Chapter 25, Out to sea!
Jack woke up in a cold sweat. He looked at the barely lit room. Eponine's sleeping body right next to him. "It was a dream." He took a deep breath and repeated. "It was a dream."
He lay back down on his side and put an arm around his wife. Thinking that only a few months ago he wasn't going to touch her because of her purity. Now she had gone through so much but she still meant so much to him.
The memory of the dream flashed through his head. What would I do without Eponine? I couldn't ever live with myself if she died. Or Elizabeth. The morning seamed to slip by, and Eponine woke with Jack smiling at her with the sun in his eyes.
"Good morning," Eponine said with a smile at how weird it was to realize that they were now married.
"It's more like afternoon love."
Eponine smiled and looked around the room a burst of tear dropped shapes, colored like the rainbow engulfed the walls. She looked around for the source of the color and noticed it came from her left ring finger. "I can't believe were married."
She said as Jack laid on top of her. His eyes widened. "I know! It's amazing! One thing for sure if I was going to be married, I'm glad its you." He smiled and came and kissed her. Their still naked bodies getting hot.
"Jack isn't it a little early to do this?"
"It can never be to early."
He went back to kissing Eponine, "Jack! Eponine!" Elizabeth was outside the door banging and yelling. "It's time to get up! You have to leave soon or you wont catch the tide."
Jack shot up scared, that was the exact thing she had said in his dream. "Yeah! Thanks Liz!" Eponine just smiled at him struggling to put his pants on.
Elizabeth insisted that she come to the harbor to say goodbye, after Jack paid the servants, They walked along the shore looking at his men load the three ships. As they reached it Will came over to say goodbye to Elizabeth.
"I'm sorry I didn't help with my son. So I will help..."
Elizabeth interrupted him. "Will don't punish yourself for it. I know that you didn't want it to happen and so I don't blame you. If I was supposed to die then I would have. I believe everything has its purpose."
She smiled and he held out his hand for hers, she gave it welcoming and he kissed it. "Well I hope you have a wonderful life Liz, take care of my grandchild and I will be back to visit."
"Good bye Will." He turned and got on his own ship. Jack hugged Elizabeth tightly. "Take care Liz. And if you do decide to get married wait for a year so me and Eponine can be there."
"I'll try Jack." She smiled. "But I can't make any promises. Have a safe journey and god speed."
Elizabeth turned to Eponine. "I never thought Jack would be married. But I believe you are the one for him. Take care of him and yourself."
"I will." They hugged. "You take care too."
Elizabeth went to leave but a man out of the corner of her eye caught her attention. He looked like he had been drowned, and starved. But he was alive, from out of the corner of Jacks eye he saw the man and ran towards him.
The man pulled out two guns, Jack knocked him down before he could get any of them fired. Men from the ship came running. Jack grabbed the guns and let him get up.
The man stood straight up with clothes soaked in blood and water his eyes glaring at Elizabeth and Eponine. Jack saw him and only thought of the lives he was now protecting and shot. The man's body fell hard to the harbor deck.
Eponine walked over to Jack and sunk in his shoulder crying. Elizabeth looked wide eyed from the man to Jack. "You need to leave now."
Jack shook his head. "I can't leave you to take the blame for this."
"Jack they wont hurt a woman for self defense. But since you are already wanted and they are just looking for an opportunity to get you. I think this is the time that you run. Go out to sea and try not to come back."
"I have to take care of you."
"I will be fine." Elizabeth smiled and Jack nodded. He helped Eponine up on deck and went right to the wheel, as Eponine staid looking at the man's dead body.
That was the last time Elizabeth Turner Norington saw her protector, the infamous Jack Sparrow and his wife Eponine. The last thing she saw of the Black Pearl was its black sails moving over the horizon, out to sea for its many future adventures.
The End.
