NOTE: Sorry about that long cut in between the Tortuga scene and the crew scene.... So here is the huge gap... YAY.
Audrey walked towards the bridge, still grumbling on the fact that they had to use HER ship. Didn't anyone of this pathetic crew have one? She stopped dead in her tracks as she gazed disbelieving at the figure of Jack, steering the boat. Jack Sparrow steering HER boat! Audrey quickly rubbed her eyes, checking if this was all because of lack of sleep. Unfortunatly, it wasn't, Jack still stood there, humming to himself. She gritted her teeth and stormed over to him. Audrey placed a hand firmly onto his shoulder and spun him around to face her.
"WHAT do you think you're doing?" she asked, placing her hands at her hips.
"Hey, hands off!! I'm sailing this ship to Izbon, Savvy?"
"Ooooh no your not. I'M captain of this ship, therefore *I* get to steer it, now get your filthy paws off of my ship!!" she cried.
"YOUR SHIP!? I'm older than you and I am MORE experienced! So I get to steer the ship!" Jack argued
"Thats right, you're older, which means you'll probably die of a heart attack, this ship is too advanced for you!" she said.
"THERE is not one ship in this world that CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow could not sail, and this one, I can, so go and count your gold Audrey! Before I lock you up in a cabin room" Jack said angrily.
"Oh, you are sooo NOT getting away with this 'Captain' Jack Sparrow." she said, giving his name a sarcastic twist.
Kate walked over to where Will was standing near the starboard side of the ship.
"You were Elizabeth's Fiancé weren't you?" Kate asked.
They could still hear Jack and Audrey arguing in the background.
"Yes I was," Will said shortly, "why?"
"Well, I met the governor, and he said that Elizabeth's fiancé was in a depressed state right now. Is this why you are the mournful soul. For the blood thing?" Kate asked.
"I would imagine." he said.
It was awkwardly silent for a few seconds when Will suddenly broke the silence.
"Why are you so depressed yourself?" he asked.
"Well... I'm about to get married, My Fiancé keeps an eye on me like Im some sort of child and I want to be free. Not being watched over. It drives me insane. I don't even think this man is the right one for me. Do you know what he did when i almost drowned and almost became a midday morsel for sharks?" she asked Will.
"No, what happened?" he asked, now looking up at her, instead of at his hands.
"He let me drown in the water until someone had to come and save me. Which was Jack. He saved me and yet, my fiancé didn't like it one bit." Kate said, "Odd... all I remember while I was under the water was shouts from my fiancé yelling, Save her!! Save my fiancé, my father told him to jump in but he never did. Jack jumped in to save me, probably because he saw that no one else was." Kate said looking back on the bridge to see Audrey and Jack having a tug o war over the helm.
"Some fiancé. You mean he did nothing to see that you were in danger?" he asked.
"Nothing what so ever" Kate said looking a bit disappointed. I really don't know what i want. I especially don't want someone like him. When i don't accept an offering from him, his face turns red with anger. He has a horrible temper"
"Must you marry him, or are you just afraid to leave him?" he asked.
My family is making me marry him, if I do leave him, it is most likely, hell probably track me down or something"
"Track you down? Surely with a free spirit such as yours you can easily dodge him." he said.
"I would be able to try, i have tried on numerous occasions, but he's too smart for me"
Will gave a small smile.
"Too smart? Really? A smart man would not drive his fiancée to run away with a bunch of pirates." he said.
Kate gave a short laugh at that.
"Well... he was held captive by the Captain who is on the Black pearl. Supposedly, Jack has had his ship stolen before" She said to Will.
"Jack, most likely, has had his ship stolen many times before, the way he brags about it." he said.
Kate smiled about that comment, looking like she would start laughing any minute.
"Anyway... I don't know what to do... Sorry to bother you with my troubles. I should have never brought it up' Kate said.
"Really, it's alright, it helps take my mind off of my troubles."
Will looked up.
"Oh honestly!" he cried, motioning towards Jack and Audrey at the bridge. Jack had Audrey's wrists tied and he was roughly escorting her towards the cabin he had threatened her with earlier.
"You don't like her either?" Kate asked with a smirk on her face.
Will flushed.
"Well, no, it's not that, when you get past the talking, and the rudeness, and the deals, she's really a nice person. Why? You don't like her, do you?" he asked.
"I havent exactly gotten passed the rudeness, talking and the deals she always makes. Yet. You've gotta say, she's a pirate; most pirates are like that"
She said grinning.
He gave a small scowl.
"Yes, the pirate thing. I thought she was quite strange when she began stealing jewellery from women. It's quite a shame she's been lying to me, it means I can't trust her." he sighed.
Really? Well, maybe... The reason why she was lying to you was because she was afraid what you might think if she was a pirate. You're a pirate aren't you?"
"Yes, I am, but not as much as those two." he said, nodding towards Audrey yelling at a smirking Jack to let her out of the cabin he had just locked her in.
"Tell me, for a lady such as yourself with morals and a fiancé, you seem 'friendly' with Jack." he said.
"Have anything to share?" he asked.
Kate looked around.
"Um... well, he has saved me more times than my fiancé has ever. But we got into this argument about why he was saving me the whole time. It kind of disappointed me" Kate said looking away from the bridge where Jack continued to fight over the Helm.
"Don't be disappointed over that, thats the way Jack is, he never shows any feelings, i can guarantee that he didn't mean what he said." Will replied reassuringly.
But he did apologize after i swat him across the face. he said a, shall we say, rude remark about me... not as calling me names but... just talking about my body. so i gave him what he deserved. A swat across the face" Kate said, "He's real intentions for saving me were to keep me alive so that i would be able to counter the blood ritual" Kate said showing Will the pendant on her neck.
Will chuckled.
"He would say rude comments, thats how he hides his emotions. He cares for you and you know it...*he* knows it. It's not the blood ritual he just wants you for. Take Audrey for example, Jack wouldn't have shot her even if he didn't need her. He could easily find another bargainer, but he just won't shoot an old friend, no matter how irritating she may be. Jack can find another to take your place, he just doesnt want to." Will explained, watching Audrey pick the lock and open the door.
But he does care about me" Kate said. Questioningly
" Well... Jack does have a bad reputation for woman. Do you suppose he doesn't want to show anything because it would change his entire reputation? People would think ill of him... maybe that wasn't the best question to ask. Or maybe his other whores would try to kill me or something?" Kate asked. Will shrugged.
"He is a bit charming... but like you said about Audrey, How will you be able to trust them? Jack is a Rogue. You could never tell when he's telling the truth. So I'm not sure if I would be able to trust that" Kate said.
Will shrugged, once again.
"True. But, you're just going to have to take chances...like I'm doing." he said.
Audrey pulled with all her strength, which was quite a lot for a girl, on the helm as Jack pulled it towards him.
"Just make it easier for both of us and LET GO!!!" she cried.
"Aye!" Jack said and he let go of the helm as Audrey flew backward and the helm was spinning madly. The Whole Ship suddenly made a sharp turn, and almost flipped over into the sea.
Audrey sat up, emerald eyes flashing maliciously. She gritted her teeth and closed her hands into tight fists.
"Told you you weren't as experienced as I am" jack said walking away from the helm.
Audrey's breath came in short, angry gasps. She got up slowly. She paused for a moment. Then, she threw herself at Jack screaming "Filthy scumbag!!"
Jack pushed Audrey off him then drew out his sword and pistol.
"Dont make me have to threaten u again, savvy!?" Jack said pointing the sword at her throat and the pistol near her head
"You don't have the guts. You're nothing but a cowardly weakling. Come on, kill me, I dare you. Pull the trigger or slice my throat, both requires easy movements. You're just scared aren't you? Not able to kill a woman..." she hissed furiously in his ear.
"Am I now? I could kill a woman if I wanted to, but if I killed you now, then that would give Quintos every reason to kill me, since he needs your blood."
"Are you going to shut your mouth throughout this journey to Izbon? Or am I gonna have to threaten you all the way?" Jack asked her still holding his pistol and sword in the same place.
"Then it's going to be a very uncomfortable ride, isn't it, because I will never shut up, you rude bastard. If you're going to keep me like this, who's going to steer the ship." she asked, a smirk playing on her lips.
Cut to:
Jack sat on the stairs of the bridge looking very bored, on the other hand, Audrey was contently steering her ship.
"You're not going the right way. You don't even have a compass" Jack said holding his and looking at it, which it pointed southwest.
"And like your's is any better than none?" she replied.
"Not all directions point north, savvy" Jack said boredly flipping open the lid to his compass and shutting it, continually.
"Maybe not in your sick little world." she said cheerfully.
Whats that suppose to mean? I live in the same world as you do" Jack said narrowing his eyes at her.
Then he laid his back down on the deck, boredly.
Audrey growled.
"Don't make start talking excessively again. You know I will...Speaking of Will, where is he?" she muttered.
"Will, I imagine, is probably staying away from the likes of you, because he knows that you do not shut up!" Jack said looking up at Audrey since he was still lying on the floor.
"I see. And I supposed that the reason why Kate isn't around either is because she can't stand the stench of you, when was the last time you bathed? You smell like a water-logged rat." she said.
"EXCUSE ME, Last time,.... oh..."
He then lay back down on his back again. Flipping the compass open and shutting it, to annoy Audrey.
" When was the last time you did? Miss 'Trying-to-impress-a-proper-man'?" Jack said, ' Why isn't Kate around. I saw her talking to Will, while I was locking u up in your den!"
"'Impress a proper man', what are you getting at?" she asked, looking down at him
"You know what Im getting at... everyone in Tortuga had been talking about it. You went and snuck into Will's house, trying to get to him... and trying to act all lady like."
Jack then muttered something that sounded like, "Lady like HA!"
Audrey stared back at the helm, taking a deep interest in the decorative carvings on the polished wood. She tried to hold back her tears but it wasn't working. Jack's words had dug too deep, but she defiantly wouldn't let him see her cry. Pirates don't cry. She stayed silent, which was terribly strange for her to do.
Jack still lay on his back until he heard silence.
He sat up, looked around and saw everyone was working on the masts and all, and he then looked up at the captain, who was trying so hard not to look at him.
"SILENCE!! I can't believe it!" Jack said getting up and walking down the steps.
"You're such a bloody rude bastard." she said softly, not bothering to wipe the tears falling down her cheeks, not caring anymore whether or not he saw her crying.
"Sticks and Stones, Luv." Jack said running down from the bridge.
Jack came back up from dancing around in silence, when he noticed tears streaming down Audrey's face.
"No... It couldnt get any worse than this... NOW WHAT DID I DO?" He asked her, as if not knowing.
"It's not what you did, it's what you said! It's not like I had a choice to be a pirate, it's not like I made both my parents run off, leaving me alone, I didn't have a rich family like Kate's, I'm just trying to set my life right without becoming Wanted in every land on the planet." she cried.
Jack cautiously walked toward Audrey and he awkwardly tapped her shoulder to comfort her.
"My apologizes of what I said. What ever I said..."
Audrey pulled Jacks hand away.
"Just leave me alone, steer your bloody ship." she said and turned to leave
"Thanks very much" Jack said, " At least I won't be as lonely as I always am" he said taking the helm in his hands. Just before he heard Audrey mutter something to him...
"You lonely? Ha, I don't think you're that lonely with your whores." she murmured as she left.
Jack grabbed her by the wrist and turned her to face him.
" You have no idea what Being alone for most your life is like" he said really angrily and then went back to steering the ship, staring out into the horizon, not noticing anything else.
"Apparently you don't listen well, I'm in the same situation." she muttered, and left.
Audrey walked towards the bridge, still grumbling on the fact that they had to use HER ship. Didn't anyone of this pathetic crew have one? She stopped dead in her tracks as she gazed disbelieving at the figure of Jack, steering the boat. Jack Sparrow steering HER boat! Audrey quickly rubbed her eyes, checking if this was all because of lack of sleep. Unfortunatly, it wasn't, Jack still stood there, humming to himself. She gritted her teeth and stormed over to him.
