(Interceptor)
(Deck)
(Elizabeth ran up the stairs on to the deck)
(she looked behind her and noticed Jack wasn't there)
(her hand fell on her sword)
(she took it out and looked around)
Will: Elizabeth
(he called to her as he boarded the interceptor)
(she spun around and saw Will)
(she smiled and then noticed Clara who was still unconcious)
(she ran up to him dropping her sword)
Elizabeth: Will
(Will headed over to her and then stopped in the middle of the deck)
(he fell to his knees and carefully laid her on the deck)
(Elizabeth looked at Clara's pale face and looked at Will)
Elizabeth: What happened??
(he sighed)
Will: I'll let you guess
(he told her as the smell of rum from her breath tickled his and Elizabeth's face)
Elizabeth: Rum
(she smiled)
(Jack came up the stairs and looked around deck seeing Elizabeth and Will sitting on deck over the body of someone)
(he sighed remembering he left Clara alone)
(he headed toward them making no effort to walk carefully)
(Elizabeth heard his boats and spun around to see him walking straight toward them)
(he had a sort of pained look on his face which she had only ever seen a few times)
(he approached them and got down on his knees and exaimed his sister)
(he sighed when he smelt the rum on her breath)
(Will looked at Jack wondering what to do with Clara)
Will: Jack?
(Jack turned his attention from her and looked at Will)
Jack: Aye
Will: Is she going to be ok?
Jack: She should be fine, bit too much rum i imagine
Elizabeth: Must run in the family
(she muttered)
(Jack ignored her as she smirked)
Jack: Take her to me cabin and lay her on the bed
(he told Will)
(Will nodded and rose to his feet)
(he lifted Clara in his arms and took her to Jack's cabin)
(Jack got up and sighed and headed toward the helm Elizabeth's words echoing in his mind)
(Elizabeth looked at him)
Elizabeth: Something is troubling him
(she thought to herself)
(Jack looked out at Port Royal watching the people below drink and party and gossip with one another)
(Elizabeth silently rose and headed toward the helm)
(he stood silently his hand fell to his side and rested on his compass)
(he pulled it out of his pocket and looked at the black hard covering)
(he ran his fingers against the wooden cover not daring to open it again)
(Elizabeth approached him and looked at him and couldn't help but notice he was holding his compass with a pained look on his face as he ran his fingers along its cover)
(She hated the compass it caused her nothing but pain and almost cost her losing the man she loved, but then again it had shown her what she wanted the most, now she was torn because of it but she had made up her mind and was determined to stick to it)
(she stood behind him and placed her hand carefully on his shoulder)
(he didnt move or turn to her he just continued staring out to Port Royal lost in deep thought)
(Elizabeths words were swarming around his head)
Jack: It runs in the family??
(he thought to himself)
Jack: Was he a failure to her? Was he completely unable to care for himself? Was he not capable of doing things that were smart?
(he blamed himself for what happened with Clara he was supposed to be watching out for her)
(he was lost in thoughts he was seeing things in a new light)
Jack: Why didn't i see this before? She had always thought of me like this and had told me but i never listened.
(he sighed)
Jack: No wonder she loves the whelp so much he is so far from me
Jack: Why do i care what she thinks anyway??
(he knew why but he didnt want to admit it)
(the thoughts were toying with him and the truth keep on entering his mind no matter how far he pushed it back)
Jack: I'm a pirate, i am destined to be alone, i'm not meant for love
(he sighed to himself and turned to her he knew what to do)
