Okay, Chapter Three
Disclaimer: If I owned Pirates of the Caribbean, the third one would be out right now.
(( F Y I: It comes out May 25th, if you didn't already know))
It was now dark outside. Elizabeth had looked around and found a spare match in the ship, and Jack was lighting the Fire. A full moon had come up, embracing the island in a soft glow. Jack had a bottle of rum in his hand, but for once was being surprisingly careful about how much he drank. He didn't want to get drunk tonight. Elizabeth did not drink the rum, but rather the water from the pond. She had better things to do than get drunk, also. Plus it was not proper for young ladies to drink the stuff. But then… Nothing else she had done had been proper…
Jack looked over at Elizabeth, who was picking up seashells. Her hair shone in the moonlight. He wanted to run his fingers through it… She was so beautiful. She looked back at him. He waved. He pretty much hated Will right now…
Elizabeth found a particularly pretty shell. She held it up to the moonlight. It was shiny. The fire reflected in it, and so did… was he staring at her? She looked down at the beach, pretending to look for another shell. She tucked the first one away. And started towards the blazing fire. It was getting cold out…
Jack saw Elizabeth coming over to the fire. He pulled up a log that was big enough for ten men to sit on, hoping that she would be impressed by his strength. As far as he knew, she didn't even notice.
The fire was warm, but Elizabeth was still cold. She inched a bit closer to Jack. Jack didn't mind at all, so she went even closer. She soon found herself leaning her head on his shoulder. Jack was a bit surprised, but he obviously didn't mind. He put his weathered arm around her. She smelled like… a mixture of the sea, and lavender soap.
It was midnight before the fire died down, and Elizabeth had made the decision to sleep in the hut. Jack dragged some blankets off the ship. They slept on either end of the hut all through the night, but when they awoke In the morning they were right next to each other. They opened their eyes at the exact same moment, and upon seeing each others face in theirs, screamed. They hastily got up, and Jack started rambling on about how they must've been cold in the night… needed body heat… that kind of thing. But Elizabeth was just… thinking.
Elizabeth folded the blankets and set them aside, while Jack started out looking for something to eat. He came back with a bunch of bananas. They ate the bananas, then Jack said he wanted meat, so he was gonna go try and kill something. Then, before he left, he kissed Elizabeth on the cheek. They both turned red, then Jack stammered… I… I didn't mean that! And then ran. Which was very unlike Captain Jack Sparrow, he just wasn't that kind of guy. Elizabeth put her hand to her cheek, then looked up at the sky.
La Dee Dah… I love fluff!
