Chapter 13~The Taking
~***~***~
*BOOM!*
The force of the cannon ball imploding upon the Black Pearl rattled the very insides of Anamaria's soul. It appeared that Barbossa's cousin, Knadoff was seeking revenge upon the crew for killing his kin.
Ana shouted to the crew to retreat and seek safer refuge, so they could think up a plan on how to stop this rage-filled sea captain from killing them all.
~***~***~
It had been a couple of days since Meredith's little episode with Jack. The spell had slowly worn off, so she could no longer see him, but she could still feel his presence around her. This eerie chill swept around her every time she was near.
Megan almost laughed out loud every time her mother started speaking to Jack, poor Amy was lost. Both her mother and her sister were talking to themselves, and she was getting mighty confused.
Apart from the occasional laugh or smile from him, more and more often, Megan was catching Jack sitting on her roof staring at the sky, but every time she asked him about it he would avoid answering her simple questions about what he was thinking about or why he was spending so much time in his own world. The truth is that he was really beginning to miss his home, the Caribbean. He missed the Pearl and he missed his crew.
Life was nice out here with Megan, but not being able to be seen was starting to bug him. And for some reason, every time he talked to Megan his insides became jumbled, and he got tongue-tied. He didn't know what was wrong with him. The man started getting possessive of her and wanting to know what her every move was. This feeling was scaring Jack, and so he did only what he thought was right, he started to push possibly the most important person in his life, away.
Megan was getting concerned about Jack. While she was in her room, drawing yet another picture of a little girl in the corner, heart broken, as she did often when she was confused, Jack was on the roof, in deep thought. He was trying to distance himself from her. Her feelings for this man were getting stronger by the day, and him avoiding her eyes and not answering her questions hurt her deeply. Had it been something she had done? She did not know.
~***~***~
"Ok, this is where Jack disappeared, righ'?" Anamaria asked her 1st mate, Gibbs, as she was pointing to a particular place on the map of the Caribbean.
"Aye, t'is." Gibbs nodded his head in agreement.
The crew of the Pearl had managed to find a safe haven, for now, from Knadoff. During this short amount of time, Ana and her crew had put their heads together to think up a plan, a plan to get Jack back. When they had gone to Tortuga a while ago to restock the ship, Anamaria had wandered to a mystic's home and she had told the young, tough woman, that her captain was still alive, and that he was somewhere out there. Ever since then, Ana was determined to get Jack back where her belonged, no matter what the cost was.
"Alrigh' then. Tell the crew so set due south. We're getting our captain back!" Anamaria commanded Gibbs and the midget as she stood up and marched to her cabin.
~***~***~
Megan was lying on her bed, daydreaming, still. She wasn't quite sure what she was thinking about. Mostly they were flashbacks from her childhood. One was of her and her friends giggling on a summer's day eating ice cream on the roof. It was a day much like today. Sunny and warm, not a cloud in the sky. It was a perfect day. A perfect day for precious memories. She sighed and closed her eyes. Megan was so confused about Jack. There WAS something between them, but she couldn't exactly say what it was.
Megan was so deep in thought that she didn't hear her door creak open as Jack came in.
"Megan, luv?" He said in a whisper, checking to see if she was asleep or not.
She opened her eyes and sat up.
"Yeah?"
"Well, I jus' wanna say...say, I'm sorry. I've been pushin' you away for no reason, and I wanna apologize. I guess I'm jus' feelin' a little bit homesick that's all." He said, for the first time in weeks he looked her right in the eye. Jack had almost forgotten how dark Megan's eyes were. They were such a deep brown, they were almost black.
"It's alright Jack. I haven't helped the matters at all. I've been staying in my room and being all moody and stuff. I'm just confused."
"Confused? About what?" His eyes darkened in thought as he tried to figure out what she meant.
Realizing what she had just said, Megan quickly tried to cover up by saying "Oh, nothing Jack. Don't worry about it. Just me in my little demented world, that's all." She smiled a tiny, weak smile. But Jack could still see the sadness in her eyes.
He took her hands and looked her in the eyes, she seeing that his own were full of concern and care. As a natural reaction, Megan took her hands away from the touch of his. The feel of his calloused rough pads on his palm sent shivers up her back.
"Megan, you can tell me. I know summin's wrong, I can see it in your eyes." He insisted, reaching out for her hands. She let him take them this time and he held on to them loosely in his large hands.
"Ok, you have to promise me that you won't like freak out on me or anything. You promise?"
Jack nodded his head, never breaking her gaze.
"Well, it's just that lately I've been having these really weird feelings, and I think that I finally know what it means..."
"What does it mean?" Jack asked, although he already had a feeling that he knew what she was going to say.
Averting her gaze, away from Jack, Megan stared at the floor and said quietly, "I think I love you..." When Jack didn't say anything, she swallowed and looked back up at him. He was looking at her in a strange way, and suddenly he bent forward and kissed her.
Megan's senses went crazy. The butterflies in her stomach started fluttering around faster and faster. The man that she had spent so much time with was kissing her. His hands left hers and suddenly appeared on the back of her head on around her waist. Not realizing it, Megan wrapped her arms around Jack's neck. She felt his tongue at her lips, seeking entrance into her mouth. She accepted it and inwardly smiled as their tongues intertwined.
The two of them were so caught up in the moment that they didn't notice that the sky was getting dark and the power started flickering. They only became aware of their surroundings when the power went completely dark and lightning stuck the ground. When they looked around to see what was going on a brilliant flash inside the room blinded Megan and Jack.
She could hear voices, she couldn't make out what they were saying, but Megan was sure one of them was female. She clung on to Jack for dear life as the voices got closer and closer to her. His hands gripped tightly on hers as they began to regain their vision.
From what little Megan could see, there was a tall, coffee coloured woman with long, brown hair, and two large men with scars and dried blood all over their clothes. They were dressed strangely like Jack had been when he had first appeared in her bedroom.
The woman caught sight of Jack and exclaimed, "Jack! Thank god we found you! Come on we have to go! Hurry! Knadoff is attacking the Pearl as we speak! We need your help!" She started tugging at his sleeve, but Jack would not budge.
"Anamaria, wha' is goin' on 'ere?!" He demanded to know, but the woman would not answer him. She motioned to the two men behind her and they stepped forward and grabbed onto jack's shirt.
"No, please! What are you doing? Don't take him away! Who are you people?! LET HIM GO!" Megan screamed to the men, but they would not listen. She hit their arms with all her might, but they seemed to not have felt a thing.
Time seemed to slow down as Jack and Megan tried to fight the two who were dragging him away towards the dully glowing light that was still visible. Megan screamed at the men and the woman and called them extremely harsh names. The woman stepped back into the light and disappeared. The two large crewmembers started to follow suit.
Megan grabbed on to Jack's hands and looked into his eyes. She could see the horror and confusion in the gleaming chocolate orbs. Her own eyes were glistening with tears as she screamed and fought the men. Time was going so slow, yet so fast. Just before Jack disappeared he mouthed words to Megan. He probably yelled them but she could not hear. The light disappeared and papers settled down back into her room, and the sky turned crystal blue again.
Then all at once Jack was gone. Megan fell to the floor panting. She was trying to comprehend what had just happened. Tears started to fall down her cheeks as she opened her hands and found one of Jack's many rings that must have slipped off during the short battle.
Megan slowly stood up and shakily moved to her bed. Once she was there, she broke out into sobs. They were dreadful and heartbroken cries. Her world was disappearing as green and purple spots crept into her eyesight. She could not believe that just moments before Jack was stolen from her, they had shared such an intimate moment together.
As Megan drew in a ragged breath she understood what Jack had just mouthed to her. They were to words "I love you, Megan"
