chapter nine:green monsters

"I thought we were just getting a sword." Lynn chuckled as she and Jack walked back to the ship. He grinned.

"Hey! I bought you a sword, why can't I buy something for me?" he asked.

"Oh, so your planning on wearing a dress? I didn't know you were into that." Jack nudged her in the side at the comment. Lynn burtsted into laughter as she pictured Jack in a dress.

"I'm planning on watching you wear it." he replied. Lynn stopped laughing and smiled uncomfortably. She felt strange...like when she did right before Jack had kissed. She liked the feeling though.

"Who said I'm going to wear it?"

"I do! I'm the captain...you wouldn't go against captain's orders."

"I won't, but being blind doesn't exactly help when you put on a dress that's laced on the back."

"I'll help you." This time Lynn nudged Jack in the side who grinned mischievously.

"Thanks, but I think I'll get Elizabeth to help me." They stopped in front of the little boat that would take them back to the Pearl. "Maybe...you could discribe it to me." she asked softly. Jack smiled as he looked at the girl. She looked so pure.

"Happy to luv." he replied as he reached out to brush a strand of hair behind her ear. Lynn smiled as his hand brushed against her cheek.

"Shouldn't we get back to the Pearl? Ephram and Harold will be dying to go ashore." she said. She tried to get into the boat but Jack grabbed her upperarm and pulled her against him. She shivered feeling his strong arms around her waist. He looked down at the girl in his arms and smiled. What was it about him that made him so affraid to hurt her. Why was it that he couldn't even stand the thought of her leaving. He remembered when she had told him she was leaving. The time he learned that she was blind. He would've send any other person away, mostly for their own good. But he couldn't even imagine being on the Pearl without Lynn there after only the short period that had past since he had met her. He grinned as her face turned red. He knew she felt that he was watching her. Slowly he leaned in and kissed her forhead.

"Jack..?" she said softly. He brushed his lips softly against hers. "What are you doing?"

"Ssssh." he whispered. He kissed her again, more passionate then before. Lynn couldn't help but smile into his kisses and return them with same amount of passion. Slowly she brought up her arms and wrapped them around Jack's neck...

Elizabeth swallowed a lump in her troath as she watched the two of them standing on the beach near the little boat. She never imagined it would hurt this much. For a moment she wondered if she would feel the same pain to see Will with another woman. What was wrong with her. Was she really that spoiled. Thinking she could have both men? She knew that wasn't fair to either one of them but still...a part of her.

She looked at Lynn. The girls lips were curled up into a smile as she was kissing Jack. The doubts she had about helping Nathan faded away. All that was left was hatred towards this blind woman. she couldn't deny it...she was jealous of Lynn. Doing as Nathan had suggested would be best. There was no other way to find out if she wanted Jack or Will. Slowly she walked towards the couple.

"You two seem to be getting along." she stated with a forced smile on her face. Jack and Lynn broke the kiss. Elizabeth felt nausious seeing Lynn blush.

"Are you sailing back to the Pearl? Mind if I tag along." Lynn shook her head.

"Offcourse not...perhaps you could help me into the dress Jack baught me?" she smiled. Elizabeth nodded. The smile on her face began to hurt so she quickly walked past the two and got into the boat. Not much later the three of them were standing on deck of the Pearl.

"Let's go into our room." Elizabeth suggested as she took the dress from Jack. "Don't even try to sneek a peek Jack!" she warned him. Jack held up his hands in defence as he watched Elizabeth drag Lynn into their cabin.

"This...is really a good dress for you." Elizabeth stated as she looked at Lynn. The girl smiled nervously as she tried to pull the neckline a little higher.

"I don't know. I think it's a little low cut, don't you think?"

"I don't think Jack will mind." Lynn chuckled. Elizabeth couldn't help but grimace at her own comment. "Do you want me to fix your hair?" Lynn nodded. Elizabeth told her to sit down in the chair wich she did. Elizabeth stepped behind her and untied the leather strap that had held Lynn's hair in that messy bun ever since she first met her. The brown curls fell all the way to the small of her back.

"Done"

"Jack?" Jack turned as he heard Lynn's voice behind him. He loved standing at the helm, even when the ship wasn't moving. He couldn't keep his jaw from dropping. She looked so...right in that dress. Slowly he walked towards her and reached out to take a strand of her hair in his hand.

"You let your hair loose." Lynn blushed.

"Elizabeth did."

"Elizabeth is a genius!" Jack grinned as he looked at the long brown curls. "You look stunning." he said as he eyed her from head to toe. Lynn smiled. Quickly she got on tip toes and planted a kiss on Jack's lips.

"I love you." she smiled when she broke the kiss. Jack looked at the girl...

"I...I..."

"Is Elizabeth here?" Will walked over to the two. He stopped the moment he saw Lynn. Jack grinned as the young black smiths jaw dropped.

"That was my reaction to." he said. "If your looking for Elizabeth she"

"She's right here." Elizabeth smiled as she walked over to the rest of the group. "Doesn't she look beautifull Will. I think we girls need to go out...show of a little. We'll get some tea. While the boys go to the tavern?" she suggestedn. Lynn smiled as she felt Jack's hand sneek around her waist.

"Or..."

"Don't you dare make any inappropriate suggestions Sparrow!" Elizabeth warned.

"But!"

"It's not even dark yet." A grinn appeared on the pirates face as he started nuzzling Lynn's neck. The girl squeeled at the sudden touch.

"Fine, we'll wait untill dark then." he said as he motioned for Will to follow him. "Come on lad, the ladies want tea." Will nodded as he followed hesetantly. Something wasn't right. Why was Elizabeth so chummy with Lynn all of a sudden? He couldn't think of anything so he just followed Jack. Elizabeth smiled at Lynn.

"Let's go then."

"Were are we going?" Lynn asked as she allowed Elizabeth to guide her trough the many streets. She didn't have a clue as to where they were going. She was sure they had left all the store's, tavern's etc, behind. It was to quiet. Suddenly she heard Elizabeth knock.

"We're here." she stated.

"Where are we?" Lynn asked getting a little nervous. Lynn turned to the sound of the door opening.

"Elizabeth...it's good to see you." she gasped. The voice was like ice...A sound she never wanted to hear again. Slowly she backed away from the door, but Elizabeth's hold on her hand tightened. Suddenly she felt Nathan's hand on her upperarm and she was forced into the house. She struggled with all her might and managed to step on his toes, that didn't do much though.

"Thank you Lizzy, and goodluck winning over the captain." Lynn stopped struggling.

"Elizabeth?" Lynn whispered. "You..."

"I..." Feeling Nathan's grib on her tighten she knew she wasn't going anywhere.

"Take care of him." she said letting the tears fall free down her face as Nathan scooped her up and trew her over his shoulder. Last thing she heard was a soft sob escaping Elizabeth's lips and the door close.
