Thank you, reviewers. I feel so honored. I will not have a computer for a few days, so I won't update for a while.

Chapter Five- Mutiny

You wait here," Jack told Elizabeth. "I'm not done talking with you." He walked out of the cabin. Elizabeth starred after him, comprehending what they had just said. So he loved her? That's what he had said. She sat on the bed and put her head in her hands. Why would he love her? She gulped. He was right, she loved the feeling of being a pirate, sailing the seas, looking out for only you, the excitement, the terror, the love.

She jerked her head up when she heard a yell from outside. She walked to the door, putting her ear against it, hearing more yells and commotion. Turning the knob, she gently pushed open the door. The sight before her shocked her. There were creatures. The same creatures from the underwater cave. They were carnivorous, but they were also climbing, yes climbing, up the side of the ship. Elizabeth gaped. They must have been amphibious.

"Lizzy, go back in the cabin." Jack said, coming up to her. 'Wouldn't want to ruin your beautiful figure." He smiled, smugly.

"Jack, I can be out here if I want to." She waltzed passed him, picking up her sword the pirates had discarded from her earlier when they captured her. She unsheathed it, swinging it in front of her. As the first one jumped over the railing of the ship, she felt a raindrop hit her in the back. Jack stepped in front of her, and slashed out at the snapfin.

"Sorry, luv," he told her. "I just love to have the first kill. Next one is all yours, I promise." Elizabeth bit her lips, hiding back anger. As the next one came on, Elizabeth swung her sword at it, but it reared back. She left a gaping wound on its forearm. It let out a nasty howl and swiped her sword out of her hand. She flung herself backwards, trying to get away from it, when Jack stepped in. He brought his blade sword up against it's fangs with a metal clang, slicked through the back of its mouth, pushing it backwards over the railing of the ship.

"Lizbeth, go back to the cabin." Jack told her.

"You think just because you tell me do something, I'm actually going to do it. I haven't gone back any other time I was instructed to, I'm going to do it now? Well if that's the case, then your wrong, Jack Sparrow because…"

"It's Captain." Jack said, trying to keep himself calm. "Listen, Lizzy, just stay out the way, at least. Leave the fighting for Ol' Jack here. Now, go."

He pushed her, not intending to do it as hard as he actually did. She stumbled against the door of the Captain's cabin. She stood there, unarmed and helpless just watching the crew fight off the beasts. One turned to her, and began to crawl, determined right at her. It raised its head, ready to strike her, when a sword end came protruding though the stomach as Will stood to the side of it. He glared at Elizabeth, not saying a word, then walked away.

As suddenly as it started, the creatures stopped, retreating back into the waters. She just stared into the water, not paying much attention to anything else around her until she heard someone say, "I say Jack should be captain."

Another piped up. "Aye. Jack'll keep us out of danger."

"He'd better than you, Barbossa. You are the one who lead those monsters to us"

Elizabeth turned to see the crew crowded around Jack and Barbossa. Jack, grinning at Barbossa, who was trying to maintain his composure,. "You heard the people, Barbossa. They want me."

"Why would you actually want Jack to captain you? He's delusional; he's a filthy slimy, ball of mud." Barbossa argued.

"I'm some cultures, Mud is worshiped." Jack shot back. He stood up straight and began to walk in a slow circle around Barbossa. "I'll tell you what, mate. You give up now and I won't have to abandon you on some god forsaken island, and leave you to die."

Barbossa began to advance on Jack, who then yelled. "Grab him!" The two nearest pirates grabbed both his hands, holding him back. "Tie him up." A few moments later, another pirate came with a rather thick rope. They pushed Barbossa up against the mast, and wound the rope around him.

"You have two choices mate. The first is, I can leave you tied up there, and wait for you to die. The second, you can give up your position as captain to me and be a normal helpful member of my crew. Either way I will end up as captain. You have to face it, mate. They just like me better."

To everyone's surprise, Barbossa laughed. "Alright, Jack, you have me. Go ahead, take the position as Captain." There was something odd about it. Barbossa didn't seems like the kind of person that would die protecting his position, not give it up just because he's tied up.

However, that seemed to be good enough for Jack, who took his sword and cut the ropes holding Barbossa down.

He walked away from them and yelled, "Let's sail for the shores, mates. That's the safest place now."

At the sound of his voice, the crew got to work, getting the sails back and Jack took his place at the wheel. Elizabeth had a sudden urge to have Jack's lips on hers. She wanted to be by his side. She didn't recognize this feeling. She had never felt it for Will, and she wasn't even sure what it meant, but she went over to Jack.

"Well, captain," Elizabeth placed a kiss on his cheek. "How does it feel?"

Jack fidgeted uncomfortably "To have you next to me? Wonderful."

Elizabeth smiled, and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Jack, I thought we had to finish our talk."

"I've changed my mind." He looked her in the eyes. "Lizzy, you don't love me, that's all I need to know." He tried to shrug her off his shoulder. Elizabeth looked stunned. "Gibbs, take the wheel."

Gibbs did so, and Jack walked away, leaving Elizabeth staring after him. "Jack's a hard one to understand." Gibbs tried to tell her, but Elizabeth wasn't listening to him.

"Jack, would you look at that?" Barbossa yelled across the deck as they came closer to the island. "It's your island, Jack."

"Well, that's convenient," Jack yelled back. "I was running out of rum. Maybe there's a bottle or two left that Elizabeth hasn't already burned." He walked by Elizabeth, not acknowledging her, and got a boat ready to row to shore.
