Fearless

I sat on the railing, after talking to Will I had come here, it was my night shift. The sun had set about an hour ago; I leaned against a pole that was next to the railing. I shut my eyes and lapsed into a light sleep, being lulled by the sound around me. The distant laughter of the crew who were on the other side of the ship, the rocking of the ship, seagull's calls, and other sea noises. I heard soft footsteps but I paid them no heed, they stopped somewhere near me. I then felt my necklace being lifted off my neck. I grabbed the chain and opened my eyes to see Elizabeth. I raised an eyebrow as she backed away.

"What were you doing?" I asked as I looked at her suspiciously, she smiled sheepishly.

"I wanted to know if you were a good protector of the key, and you are." She sat down on the railing and looked over at me, at my confused look she said.

"Honestly, that's the only reason I did it." I finally nodded still not trusting her.

"What are you doing over here anyway?" I asked as I looked out at the ocean, the Pearl was on the other side of the ship. She shrugged and replied.

"Nothing much going on the Pearl, just Jack being Jack." I nodded in understanding.

"Believe me I know, I have to put up with him forever." I said as she laughed.

"Yes he told me of you're quest and how you spilled the pot holding immortality but took some yourself and saved some for Jack, why did you save some for him?" I shrugged, I had never really thought about.

"I don't know, he's a friend and he really wanted it, I felt bad because I had it so I saved some for him."

"I think that is very sweet." I quirked an eyebrow.

"Sweet? I don't do sweet." I said smirking, Elizabeth snorted.

"Please Jack told me of the way you treated that girl Odette, you are sweet."

"Occasionally."

"I think you have a good heart, you just use your fierceness for when you fight, to scare off the enemy." I just looked at her odd but finally nodded.

"So do you like being alive again?" I asked it was odd I was having a nice conversation with my husband's wife, I am so messed up.

"It's strange being alive; it took me awhile to get use to my body." I nodded in understanding.

"Sometimes I miss it." She said and I looked at her confused.

"Miss what?" I asked curiously.

"Heaven." She said smiling.

"At least you got there."

"Ah you went to hell."

"What can I say, pirate." She laughed as I gave a small chuckle.

"This is odd." I said after several moments of silence.

"What is?"

"This." I said moving my arms to represent us.

"I mean we are acting civil and we're both married to the same man." She laughed.

"Emily are you intimated by me?" I shook my head no.

"Me? I am not scared of…oh never mind." I said as she laughed.

"Emily you don't have to worry about Will and I. I love him but I respect that he is married to you."

"Well technically you are still married to him." She rolled her eyes.

"I look at it in this way, who has a ring on and who doesn't?" I looked down at her ring finger and saw no ring I looked down at mine to see my wedding band shinning in the moon's light.

"I hope we can be friends." Elizabeth said and I looked up at her and nodded.

"I think someday we will be." We both smiled and shook each other's hands.

"Well I better get back, I'll see you tomorrow." I nodded and she walked off. I sighed well that went well; Elizabeth and I might get along one of these days. That only left Will, why am I always so insecure, I mean he loves me and here I am acting all cold and distant and all you don't love me thing. I really hate myself sometimes. Making up my mind I got off of the rail and walked back to my cabin, someone can take my shift. As I passed a group of the crew laughing, I walked over and said.

"Lenny take over my shift." And I walked off before he could protest. I walked back to my cabin and I opened the doors and walked in to find Will sleeping in our bed. I smiled slightly as I walked over to his dresser and grabbed one of his shirts; it had become my new night outfit. I changed quietly and I pet Star who was lying on a chair. I pulled my hair out of its ponytail and let it hand loose. I quietly got under the covers my back was to Will as I quietly whispered.

"I'm sorry." Nothing happened just like I had expected. I put my head deeper into my pillow went I felt a pair of strong arms go around my waist pulling me closer to Will. I snuggled into him as he kissed my ear and whispered back.

"I know." I turned around so that I could look up at him. He moved some of my hair out of my eyes.

"I am truly sorry, what I said was wrong." He shook his head no.

"No it wasn't, I just want you to know that I won't go back to Elizabeth. She has a piece of my heart, but so do you." I nodded as I stroked his scar, as his arms still rested around my waist. I yawned as Will quietly chuckled.

"Go to sleep my love." He said as he kissed the top of my head. I nodded weakly as I snuggled deeper into Will who held me tightly. Soon sleep claimed me.

I woke up hours later to hear seagulls outside one of the windows that was opened. I quietly groaned before sitting up, Will feeling my movements pulled me back down as I laughed.

"You are not leaving." He said with his eyes still shut.

"I don't want to, but we have to, we will be reaching Singapore soon." I said regretfully.

"Not until tonight or tomorrow morning." He said as he opened one of his eyes lazily. I smiled up at him glad that we were no longer fighting. I took one of his hands and held it as I rubbed small circles on it. Will watched with mild amusement.

"You are a strange woman Emily Turner." He said kissing my cheek.

"But you love me."

"Yes I do, I wouldn't have you any other way."

"And I wouldn't have you any other way my captain." I said before giving him a light kiss on the mouth. I pulled away and sat up again.

"We should get up before your father comes again and forces us up."

"It seems odd that he is telling me what to do, I mean I am the captain."

"No respect I tell you." I said as I got out of bed and Will followed suit. We soon were dresses. Will in a red shirt with black pants and a blue bandanna. I was in navy blue pants with a white shirt and a blue vest. I put my hair up in a messy bun, as I was putting my belt on with my sword Will came up behind me and out his arms around my waist. He started kissing my neck as I leaned into him. I quietly moaned before pulling away from his grasp.

"We have to get up on deck Will so stop distracting me." I said playfully as he looked around innocently.

"Me? My I do not know what you speak of." It could have been believable if he hadn't started smiling. I grabbed his hand as we walked out of our room and up to the deck. We set about working. Right after my morning duties were up I snuck over to the Pearl.

"Hello Cotton, Cotton's parrot." I said as I walked past him. I looked around and I saw Annamaria talking to Jack. I walked over and heard that they were fighting…again. I sighed it was like a daily ritual for them to fight over nothing, they were almost as bad as Pintel and Ragetti.

"I think this whole adventure is crazy." She said as I leaned against the railing watching in amusement.

"Well I don't love, and if you don't like it find another ship." She huffed and said in a deadly voice.

"Maybe I will, and next time I see you I will blow this ship to little bits and make you suffer." I raised my eyebrows at her violent nature. Even Jack looked a little scared.

"I was just kidding darling, of course I love having you around, you're my sane person here." I swear Annamaria blushed, I swear she did.

"So tell me what I can do to make it up to you." She stepped closer to him and whispered something in his ear as he smirked and walked off. She spotted me and walked over.

"What was that about?" I asked pointing to Jack; she only shrugged and said innocently.

"What?" I smiled finally getting what was going on.

"Someone loves the captain of the Pearl." I said teasingly as she glared at me. She looked around quickly to make sure no one had heard what I had said.

"I do not love him, I can barley stand him let alone love."

"Didn't look like it to me, the fighting, the looks, the whisper. There is defiantly something there." I said dramatically.

"Let's move on to another subject, how are you and Will."

"We made up." I said smiling.

"I do not want the details." I laughed. We talked a little while longer before I had to head back to the Dutchman, the day went by slowly. Will and I went over to the Pearl once or twice to talk about how we are suppose to find the next piece of the map. I had stayed in the library and read for most of the afternoon reading several books. I had just finished reading Romeo and Juliet and I walked back up to the deck. I saw Will at the front of the ship leaning against the railing. I came up to him and gave him a kiss on the cheek as he turned to me and smiled.

"Hello." He said as he hugged me to him.

"Are we close to Singapore?" I asked looking at the ocean, the sun was setting quickly. And soon it was completely under the ocean, the sky was violet and pink and orange and yellow.

"We should be." Suddenly man started yelling and we looked at each other. Will released me and walked to the other side of the ship. I followed and I saw the Pearl going ahead of us slightly. I got a good view of a town, I had never been there but I had heard enough to know that this was Singapore.

(Please R and R! I do not own Pirates.)
