Chapter Six
The wicked wind made the sails whip and snap as Barbossa stood at the wheel of the ship. Jack was standing aside him, they were disagreeing with something about which way to go or something of that nature.
Will was practicing sword fighting with a crew member, and Elizabeth was down in the kitchen helping the cook make dinner. Everything seemed to fall in place since Jack came back into their lives.
Will still hated him of course, but he was never planning on telling him that. Will hit his sword against the crew member and stopped when he noticed that the weather changed, it got chilly and it started sprinkling. He said to the crew member, "Let's keep going." They started their swordfight once again.
Down in the kitchen Elizabeth was roasting a pig for the captain and she was helping chop some onions when she needed a break, because the onions were making her eyes water.
She whipped her eyes with a rag and stepped out of the door, a cool breeze from the deck made her shiver. She rapped her arms around her body and walked up on the deck. It was raining harder than before, rain dripped down her face and that made her even colder. So she went down below again.
Elizabeth decided to go into the Captain's room and sit in there for awhile. There were lanterns everywhere, and that made the room toasty warm.
Up on the deck Jack and Barbossa were still arguing about, who knows what. Jack opened his compass and pointed at it furiously. Barbossa just shook his head then he told Jack, "Let me take it from here."
Jack just looked at him and walked down the stairs to where Will was still practicing with his sword. Jack said to Will when he got closer, "Nicely done Turner."
Will just looked at him and gave a little grin and turned back to his partner. Jack turned away and looked out toward the open sea and smelled the cool salty air, Jack was drenched and cold.
He went down in the kitchen to see how Elizabeth was doing with the cooking. When he got there the smell of pork, onions and other good smelling things filled his nostrils. He opened the door to just find the cook in there, where was Elizabeth? Jack closed the door behind him and continued down the short hallway to the Captains room.
He opened the door to find Elizabeth standing at the huge window that was covered in fog and rain drops from the outside. Jack shut the door louder then he expected. Elizabeth jumped and turned around, with her hand on her heart. When she saw Jack she sighed in relief. "You gave me a fright!" She said a little shook up.
Jack just smiled at her and said, "I didn't mean to." Elizabeth turned back towards the window, watching the rain stream down the fogged up glass. Jack came up beside her and stated, "Miserable weather."
Elizabeth answered his statement, "Yes, yes it is." She looked at his face, he was so calm and peaceful now. She liked the peace between them, every sense what happened. "I'm sorry Jack." Then she put her head on his shoulder.
He said without looking down at her, "You did what you had to do."
She continued, "I felt terrible though." She took her head off his shoulder and touched the glass so that the fog would form perfectly around her fingers and palm. Elizabeth spoke up again, "It must have been horrible." Then she took her hand off and put her other hand on the cold glass.
Jack answered her, "Yes it was. I'm alive though." After that sentence Elizabeth felt his rough hand go on top of hers on the glass window. She looked at him surprised, then she looked into his eyes. Jack put his hands on the back of Elizabeth's head as if to bring her to him, their lips came together in a passionate kiss. They stood their holding each other tight as if they were never going to let go.
On the deck Will had stopped his sword practice and was leaning up against the railing looking out over the foggy sea. Just has he was about to move he saw a ship come through the fog, like a giant sea monster. Will abruptly jumped into action, he knew what ship this was, and it was Davy Jones.
"Will ran up the stairs towards Barbossa yelling, "Ship! Ship!" The crew knew just what to do, so the all went off to go get the cannons ready and loaded.
When Will reached Barbossa's side, he said, "It's Davy Jones." Will pointed out towards the ship, the rough outline of the ship was growing closer every second.
"Let's show them what their up for." He said, then he winked at Will.
Will smiled at him and asked, "Should I go get Jack?"
Barbossa answered, "Yes, and tell him what to do."
Will nodded and headed below, he ran down the stairs and looked down each end of the hallway. He saw a light in the Captain's room, so he headed toward it.
Will flung the door open and his breath got in his throat and a huge lump formed there too. His grip on the doorknob tightened, as his knuckles turned pure +white.
Jack let go of Elizabeth and backed away. When Elizabeth saw Will she put her hands to her mouth, then she cried, "Will I'm sorry, Will…" she didn't get to finish her sentence, because there was a thunder booming crash. Everyone in the room fell backwards and the glass window shattered into a million pieces.
