Chapter Eleven: The War for Will's Heart

"The girl's blood didn't work did it?"

Barbossa paused. "Hold your fire!" he looked at Jack. "You know whose blood you need?"

Jack smiled. "I know whose blood you need."

You bloody, drunk idiot! Came a voice in Jack's head. What are you doing?! You're putting Will, Elizabeth, Lissie, and not to mention Beth in danger!

No reason to fret, he told himself silently. He had a plan.

* * *

Elizabeth set foot on the Interceptor. "Not more pirates," she said worringly.

"Welcome aboard, Miss Elizabeth," said Gibbs, stepping forward.

"Mr. Gibbs?" she asked.

"Hey boy, where be Jack?" asked Gibbs when Will came up.

"He fell behind," he said as he led Elizabeth down below.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"There are a couple people I want you to meet."

* * *

"They're here!" whispered Beth.

"What? They're coming down here?"

"Yeah, this is where Will bandages up her hand and they almost k—"

Lissie shifted her shoulders. She hated that part, where he almost kissed her, also the ending, and Beth could remember all too well all those times they went to see the movie together. Whenever they got to the part where Elizabeth said, "No, he's a pirate," Lissie would stiffen up and cross her arms, a frown on her face. And now the girl who kisses her man was coming down to meet her?! Was Will out of his mind?!

"Lissie! Beth! There's some one I want you to meet!" called Will once he and Elizabeth had reached their cabin and Will had knocked on the door.

Lissie opened the door, with much regret. There they were, Elizabeth standing behind Will. Lissie wasn't going to let her win Will, she was determined to change the ending of the movie. Well, by the looks of things, Elizabeth looked like there was going to be some competition. Lissie 'fired the first shot' by doing…

"Will! I'm so glad you made it back safely!" she said. Then, she hugged him, and Will thought she was a little stiffer than usual.

"Where's Jack?" broke in Beth.

"I'm sorry but, he fell behind," replied Will when he let go of Lissie.

"WHAT?!" yelled Beth. She was a good actor herself.

"I'm sorry but he said himself to 'keep to the code'."

"But—"

"Don't worry! I'm sure he'll find his way back… somehow. Anyway, Elizabeth, this is Lissie and Beth." All the girls nodded to each other.

Lissie suddenly noticed something. Elizabeth's hand was already bound with the cloth. Had she done that herself? She must have, or else Will would be mad at her.

"Well, I have to help with the crew, so if you'll excuse me," said Will as he walked off. They seemed to like each other, he thought.

"Well, I'm hungry, would you girls like something to eat?"

"No thanks, we just had breakfast," said Lissie, somewhat in the same manner that Elizabeth had, stiffly.

"Well, suit yourselves," said Elizabeth as she walked into the galley.

As soon as she was out of sight, Lissie did a mock friendly smile in her direction and shut the door.

"I hate her," she said.

"Can't imagine why," said Beth sarcastically.

"Do you realize that a war going to be raging on?"

"Oh yeah, the Black Pearl is going to come up on us soon!"

"Not that war, you idiot! The war for Will's heart!"

"Oh yeah… but Jack comes back!"

"Shut…up…about…Jack!" Lissie said through gritted teeth. Clearly Elizabeth had touched a nerve, or she was thinking about what was going to happen between her and Will at the end of the movie and in what she thought was about ten minutes.

"I have bigger problems to worry about! Will is about to bind her hand with the cloth, almost kiss her, find out the pirates need his blood, the Black Pearl is about to come after us, and you're worrying about Jack?!"

"Yeah! You already kissed Will, and all I got to do was use Jack as a pillow!"

"He comes back, end of story."

"Well, not really, because Elizabeth and him get stranded on the island, then there's the fighting in the cave—"

"I know that story! I mean, the story between Jack getting captured and coming back. You should be happy that we didn't go along with them in the cave! We'd mess up that entire scene from the movie…"

"Really, huh? We know what happens, we'd be helping!"

"What if you trip? I know how clumsy you are—"

"CLUMSY?! ME?! I'M NOT THE ONE WHO TRIPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY IN HIGHSCHOOL!"

"How do you remember that?"

"May fifth, 2001. You were staring at Ben, and you didn't see Andy's foot sticking out—"

"SSSHHH!" said Lissie suddenly. She thought she heard something—or someone outside the door. She opened it, and Elizabeth fell in. Clearly she had been leaning against the door to hear what they were talking about. Her heart started thumping fast. How much had she heard?

By the looks of things, a lot. She was looking at Lissie and Beth with an evil expression on her face.

"So, you two know what's going to happen, do you? Are you physics, or are you from the future?"

Silence.

Elizabeth smiled. "I thought so." She turned to Lissie. "You kissed Will, did you?"

"Maybe," said Lissie.

Her smile widened. "Are you in love with him?"

"Maybe."

"If you kissed him, then you are. Well, I've got bad news for you. He's mine, so back off."

Lissie opened her mouth to protest, but Elizabeth continued.

"Stay away from him, or I'll have to tell him that you both are from the future, and I'll tell you now, he hates it when people lie to him, especially people that get close to him. So unless you want to keep the relationship between you two going, stay away, but I doubt you'll be able to keep it going either way." And with that, she stalked off, leaving Lissie red in the face and Beth with her mouth open in shock.

"Now do you see why I hate her?" asked Lissie loudly so that she could be sure that Elizabeth heard her.

"What…a…bloody…stuck-up…snotty…spoiled…brat!" said Beth angrily.

"Like I said, the war for Will's heart is about to begin!"
