Ch.11
'I was wondering when you'd show up Elizabeth. But I'm afraid, Willy isn't here right now.' I thought sighing mentally.
If Jack didn't like a hat he'd replace it on someone and took another hat and tried that. We reached the top of the stairs, where it was a bit less chaos. It still surprised me at how natural it felt to do this without a care, and how everything just flowed so easily. I shook my head a bit at this, watching as people threw others off the story, to the main floor. 'This is utterly chaotic and so amusing to watch...' I thought with a smirk. We slipped out of the pup easily and I slipped away from Jack and Gibbs, going over to blacksmiths.
"Yer back a'ain I see." The owner stated coming out from the back, wiping his hands on a rag. The owner was a thick man, bald and very dark brown eyes, he use to be a pirate way back when, sailing as a blacksmith, so he knew his trade well. I had come upon his shop when we had made port, and I wanted to get away from the crew since they were all going to the Faithful Bride, and set out to explore. He was the one who I went to when I needed my weapons to be sharpened, or if I wanted someone who didn't think with the lower part of their brains.
"Aye, needed to get away from the Cap'ain fer a bit Marvin." I chuckled, walking over to the rack of weapons, and started looking at them. I never knew why, but I always seemed to have a knack of finding a weapon that corresponded with the way that I fight. I knew that Marvin was watching me as I eyed his selection. He was an amazing blacksmith, just like Will. I'm allowed to be biased with that, since it was true. I picked up a double bladed knife and twirled it in my hand. I then took its sister into my other and twirled them both with ease. "Just like with daggers."I mused with a grin. I strapped the two onto my thighs and pulled out my sack of money, ready to pay Marvin.
"Not this time lass." He chuckled putting his hand up to stop me. I tilting my head a bit wondering why. Marvin chuckled again, and sent me a grin. "They were made fer ya Gabby." He said, like it was the most casual thing in the world. I couldn't but grin back at him, and twirled the knives in my hands. "Thanks, I'll make good use of these." I said and turned to head out. "I'll be back again when we make port." I said and walked out of the shop, whistling a tune while making my way back to the Pearl.
On my way there I noticed Elizabeth and Norrington walking over as well. I couldn't help chuckle as I stood behind them. I could easily hear what was being said and tried my best not to laugh out loud. I could just imaging the look on Jack's face when Elizabeth said that she as looking for the man she loved. I figured that Jack though she was a boy, by the way she was dressed, but it was easy to tell that it was a girl by her voice.
"Didn't know you liked the company of young men Cap'ain." I said teasingly, before Jack could say anything. Whipping around, both Gibbs and Jack looked at me cautiously. I had one hand in my hip and walked over to them, looking very smug and pleased with myself. It wasn't often that I could make a look of horror show over Jack's face. My other hand was spinning my new weapon a little before I put it back at my side. Jack pouted over at me with his hand in the air, and I grinned, pausing next to him. I patted his cheek, still grinning before going onboard. "Don't make too much noise now, I have watch t'night." I said still teasing Jack.
I could hear Gibbs chuckling quietly, and looked over at me as I disappeared. I could faintly hear him say that I was the only one who'd be able to do what I just did without getting shot. I made my way over to the main mast and climbed up there to help the crew that weren't bringing supplies onto the ship. I kept an eye on what was going on at the dock and couldn't help but shake my head. Once Gibbs gave the go, I swung down to the deck, letting looks the main sail, as did the others, following my lead. I landed next to Gibbs with a crooked smile and shook my head. "Figures Jack would know how to convince 'er." I said leaning against the railing, watching everything get put on deck. Gibbs chuckled beside me and patted my arm. "A lot like William eh?" he said, squeezing my shoulder slightly in comfort. "Eh... just like Willy." I said with a sad smile. As soon as we casted off, Gibbs went back, taking the wheel to steer us in the right direction to our heading.
It was about midday and we were making good speed to our destination. I was sitting on the railing again, having nothing to do and just stared out at the sea. I heard someone walk up to me, and didn't have to look to know that it was Elizabeth. I looked over at her from the corner of my eye, catching her wrist in my own. "What pleasure do I have Miss Swan, to be slapped by you?"I asked blandly, not letting go of her hand, even though she struggled. I wasn't holding on tightly, or in any way that would cause her hurt, but for my own safety, I did not let her go.
"How could you!" she snapped at me, letting me see her true personality, in my opinion anyway. All I did was raise my eyebrow at her. "How could I what?" I asked, already having a faint idea about what this was about. "Will! How could you let him get taken into Davy Jones' crew? Don't you care about him? I thought you were his siste..." I silenced her with a quick slap. It seemed that everyone on the ship had stopped what they were doing and were now watching us. My eyes narrowed at Elizabeth, and you could feel the danger that was starting to surround me. I had let go of her wrist when I slapped her and stood up from the railing.
Before I could do any damage, I was being held back, even though I struggled, I knew it was useless. Gibbs had secured Elizabeth as I continued to glare heatedly at her. "Don't you dare think for one moment that I don't care about Willy!" I yelled pulling against the person who was restraining me from punching the girl. "You have no clue how hard it was to watch him go off, unable to convince him not to! Yer a prissy lil brat who 'as gotten e'erthin she e'er wanted thanks ta 'er daddy dea'est! Ya should realize that not e'eryone is as lucky as you 'n ya should ne'er, e'er think fer one moment that I don' love ma brother. That I don't love Willy." I growled lowly.
It was then that I was pulled against a strong chest, the grip tightening. "Now luv, calm down. I think you've gotten through ta 'er." A deep husky voice whispered into me ear. I tensed a bit, but I didn't back down. "She deserves a whoopin' if ya ask me." I said in a harsh whisper, that only made Jack tighten his grip more around me. I heard Jack sigh and turned to the crew. "What are ya lookin' at? Get back ta work!" He barked his order, and the crew followed them immediately. I felt Jack roughly pull me away to what I suspected to his cabin, while Gibbs pulled Elizabeth to somewhere. Forcefully I pulled into Jacks cabin, and before I could pull myself out, he slammed the door shut and threw me onto the bed, none too lightly mind you. The next thing I knew Jack was straddling me, holding my hands above my head and pinning down my legs with his own. I didn't realize that my body had started to relax on its own until I felt his breath hit my skin.
"Now then. I'm only goin ta ask ya once luv. What was happened. And be truthful." Jack said, not moving an inch. I laid back in defeat and stared up at ceiling, not looking at Jack. "Elizabeth said that I didn't care about Willy, and that I didn't try to stop him from goin to the Flying Dutchman." I said quietly and turned my head away. I felt Jack turn my head with one of his hands and forced me to look at him. "Do you want ta know somethin luv?" Jack whispered, quietly, and despite my best attempts, to ignore it, I looked at him. "What?" I whispered quietly, feeling a bit light headed. My senses were overwhelmed my Jacks scent that I was just now noticing. He smelt of rum and sea mixed together, and something else that I couldn't quite place.
"Ol' Willy is gonna be fine luv, and he's gonna be popping his head around jus' wait and see." He said pausing a bit before he continued. "Tha second reason why yer in here, is so we can discuss what happened on that island."
I felt my cheeks heat up again when he said that. "The island?" I asked, trying to fake dumb. "Aye, the island, where the people thought you were me queen." He whispered leaning closer to me. I couldn't help but gulp a bit, it was the barest touch, hardly at all noticeable when he brushed his nose past my own.
"I thought we were suppose to be discussing the island." I said quietly, hoping that my voice didn't sounds so odd, as it did to me. I felt Jack's chuckle rumble against my chest, I didn't even know we were even touching until now. "Oh don' worry luv we will." That was the only thing Jack said before pressing his wind chapped lips against mine, and for me, that was all it took for all hell to break loose.
I didn't react right away, I was trying to figure out what the hell was actually going on. My mind was a buzz, my heart felt like it was going to crash out of my ribcage, and I literally forgot how to breathe. I felt my body slump a bit, before it betrayed me and started kissing Jack back timidly. It would be a lie to say that I didn't want this, but it would also be a lie to say that I knew what my feelings were cause I didn't. I knew that I was attracted to him, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't, but that also wasn't the main problem here. The main problem is that... I SHOULD NOT BE KISSING JACK! 'This is so unfair!' I whined mentally.
