Chapter 53: A Brilliant Idea…Not!
--Jack's at the helm--
"That wasn't very nice!" called Jack sighing miserably before making his way toward the helm. "Women." He muttered as Cotton quickly moved from his post and eyed a slow approaching Elizabeth. "Go away Elizabeth." He muttered ignoring the dark look he received and glaring straight ahead at the horizon.
"I can't." Elizabeth stated crossing her arms and realizing which direction they were headed in. "What is going on now?" she asked seeing Jacks face wrinkle into an annoyed look his fingers stretching over the helm in thought. "Jack?"
"Mind yer own business Lizzie." Jack snapped seeing her eyes widen in annoyance and anger before she growled something and marched off across the deck. "It's nice to be in a rotten mood…she goes away." He thought staring in the distance at Brandi who was at the side of the ship staring over the railing deep in thought. "Don't even think about it Will." He said seeing Will pause briefly on the steps to the helm and give him an inquisitive look.
"Jack…where are you taking us?" Will asked ignoring the order and standing there eyeing him suspiciously.
"As I stated to yer wife, mind yer own business." Jack answered waving away a rather annoyed looking Will
--Back to the side of the Pearl--
"Not now." I warned seeing four figures approaching me from opposite sides of the ship and glaring at the water below watching several silver fish swim under the ship.
Pintel, Ragetti, Elizabeth and Will all exchanged looks with each other and then took to glancing from the annoyed Captain Jack Sparrow and then back at me. "I feel like I'm in a cartoon where they're watching something move back and forth." I thought watching the swiveling heads and groaning irritably at the sight. I made a fist and lightly punched the railing ignoring the stinging sensation turning to face the swiveling heads. I snapped my fingers in their faces and got their attention, I then violently motioned for them to go away by waving my hands in a Jack fashion. "It's only works for him…I'm too nice." I thought bitterly seeing the four figures all raise brows at me as though I had cracked.
"GO AWAY!" I snapped seeing them all jump at my sudden outburst, before two of the four scattered rather quickly away. "That meant you two as well Elizabeth and Will." I muttered crossing my arms and seeing them both exchange looks with each other.
"What happened and where are we going…as if I didn't know the last part." Muttered Elizabeth eyeing me to confirm her suspicions before I turned away not wanting to answer. "Why?" she asked placing her hands on her hips and exchanging looks with Will again.
"I don't know." I said lying through my teeth, because I knew exactly what would happen if she did find out. "I don't need her to interfere and get us all locked up temporarily." I thought thankful she couldn't see into my face because she had learned to read me rather well. "Really I don't and he won't give me a straight answer…I got mad, he got mad, we're back to fighting." I muttered hearing two annoyed sighs behind me before hearing the shuffling of disappearing feet. "Fighting again…lovely." I thought sourly before grabbing onto the railing in frustration.
I stood there for about an hour finally managing to keep everyone away from me I lay down on the deck and watched the afternoon sun hearing shifting around me as the crew went about their duties avoiding Jack and myself both. "99 bottles of bear on the wall…why am I thinking that song?" I wondered sitting up realizing I was now bored. I then made my way to help Ragetti, Anna-Maria, and a few others around the ship until it was starting to become dark and then I found myself sitting on deck watching the crew singing and dancing around in a drunken haze, finally allowing myself to smile and clap along with the music. I heard a shuffling beside me and rolled my eyes at Jack who had joined me. "Who's at the helm?" I wondered turning to see Gibbs was lowering the anchor with a few others for the night.
"I need to talk." Jack said stating instead of asking, which annoyed me. "Come with me love." He said standing and offering me his hand.
"Not right now…I'm not in a very good mood yet." I answered seeing him quirk his brows at my answer before he squatted down beside me.
"What's stopping me from dragging ye?" Jack asked very near my ear making me shiver slightly, before I turned sending him a death glare.
"What is stopping you is the fact you value your appendages." I said softly my voice dripping with venom as I turned my attention back to the crew and laughed watching Will stumble to the deck with Elizabeth who had been whirling in circles until she was dizzy. "Besides…there's more on your mind then talking, and I am not discussing your revenge period." I said softly ignoring the annoyed sound beside me before Jack sat back down crossing his arms in irritation.
"Bloody stubborn woman anyway." Jack muttered amused when Will fell back down under Elizabeth who had attempted to stand.
"Thank you." I answered smiling faintly at the scowl I received. "Oh fine." I muttered climbing to my feet and waiting for Jack to do the same. I stood there for a full ten minutes and Jack didn't budge. "Alright then, have it your way." I thought seeing now that I was agreeable he didn't plan on being.
I stood there for a few minutes and snatched his hat standing away seeing him react like always, which was snap for the missing hat and stand to glare crossing his arms. I tossed his hat at him and marched my way to his cabin avoiding several crew members who were less then wobbly and paused leaning on his desk waiting for him to slam the door, which he did making sure the whole ship could have heard. "Damn it." I thought ignoring the dirty look I was getting and getting as annoyed as he probably felt at the moment. After a moment the both of us starting screaming at one another for about half hour or so and then finally stopped both glaring heatedly. I sat on the edge of his desk with my arms crossed and sighed wanting to throw something at him or kick him.
"This is getting me nowhere love…I just to sort this out, before we kill each other…savvy?" Jack asked quirking a brow seeing I was about to repeat an Elizabeth lecture, but I paused and shrugged.
"Fine…I'm warning you though, you won't be the one to kill him Jack…Elizabeth won't let it happen and how do you expect to get around James?" I asked crossing my arms and watching him pause a few inches in front of me. "Grisham and the rest are probably under heavy guard and we already know Gillette hates me…he won't do you any good." I muttered seeing Jack smirk at this before I tilted my head hating the look I saw in his face at the moment.
"Yer going to distract the good Commodore…he still has a thing for ye." Jack answered simply seeing my mouth open to protest, but all I could do was move it without anything verbal coming through. "Nothing overly hard love, just enough to keep him out of me way." He said placing a finger lightly against my chin and assisting my mouth shut.
