THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MY REVIEWERS! YOU GUYS MAKE MY DAY EVERY TIME I RECEIVE ONE! HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER ! HOPE YOU ENJOY IT!
Will stopped instantly, seeing a shadow moving in the darkness by the Swann's home. He was passing by going to a pub like he usually went nowadays. He quickly sprinted across, following the figure. It looked like the person was heading towards the beach near the mansion. A sudden anger rose over him realizing who it was.
When he was finally close enough to the figure he yanked her around and pulled off her hood. "You think I wouldn't notice this coat, Elizabeth?" he told her.
Elizabeth shrieked as she stared at him. She trembled in disbelief as her eyes started to water. Her mind was spinning and millions of thoughts rushed through her head. The pressure on her arm was an indication that he was real or just an angry spirit. "W-W-Will, how?"
"How long did you mourn for me until you ran into the arms of another man?" he growled.
Elizabeth shook her head. "What other man?" she whispered. "I've always loved you," she said, leaning in trying to kiss him, but he pushed her back almost making her fall."
"You are worse than I ever imagine. It's like I don't even know you," he said, running his fingers through his hair.
"Who told you? Katie?" asked Elizabeth.
"Told me about the affair with that pirate Sparrow or the fact that you married James Norrington?" hissed Will, making her jump.
"I-I never had an affair with Jack," she stuttered.
Will laughed a fake laugh. "You expect me to believe you. You even know his name. Why should I believe you? You already betrayed me and our love. You said you would wait for me."
"I did wait! I waited and waited and cried until I couldn't cry anymore! I loved you, Will! You didn't even write or anything telling me that you were alive," she sobbed.
Will sighed looking at her. How he wished he could take her in his arms and love her again. "Elizabeth, if you still love me, then run away with me," he said.
Elizabeth's eyes widened. "Run away with you? That's insane!"
Will glared at her. "Why is that insane? You said it yourself that people would do anything for love. Why can't you leave with me?" he asked.
"Because James will sail across the seven seas looking for me," she said. "I can't."
"People in love with risk anything even their lives to be with that person," he snapped. "Why did you marry him in the first place, Elizabeth? You never had any interest in him what-so-ever," said Will. Elizabeth stayed quite. "Is it because of his money?" asked Will, cocking his head back. "His title?"
Elizabeth pressed her palms together. "Will, you have to understand..."
"Understand what? That you were lying to me while were together. All those times you told me that you would marry me was lie!" he yelled.
"Will you have to understand that I come a rich family... a-a high social rank. I can't marry you. I needed a man with a good last name who was in the same social class as me," she said. "Please understand..."
"No, I can't. I can't believe I ever fell in love with you because you don't look as innocent as you appear to be," he said before walking away, leaving Elizabeth in total shock and disbelief. She had lost the two men she has ever loved because of her greed.
The Next Day
Abigail gasped and turned around when she felt someone grab her arm."Will!" she said startled. "What are you doing here?" she asked, clutching her basket tighter.
"I see you're shopping," he said.
Abigail nodded. "We ran out of food in the house," she said.
"Of course," Will said, nervously.
Abigail sighed. "Is there something the matter, Will?" He silently nodded. "Do you wanna talk about?" she asked. Again he nodded. Abigail smiled and grabbed her arm. "Let's go, then."
"Where are we going?" he asked.
Abigail smiled. "Remember where we used to play when we were younger?" she said. Will nodded, smiling a bit. They walked in silence through the rowdy streets of Port Royal. They then made their way through the woods, going to their secluded spot. It wasn't much. It looked like any other lot, but since both were little they have discovered many wonders to the imagination in that spot.
Abigail smiled back at Will as they reached the place. She placed the basket down and sat down next to it, followed by W/ill. "It looks untouched," he said.
"Yeah, I haven't been here for a while," said Abigail. The last time they were here together was before Will secretly started seeing Elizabeth. "What did you want to talk about?"
Will sighed laying back on the ground. "I talked to her," he said quietly.
Abigail laid down next to him on her side, facing him. "What did she say?" she asked, gently.
Will laughed. "Every lie in the book, but I almost fell for it," he said.
"It's understandable. You loved her," said Abigail.
Will sighed. "I did," he said. "God knows the pain I have right now," he said angrily, punching the ground with his fist. Abigail closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I've been going to pubs, you know?"
Abigail sat up straight looking at him in disgust. "Will! How could you go to a place like that? It's disgusting! Filled with drunks and whores. I never thought you were like that."
"I needed to escape my mind off this, but while there I joined someone's crew," he said.
Abigail stopped. She almost already knew who's crew he was talking about. "Who's crew?"
"That Sparrow man," he growled.
Abigail shook her head. "Why? Do you want to kill him?!"
"It's crossed my mind," he simply said.
"But you can't kill him!" said Abigail.
Will glared at her. "Why not?" he growled.
"B-Because.... Because he's going to marry Katie," she whispered.
"What?!" he yelled sitting up. "How could Katie marry someone like him?"
"It's just that Norrington misheard that Jack was having an affair with one of the governor's daughter and he thought it was Katie. He was forcing her to marry Lt. Gillette, but she said she wanted to marry Jack instead," she explained.
"And Jack accepted I assume," he said, rubbing his chin. "No wonder he was celebrating last night," he mumbled. "Well, this gives me a bigger reason to join his crew. Now I can keep a better watch on her. I don't trust that man."
"Neither do I," said Abigail.
"Is Katie taking you with her after she's married?" he asked.
Abigail smiled. "Yeah, she told me yesterday. She even said that she wanted me to be her bride's maid. Isn't that crazy?" she laughed.
Will shook his head. "No, it's not. I think you'll look real pretty in one of those fancy dresses," he said, grinning. Abigail blushed looking down. Will gently lifted her chin up, forcing her to look at him. Abigail's breath was taken away as Will crept closer to her. She gasped as he gently pressed his lips against her, cupping her head. He took that opportunity and kissed her deeper.
Abigail's head was spinning from the kiss, but she managed to kiss him back. She felt his hand on her waist, making her want him more. She had prayed for this moment for so long that it felt too good to be true. Abigail gently pushed Will back and looked at him. They both had bruised lips and were panting.
"Abby," he whispered, pushing her hair back.
"I'm sorry, Will," she said, picking up her basket as she got up. She quickly ran away towards the mansion, leaving Will in shock. He couldn't believe that he had just kissed his friend for many years. He had never felt feeling for Abigail except friendship. His love for Elizabeth has blinded every woman that he had contact with.
Will groaned as he laid back down, staring up at the cloudy sky.
Meanwhile
Katherine sat next to her father in the carriage and Jack in front of her. He looked uncomfortable. Maybe it was because of the clothes he was wearing. He surprised her by completely changing his normal attire. He whispered in her ear, before they left the house, that it was only until they got married.
The carriage stopped in front of the church. Weatherby got out first, followed by Jack as he helped Katherine out as well. "Thank you," she said, letting her hand linger with his until she got an unapproved look from her father, making her snatch her hand back.
The three of them walked in silence to Father Francis office. "Ah! Governor," greeted Francis as they walked in.
"Hello, Father," said Weatherby, shaking his hand.
Francis smiled seeing Katherine. "Katie and who's this gentleman?" he asked.
"This is Jack Sparrow," said Katherine, looking back at him. "He's... he's my fiance," she said, surprising Francis. Weatherby sighed and sat down. Katherine ignored him and continued. "We're thinking of getting married by the end of the week," she said.
"End of the week? Why so soon?" asked Francis. "I didn't know you were courting him."
"It's because we have to get out to sea," said Jack on her behalf. "I have a ship and I have to get... working."
Francis nodded. "Well, let me congratulate you," he said, smiling.
"Thank you," said Jack.
"Alright, then," he said. "Let's see what else we have to look at shall we?" he said, sitting down. Katherine through a glance at Jack, who only smiled at her.
Katherine sighed as they came back to the mansion. She was finally relieved they got over that. "Mr. Swann," said the butler. "You have received a letter from Commodore Norrington."
Weatherby nodded. "I'll be in my office," he said, looking at the two couple. "I'll see you around, Captain Sparrow," he said, turning away into his study.
Jack winced when he turned his head seeing Elizabeth sitting on the couch look at them. "Why is Elizabeth staying with you? Shouldn't she be with her husband?" whispered Jack to Katherine irritated to see Elizabeth in the living room, sowing.
"James, recently left to Port Morant for a few days and she decided to stay with us," said Katherine.
Jack brow arched. "I don't know how you can stand her," he said, cupping her face.
Katherine sighed. "She's my sister," she said. Only half, thought Jack. "I wanted to thank you for doing this for me, Jack."
Jack smiled. "Do what for you, Katie? Marry you in a church?" Katherine nodded. "Katie, if you want it, I want it. Besides, I expect you to marry me on me Pearl," he whispered in her ear, making her giggle.
Elizabeth stopped sowing and frowned seeing them act so happy together. She had thought of many things to try and separate them, but nothing worked. She had to think and act fast before it was too late.
"Your ship is very important to you isn't it, Jack?" said Katherine, smiling.
"Me most priced possession," he said proudly. "I'll show you the whole ship, teach you how things work, and we'll sail across the seven seas. I'm sure you'll love it."
Elizabeth huffed in jealousy. He was only suppose to sail with me not her, too, she thought, angrily.
Katherine nodded. "I'd like that," she whispered. Jack leaned down to kiss her, but there was a huff behind them, breaking the two up. Jack groaned seeing Elizabeth, glaring at them.
"Katie, Father said that you shouldn't stay alone with a man," she said, angrily.
"Well, we're not alone now," growled Jack.
"That doesn't mean you can touch and kiss like that, either," snapped Elizabeth back.
"Why don't you go back to your sowing and mind your own business," said Jack.
Elizabeth shook her head. "You wait. The two of you. I will not allow this marriage to happen. I won't!" she huffed as she ran upstairs.
Katherine sighed. "I'm sorry about that."
"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything," he said.
"I know, but..." She was cut off as Abigail burst into the room. Katherine looked at her and noticed she was crying. "Abby? Abby, what's wrong?" she asked, walking towards her.
Abigail shook her head. "Nothing, I-I need to put this away," she said walking swiftly towards the kitchen.
Katherine sighed as she saw her walk away. "What's wrong with her?" she asked herself.
"Maybe she's heartbroken," said Jack, behind her.
"Heartbroken?" repeated Katherine. "By who...? Will!" she hissed.
"Will?" questioned Jack.
"N-Nothing, Jack. It's a long story," she explained.
Jack shrugged. "Alright then, Saint Katherine," he teased, making Katherine roll her eyes. "I'll come by tomorrow," he said, kissing her hand once again. Katherine blushed slightly, wishing he could kiss her again. "Should I leave the kissing for another time or do you think we'll get caught?" he said, smirking.
Katherine gave out a soft laugh. "I don't know," she whispered.
"I'll risk it," he said before claiming her mouth. Katherine sighed into the kiss as she opened her mouth to deepened the kiss. Jack groaned as she boldly chewed on his lips. "God, Katie, you taste so good," he murmured between their lips.
Katherine grinned. "That's good," she said, giggling.
Jack grinned. "Am beginning to question if you are a Saint, Katie."
Elizabeth paced restlessly in her room. Just thinking that Jack is the arms of another woman, her sister, made her sick to her stomach. She gasped as someone opened the door of her balcony and in came Jack.
"Jack!" she said running towards him, but he put out his hand, stopping her from getting closer. "We have to talk."
"Yes, we do," he said.
There was a sudden knock on the door, making Elizabeth nervous. Katherine knocked again. "Lizzie?"
"You see," she hissed. "She's nothing but a snake. That innocent act that she does is a lie! Just leave. I-I'll look for you on your ship tonight."
"It doesn't matter. My crew won't let you near the ship," he said as Katherine's knocks grew louder. "The only thing I came here to tell you not to prevent me to marry your sister because I swear," he said, glaring at her, "that this time I won't forgive you," he said before leaving.
"Jack, Jack," she called, but he was already gone. I will have you, Jack, thought Elizabeth stubbornly. I will!
Katherine secretly watched as Jack walked down from Elizabeth's room. Her blood boiled in her veins, seeing him go. She had never felt this angry before. Something inside her wanted to escape, but couldn't though it hurt her a lot. She felt betrayed, especially by Jack, something that she in her wildest dreams would she have cared for.
Later that evening
Katherine put her book down and glared at Elizabeth as she stepped into her room. She tried to control herself from jumping her. She wouldn't let Elizabeth win. No, not this time and not ever again. "Are you really going to live with Jack on his ship?" asked Elizabeth.
"Yes, I know Jack doesn't like land much since he is a pirate," she responded.
Elizabeth nodded and sat on the bed. "And is he going to take you on a honeymoon?"
"I don't know," she said.
"I don't think James or I will come to the wedding," said Elizabeth with a smirk. "I'm expecting."
Katherine froze. "You are?"
"The bad thing is that I don't know if the baby is James' or Jack's," she said. Katherine bit her lip as she gripped the book tighter. "I just hope you don't go tell Father that. He might die of the shock."
Katherine sighed. "It's not true. You're lying," she said.
Elizabeth shrugged and walked out the room. Katherine saw her walk out and let out a sob. She remember earlier seeing Jack leave Elizabeth's room. Could it be true?
