Thank you so much for the reviews for the last chapter.

I really appreciate it.

Enjoy and don't forget to review.

And please excuse the spelling/grammar mistakes I had no time to edit.

Thank you.

Chapter 30:

The Trick

The sun had slowly risen from its heavenly bed up to the morning sky. The news from the night before had kept me up and all night and I had prayed for sunlight. All through the night my head filled with evil thoughts and I hadn't been able to sleep. My eyes were red and I could fell the bags under my eyes sinking deeper into my skin.

I let out a soft sigh and turned to face Elizabeth who was sleeping beside me. I examined her soft but delicate face and I felt a sudden urge to wake her up. I consciously knew I shouldn't, so I just tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and whispered "Sleep, darlin'." I yawned as quietly as I could and got up out of bed.

I looked around and was surprised at what I saw. It was my cabin on the Black Pearl. I took a few steps and looked around when a memory came to me. I chuckled slightly because I remembered that we had left Tia's house as quickly as possible. I looked around the cabin for a clean shirt to wear. I pointed in the direction of one and grabbed it and placed it one me when I heard a soft moan.

I turned to see Elizabeth still sleeping as sweet and as soundly as ever. I took a few steps towards her and got down on my knees to look directly at her striking face. A few seconds had passed and my eyes were unable to look away from her. A small grin grew on my face as I whispered "Stunnin'…." A small smile trickled across her face and she whispered with her eyes closed "So are you Jack."

Her eyes opened slowly to see me looking deep into hers. She moved the pillow beneath her head forward slightly and asked "How long have you been watching me?" I shrugged and said smugly "That all depends on how long ye've been awake, luv." Elizabeth gave me a soft smile and asked suspiciously "Why have you been watching me?" I thought about her question for a second and replied honestly "I don't know, luv."

Elizabeth smiled at me sweetly and lifted her self off the bed and I stopped her from getting up by placing my hands on her hips and saying firmly "Nay, luv. Don't get up. Ye need yer rest." Elizabeth gave me a confused look and took one of her hands and rose up and put it up to my head and asked half jokingly "Do you have a fever Jack?"

I rolled my eyes as she continued "What is with you this morning Jack?" I took her hand off my head and held it and kissed it while whispering, "I jus' reckon that this might be th' last mornin' I erewake up t' ye…." Elizabeth gasped at my remark and pulled me closer to her while whispering almost inaudible "Oh Jack…." I smiled and kissed the side of her head while I hugged her.

I chuckled lightly and whispered into her ear arrogantly "…an' last night might been th' last time we be ereto bed each other." Elizabeth took a step back and hit me lightly while stating puzzled "We didn't do that last night…." I chuckled and joked "Well, I didn't say that both us were awake." Elizabeth gasped and punched on the shoulder lightly while saying, "Jack!" I could see that she was trying to be angry but she couldn't help but giggle.

Elizabeth then repeated, "We didn't do that, last night end of story." I sighed and stated provokingly "I know we didn't, but we shouldhave. That is all I'm trying to…" Elizabeth put a finger to my lips and said angrily "One more word and we'll never, ever again!" I removed her finger from my lips and gently kissed it before moving it away.

I then took a step closer to her and said seductively "Really? Well I don't think you'd be able to resist…" I leaned my lips closer to hers and whispered "It's an awful temptation isn't it luv?" Elizabeth looked directly at my lips and whispered, "Yes, it would be an awful temptation…" She then moved her lips closer to mine but I pulled away and mocked her "If I were a pirate I should try to avoid temptation."

Elizabeth pouted and said crossly "Don't you dare mock me." I smiled at her and whispered, "Nay I won't mock ye, but thar's nay rule about kissin' ye." I placed my hands around her back and moved in closer towards her face while whispering coolly "and ye an' I both know, we do that well…."

My lips touched hers and we kissed for what it felt like a century until of course an interruption. Norrington yelled "Jack, I think you should come up stairs before I kill Turner myself." I pushed Elizabeth away from me slightly and said angrily "Turner!" I walked over to my desk and grabbed my sword and put it into my sword pouch and then I opened the drawer to my desk and pulled out my gun.

I put it into my pocket while Elizabeth asked worriedly "Jack what are you planning to do?" I smiled at her and replied "Nothin' t' harsh, luv. Don't worry. First I be goin' t' cut off each an' ever' one o' his fingers an' then covers his wounds in salt…." I smiled at her and continued "Japanese torture, its nay very pleasant." I took a step but then Elizabeth pulled me back and yelled "Jack! Please don't hurt him!"

I gave her a hurt look and she said softly "I want to hurt him myself!" I smiled at her as she opened the door and whispered, "Now that's the wench I love!" She gave me a dirty look and I chuckled slightly while whispering "Sorry…" She rolled her eyes and went up the stairs with me right behind her.

I walked out of the cabin and asked Norrington "Does he know anything yet?" James shook his head and replied "No Jack. The crews been giving him a few mean stares and such but he doesn't know anything else." I smiled at James as we stepped onto the main deck and whispered, "Perfect." James and Elizabeth looked at me happily and Elizabeth asked shocked "Your not thinking…" I interrupted her by saying "Oh, but I am luv. James tell the crew that no one should speak a word to Mr. bloody whelp Turner until I see fit, savvy?"

James nodded andwalked away while whispering "Very well, Captain." James then stopped dead in his tracks because he realized what he had just called me. He rolled his eyes and muttered, "How low can a man sink?" I gave him a small grin as he continued walking to notify the crew.

Elizabeth tapped me on the shoulder and said smartly "What your going to do to Will is just mean, cruel and dishonest…" She paused for a second and chuckled while saying "…and I like it." My eyes widened and I came closer to her while whispering, "I nereknew ye like mean cruel an' dishonest things. I'll keep that in mind fer tonight…" Elizabeth gave me a dirty look just when a voice behind us said "Jack, old friend and Elizabeth, why you look…."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and interrupted while shouting "Cut the bull Will, we know what you did!" My eyebrows narrowed and I gave Elizabeth a look of anger and she bit her lip angry with herself. Will looked at us confused and asked, "What did I do?" Elizabeth made up an excuse "…. ugh…ugh…. nothing expect glorifying us with your presence."

I shot her a look that asked 'glorifying' and she shrugged and continued, "So, did you find the key?" Will looked at the ground madly and whispered, "No, I didn't. I am very sorry Jack." I gave him a small smirk and shouted at him (I was only pretending to be angry) "…Then what are you good for?" In my mind I thought 'Nothing, but that's not the point of eunuchs. They are supposed to ruin peoples dreams… but this bloody whelp wouldn't ruin anyone's dream.'

I then realized that he had answered me back so I looked at Elizabeth who answered his question for me "Oh… we left Tia's house because we thought we should find you." Will asked her confused "But weren't you trying to stay away from Jones?" I chuckled and put my arm around Elizabeth while trying to correct her lie "No! What she means is, is that we were worried that something might have happened to ye so we went looking for ye."

Will looked taken back so he asked softly "You all did that for me?" I rolled my eyes and answered back "Well, it wasn't my idea. It was…ugh… Tia's." Will smiled and asked "Tia's?" I nodded and I squeezed Elizabeth's shoulder a bit and she shouted out "Yes, I mean… Aye, Aye Captain…." She chuckled and I looked at her and mouthed to her "That's enough." So she stopped chuckling.

Will looked at me and asked "Anyway, Jack. Where are we headed?" I was about to answer but Elizabeth stopped me by saying "Port Royal." She smiled and I looked at her confused but by the look on her face I could tell she had an idea. I nodded and said "Aye. Port Royal…." I then looked around to see Gibbs at the wheel. I bit my lip and said while running away quickly "Would ye mates excuse me? 't seems that I be havin' an unyieldin' need t' talk t' Mr. Gibbs…."
