Chapter 2:
Time and Tide

Hours had passed and the tropical storm was still going strong over our heads. Elizabeth rubbed her eyes showing me that she had become tired. Well to be honest so was I. It had become night time and neither of us have had anything to eat, or anything to drink. Elizabeth smiled at me then asked "Jack do we have anything to…?" I then interrupted her by pointing at the storm "What luv? Eat? Drink? Well, there it is Miss. Swann help yeself".

She then disappointedly sighed and then whispered "For the millionth time, Jack. I'm sorry." She then continued to talk while swinging her hands around trying to make it easier for her to explain. I then grabbed her hands quickly while grunting my teeth. Elizabeth then stopped talking as I held her hands. I then said, "Listen, luv. There is absolutely no point or purpose for you to blind me in the process of your explanation".

Elizabeth then snapped back her hands and whispered, "I'm sorry". I then asked confused "Is that necessary?" Elizabeth then asked "Sorry?" I chuckled then replied "That, luv. That excessive need of yours to say sorry 30 times a minute." Elizabeth then chuckled and then said apologizing "I'm…." I looked at her in disbelief that she was going to say it again.

Elizabeth then continued, "I was brought up this way Jack". I then smiled then told her "Well I don't like it". Elizabeth chuckled and then moved closer to me while saying "To be completely and utterly honest neither do I. I mean before I was kidnapped by Barbossa my life was dull and ordinary. But now look at it! I am on a deserted island fighting for my life!"

I chuckled then whispered, "Welcome to pirate life, luv". I noticed we sat closer together now, trying to hide ourselves from the storm. I then said to her softly "I have a question for you Miss. Swann." Elizabeth then interrupted me by saying "Elizabeth. You can call me Elizabeth, Jack". I smiled then continued "Very well then Elizabeth. When all this is over, all the getting off the island business and rescuing that whelp William nonsense, where will you go?"

She looked at me confused so I continued, "You know, luv. Are you going home to Port Royal, or are you…." Elizabeth then finished my sentence for me "…go with you?" I puffed dramatically trying to convince her that that was not what I meant. Elizabeth then smiled obviously not believing my dramatic puff, and she then answered my question "I can't leave with you Jack". I then interrupted her by saying "I didn't mean that, luv. I just think that its an awful waste. You would have made a good pirate". Elizabeth then grinned happily while asking, "You really think so Jack?" I nodded but then said confidently "But not as good as me of course".

Elizabeth shrugged while saying "Yes, of course. No one could be that bad". She then laughed and I glared at her upset. She then hit me lightly while saying "Oh come on Jack. It was just a joke". I nodded then smiled a bit, and then I sighed looking at the storm. A few seconds later she stopped laughing and admitted "If only my life was different. (Pause) Norrington fancies me and I have to marry him when I get back".

I then told her confused "Have to luv? You don't have to do anything you don't want to." Elizabeth the smiled at me, and I smiled back. She then yawned and put her head on my shoulder using it as a pillow. She then continued, "I wish my life was like that. My life has certain standards that I must obey".

I then lay down on the sand while asking, "Like marrying a certain breed? I pity you Elizabeth. I have no rules, luv. Just guidelines that I have been known not to follow". Elizabeth smiled and then laid down beside me while putting her head onto my chest. She then said to me "It must be wonderful to live like that. I just wish I could do that, leave my home in Port Royal to be free. But my father would have a fit, and he would also be utterly humiliated".

I then said "Time and tide, luv. Your father would get over it". Elizabeth then scoffed and got up because she suddenly realized that she was lying down on top of me. I then asked her confused "What's the rush? We aren't going anywhere luv, unless you call death somewhere".

Elizabeth then shouted, "We are not going to die. Once the storm is over the navy will find us." I then said "Aye, Aye. What a joy that will be; once they find me they'll arrest me, and once they do that they'll hang me, savvy?" Elizabeth then said sarcastically "That's great Captain. Keep up that positive attitude."

I then nodded and said "Alright, darlin'. I desist, but I must ask you even under the circumstances, though this has nothing to do with the mere subject. What is the point of you going home? Is it to become the wife of James Norrington? Or is it to have the children of a Commodore? Which coincidently they both so happen to be the same thing".

Elizabeth then looked at me confused and responded, "Whatever decision I make about my life in Port Royal I am going to be miserable. But what can I do?" I smiled then put my arm around her and tell her, "I already told you luv". Elizabeth then smiled at me while saying "I wish I could be free, sing, dance wherever I want to, that sort of thing. (Pause) In fact…." She then grabbed my hands and pulled me up while I asked confused "What you doing?"

She then put her arms around me and said "I'm asking you for a dance." I then chuckled and said as I waved my hands in the air "No, nope. Not a chance." Elizabeth then laughed and said, "Oh what is it? (Pause) Oh Captain Jack Sparrow can't dance." My eyes widened so I said "Little Missy, I can, I just don't feel the need to at this moment".

Elizabeth then smiled and held my hand while saying "Oh come on Jack." I then sighed and whispered "Fine. One dance, besides we've got the time". Elizabeth then wrapped her arms around me, and I held her hand close to me. We then began to move our feet back fourth on the sand.

Elizabeth's feet followed mine, and I moved closer to her as she whispered, "Jack, I didn't know you could dance". I smiled then whispered back "It's not a talent that I am proud of. I'd much rather be better with a gun". Elizabeth then chuckled and said, "I never ever imagined myself dancing with a pirate". I smiled and then held her together to me while responding "Its not something that happens often luv. Consider yourself lucky".

Elizabeth smiled back at me, and I looked around us at the storm. I then whispered, "The storm is calming down a bit". Elizabeth then nodded a bit disappointed, and then I realized that we both had stopped dancing. I then looked into her eyes "Why have we stopped?" Elizabeth gazed at my lips while replying, "Oh have we? I hadn't noticed".

I then focused my eyes on her lips while both our heads moved closer towards the other. Just then I moved my right foot closer to her, but I accidentally hit an abnormally large shell and slipped and fell down right onto the sand. Elizabeth then dropped to her knees shocked and asked, "Jack are you alright?" I then nodded while picking up the shell "Bloody shell".

I then threw it into the storm. Elizabeth then sat down beside me and asked "How much longer?" I then chuckled and then asked seductively "Until I put my arm around you, or until I start to please you. Which is the exact same time, luv. (Pause) Seems like you've given my no choice". I then put my around her and Elizabeth then said, "The second option had better be a joke". I smiled and said disappointed "It is now. But in the future if you wish for me to please you I have a no clothes policy".

I watched Elizabeth's eyes roll and then she said, "I want to go to sleep". I smiled and said, "Who's stopping you?" Elizabeth then put her head down on the sand, but I could sense that she did not feel comfortable. So I said "If you want something to lay on deary, there's always me". Elizabeth shook her head so I looked around and said "Oh, put clothing underneath your head. Take off your dress, luv".

Elizabeth glared at me angrily so I said quite disappointed "Lizzie, I must admit that for a wench with manners you sure are picky". I then took off my shirt and threw it over to her; she smiled while putting my shirt under her head. She then said to me "Thank you Jack Sparrow". I then said "Captain. Captain Jack Sparrow, luv." I watched her close her eyes trying to fall asleep, and a second later she smiled and whispered "Yes, Captain Jack Sparrow", and then she fell asleep.
