The Cursed Mist : Marooned in Another's Body
By Cmdr. Gabe E.
PART 5 : My Name is Will Turner. Savvy?
++++++++++++++
Jack looked out the same window and raised an eyebrow "So? They ARE the royal navy, right? I say she's better off with them." He looked back at Will and grinned.
"But Jack!!!" Will shouted.
"Well isn't that what you wanted? Her safety? Well she's going to be safe now, Will... Away from the danger and into the hands of that Commodore git. Seriously though, I really feel sorry that she has to marry that man. We know she deserves someone better."
Jack motioned his hand towards himself "Like me ---" and then waved his hand at Will "--- or maybe you --- but the PREVIOUS you. Not the you NOW because it would be like marrying her grandfather --- if you know what I mean."
"Hey!!! I'm not THAT old!!!" Shouted Barbossa.
"Didn't they tell you to shut up before?!!!" Shouted Anamaria as she hit Barbossa's head with a metal plate, knocking him unconscious. "Well he was becoming annoying." She shrugged.
Will leaned closer to Jack "I'm really serious about this, Jack. You're Will now!!! You must stop them!!! I almost lost her once!!! I don't want to lose her forever!!!"
Jack rolled his eyes "First you tell me how much of a pirate I am, and now here you are practically begging me to do you a favor that may cause me my head." Jack looked out of the windows again and started whispering numbers as he counted the number of guards onboard. "Hmmm.not that much. Looks like the navy didn't take the news seriously about us being here."
"Please, Jack." Will begged.
Jack sighed "Fine fine fine!!! But you owe me one, Will."
One of the guards politely turned towards Elizabeth as they escorted her to the upper decks. "We're very happy to know that you're safe, Ms. Swann. Commodore Norrington will be very delighted once we're back in Port Royale."
"Yes.Commodore Norrington..My fiancee" Elizabeth whispered. She couldn't believe she just said that. Back when she was a child, the only person she wanted to marry was Will. But Will was gone now. She didn't even know if the Will she knew still existed.
When she was first abducted by the Black Pearl, the first thing she wanted to do was go home. But now, she just wanted to stay. Stay where the danger and the adventure are. Was it because of the thrill of the ride? Or the thought that she may never really see Will again if she leaves?
But she had no choice now. The navy has come for her, and no one, not even Jack, Will, Mr. Gibbs or Anamaria was there to take her back into the loop.
Jack suddenly burst out of the captain's cabin with a big smile on his face as he looked at Elizabeth and the guards "Dear Elizabeth!!! I see the royal guards have finally found us!"
"Jack?!!!" Elizabeth thought to herself.
"Will Turner! What are you doing here?" One of the guards asked.
Jack started waiving his arm around as he tried to explain their situation. "Well you see, I was actually the one who saved Elizabeth from the Black Pearl. Isn't that right, dear Elizabeth?" He flashed a smile towards the young woman.
"Uhm.yes.Yes Will saved me." Elizabeth said with uncertainty.
"Then how did you come aboard the Interceptor? This was stolen by Jack Sparrow days ago after Miss Elizabeth's abduction!" Asked one of the guards.
"By the way, that's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow! Anyway, speaking of that famous captain, I stole this from him and threw him off board. Lucky for you, you didn't have to confront him yourself. Very skillful fellow. Very good with swords." Said Jack with a smile on his face.
"Er.very well then, Will Turner. So shall you be accompanying us back to Port Royale?" Asked the guard who was beside Elizabeth.
Jack raised his eyebrows as his eyes wandered, thinking of something to say "Um...". He quickly glanced at the window where Will was looking through.. "No. Um.. Actually."
Jack walked towards the guards and slowly wrapped his arm around Elizabeth's shoulder "She also can't come with you." Elizabeth winced a bit at the feel of Jack holding him close to her. Though having him in Will's body made the closeness more tolerable.
With his arm still around Elizabeth, Jack slowly moved her away from the guards while keeping an eye on them. "I'm sorry, my noble fellows. But Elizabeth has to come and stay with us. She's the only one who---er knows how to cook and ---"
One of the guards suddenly unsheathed his sword and pointed it towards Jack. "I'm sorry, but we can't do that, Mr. Turner. We have orders to bring Miss Elizabeth home as soon as she is found. Luck has struck us when we found the Interceptor here. Luck might not help us again."
Jack gulped as he slowly moved Elizabeth farther from the three guards "So.Uh.The Commodore doesn't know that we're here?"
"Well, not yet.But we'll inform him as soon as we set sail for Port Royale." Said the guard who was pointing the sword towards Jack. "I suggest that you come with us. Mr. Turner. The Governor will dearly reward you for saving his daughter."
Jack carefully reached out for the tip of the guard's sword and pointed it downwards "Then maybe you could put the sword down now. After all, I'm the hero here --- you know --- saving Elizabeth and all." He smiled as he pulled his hand back.
Elizabeth moved closer to Jack "I do believe I have to stay. The crew needs me this time and I just can't turn my back on them after what they have done for me."
"But Ms. Elizabeth.." Pleaded one of the guards.
"Tell my father that I'll be home safe and sound after all of this is over. Don't worry, gentlemen. If I need help, I'll immediately call for you."
One of the guards stepped forward. "I'm really sorry, Ms. Elizabeth. But orders are orders. The Commodore will hang us if he finds out that we let you run off with this pirate crew."
"But I have Will with me, see?" Elizabeth smiled and moved even closer to Jack. Jack devilishly grinned at the feeling of Elizabeth's body pressing against his.
"We trust Mr. Turner, Ms. Swann. But we have strict orders to take you home as soon as you are found."
Will stared through the window of the captain's cabin. He can see Jack was saying something to the guards, but he couldn't figure out what he was telling them. Furthermore, Will noticed how physically close Elizabeth was to Jack --- IN HIS BODY!!! He clenched his fist tightly as he turned towards Anamaria who was also looking through the window beside him.
"He really is taking advantage of this situation, isn't he?" He asked with quite of an angry tone to his voice.
Anamaria shrugged "Well you were the one who asked him to do it for you."
Will sighed and turned his attention towards the event on the main deck. He didn't like how things were going. Those guards looked eager to take Elizabeth back. "Come on, Jack. Work your charm." Whispered Will.
Jack positioned Elizabeth behind him "Are you sure we can't arrange something? Anything? Miss Elizabeth really NEEDS to stay."
The guard with the drawn sword stepped closer towards Jack. This time, he pointed the sword at Jack's throat "Look, Mr. Turner. We don't want to hurt you. Orders ARE orders! If you want to keep the ship, fine. But we have to take Ms. Swann back."
Suddenly, ten more royal navy guards marched into the ship, armed with swords.
Jack raised his eyebrows as he saw the armed men "Impressive. I didn't know you had the entire fleet with you just to escort ONE lass." Jack smiled sarcastically.
Will suddenly got a worried look on his face "This is not good! If we don't do anything, they'll take her away and I might not see her again."
Anamaria moved closer to him "Give it up, boy. Your lady is better off away from the sea anyway. She's been through so much already."
The guard placed the tip of his sword against Jack's throat "We've already given you enough time, Mr. Turner. Please --- hand over Ms. Swann now before anyone gets hurt."
Jack gulped as his eyes wandered down to the sword right next to his throat. "Are you REALLY sure you NEED her back? Because I was thinking maybe ----"
The ten guards who just boarded the Interceptor suddenly unsheathed their swords.
"OKAY SHE'S YOURS!!!" Jack suddenly stepped aside and shoved Elizabeth towards the 3 guards who originally escorted her out of the lower decks.
Will suddenly felt angry at the sight of Jack giving up Elizabeth like that. "What the heck does he think he's doing?!!!" He muttered.
"Don't worry just yet. Jack may have a plan." Said Anamaria.
"I can't believe you gave me up that easily, um.Will!!!" Shouted Elizabeth.
Two of the three guards positioned themselves beside Elizabeth as they prepared to escort her off the boat and into their navy vessel.
"Sorry, luv" Said Jack "But I believe it's best that you head back to that lovely Commodore fiancee of yours."
The guards suddenly got a confused look in their faces as they heard Will talking like that, but they just shook the thought away.
Elizabeth growled as she saw Jack smiling at him. "I'm really sorry, dear Elizabeth." Said Jack. "As you can see, I am quite outnumbered and dying isn't a part of our itinerary for today. Reeaaally sorry, luv."
Elizabeth couldn't believe this! She's gone this far and now the only road for her is the one that leads back to the Commodore in Port Royale.
"JACK!!!" She said irritatingly "Do something!!!". Shouted Elizabeth to the figure of Will in front of her.
Jack suddenly started looking around as if searching for something "Huh? Jack? Who's Jack? Do I really look like a Jack to you? I'm Will, remember?"
He smiled mockingly. Jack knew Elizabeth was referring to him. He knew that Elizabeth wanted him to do something. But what could he do? After all, it wouldn't hurt if Elizabeth went back to Port Royale. It's not his loss after all. It's Will's.
Elizabeth glared at Jack as he shrugged with a dumbfounded look in his face, as if saying "Sorry, lass."
"I believe we better get going now, Ms. Swann. This is all for the best. Your father and the Commodore are going to be very pleased to see you safe and sound." The two guards beside her started to escort her off the Interceptor.
"But ---" Elizabeth muttered. She occasionally glanced towards Jack who just stood there looking helpless. Jack looked back at her and the words "I'm sorry." Escaped from his lips as he waved goodbye.
Will felt furious at the sight of his beloved Elizabeth being taken by the guards. "Jack's letting them take her away!!!" Will saw the guards escort her off the boat. And with each second, each fleeting moment, Elizabeth walked farther and farther away from the ship with a dozen guards behind her.
"Dammit!" Will whispered.
Jack turned towards the window where Will was looking through. He shrugged his shoulders and raised his eyebrows apologetically.
Will suddenly burst out through the door of the captain's cabin and walked towards Jack --- fury filling him from his head to his toes. Anamaria and Mr. Gibbs, who were holding onto Barbossa, followed after him.
"You let them take her away!!! I thought you had a plan!!!". He shouted. Will's face was practically inches away from Jack's as he confronted the pirate.
Jack gently pushed Will away from him "Please.not too close. You may still be Will, but your current face is just --- intolerable --- especially now that you have that certain angry look." He said sarcastically sa he narrowed his eyes.
"You let them take her away!!!!!" Will suddenly pushed Jack really hard, making the pirate take a few steps back.
Jack suddenly got a stern look in his face as he straightened himself up. He stared into Will's eyes and walked towards him.
"Look, boy! First of all, Elizabeth is YOUR girl! Not MINE! Second, she's YOUR problem! Not MINE! And third, if you didn't chicken out acting all prissy about your new body ---" Jack stepped right in front of Will and poked the young man's chest "---she'd still be with you right now, wouldn't she? After all, you're practically DEAD!!! You could have easily taken her away from the guards!!!"
"Then what?!! Get caught and sent to prison for kidnapping her?!" Will asked, with a firm tone in his voice.
"What do you mean, then what?!" Jack spun around and walked towards the ledge of the Interceptor as he looked at the open sea. And then he suddenly spun around to face Will again "This is the sea, Will! There are no rules!" Jack started waving his hand around. "If you want to take something, take it!!! If you want to keep something, keep it!!! It's as simple as that!"
"What are you implying?" Asked Will.
"I think he's askin' ye ta get her back yerself, lad." Said Mr. Gibbs.
