Authors note READ! Helps explain a few things: this story starts towards the end of DMC when Lizzie and Jack almost kiss…it also involves some of the deleted scenes from the first movie, if you haven't seen these, I suggest that you do because they show a) a more tender and considerate side to Jack, a look at his real intentions and b) more sexual tension between Elizabeth and Jack yay yay yay! Although I feel for will…only a little though!…which explains a lot in DMC. Any who. Yes, that scene is changed a little, mainly due to my bad memory, otherwise it would more or less be the same, cept a change in actions…any who. I tried to stick to it as much as my memory allows, and I tried to keep the two in character…but it is so hard, so forgive me in advance that the characters…well…get out of character! Sorry!

DISCLAIMER: I, as unfortunate as it is, own none of these marvellous characters…and what a pity that Jack is really just a character…the things I'd do to him if he were real…ahem. Any way, a little freaky mouse owns these characters, though he doesn't deserve to, and as such, I am just left to my never dying, unconditional love of POTC and Jack Sparrow, sorry Captain Jack Sparrow, and my strange obsession! Right. On with the story

P.S please review. If you don't like J and E pairing, get used to it, because they are a pair…can you not see the chemistry? Hmm? Any way, if you don't like J and E pairing don't read, because you won't like it. Any way. Constructive criticisms always welcome and wanted, and please tell me that you love it! Sorry, no, be truthful, I suck at writing, but please, feel free to ignore bad writing and enjoy the story line! And tell me how to improve! Muchly appreciated, yours truly WMR

Chapter 3: Davy be Damned!

Elizabeth stood stunned near Jacks bed in his cabin. She had just been wallowing in her own misery at yet again, not being kissed by Jack when he came marching towards her, pulled her up and kissed her. It wasn't exactly the way she had seen it going, she thought about something more romantic, suspenseful….but she wasn't going to argue. For a first kiss it was nothing special but it was something and that was all that mattered to her.

It took her a moment to realize what Jack had said to her. Stay in the cabin? And not have a part in trying to save her beloved's beloveded Pearl? Over her dead body. She decided that she would leave that, for she may very well end up dead. Elizabeth quickly searched Jacks cabin for a weapon, a weapon of any kind or sort. Finally she noted a locker on the far side of the room and rushed over to it. Opening it, luckily it wasn't locked Jack wasn't very fond of locks, she found inside a sword and a pistol. Taking them both she tied the sword to her sash around her waist, and tucked the pistol in on the otherside.

"right" she said and took a deep breath left the Cabin.

Jack was behind the helm now, trying desperately to steer his beloved ship out of harms way. Elizabeth looked past him and saw that the Flying Dutchman was gaining on them quickly. Gibbs was next to Jack asking for orders on the next course of action. Elizabeth decided to stay out of sight, lest Jack see her and order her back in the cabin. She quickly dashed towards the stairs and hide underneath them.

"Out of sight out of mind" she said to herself.

There was a moment of quiet suspence. Where it seemed that the world went silent, not a sound was heard, not even the waves against the ship. Elizabeth held her breath in expectation, her body tense against a blow that never came.

And then.

An all might boom! Splinters from the ship went flying in all directions, as a cannon ball from the Dutchman made contact with the Black Pearl. Elizabeth heard the guns of the Pearl fire in retaleation, but couldn't hear if they impacted or not. She suddenly felt scared, maybe she could go and hide in the Captains quarters like Jack had ordered her too.

No.

She must not. She most be brave and help to save this ship. For now it was a part of her, it was her home. She had no where else to go to, not even to Will, not after the adultery she had committed.

The Pearl continued to come under attack. The noise of the cannon balls, and the damage that they wreaked was defeaning. Elizabeth for now was safe where she hide, although she had been covered with the splintered remains of part of the railing. Jack, The monkey had decided to stay with Elizabeth for some unknown reason, and although it scared her, she was more than happy to share her hiding place, for the monkey gave her a strange comfort. She smiled slightly as she thought about all the times that Jack had shot it out of simple need to shoot something.

Jack winced as every cannon ball hit it's intended target. He thought sourly to himself that there would be nothing left for the Kraken to destroy if Davy kept on like that. Jack ducked instinctively as a cannon ball hearled over his head and hit the mast directly in front of him, though it was lucky that the line of fire was slightly off, for it only grazed the mast and went on to wreak damage further down the deck.

"Stop blowing holes in me bleeding ship!" he muttered to himself.

Jack looked back towards the Dutchman, who was thankfully loosing speed, and falling behind. Or so he thought. Jack gained a small feeling of victory, and smiled to himself. He resisted the childish urge to turn around and stick his tounge out at the crew of The Dutchman who were still jeering at Jack. His own crew were already celebrating a victory. They had all been tense in the expectation that they would have to fight, sword to sword battle with these strange sea creatures. Jack decided not to chide them but did yell at them to get back to work, the battle wasn't over yet.

The bombardments from the Flying Dutchman were becoming fewer and far between. Elizabeth decided that she could come out of her hiding place to gain a quick idea of what was going on. After a moments deliberation she decided that she'd go back into his cabin and have a look through the back window to see what the Dutchman was doing. Jack the monkey still clung to her shoulder as she crept back towards the captains cabin. Once inside she quickly went to the window, and peered outside. The Dutchman was falling behind, their cannon balls falling short of the back of the Pearl.

Elizabeth gave a short cheer, and realizing that no hand in hand battle was to be done quickly released herself of her weapons and tried to re-organise the locker to look like it hadn't been disturbed.

However she wasn't quick enough. She heard movement at the door and childishly paniced.

Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Jack opened the door just in time to see Elizabeth leap back from the locker and stand there trying her best to look innocent. He just smiled.

"I half expected ye to be disobeying me any way!"

Elizabeth gave a sheepish smile.

"it was un-reasonable to expect that I would sit here and twiddle my thumbs" she smiled again. Jack came towards her and quickly swept her up in his arms in a tight embrace.

"now where were we?" he asked lightly

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

She leaned forward and parted her lips…which were quickly meet with Jacks own. It was fleeting, light, yet passionate. It sent waves of heat through her body and her knees felt like they could no longer hold her up.

Jack had one hand cupping her check an the other was tightly around her waist as if holding her up, for which she was greatly appreciative of. Elizabeths own arms were around his neck as if in desperation, to never let him go.

It didn't take long for the kisses to turn from short and light, to deep and passionate. They couldn't get enough of each other, it became harder, more despearate as if it were only to last a second, before it would all go astray before it would disappear.

Elizabeth and Jack were slowly making there way towards the large bed when the ship suddenly lurched violently. The pulled apart quickly and listened. There were screams coming from outside the cabin, and gun shots being fired. Jack desperately looked at Elizabeth who was looking at the door intently, as if to keep it shut from the world by mere force of will. Jack's face was wroght with confusion and indecision. Finally he cursed under his breath.
