Chapter 6: Not Such A Bad Ending After All.

Hours had passed since the party started and the guests had already left.
The only ones left in the mansion were the busy servants who were trying to clean up everything and the Baroness Lucile that felt the need to retire early to her bedchamber due to be very tired.
She knew how to be discreet and noone noticed the young man entering the chamber with her. After all, it was not the first time she had seduced a man since her husband died years ago.
She might not be so young anymore but she still was a woman and needed some male companion from time to time, even if she had to pay for it.
And somewhere else, on a balcony, were still Elizabeth and Jack admiring the stars and resting from their passionate lovemaking.
They had done it a few more times before they both were satisfied and now laying on the stone floor of the balcony, the sun had shone all day and warmed it.
Jack was still a bit drunk and singing quietly the song the smiling beauty next to him had taught him on a deserted island. He still loved it like the first time he heard it.
Elizabeth was curled up next to him, half of her body resting on his. She thought it was funny that he still sang that song everytime he got really drunk.
"You still like that song?"
"'Course! I'm a pirate after all!"
He continued singing while she admired the stars. They shone so beautiful tonight, like they were diamonds adorning the dark blue sky.
"Jack? What was it that you wanted to steal so bad?"
"Jewels."
She rolled her eyes at that obvious statement. He still was drunk...
"Thanks, you genious, I already knew that... I mean what jewel it is that you are so keen on?"
He looked at her with a serious face.
"... It's supposed to be a surprise... so don' go and tell 'Lizabeth..."
"... Alright... i won't tell her."
He eyed her with suspicion.
"You promise?"
'This is ridiculous! How drunk can he still be?'
"I promise. Now tell me, what is it?"
"Well, ye know I lurve rings, aye? Someone tol' me dear Lucy had some pretty shiny ones with great value. Specially one with a rd stone. Red is me favourite colour! Ye knew that? What nice coincidence, aye? Tha's why I use a red bandana all the time!" he suddenly got a sad look "Poor Bandi...had to stay at home today... all alone... in that dark cabin..." his eyes were almost teary now. Elizabeth didn't know if she should laugh or get jealous of... How did he call it? 'Bandi'? She chose the first option and giggled.
He suddenly snapped out of his sadness and continued. "Whatever! She'll jus' have to wait fer me! Case is that inside said red stone-" he gestured with his hands "-is a lil' drawrin' of a rose! And the rest is made out of pure gold!" Hi eyes were wide open as he looked onto his fingers as if he could see the ring right there. "Tha's quite unique! Ye know? 'Never saw somethin' like that! ...There was something else I wanted but I'm too exhausted to sneak in again..."
Elizabeth had a knowing look on her face and reached for something in a pocket of her dress.
"You don't mean by any chance this beautiful ring here, right?"
She showed him the ring with a triumphant smile on her face and his sleepy eyes flew open when he saw it.
It really was the ring he described! He tried to grab it but she quickly drew her hand back.
"No, no, no..."
"Where did you get it?!"
"This?" she played with it to tease Jack trying it on on different fingers, his eyes never leaving the ring. "It's very easy. You just need to distract your victim a bit and use that opportune moment to steal whatever it is you want right infront of their nose. Just when she less expected it."
"...? You... you stole it when you met her?!"
She nodded. And a big grin formed on Jack's face.
"That's My Lizzie! Good pupil! You had the best teacher, which would be me, after all. Now give it to me!"
He tried to grab it again but failed like last time.
"What are you doin'?"
"This is mine. I stole it."
He couldn't belive it.
"But me wants it!" he pouted.
"You really want it?"
"Yes! Yes!!" he nodded.
"Then I guess we'll have to negociate."
"Alright! Whatever! What are the terms? Just give it to me!"
"I'll give it to you if we leave right after giving it to you-"
"Alright! Then let's plunder the house right now! The sooner we finish, the sooner I get me ring!"
He quickly grabbed his clothes and started getting dressed.
"-AND you won't steal anything else from this house but this."
"What?!"
"If you take anything else, there's no deal! Do we have an agreement?"
"But there are so many pretty things in this house!" he daid pleading but she just ignored it.
"Deal or not?"
Jack doubted a second before acepting but finally did.
"Deal..." 'I'll just steal something on the way out. Jejeje.'
"I warn you! No tricks! Or there will be no Lizzie in your bed for a VERY LONG time!"
"Alright!" he frowned and shook her hand to seal the deal.
She gave him the ring and they started getting dressed. Jack couldn't take his eyes from his new ring. It was perfect for his colletion! A bit femenine maybe but still perfect for him.
She noticed his happy looks towards the ring. She knew he would like it that's why she stole it in first place.
"You know, Jack. One thay you'll even let yourself get hanged just for a ring!"
"You got something against me ring tefish?"
"Fetish! It's called fetish, Jack... I can't belive you're still so drunk..."
"Blah! You're just jealous that I have so many and you only have a few!"
"It's not that at all! I'm just fed up with these little 'missions', as you call them. We get ourselves in danger just to satisfy your stupid ring-fetish!"
Jack looked hurt and confused at first, as if he couldn't understand a thing she just said bud then smiled wickedly.
"But you liked the ending of this 'mission' very much." She blushed heavy. "Didn't hear you complaining about the last one either..."
He started crawling slowly and half dressed to where she was desperatly trying to use a string of one of her boots to close her dress.
"I think you enjoy these missions pretty much..."
He grabbed her waist from behind to bring her close enough to savour her neck.
"Ah! Jack! Didn't you say you were exhausted just a moment ago?" She laughed as his moustache tickled her.
"yes. But I always have extra energy for this. You never know when it could be the last time you can do it..."
He let his hands roam down to her breasts and started massaging them just the way he knew she liked never ceasing his attack on her neck.
"Ahh... Jack... We should go now..."
"There's no need to hurry, love..."
One of his hands continued travelling downwards to her center.
"But- Ah! ...mnhh... We've been here for... too long..."
"Who cares then if we stay a little bit longer?"
"...ahh..."
She tried to find the right words in her head to make him stop but who would really want him to stop when he was doing that thing with his fingers.
She stopped fighting it and let him guide her back to the floor to repeat what they had been doing for the last couple of hours.
- - - - - - - - - - - -

Meanwhile in Lucile's room, finally reigned silence. Will had to satify her hunger for him time after time.
'Didn't she just turn 67? How much energy could an old lady have?'
He was totally exhausted. He tried to get out of her bed a few times before but she always woke up, as soon as she felt him shift next to her, to get more of his attentions.
He had lost count after the 7th time and, belive it or not, they did it quite a few more times.
Now he was too afraid to even move an inch. He was too tired, if he had to do it again he would die from exhaustion!
But he had to get out of there! What would he do if she rested too much and then wanted a whole round more of him?!
This time he would get out of there without her noticing it!
He removed the blanket very slowly from his body and calculated the distance to his breeches. He would worry later to find the rest of his clothes.
As soon as he located them, he started moving as slowly as possible so she wouldn't notice.
"Hmm..."
He froze when he heard her voice. 'Shit! Please don't wake up! Please!'
He was too fraid to look back and find her looking at him, but after a few seconds of nothing happening he managed to climb out of the bed. He rushed quietly to his breeches and put them on.
'Boots! I need my boots!' he looked around 'There!'
He quickly put them on too watching Lucile's room carefully.
It was as fancy as the rest of the mansion. She had a good taste, that he had to admit.
'That's why she chose me and not Jack! Ha!' he smiled a moment.
His sight fixed on something shiny laying on a desk.
'What's that?'
He moved quietly to the desk and saw a few beautiful necklaces including his own.
'These must be the jewels Jack was talking about...'
He opened one of the drawers just to find more rings and earings. He opened another one and saw more jewels.
'How ironic. The whelp found all what the pirate was looking for. If I take these with me, he will have to stop calling me those humiliating words and accept that I'm a true pirate too.' He thought smiling to himself.
He quickly made a decision and grabbed his shirt that was lying on the floor and made a knot in the bigger opening to use it as a bag and filled it with all the jewels.
When he finished, he put on his coat and tied the arms of the shirt together and threw the havy bag over his shoulder.
He moved to the door and looked back one last time to see her sleeping face.
She looked so happy and satisfied.
'It had not been that bad after all... I even enjoyed it. Specially that thing she did with her mouth... And what about when she caressed me in there?'
He shuddered when he thought about the pleasure it brought him. He never felt something so intense before.
'The lady is very experienced, that I have to admit...'
He put down the bag again and took out his necklace. He fingered it for a moment while he looked thoughtfull towards where Lucile was sleeping. He walked to the bed and placed his hat and the necklace on his pillow.
'Let her have something to remember this night.'
He walked back to the door and grabbed the bag again and opened the door.
"Goodbye, Lucile. maybe we'll meet again."
And he left.
- - - - - - - - - -

It was already dawning and Elizabeth and Jack were laughing as they walked down the dock to where the Pearl was. Jack was telling one of his funny adventures. The one when he ended up being chased by a reindeer and the only way to get out of it save and sound was climbing up a tree and wait until the animal got tired and left.
Gibbs heard them and hurried to greet them. Great was his surprise when he only saw the couple and now Will in sight.
"Cap'n! Where's the boy? And what about the jewels?"
They looked both at each other.
"I told you we were forgetting about something!"
"Don't worry, love. He'll know how to get here. He's not a child after all. Sorry Mr. Gibbs, there was a little problem with the jewels and we couldn't get them."
The elder man froned unhappy.
"Cap'n, we should leave as soon as possible. A black ship is not easy to hide when bright daylight."
"I know Master Gibbs. Make everything ready. If he doesn't appear after an hour we'll leave."
He saw Elizabeth looking worried at him.
"Don't worry, love. We'll wait for him. But it's too dangerous to wait here. He'll understand and find a boat to get to us."
"I hope nothing bad happened to him..."
He comforted her with an embrace.
"No need ta wait, Miss! There he comes!" Gibbs said "And he brings a bag too!"
"What?!" Jack rushed to the rail. He smiled when he saw Will's bag and something shiny inside it. "Ha! The whelp did it!"
Everyone greeted Will as he boarded the Ship.
"You got all the jewels, Will?" She smiled proud at him.
"Sorry, Elizabeth. I had to take them with me. But, belive me, I deserve them."
"I never thought you had it in you, Will! I'm proud of you, lad!" Jack gave him a friendly tap on his shoulders.
"Wait a moment before you start plundering my bag, boys. I need to have a word with the Captain."
"With me? Why?"
"Elizabeth. Could you please guard the bag while I talk to Jack?"
"Alright."
"Let's go to my cabin then, aye?"
And both men dissapeared into Jack's cabin.
"What is so important you have to tell me in private?"
"You said there were some very special jewels you wanted, right?"
"I already got the ring I wanted. See? Pretty, huh?"
"You don't by any chance wanted these too?"
He showed him a necklace with a swann pendant and a matching ring.
Jack got serious.
"I guess you wanted them for Elizabeth."
Will was right. Jack wanted give them to her as a present.
"I guess you're right! What are your terms? I guess you want something in return."
Jack smiled at him, for once he had everything planned before acting. He was finally learning how to be a pirate. He liked that.
"What makes you so sure I'll trade it and not give it to her myself?"
Jack got all serious again. Maybe he didn't like the new Pirate-Will after all.
"Don't worry, I won't do it."
"You nearly got me this time!" He smiled again.
"I'll give them to you if I am the one who makes the share. I'll get the part that corresponds to the captain-"
"Fair. You got them after all."
"-and you won't get no part."
"Hey! That's not fair!"
"We wouldn't have anything if it wasn't for me. And it was your fault I had to spend the night with Lucile."
"You had to sleep with her? ...That sounds fair... Anything else?"
"You'll have to admit infront of the crew that I'm a true pirate."
"Deal! I kind of already said the pirate part but I don't mind repeating it. You deserve it. Did a good job, did you."
Jack tapped his shoulder once more.
"Thanks, Jack."
Will embraced the Captain. As a thank you for his words. It was one of the few times Jack praised him.
"Hey! Hey! Don't get too excited!" Will let go of him. "Now give me the necklace and the ring before I change me mind."
Both men walked out of the cabin.
"Listen carefully, lads. Dear William here will be the one making the shares this time! It's thanks to him that we got the jewels after all. And yes. I admit that he did a good job so I declare him officially a pirate! So I've said it! Done!"
The whole crew went to Will to get their share.
Except Elizabeth and Jack.
"You don't want anything, love?"
"There are some beautifull things in that bag but I don't really want any. And you? Don't you want to go and see if the other thing you wanted is amongst those jewels?"
"He already got them. It's my only share and they are for you. So you better accept them."
"For me?"
"Yes. Close your eyes."
She did as he said and waited for him to tell her when she could open them again.
"Done! Open them."
She looked down to her hand and saw the beautiful swann ring and then looked at the matching pendant.
"I think they are more fit for you than for the Baroness. You like them?"
"The ring is a bit too big but I love them! Thank you, Jack!"
She gave him a guick kiss on the lips.
"We can fix the ring next time we make port. How about we fix now your black hair and get back your golden waves?"
She nodded an added "And we should go to our cabin to get your lovely 'Bandi', I miss her. And..." she continued seductively "Since we already go to the cabin, we could use the opportunity that the crew is distracted to do some more of what we did on the balcony."
His eyes widened
"What are we waiting for? Run!"
And both dissapeard into the cabin, locking the door behind them.
- - - - - - - -

"Will...? William?"
Said a sleepy voice in the Baroness' Mansion. It was almost midday and Lucile was still in bed.
She found herself alone in her chamber with nothing else that Will's hat and necklace beside her.
All her jewels were gone. But instead of getting angry she just smiled.
"I would have given you so much more than just a few jewels!"
She looked out of her window and saw a black ship sail into the horizon.
"I hope we'll meet again, Will Turner."
