Chapter 8:

Good Pirate

"Where do we put him"? Elizabeth asked Gibbs and William Turner who seem to be looking at her puzzled. Elizabeth rolled her eyes and repeated "Where do we put the lad? 'Cuz he can't very well be on top of me all night…" Elizabeth then chuckled at the ironic circumstances that happened. Gibbs muttered cautiously "Ye be right Captain... Turner, grab his legs and I'll take his arms".

As Gibbs and William carried him across the barn Elizabeth watched them in surprise. Elizabeth sighed and walked towards the place where Gibbs and Will had placed him. Gibbs looked at Jack and muttered smiling "I be willin' to bet that he never drink rum again". Will chuckled and whispered "Other than rum, Mr. Gibbs…" He then looked over at Elizabeth while asking, "Do we have something else to eat or drink? I am rather starved".

Gibbs nodded while replying, "Aye, just follow me Mr. Turner". As Will and Gibbs scarped down any food they could find. Elizabeth sat down beside Jack, who was in front of the fireplace. Elizabeth smiled as she watched him lay there; the fireplace seemed to give him a different glow. Her eyebrows then crossed as she noticed something that had fallen out of his pocket. She moved the piece of hay that was on top of the object aside and lifted up and shiny necklace locket. She examined it closely and a memory seemed to come to her…

"Elizabeth, what do ye think ye be doin' sweetheart"? A four year old Elizabeth looked up at her pirate father and whispered, "Nothin' father. I was lookin' for my toy ship in the closet and I found this…" The four-year-old Elizabeth lifted up the locket and held it in front of her father who gasped and took it immediately from her.

He then said, "This is mine, sweetheart…." Elizabeth looked at her father puzzled as she asked "Yours? What is inside of it"? Her father smiled and whispered "A picture of yer mother…if ye would like...now that you've seen it anyway...ye may have it if ye wish". Elizabeth smiled at her father and whispered "Aye, thank ye father".

The real Elizabeth gasped and dropped the necklace locket on top of Jack accidentally. She closed her eyes for a second at the mistake she made. Elizabeth then looked down to see the locket on Jacks chest. She squinted for a second and reached for it slowly hoping not to wake Jack up. She then reached his chest and grabbed the locket quickly but then Elizabeth once again dropped the locket onto the hay.

She gasped at the fact that Jack had now awaken and grabbed her arm in the process. Elizabeth bit her lip and looked at him sadly while whispering, "I didn't mean to make ye, swain". Jack rubbed his eyes and asked, "What were you doing just now"? Elizabeth chuckled as she realized that her hand had just been on his chest.

She blushed, picked up the locket beside him and whispered "This, Jack. How did ye get it"? Jack slowly got up and rubbed his eyes because he still couldn't see clearly. Jack then let out a sigh from the pain his head was experiencing. Elizabeth then pushed herself off her knees and said, "Here, I'll get ye some water". But Jack stopped her by pulling on her arm and whispering "No, Lizzie. Just stay".

Elizabeth smiled at him as he slowly got up and sat normally. He then looked at the locket before him and asked, "Where do you get that"? Elizabeth gave him a small smirk and asked, "I asked ye the same question". Jack nodded and whispered with a small smile rising from his lips "I don't know. I suppose, I found it on a ship one day". Elizabeth looked at him and asked questionably "On a ship"? Jack nodded and asked, "Yes, I believe so. May I be so bold to ask why you want to know where I found this item?"

Elizabeth quickly glanced at the locket and then looked deep into Jack's eyes while muttering "It was me fathers…. well, it was mine. I left it on a ship one day…. when". Elizabeth then closed her eyes tightly and Jack asked "When"? Elizabeth gave Jack the locket back and whispered hurt "I don't want to talk about it".

Elizabeth then sat in a crossed legged position in front of the fireplace and whispered to Jack "Ye should go back to sleep". Jack looked at her confused and whispered smiling "But I just woke up…well, sort of". Elizabeth looked at the fireplace and raised her voice slightly while saying "I think ye should go to sleep Jack…." Elizabeth then got up and started shouting orders to Will, Gibbs and Jack "All of ye should go to bed. Were leavin' tomorrow, and where were goin'…we be needin' our rest".

"This is the crew that ye chose for me Gibbs"? Elizabeth paced on the H.M.S Dauntless because she couldn't believe her eyes. Gibbs nodded scarcely as the sailors entered the ship. Elizabeth rolled her eyes as Jack walked by. She then grabbed onto his jacket and asked angrily "These…. What be word I be looking for?" Hmm…. Oh, I know. These washed up pirates be me crew?" Jack nodded and asked tempting her "Yes, is there a problem"?

Elizabeth looked at him furiously as he continued "…. because you know if you wanted a better crew, we really shouldn't have been given such short notice". Elizabeth bit her lip desperately wanting to debate back. But she knew she was wrong, so she licked her lips and kept quiet. Just then another sailor walked onto the wooden deck, and by accident tripped over a barrel of rum and he fell right onto his face.

The sailor got up quickly and apologized to Captain Swann. Elizabeth was just about to scream at him when Jack grabbed her arm and whispered into her ear "Short notice". Elizabeth frowned as she looked at the sailor before her. She then controlled herself and whispered to him "Carry on". The sailor smiled at Jack and got up as quickly as he could and walked away.

Elizabeth sighed frustrated and turned around to try to get away from Jack. But Jack stood right in front of her and chuckled. He then asked thoroughly "Trying to get rid of me are we"? Elizabeth rolled her eyes and turned around once again, and then she let out a small smile. But she erased that smile off her face as Jack pulled her around once more.

He then asked puzzled "Why do you have to be so cold hearted"? Elizabeth gasped and asked, "What do ye mean"? Jack chuckled and took his finger and ran it across her face while asking, "You know. You were about to yell at the man, just because he tripped over a barrel of rum". Elizabeth repositioned her hat on her head and replied, "If you haven't noticed Jack. I happen to be a pirate".

Jack chuckled and alleged proudly "That I know Captain Swann. But other than the title of 'Pirate', as you give yourself. Who are you"? Elizabeth looked at him puzzled and Jack then took off her hat and whispered "Underneath this hat…underneath those clothes… who are you"? Elizabeth looked at her hat in Jack's hand and whispered seductively "Ye took off me hat…how about me clothes"?

Jack rolled his eyes and replied sarcastically "Perhaps later". He then paused and moved a little bit closer to her while asking, "Tell me Lizzie. Who are ye"? Elizabeth looked at him confused and asked, "Is there a point to this"? Jack gave her a small smirk and nodded. Elizabeth shrugged and then answered his question "Well, I'm Captain Elizabeth Swann. I'm notorious, I'm infamous, and I'm famous…" Jack then interrupted her while saying "Other than you being famous… who are you"?

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and said to Jack "Ye didn't let me finish"! Jack chuckled and put her hat back on her head while saying "I don't need to, Elizabeth. Other than you being a pirate, Miss. Swann. You are a good person". Elizabeth laughed out loud for what seemed like 30 seconds. She then shook her head and said deliberately "Hardly".

Jack smiled at her and then tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. He didn't say anything, all he did was stare into her eyes, and that was enough to make Elizabeth have chills creep up her spine. Elizabeth looked away frightened with the sensation that she just felt. Jack then asked her softly "Tell me, Lizzie. Is there something bothering you"?

Elizabeth put her hands on the railing of the ship, while she tried her hardest not to look in Jack's eyes. She then shook her head as Jack asked, "Are you sure"? Elizabeth looked down at the ocean, gasped, and then walked towards the steering wheel while shouting orders "Raise the anchor ye scallywags! Mister Gibbs…. Prepare to set sail. We've got to make up some time. Sail…ugh…"

Elizabeth then took out her compass and opened it up and it pointed towards Jack. She gasped and looked up at Gibbs while shouting shocked "Sail…". She then re-opened her compass and it pointed once again to Jack. She shook her head angrily and shouted out a random order "Sail…. starboard"! Gibbs nodded, and Elizabeth then walked down the stairs of the deck to go into her cabin.

Jack ran after her confused and Elizabeth made sure she didn't look back as she made her way towards her cabin. She was about to open the door when Jack pulled on her arm and asked, "What's wrong"? Elizabeth softly gasped as he spun her around to look into his eyes. She stared into his eyes and he did the same to hers, until she whispered, "Let me go in…" Jack grabbed her arms softly and he was able to utter out "No, not until you tell me…."

Elizabeth made no effort to get away, even though it would be easy for her to escape his grasp. She then whispered stunned "Just let me go…" Jack shook his head slightly and then moved closer to her and whispered "Lizzie…" Elizabeth looked up into Jack's eyes and whispered back "I can't…." Jack once again shook his head puzzled and then he grabbed her hand and whispered "No need to be afraid, Lizzie".

Elizabeth's mouth opened slightly and she breathed in and out heavily and gasped out "Jack…" Elizabeth then moved her eyes slightly to Jack's lips, and his eyes followed hers. Jack smiled at her a bit and whispered, "There ye are Lizzie. You don't have to be so afraid…." Elizabeth shook her head and she felt Jack's body create warmth upon hers. Jack then whispered, "Whatever it is. I promise I won't be upset. You're a good person, Elizabeth".

Elizabeth shook her head and whispered desperately "Nay, I'm not". She then escaped his grasp and opened the door to her cabin. Leaving Jack out in the hallway speechless, confused but even more disappointed.
