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.

Chapter 9:

Risk Granted

Jack stared at the door to Elizabeth's cabin wondering what his next step was. Should he knock, or should he just leave? He gazed blankly at the door as he placed his closed fists on it. He then let out a soft sigh and decided to try once more to talk to her…Jack was about to knock when he realized that he had never cared more about anything more in his life.

'No, not her. I don't care about her…. Do I'? Jack thought quite puzzled. He let out another sigh and whispered to himself "Of course you don't, you just want to know about the locket". But even to Jack himself, that statement did not sound too convincing. He shook his thoughts away and finally knocked on the door to the cabin.

Elizabeth shouted at the door frustrated "I don't be wantin' company at the moment"! Jack let out a small smile and knocked on the door once again while shouting "Just let me in Lizzie…" Elizabeth rolled her eyes and began to bite her nails as she sat on her bed inside the cabin. Jack licked his lips and shouted once more at the door "Just tell me what's wrong! It's probably nothing…I mean it is you Elizabeth".

Elizabeth couldn't take it anymore, so she ran up to the door and swung it open harshly. She then pushed Jack onto the other wall and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. She had wide eyes as she screamed into his face "What do ye mean by that ye scabbers dog, eh? Do ye happen to mean that I am a good person? That I, Captain Elizabeth Swann…"

She then let go of his collar and he took a few steps backwards frightened as she continued, "…am a good person? I, me, myself, Elizabeth…Captain…Miss. Swan…Lizzie…Liz…. whatever the bloody hell ye want to be callin' me, is nay a good person". Jack let out a soft chuckle and asked interested "Why is it so important to you, to not be a good person"?

Elizabeth took a deep breath, rearranged her hat on her head and replied shouting, "I am a bloody pirate, Jack. I am not ye". Jack smiled at her and took a few steps towards her and reached for her hand, but she pulled it away and screamed out "This is nay a joke Jack"! But Jack continued smiling at her because of how she was acting, he thought it was adorable. She was trying so hard to prove her point, although it was already proven.

Elizabeth clenched her fists and shouted, "Stop smiling! I am a pirate, I'll cut off those lips of yers"! Jack's smile then turned into a smirk and he laughed as he tempted her "Then why don't you Miss. Swann, oh apologies, CaptainSwann". Elizabeth bit her bottom lip so roughly that it almost started to bleed. She reached into her pocket and took out her pistol.

She then pinned Jack against the wall and held the gun to his forehead. At first Jack stared at her in bewilderment. But as seconds passed, he looked at her in the eyes and noticed that they were twinkling. He breathed in deeply causing his chest to rise near hers, and when that happened he noticed that she was shaking. As if she was nervous, or worried for some reason.

Elizabeth quivered vastly not knowing of her actions. She looked up at the gun that she held to his head and slightly cringed. Jack then titled his head to the side so he could be closer to her ear. He took one hand and carefully moved a few strands of her hair away from her ear. He smiled as he whispered, "I know your not going to do it Elizabeth." He paused and breathed into her neck and whispered "You need me to set you free".

Elizabeth turned her head to the same side Jack's head was on and now their faces were almost touching. Elizabeth then slid the gun down his forehead to his neck and cocked the trigger. Jack let out a small smirk as Elizabeth alleged angrily "I am free, all I be havin' to do is kill ye, and then I can leave on this ship and find the Pearl on me own". Jack's eyebrows narrowed as she spoke this, but his confidence still remained in full integral.

Jack then wrapped his arms around her and took one hand and placed it on her elbow. He then whispered once again into her neck "Just let go of the gun, Elizabeth". Elizabeth shook her head and shook slightly as she did. Jack then slowly ran his fingers up and down the arm that she held the gun in. Elizabeth took a deep breath in and tried holding the gun at a different and more stable angle.

But Jack smiled and then whispered once again into her ear "You may be a pirate, but let's not forget that I am an expert negotiator." He paused and ran his hands up and down her back and she sighed deeply with every stroke he made. Jack shot her a smile and then looked into her eyes and whispered, "Just let go". Elizabeth shook her head as he ran one of his hands on her arm and the other hand around her hips.

Elizabeth once again cringed as he continued to move his hand up her arm and he finally reached her hand. He then gently caressed each finger and Elizabeth for a second felt light headed as he did so. Jack then took her hand in his, and she no longer had a look of anger on her face. She now had a look of surprise, of astonishment, and of tenderness.

He then removed the gun slowly from her hand and she just stared at him in the eyes. Jack then dropped the gun to the floor and whispered, "That wasn't so hard now was it"? That sentence seemed to bewitch Elizabeth; actually it was more him that mesmerized her. Time seemed to go so slowly that it seemed like the gun still hadn't hit the floor yet, but it did actually about thirty seconds ago to be precise. Elizabeth leaned forward a bit and Jack did the same. Elizabeth's lips with every centimeter she got closer to his her smile got bigger and bigger. As Jacks and her lips were about to touch, something flashed in Jacks mind. 'Pirate'.

Jack quickly moved away from her and shook off that thought from his mind. Elizabeth looked at him sadly and disappointed and Jack failed to look at her back. He just stared at the floor and where the gun was now positioned. Elizabeth rolled her eyes, and sighed angrily while saying bitterly to Jack "Once again, not exactly the risk I be talkin' about".

Elizabeth then opened the door to her cabin and slammed it behind her. Jack once again stared at the door disappointed, but this time he was disappointed in himself. He continued to gaze at the door vividly until he finally decided to knock on it once more. Jack took a few steps towards the door and knocked on it loudly. Elizabeth opened it immediately and screamed "What do ye want Jack"?

Suddenly Jack cupped her face with his hands and kissed her with as much passion that his soul could bare. He then pulled her out into the hall, closed the door, and pinned her up against it. Elizabeth kissed him back tenderly, and Jack began to bite her bottom lip. Elizabeth let out a soft moan, as Jack caressed her back with his hands.

Elizabeth broke free of his grasp for one second to open the door behind them. She then pulled herself and Jack in as they still remained kissing fervently. Elizabeth breathed out "Jack…" and he once again pinned her up against a wall. Elizabeth jumped up and wrapped her legs around his body as he held her up in the air. Elizabeth moved his head to the side so she could gently suck on his earlobe and neck. Jack breathed in slowly and then Jack dropped her and whispered in Elizabeth's ear "Is this the risk you were talking about"?

Elizabeth nodded quickly and then grabbed his face once again and kissed him once more. But their series of kisses were interrupted with a knock at the door. Elizabeth quickly jumped onto her feet and ran towards the door and asked, "Who is it"? A sarcastic answer came back from the other side "The tooth fairy".

Jack looked at Elizabeth with a shocked and puzzled look. Elizabeth then shouted at the door "What do ye want Will, I be getting' dressed". Elizabeth looked at Jack for a second smiling and he gave her thumbs up meaning that she told a good lie. Will chuckled and said "When you're done, I need to talk to you about something". Elizabeth then repeated scared "Ye need to talk to me about something"?

Will replied confused "Yes, that is what I just said, isn't it"? Elizabeth then led Jack to the closet and whispered, "Ye wait here…." Jack put a finger to her lips and said "One more thing…" Elizabeth stressed out enough asked as calmly as she could "Aye"? Jack then grabbed her head and kissed her once more. Once he let go of her he closed the door of the closet while whispering, "That was all".

Elizabeth chuckled and then went towards the door and opened it. She fixed her hair and asked Will "Now, what service can I provide ye"? Will walked into the room and dropped the gun on the desk in the cabin while saying "I found it in the hall, I don't know what it could have been doing there". Elizabeth opened the door for Will as she said desperately "Now that ye have returned the gun at the end of yer disposal, it is time for yer removal…. so off ye are".

Will shook his head and closed the door once again and said while chuckling "No, I need to talk to you about something else". Elizabeth nodded disappointed and then glanced at the closet for a second and then back at Will. She pointed to Will to sit on her bed, and once he did he continued "I need to talk to you about…Jack". Once Will finished his sentence Elizabeth's eyes went wide and even Jack's eyes went wide. He peeked through a little tiny hole in the door of the closet while whispering "What about me"?
