CHAPTER TWO
Elizabeth awoke to the gentle sound of waves crashing on the beach. The first rays of the sun spilled over the horizon, turning the sky a magnifincant shade of orange. She stirred and felt something solid and warm beside her. Turning her head, she saw Jack Sparrow. She had her arm draped across his bare chest and her head was resting on his shoulder. They were lying in a makeshift bed of. She lifted her head, and Jack stirred and opened eyes. He smiled down at Elizabeth and gently kissed her lips.
"'Morning, love" he whispered, "Sleep well?"
"Perfectly." She answered, and snuggled in closer to Jack. She felt so safe, so happy; she never wanted to leave this spot.
Jack ran his fingers threw her soft hair, and stared at the sky. 'This moment is perfect' he thought.
Then, all too soon for Elizabeth's liking, Jack was sitting up and putting on his shirt. "Well, darling, we best get a move on if we wanna get off this godforsaken spit of land."
"Well, Mr. Sparrow, where do you suggest we start? Should we rope some sea turtles?" she asked sarcastically. Jack laughed, remembering the story Gibbs told about how he escaped the island last time.
"No, love. I didn't use sea turtles last time. Just bartered my way off on a passing ship. We'll have to find another way."
3 hours later, they had yet another roaring fire, which caught onto some of the palm trees. Black smoke filled the sky above them.
"There!" said Jack, plopping himself on the sand, "Someone's bound to see that!"
"I hope you're write." Sighed Elizabeth, setting herself beside Jack.
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, love." He said, putting his arm around her, "Of course I'm right."
She leaned into him, but then suddenly sat up. "Jack! Look!"
A ship came into view on the horizon.
"It can't be." jack whispered, but it was. The Black Pearl came closer and closer. Jack and Elizabeth were both standing now. They could see figures on the ship, but couldn't make out their faces. A small boat was lowered and rowed to the beach.
"Anamaria." Jack stated.
"Well, well, Jack Sparrow. Come on, we don't have all day. We've got the bloody Commodore on our tail. They scrambled into the boat and Anamaria began to row back. "Don't expect me to save your arse again, Sparrow. It's more than you deserve, stealing my ship, promising me a better one, and then getting yourself marooned with me to save you." They were at the Pearl now, and climbed up over the side to find the whole crew staring at them.
"How the bloody hell did you get the Pearl?" Jack demanded Anamaria
"Will paid his blood, we killed them all, and then took the Pearl" said Anamaria simply. "RAISE ANCHOR! Hoist the sails!"
"Elizabeth!" Elizabeth turned around to see Will coming towards her, and enveloped her in a huge hug. Jack scowled jealously, but turned away so no one would notice.
"Will! It's so good to see you! I was so worried that you were dead!" Elizabeth pulled back to look at him. He looked rather solemn. "Is everything all right?" she asked.
"Yes, of course." He said. "I've got to get working. I have to show Anamaria something down below."
Elizabeth turned to look at Anamaria. She was handing Jack his coat and hat. "Captain Jack Sparrow, the Black Pearl is yours." And with that she turned around, and Will went to meet her, and led her to the door to the lower decks. Elizabeth noticed he was guiding her, with his hand resting gently on her lower back.
