Elizabeth put her head in her hands, utterly exhausted. Letting go of Jack had to be done. She couldn't possibly marry Norrington with-, wait she didn't exactly HAVE to marry the Commodore. He was an adult, he could accept refusal. And Jack....
"Jack..." Elizabeth yelled as she rushed to the window, "Jack!!"
He wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Captain Sparrow!" Elizabeth hissed anxiously, squinting into the bushes. Nope, his bandana wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Damn it all," she muttered, wiping the tears from her eyes. She rushed to her drawers, drawing out old dresses and stockings, preparing to go after Jack on her own.
"Did I hear someone call for me?" a voice peeped at the window.
"Jack!" Elizabeth near yelled, rushing to the window and nearly knocking Sparrow into the greenery below.
"Couldn't leave me? Could ya?" he asked grinning.
"Oh Jack," Elizabeth whispered, hugging the captain close to her. "When did things get so messed up?" she murmured into his ear.
"When you started loving me lassie," Jack teased. "Things always go wrong when you start loving a pirate."
"Aye, I'm sorry," Elizabeth whispered gazing into Jack's heavily lined kohl eyes.
"Elizabeth, I-" Jack started.
"No, don't talk," Elizabeth murmured as she wrapped her arms around Jack's neck and kissed him passionately.
"I missed you," Jack whispered, eyes wild with excitement.
"Of course you did," Elizabeth said, wickedly grinning, her hair catching the moonlight's rays. She was alive, she hadn't felt this love, this passion or desire in a long time. "Live for the moment," she whispered, eyes beckoning.
Some Time Later
"Where were you Jack?" Elizabeth whispered as she snuggled up to him.
"Raiding lassie," Jack whispered, fingers in her hair. "Pirates duty, it is."
"When I go with you..." Elizabeth said hesitantly, "I'll rob and steal things too?"
"Well," Jack said awkwardly.
"Don't answer that," Elizabeth giggled.
"Elizabeth?" a voice pounded at the door. "Elizabeth?! Are you in there?"
"Hide," Elizabeth hissed to Jack who grabbed his things and scurried out the window.
"Yes?" Elizabeth moaned, acting like she'd just woken up.
"Please open up darling," another man's voice came from behind the door.
Elizabeth wrapped herself in a silk robe and opened the door.
"What's the matter?" she asked groggily, squinting to see the Commodore and her father.
"We were just checking up on you," her father said smiling at his daughter.
"Some military men seem to have spotted an unfamiliar ship," the Commodore informed in his monotone.
"And what would that have to do with me?" Elizabeth asked suspiciously.
"Well it seems to be the ship of Jack Sparrow, and as you're friends with him-" the Governor meekly said.
"He might come to you for help," the Commodore finished, pushing the door wider and entering her room.
"Commodore Norrington," Governor Swann protested, " I insist, this isn't decent. Going into my daughter, your fiancé's room in the middle of the night."
"Just looking," he replied, checking under the bed and in the closet. "You never know the antics of Captain Sparrow."
"Well, it's not proper, at this time of hour," the governor muttered.
"These windows should be shut," the Commodore said disapprovingly, fastening the windows tightly. "All seems to be in order, good night Elizabeth," he said, kissing her on the lips.
The governor gave him an annoyingly shocked look and proceeded out the door. "Goodnight Commodore," Elizabeth replied, faking a yawn.
Norrington shut the door tightly and Elizabeth could hear low voices faintly fading off. She rushed to the windows at once, struggling to open them. They were jammed.
"Damn it all," she cursed, sinking into the plush armchair next to the window. Jack was gone, for now anyway.
