Goodness, I'm so sorry it's taken so long to write another chapter! The
holiday's hit me hard with the procrastination bug. I haven't done much of
anything for the past week. But, I'm updating now, so, anyway..
Disclaimer:
*singing* all I want for Christmas is to own jack sparrow; to own will turner and to own all the rest. Gee if I could only own POTC, then I could have a merry Christmas! *sigh* okay. Now I'm depressed. grr.
Chapter 8
Spies
Elizabeth clapped her hands over her mouth.
Will, however, felt his anger start to rise.
"Norrington," he growled.
The man walked out of the shadows and smiled nastily at the pair, his hands clasped behind his back as though he was receiving an award.
"That's Commodore Norrington to a man of your social status, Turner," he spat.
"Why?" asked Elizabeth softly, tears in her eyes. "Why would you do this to my father? To us? To me?"
"Why did I do this to you?" Norrington repeated, putting emphasis on the pronouns in the sentence. "You think this is my fault? That I did this to hurt you? God, woman, you are so extremely thick sometimes, I almost can't believe that I love you."
Elizabeth's eyebrows moved closer together. "What do you-?"
"This is all your fault, Elizabeth," interrupted the Commodore. "If you hadn't gone off with this idiotic excuse for a man, none of this would have happened. If you hadn't made me follow him all over the Caribbean because I thought you loved me-"
He paused for a moment, rubbing the palm of his hand across his face before continuing. "But I know that it's not your fault. I understand that you never wanted your relationship with him to go this far. You weren't even in love with him. It was only lust. Your lust towards him blinded you of the truth; that you loved me. And I am willing to forgive you. I mean, I did all of this just to get you back. I found out what the Governor did with his medallion and killed him once I had relayed the information to his brother. And now that you're here, all I have to do is get rid of your other family members and there will be no legal reason that you can't be mine."
"Except for the fact that you're a dirty swine who she'll never agree to marry!" Interrupted Will, his arm tight around Elizabeth, whose face now showed the terror in her heart.
"Generally speaking, no," agreed Norrington, nodding. "But I know of a small bit of leverage that might change her mind."
Suddenly, a man came walking down the steps.
"Sir," he said, not looking at the Turners. "We have the Black Pearl in sight, Sir."
"Good," replied Norrington, and the man left. "Well," he continued. "It looks as though we're coming up on that leverage now. I bid you two good day. For now."

"Faster, you scallywags!" Shouted Jack, looking over his shoulder at the shadow of a ship behind them. It was getting closer.
"I thought you said this ship was the fastest in the Caribbean!" squealed Meline, who was jumping up and down and kept looking behind them.
"It is," agreed Jack. "That ship must not be from the Caribbean."
"That's not funny, Jack," growled Meline, stumbling on her caged legs as the ship swayed forcefully.
"I find that it's good to have some humor in bad situations," he said, quickly twiddling the helm as he glanced at his compass.
"Well that's good. Because if they catch us, I'm going to slap you silly!" Meline retorted.
"We'll be alright, lass," said Jack. But his hands were fidgeting and there was sweat on his face. They would catch up soon.
Okay, that was really short, but anyways...
Congrats to PED-sarah, Wolfia, Amythestangel, Etheral_dragon, and TortillaInLuv for figuring out who the spy is! Jack and Will plushie dolls to you all!
And Will plushies to inu lover, The Second Geek, and Otter Moon, who were close enough for me!
Well then, thanks once again for all of your reviews! I had no idea that anyone would like this story! I feel like such a big shot because people actually reviewed! *runs around in excited circles until running into a wall and collapsing on the floor* Okay, not feeling like a big shot anymore. I guess it's time to go before I make an even bigger fool of myself.
TA!
