Taken As A Pirate

Chapter 2 Captain

Elizabeth finished dinner then headed out to take a walk just as she had planned. She headed towards the dock to see if there was anything more interesting going on there. She walked over the wood that made the dock while looking down at the water that shined like a diamond in the way the moonlight hit it.

She was almost to the end when she heard somebody calling out her name. Thinking about running fearing it was Norrington again but she didn't because she recognized the voice after a second and the voice saying her name again.

"Jack!" She said smiling and then she saw him standing in front of her.

"Captain!" He said quite seriously even though he was only joking while the side of his mouth formed a half smile. She looks quite nice standing in the moonlight like that. He thought then giving her a full smile.

"What are you doing here?" She asked straight out and smiled remembering him being insisted upon being called captain and she hugged him. He was a bit taken back by this but hugged her back even though he was a pirate and all.

She noticed he smelt like salt water and rum. He was also a bit damp to. He must have gotten wet on his way to the docks. She melded into the embrace and she felt safe. She didn't want to let go but she did and then stood right close in front of him.

"Come by to see ye an' Will. Also me ship needed a few things. The crew be off as we speak borrowin' some stuff." Jack said pointing to the Pearl that wasn't docked at the dock but further out meaning they had to row in.

Jack had probably been worried about Norrington catching him again. Elizabeth thought as she could barely see the big ship out there. She didn't like it when he had said Wills name though. It had brought up many memories that had shared together.

Elizabeth frowned when he said Will's name and he thought it was about his crew 'borrowing' stuff off of Port Royal.

"No worries luv I'm sure me crew wouldn' hurt nobody's." Jack said smirking and moving closer to her. Speaking of they were already close they were now so close together they could feel each others warm breath hit them.

Elizabeth smirked at him thinking that she'd care about his crew 'borrowin' stuff but then the smirk left her face as quickly as it had came. She should just get this over with and tell him.

"Jack I don't know how to say this- it just that- I mean- Jack what I'm trying to say is that Will's dead." There she had said it.

Jack frowned and it hit him. Probably what was one of his best friends was dead. He didn't let any emotion show though. He just whispered what he said next as they were still standing close together.

"Sorry to hear tha' luv." He told her sincerely and she knew he had meant it.

Elizabeth smiled at the pet name he used but the smile didn't last long. She saw hurt flicker across his eyes when she had told him but nothing else. They all had grown to be a trio in the short time they had spent together and Jack and Will had become good friends.

For noticing the first time she smelt rum on his breath, not doubt like always. She felt Jack's hand on her shoulder and felt her heart beat a little faster. He must have sensed it because he took his hand off of her. Elizabeth was screaming to herself on the inside asking herself why she felt these feelings when Jack touched her.

She hadn't known how to respond to him and he didn't say anything. Suddenly she moved closer to him not sure that she was in control over what she was doing. Elizabeth put her hands around his neck and he put his hands on her waist, they both seemed to not know why they were doing this it was like they had lost control over their own bodies.

Why should Jack worry though? He was a pirate and he'd do whatever he pleased but somehow he felt different. Then they kissed like there was no tomorrow. It felt way different to him then all the other girls he'd kissed. He felt something spark. Elizabeth pulled back first not knowing why she had just done that.

Why had she done what she just did. Why did they kiss? They were both panting heavily for air when finally Elizabeth broke the silence.

"I'm sorry." She said though not sure if she meant it. The look on her face was clearly a confused one and one also saying she'd just had the best kiss in her life. Before she could say anymore Jack cut her off.

"No don't be. I shouldn't have." He started knowing he was telling a complete lie and hoped only that she wouldn't slap him.

"That shouldn't have happened." Elizabeth lied telling herself to stop thinking otherwise. She was just hurting from losing Will and then Jack happened to show up and it was a heat of the moment thing. It wasn't like she loved him. Right?

"Yeah so I guess I'll be seeing ye around?" Jack said already heading towards a little rowboat. Hurt written across his face and he was clearly as confused as she was.

"Yeah. Jack wait! How long are you here for?" Elizabeth went over and stood in front of the little boat and could tell that he was in a hurry to get out of there.

"We'll be leavin' tomorrow morn'in." He told her keeping his tone straight.

"So I guess I won't be seeing you around for a while then?" She asked wondering when she would see him again. She couldn't bear the thought of not seeing him for another year or two.

"Don't know when we be comin' back." He said frowning and was ready to leave. When Elizabeth didn't say anything back he started to row out to his ship.

Elizabeth watched him go until she could no longer see the little boat, it had gotten so dark. She turned around and started walking back towards her home, her head hung low and hurt clear across her face. Trying now to let the tears fall she whispered this "Jack please come back soon."

A/N Aye here be another chapter! I hadn't planned on them kissing but when I reread this it just seemed to make since and I made it much longer than it was going to be. Jack's a little hard to write and keep in character, savvy? Hope this chapter was ok! Please review!
