inconvenience!
The Navy men quickly dropped there weapons not wanting to end up like Young Franklin. The commodore was out beat and tried he was ready to give up, in fact he already had, but his man had turned on him. "We shall leave, Captain Wellings, but don't intend to never see me again, after all it is my duty to arrest such men as you. I will let you go for now; we had a deal and I intend to keep to my word. A respectable man always should." "Glad te hear it commodore, now if ye'd please get your perfect men off my ship, that'd be just fine and dandy, eh?" "Oh course Captain . . ." and so he did, he kept to his word and left the ship ordering all men of his to leave as fallowed.
Jack noticed Ellie was no where in sight, he didn't intend to bug her after the look she had had upon her face. He figured Elizabeth had taken her somewhere out of the way. 'It had been a while since she had seen something like that, maybe she just wasn't expecting it so soon', Jack though. He went in search of a bottle of rum and took the helm of the Black Pearl . . . 'Strange a Navy man wouldn't recognize my ship . . .' Jack pondered this, but nothing came to mind. They were making good time towards Buckley Island, a small island just 400 miles of the coast of England, and a couple less from this particular port of Europe. Buckley Island was a pirate's English paradise, one Jack loved to visit, but only when near it.
He felt a soft touch of a small hand brush his shoulder and he began with a smile and turned his head expecting it to be Elizabeth with some advice or some sort on women. He was shocked when he met Ellie's gaze, "Thought ye had left, I didn't see ya after the Navy boy died; you know I only did it for you. I thought ye didn't want to be put in tha' institute so I tried to help, maybe I over reacted, eh?"
"No, Jack, It's just I haven't been at sea for so long, I haven't seen death in over 10 years, I wasn't as ready to get on with it as I though . . ." "So where have ye been anyways," he asked changing the subject matter. "Liz took me to Ana's room so they could help meand then she left, I talked with Ana Marie a little bit, she left and I laid down on her cot and just woke now." She said with a half heated laugh. "I see, that's right I need to show ye where ye can sleep, that slipped my mind, sorry." She smiled and told him it was fine. "Well I better go get something to eat, it seems I'm actually hungry for once . . ." "Well I guess I'll join you, I have something to talk to you about," he said a little unsure about it. "Right, well let's go then." He said after shiller had taken the wheel.
They pair went to the ship's cook, Ray and asked for a bowl of soup each. He generously handed them each a heart bowl full. She spotted Elizabeth, Will, Ana, Gibbs and 2 other men eating together, she supposed they where closer together than some of the other men. There were 5 main tables in the dinning hall and each sat a large number full of men, Ellie took a seat at a small table in the back of the room with Jack so they could talk. She immediately started to eat her soup; to her surprise it was very good for a ships food. "So, Jack what was it we needed to talk about?" she asked between bites. He had barley touched his soup and was enjoying watching her eat with such a look of pure happiness he hadn't seen from her in many years.
"Ah, well I don't know if this is the best time to talk about yer parents but, I must tell you . . ." "Jack I know everything there is to know about them and if we must discuss them it can't be anything good," she pause by the look on his face. "No, love ye don't know /anything/ about them, they're not who you think they are," "Nonsense, how would you know anymore about them then me anyhow?" she started confused. "I did some research on your family, they aren't related to you at all, in fact you parents disappeared on night after they left you on those people's door step, whom you thought where you birth parents. You know ye where only 3 or 4 at the time." "How can that be . . ." she whispered angrily. "It just is, don' ask me, but there is one more thing you must know that might solve a lot of problems in your life relating to you 'real' parents." "And what could that possibly be?" she asked him in a smug tone. "You have dreams at night that haunt you, visions you can't explain and things you feel that are not your emotions, am I right?" "So what if I do, what the hell does this have to do with my birth parents lives?" "Your mother was a /witch/, you have her powers but, you don't know it nor do you know how to use them; they relate to your visions and things, if ye have a witches blood ye can do anything the next witch can with no practice. Now for your father, his mother was a gypsy woman, she knew spells and potions and could tell the future, quite like your 'real' mother, another reason you have these strange occurrences."
He stopped there and let her brain filter out everything he had just told her. There was a long, long silence before he heard her speak again but she yelled rather than whisper "WHAT!?" to the whole dinning area, every one dropped their spoons and looked over at the pair in surprise of the sudden outburst. "Jack's at again . . ." mumbled a few crew members as they turned back to their friends, crew mates, food and card games. Elizabeth Whispered to Ana Maria "Maybe Jack shouldn't have told her just yet she has had a trying day, Ana nodded and Will smiled at his wife. Gibbs just mumbled to himself "he is daft . . .one daft man . . ."
"Quiet, you want the whole crew to know your secret, you might as well kill yourself cause if any of em find out your dead anyways; lots a em don' even think it good ta have a lay on board, let alone a /witch/." He explained very quietly. "Oh this great . . ." she said sarcastically at him in a low growl. "Well now ye know how ta help yerslef, anyways that's probably what made you go mad in the first place-" "No! Jack Sparrow, It was you who drove me insane!" she yelled, but in a low voice as not to attract anymore attention as she already had. Jack was taken aback by her sudden change in heart toward him. "Well its bloody fine with me if ye don't want my help," he told her and gulped down a huge swig of rum out of habit, Ellie rose from her seat and left in a haughty motion.
Ana Marie saw her leave, as did everyone in the room but, she felt she had a right to speak with her as well as Elizabeth but, she hadn't wanted to come right at the moment; unlike anyone else did Elizabeth and Ana where probably most fitted to speak with her considering the situation. She walked up to the deck and spotted Ellie sitting up a ways on the mast. She was so peaceful looking out to sea, the wind blowing her hair; it made Ana not want to interrupt her, Elizabeth came up from behind her and told her she would talk with her too, just not at the moment she felt Ellie needed time alone, just by looking at the expression on her face. She needed to understand what Jack has said to her on her sown; for right now at least, so Ana and Elizabeth went to set up Ellie's room while they discussed the issues that had been upset that day.
Ellie's room was closest to Ana's then next to Jack's; the crew had 5 cabins each sleeping 5 at the most. Her room consisted of a small bed, a mirror and something you might call a vanity/ desk area. She had a small closet but, she had nothing to fill it with; Ana and Elizabeth had offered to share their clothing since she didn't have a chance to get her things. Ellie came to the room a few hours later and remembered she still had the map Jack had brought her from Neely and the note. She gingerly placed the two items in the drawer of the vanity/ desk area and plopped down on her bed. Just seconds later there was a knock on the door, 'oh just when I sit down I have to get up . . . it never fails' she told herself. She opened the door and Liz along with Ana came in "I hope we haven't interrupted you but, we would like to talk with you for a short while" commented Elizabeth politely. "Your fine, sit down, please . . ." she told them kindly.
Ana spoke first, "I hope jack hasn't already made himself a pain, has he?" She said with a laugh. "Oh please, when have you known Jack not to be . . ." said Ellie as she smiled for the first time in hours. Elizabeth laughed with her, "Your so right, you know that . . ." they had a nice chat before they all went to bed, Ellie was beginning feel in place now, knowing that she slept well that night; the rocking of the boat was the most soothing thing of all, she had missed it almost as much as Jack even though she wasn't going to say it, she had.
It was past noon and Ellie had just woken; the waves always helped her sleep. She had decided to be civil with Jack no matter how hard it might be, she did like him so why was it so hard to keep the peace, she just wasn't sure. She dressing in a light yellow dress Elizabeth had left out for her to wear that day. It fit perfectly and made her look very slimming. She did her hair in braid and walked out of the room, she was hungry and it was time for lunch.
She reached the dinning hall every one was there, "Good morning everyone" she announced her presence with. The men shout their hellos' and she sat next to Ana and Will, "Morning" they said with glee, "guess you slept well then?" asked Elizabeth as she was in a very cheerful mood and slept till almost one. "Yes, yes I did, the waves do it every time . . ." she told them. "Ah, they do make it more peaceful to sleep, don't they." Will chimed in. "So . . ." she noticed Jack was no where to be seen, "Where is Jack this lovely day?" she asked questionably. They all looked at Gibbs who looked back at them and they all mumbled, "He's in his room . . . Drunk" "Because of me?" she asked urgently. "You could say that . . ." the group mumbled. "Dear god . . . I wasn't that hard on him, was I?" "Yes well, he has been looking forward to seeing you but, he had to tell you about you parents . . ." said Gibbs; he'd gotten over his superstitions. "He knew it was a touchy subject but, I think you hurt him when ye said he drove you mad . . ." he said un please. "Oh my, what have I done," she mumbled. Ana told her it was fine; just to leave him to his business for now. "Ok, I'll try . . ." "Why don't you have some potatoes," offered Will. "I think I will" she said trying to put Jack's state behind her . . . for now at least.
The Navy men quickly dropped there weapons not wanting to end up like Young Franklin. The commodore was out beat and tried he was ready to give up, in fact he already had, but his man had turned on him. "We shall leave, Captain Wellings, but don't intend to never see me again, after all it is my duty to arrest such men as you. I will let you go for now; we had a deal and I intend to keep to my word.
