Chapter 12~ "Do I Really Love Him?"
Natalie walked back into the trees as quickly as she could. Night had fallen and the island was actually growing colder. She could barely even see where she was walking. She suddenly slammed straight into someone and fell backwards. "Love, that you?" the voice said.
"Jack?" she asked.
"No, it's Barbossa. Of course it's me!" he said as he extended his hand to her. She gracefully took it and got to her feet. She could see Jack smiling through the darkness and led him back to the beach. Just as Elizabeth had planned, there was a bonfire. Natalie smiled and sat down in the sand. Jack sat beside her and placed both bottles of rum on the ground. "Change your mind, love.or are ye still mad at me?" he asked.
"I'm not mad, Sparrow," Natalie replied as she picked up a bottle and uncorked it. She took a large swig of rum. The liquid burned the back of her throat and she was beginning to feel sick. It was absolutely disgusting. "Love, I thought ye didn't drink."
"Well, Jack.I am tonight," Natalie replied, taking another drink. A huge grin spread across Jack's face and he quickly picked the other bottle and took a humongous drink. He was completely unaffected and started drinking quickly. "Drink up me hearties, yo ho," Natalie said under her breath.
"What was that?" Jack asked.
"Just a song that I learned a long time ago when I thought it would be exciting to meet a pirate," Natalie said. She hated saying what Elizabeth told her to say. She wanted to say what her heart told her. Unfortunately, if she did, the plan might not work. "Let's hear it," the pirate said.
"No."
"Come on, we've got the time. Let's have it," he replied.
"No. I'd have to have a lot more to drink." Jack smiled and took a swig of rum before looking at Natalie. When he did, he saw her smiling too. "How much more?" he asked. Natalie gave a suggestive smile.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hours later, Jack and Natalie were dancing around the fire, singing what Elizabeth had said to sing:
"We're devils and blacksheep and really bad eggs, Drink up me hearties, yo ho! Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!"
"I love this song!" Jack shouted as he ran over to Natalie and entangled his arm with hers. They both swung around in circles and laughed. "Really bad eggs.woo." Jack trailed off as he fell back onto the sand. Natalie plopped down next to him and smiled. "When I get the Pearl back, I'm gonna teach it to the whole crew, and we'll sing it all the time."
"And you will be positively the most fearsome pirates in the Spanish Maine," Natalie said in a drunken voice. She was playing the part of Elizabeth Swann. All she had to do was remember the movie and everything would be perfect. "Not just the Spanish Maine, love," Jack said in a seductive voice, "The entire ocean.the entire world. Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is ye know. It's not just a keel, a hull, and a deck, and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is, what the Black Pearl really is.is freedom."
Natalie listened intently to Jack. He was so passionate about his Pearl, the love of his life. She had watched this part of the film so many times and knew how he would react to every line that she memorized. What am I doing? she asked herself. "This is what Elizabeth would do. I'm doing this my way," she whispered to herself. Luckily, Jack was too drunk to hear her. "Jack, it must have been really terrible for you to be trapped on this island," Natalie said as she nuzzled up against his body.
"Oh yes, but the company is infinitely better than last time," he replied with a slur, wrapping his arm around Natalie's shoulder, "And the.um.the scenery has definitely improved." This was where Natalie would have to make a choice. She could either finish off the part or change and bend it to her will. "Mr. Sparrow, I'm not entirely sure I've had enough rum to allow that kind of talk."
"I know exactly what you mean, love," Jack said as he fixed his moustache and reached a hand behind Natalie's head like he was going to kiss her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Elizabeth watched from a distance. She had the rum and the food hidden in the shadows of the trees. She was patiently waiting for Natalie to finish this and make Jack pass out, which wasn't too far away.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Natalie immediately pressed her lips to Jack's. He pulled her closer and ran his arms up and down her back, finally stopping at her waist.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What the hell is she doing? That wasn't part of the plan!" Elizabeth yelled to herself.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Natalie felt as if she had finally floated up to Cloud Nine. This man.a pirate.was unbelievable. His tongue began to run over her lips, pleading for entrance to what was beyond. Natalie, however, thought it would be fun to "play" a little first. She refused to let his tongue enter. Jack was very persistent and kept trying. Unfortunately, it wasn't working on her. He pulled away for a moment and stared deep into her blue eyes, which in the firelight looked sea-green.a bright sea-green. "You are so beautiful," he slurred.
"Thanks," Natalie said, resting her head on his shoulder. Jack pulled one of her sleeves off her shoulder and gently kissed and nipped at her neck and collarbone. Natalie quietly moaned and relaxed against Jack. When she lifted his chin to meet his gaze, he passed out onto the sand. Natalie felt disappointed, but then stood up abruptly. She took a stick from the fire and used it as a torch as she stormed off into the palm trees.
She finally reached a small water source in the center of the island and sat down, shoving her torch into the ground. She looked into the water at her reflection and sighed. "What's wrong with me?" she asked herself, "What did he do to me?" Natalie lay back on the ground and stared up at the tall trees. Quietly she began to sing:
"Sometimes it's hard when you're so deep inside
To see all you can lose in a blink of an eye
Dreams could be shattered
You could be gone
How would I survive?
Cause you're where I belong
My soul-believer
Without you, I don't know who I would be"
Natalie sat up and looked back into the water. She ran her fingers along the top and then stood up, leaning against a tree behind her.
"Underneath, I can feel you move through me
Inside out, you surround me
I breathe you like I'm taking my last breath
Oh, you're everything I know
So how could I let you go?"
She strolled out to the edge of the island and looked out at the water under the pale moonlight. It was so breathtakingly beautiful. It was like the many dreams she had in her old life.
"Sometimes I listen to a voice that isn't mine
I disconnect from everything inside
And I have made choices
And wasted all the days
I could have been with you
Where my heart stayed
I know you've waited faithfully
Blessing our love even stronger"
As Natalie continued to sing, her voice was growing louder and the wind was starting to blow. The waves crashed silently against the shore and Natalie walked out toward it so the water would come up to her ankles.
"Underneath, I can feel you move through me
Inside out, you surround me
I breathe you like I'm taking my last breath
Oh, you're everything I know
So how could I let you go?"
Thoughts of Jack began to swarm through Natalie's mind. There was something about him that she really couldn't explain that made him so special. Was it the dreadlocks? Was it the smell of rum and the sea that she smelt when she got close to him? Was it his embrace? Was it his kiss? These were all questions that Natalie couldn't answer. Jack had done something to her.
"And I've been blessed
For every kiss
For every breath
How could I let you down?
And I've been touched,
By hands I trust
My love is risen"
Natalie continued to sing and didn't even notice that Elizabeth had crept up behind her and was listening intently.
"Underneath, I can feel you move through me
Inside out, you surround me
I breathe you like I'm taking my last breath
Oh, you're everything I know
So how could I let you?
How could I let you go?"

Natalie took a deep breath and then turned around. She jumped back in surprise and fell into the water when she saw Elizabeth standing there. "Thinking about Jack, are you?"
"What?" Natalie asked.
"You're thinking about Jack," Elizabeth said as she walked into the water and helped Natalie stand up.
"What are you talking about?" Natalie asked dumbfounded.
"Stop playing dumb. I heard you singing about him. I even saw you kiss him.and this time YOU made the move."
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Natalie said as she walked back into the trees and found her torch. She then walked back to their little campsite and saw Jack lying on his back, sound asleep. Well, he passed out, but that's close enough. Natalie threw the stick back into the fire and sat down next to Jack. She then lay down next to him and cuddled up against him like he was a teddy bear. He smelled so good to her. "What am I thinking?" she asked herself, "I don't like Jack. It was a business kiss.a plan. Then, why did I do this my own way? Do I really love him?"
