatched it.
"Now, luv… I know ye might be angry but ye drank tha rum. So whose fault really is it?" Jack clandestinely replied.
Christie jumped up trying to kick him because her arms were being held captive. "I hope you die." She glared at him with fierce hate.
"Sticks and stones, luv." Jack smirked at how he could annoy her.
"I'm going to k-," Christie threatened before she was fractiously sojourned.
"Jack and Christie stop fighting please." Elizabeth pleaded while cutting in between the two's quarrel. "It's going to cause chaos in here."
"But…." Christie and Jack said at the same time making Christie stick her tongue out at him and Jack to still keep the silly grin on his face.
"I know Jack left you there but you shouldn't trust Jack in the first place." Elizabeth smiled watching Jack huff angrily.
"Fine." Christie answered, as it was her turn to grin. "I believe this fight is over with so I'll continue on my way." She said before walking off.
"Jack, I know you fancy her that's why you try to annoy her." Elizabeth smirked at his face. "If you really want her to fancy you, you shouldn't be too obnoxious to her."
"I don't fancy her, alrigh'!" Jack stomped his foot furiously but childishly. "Now stop saying I do 'cause I don't!"
"You keep denying it Jack but one day you will realize you denied it to yourself and by then she would be off somewhere else." Elizabeth truthfully responded to his tantrum.
Jack stomped away snappily down the stairs, going the same direction as Christie went. Turning the corner, he bumped into someone that was wearing a navy suit causing the man to fall down. Recognizing it as James Norrington, he ran away to another room hiding underneath the desk.
Norrington stood up and spun around to face nothing but thin air. He shrugged it off and continued to wait there for one of the Turners to show up.
Christie hid behind the wall spying secretly on Norrington and why he was in the house.
James felt some type of stare and turned his head to the side to see a flash of gold hair that wasn't Elizabeth's disappear behind the wall.
Christie pressed her back flat against the wall, her heart thudding loudly in her ears. She was listening for footsteps that would tell if he was coming forward.
James quietly walked closer to the room, trying not to scare away whatever it was but accidentally stepped one foot to loud.
Christie took it as the signal to run. She ran to the other room slamming the door shut, blocking it with a chair.
James heard it running and chased the direction of the noise. It led up to a door that was shut tight. Pressing his ears against it to listen if anything was in there.
Christie spun around to see an empty room that was set up like an office. She slowly walked around the room as her heart dissipated its fast rate.
She stood there quietly staring at the door as if someone was going to break it down. A shadow crept up to her while pulling her flush against its body and breathing on her neck. She let out a small shriek, but used her own hand to cover her mouth. She turned her head around to see it was Jack. "Don't do that Jack." She whispered quietly. "You scared me. Norrington is just outside of this door."
Norrington strained his ears trying to listen but couldn't hear anything but a bunch of whispering voices.
"Oh… I know." Jack seductively said before kissing her on her throat causing a moan to escape her.
"Jack… stop." Christie pushed him off of her breaking the daze. "Why do you do this Jack?" she asked meekly. "I mean one day you're mean, the next, you're nice and then mean again, and now you're kissing me."
Jack didn't know the answer either and couldn't look at her straight in the eye.
"I think he left." Christie whispered before walking to the door and removed the chair and yanked the door open to have Norrington to fall down at her feet. "Gah!" she screamed before getting angry. "What are you doing here?" she glared at Norrington.
"I was… uh… I was looking for Mr. Turner." He lied stuttering.
"Ah, the dark side of ambition, is it Norry?" Jack also glared at Norrington.
"You! What are you doing here Sparrow." Norrington spat while narrowing his eyes at Jack. "You missed your appointment to the gallows last time, pirate, but this time I will kill you before!" James yelled in fury before unsheathing his sword and pointing it at Jack. "Don't touch her." James said menacingly meaning Christie.
"Ye mean her?" Jack grinned daftly and pulled Christie to his side.
"Stop!" Christie screeched furiously while wriggling in Jack's grip.
"You shall die!" Norrington yelled and swung his sword at Jack causing Jack to let go of Christie.
"Stop it! STOP!" Christie shrieked. "Bloody men." She cursed under her breath. She ran out of the room to get her effects. Coming back into the room, she found Jack and James still fighting. Pulling out her sword she jumped into the fierce fight.
"Get out of here Kristen!" Norrington ordered Christie.
"NO! I will not be treated like some delicate lady! And if you think that's who I am, well I'm not!" she shouted back before switching her sword to attack Norrington, which he parried.
"Then what are you?" James asked in fear of what she might say.
"Something that you despise of very much." Christie lowered her voice.
"I don't despise you." He whispered. "I don't want to fight you." He said lowering his sword.
Jack interrupted their moment by swinging his sword at Norrington's causing the fight to rile up again. "She's a bloody pirate! A scallywag!" Jack filled in the blanks.
"If she was, where is her mark!" Norrington yelled hoping she wasn't. "Is this true?" Norrington asked her but as found his weakness and kicked Norrington's sword out of his hand.
"Surrender." Jack lowered his voice into a dangerous tone as his eye's turned black. Christie realized the sudden change in the atmosphere and stared at Jack's eyes before looking away because of how threatening they looked.
"Yes… it is." Christie answered looking everywhere but Jack or Norrington. "I lied to you because I believe you would have me hanged. And my name isn't Kristen, its Christie."
"But… you don't even act like a pirate. How could you be one?" Norrington asked hoping she was tell a lie.
"My father always told me stories about pirates that fascinated me. I hardly can remember them. When both of them died, I needed to find a way to survive so I became a pirate." She answered.
"Surrender and I'll spare yer life." Jack said changing the topic. "Tha wedding fer the Turner's is tomorrow. I suspect you will turn us in, but if ye do, then I will kill you right now."
Norrington feared for his life and answered, "Agreed. But if you cause any chaos of sorts, I will have to protect the civilians and turn you in. Understood."
"Aye." Jack nodded his head and removed the sword from Norrington's neck. Norrington stuck out his hand for a shake, which again made Jack look at it suspiciously. He then grabbed it, giving a firm shake before letting go. "Well, good day ol' Norry." Jack saluted to him and chuckled.
"If I may have a moment, Christie." Norrington asked ignoring Jack.
"You may." Christie nodded.
"In private." Norrington asked before giving Jack an angry glare.
"Yer orders, yer majesty." Jack mock bowed and laughed before walking out the door and hid on the side listening.
"I am surprised much that you… are a pirate… but indeed I keep my promises and I won't tell a soul. I wouldn't have told anyone even if I did know. Your heart is too kind. Ever since I met you, I've taken a fancy to you as if I were in a reverie. And I wish that you would take up my offer… as being my wife." Norrington nervously asked while grabbing her hand.
"James…" she whispered while laying her other hand on top of his. "I would… but I can't stay here forever. I need to roam free… the sea is my home." She rejected him but tried not to be rude.
"I understand." James whispered back with tears in his eyes.
"I'm sorry." She smiled hoping to cheer him up but it didn't. She gently took her hands back and walked quietly out of the room.
What do you think:) She doesn't fancy Norrington that much and a little later she will realize her little crush on Jack that could turn out to be one happy love or diasterous. Yep! That's all the info I can give for now! Love you all lots for reviews! Hehe, it keeps up the suspense. X)
