Chapter: 47:

Killing The Air

"What do ye mean she's gone"? Tia asked quickly as if she knew that she would be asked that question. Helena's eyes wondered towards mine and when she set out a straight gaze into my eyes, she did not even mention one more syllable. I looked around the ship and asked, "Did ye check everywhere and anywhere"? Helena shook her head and whispered "Well…no…not everywhere". I cleared my throat and walked up towards the helm and shouted at Mr. Gibbs "Stop the ship! Throw down the bloody anchor! Frank check the brig, Tia check the cabins, and Helena check the whole bloody ship"!

Tia looked back at me as I lowered the anchor quickly and swung off my jacket with all the force within me. Frank watched me stand up on the rail with wide eyes while screaming, "It's a fool's errand Jack! Ye can't go out there, not even the sun's rays could help ye now". I puffed out angrily and lifted myself onto the railing while replying "Oh yes they bloody well could". Tia walked over to me and whispered "Jack Sparrow, I have never known ye to be a fool. Get down this instant…. she is not in the ocean".

I turned my head around slightly and asked, "Well then…where is she"? I climbed down the ropes and watched Tia's expression change to one of angst. She whispered out almost inaudibly "She be in the sea…." I rolled my eyes and jumped up on the rail while screaming "Aye, so then why do ye be wasting' my time! She could be dying…she could be…." Tia interrupted with a steady voice "Jack Sparrow…she is not dying! The only reason I said she be in the sea, be 'cause she's been taken by the sea".

I slowly lowered myself from the rail and sat down on the wooden deck with my head in my hands. Helena looked at us puzzled and asked, "Well, what does that mean exactly"? I looked up at her sadly and whispered in an angry tone that surprised even myself "Jones has taken her…" Frank shook his head and continued for me "Nay, not Jones I'm afraid. The Flying Dutchmen is controlled by Lord Beckett now, so that means…." I continued in a soft voice "that means…. that the East India Trading company has her. That means, Will has her…."

I stopped myself and looked at Tia and asked confused "How exactly do ye this"? Tia looked down and I suddenly felt like a whelp. Tia knew everything', it's just that she doesn't know when anythin' will happen. I looked over at Frank and ordered "Tell Mr. Gibbs to keep on sailing…. it doesn't matter to where…when we are not ready, the Dutchmen will rise…. and then we will fight". Frank's eyes widened as he mentioned, "But Jack, you've always ran away from a fight". I licked my lips and shouted, "This is for Lizzie…and to once and for all…to destroy that whelp William Turner"!

"Tea…Miss Swann"? Beckett held a cup of Tea in front of Elizabeth. Elizabeth sat on a chair with her hands tied behind her back and with a scarf over her mouth. Beckett chuckled and took a sip of the Tea before saying with a smirk on his face "Oh, that's right. That scarf seems to be covering your mouth. Sorry about that dear". Beckett then removed the scarf from Elizabeth's mouth and whispered "Oh that's better isn't it Mister Turner"?

Just then William come into the room and smiled at Elizabeth while saying to her "Yes, now we can see your pretty little lips Elizabeth. It's nice to see you again, Miss. Swann". Elizabeth rolled her eyes and just in the chair quietly. Beckett then asked angrily "Did you lose your tongue since Jack Sparrow started devouring his with yours"? Elizabeth's eyes started to fill up with tears so Will chuckled and whispered "Don't waste your tears Elizabeth…I'm sure Jack Sparrow will come rescue you soon, and when he does, I'll let you go…." Elizabeth's eyes widened as Will continued "…. but I'll be sure to kill him first".

Elizabeth then muttered softly "It's too late for that…" Will eyed Beckett closely as he asked obliviously "What do you mean by that"? Elizabeth shook her head lightly and responded "Jacob Smith…." Beckett cleared his throat anxiously and asked, "No, you seem a bit confused. We are asking about Jack Sparrow". Elizabeth sighed and shouted out angrily "Jack Sparrow does not exist! It's Jacob Smith now…. and that's all because of you Will. You despicable cockroach excuse of a human being! You ruined my life"!

Even though Will was confused, he felt the need to remark back to her, so he did "No, Miss. Swann. Jack ruined your life, from the moment you fell into his arms back in Port Royal". Elizabeth shook her head and whispered back softly "No…that is the day where my life began".

Will felt his eyelids all of a sudden get really heavy, so he closed his eyes and shoot back "If Jack wouldn't have rescued you, you wouldn't be here right now. You would be…" Elizabeth interrupted "I would be what? At some violin/tea/dance/honorary/hair curling discussion? Yes, because that does seem very inviting".

Beckett chuckled for a second and asked "And what Jack Sparrow…lets you…or let you do other things? For God sakes, you're a woman"! Elizabeth's mouth dropped as Beckett still had the nerve to continue "What? Did he make you wash the deck or cook"? Elizabeth's mouth curled as she screamed angrily "No, he did not make me cook or wash the deck! He let me sail, he left me be free…"

And Will interrupted "…and free you will be once Jack comes to rescue you". Elizabeth wanted to scream at him and to tell him that it was bloody Jacob Smith, but she knew that they wouldn't listen. So she sat quietly and thought about the life that she chose and the life that she could have, if Jack were still alive.

"My thoughts used to overcome my heart, but no more is there such a blessing. My mind twiddles at the very thought of her bitterness, but my heart flutters at the very thought of her pink pale lips. Her lips, my lips, interacting as one. How much I would like my lips to indulge every single inch of her skin. But my mind curses at my thoughts, and it causes me to experience the quality of my control within her. My black coarse eyes are no match for her deep hazel brown eyes. For my eyes represent the night and hers the sunlight in its most miraculous hour.

How many nights I had been stuck in another world wishing that I had been in her arms. Her soft, but smooth arms around my fevering body as if I was a small child in need of protection and comfort. My fevering body holding her tightly never wanting to let go, because if I would, even so accidentally, then she would vanish. I wish she could lay in my arms as she once did, sweetly and tenderly. At that isle that I was ever so lucky to be marooned on with her, with her lips, her perfect hands, and with her, perfection in its self…"

I dropped the quill from my hands not wanting to ever write again. I dabbed the quill in the ink that sat upon my desk. I couldn't stand the feeling that wrestled at the pit of my stomach. It was a feeling on anguish, a feeling of angst, a feeling of heartache. And this was all because of the thought that Will was on that ship with Elizabeth. Elizabeth was unaware of my breaths, and Will who is still hopelessly in love with the woman the posses my heart, I couldn't bare the pain that could ensue in the future. I dabbed the quill in ink once again and wrote"Elizabeth unaware of my breaths, and Will still hopelessly in love with the woman the posses my heart"… on the paper in front of me.

I sighed and dropped the quill on my desk not wanting to ever see it again. I lifted my legs upon my desk and stretched out widely. I yawned and let my hand fall back flippantly as thoughts of my Lizzie reoccurred within my mind. I shook them away and decided to go up on deck and shout orders for that always made me feel empowered. And truth be told, I did not feel empowered at the moment. I felt weak, insecure, in love. Feelings that I had lost somewhere on my travels presided within me and never until this moment had I ever claimed to retrieve them.

"Do you know why you are here"? Elizabeth shook her head as she now was tied to the mast. Beckett stood in front of her holding a sword to her throat while continuing "I want your crew and your father to watch you die…." Elizabeth gulped as Beckett continued "…but of course you won't die because Mr. Sparrow will want to die for you". Elizabeth had given up a long time ago with the whole Jacob-Jack situation. She didn't care anymore…she just wanted Jack back.

Beckett suddenly screamed "Captain, take us to the nearest Port. Where we will wait for Jack Sparrow and his crew. There Miss. Swann, he will die, and Mr. Turner here…" He stopped talking for a second and pointed to Will "…. will do the honors of killing the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow". Elizabeth sighed and whispered sarcastically "Have fun then killing the air"!

Will smiled at Elizabeth and then whispered to Beckett "The ropes around Miss. Swann are not necessary, she has nowhere to go upon this vessel". Lord Beckett smiled at Will and said loudly "Very well. Ye heard the Commodore…untie Miss. Swann". Elizabeth's widened at the word Commodore. She shook her head piously and said, "Did betraying me earn you this position"? Will looked at the floor sadly so Elizabeth asked once again but this time angrily "Did it? Answer me Will"!

Will nodded as the roped fell off of Elizabeth's arms. Elizabeth chuckled and said trying to imitate Jack "Only a eunuch, eh"? Will smiled at her and whispered coldly "That was a very good imitation, Elizabeth. Once I kill Jack, you could take his place". Elizabeth smiled at him and whispered "That is, if you can kill him".

"A ship was spotted, Captain. White sails and all, at that yonder Port. Something called, Havens Isle, sir". Gibbs muttered through his teeth to me. I squinted my eyes to try to see the ship clearer. But I sighed and replied "Nay, that's not it. Why would it stop? It's not like they want me to come aboard, eh"? Gibbs nodded and shouted to the crew "Keep goin' lads, that nay be the ship we be lookin' for". But indeed, it was.
