I thought about it, and I want to make one more story, then do all of the sequals at once. Ok? Ok. Also, I decided who she shall end up with. I wont say though.

Chapter thirteen:

I woke up again the next morning to another apple on my night table. I started to wonder if they had some sort of poisen in them, and someone was slowly killing me. The thought repelled me, and I chucked the apple in the rubbish bin when I got up to go to the loo. I was still holding a grudge againts well...everybody.

"Can I come in?" Deracks deep voice sing-songed from my door.

"Yeah, sure." I called out, throwing on my robe. "Whadaya want?"

"I heard a lot of yelling last night, just wanting to make sure no one is going to die...or anything." He said, shrugging. I snorted.

"Yeah, there are some people who I wish would die."

"Like?"

"Just about everyone on this bloody ship!" I said gesturing widely with my arms. "Mr. Gibbs is afraid to come around me, Elizabeth is out to kill me, Cotton's bloody parrot wont shut the hell up, Will is so bloody forceful, Jack is confusing, David is too bloody proper, AnaMaria hates me for some bloody reason...is there anyone I've forgotten?" I asked, finally at the end of my tyrade.

"Me."

"Oh, well you keep to yourself mostly. I dont really hate you." He smiled, relieved. "Why did you care?"

"Well, let just put it this way, Coralie. I don't want to be on your bad side. Its bloody scary. I've seen how you handled yourself with Elizabeth, I dont want you pissed at me." I laughed...I mean really laughed at that. A man...afraid of me?

"Somebody is in a jolly mood." Jack said, striding hautily into my room.

"I didnt say you could come in." I said cooly.

"So? Its my ship...Im captain. I can do whatever I wish. What were you laughing at? I could use a good joke."

"Nothing." I said shortly.

"Hey, whats goin on here?" Will asked, coming in also.

"What is this, a party?" I cried, there were too many people on my small cabin. "Geeout!" I yelled, trying to shoo them away. "Go on! Shoo. Allez loin vous merde!" Why did I just said "you shit" in French? Jack threw his head back and laughed, Will raised an eyebrow, but Derack was the only one who moved towards the door.

"What the hell do you all want?" I asked wearily.

"Cant we come to see our favorite resident pirate lass?" Will asked in a mocking voice. Something was up. I looked at each one of their faces, eyes narrowed, hand on hips.

"Go away!" I said at last, frustrated. I just wanted to go back to sleep.

"Why?" Jack asked, smiling innocently. I knew not to believe his decieving looks.

"Because...I said so!"

"Whatever." Will murmerd and walked out. Derack followed, and only Jack stayed behind. I looked pointedly at the door, but he still stood there grinning like a fool.

"What do you want?" I asked through gritted teeth.

"Just to...talk?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because, you are always biting me bloody head off." He snapped. I was takenaback.

"Well excuse me." I snapped back. He turned around and walked out. "Coward." I mumbled. He stopped as if he heard me, but continued walking away. I walked out to go to the galley, but ran head long into Will.

"Shit, sorry." I mumbled, trying to untangle myself from him. He stopped me, and we stood there, staring at each other.

"...Will," I said, something in his eyes made me stop. As if attracted by magnets, our lips slowly moved towards each others. Just as they hit, I got shocked. I jerked away, and we busted up laughing.

"Im sorry," Will said, finally able to talk. I shook my head.

"S'okay." I said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. It was growing fast. He looked at me a moment.

"Your beautiful," he whispered. I looked up at his sultry eyes, and saw they were burning.

"Will, I...I mean..." I faltered. He put a finger to my lips.

"Dont say anything. It will lose any beauty. No one should say anything. Just let their actions talk for them." I closed my eyes and sighed. He gave me a small kiss on my forhead then I heard his footsteps die away.

I walked slowly back to my cabin, forgetting why I was going to go up to the deck. And, as if in a dream like state, I floated to the straight back chair by my desk, and sat down, a smile playing about my lips.

"THATS IT! IM GUNNA KILL HER!" I was quickly snapped out of my reverie by an angry and flushed Elizabeth storming into my cabin.

"You really should think about a calm life-style. All of this stress must be demanding on your health." I said calmly. I sat there, my posture straight, my poise unbreakable. I was once again, the cool courtier, a fine lady. Afterall, I did have royal blood in me, however minute.

"First you come here, with that sniveling brat. Then you steal my beau! And you take everyones attention. You are a lousey pirate. And now you have the whole goddamned ship hanging around your skirts! I hate you Coralie Gregory. I damn the day you came aboard." She shrieked, advancing to were I was sitting. I reached into my desk drawer and pulled out a pistol. She imediately stood still.

"I had once said that if you ever came near me again, I would not hesitate to shoot you. You seem to have forgotten that day though it wasnt that long ago. Now, I want you to tell me the truth." I saw, out of the corner of my eye, Jack and Will come running in. She didn't notice, however. Her full attention was on the barrel of the pistol on my hand.

"Did you kill Aaron?" I asked slowly. When she didn't answer, I cocked the pistol, and put my finger on the trigger. "Did you kill Aaron?" I hissed again.

"Y..y...yes." She finnaly sputtered.

I gave a small smirk. "Anything else you would like to tell me?"

"No," She whispered. I nodded to Jack, and he rushed forward, seizing her by the shoulders and dragging her away. Will shook his head, sadly.

"I dont know why I went through all that trouble to save her." He said, in a defeated voice. I put the pistol back into the desk drawer.

"Well, at least you'll be rid of her soon enough." I sighed.

"Thank God."
