Chapter 8: Misunderstandings
Faye sat on the steps in front of the pub, looking out to the raucous streets of the town. People entered and left the Faithful Bride, some throwing her a suspicious look.
Will stepped outside, and saw her sitting there.
"Faye? I thought you said you were off to find yourself a man?" he asked her, smiling.
"Nah, I just didn't want to sit in there anymore."
"Oh . . .Why?"
Will came to sit down next to her.
"Too crowded for the likes of me," she responded. "Don't get me wrong, I like it but it's just . . . Something ain't right."
"Oh? And what would that be?"
"It's just . . . I dunno . . ."
"Come on, you can tell me."
Faye looked at him for a moment before saying, "Something about what Jack said. He was keeping something from us for a reason, but I don't know why."
"And . . . What is it that he said?"
"The treasure . . ."
"Oh, yes. It sounds exciting . . . But what do you think he was hiding from us?"
"I'm not sure . . . Something up his sleeve . . . Something he's not saying."
"Yes, he has a tendency to do that . . ." Will murmured, thinking back.
"I suppose so . . . You'd know, right?"
"Right."
"I don't know what's going to happen . . ." Faye mused softly. "But hey . . ." She laughed suddenly. "That's not for me to judge."
Will nodded thoughtfully, and then got up. "Well, I'm going to bed."
"Really? It's not even that late."
"Yeah, I'm tired . . ."
Faye got up as well. "I'll walk with ye, seeming as how I'm not doin' anything else."
Will smiled and headed down to the docks to row back to the Pearl, Faye following.
~
"Well Captain, I think I'm off to bed," Kit stated as she got up from the table.
"Already?" Jack inquired, looking surprised.
"Yeah . . ." She faked a yawn. "I'm gettin' tired . . ."
As she was about to head towards the door, it burst open and Elizabeth came flying through it, straight towards Kit and Jack.
"What's the matter, love?" Jack asked the rampaging woman.
"I saw Will leave with that . . . that woman!" she told them venomously.
"And is there a problem with that?"
Elizabeth slammed her hands down on the table. "I don't like her!"
Jack grabbed his mug of rum that almost fell over. "Easy on the rum, darling!"
"I don't give a damn about your rum!" Elizabeth yelled. Jack had a look of both hurt and shock.
"I want Will back!" she sobbed.
"But I thought you said you didn't care for him anymore?" Kit interjected.
"I don't know why I said that! I love him and I will kill her if I have to!" And with that she stormed out of the pub.
"Well . . ." began Jack, after a long pause. "That was interesting . . ."
"Very . . ."
"I thought you were off to bed?"
"Huh? Oh! Right! Well, g'night!" Kit walked out of the Faithful Bride quickly, not looking back.
"She's an odd one, she is . . ." Jack murmured thoughtfully.
~
Faye was walking side by side with Will, heading towards the docks when Elizabeth came into sight.
They stopped as she ran up to them, out of breath. "I was . . . I wanted . . ."
"Yes, Elizabeth?" asked Will curiously.
"Oh hell lass, just spit it out!" Faye told her sternly.
"You can't be with her! I must protest!"
Faye was taken aback. "Be with me? Whatever gave you that idea? I was just walking with him to the Pearl, right Will?"
Will nodded. "Yes, were just walking down there to go to bed."
This got Elizabeth even more frantic. She was about to retort when Kit strolled into view from behind a corner, and stopped when she got to them.
"What's going on?" she asked them.
"None of your business!" Elizabeth snapped.
"Well, that's rude!" Kit replied.
"She thinks that Will and I here are . . . eh, together, I guess you would call it."
"But why would she think that?"
"I know, it doesn't make any sense!"
Elizabeth looked to Will. "How could you forget me so easily?" She looked on the verge of tears.
Will looked back at Elizabeth sadly. "I'm sorry . . ."
Faye looked shocked. "'Sorry'? What's there to be sorry for? You did nothing wrong!"
"No!" Elizabeth sank to the ground. "It wasn't supposed to be this way!"
"Well, how was it supposed to be?" Faye asked while leaning down to her.
"W-Will and I were supposed to get- get married! We were supposed to have a happy life together!" Elizabeth sobbed.
Will looked guilty and Faye looked uneasy. Kit rolled her eyes a little. "Egh . . . Sappy moment . . ."
"I'm sorry I caused you trouble," Faye said while standing up. "I'll leave . . ."
She was about to turn away when Elizabeth grabbed her arm. "No! Wait!"
Faye looked down at her with some surprise. "What?"
"I'm . . . I'm sorry . . . It's just that I get so emotional sometimes . . . I let it get the better of me . . ." She stood up. "You've done nothing wrong, I'm sorry."
"It's ok, it happens," Faye replied. Elizabeth gave a shaky smile, and then turned towards Will.
"Will, I can't help but love you . . . But I promise, I'll get over it. In due time, trust me." Faye's eyes dropped to the floor.
"Great! Now that that's settled, let's head to the ship, savvy?" Kit suggested.
Elizabeth gave a little laugh. "You're too much like Jack!" she complained, as Kit grinned.
Faye turned and walked away to go to the ship, as Will caught up to her.
"What's wrong? You didn't do anything, Faye."
"I hurt her . . ."
"No, it's just . . . She's always been a little emotional. Trust me, she'll get over it."
"I hope so."
They headed down to the Pearl in silence.
~
Kit walked down the street, hands in her pockets whistling. Jack came into view and ran to catch up with her.
"So what happened?" he asked her.
"Oh . . . Elizabeth just had a little break down." She frowned. "Said that she still loves Will . . . Thought Faye was goin' with him." She then laughed. "Like that would happen!"
Jack smiled. "Aye, I guess so."
There was a moment of slightly awkward silence.
"Well . . . I'm off to bed, then," said Kit.
"Fine . . ."
"Erm . . . Night . . ." She turned and walked down towards the docks, her hands still in her pockets.
Jack stared after her and was about to follow when he heard Elizabeth come up behind him.
"'Ello, Lizzy!" he called.
She frowned. "Don't call me Lizzy!"
Jack smiled crookedly. "And why not?"
"Hmph . . . But what are you doing out here, anyways?"
"Ah, just picking up the ladies of the night . . ."
"I see. Are any of them worthy of the infamous Jack Sparrow?"
"Nah not yet . . . But if I see a man worthy of ye I'll tell ya."
Elizabeth raised her eyebrows yet smiled. "Why thank you, Jack."
"You're welcome, love. Now, I am off. G'night."
"Good night, Jack."
"Don't stay out too long; wouldn't want you to be kidnapped again."
She laughed as she he turned and started to walk away. "Oh don't worry, I won't . . ." She walked off in the other direction.
A/N: So now there is some tension . . . Hmm . . . Wonder what shall happen? But anyways, please Review!
Nev: Yes, please
Pip: Eh . . . Now what?
Nev: We wait
Pip: Wait?
Nev: Yes
Pip: Oh . . . *twiddles thumbs together* Are we done waiting?
Nev: *sighs*
Nev: It's ok Pip, here's a cookie
Pip: . . . I don't wanna cookie . . .
