Chapter 10
Silver woke up, blinked, and said to herself, "Where am I?"
She snapped back into reality and realized she was in Jack's room. Again.
Why do I always end up waking in Jack's room?
She turned to her side and saw Jack sleeping beside her, arm around her waist. She smiled, kissed him on the cheek and thought, He looks so peaceful when he's asleep. Gently taking his arm and removing it from her waist, she pulled the covers off of herself and stood up. Stretching, she grabbed a dagger and threw it at the door. It landed next to the handle, and she walked towards it, singing.
…Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while
But my god it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold…
She stopped, looking at the dagger, then at the handle, then back at the dagger. She pulled the dagger out, and kicked the door. It broke free, and Silver walked out the door smiling. "I'm free! I'm free! I'm free at last!"
Elizabeth and Will, who were out on the deck discussing more about the baby, turned and gave her a puzzled look.
"Jack's cabin was locked last night, so I had to end up staying there. What time is it?"
"It's 11 o' clock…" started Elizabeth.
Will laughed. "Jack's door doesn't lock, Silver."
"It doesn't!" cried Silver.
"No, Jack told me to take the locks off his door so he wouldn't accidently lock himself in when he got drunk."
"And the doors? Does the humidity expand them?"
"They have humidity protection."
Silver curled her hands into a fist. "That dirty, rotten, little piece of low, low, dirt! He's going to pay."
She went to the door and prepared to yank the inside handle. Taking a second thought, she went inside and grabbed Jack's hat, his sword and the rest of his rum stash. Bringing it all outside, she took out her sword and brought it down upon the handle. The handle was cut off and landed with a loud thunk. Jack stirred, and Silver smiled evilly as she pulled the door short.
"Rum anyone?" she cried, and Elizabeth groaned.
"Oh, I'm sorry E! Did you already have your half a bottle?"
"Yes. I need more!"
Silver gave her a look of disgust, and turned towards Will. "Green apples?"
"We don't have any in the kitchen."
"Okay, hold on." Silver walked off towards Mr. Gibbs.
"Gibbs!"
"Aye aye, Silver!"
"Where's the next town?"
"Port Maiden."
"Fine, we'll dock there."
"But, Captain's orders---" Gibbs questioned.
"Captain's orders are to be discarded. We will shall stop at Port Maiden, get some supplies, and then we'll sail on."
"Aye aye!"
"Thunk!"
"Blast it I'm trying to sleep!" roared Jack. He looked beside him, and saw nothing. "Silver?"
He rubbed his head and stood from the bed. "Where's me hat?" he asked himself, searching the room.
"Where's me sword!" he cried in frustration. He walked into his closet and checked to see if the rum was still there.
"She stole me rum!" Jack stomped off to his door, and looked at it hard. "She took me handle!"
"That's right Jack!" cried a voice from the other side.
"Ye dirty little trickster!"
"Me? A trickster? Who told me that the door was locked, just so he could sleep with me?"
"Is that a trick question?"
Silver groaned. "Ye is a horrible, horrible captain, and I can't believe that I every liked you! No one uses Silver Sparrow! I am not a prostitute, whore, wench, or entertainment!" she shouted, kicking the door everynow and then for emphasis. She put her hands on her hips and stared at the door.
"I hope you're happy in there, Jack, because it's hell out here!"
Will laughed, and Elizabeth moaned, "Rum…rummy rum-rum rum!"
"Silver, please, let me explain!"
"No!" Silver stomped off towards the starboard side.
Will laughed, and opened the door for Jack. "We'll get you a new handle in Port Maiden."
"Port Maiden? We're not going to Port Maiden."
"Now we are, Silver's orders!" shouted Gibbs.
"Silver's orders! Since when do ye scallywags listen to Silver?"
"Since she came aboard?" said a crewmember.
"Oh."
Jack turned around and saw Silver, leaning on the rail facing the ocean. Her shoulders shivered, and she let slip a small sob.
"Silver, please, listen to me," coaxed Jack, as he carefully walked towards her.
"No. Why should I?"
"Silver, don't be unreasonable…"
"Unreasonable? Unreasonable! You're the one being unreasonable!"
"I am?"
Silver didn't answer, she just started to take her boots off, followed by her swords, dagger, sheaths, and put her hair in a ponytail.
Jack chuckled. "After accusing me of calling you a wench, someone's starting to act like one."
Silver turned around, tears streaking her face. Struggling, she began to stand on the rail.
"What are you doing, luv?"
Silver let out another sob, and dove into the water. "Silver!" cried Jack. He ran over and peered over the rail. The only thing to be seen was the ripples of water where she landed.
Will rushed over and asked, "What happened?"
"Silver commited suicide!"
"Where?"
"There!" shouted Jack, pointing towards the water.
"Oh my god!" screamed Elizabeth.
"Hold my things, and don't loose them!" said Jack, as he took off his effects and gave them to Will. Diving into the water, he tried looking for Silver, but he didn't see anything. Thinking she must have sunken, he went up for a breath of air, and dove back down.
As Elizabeth clung onto Will, the both of them watching to see Jack and Silver surface, Silver cried out, "What's going on?"
Elizabeth turned around and shrieked. "What are you doing?"
There, standing on the deck dripping wet, was Silver.
"I found this?" Silver sheepishly held out a soggy doll.
"You mean you jumped in the water for that?"
"No, don't you see? Elizabeth, this is yours…"
"What?"
"It's the doll your mother gave you, the day before she past away…"
"Really?" Elizabeth rushed over towards Silver, and held the doll tenderly in her hands.
"Why were you crying?" asked Will.
"You never met Elizabeth's mom, did you? She was a wonderful lady, and she was like a mother for both of us. I miss her, that's all."
"Silver…?" started Elizabeth, when Silver interrupted with, "Where's Jack?"
"He went down looking for you," replied Will.
"Oh my god, no!" exclaimed Silver, as she jumped back in the water.
Minutes later, both of them were back on the both, and Elizabeth got out two of Jack's old coats for both of them, but Jack just kept holding on to Silver.
"Why did you jump in?"
"To get the doll."
"A doll?"
"Yes, a doll. It was a gift to Elizabeth from her mother."
"Interesting…"
There was a pause, then Silver asked, "Why did you jump in?"
"Um…you were trying to commit suicide?"
"No I wasn't!"
"Yes ye were!"
"No."
Jack changed the subject. "Why were you crying?"
"Mrs. Swann was like a mother to me. She had red hair, and Elizabeth always called her mother, mine, and she was an orphan. It was a game we used to play, I guess."
There was another pause, and Silver sighed. "We both know we're lying, so I'll tell the truth."
"Captain Jack Sparrow does not lie!"
"But Jack does."
Jack grunted. Silver smiled and said, "I was crying because I miss you. The old you, the one who loved me tenderly, who was always there to make my day better, the bright light in my dark life. He's dead to me now. He's gone, and I'm afraid that I'll never see that Jack again."
Jack groaned, and said, "I jumped in because…"
"Because?"
"Because you own me a handle."
"Oh…"
Silver smiled, and yawned. "Well then, you owe me a bed. At our next stop, Port Maiden."
She walked off to see Elizabeth.
Will ambled next to Jack and said, "Why didn't you tell her?"
"Tell who what?"
"Tell Silver that you love her."
"Captain Jack Sparrow does not fall in love!"
"Well that's two lies you've told. You do lie, and you do fall in love, and you have fallen in love with Silver."
"I don't know. What if she doesn't love me?"
"She does."
"How do you know?"
"Elizabeth does not lie."
"She doesn't?"
"Not when it comes to you two."
"You two talk about me and Silver behind our backs?"
"Yes," answered Will, and he strode off towards his cabin.
