A wet, angry, disgraced Jack waded up to the sandy shore of the small island and threw his sopping effects onto the sand along with the severed rope that had bound his hands. He lifted his dreadlocked head to look back at the now-retreating Black Pearl.
"That's the second time I've had to watch that man sail away with my ship," he said solemnly to Elizabeth. Sighing, she walked over to him.
"Look, I'm sure you'll find it again. We'll have to. In order to save Will, that is," she said. He looked at her hopelessly.
"And 'ow do you think we'll do that?" he asked.
"Well with Robin I'm sure the three of us can come up with some sort of escape plan. I mean you did escape from this island once on your own," said Elizabeth. Jack's expression turned from solemnity, to annoyance, to anger.
"Where is she? Where is that cocky little devil girl?" he spat in anger, glaring at Elizabeth.
The governor's daughter closed her mouth, pointing dumbly towards the trees. Jack unsheathed his sword, stalking into the trees.
Robin was situated high up in one of the palm trees, holding onto the top for dear life, trying to shield her body with the leaves. Jack smiled an insane smirk, walking slowly, eyes wide, through the thin forest.
"Rrooooobbbbbbbiiinnnnnnn! Oh Rrrrrrrrooooooooooobbbbbiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnn! Come out come out wherever ye are! Come on now luv, don't be shy! I just want ta see ye fer a minute," he said, looking around slowly.
Robin grabbed onto another leaf, shielding her face in fright. She'd only seen Jack when he was plotting something. God knew how he was when he was furiously enraged. She swallowed.
"Now now luv. Ye know I don' take to treason too kindly," said Jack.
"What do you want then?" asked Robin daringly. Jack looked up at her and a kind of raging fire sprang into his eyes although he was still smiling oddly.
"I want an explanation," he said, dropping the smile.
"Or what?" asked Robin.
"Or I'll be forced to hurt you. Very…very…very badly," he said in a strained voice. "And don' test me, luv. I will. I have, and I will, no matter who it is."
Robin climbed down the wooden trunk slowly, hopping two feet to the ground and facing him coolly.
"Go on then, do your worst," she said, standing up straight, looking into his fiery brown eyes. He looked into her cold, emotionless ones and softened a little.
"Jus' tell me why you told 'im about everything," he said in a calmer voice. Robin looked away.
"I told him I'd tell him everything if he promised not to hurt you," she said. Jack stood there in silence for a moment.
"Wha'?" he asked. Robin glanced at him.
"I knew the first thing he'd do would be to kill you along with everyone on the ship and find the medallion…so I bargained…"
"Why?" asked Jack, reaching out and turning her head towards him so they were looking into each other's eyes.
"You were my first friend in this goddamn time…and…"
"And, luv?"
"I think I might have feelings for you…" said Robin. Jack looked at her.
"Yer jokin, righ' luv?" he asked. Robin sighed.
"Yes, I'm just joking!" she exclaimed, force-laughing loudly. "I'll see you later Jack!"
She turned and stalked off towards the other side of the island. Jack stood motionless, watching her leave. He was about to walk after her when Elizabeth suddenly stormed up to him, demanding he get her off this island the way he got off last time immediately.
