DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"Elizabeth luv, how much farther do you plan on going?" Jack asked as he pushed another branch from him.
"Until we come back to where we started. Jack there is nothing else to do." Elizabeth said.
"Yes there is luv." Jack said with a smirk.
"We can stop here for the night." Elizabeth said putting down her bag. Jack then sat down, his back to a tree. "Tired?" Elizabeth asked.
"A bit." Jack replied.
"Well, just stay here, I'll take care of everything, save your strength." Elizabeth bent down and kissed Jack.
Elizabeth went to look for wood, something, to start a fire with. She had a few pieces until she heard some shouting. She put down the wood and walked further until she could see the beach.
She gasped when she saw the Dauntless and Avenger anchored in the sea, and Commodore Norrington and Captain Taylor were shouting orders to their crew.
"Search the entire island…" The Commodore shouted.
"Aye, the same goes for you blokes!" Captain Taylor also shouted. Then both marines and pirates scurried into the trees.
"James there is something I want to discuss with you." Taylor said as he placed an arm around his shoulder.
"What is it?" James asked.
"Well, this reward money, the lass you can have, but I want Sparrow to suffer under my sword."
"Captain Taylor, I do not care what happens to Sparrow. I care about Elizabeth, that is all. You shall be rewarded, but Sparrow you may take care of if you please." The both laughed as they walked away. Elizabeth could no longer hear them, and every inch of the island was swarming with Marines and Pirates, she was running blind, but she had to get back to Jack and warn him. She never ran so fast in her life.
"Jack!" Jack opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?" He said noticing her sense of urgency.
"The Avenger and the Dauntless are here! We have to hide…" Jack did not let her finish her sentence. Jack got up and grabbed her hand and started to run towards the beaches.
"Jack what are we doing?" Elizabeth said trying to keep up.
"We are going to commandeer the Avenger…" Jack then crouched down by some brush that was just leading onto the beaches, Elizabeth did the same.
"Jack how in the blazes are we going to do that?" Elizabeth whispered.
"Don't know…stay down…" Jack said as he saw the Commodore. They were silent until they could not see him anymore.
"Jack, the beaches, we can't cross them…"
"I know…" Jack stopped when he heard a gun cock behind them.
"Stand up!" Elizabeth and Jack did so, when they turned around they saw it was a pirate from Taylor's crew. "Found the two birds, the Sparrow and the Swann…I FOUND EM!" The commodore then rushed towards where the pirate had shouted.
'I can't let her go…' Jack thought to himself. He pulled out his pistol and shot the pirate dead. He grabbed Elizabeth's hand and ran to the beaches, they got as far as the row boats when the Commodore shouted behind them.
"Stop where you are Sparrow!" Both Jack and Elizabeth stopped and turned around, they weren't surprised to see a pistol pointed at them. "Elizabeth come stand beside me…"
"No…" Elizabeth then went and stood in front of Jack. "I will not…"
"Elizabeth what are you doing? This is a dangerous fugitive, get away from him…"
"I will not James, so put your pistol down…" Elizabeth said firmly.
"Elizabeth what on earth has gotten in your head?"
"James, if you dare and try and shoot him, I will kill you…" Elizabeth then pulled out her pistol, "…make no mistake of that." Jack pulled out his pistol as well and stood by her side.
"Elizabeth I…"
"James, do as I say. I don't want to have to kill you but I will if I have to." James then slowly put down his pistol. So did Jack and Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth what is going on?" James asked.
"James I do not want to go back to Port Royal, I am happy where I am."
"With him?"
"Hey, I am great company mate!" Jack said.
"I am sure." James said bitterly.
"What is going on?" Captain Taylor said as he approached.
"None of your bloody business!" Elizabeth spat back.
"James you sure you want her as a wife, she is definitely more suitable for Sparrow." Taylor said to the Commodore. James eyes went wide, know he knew why Elizabeth told him to stand down.
"Is this true Elizabeth?" James asked.
"It is."
James then pulled his pistol back out of his holster. "Get away from him now!"
"No!" Before Elizabeth and Jack could pull out there pistols, Taylor pulled out his and pulled the trigger.
"I'll bloody shoot her!" Taylor then shot the pistol and Elizabeth fell to the floor.
