Ok kiddies, here is chapter seven. Thank you guys for the reviews. This chapter made me sad but it needed to happen for the rest of the story to work right so don't kill me if you don't like it. I am recommending that you listen to track twenty of the soundtrack of the third Harry Potter movie for this chapter. If you don't have it try and find a way to get it because it helped me write this chapter and it gives it a little more if you know what I mean. alright well here we go!
Jack took you into his cabin and set you down on his bed. You were still sobbing. Jack felt so guilty because there was nothing he could do to make you smile. You were just sitting there sobbing. Jack was trying to say something but he just couldn't. what was he supposed to say? He placed his hand on your leg to try and comfort you when there was a soft knock at the door. You and Jack looked up at the door to see who was there.
" Come in." Jack said quietly. The door popped open and Gibbs entered. You saw that it was Gibbs and your head dropped and you went back to staring at your boots as the tears continued to poor from your eyes. Gibbs glanced over at you for a moment and then turned to look at Jack.
" Capn, Anna and I would like to know where you want us to start headin to." he said quietly. Jack looked at you and then around the room before looking at Gibbs.
" We need to stop in Tortuga so I can get something and then we will set off to Isla de Muerta. I will be there in a few minutes to give you the coordinates.." he said softly. Gibbs nodded and walked out of the cabin closing the door softly behind him. Jack looked at you again and saw that you were still crying. He placed his arm around your shoulder and pulled you close to him and he hugged you. There was a long silence except for your sniffling and sobbing. Jack placed a hand on your cheek and smiled softly before getting up.
" I will be back in a few minutes." he said. You nodded your head slightly and he walked out of the cabin closing the door quietly behind him. You were now left to your thoughts. Maybe Ryan was right. Maybe it was your fault. But that cant be. You tried to help him. No you let him fall. your mind was having a battle with its self and it was driving you crazy. Finally your tears subsided and you stood up and walked over to Jacks rum stash. Plopping down on one of Jacks chairs you attempted to drink away your sorrows. When you realized that that wouldn't work you simply sat there in deep thought.
" I need to just go away." you said to yourself. You polished off the bottle of rum and placed it on the desk. Going away sounded like such a good idea. That way you couldn't hurt anyone else. You had gotten it in your head that everything was your fault. You blamed yourself for Tilly and now Michael. If you went away you couldn't cause anymore damage. After sitting there for almost ten minutes you got up and walked back over to Jacks bed and laid down. Soon your eyes were drooping and you fell into a deep dreamless sleep. Right after you had fallen asleep Jack walked in. he saw you sleeping and did not want to disturb you. He smiled slightly and closed the door and went about his business.
It was now night time and Jack was at the helm guiding the Pearl to Tortuga. He was lost in thought when Anna came to stand beside him.
" How is she doin?" she asked. Jack tore his vision from the distance and looked at her.
" Well she is sleepin right now so that is good." he said. Anna nodded and Jack continued. " I am just worried about when she wakes up." he said softly. Anna smiled and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. Her expression soon changed to a more serious one as she spoke.
" Jack, I have a feelin that this isn't over." she said worriedly. Jack nodded.
" Aye Anna, I agree." he said. The two of them looked back out to the horizon and the ships sailed on. You didn't wake up until later the next evening. You didn't feel the ship moving so you figured that they had dropped anchor in Tortuga. The sun had gone down about an hour ago so you decided that now would be the best time to leave. You quietly put on your boots and stood up. Once you straightened out your shirt you placed some pillows under the covers so it would look like you were still sleeping. On one of the pillows you placed a rose from Jack's desk. Once you made sure that everything was in order you walked towards the door. Slowly you opened it and peeked outside. The deck in front of you was empty. You slowly and quietly made your way along the deck. You scurried passed the stairs and were about to continue on when you heard voices coming from the galley. You gasped and crouched down behind some crates and waited. Gibbs and Anna were walking up the stairs from the galley when they stopped.
" I forgot my bloody dagger." Anna announced. You waited until you saw both her and Gibbs go back below deck and you made your way down the gangplank. You walked off and crept off into the shadows that the ships produced from the light of the full moon. You walked along the ships until you were against your own. You let your fingers linger on the side of your pride and joy for a moment and then you began to walk again. A voice calling your name quietly from behind you made you turn around. It was you good friend Thomas.
" Capn, where are ye goin?" he asked quietly. You smiled softly and placed a hand on his shoulder.
" I have to go away for a little while.' you said quietly. Thomas's eyes widened as you said this.
" But you cant. We need you with us." he said. You smiled once more and looked him straight in the eyes.
" Thomas who is your captain?" you asked him.
" You are." he said. You smiled and placed your other hand on his opposite shoulder.
" And do you trust your captain?" you asked. Thomas looked at you for a moment and smiled faintly.
" I trust you with my very life" he said. You smiled as he said this.
" Then Thomas, as your captain I am asking you to let me go." you said. Thomas shook his head as if to say no.
" But you cant! We need you." he said. You now felt torn but you had to go. Tears were coming to your eyes now.
" Thomas I have known you since we were young. I am asking you as a friend to let me go. Please do not make me order you." you begged. Thomas looked at you with sad eyes. Suddenly there was a noise behind you and you both turned to see Jack and Will walking down the docks. your eyes widened as Thomas grabbed your arm and pulled you closer to the ship.
" Capn, you best get goin before you get caught." he said with a soft smile. you now had tears comming down your face as you pulled him into a hug.
" Thank you." you whispered in his ear. Thomas smiled. " Thomas when Jack finds out I am gone tell him that I love him but I had to go." you said hurriedly as Jack and Will came closer and closer. Thomas nodded and nudged you a bit.
" Capn you had best be off now or someone will see you." he said. Tears were starting to fall down his face now. you smiled and hugged him one last time and turned to see where Jack was. Seeing that he was a good distance away still you made your escape. You crept along the shadows until you were at least twenty feet from the docks. You turned and took one look at your ship and then Jack. you saw Thomas come out of the shadows and walk over to Jack and Will. He looked back to you and you waved. Thomas nodded in your direction as if to wave back and you took off. you sprinted until you were out of sight of every person at the docks. You walked up to the place Jack had showed you long before. It was th best place to think. You looked down to the docks and saw that Jack had called all hands on deck and the fleet was moving out. You watched as the ships slowly pulled out of the harbor and into the open ocean.
" Good bye Jack." you said to yourself as the ships became smaller and smaller. Soon they were no longer visible.
A/n..... I was thinkin of stopping there because it seemed like such a good place to stop but then I figured that i should put a little bit in on the Pearl so you could see Jacks reaction to finding out that you were gone so keep reading!
Once the ship had left port and had been at sea for about an hour Jack walked into his cabin to ckeck on you. He saw what he thought was you still sleeping so he decided to leave you alone. He closed the door and walked out to the deck and up to the helm. To his right was your ship, and next to that was Joes. To his left was Wills ship. he smiled slightly as the ships cut through the water with much ease. Jack stayed at the helm all night for he didnt want to disturb you. Soon dawn came and you still hadnt come out of the cabin. Jack was getting worried now because you hadnt moved from that spot in days. Isla de Muerta was comming up fast so he decided to wait and wake you once they had anchored off the island. You hadnever been to Jacks island so he was very excited to show it to you.
" Men drop anchor and take in the sails." he yelled. The crew did as they were told and soon the ships were all side by side. Jack walked into the cabin and looked at what was supposed to be your sleeping form. Taking a closer look he noticed that he couldnt see you at all. He walked up to the bed and pulled the covers down a bit. His eyes widened as he saw not you but a bunch of pillows with a rose laying there.
" Shit!" he muttered to himself and ran out of the cabin. Gibbs and Anna were in a deep discussion when Jack bursted out of the cabin with wide eyes. Anna stood up and walked over to jack who was looking about the ship calling your name.
" Jack what is it? Whats happened?" she asked worriedly. Jack turned and looked at Anna with no emotion in his eyes.
"Anna, she's gone." he said softly. Anna's own eyes widened at this and she quickly called for every man from every ship be on the Pearl at once. Soon everyone was on board and jack walked up to the center of the group.
" Has anyone seen ( your name)?" he asked with a small glint of hope in his eyes. No one said a thing and many became very worried. Jack looked around and all hope faded ffrom his heart. He was about to dismiss everyone when he saw Thomas. He narrowed his eyes a bit as he saw Thomas shifting in his place occwardly.
" Thomas, come here." he said softly. everyone looked at Thomas as he walked over to meet Jack.
"Yes sir." he said almost so quietly that it wasnt heard.
" Do you know where she is?" he asked. Everyone was looking at Thomas expectantly as he took a deep breath.
" She left. Last night. I was talkin to he before I let her go." he said softly. Jacks eyes widened at this but he ushered Thomas to continue.
" She told me to tell you that she loves you but she had to go." he said. Jack felt as though his world had just crumpled down to nothing. " I tried to get her to stay but I couldnt change her mind. She looked like she was ready to just give up all together so I took pitty on her and i let her go. Thats when I walked over to you. I nodded at her to tell her to go. Thats what I was nodding at whe you gave me that strange look." he said. Everyone stood there in stunned silence and Thomas continued. " Capn told me not to say nothin until you noticed she was gone and so i didnt. I'm sorry Jack." he finished. Jack nodde slightly and walked off to the back of the Pearl so he could be alone. Everyone went back to there ships except for Will and . He walked over until he saw Jack sitting on the railing holding the rose you left on the pillow looking at the water.
" Jack?" Will asked as he stood beside him. Jack looked at the rose and sighed. " You ok?" Will asked.
" No, not really." he said in a soft hurt voice that was very much unlike Jack. Will took a seat on the railing next to him and looked out to the water as well.
" I dont understand will. How could she just leave me like that?" Jack asked, his voice full of hurt. Will smiled and put a comforting hand on Jacks shoulder.
" Jack, she is hurting right now and she needs to be alone. She needs time to clear her head. I mean, she did just watch one of her bestfriends die." he said in a soft voice. Jack and Will sat there in silence for almost an hour when Jack suddenly jumped off the railing and onto the deck. Will turned around and looked at him questioningly.
" Where are you going?" he asked. Jack gave a slight smirk and held up the rose.
" I'm goin to get megirl back." he said. Will jumped back onto the deck himself and they got the ships ready to head back to Tortuga.
