Chapter 24:
Not Guilty
Elizabeth bit her lip and Will grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her up against him while shouting, "Did you ever?" At that moment a voice behind Elizabeth and Will asked, "What be goin' on here?" It was my voice...
Will let go of Elizabeth's hand and she took a few steps away from him. Will shook his head and asked trying not to sound guilty "What do you mean, ugh… Jack?" My eyes were frozen on his eyes. I could see that something was going on, and I walked over to them and gave him an evil stare. Will bit his lip nervously while I was trying to contemplate what happened, and how I should punish the whelp.
But I had a feeling that my eyes were punishment enough. My black eyes had become somehow darker and I could see it in the whelp's face that he was scared just looking into them. I began to chuckle, and once I did William let out a huge sigh of relief and he also began to chuckle. I gave him a small smirk and then turned to my right to see Elizabeth standing beside me.
I rolled my shoulders back and said to her "Miss. Swann. Care t' explain t' me what happened?" Elizabeth looked at Will and whispered "Nothing, Jack". I nodded and licked my lips while taking a few more steps towards Will. I grabbed Will by the collar of his shirt and whispered "Ye an' I, eunuch, be havin' t' be havin' a wee talk". Will gulped as I screamed out to Elizabeth "Now ye. Miss Swann, go back to me cabin".
Elizabeth's face turned pale and she screamed out "Jack, don't hurt him!" I pushed Will back while letting go of his collar, and I took a few steps towards Elizabeth. I took her hand and whispered "I can't promise that, Miss. Swann". Elizabeth looked into my eyes and asked "Jack, why are you calling me that?" I gave her a small smirk and whispered, "I shall call ye what I want t' call ye, since ye decided upon th' decision that ye be goin' t' be goin' behind me aft an' givin' th' whelp a taste o' ye."
Elizabeth's eyes went wide and she began to scream at me "Is that what you think?" I began to chuckle and I whispered "I am not a fool, Miss. Swann. E'en though I may look like one." Elizabeth shook her head furiously and Will began to scream out "Nothing happened between me and Elizabeth!"
I turned around to Will and gave him a cold stare while asking "Really?" Will nodded and said to me "Yes." He then said to Elizabeth "I think you should go, I need to talk to Jack alone." Elizabeth nodded her head and whispered to Will "Will you be okay?" Will nodded, and Elizabeth walked away while saying "I'll be waiting in our cabin Jack".
I sneered at her statement and then walked over to Will while muttering, "I guess Elizabeth doesn't care if I be alright." Will chuckled and whispered, "What is the matter with you Jack? She is with you, what more do you want?" I gave him an evil glare and said firmly "I want ye dead!" I then took out my sword and held it against his throat while whispering "I heard what ye spake about ye lovin' th' lass', about how 't hurts t' be seein' us together! But then, when ye asked th' lass', if she ereloved ye…"
Will swallowed hard and said, "Jack, even if she did. That is in the past. Why does it matter to you anyway? It's not like she doesn't care about you anymore!" My eyes narrowed and they stared right into his as I yelled, "She doesn't! How could she be in yer arms, when jus' a wee moments ago she be in mine?" Will sighed and whispered, "She means a lot to you doesn't she?"
I closed my eyes as he continued, "Jack, nothing happened. We talked, we laughed, and that's all...as she put it, we're just friends, and that's all we've ever been". I examined his last statement in my head a few times and realized that it was true. I began to take a few steps back, and I put my sword back into its pouch.
I then whispered "I have to go find 'Lizabeth. (Pause) I'm sorry…. ye bloody whelp." Will chuckled and said back to me "It's alright, Jack. All I want is to find my father. I have no intention in stealing Elizabeth away from you." I began to walk away and once I was out of sight, Will chuckled and whispered "Not yet, anyway".

I opened the door to my cabin and saw Elizabeth sitting down on my bed waiting patiently for my return. Elizabeth looked at me sadly and asked, "You didn't kill him did you?" I gave her a small smile and said back jokingly "Aye, I did. I just finished putting his heart in Davy Jones' chest." Elizabeth took a few stops towards me and whispered, "Your lying to me, the ring says you are".
I took a few steps towards her and whispered "Lizzie, I didn't kill him, although I wish someone would." Elizabeth gave me a small smile and grabbed my hand while whispering, "You called me Lizzie". I nodded and said back rhetorically "Ye be a bit wiser then I thought ye were". Elizabeth hit me on the shoulder and whispered "Jack, you know what I mean!"
I nodded and she began to explain very quickly "It just that it all happened so fast. We did not kiss or anything like that. I would never do that to you…" I looked at her dazed as she explained and I couldn't help but grin at how sorry she actually was. I took her head and pulled her closer to me while whispering, "Luv, ye talk too much".
She chuckled as I leaned in to kiss her, but she stopped me and asked "Are you sure your not mad?" I rolled my eyes and whispered sadly "Was that necessary?" Elizabeth shook her head as she answered with a question "I just want to make sure." I grabbed her head closer to mine and this time I caught her lips.
I kissed her passionately and after a few moments I let her go and whispered, "Let's go to bed, luv". Elizabeth nodded and took me by the hand and said, "Are you sure?" I chuckled and said "Aye, Aye. I couldn't be more sure… just one question." Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders so I continued, "Did ye ever love the whelp?"
Elizabeth sighed and whispered "Perhaps, a long time ago. When I was much younger, but not now. We're just friends, and I am pretty sure that's what we'll always be." I walked over to my bed, sat on it and whispered "Good. Now, sleep." Elizabeth laid down beside me but she then yelled out "What was that thing that you didn't tell me that you were going to tell me but didn't?" I closed my eyes and whispered "It's not morning yet, luv".

The next morning, I stood at the wheel and watched Norrington scrub the deck. I was quite content and I wasn't afraid to show it. I yelled at James "You missed a spot, mate". James rolled his eyes and moved his sponge towards a spot and asked me "Where?" I sighed and shouted trying to tease him "Must I do everything!"
I pointed to a spot on the deck next to him and said "There." James took the sponge dipped it water and began to scrub that spot. I then rolled my eyes and shouted out "Nay! Not that one, the one next to it!" James took the sponge and moved it closer to him and began to scrub while muttering, "I've become a slave to rum soaked bitter pig pirates!"
I then yelled out "Not that one! Ugh, for a former commodore you sure are not smart. Take the sponge, lift it up in the air…" James rolled his eyes and did so, and I continued, "Now, take the sponge and clean up that ugly thing behind it." James rolled his eyes once more and moved the sponge back, but then he realized "Do you happen to be talking about my face?"
I chuckled and whispered, "A nasty little bugger isn't it?" James dropped the sponge and shouted out "You don't deserve Elizabeth!" I turned the wheel towards the east while saying back "Ye probably be right, but I do have her don't I?" James bit his lip and muttered under his breath "I cannot wait to leave your ship! I'll make sure you get taken away by Jones. I cannot believe I am taking orders from a man like you".
A few seconds later Will walked up to me and asked "Anything I could do?" I looked at him with the corner of my eye and whispered "Aye…nothing." Will sighed and asked madly "Why not?" I said back "Because I don't need ye". Just then, part of the sail fell and Gibbs was trapped under it, so he began to yell, "Captain, I need assistance!" Will looked at me and asked proudly "Still don't need my help?"
I looked at Gibbs and saw that he was struggling and so I said back "No, he'll be fine. He just needs a tighter grip that's all. Hold onto it tighter Gibbs! Ye be holdin' it like ye are dead!" Gibbs face began to turn purple as he said back "Captain, I'll be dead if ye don't let young William help me!"
I rolled my eyes and said to Will "Oh, the scallywag be getting old. Fine, ye go help". Will nodded proudly and picked up part of the sail and then put it back into place. I saw Mr. Cotton next to me and so I told him to take the wheel as I went to talk to Gibbs.
I made my way towards Gibbs while shouting "Ye know, Joshamee, you've done a lot of right in the past, and now your doing a lot of wrong. Go check the other sails, and make sure they don't fall on you this time." Will smiled at me while saying "…and if they do, I'll be happy to help you." Gibbs and Will both left, and I rolled my eyes as I saw Elizabeth sitting by herself near the side of the ship.
I took a few steps towards her and asked, "Is something wrong luv?" Elizabeth sighed and looked at the ring on her finger while whispering, "We could have been married. I am so ready to be married." I nodded and took her hand and said to her "Aye, I know luv. But we can't get married now…" Elizabeth nodded and opened the compass and I looked at it, but she didn't. It pointed towards her left and I looked to her left and I saw Will there.
My eyes went wide and I said angrily as I stormed off "…and we never will!"
