DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
When Elizabeth woke up she found that she was no longer on solid land, she was on a ship. Rubbing her head in agony, she accounted the events prior, she would have been nearly raped, if it wasn't for this anonymous stranger who saved her. Getting out of bed she walked on deck, she saw him…Jack Sparrow, she was on the Pearl!
Jack did not notice Elizabeth's arrival on deck. He could tell that the story was true by what Elizabeth was wearing, she was in head to toe black, she was in mourning, Will was dead. Out of the corner of his eye he saw her walk towards him.
"Elizabeth…" But instead of a tearful greeting, he expected, he got a hard slap across the face.
"Your bastard! Because of you Will is dead!" Elizabeth screamed as she was crying.
"Elizabeth I didn't even…" Another slap cause Jack to stagger back. Elizabeth then started to beat on his chest with her small fists. Jack grabbed her wrists and looked into her eyes.
"I am so sorry Elizabeth…" Jack said intensely.
Elizabeth looked at him directly in the eyes, anger burning a hole through the Captain "I hate you!" Elizabeth wailed as she slowly went to the floor, taking Jack with her because he was still holding her wrists. All Jack could do was hold her, she was emotionally unstable and what was worse was that she blamed him for it.
"Gibbs, take the helm. I am going to help Elizabeth to me cabin." Jack then helped Elizabeth up and took her to his cabin, where he sat her down in a chair. Jack knelt down in front of Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth I…"
"I really don't want to talk to you right now, if it wasn't for you, Will going to search for you, he would still be alive."
Jack seemed to ignore her comment, "Elizabeth I need to know if that bastard hurt you last night." Elizabeth didn't answer him, she just turned her head away.
"Elizabeth, I need to know luv, so I can take ye to a doctor."
"No, he didn't hurt me, I'm fine." Relief ran through Jack's body.
"Do you want me to take you back to Port Royal?"
"No." This answer somehow surprised Jack.
"Why is that luv?"
"Would you stop with all of these bloody questions!" Jack then got up and looked her in the eyes.
"Elizabeth I can't tell you how sorry I am about Will. He was a good man and a good pirate. If you want to bloody scream yer head off at me then fine, but I did not kill Will, his beloved sea did." Jack was about to walk out when Elizabeth stopped him.
"Jack…wait. I didn't mean to…take my anger out on you. I just miss him so much…I miss him…" Jack turned around to see Elizabeth crying with her head in her hands.
"Come 'ere lass…" Jack then lifted Elizabeth from the chair and placed her in bed. "I want you to get some rest, don't worry about a thing, Jack will take care of ye." Jack made a promise, he would take care of Elizabeth for however long she needed him. This was something that Jack knew Will would have wanted him to do for him, he would protect Will's treasure.
As the cool Caribbean air hit Jack's face as he walked up on deck, he thought about what he would do with Elizabeth. She certainly did not want to go home, that he knew for certain, he could not very well have her stay on his ship without her having any knowledge of sword wielding or knowledge of how to run a ship. Jack decided that he would propose this to her, she would be a member of his crew, and learn the ropes from Jack himself, she would be the best, she would know everything. Once she felt a bit better, the training would begin, but before he went off to the Isla de Muerta, he would stop in Nassau first.
"Captain Sparrow, Mr. Gibbs would like to know where to set course." Anamaria had approached him.
"Nassau." Jack was still in his thoughts.
"Captain, if ye don't mind me asking, what do you plan on doing with the lass?"
"She doesn't want to go home, so I will offer her a place here, on the Pearl. I owe this to Will, I'll take care of his bonnie lass."
"Aye, do you want me to help?"
"No, she will learn by me, I want her to be as good as I am."
"You? Teach her?" Anamaria said laughing.
"Yes, do you have a problem with that?"
"No, no problem, but you have no patience, and yer drunk 'alf the time. What makes you think you can teach her everything you know?"
"I know…care to make a wager?"
"Yea, ten schillings says she'll never be a good a pirate as you."
"You got yourself a deal luv."
"What did I say about calling me luv?!"
"Don't remember."
"Figures, you bloody nincompoop!" Anamaria stomped away. Jack always added a luv, at the end of his sentences, Elizabeth didn't seem to mind, but he knew Anamaria did, and that was his leverage. They should dock in Nassau in the late morning, that is when he would approach Elizabeth.
