Hey people! Thanks for all the reviews, I hope you guys are enjoying school
resuming just like me! Not! Anyway, here's ch. 15!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next few days on the ship flew by. Everyone helped during the days on deck. All in all everything was upbeat. Jack and Amera kept giving each other glances, but tried to keep their relationship from everyone as hidden as possible.
Amera filled the crew in on what the treasure was like. From all the stories her father had told her, as well as her uncle, she knew that there was tons and tons of pieces of gold. So the crew was in high spirits.
Also, Will and Elizabeth were closer than ever. One night on the Black Pearl, Amera and Elizabeth had just finished a conversation after dinner and Elizabeth was heading to her cabin.
She opened the door and walked into her room, not even bothering to shut the door. Elizabeth was tired, and didn't notice what was going on until she met with Will's eyes. She gasped in surprise as she gazed at the room. There were candles lit and the place was quite clean.
Will slowly walked up to her, cleaner than usual, he was trying to look his best. Elizabeth gazed at him with a puzzled look, "Will, what's going on?" He just smiled and took both of her hands in his. "Elizabeth, you are the most amazing woman I have ever met. I love you with all my heart, and I can't stand being without you and longer." Will bent down on one knee and looked up into Elizabeth's watering eyes. "Elizabeth, will you marry me?" She gasped and began to cry. "Yes, of course I will!"
Will stood up and hugged her, they laughed happily. Without the couple's knowledge, they were being watched.
Amera was outside the open door, watching them in the shadows. She realized something as she watched the joyful couple hugged and kissed each other. No matter what she did, or how loyal she was, no matter how much she tried, she would never be able to have that relationship with Jack.
~*~*~*~*
The morning air greeted Amera as she stood solemnly at the helm, only a day away from the island that caused her so much pain. Both her father and mother were killed there, by Christopher's father. Oh, Christopher! She had tried to forget about him, but no matter how far she ran, she couldn't escape her fate. She knew he would be there, and she knew something bad would happen.
"Somethin' on your mind luv?" Jack swaggered up to her and stood behind Amera, putting his hands around her waist as she steered. "Just thinking about the island, when we meet up with Christopher and the Prowler." "Ah," Jack said as he pondered.
"Ey, listen to me for a moment Knightly, I'll take care of the curly boy. Leave everythin' up to me!" Amera sighed uncomfortably, "Jack, this is something I have to do. I can't run from this anymore. He is my battle, and I'll fight it alone."
"Aye, I understand, you gotta take care of your problems yourself. But, I'm still goin' with you, in case you need me." Amera turned her head to him sarcastically, "And why would I need you?" She grinned as Jack raised an eyebrow. They leaned in almost kissing until Elizabeth and Will came out from their quarters. Amera spotted them and watched as they laughed and walked to the bow of the ship.
Amera turned to face them and Jack watched her puzzled. Will took Elizabeth's hand and kissed it, and Elizabeth leaned in and kissed him. Earlier Will had told Jack and Amera about the engagement, and Amera acted as if she was surprised by the news. Finally, Amera stopped watching the two and started steering again.
Jack didn't move an inch, he saw Amera's face grow with worry. "What is it? Don't like seein' the two go at it? I don't fancy it meself really-" Then, at that moment, Amera couldn't stand it anymore."God Jack don't you get it? Answer me a question, savvy? Do you think we'll ever have what they have?"
Jack stayed silent, Amera continued. "I mean, have you ever thought about getting married? Or having children? Someday, I might want that; even though I am a bloody pirate!" Jack was very surprised and shocked at all of this, "Hold on Amera! Don't you know who I am? I'm Captain Jack Sparrow! I don't have children, I don't get married or settle down, ever!"
Amera let go of the wheel and looked into Jack's fiery eyes. "Then I guess you don't have me!" She pushed Jack away from her and ran down the stairs and went to her cabin. She didn't come out all day.
