Chapter 10:
Assumptions

Elizabeth quickly glanced down and then whispered, "This is important Jack". I stopped dead in my tracks and then replied back "Things don't always go our way luv. We can discuss yer-said matter later on…." I then whisper under my breath "Perhaps when I am being hung". I then walk towards the pile where the treasure was kept and began to look through it to find the pieces of the most value. But I had found nothing, nothing seemed valuable to me anymore, I had lost my Pearl, my life and my treasure.

I turned around for a few seconds and noticed that Will was walking towards Elizabeth. I frowned and realized that he now had the opportune moment to tell her that he loved her. So I watched them for a couple of seconds, and neither of them had said a word until Elizabeth finally spoke "We should be getting back to the Dauntless".

Will then responded, "Yes, I'm sure your finance will be glad with your return". Elizabeth then glances at me quickly, and I caught her glance for a second so as an instinct I pretended like I was doing something else. I then heard Elizabeth say to Will "I don't believe I will be marrying Commodore Norrington anymore."

I turned around quickly to observe them and I watched William then smile happily and then ask her "Any particular reason why?" She then nods and begin to walk towards me. I then come out with a crown on my head and say, "I couldn't help but hear luv. Before we get into the horrible and painful details at which those may be, let us get one thing straight. I thank you for coming to my rescue as if I was some damsel in distress. But Lizzie luv, you and I are mates, and that we shall be."

I then begin to walk away and I whisper under my breath "You back stabbing wench!" Elizabeth then walks towards me angrily and asks, "What did you call me Jack?" My eyes then widen as I realized that she had heard. I turned around and tried to give her a dirty look. Will then took a few steps towards me also and asked angrily "What did you call her Jack?"

I then turned to look at him and said "Oh, good. William, I had almost forgotten you were here." Will then cracked his knuckles and asked seriously "Jack, what did you call Elizabeth?" I then smiled and began to look at Elizabeth and pointed at her while replying, "I called her a back stabbing wench even though you deserve worse luv." Elizabeth then breathed in out deeply and asked, "Why am I a backstabbing wench Jack?"

I then laugh and take a few steps backwards while replying "Forgetful are we deary?" Will then looks at Elizabeth and asks, "What is he talking about Elizabeth?" Elizabeth then glances down and shrugs her shoulders. I grin at her reaction and then say to her "Oh don't you worry your pretty little face young missy, I have no intention of sharing the details of our little island encounter. And I have no intention of sharing the details of that letter your father left you ordering you to help kill me." Elizabeth then gasped and then I walked towards her and said grinning, "Oh look at that, I lied."

Will then looked at Elizabeth in disbelief as he asked her "Did you actually receive that letter Elizabeth?" Elizabeth then closed her eyes as she answered, "Yes. I mean NO! I mean yes I received it but…." I then interrupted her and then shouted angrily "Do you have any idea how it feels to be me luv?" Elizabeth then looked down at ground trying to cover up the fact that she was crying. Will then warned me "Don't yell at her Jack!" I then smile at him and say sarcastically "Aye, aye. Fine I won't yell at little miss prissy pants from this moment on, savvy?"

Elizabeth then looked up at me and I noticed that she was crying. I didn't know why but even with the anger that filled my insides I felt my heart flutter and as an instinct I grabbed her in for a hug. She then began to cry onto my shoulder and I whispered into her hair "It's alright luv. I'm here."

She then looked into my eyes and I immediately snapped out of my trance and cleared my throat. I then took a few steps towards the treasure and looked down at it and then a thought came into my mind. I then walked towards Will and asked him "True or faux mate. There are other treasures other than silver and gold." Will then looked at me confused so I raised my voice "Answer my question." He then answered my question "True, but I don't see any relevance to what we were currently discussing."

I then walk towards Elizabeth and she started to wipe away her tears and then I whispered, "Did you hear that luv?" Elizabeth then nodded and I then smiled and said "Good. Now, think about that. But first would you care to explain to me how you are planning to kill me?" Elizabeth then stamped her foot and screamed, "I am not planning on killing you Jack! Why would I plan to kill you when I just saved you?"

I then took a few steps closer to her and explained "For many reasons, one out of the top of me head would be, to gain my trust." Elizabeth then took a few steps towards me and said "No…." I then interrupted her once more and said "No? Are you sure about that luv? Or are you just confused on whose side you're on?"

Elizabeth then walked towards me and shouted at me "Captain Jack Sparrow. I demand that you let me explain!" My eyes widen and my eyebrows rise at the tone of her voice and I glanced over at Will and he shrugged at me. I then rolled my eyes as she began to talk "Yes, I did receive a letter like the one you mentioned from my father. Yes, I did read it. But NO WAY would I ever agree to it!"

My eyebrows then narrow and then I ask smugly "Then why were you acting so…" I paused remembering that Will was near us and listening to our every word so I changed my words "…. why were you acting so friendly?" Elizabeth then gulped and she then whispered to me "Because Jack…. For the reason that…" I then breathed in deeply waiting for her answer, but I couldn't take the anticipation anymore so I screamed at her "Spite it out luv!" Elizabeth then screamed out "Because I love you! There I said it, all right are you happy Captain? I love you. I love you!"

My eyes then widened once more and then I looked down at the ground ashamed and then I said "Oh." Elizabeth then once again started talking "Remember when you came into the dining hall one after noon, and Norrington and my father kicked you out?" I nodded as she continued trying to absorb the information she was giving me. She then continued "Well, before that we had discussed the letter, and my father had forbidden me to talk to you because I had not agreed to his conditions."

I then nodded ashamedly because I had accused her of such an evil thing. I then began to walk towards her and I asked, "So you weren't trying to make me feel comfortable?" Elizabeth then laughed and answered "Well, Captain. I was but not with bad intentions". I then smiled and grabbed Elizabeth's hand and whispered "Then luv, I must tell ye something".

I then felt something sharp and cold slightly touch my throat and as an instinct I let go of Elizabeth's hand. I then took a step back and looked at the blade in front of me. I examined the sword and then said, "That's not too good is it?" I then heard a chuckle and then I then took another step backwards as Will began to speak "Funny how a sword can interrupt any moment. Can't it? (Pause) Please excuse me Captain. But I thought that my word counted in yours and Elizabeth's conversation."

I then smiled at him and said, "Actually no it won't mate." Elizabeth then began to insist, "Will put your sword down!" Will then said, "I will not! Elizabeth I demand that you tell me everything that happened between you and Jack." I then make a surprised face and I then speak "That I can do." I then walked away from his sword and answered his question "Nothing too important happened mate. It was a lot of la de da's. You know how it is with women? They can drive you nuts." Elizabeth then looked at me shocked and I then gave her a glance that meant I was lying.

Will then shouted, "I don't believe you Jack." I then shrugged and then he asked upset "You've been planning this from the beginning haven't you?" I then take out my sword and hit it against his while yelling "Aye I have. Since the day I met her." Will then swung his sword at me but I was able to swing my sword against his just in time. As we fought we also carried on a conversation.

Will was first to speak "I should have killed you when I had the chance to". I then smile and say "Should have, could have, wanted to but you didn't. Did you mate?" William then hits my sword violently and then yells at me "And now I will!".
