Sess: Py? *looks at rustling pile of books* Come out.
Py: *continues to skim books* No. Can't come out. Finals. Evil. Fail. Fail. FAIL!!!
Sess: *rolls eyes* Ok, but that'll disappoint your reviewers.
Py: *winces but continues to skim*
Sess: An' Jacque's day will get worse (she almost broke her nose today in a rather violent basketball game)
Py: *shrugs*
Sess: I won't buy you the rights to PotC.
Py: You weren't going to unless I blackmailed you.
Sess: Fine. *walks over to Py, picks up all notebooks and textbooks, and throws them out the window*
Py: What?!? *tries to go after books*
Sess: *grabs Py, drags her to computer, drops her into a chair, and locks arms around Py's waist*
Py: *smiles* Ok, fine. A short chapter. Thanks Sess *nuzzles Sess*
Slightly Hazy
Chapter 10: Morriras
It's one of the few times that you're allowed to awake peacefully as your senses awaken in layers. The first thing you notice is how warm and comfortable you are. Smiling contently, you nestle deeper into the pillows, only to feel a slight increase of pressure on your stomach. Opening your eyes, you lazily look down to find that Jack's hand is sprawled across the pale skin of your stomach. During the night, his arm had somehow wrapped itself around your waist while your head rested on his chest. You glance up at his face to find him still asleep, and snoring slightly in a way that can only be described as adorable. He seemed so carefree, even in his sleep. You feel your eyelids drooping, being lulled back to sleep by Jack's rhythmic breathing, and you close your eyes in an attempt to return to sleep.
Thump.
Alarmed, you sit up suddenly and scan the room and a bemused smile creeps onto your face seeing Will lying on the floor, rubbing his head. You hear a groan from beside you and realize that you'd waken Jack when you sat up.
"Mornin'." You say with a yawn as you attempt to get up.
"Hn." Jack grunts as he refastens his arm around your waist and lays back down on the bed in an attempt to go back to sleep.
"Jack." You say as you turn around to look at him; his eyes closed and pretending to be fast asleep. He simply smiles and pulls you closer, holding you for a moment before reluctantly opening his eyes.
"Let's just stay here. If you're bored, I can think of a few things to do to occupy our time." He says as his hand begins to trace circles on your stomach.
"Jack," You say with a slight giggle in your voice; hey, you were ticklish. "We have to go down to the docks, right. To go after the Pearl?"
His eyes glaze over with a faraway look and he looks as if you've forced him to make a difficult decision.
"Plus," You add as you glance down at Will. "Young William here'll probably be emptyin' his stomach onto the floor if we don't get 'im to move."
Jack sighs in defeat and pouts as he allows you to sit up and grab your boots and effects from the floor, mumbling something along the lines of "Blasted eunuch.ruinin' me fun."
You smile and flip your head as you retie your black bandanna over your unruly hair. After you've securely fastened your leather belt, donned your precious red sash, and checked that the various hidden daggers among your person were fastened, you walk out of the room, yelling to Jack that you'll meet him in an hour at the docks an' not to torture Will too much.
*
You sigh deeply as you munch on a pear and head toward the eastern part of town, toward your apartment. You hope that Violet and Storm are still around, although you know that catching those two during the day is near impossible. Plus, you had to pick up whatever had undoubtedly been left for you by Maru. You turn into an alley, not paying attention to where you're going, knowing that you know these parts well and could find your way from anywhere. You come upon a dead end and, after a moment, hoist yourself up over the boarded wall and into the next yard. You land with a smooth roll, and walk through the attached house, your hands grabbing a ruby ring lying on the counter of their own accord. You slip it on your finger and walk out the door and onto the street, listening to the familiar sounds of your home; teenager's laughter, old men snoring on their decks, women yelling obscenely at each other, someone calling your name. wait, you turn and look around to find a young boy, no older than fourteen, calling your name.
"Nat?" You ask, barely recognizing the lad, who'd grown at least five inches since you'd last seen him. Suddenly, you notice his eyes darting around the crowd and his hasty, but restrained walk to you. "What's wrong, lad?"
"Storm sent me." He said and you look at him intently; Storm trusts Nathan and would only send him if there was goin' to be trouble. "There's some guy who's callin' himself Cap'n Morriras an' he's lookin' fer you. Violet's in there tryin' to hold him off, but he somehow heard that you're in town an' is currently tearin' apart your room."
You groan, Cap'n Morriras was probably one of the few men who could easily kill you in a swordfight and he happened to be the one Captain in Tortuga who was after your head. "Thanks Nath," You say, lookin' down at the sandy- haired boy in front of you. "Give Storm an' Violet my regards an' make sure that all three of ye are there when I get back."
With that, you turn and begin to sprint down the street, but not before you hear Violet scream your name.
"Run!" She yells as she sticks her head out the window. "Run like hell!"
Oh no, you take it that Morriras has made it out of the house an', knowing your luck, is probably less than five feet away from you. You turn to run, but stop when you hear Nath's painful cry. You find his arm slashed and his throat is being held in place by the cutlass of a rather dirty pirate.
"Let him go!" You yell, slowly moving your hand to the back of your belt. "He's got nothing to do with this."
"Orders is orders, poppett." He says with a sneer.
"Your loss." Is the only warning he has before you fling one of your daggers at him. "Nat, get to Violet!" You yell to him and enter the nearest house.
As you exit from the second door, you hear footsteps thundering behind you and begin to frantically sprint. You turn sharply into an alley, only to find that it's a dead end. Swearing to your self, you begin to scale the wall, but are jerked back to the ground when a hand encircles your ankle. Looking up, you find yourself looking at the scarred face of Morriras.
"Hello lass," He says, his cutlass an inch away from your throat. "Ye know, with all runnin' ye were doin', it seems that ye were avoidin' me."
"Avoid you? Never."
* A/N: Yeah, it's endin' there. I know it's a short chapter- but TOO BAD!
Sess:*growls*
Py: I wrote them a chapter, didn't I?
Sess: fine, but you better give them an extra long one next week.
Py: of course I will, when my bloody finals are over!
Next Chappie: Well, we get to have a bit of a conflict with Morriras, an' then it's back to Jack to find the Pearl. I mean Lizzie and Jacque ^.~
By the way, so far I have 2 votes for Will/Lizzy and 2 vites for Will/Jacque.
REVIEW RESPONSES:
Twisted: You are forgiven for your evil stunt, although you may continue to bow before me ^.^
StoryTellerJS: It seems that everybody has a friend like Jacque, so they like her. You have the Inuyasha episodes 1-126? *jaw drops and tears well up* I'm so poor I can't buy any an' can't download anything on my computer! I'm so jealous. Have you seen any of the movies? Yeah, the contest already ended, but. here. *gives StoryTellerJS shiny new cutlass and an inu plushie* Hope you like!
Ginny W: Sorry, but this is a You/Jack fic. The parings question was for either lizzy/will or Jacque/will
Stacey Lofton: Thanks, I feel loved. ^.^ You're right, you can NEVER watch Pirates of the Caribbean too many times! *big ass grin*
Anna: Another Inuyasha fan, yay! You may love Sesshomaru, but I love him more and he lives with me! But maybe I'll send him over to you for a visit ^.~
Sess: *growls* Stop talking about me like I'm a toy *sees Py's evil
grin* never mind.
Bonnie Lass: Thanks, I'll need all the luck I can get. If the votes turn out to be Will/Jacque, Norrington will get Lizzie.
Cryptic Storm: Thanks. Hey, I did update, although it's not very long. I hope you can forgive me *puppy eyes*
Sida: Me too, as soon as I saw the deleted scenes, I knew that I was gonna use that scar in my fic- it's too good to pass up.
Bluelady198: *pulls rotten fruit from hair* You still have 2 weeks?!? Grr.*grabs own rotton fruit and throws* Yes, Sess is back! *massive fangirl glomp* Even I don't want to know what Will is thinking, although I'm sure Jacque does .^.~ Sorry this is so short, an' thanks for the luck on my finals, I hope it helps.
Also, thanks to igleb, DaydreamBeliever14, Queen of Faeries1, moonygirl13, a fan, and Cx for reviewing!
