Chapter 6:
Nothing to be Sorry for Luv
Years and years of pirating had taught Jack to be completely away of his surroundings, even when sleeping. Although he had not slept better ever in his life, the soft creek of the door had him awake and alert.
A series of soft footsteps and the sound of steal rubbing against leather followed the creaking door. Jack was facing away, his eyes fixed on the woman lying next to him in his bed. It had taken him a moment to realize why she was there. Only a moment though. His attention was once again focused on the man approaching with a sword. In a swift movement, Jack rolled over and pulled his sword from the belt hung over the bed post next to his head.
The blades collided with a loud ringing. Elizabeth's eyes shot open. She too took a moment to orient herself. Once she had her bearing she was sitting up, mouth open in surprise and excitement. She had remembered to put her night gown on before falling asleep. "Just in case," She had told Jack as she convinced him to do the same. This was just the case she was anticipating.
"Drunken rage is no way to settle a man's differences," jack said with a grin, "With all the times I have beat you, I'd think you would have learned your lesson by now William."
Will's eyes glowed bright with anger, "If I can't have her, No one will."
Jack's smile faded. He wasn't sure if William meant he intended to kill Jack or he indented to kill Elizabeth. Either way, Jack wasn't about to let it happen. Will moved his blade back for a second try to hit Jack. With a quick, decisive movement, Jack was on his feet and parried Will's blade to the side.
"Are you sure this wise boy? To try to come between me and the woman I love?" Jack said, his lips pursed with anger and, as only Elizabeth was able to see, fear.
'He loves me,' Elizabeth though, as she struggled to decide what to do, 'He's risking his life for me.'
Looking up from her though, Elizabeth noticed that Will's strikes were growing more wild and dangerous. Jack was compensating every one, being careful not to let his anger get the best of him and strike back at Will. Jack knew Elizabeth would never forgive him. Even if she no longer loved William she would not want to see him dead at the hands of Captain Jack Sparrow.
"I should never has said anything to you. I could have had her to myself," Will shouted, his brow glistening with sweat. Without warning, he knelt to the ground and brought his blade into the side of Jack's leg. Jack hissed with pain and jumped back.
"what happened to the rules of engagement?" Jack said with a grin as he staggered backwards. His leg was bleeding badly.
"You're fighting a pirate, remember?" Will said with a grin as he began to close in.
"No!" Elizabeth screamed as she grabbed Jack's sword from his hand and turned on Will, "I can't sit by and watch as you kill him. Nor him you. Please Will, stop this."
Will looked at her, his eyes moist. His hand was shaking. He dropped the sword and fell to his knees. He couldn't look at her. The pain was too much. He still loved her and he regretted ever letting her go. Now she was the mistress of a pirate.
"Elizabeth," Will said, his eyes downcast so as not to catch her gaze, "I… I love you… please…"
Elizabeth opened her mouth to reply just as Mr. Gibbs and several over members of the crew burst into the room. All eyes turned to the door while the men in the doorway looked first from William Turner to Elizabeth, still holding Jack's sword, to Jack who was not sitting heavily on the bed, about to pass out from the loss of blood in his leg.
Mr. Gibbs rushed in and pulled Will to his feet, "Captain, what is going on?"
"Mr. Gibbs," Jack said, his voice staggered and weak, "Lock him in the brig."
Elizabeth turned to Jack and the quickly rushed to his side. The ship's doctor was soon at Jack's side as well. Wrapping several bandages around his wounded leg, the doctor managed to stop the bleeding.
"He'll be fine," The doctor announced as he stood up, leaving Elizabeth to care for her wounded lover. A sigh of relief came from the crew as they lead William away. Elizabeth, now standing next to Jack, convinced him to lie down.
"Jack, I'm… I'm so sorry."
"Nothing to be sorry for Luv," Jack replied, "Wasn't your fault. And as for my leg, I've had far worse."
Elizabeth smiled, comforted by Jack's humor, "At least rest for a while."
"Aye, I'll agree to that," Jack said as he rested his head on the pillow and closed his eyes.
