Chapter 6:
Freedom and Tragedy
"I…" She repeated quite a few times out loud. She then looked around the passage quickly and noticed that there were rum bottles there. So she then said "I…. I came looking for more rum for you". I took a step closer to her and then asked unsure "Are you certain?" I then looked down at the compass in my hands, and then Elizabeth then shouted at me catching my attention "Yes, of course. Have I ever lied to you Captain Sparrow?"
My bottom lip curled into a smirk and then I said to her "Maybe you haven't but that doesn't mean that you can't start luv." Elizabeth then smiled at me and bent down and picked up a bottle of rum and gave it to me and said "For you Jack". I then took the bottle from her unscrewed the top and then said to her "One can never have enough rum can they luv?" Elizabeth smiled at my remark and then I said "Cheers" before taking a drink.
After I finished taking another sip of rum I watched Elizabeth sit down in the middle of the passage. I then sat down beside her and asked "I happen to have a background in the sentimental thoughts of the woman creature. So I, luv, can sense that your having some sentimental thoughts?" Elizabeth sighed and then whispered, "It's just about James. I don't want to be married yet, to him anyway".
I then cleared my throat and asked "Then who do you want to be marryin' then?" Elizabeth then looked at me with a surprised look on her face, she then responded quite quickly "No one." I then squinted my eyes and asked "Your not an eunuch are you?" Elizabeth then giggled and then said "Its not that Jack! It's just that James, he is a good and proper man, but I don't want a good and proper man".
My eyes then widened and then I asked "Rum?" She then took the bottle from my hands and took a sip and then I said seductively "You know Lizzie… I myself being a pirate am not known for those characteristics that you just mentioned". Elizabeth then looked at me and said "What are you suggesting Captain Sparrow?"
I then grinned at her and moved closer to her and said "I think you know very well what I am suggesting, luv. Its that your afraid." Elizabeth then asked confused "Afraid?" I then put my arm around her and looked at her start into her eyes. She then asked, "Jack what am I afraid of?" I then grinned at her while responding "Freedom. Does seem inviting doesn't it? But is it what you really…. (I then touch my compass and then continued) desire?" Elizabeth's eyes then widened as she saw my hand touching my compass, she then stood up, and I smiled and got up as well.
I then took a step closer to her and she moved back one. I then chuckled then asked, "Where did you find my compass luv?" Elizabeth then said "On the stairs". I nodded and thought about her excuse, and it was possible. I then shrugged and then said "Well, luv. Is freedom what you desire?"
I watched her expression change to one of uncertainty and then I smiled and said "Good". I then grabbed her hand and pulled her down the hallway of the passageway. Elizabeth then asked, "Where are we going?" I continued walking and whispered "Freedom". When we arrived on deck I then said to Elizabeth "Close your eyes, luv".
Elizabeth then asked "Why Jack?" I then sighed frustrated and asked "Do you trust me or not Lizzie?" Elizabeth then retorted mockingly "Do I have to answer that question Jack?" She then laughed and I said "Elizabeth, you want freedom don't you? (Pause) Good. Close your eyes". Elizabeth did what she was told finally, and then I took her hand and guided her towards the side of the ship.
I then stood behind her while saying, "Put your hands in front of you onto the side of the ship". She did what she was told, and I could see that she felt more secure now. I then grabbed her from behind and then whispered into her ear "Good, luv. Now no peaking!" I then looked at Elizabeth's face and saw that she was smiling. I then whispered again into her ear "Be one with the ship luv. Remember a ship represents freedom, and that's what you want".
Elizabeth then said "Jack..." I smiled and then I began to caress the back of her neck while whispering into her ear "Now feel the waves hit you gently". I then realized that Elizabeth then started to become tense. So I whispered into her neck "Relax, luv". She then released her shoulders and then I grinned at her and then whispered into her neck once more "Taste the waters lips". I watched Elizabeth then unwillingly let out a sigh. I then twirled her around and stayed inches away from her lips "How do you feel luv?"
Elizabeth opened her eyes and then whispered back at me "Speechless". I then moved to about one inch away from her lips and then I said, "Speech is not the only thing lips can produce, luv". I then moved my head down and say "They can also please". I then start to kiss her neck. Elizabeth then unwillingly let out a soft moan, and then she began to close her eyes. I then began to kiss my way up to her ear, and started to gently suck on her earlobe. Elizabeth then grabbed my hand, and then I looked at her and she then pushed me away and said, "I'm sorry, Jack. I can't do this". I watched her walk away from me. I was shocked, confused, but mostly disappointed.

The next day, I slept in until noon. And I walked around the bottom level of the ship and noticed that one door said "Dining Hall". I rubbed my stomach and then opened the door and then squinted my eyes at what I saw. I saw Elizabeth, her father and Norrington having lunch. I then noticed a chair in the corner and pulled it up to the table and then said "Mornin' aristocrats. What's for lunch?"
All three of them then stopped eating. I then asked confused "What is it mates?" Norrington then looked at the Governor then said, "I'm sorry pirate but I don't think you were invited". I then scoff at his remark and began to start pouring a glass of coconut juice into a glass. The Governor then took the glass away from me forcing the juice to spill all over my hands. I then asked "Why did you do that Governor?"
The Governor then sighed and said "Pirate, I guess you just didn't understand. (Pause) You are not welcome here". My eyes then widened and then took my shirt and whiped away the juice on my hands. I then looked at Elizabeth who hadn't said a word yet, and so I then asked her "Lizzie, can you believe this?" Elizabeth then looked down at her plate and then took a bite out of her bread sadly.
I then scoffed and then took bread and bite into it and said, "I had expected more from you deary". I then left the dining hall and slammed the door. I then looked at the door for a few seconds sighing. I closed my eyes and then replayed that scene once again in my head. I then took out my compass and it pointed towards the dining hall, I then whispered "What I want most, and what I can't have".

That evening I sat outside the door of my cabin hoping to see Elizabeth pass by me. A moment later she did, and I glared at her and then she walked to me and sat down beside me and said, "I'm sorry Jack. I can't talk long, Norrington said he has something to discuss with me tonight". I then sighed and said "Then why bother even talking to me at all luv?" She then grabbed my hands and said, "Jack, I'm sorry about this morning". I then smile at her and say "You've been apologizing a lot lately".
She nodded and then said "Jack you have got to understand how I feel". I then smile and ask "Aye, aye. And how do you feel?" Elizabeth eyes then widened and she then answered, "I can't explain Jack". I then asked her confused "Then how am I supposed to understand how you feel, if you don't even know?"
In the meantime we both hadn't noticed that James had come down the stairs and was spying on us. But back to Elizabeth and I. Elizabeth then whispers "Jack…" She then turns to walk away and I quickly grab her and pull her in to kiss me. We then kissed and I caressed her back and she did the same. A few seconds later I pushed her away from me and then opened the door to my cabin and went inside of it. Elizabeth was left out in the hall once again speechless.

That night while I was sleeping. James opened the door to my cabin and quietly began walking towards my bed where I was obviously sleeping. He breathed in out in panic as he held a sword between his hands. He made his was to my bed and then put the sword up high in the air and then whispered, "It's a shame pirate". He then swung the sword down towards my chest...
