Ch. 19

As I let Jack lead me to our room, I knew that once this night was over, the war will begin, and that no one will know how it will end. But for tonight, it will be just about Jack and I.

When I awoke the next, it was still dark out, I didn't open my eyes right way and just allowed myself to curl into the warmth that was beside me. I sighed in content, I never imagined last night being so... fulfilling, I suppose you could say. To me, it was amazing and I never felt so complete in my life. A strong arm was wrapped around my waist, pulling my closer to them, and a head buried itself into my hair lazily.

"G'mornin luv." A husky voice said thick with sleep. "G'mornin' Jack." I whispered back to him and tilted my head up gracing his lips with my own in a sweet kiss. Jack mumbled something against my lips but kissed me back fully, rolling us over so I was on my back and he was pinning me. I lightly broke the kiss and nuzzled my nose against his.

"Jack, come on, we have to get up, remember we're at war today..." I whispered to him and lightly started to kiss his neck lightly. I didn't want to get up either, but I knew we needed to. "Can't we jus' stay here and let everyone else fight?" he whined against my skin and lightly started to kiss it. I closed my eyes a bit and let out a quiet sigh. "No Jack, we can't, and as much as I like that idea myself, we have to show up." I said quietly and went to move away from him to get up.

Jack didn't like that and tightened his grip around my waist, pulling me closer to him. Skin met skin and I couldn't help but chuckle at Jack. I laid my head on his bare chest placing my left hand right next to it. I gazed at the ring on my finger with a smile. It was simple, just how I liked it. The band was gold, with no design on it, in the center of the ring laid a dark red gem, one that matched the pendant on my necklace perfectly.

When I first saw the ring I asked him how long he kept it. Jack just grinned at me saying that, that was his little secret, but that it was only for me so I shouldn't worry about anything else. We laid in bed for a little longer, before, I started to really get restless. We were about to go to war, we shouldn't be in bed like this, even though I enjoy it, and want to stay, I knew we couldn't, not right now.

"Come on Jack, we really need to go now." I said poking him a bit. He mumbled something that I couldn't understand and very slowly let go of me, giving up. I smiled and kissed him lightly before leaving the warmth that the bed provided. I sat up in the bed, letting the sheets fall of my bare body. I went over to one of the corners of the room to gather my clothes that were laying there. As I pulled my clothes on, I could hear Jack slowly moving away from the bed. I didn't turn around, I could hear what he was doing, and if I did turn around, it would only encourage Jack to prolong us to getting ready for war.

I tied the silver sash around my waist. I was wearing a long black silk pants and a blue long sleeved silk shirt that came down to my mid thighs with a slit up to waist. I pulled on a dark grey coat and left it undone. Before leaving the room, I made sure I had all of my effects on me before we left. I braided my hair and pinned it up with the same clip I wore the day before. I took my ring off my finger and slid it onto the chain with the pendant on it. I turned to Jack, seeing his curious look at what I was doing.

"I don't want to lose it." I said with a smile and walked towards the door. "Come on, let's get this war over and done with." I said with a smirk. "You just want to go back ta bed, doncha luv?" he smirked and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "I hardly had any rest last night thanks to someone, so sleep would be a dream." I stated with a roll of my eyes. We left the room and walked down to the port, where all the ships were getting ready for the big fight.

I went over to the Empress to check up on Tai Huang, who I made sure to leave in charge. I walked up to the deck and over to him. "How's e'erythin lookin?" I asked him curiously, I didn't want to see them ill prepared and shot down suddenly. Turning to me Tai Huang nodded. "Everything is taken care of, and to Miss Swann's ideals." He said then leaned closer to me. "Though I would have much preferred she wasn't so hostile and demanding." He whispered. I couldn't help but chuckle and place a hand on his shoulder. "That's how she is unfortunately. Tai Huang, help us lead everyone to a proud victory, you're in charge of the Empress now, don't disappoint me." I teased. "I'll be sailing with the Black Pearl again. Take care." I then turned around and left the Empress and headed over to the Pearl, and sighed in relief. I really did miss her after all, even if she is just a ship.

I stood next to Jack and Elizabeth, with every single pirate looking out into the foggy sea. Waiting. What were we waiting for exactly? The enemy. What no one expected was that a whole fleet of them coming to get us. Everyone turned to Jack and I, causing us to gulp a little. "Parley?" we asked weakly.

We, meaning Barbossa, Elizabeth, Jack and I, decided to meet our enemies half way, which lead us to a very small piece of land. When we reached it, the four of us started walking to where the opposition was. Barbossa, Elizabeth and Jack were all making facing at them, all I did was roll my eyes as we stopped five feet apart from one another. Will, Beckett, and Jones were standing in front of us, with Jones standing in a bucket full of sea water. Before anything really could be said, Elizabeth looked... no glared at Willy before she could say anything. I had spoken to Elizabeth before we left to not let her emotions take over her tongue.

Barbossa started the conversation, saying that Will was the one who lead them hear. Beckett, though, just smiled saying that no, it wasn't Will, but the person to our left did. I raised an eyebrow at Jack who put his hands up, saying that his hands were clean, except for the nails. I rolled my eyes at him and saw the look of disgust on Elizabeth's face. Will spoke up saying that he did it to his own accord, and that Jack had nothing to do with it. I shook my head a bit and decided to speak up.

"Will, I've been on the Dutchman... I can see why you did this now..." I said quietly and looked down at the sand. Before Will could say anything Beckett decided to open his annoying mouth again. Saying that Jack made a deal with him to deliver all the pirates, and that there they were. I shot Jack a look when Beckett through him, his compass. It was then that Jack and Jones started getting into a discussion about his debt. I could see that Elizabeth was planning something.

"I purpose an exchange. Will leaves with us. And you can take Jack." She said. Will agreed with it, Jack disagreed with it, Beckett agreed with it as well. Barbossa turned to Elizabeth "Jack's one of the nine pirate lords. You have no right." He said harshly. Elizabeth looked at him with defiance. "King!" she said. "No yer not Elizabeth. I am remember." I stated crossing my arms in front of my chest. Elizabeth just looked at me with a glare. "Then they can take you as well. And as you've said, that would make me King." She said smugly. I balled my hand into a fist ready to smack her but got held back by both Jack and Will, who had leapt from his spot. Davy Jones seemed to think this over for a bit. Two souls for the price of one, the one who owed him, and one who could be useful to the crew. "Done." He said.

Barbossa walked up to me and tore piece of eight away from my neck the cocked his gun, shooting Jack's off, causing him to let go of me. I shrugged Will off and turned to him, my eyes hard, before I looked out at the water around us. "I will bring you back Gabby." He whispered to me before he passed me to take his place next to Elizabeth. Jack came over to me and placed an arm around my shoulders. We walked over to Beckett and Jones, and were forced to stand in between them. Once Elizabeth threatened Beckett, she, my brother and Barbossa left the island. In the mean time, Jack and I were taken aboard the Dutchman and put into the brig. I was leaning against a pillar again, rubbing my temples, debating if I should kill Elizabeth next time I saw her or not. It was a very tempting thing to do.

I don't know when they appeared or why they did, but soon we were greeted by none other than Jack's duplicates, but this time they were life sized. I listened as they told Jack that he should stab the heart and become immortal. I had to roll my eyes at them, they were being naive. "You do know that once the heart is stabbed, you have to fulfill the duty of being the captain." I said. All four of them turned to me, giving me a look of 'what else is there to do then?'

I rolled my eyes and pushed myself off the pillar. "I already know that you're not going to sacrifice yourself just so you can sail the seas Jack." I said walking over to him. I placed my forefinger on his chest and lightly trailed my finger down, feeling his muscles twitch under my touch. I smirked to myself and pulled away from him. "You couldn't live without rum for ten years, or a woman in your bed." I then walked over to the pillar was leaning on before hand and looked out of the bars. Letting Jack think to himself. I looked out the port hole in and watched amazed at the sea. 'They must have freed her...' I thought, feeling a rush of wind sweep through the brig. "They're starting..." I whispered to myself.

I felt the Dutchman lurch while the maelstrom started getting worse outside. Jack, Jack, Jack and Jack, were all thinking about how we could get out of the brig. I've been studying the bars that kept us imprisoned and couldn't help but chuckle. "All we need is a little leverage" I mumbled looking at the bars carefully. Apparently Jack realized this as well since he grabbed one of the benches and hooked it between some of the bars and pushed down, just like how Willy and I helped him escape before. I came up beside him and nodded. "Nothing like a little leverage to help escape the brig." I chuckled as the bars fell down in front of us. We walked out, asking the other Jack's to wish us luck, before heading up deck.

I don't know how we made it up to Jones quarters where two guards were, pointing cannons at Jones' heart, then at us as they told us not to move or they would shoot. "You do know that it's pointless to say that while a war is going on right?" I said blandly walking with Jack to get our effects that were taken from us. The two ignored me though, much to my amusement and were thinking about what I said. Jack told them not to worry and that we were just coming to get our effects, then asked them why they were in here when there was a war going outside, their reason was 'who would guard the chest?' the one on our right, then began saying how there wasn't much discipline on the Dutchman, the one on our left blamed the fish men. It was then that they started to talk about it, not paying attention us that Jack and I looked at each other and took the chest, leaving the room without a sound.

"Well that was easier than I thought." I mused with a shrug. We paused at the door and looked out before we went onto the deck. We cautiously walked out a bit then we bumped into Davy Jones, who seemed to become rather amused that we escaped. "Well, lookie here boys. A bird and his keeper. A bird that hasn't learned how to fly and a keeper who doesn't know when to keep her pet locked up." Jones spat. Jack then took a step back over to the railing and grabbed a rope. He then smashed the side with the chest and that sent him flying up. I couldn't help but sigh loudly at Jack as he landed on the mast. Jones soon followed him and I was left surrounded by fish men. "Great... Just my luck..." I said bitterly and drew my sword. "I'm guessing you won't go easy on me cause I'm a girl right?" I asked, already knowing the answer. That answer was confirmed when sword nearly sliced through me if I wouldn't have dodged. "Guess not then." I mumbled.
