DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"Mister Swann…" Weatherby Swann swiveled in his large leather chair to his assistant.
"Yes John?"
"The agents are closing in on the villa…it won't be long."
"Is Agent Turner there? I trust him with my daughter."
"Yes, he is at a nearby military base…he will be there when she comes in…"
"That's enough John, thank you." Elizabeth's father turned back to the portrait of his daughter. He thought of how much she hated his possessive nature, but he only did it to protect her from James Norrington. James was sure to come back for Elizabeth, keeping her close, keeping her in the Presidential office would mean tight security, no room for error. However Elizabeth wanted none of that, she wanted to find Norrington and hunt him down for killing Maggie, his Maggie. It scared him sometimes when he looked at Elizabeth, he thought it was Maggie…his Maggie, taken away so early, so young. Well, today was a day of change, because whatever Elizabeth wanted in life he was going to support, no more making her out to be a prisoner, she was going to get her freedom.
"Elizabeth…where are you?" James entered the lavish bedroom with such a smirk that Elizabeth wanted to puke, but she kept still and her breathing steady. "Elizabeth?"
"Right here." Elizabeth walked out of the bathroom.
"You look absolutely radiant." James admired the silk black dress she wore.
"Thank you." Elizabeth then walked towards the bed. "Let's go."
"What?" James took a step back in astonishment.
"Let's go, let's get this over with." She got up on the bed and crawled her way over to him. "Jump on in, if you're a good boy I'll let you do whatever you want…"
"Why are you speaking like this?" James covered his ears.
"What's wrong James? We a bit inadequate? Perhaps you can't handle a woman like me…"
"Shut up!" James roared. "You are so perfect Maggie! Please don't be like this!"
"I'm not Maggie…I'm Elizabeth, I am nothing like my mother…" Elizabeth then lifted the sheets to the bed. "Come on James, show me your artistic side…" Elizabeth was baiting him and it was working, he looked redder than a pitcher of cool aid.
"Please Maggie…Elizabeth, don't be like this, be nice, be elegant…"
"But that's not what you want James…you want me…all of me…" He screamed. Elizabeth jumped startled at his outburst.
"And I will have you Maggie!" He leaped towards Elizabeth and grabbed her wrists. "Maggie, tell me how good of a student I am…"
"You're a very good student James, one of my best." He was having a psychotic episode, Elizabeth realized she had pushed too far.
"Maggie…" James touched Elizabeth's cheek. "Maggie…" He pushed Elizabeth to her back. James climbed on top of her and held her down. Elizabeth kept her composure as her mind raced with ways to get herself out of this. James leaned over and whispered into her ear softly. "Tell me I am beautiful…"
Elizabeth glanced to her left. "You are an ugly monster James…" He wretched upward and Elizabeth smashed the vase over his head. Elizabeth leaped off of the bed and saw the Land Rover pull up downstairs.
"Elizabeth!" Jack yelled as he, Gibbs, and Harry barreled into the room.
"Jack!" Jack looked to the top of the staircase and smiled. She was alive, she was fine.
Jack saw it before he had a chance to react. James came out of a room and grabbed Elizabeth. They fought…
"Get away from me you pig!" Elizabeth screamed as his clench on her wrists tightened.
"Maggie please stay!"
Suddenly the house erupted in screams. "FBI get down now!" Several trained agents along with the French authority had their scopes set on James's chest.
James grabbed Elizabeth around the waist and held her as a shield to him. "You're going to have to go through her!"
Jack watched with a fear building in his belly, things were bad, very bad. "Let Agent Swann go now!" A tall slender man was shouting.
"Matt he isn't right in the head!" Elizabeth yelled as Elizabeth's supervisor stepped forward.
"Shut up!" James shook Elizabeth. Jack watched as Elizabeth's eyes finally fell to his. She was in a world of pain, he could see it clearly, she needed out of there.
"James…" Jack looked at James, the craziness that flickered their made Jack think severely about what he was about to do. Jack then headed for the stairs. "Your outnumbered, you only have Elizabeth to protect you…that isn't much." Jack was now half way up the stairs. "Seriously, just hand the lady over and perhaps these guys won't turn you into a screwed up loaf of Wonder Bread. What do you say?"
"No…" Elizabeth then fell to her knees as her body convulsed. James took a step back as he watched her collapse.
Jack immediately ducked to the ground besides Elizabeth. "Elizabeth, stay with me darling…" Jack touched her cheek.
James muttered something and ran off. Jack heard the pounding of feet on the staircase as the FBI ran after him. Jack without hesitation picked Elizabeth up and started down the stairs. "Don't move!" It was her supervisor, Matt.
"Listen boss, I am going to take her to the Military base, no where else. Deal with the bastard upstairs…" Jack looked into the man's eyes. "I won't hurt her."
"Go." Jack ran out the large mahogany doors. He sighed in relief as he saw Gibbs and Harry were waiting in the Land Rover, keeping it running.
"Hand her over Jack." Harry said as he swung the back door open.
"Jesus, what happened?" Gibbs said as he slammed the truck into gear.
"She just collapsed." Jack touched her cheek. She had stopped shaking, she was only still…and that scared him. "Elizabeth love, stay with me…" Jack cradled her in his arms. "Come on Elizabeth…"
"Jack, you've got to keep her conscious." Harry said as he looked at the pale young woman.
"Gibbs, can we go any faster?" Jack asked impatiently.
"Just hold on, we're almost there."
"Agent Turner?" A young solider approached him with paperwork.
"Yes?" Will turned from another agent.
"You were awaiting word on a woman being brought in?"
"Yes…"
"Look at this." Will's eyes widened.
"How long ago was she admitted?" Will walked side by side with the solider.
"Not long, minutes."
"Where is she now?"
"Since she was expected, she is already having a CT, they are running a full toxin screen…we are doing anything and everything…the President has even interjected." The young man looked paled in the face. "I am her physician…"
"Well, then you have a huge responsibility. What are you doing here then?"
"The men she came in with, actually one in particular told me to find you."
"Jack…" When Will walked into the waiting room, Jack was seated alone. Will suddenly saw the vulnerability in Jack Sparrow, it was Elizabeth.
