Late that night, Will and Elizabeth definitely were "sneakin' aroun'." They
met on the deck long after Jack had gone to bed and dumped the "steering
privileges" (as he liked to call it) on Will, who then came and awoke
Elizabeth.
"Do you think Jack is trying to trick us?" Elizabeth asked. "Last time-''
"Was before. You'll be fine, since all we need to do is repay the blood debt and put the gold back. Then we have to kill Barbossa and the rest of his crew and get Jack's crew back." He stroked Elizabeth's soft (and now short) hair. "I love you so much." He whispered. He kissed her gently, then turned back to she ship's wheel. She stood still, trying to recall his feel, his taste, before hurrying after him.
"Will, I just don't know. . . I mean, what if something awful happens?"
"Such as. . .?" Will trailed off.
"What if one of us is killed and the other lives. Honestly, Will, I just don't think I could handle it."
"I'm not going to die, Elizabeth." Will said. "You have to trust me."
"Will!" Elizabeth said. "Please, Will, hear me out!"
"All right." Will said. "But Elizabeth-"
"Don't." Elizabeth said, holding up a hand. "Will, I love you. I couldn't stand to be without you. Please, promise me you'll be extra careful and try not to do anything. . ." She looked him in the eye. "Stupid." She finished.
Will shook his head. ~Piracy must be taking a toll on Elizabeth,~ he thought. "I promise." He said. "I swear I will be careful."
Thuds behind them told them someone was coming up the stairs. Within seconds, Jack came through the doorway.
"Now look what ye done!" He scolded. "Yeh woke me up! An' I was sleepin' an' all."
"Sheez, sorry, Jack." Will said.
"That's captain Jack, Matey." Jack said. "An' Liz, yeh need to go back to sleep. It's gonna be a looooooooong day tomorrow. Will, I'll take over the steering privileges." He moved toward the steering wheel.
"It's Elizabeth, Captain Jack." She said. "And I'm not the least bit tired."
"Right." Jack said. "Fine, yeh can stay up."
"Thank you!" Elizabeth cried. She turned to Will, who was looking out over the horizon.
"What are you thinking about?" She asked, noticing him sigh and gaze out at the water.
"You." He said. "And what I will do if. . ." He trailed off, then brought his mouth on hers. "Don't leave, Elizabeth. Please, don't leave me." He wrapped her in his arms, contented to stay there forever, but Jack coughed and looked away. They jumped apart.
~Jack!!!!~ Will thought. ~You have the WORST timing!!!~
The next morning, when all were awake, Jack brought Catherine out of her "room" and onto the deck.
"Yeh've heard enough." He told her. "It's high time yeh joined us on our missin to get rid of Barbossa. Yeh with us?" He asked, looking her straight in the eye.
"Yeah, I'm with yeh." She said. "Barbossa killed me pappy."
"Well then." Jack said, not knowing what else to say. Then, he raised his fist into the air. "To the Pirates of the Caribbean!" He shouted. The other three raised their fists. But, just as they were about to shout, a shot rang out. They turned, startled, to see.
WILL'S POV.
Norrington. What is that "Vile dung heap" doing here? I thought he'd stay in Port Royale if he knew what was good for him. And why hasn't he been arrested? The Governor believed me when I told him that Elizabeth was shot. But what good is fighting back going to do? Norrington's always had a way with words. There is no way that the Governor will let me marry Elizabeth now. Norrington will convince him that I'm just a blacksmith. And I am. Just a blacksmith. He's the Commodore, for heaven's sake! I'm just a blacksmith. But a blacksmith with the love of the beautiful daughter of the Governor. Count your blessings, Will, my mother used to say. God knows that's what I'm doing now.
NO POV
"Will." The commodore sneered. "And Elizabeth." He moved closer. "Sparrow, how are you? Oh, ho! What is this? Moving along to capturing innocent women, are we?" He asked, looking at Catherine.
"Escuse me, Norrington, but SHE tried to take over MY. er. The ship. I didn' do nothin' to 'er!" Jack defended himself.
"Sure. After everything you've done to Port Royale, you think I'm going to let you get away with it this time? No, Sparrow. You're coming with me." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a gun. "Come quietly and you won't be hurt."
"I can' die, Mate." Jack said.
"Wha....?" Norrington asked. But it was too late. He was being bound and gagged. The next thing he knew, he was being shoved into the closet.
"Now wha' are we gonna do?" Jack asked, looking with doubt at Will as he leaned against the door of the closet.
"With him here, there isn't much we can do." Elizabeth reminded him. "It's me he wants, I'll go with him."
"No! Elizabeth, don't!" Will cried. "Please, Elizabeth, I....." He trailed off. Elizabeth put her hands on his chest and looked straight into his brown eyes. "I'm doing this for your safety as well as my own." She said. "Please, Will, come back to me. Promise me you won't forget me."
"I swear, Elizabeth. I swear I'll find you, whatever may happen."
Elizabeth went to the door and opened it. Out tumbled the Commodore, gun raised. He pointed it at Jack. BANG went the gun. Jack simply looked at him. "I told ye, I can' die." He said.
"What?" Norrington asked. "But. I just. I shot you! You should be dead!"
Jack stuck his arm into the moonlight. "I'm captain Jack Sparrow. And nothin' ye do will kill these fine buckos, either. They be cursed as well."
"What? Elizabeth, you LISTENED to this man?" The commodore asked.
"Yes, I listen to people I trust, Commodore." She said. "I went with him."
Just then, yet another BANG was heard and Elizabeth's father climbed aboard the ship.
A/N: Haha, left you with a cliffhanger. Okay, tommorow's Friday, and every year my church does this thing called FISH (friends in someone's house) weekend and I'm going/. I'll be spending the weekend in someone's house. Oh, man, 16 hyper girls crammed into one small room with a dozen boxes of lucky charms. Things could get ugly.
