"You're what…?" Elizabeth asked astonished.
"I'm going to go back to Port Royal." Natalie repeated.
"Why…?" Elizabeth questioned.
Natalie shrugged. "I just don't think I belong here anymore." She said looking over at Jack and Jaclyn.
Elizabeth nodded sadly. "I understand why you want to leave. Have you told Jack yet?"
Natalie shook her head. "No, I will as soon as he pry his arms off Jaclyn." She said bitterly.
"Well, that doesn't look like it will be happening anytime soon, so why don't you go up to him and ask to speak with him alone." Elizabeth said turning her gaze toward Jack and Jaclyn. She knew how much it hurt Natalie to look at them like that.
"I guess…well here goes…" Natalie took a deep breath and walked over to where Jack and Jaclyn were.
"Jack, I need to speak with you privately…" Natalie said softly. Jack nodded and whispered something to Jaclyn before following Natalie.
"What do you need to talk to me about?" He asked curiously.
"I want to go back to Port Royal because I feel like I just don't belong her." Natalie replied finding it easier to talk to the sea then to him.
"But you do belong here you've been on this ship before and Elizabeth is here." Jack said trying to convince her stay.
"And so is Jaclyn…" She said bitterly.
"I should have known this was about Jaclyn." He said softly.
"What does that mean!" Natalie said angrily turning her gaze to Jack.
"Nothing it's just that's all you've been talking about lately." He replied.
"Well maybe if she wasn't all over you then I wouldn't be talking about her and maybe if she didn't come with Elizabeth and Will I also wouldn't be talking about her." Natalie said trying to remain calm.
"So you're saying it was my fault she decided to help rescue you?" Jack said getting a little annoyed.
"You're the one who let on the ship to begin with." Natalie said getting irritated at him for sticking up for Jaclyn.
Jack shook his head in irritation and walked away from her. Natalie watched him walk away, but quickly followed him. "Just say it…" She said.
Jack turned around making Natalie almost run into him. "Say what; what do you want me to say?" He said now completely agitated with her.
"Say you don't love me and I will go back to Port Royal. You will never hear or see me again. If you truly do love me just say it." Natalie said softly.
Jack took a step closer to her, so their faces were about an inch apart. "I don't love you…are you happy now?" As he said this the whole crew got silent their attention now on the conversation that Jack and Natalie were having.
"Yes, but answer me one thing. Have you ever loved me?" She asked curious of the answer, but yet at the same time she feared it.
"At one point, yes…then someone else came along." Jack said quietly.
"Jaclyn…am I right I mean that's the only other person you've been with at the moment." Natalie said trying so hard not to lash out at him. Jack didn't say anything instead he walked away.
"You'll take me to Port Royal then?" Natalie asked.
"Yes…" Was the response she got. She looked around the ship, the crew was getting back to work, Elizabeth looked at Jack hoping he would change his mind, Will looked upset as well and Jaclyn looked like the happiest person on board the ship.
Natalie sighed and looked out over the ocean. She was going home, but was it what she really wanted? Was it even what Jack really wanted? I guess no one will know what he wants now… Natalie thought.
It took Natalie five days to get to Port Royal. Those last few days on The Black Pearl were boring. Jack and Natalie had not spoken to each other since their argument and Natalie tried to stay as far away from Jack as possible. Elizabeth was upset because she was afraid that she might never again see Natalie now that Natalie and Jack weren't talking. Will was also equally as upset as Elizabeth. Jaclyn couldn't careless that Natalie was leaving. To her she had won the fight, she had gotten the one Natalie cared for most and was happy about it. As for Jack no one really knew how he felt about all of this.
Late that night in the fifth day Port Royal could be seen from the ship. Natalie sighed and looked at Jack, who was steering the ship and then looked back at the small port of Port Royal. In a few short minutes the ship docked without being seen in Port Royal's harbor.
Elizabeth quickly hugged her sister and said. "I will miss you…"
Natalie gave a small smile. "I will too…" She then quietly and quickly got off the ship. Once Natalie was far enough she turned around and watched The Black Pearl leave the harbor and as she watched a tear slide down her cheek, but Natalie quickly wiped it away.
Natalie then started walking home thinking about what had happened to her in the last five days. She was just about home when she heard a noise behind her. Natalie quickly turned around and she thought someone ran into the nearest alley, but she thought it was her mind playing tricks on her so she didn't follow. Instead she quickened her pace and made it home safely where her father greeted her.
"Natalie I heard that John had kidnapped you. Are you alright?" He asked sounding very concerned.
"Yes, I'm fine he didn't hurt me…" She said as her father embraced her.
"How did you get away from him?" Governor Swann asked curiously.
"Jack Sparrow saved me…" Natalie said softly.
"Well, you must be tired…your room is all ready for you." He said and Natalie went straight to her room, collapsed on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
