Hi everyone, this is the second to last chapter. But I got the Pirates With Heart 2 already planned out. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Chapter Twelve
The room was warm with lanterns and candles speckling it. The faces surrounding the plates of food and drinks were overwhelming. There were so many people. Davy Jones's old crew and Jack's crew took up the whole sleeping quarters.
After the defeat of Davy Jones everyone had to celebrate. It took a bunch of people to prepare the dinner. People were laughing and having a great time. Will was sitting next to his father and they were talking, most likely getting to know each other.
On deck, Jack was looking out over the water. The sun was setting over the sea, causing the water to sparkle. The storm had disappeared, which left a calm warm night on the Caribbean.
After spending all that time trying to get Davy Jones's heart, he lost it without using it to his advantage. Now there was the Royal Navy out to get them, they just won't give up. Jack told himself, as he thought more about the heart, the only thing he got while he was searching for the heart, was Elizabeth.
He smiled at that thought. Elizabeth was wonderful; she made him happy, happier then the Pearl had ever made him. The Pearl, ah, that I need to get back. He thought, just when he heard footsteps.
"The dinner's downstairs." Elizabeth said with a sly smile on her face. She approached him slowly as she asked, "What are you thinking about captain?" She wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned her head on his chest.
"Oh, just about the future." He replied, looking out at the ocean.
Elizabeth looked at him, "What kind of things in the future?" She asked, looking into his hazel eyes, even though they weren't meeting hers.
"About you." He turned his focus to her, who was looking at him.
He pulled her towards him, they kissed in the sunset. All the things Jack was thinking about just drifted away.
He pulled away, Elizabeth not wanting to and still holding him tight.
"Elizabeth, darling," He muttered into her mouth, "we can continue later."
She pulled away and laid her head on his shoulder, as she played with his shirt button.
The both of them stared into the sunset together, soaking up the moment, because this is pretty much all the time they have alone together. Just them alone with the sea, the clam endless sea.
Sun peered through the cracked open door. Elizabeth fluttered her eyes open, ready for a new day. She took a breath and sat up swinging her legs over the side of the bed.
A moment later there was a knock on the door, "Who is it?" Elizabeth asked politely, slipping a jacket on her arms.
The voice came through the door, "Guess." That voice she recognized. A smile came on her voice, that was the very person she wanted to see right now.
"Come in." Her voice carried out into the hallway where Jack was standing.
He waltzed in with a great big smile on his face; he went right up to her and kissed her tenderly. The day just seemed to be getting better every second.
"Good morning." Elizabeth said, still smiling when they pulled away from each other.
"Do you need anything?" Jack asked twisting her hair around his finger, "We're sending Will ashore to grab some items for us."
"Oh, no I don't." Elizabeth replied, then leaned in and kissed the pirate again. She pulled away softly, staring into his eyes. "I'll be up in a minute."
"Yes, and we will continue later." He said with a sly smirk, and backed away from her.
"You always say that." Elizabeth stated, as she playfully giggled.
He didn't answer; she blew him a kiss as he walked out the door. Elizabeth plopped down on her bed, she felt like her heart was fluttering around in her body. She couldn't help it, she was mad about him.
Elizabeth pulled herself together and got ready to go up on deck.
"…and that's what we need." Barbossa told Will, handing him five shillings.
Will nodded his head at the directions, "I got it." He assured Barbossa, jingling the money in his hand.
Behind him Pintel and Gibbs got the long boat ready for Will to go ashore.
They had stopped at a port west of Tortuga. That night they noticed that they needed some things to head back to Tia Dalma's.
Jack had talked to Barbossa last night too, and they made a plan to regain the Pearl from the depths of Davy Jones's locker. And that Jack would be captain, but Barbossa would be something like captain, more like a second captain. It was hard for Barbossa to agree, but Jack offered him a big hat, and extra money if he agreed with him.
"Will," Gibbs spoke, "the long boat is ready."
Will loaded the boat, excited and a little nervous to go ashore. What is there is Royal Navy out on every island looking for us? He shook the question from his mind, if there was Royal Navy, why would he be nervous.
Jack stepped up on the deck, when he saw them lowering Will down into the sea.
Jack walked over to the side, "Good luck." Jack shouted at him.
Will looked up at Jack and yelled back, "Why do I need it?"
Jack answered his question, "You don't." HE grinned at him, and then he walked over to Barbossa.
He stood by Barbossa, standing there completely silent, with only a smile on his face.
Barbossa looked at him, "You seem," He took a brief pause in degust, he couldn't believe he was saying this, "happy."
Ever since Jack and Elizabeth got together, Jack had been happier, the crew noticed it; Barbossa noticed it and so did Will.
It was a long row to shore; they had to anchor the ship out of sight, just in cause of the Royal Navy.
Will's arms were getting tired and there was still a long distance before he even entered the port.
He didn't know why they were sending him ashore, it was probably a way to get rid of him, so Jack and Elizabeth don't have to feel so awkward around him. Ah, Elizabeth. I'll never stop loving her. He sighed in grief as he rowed the boat.
He rounded a corner of the island, and he was finally in the port.
The docks were bustling with sailors; there were loads of ships and boats. It was more crowded then Port Royal.
He brought his boat on the beach, and safely secured it so it wouldn't float away on him. Then he was off to search the town.
It wasn't much of a town; there were a few bars and shops. There was a blacksmith shop, which brought back memories of Port Royal again.
He decided to go into the Blacksmith shop for his first item.
The crew was a having a break on the deck, with rum bottles in their hands. They were laughing and dancing to some songs, Gibbs, Pintel, and Ragetti were singing. They were swinging each other around, and stumbling every once and a while.
Barbossa was enjoying the moment, just by watching them; he would chuckle at their stupid jokes.
Jack was standing next to him, not enjoying it much, because he was getting anxious for Will to get back. He tapped his foot at the beat of the songs and that was about it. Then when he was about to go and move somewhere else he felt a tap on his shoulder.
He had no doubt who it was, so he turned around to see Elizabeth there. She looked absolutely gorgeous to him, even though she was in men's clothing.
She looked at him and kissed him a quick peck, and then she found a perfect spot on his shoulder to lay her head on.
He put his arm around her as they stand there enjoying the crew's silliness. Elizabeth laughed at everything they did; she even sang along to the song that she taught Jack. He must have taught them that song.
She looked at him, "So you did teach them the song." Elizabeth said, poking her elbow into his side playfully.
"Yes I did, I like that song." Jack said, remembering the time on the beach, of course he couldn't remember much, he was drunk that night. But, he did remember that song clearly.
Barbossa glanced over the side of the ship to see if Will was back yet, but instead he saw a Navy Ship.
"SHIP!" Barbossa yelled at the crew, "Stop your drinking." He pointed over to the ship that was growing larger.
The crew sprung into action, not wasting another precious second.
Jack let go of Elizabeth, "Please, keep yourself safe." Jack told her in a soft tone, but yet again it was demanding.
"I will." Elizabeth smiled, and kissed him one more time before they had to separate.
She was nervous for him, every time something like this happens, Elizabeth gets scared. Being in love with a pirate is risky, they're never safe, and there is always someone after them.
She took a deep breath and braced herself for what was about to happen.
