I would just like to state that I own nothing! I live in a box that I borrowed!

Hidden Feelings.

A few days later Natalie was on deck leaning on the side of the ship and staring out to sea. She hadn't spoken a word since she'd been on the ship and she was beginning to fell lonely and extremely home sick.

" Ya talking today luv?" asked Jack as he came to stand beside her.

" Where's Will?" she realised she was being rude but she figured he'd be home sick as well and he would be missing Elizabeth

" Ahh poor Will! He's locked in his room. That bastard Norrington 'ad Elizabeth killed an' now Will's grievin'!" Jack spat as he said Norringtons name and he lent on the side staring blankly at the water.

" That's awful!" shouted Natalie causing a few crewmembers to stare at her as if she were mad.

Maybe I am mad! She thought. I did rescue a bloodthirsty pirate!

" Aye she was a decent lass that Elizabeth! And tough as nails to! 'times I think she was tougher than Will!" He looked into the middle distance and a faint smile crossed his lips as if he were remembering something.

"Well I gotta go' stuff ta do." Mumbled Jack as he stalked away.

" When he said stuff ta do he men' drinken' rum," the woman stood beside Natalie laughing, " he hasn' got drunk in days outta respect for Elizabeth but I reckon its 'bout time! I'm Anna-Maria the only other lass on this godforsaken ship." As she said it she glanced around the ship smiling. Then without another word she turned and left. Natalie looked up as she heard approaching footsteps, it was jack coming back with a full bottle of rum in each hand.

" Thanks fer savin' me luv," he said after several swigs of rum, " I gotta ask though ya not really pregnant are ya?"

" No! Of course not! I've never slept with you in my life!" shouted Natalie indignantly.

" Is tha' an invitation?" asked Jack raising his eyebrows but Natalie just glared at him.

" Just thought a would ask." Said Jack innocently. As he walked away he took another swig of rum, he was beginning to sway again. Natalie stared at his arse as he walked and found herself thinking,

It wouldn't be all bad if I have to stay.

She gasped and started blushing at the thought. Besides he'd never go for her, he was only interested in one-night stands.

And I'm not interested in him! She told herself as she continued to stare.

Anna-Maria tried not to laugh as she watched Natalie stare at the captain. She new something great was going to happen.

Natalie knocked tenderly on the warped wooden door and waited.

" Who is it?" grumbled Will from somewhere inside.

" It's me, Natalie." She said. " Can I come in?"

" Yes alright." Replied Will. She pushed open the door and stepped inside, the room was almost empty except for a small wooden table and chair and a bed that Will was lying on.

" Are you ok?" asked Natalie realising that it was a stupid question.

Of course he's not ok! She shouted at herself.

At first he didn't seem to notice her but then,

" I fought monsters for her." He whispered. Natalie looked at him and saw glistening tears in his eyes.

" I better go." Mumbled Natalie as she turned to go.

" Are you leaving?" asked will as if he hadn't heard her.

" Er yes... look, any thing I say is gonna sound stupid and pathetic so I Should just leave." She replied.

" OH ok," Natalie was about to shut the door when Will said, " you know I don't think you could say something stupid."

Well that was unexpected! Thought Natalie blushing. She closed the door and walked out on deck feeling very confused.

" We're goin' to Totuga!" shouted Jack bursting into Natalie's room a week later.

" Don't you ever knock?" asked Natalie groaning.

" Wha'? Oh eh sorry but we're goin' to Totuga!" Jack looked confused for a second but soon regained hi smile.

" So I heard," grumbled Natalie, " but why?" Jack walked towards her swaying and knocking things over as he went.

Christ! Can't he ever walk straight! Thought Natalie in dismay.

" 'Cos I'm bored and I wanna look for treasure." Jack looked and sounded like a little kid. He sat down next to her on the bed. He quickly lost his upset schoolboy look.

" Unless ya can think of some other way tu keep me entertained!" Jack lent towards her and raised his eyebrows but she pushed him away.

" Tortuga's fine Jack." She replied. He gave her a look and she giggled. He leaned closer and put his hand on her cheek.

" I seam tu remember likin' tha' kiss I gave ya the other day when ya saved me." Jack whispered in her ear and Natalie's heart started to beat faster. Of course she remembered it was brilliant but she decided to pretend she wasn't bothered by any of this.

" Maybe when you're sober." She laughed.

Like that's ever gonna happen.

" Oh fine!" Jack got up and walked out banging into the doorframe as he went.

When they finally reached Tortuga Will had begun to come out of his room and Jack was even more drunken and crazy as ever.

" Right luv. I want ya tu stay on the ship! It's to dangerous if ya don' no wha' ya doin'." He tried to stand upright in his drunken state but only succeeded in making himself fall over. Natalie helped him up and tried not to remember how his hand felt when he had touched her cheek.

" Ta luv ya always helpin' me out." He winked and then left.

Why does he always act like nothings happened between us?! She thought angrily. Even though she was not allowed to leave the ship she was never alone. The crewmembers came and went and there was always someone besides Natalie on board. She suspected that jack had told them to keep an eye on her.

What like I'm gonna break the ship or something! She thought huffily right before she knocked over a crate. For most of the day she just sat and watched the waves gently lap the side of the ship and was starting to get extremely bored and was glad when Will came over to talk to her.

" Home sick?" he asked after a couple of minutes of silence.

" I was but I got used to it." She sighed looking at Will.

" That's good. I'm starting to fell a little better but I don't think I'll ever love another woman as much as I loved Elizabeth." He stared out to sea but Natalie could tell is handsome brown eyed were wet with tears. She grabbed his hand.

" Don't say that!"

" Why not? It's true." He glanced down at Natalie's hand and a strange look crossed his face.

" I... er ... I better go." Will dropped her hand as if it would bite her then turned and fled to his cabin.

What is going on? What's wrong with the men on his ship? Natalie asked herself as she stared after Will, a strange feeling in her stomach.

When it got dark Natalie headed towards her cabin but stopped when she saw Jack.

" You're back then?" she asked.

Duh state the obvious! She mentally cursed herself.

" Aye, we thought we could 'ave more fun 'ere!" he gave the woman he was with a little squeeze.

" Oh ok." Natalie felt very strange.

" You're welcome tu join us eh luv."

" Jack!"

" Just askin'." Jack and the woman left with Jack nearly falling over several times.

Natalie tried to get to sleep that night but all she could hear was Jack and that slutty woman so she went up on deck. She wiped her cheek as she realised she was crying.

What's wrong with me? She thought. Am I jealous?

" Couldn't sleep either?" asked Anna-Maria sitting down next to her, " bloody 'ell what's wrong?" she asked as she noticed the tears running down Natalie's cheeks.

" Nothing." Said Natalie wiping her eyes with the back of her hand but just as she said it the woman Jack was with left smiling and Natalie started sobbing.

" You like the cap'n don't ya?"

" Oh I don't know! I'm so confused!" cried Natalie.

" I think he likes you ya no." said Anna-Maria.

" Hardly! He only likes slutty girls and one night stands."

" Aye you'd be surprised lassie." And with that she got up and left.

In the morning they set sail.

" Where are we going?" Natalie asked Gibbs.

" The cap'n 'as 'eard of some treasure on an island called Death Island." he leaned in closer and raised his voice at the last two words. He was obviously trying to scare her.

" Death Island," she sneered, " how original!" Natalie walked away rolling her eyes.

" So where are we really going?" she asked Anna-Maria.

" Didn't Gibbs tell you? We're goin' to a place called Agore Island."

Natalie woke up the next day and quickly got dressed. She had managed to avoid Jack the day before and if she left her cabin early enough he wouldn't be able to corner her. She still hadn't worked out how she out how she felt about him and until she did she didn't want to talk to him.

" You look as good as I feel." said Will coming to stand next to her.

" Thanks." she said sarcastically.

"Sorry."

" It's alright. It's just I haven't had much sleep lately."

" I bet Jack and that woman kept you up the other night." laughed Will. It was the first time she had seen Will laugh since Elizabeth died but she didn't find it very funny.

" Oh... yeah... Jack." she said turning away.

" What's wrong?" asked Will pulling her round to face him.

" Nothing." Natalie was annoyed with herself as she realised there were more tears in her eyes.

As if I didn't cry enough the last two nights! she scolded herself.

" You and Jack never really slept together did you?" asked Will shocked.

" NO! Of coarse not! It's just that..." her voice trailed off and she had no choice but to hurry away.

" Because you love him." Will whispered as he watched her disappear round the corner.

Natalie turned the corner and banged straight into someone.

" Watch it luv!" shouted Jack waiving his arms around.

Well I managed to avoid him all of ten minutes! she thought angrily to herself.

" Oh sorry." she mumbled staring into his black eyes.

" Look luv 'ave ya been avoidin' me?" he asked with a worried look upon his rugged face.

" No of course not." she said staring at her feet.

I could have made that a bit more believable! she told herself.

" Well Anna-Maria said I should talk to ya." Natalie glared at him. She was starting to get angry, he couldn't even work out for himself that she was mad at him! What was the point of being mad at him if he didn't even know!

" Arrh!" she screamed, " I wish everyone would leave me alone!" Natalie stormed off leaving a very drunk and very confused Jack.

He deserved that! she thought but she couldn't manage to convince herself.

Later that day there was a knock on Natalie's door.

" Leave me alone Jack." she moaned burying her head in the soft pillow.

" It's Will."

Oh god! I can't take much more of this!

" Will, come in." He came in and sat on the side of her bed.

" I'm going to say something and I don't want you to interrupt until I'm finished. Right." he asked fiddling with her bedclothes and avoiding eye contact.

" Um... okay."

" I know you like Jack and you're making a huge mistake. Don't get me wrong I trust Jack with my life but I think you could do better," he looked into her eyes, " if you know what I mean."

Oh no! Natalie gave a mental groan. Even as he was saying it she felt a pang in her heart. This can't be happening! First I like Jack and now Will! Natalie felt like screaming. Again.

" I... I... I don't know what to say." she stuttered looking everywhere but at Will.

" Am I interruptin' somethin'?" Jack asked from the door. Natalie turned to face him expecting him to be grinning but instead he looked hurt and angry.

" No. You were both just leaving." she said.

" We're all leavin'." he said starting to get his grin back.

"What?"

" We're 'ere, we're at Agore Island."
