Chapter Six: It Was Will
Elizabeth lied on Jack's bed wrapped in blankets. She was still asleep and Jack was sitting right next to her in a chair, watching over her. As soon as he had gotten back to the hut, Jack had bandaged Elizabeth's wounds and changed her clothes. Luckily the cuts on her hadn't been too deep and the bleeding had stopped quickly enough.
Elizabeth moaned in her sleep and began turning. Jack look over and saw a look a terror upon her face. He held her hand tightly, not knowing what else to do when Elizabeth started yelling.
"No! No please don't!! Please! No…no…don't. NO!!!!!" she shot up in bed screaming
"Elizabeth… Elizabeth!... ELIZABETH!"
Elizabeth turned and stared at Jack.
"Oh god, Jack. He lied…doesn't love me…don't let him get me…please don't…" her words became incoherent as she leaned into Jack sobbing. He pulled her close and whispered calming words into her ear.
Jack made a vow to himself that he would kill the bastard that tried to hurt her. No one touched Elizabeth with out her consent, no one. Not even Jack would try that. He may be a pirate, but he respected women and they're dignity. Elizabeth quickly fell into a pitiful sleep full of nightmares about him, and Jack stayed by her side, looking out of the hut at the mountain. He had a suspicion that who ever had done this, was there.
He would have her, he would. Jack would not take her from him.
Will paced around the cave, wondering if he should kill Jack and then take Elizabeth, or take Elizabeth and then kill Jack. Both would give him great pleasure, but he needed to decide which would give him greater pleasure. He started thinking about how much he loved Elizabeth, and how if she had only truly loved him back this wouldn't be happening. He knew that she had kissed Jack and he knew that she had enjoyed it infinitely more than his kisses. He knew she loved Jack, even if she didn't and he knew that Jack loved her deeply.
But Jack couldn't have her. No. Jack would not take away the last thing he had. He had already taken Will's father, he had taken Will's job when he made Will go on The Pearl to save Elizabeth, thus making him an outlaw, and now he was trying to take Elizabeth from him. But he would get her. And Will would make sure of that by running Jack through with his sword.
On the other side of the island, Elizabeth was waking up. Jack looked at her, waiting for her to start talking. He didn't want to rush her, so he just waited.
"Jack…." She sniffled
"Yes?...Who did this Lizzie?" Elizabeth could hear the concern behind his voice…but there was something else. Fear….fear for her?
Elizabeth snuffled some more and whispered so quietly that Jack had to lip read….
"It was Will."
