Chapter 6
"Pursuit of a Ship"

I took over the helm in the morning, knowing exactly where I was going and now long it was going to take, granting the weather held out long enough. I wore my leathers again now that they had dried. I steered the ship easily, it handled well granted it was a very large ship. I didn't stop for 2 days; I wanted to get to my home as soon as possible. Nothing or no one was going to stop me. Jack approached me, I heard his boots on the planks of the old floor.

"Ye should take a rest." He said, I looked at him; he had a worried look in his eyes. I didn't say anything just continued on my route. "Ye haven't slept in two days, ye need yer rest."

"I'm fine Jack, really, I could go on for 2 more days."

"I really advise ye to go in me cabin and get rest. Ye will need to be well rested when we get to yer ship, ye know there will be quite a fight."

I eyed him, knowing he was right but I refused all the same. "I'm fine... really."

"Ok, I'm ORDERIN ye, go take a rest."

I gritted my teeth, looking at his worried expression.

"Fine, but only for an hour or so, ye better wake me up so I can get back to the helm." He nodded triumphantly. I let go of the wheel and took 3 steps toward Jack. I began to feel dizzy; I grabbed my forehead as things began to fade around me. I tried to take another step but failed, I fell to the hard wooden floor. I couldn't hear what was going on around me, everything was black.

"Gibbs! To the helm!!" Jack yelled.

Gibbs quickly scurried up to the helm and took the wheel.

When I came to I looked around frantically.

"What the bloody 'ell happened?" I asked, holding my forehead as I tried to sit up.

"Don't sit up." Jack said softly. "Ye fainted."

I looked at him, but I wanted to sit up. When someone told me not to do something, I just wanted to do it more.

"I did no such thing."

"Do ye even know how ye got here?" he asked

"Umm.. Not exactly?"

I thought about it for a second, how did I get here? And how long had I been out? Last thing I remembered was hearing my fragile body falling onto wooden planks.

"I gotta get back to the helm." I said, sitting up and throwing my legs over the side of the bed. I guess I sat up to fast I began to feel dizzy again. I held my forehead.

"This is almost as bad as a hang over." I said, I heard Jack chuckle.

I looked over at him and smiled.

"Always gotta be talking." He laughed; I looked into his caring eyes.

"Ye know me. Gotta have the last word."

"Aye." He smiled. We sat there for what seemed like an eternity looking into each other's eyes.

"I better get back to the helm, get ye rest." He said, pointing for me to lay down.

"But I..." I began but was quickly cut off.

"Do as I say for once, eh, luv..." he said, rubbing his hands together and swaying back and forth.

"Alright, gullible." I laughed, have me a half smile and walked back out to the helm.

I sighed and laid back down, pulling the covers around me. Jack's scent lingered in the sheets and pillows; I smelt them and smiled to myself, closing my eyes, I fell asleep. When I awoke it was dark, Jack wasn't in the cabin. I figured he was staying true to his word on not telling anyone about the map or where we were headed. I got up quickly and walked out into the chilly night. I threw a long dark brown cloak over myself. I took a deep breath of the crisp ocean air. I let the breath out slowly and smiled to myself. I wondered up to the helm where Jack stood, steering the ship on our course.

"Good to see ye is awake." He said looking me over

"Its chilly out here, that's for sure." I said, looking up at the full moon. The moon was so bright that we could see everything around us.

"Aye, that it is." I looked Jack over in the moonlight. The moonlight did good to highlight his features that was for sure.

"Why don't ye go rest? I'll take over from here." I said, walking toward him.

"I'm fine." He said, looking at me and then back to the ocean.

"Jack, please let me take over?" I asked He shook his head no.

"Please?" I asked again, stepping closer to him.

"No, ye need the rest more than I."

"Jack please?" I asked in a whisper, giving him the puppy dogface.

He looked at me, a small grin slowly creeping over his features. I stood directly next to him, running my hands over his that rest on the wheel. I watched his eyebrows rise as he then looked around to see if anyone was on deck. He pursed his lips as he looked at me. I gave him my best sexy smile; I've done this before I could trick him again, after all his nickname was gullible. He raised his right arm and pulled me to him, I was now pinned in between the wheel and him. I could smell the sweat on his body from a hard day's labor, I could also smell something else but wasn't sure what it was. What ever it happened to be I liked it. I stood there looking him straight in the eyes, his arms on either side of me, still steering The Pearl. He leaned down slowly I closed my eyes slowly. His lips brushed against mine, he kissed me softly. Then pulled away. I opened my eyes, a curious look running through them. I watched a grin slowly spread across his face.

He leaned over; I could feel his lips brush against my ear. "No, ye need rest." He whispered

I was taken back by his actions. I stood there confusion running over my face as my eyebrows lowered.

"Who's gullible now?" He grinned.

"Ye are such an... an...." I was at a loss for words now. "ASS!" I said finally.

He dropped his right arm to his side and just grinned at me. I pushed his shoulder slightly and walked passed him. I went back into the cabin, still confused. I had been tricked at my own game. That wouldn't happen again if I could help it. He was finally catching on which was slowly catching up with me. I'd have to keep an eye on him; I had no idea at his next move.
