Taken As A Pirate

Chapter 3 Thoughts

Elizabeth's eyes flew open from the dream she had been having. She got up as fast as she could and went over to the window thankful to see it was still nighttime and not the heavy curtains that covered them. It must be really early in the morning though.

Her thoughts were on Jack. She looked out the window and couldn't see any ships at the dock or elsewhere because it was to dark. She made up her mind, getting up and putting some clothes of Will had given her, she quietly got out of the house.

She ran down to the dock and if she looked real hard she thought she could still see the Black Pearl out there and immediately started looking for a way to get to it. She spotted a little rowboat in the corner of her eye, much like the one Jack had used earlier.

She looked around to see one guard out there and he was sleeping. She quietly made her way to the little boat trying hard not to make any noise or step on any loose, or noise bearing wood.

Once to the boat she quickly got in and untied it from the dock and then started rowing over towards the Pearl.

Why am I doing this? Is it just to get my father angry or just because of what happened earlier? What about Will, what if he's still alive? I can't believe that I'm doing this. Jack comes back and suddenly I'm feeling what I felt with Will only. Better. Maybe its got to do with him being a pirate? Maybe its got to do with him being free? I don't know and I wish I did.

She was pulled out of her thoughts as she looked up and saw she was almost there. She got right up beside the boat and saw a rope hanging down. Surely Jack wouldn't have left it there on purpose? Maybe he left it there so incase I guy fell off during the night he could get back up?

She quickly latched onto it and used all her strength to climb up. Never thinking she would be doing this in her lifetime. When she was about half way she started growing tired but held on tightly and made it to the top. Stopping to make sure nobody was watching over the ship early in the morning she was very quiet.

She sat down once she climbed over the railing and just sat there for a few minutes trying to gain the strength to get back up. She closed her eyes for a minute and then opened them when she heard footsteps. She quickly got up not wanting to be seen, at least not yet.

When she saw the faint light of a candle flicking in the air she moved to hide behind a door that was open. She was between the wall and the door and looked through the crack to see Gibbs standing there looking around. He didn't bother looking off the ship thankfully otherwise he would have seen the little boat.

She watched as he walked back past her blowing out the candle and retreating back to his room to go to sleep she thought.

Once she couldn't here his footsteps anymore she moved from her hiding spot and back into the open as quietly as she could. Looking over the side down to the water that still shined brightly. She smiled then looked back to the dock. Nobody had noticed the little boat was gone. Yet.

She moved to the front of the boat and stood there being quite still and quiet.

"Don't ye know sneaking up on a pirate ship is very dangerous?" She heard a very familiar voice say. Apparently Mr. Gibbs had woken Jack up, or he had already been up and had been watching her.

"Jack." Elizabeth said turning around to face him. They were almost as close as they were back on the dock earlier.

"What are ye doing here?" He asked with no emotion at all.

"I want to go with you." Elizabeth told him quietly so that hopefully nobody else would wake.

Oh boy what have I got myself into did I just say I wanted to go with him? I know that's the whole reason for coming out here but.

"No tis' to dangerous for som'body like yerself to be here." He told her matter of fact.

"Jack please I want what you have." She begged with him, deciding she might as well fight for it. This would be her only chance out here.

"What do I 'ave luv?" He asked his lips forming a smirk.

"Freedom." Was all she had to say. She knew Jack loved his freedom and was hoping know he'd let her stay, for she felt the same way as him. Also she knew the risks of being on the ship with him.

Jack stood still thinking about if for a moment of two. He scratched his head with his hand and then moved closer to Elizabeth so that his lips weren't to far was her ear.

"A pirate ship is no place fer such a fine lady like yerself ta be," he whispered and she formed a small frown but continued to listen to him "but under the circumstances Elizabeth I think I'll make an exception."

Elizabeth smiled and tried not to think of how close they were and how his breath felt against her ear. It tickled a bit.

"Thank you Jack." She told him when he moved to stand a little further from her.

"Yer quite welcome luv but under one condition." He said holding up a finger.

"What's that?" She asked hoping that she wouldn't hate it.

"If we start getting attacked by that governor guy you come back here I don't want to in trouble. Much." He said smirking and she slowly nodded her head agreeing.

"We'd better get to bed luv." He told her taking her hand in his and they both smiled.

"Where am I going to sleep?" She asked warily and started to follow him when he started walking.

"In me cabin." He said stopping for a moment to look back at her.

"No Jack really I don't think." She stuttered not sure of what to say.

"I'll be out 'er luv no worries ye be sleepin' be yerself. I have to make sure everything's ready before we leave." He said leading her back to his cabin.

She smiled thinking to herself that this was going to be one very interesting trip.
