Time Passes, Love Begins
It had been a year since the day of my escape and Jack and I were on the same island. We had gone off of it, but the navy had found us and now we were back on the island. The only thing that really changed was that I had feelings for Jack, and I was wearing some of the clothes that he let me borrow from him instead of a dress. I never knew these feelings before, and quit frankly, they scared me. "Yo Ho Yo Ho a pirates life for me!" Jack and I shouted loudly as we ran, skipped, and jumped around a big fire we made. I felt very different and I was slurring my words. Jack slurred his words to, but he always talked like that. I linked one arm with his and held my bottle of rum with the other. We twirled around and around. I tilted my head back and laughed into the night sky. Jack laughed with me as we kept spinning. Jack tripped and fell down on his back. He flailed his arms trying to grab onto something. He got hold of my wrist and pulled him self into a sitting position and I fell to the ground besides him. I put my head on his shoulder. "How are you liking the third time on this island?" I asked him. "Love it luv." He said stroking my hair. I looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star. "Look Jack, a shooting star." I said. "Make a wish luv." Jack said taking my hand. "We will always be together." I whispered. "I can make that possible." Jack said looking straight into my eyes. I blushed and smiled. "I love that smile luv." Jack said and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. I leaned into his hand and closed my eyes. I then got a great idea. I opened my eyes to see Jack face close to mine. His eyes were closed and he kept leaning in. I jumped up and ran towards the water. Jack stared at me like I was mad, and then he smiled at me and chuckled. "Playing hard to get aye luv?" Jack asked getting up. "You can call it whatever you want." I laughed and tripped over my self. I landed on my back and saw Jack running towards me. I got up and skipped, jumped, ran, and did all sorts of crazy things. I felt the water hit my go up to my ankles and I twirled around and around. I stood on my toes and stretched out my arms straight as a strong breeze came and blew my red hair with a silver bead that had silver thin pieces dangling from it that Jack gave me when he rescued me from his muteness first mate, Barbossa. I opened my eyes and could tell that Jack was trying to sneak up on me. I ran to my left and saw Jack fall into the water. I laughed when he came up and started running after me. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. "You will never catch me!" I yelled. All the sudden, Jack wrapped his arms around my waist and we fell into the water. I turned around so that I could face Jack, and smiled. "I got you now luv." Jack said and smiled, showing me his gold teeth. "Looks that way Mr. Sparrow." I said and laughed out of pure happiness. He pushed back a strand of my hair and I blushed. He put his hand under my head and pushed it up. I could feel his breath on my lips and I smiled again and closed my eyes. "Jack?" I heard someone ask from the woods as our lips graced on another's. My eyes shot open and gave a terrified expression. Jack looked down at me and gave a small smile. "Well, if it isn't Will." Jack said getting up off of me and helping me up. "Oh, I am sorry, I didn't think that I was interrupting anything important." The man, that was apparently named Will, said. "Korie luv, can us men have a, small chat?" Jack asked. "Sure." I said as he let go of my waist. They walked over towards the woods and I sat back down in the water.
"Why are you here Will?" I asked impatiently looking over towards Korie who was sitting down in the water staring up in the sky. "I need your compass." He stated bluntly. "Sorry mate, but I am currently using it." I said waving him off. "Jack! I need it so that Elizabeth and I will get free from jail!" He shouted. Korie looked over at us and I smiled. She smiled back and looked into the sky again, her long red hair blowing in the breeze. "Well mate, I hate to break it to ye, but I, as I have said before, am currently using it." I said. "Jack! There is a ship! Look!" I heard Korie shout. I looked over and she was running over to me. I held out my arms and she ran into them. I hugged her and swayed for a minute. I looked over and knew what ship it is in an instant. "That is the Pearl luv, nothing to be afraid of." I said. 'Wait, the "Pearl". I can use that as an excuse to get away.' I thought. "Well, sorry to cut this short, but have to go." I said taking Korie's hand and running towards my ship. "Wait! Jack!" I heard Will scream. Korie looked back. "Don't mind him." I yelled over my shoulder. We dived in the water and went to my ship. "Gibbs, get to any were from here." I said and helped Korie up on my ship. "Come on luv, I'll get you some clothes." I said taking her to my cabin. "Who are Will and Elizabeth?" I asked. "Two people that I didn't want to ever see again." I said grabbing a shirt and pants for Korie. "Thanks." She said and got up and walked out to her room. "So close." I said to myself. 'So close before Will barged in!' I shouted in my head.
I got in my room and jumped onto my bed. "So close!" I said. I went up and closed the door and changed. I brushed my hair out and crawled into bed, going under the sheets. I laid there looking up at the sealing deep in thought. I found my self-drifting off into sleep by the rocking of the boat.
