The Cursed Mist : Marooned in Another's Body
By Cmdr. Gabe E. Email: gabe_gce@yahoo.com Site: galuade.com
PART 9 : I swam all that way for you
++++++++++++++
"Jack!!! You stole this boat?!" She shouted.
Jack rolled his eyes and grunted. "Ugh!!! Will you people please stop asking me that? There's a reason why I'm called a pirate, you know!!!" Jack pulled Elizabeth after him as the two went up to the main deck and off the ship.
As soon as they reached the docks, Elizabeth quickly pulled her arm away from Jack's grip. "So what now, Captain Jack Sparrow?" She said with a mocking tone in her voice.
"Well, I guess we'll have to wait for your Will to return --- Unless of course if you'd want to run off with me instead. We'd make a pretty good team, you know." Jack smiled and ran a finger down her neck.
Elizabeth quickly slapped Jack's hand away. She turned around and walked a few steps away from him with her arms folded across her chest. "I don't know what you want from Will, Jack. But you can't fool me. For all I know, you may be after the gold yourself."
Jack took a step towards Elizabeth. "Believe me, luv. The gold of Cortes may have tempted me years ago, but after seeing what it did to Barbossa and his crew, I think I'd rather pass.". He then turned around and walked to the edge of the dock, facing the sea before him.
Jack took a deep breath and stared into the distance. "You see, lass. There are some things that are better than gold."
Elizabeth's eyes furrowed as she wondered about what that 'better' thing was. "And that is?" She asked.
Jack threw his arms up in the air and proudly said. "My precious Black Pe--- ". But before Jack could finish his sentence, an arm suddenly shot out of the water and grabbed onto his foot.
"AAAAHHHH!!!!" He cried out as he tried to step away from the edge of the dock. "What in the world?!!!". Jack was again taken by surprise as another hand shot out of the water, this time grabbing onto the edge of the dock's platform.
The man slowly hoisted his upper body out of the water and instantly collapsed on the ground. The man's lower part was still left hanging over the edge as if he didn't have any more energy to pull his entire self out of the water.
"WILL!!!" Cried Elizabeth.
William felt his face and chest hit the floor hard as he collapsed on the dock.
Jack slowly stepped away from Will's hand and looked at Elizabeth. He tilted his head and pointed at the unmoving form below him "See? I told you Will was going to come back."
Will just laid there on his stomach with his eyes closed. He felt his heart beating fast as quick breaths escaped from his lips.
Elizabeth slowly walked towards the wet form that laid on the dock. The only movement that she saw from him was the slow heaving of his back and his shoulders as he breathed hard from exhaustion. Even his eyes were closed, but Elizabeth knew he was still conscious.
The young man felt every part of him aching as he stayed unmoving under the hot sun. He wanted to smile and cherish the feel of being on land again, but he didn't even have the energy to do such.
He just wanted to lay there and rest. But then the thought of Elizabeth filled his mind, and with that, he suddenly felt a soft hand running down his cheek.
"Will?". Elizabeth gently moved some of Will's hair from his face. "William?"
A feeling of comfort came over Will as he heard the voice of his beloved Elizabeth. He was finally with her again. Oh how he wanted to hold her --- and kiss her, but his aching body wouldn't allow him to do so.
Will slowly opened his eyes and turned his head towards the young woman who was kneeling before him. "I'm cold ---" He said faintly. His weak eyes looked back into hers.
Jack saw Will's legs still hanging over the edge of the dock and into the cold sea water. He tilted an eyebrow and looked at Elizabeth "Excuse me, lovesick lass, but perhaps we should get his entire body out of the water FIRST before you get on with your sickeningly sweet reunion?" Said Jack as he positioned himself at the edge of the platform.
"Yes! You're right." Said Elizabeth enthusiastically.
Jack grabbed onto Will's belt and looked towards Elizabeth. "Okay. On the count of three, we'll haul the boy out of the water, okay?"
Elizabeth nodded and held onto the back of Will's clothing.
"Okay.." Jack tightened his grip on Will's belt. "One ---- Two ---- Three!!! GO!!!" Jack pulled as hard as he could and Elizabeth also pulled Will up with all the energy she had. The young woman wrapped her arms around Will's upper body as she pulled on him harder.
Jack grunted as he pulled Will's legs out of water. "Dammit, boy! You better get your old body back fast! Either that, or you're going on a strict diet of sea weeds!"
Will's legs slowly surfaced the water until his entire form was finally hoisted onto the dock.
Jack fell back and sat on the ground as he breathed fast and hard. "Yeap! You're definitely going to go on a diet!" He said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Will felt his entire body under the sun as he continued to lay there. But instead of feeling the floor underneath him, he felt Elizabeth's arms wrapped around his chest as his upper body leaned against her kneeling form.
Everything felt like a dream. He was so tired that nothing seemed real anymore.
".Elizabeth?" He whispered. He just had to know if she was truly there.
Elizabeth looked down on Will's weak form as she gently caressed his cheek. "I'm here, Will. I'm here just like the first time we met." She smiled as her eyes met his.
Will looked away and gently pushed himself off Elizabeth. He focused his energy on his legs as tried to stand up in his weakened state. He felt his shoulders and upper body pulling him down, causing him to swagger a bit, but that didn't stop him from standing up on his own two feet.
Elizabeth slowly stood up too as she kept her eyes on Will. "Will?" She asked with a worried tone in his voice. Did Will still want her away from him? If so, then why did he go through all of that just to have her back? Were they going to go back to playing hide and seek again?
Will finally got his balance and stood up as straight as he could. But despite his proud posture, he was still breathing fast and hard. He towered over her with Barbossa's tall stature. He swept some of his hair off his face and looked at Elizabeth who was standing in front of him.
Oh how he loved looking into her beautiful eyes again. That moment reminded him of the first time he saw her ---- the first time he laid eyes on her ---- That moment 8 years ago when she saved him from a watery death. And now, there they were again. A boy and a girl who've just escaped their own individual fate.
Will didn't know what to say to Elizabeth. He slowly walked towards her and motioned a hand towards the sea as faint words escaped from his lips. "I --- I swam all that way for you.". This time, he held his gaze as he looked into her eyes.
Jack watched the two with interest as he stroked his beard.
Elizabeth took a step towards Will and cupped his cheek with her hand. "I know." She said. She stared back into his misty blue eyes as he found Will inside it. At that moment, she didn't see another man. She didn't see the form of an evil pirate. She saw Will. Will Turner.
"I love you, Elizabeth Swann." He whispered as he slowly motioned his lips towards hers.
Jack's eyes suddenly opened wide with terror as he started waving his arms in protest. "Oh no!!! Don't even dare do it!!! NO no no!!! That is just WRONG, WIll!!!"
"And I love you too, Will Turner." She said as she moved her lips towards his too.
Jack threw his arms up in the air as he started to panic. "Oh god this is just not right!!! THAT IS JUST NOT RIGHT!!! THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! Don't do it!!! AAAAAH!!! This is starting to turn into a nightmare!!! Can't you just wait until all of us are back in our own bodies?!!! This is going to be disgusting!!!" Jack placed his hands over his eyes as he continued to cry out in terror.
Elizabeth's lips were already an inch from Will's when she suddenly turned her head towards Jack's direction. "Jack . Shut up." She smiled and then pressed her lips against Will's.
"OH GOD NO!!!!" Jack cried out and turned away as he covered his eyes with his hands. "Just tell me when you're done kissing! That is just disgusting!!! Oh god!!! Reminds me of the time Gibbs got drunk and started kissing his pigs!!!"
Will felt her soft lips against his as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her close to him. He didn't want to let her go. He just wanted to cherish the moment of feeling her that close to him again. Curse or no curse, he will keep on loving her. For 8 years he had loved her, and he will keep on loving her for a thousand years more.
Elizabeth passionately kissed him back and as she wrapped her arms around his neck. The only thing that echoed in her mind was his name.
Will gently pulled his lips away from her and stared into her eyes. "I'm sorry if I hurt you Elizabeth. I --- I just thought you wouldn't ---".
She gently pressed a finger against his lips as she stared into Will's blue eyes. "You don't need to be sorry about anything, Will. After all, we're together again, right?"
Will couldn't say anything. He wanted to tell her how happy he was that they're finally together again, but the words just drifted in his mind and flooded his every thought. It's as if the happiness he felt couldn't be described by mere words alone. He just smiled at her and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
Jack suddenly appeared beside Will and Elizabeth. "Okay okay!!! Enough of that now!". He gently pushed the two away from each other. "Look, I know we're all happy that Miss Elizabeth is finally back, but we shouldn't forget that we still have a curse to lift here!!! Actually, make that TWO curses to lift!"
Jack turned towards Will and poked the young man's chest. "First of all, look at you! You --- you --- well, you look ugly. Period."
"Hey!" Will said as his eyebrows furrowed.
And then Jack whirled around towards Elizabeth and motioned a hand towards her. "And you, Elizabeth. Well ---" Jack looked at Will and then looked at Elizabeth again. "--- well, your lover is one ugly, undead pirate. Period."
Elizabeth quickly stepped towards Jack. "But I don't care what he looks li-- -"
But Jack cut her off before she could finish her statement "Therefore I believe it's about time that we finally lift THIS curse!!! God, I miss my body!"
Jack placed his hand on the hilt of his sword as he proudly marched towards the bustling streets of Tortuga. But before he could go any further, he stopped in his tracks, lifted an eyebrow, and slowly turned around.
Behind him were Will and Elizabeth still standing on the place where he exactly left them. The two had angry looks on their faces as they stared at Jack.
"Well aren't you two coming along?" He asked. "And what's with the angry look? You two get into another fight again or something?"
Will and Elizabeth looked at each other and sighed. Will took Elizabeth's hand and they both marched pass Jack to the direction of Tortuga's busy streets.
Jack saw the two disappear into the crowd and quickly followed after them "Hey!!! Where do you think you're going?!!! Did I do anything wrong?!! Come back here!!!" He waved his hand in the air and shouted as he pushed his way through the crowded street.
