Slightly Hazy
Chapter 24: Try
"Why, hello Commodore." You say with a grimace as you climb over the side onto the Interceptor to find the familiar face glaring at you.
"Hello mate," Jack says as he comes aboard and steps in front of you to clasp the Commodore on the shoulder. "Now,-"
"Clap them in irons." Norrington orders as he shoves Jack's hand off his shoulder with distain. "And lock them in the brig."
Before you or Jack can even draw your cutlasses, you find yourselves staring at the end of about twenty bayonets.
"Well," You say to Jack as one of Norrington's men roughly shoves your wrists into a rather uncomfortable pair of shackles. "It seems as if we won't be sleepin' in the Captain's quarters, then."
Jack smiles at you as you are dragged down below deck towards the brig, smiling as you hear Jacque begin to shout at the Commodore.
"Commodore Norrington," Jacque says, livid. "You can't do that! They helped rescue Elizabeth and I, not to mention that they're the reason that we were able to rescue Will and destroy Barbossa for good!"
"Miss Emerson," Norrington says with a stern voice as he looks down at her. "I can and will do as the law dictates and will punish them as is fit when we return to Port Royal. Regardless of their so called acts of heroism, they are still two pirates who have terrorized and robbed English vessels and must therefore be punished."
"I refuse to allow you to do that, Commodore!" Jacque yells as Will places a restraining hand on her shoulder. "They don't deserve that fate and you know it!"
"It's true," Will says, agreeing with Jacque. "They're good people, regardless of their profession and they don't deserve to be punished for going out of their way to rescue us- something you did not attempt."
"Mr. Turner, Miss Emerson," Norrington says sharply. "If you two do not change your current course the two of you will be detained as well until our return to Port Royal. Mr. Turner, you do realize that, although the Governor granted you clemency, you are walking a very fine line and are close to forcing me to nullify his declaration. And, you, Miss Emerson," He says looking down at Jacque as he detects a small amount of fear in her eyes. "You surely do not wish to be one of the contributing factors in Mr. Turner's detainment, do you?"
"I.." Jacque starts, but glances at Will in a loss of words.
"We understand, Commodore," Will says as he lightly pushes the small of Jacque's back, gently leading her away. "We will not do anything rash."
*
"You know, luv," Jack says casually as he settles himself in the corner of the cell. "We've been in far too many cells recently."
"Yes," You say as you blush slightly, remembering what happened the last time you were stuck in this position with Jack. "But you've at least been spared one more trip than I. You got to lounge about on an island drinking rum while I was stuck in a cell with a depressed Will."
"You were locked in with the whelp? What..." Jack trails off as he looks at you strangely for a moment. "How did you know that there was rum on the island? I know I never told you..."
You gulp as you realize that that must have been one of the obscure facts that you'd remembered from the movie, but apparently you've become unable to distinguish the movie from the real experience. 'Great', you think to yourself, 'why can't I remember something useful, like how it ends?'
"Luv?" Jack questions, looking intently at you, snapping you out of your thoughts. "I'm waiting."
"I don't know." You finally answer.
"I don't believe that, luv." Jack says as he moves closer to you, his kohl lined eyes still boring into yours.
"That's too bad." You say as you back up slightly before smirking up at him. "Don't you know that curiosity killed the cat?"
"Sure luv," Jack says as he smirks back at you and leans in to whisper in your ear. "But satisfaction brought it back."
Unable to hold it in, you let out a small laugh, knowing that that's Jack's way of saying that he won't pry, for now, but that he intends to get it out of you eventually. Smiling up at Jack as he pulls away from you, you impulsively kiss him, pulling away quickly before he has time to react and laughing at the slightly shocked expression on his face as you sit down on the floor.
"Well, at least this ship isn't leaking." You comment as Jack sits down next to you and looks at you with an expression that's somewhere between a frown and a pout.
"Now, that wasn't very nice." He says and swiftly tilts your head up and claims your lips with his quicker before you even comprehend what he's doing.
Mentally, sighing, you find your arms have snaked their way around his neck and are currently tangled in his hair as you tilt your head back slightly, allowing Jack to deepen the kiss as you focus your energy completely on the current task, attempting to forget everything but the feeling of his lips on yours. Your lips part slightly as he nibbles on them and you grant his tongue entrance to your mouth, loosing yourself as your tongue slips out to duel passionately against his. Far too quickly for your liking, you feel your lungs begin to burn from lack of air, and softly pull your lips away from Jack's, opening your eyes to find his beautiful chocolate ones staring hazily back at you.
You hear a thud from above the deck and are snapped back down to reality as you look up towards the small shaft of light streaming down from above deck. Silently cursing whatever oaf caused something to fall on deck for ruining the moment, you turn back to Jack, and smile softly at him. Sighing, you rest your head against his chest and his chin settles on your forehead and his arm wraps protectively around your waist as yor eyes close and you place your hand over his, feeling safe and content in his arms as you drift into unconsciousness.
*
"What do you mean we're not going to do anything?" Jacque asks after she reaches the lower deck. "We can't just leave them."
"Shh," Will says as he comes up next to Jacque and forces her to look into his eyes. "I know that we can't leave them to die, but if we are to do any good, we mustn't allow Norrington to see how determined we are to help."
"But what can we do?" Jacque asks, tears forming in her eyes. "After all they've done for us, it just seems so unfair that we can't do a thing to help them!"
"Nobody said life was fair." A voice says softly from behind Jacque, and she turns around to find Elizabeth. "But nobody said we have to fight fair."
"Elizabeth," Will says and Jacque's eyes narrow slightly with a bolt of jealously. "It's good to see you're alright."
"Yes, well, I wasn't the one in danger." Elizabeth says with a hint of resentment in her voice. "My father ordered that the soldiers bind my hands and lock me in the Captain's cabin, so I wasn't even able to put myself in any danger."
"You too?" Jacque asks, a little unsure of where she and Elizabeth stood at the moment. "At least your legs weren't bound as well and you weren't gagged."
"What? I can't believe that my father would order that..." Elizabeth trails off, looking outraged.
"It wasn't your father who ordered that." Jacque sates with a glint in her eyes. "It was your fiancé. He apparently deemed me a danger to the crew since they were ordered to prevent me from leaving the ship."
"The Commodore ordered that?" Will asks, restrained anger laced into his voice. "I can understand preventing the two of you from leaving the ship, but gagging Jacque..."
"Will, calm down," Elizabeth says, placing a hand on Will's arm. "They were only trying to protect us."
"Speak for yourself." Jacque says before grinning. "It's not like it matters anyways; I got out."
"What?" Elizabeth and Will exclaim simultaneously.
"I broke the window." Jacque says, slightly embarrassed. "What can I say, I was desperate."
"I know," Elizabeth says with a genuine smile directed towards Jacque. "I could hear you cursing the soldiers to the deepest pits of hell from below deck."
"Perhaps that's why all the soldiers have been scurrying away from us." Will says with a laugh as he sees Jacque's red cheeks.
"Which works for us, actually." Elizabeth says, her face suddenly serious. "I agree that we can't allow this to happen. Even though he is my fiancé, Norrington cannot be allowed to kill two good people."
"Do you have a plan?" Jacque asks Elizabeth, looking at her hopefully.
"No." She says regretfully. "But, we have about two days to come up with one, so we'll do it." She says determinedly before turning beginning to walk away. "In the meantime, I'll convince James that you two feel that what he's doing is wrong, but are loathe to break the law."
"Elizabeth," Jacque calls, realizing the hidden acceptance and friendship behind Elizabeth's words. "Thank you."
"Will," Jacque asks hesitantly as she leans on the rail next to him. "Do you think we'll be able to do it? Save them?"
"Truthfully," Will says as he looks down at Jacque and takes her hand in his. "I don't know. Buy we're going to try."
