Truth has a funny way of coming out

Hi guys, I'm so sorry it has taken so long but exams have been driving me mad, thank god they are now over. I should be able to publish at least once every couple of days from now till the end. Although I would love to I don't own POTC, however Scarlet is my little extra

He looked different through it had only been a few days since I had seen him last. His eyes usually sparkled but they were now dull brown, he had bags under his eyes from lack of sleep which he didn't bother hiding, his whole attire seemed duller than usually as if someone had washed the colour out of it. This wasn't the Jack Sparrow I had come to know over my time on the Misty Lady, I barely even recognised him.

"Jack?" I asked uncertainly, not even 100% sure now that it was him.

"Yeah it's me," he laughed darkly, "People told me I don't look the same."

"Are you sick?" I asked walking slowly towards him not caring about anything but what was wrong with him at the moment.

"I don't know," he seemed to be shocked that he had actually answered honestly, as was I, if there was one thing Jack could do it was to avoid personal questions.

"Well what bothering you?" I asked trying to get to the root of the problem while he was actually being honest with me.

"I don't know, don't you understand that?" Jack yelled at me, the upset in his voice was more apparent with each word.

I feel silent after that not really knowing how I could respond. For a moment I felt guilty then I remembered how he had lied to me and was gonna leave for his ship, then I didn't feel so guilty anymore. There was an awkward silence that followed the yelling, personally I preferred the yelling at the moment because the silent meant I had to think. Usually the silence between the two of us was comfortable, that was before everything went wrong. Now even being around him felt wrong.

"How did you get down here?" I asked him softly needing to say something to break the silence.

"I don't remember, I thought you would know. Didn't you have something to do with this?" Jack said accusingly.

"I did nothing. I remember someone putting something over my face then I was here. No one has talked to me all day," I snapped back having enough of his attitude towards me, "Have I done anything wrong to you before to deserve this treatment?"

"I don't know maybe have a go in front of crew," Jack said getting up and walking towards me.

"How about you don't lie to me?" I answered back, getting more and more annoyed by the second.

"I never lied," Jack said, he was over a step away from me now.

"You didn't tell you. You're just gonna leave. Go and have all those adventures where would that leave me?" I yelled finally getting it all out.

"I would never leave you Scarlet," he yelled back moving the last tiny gap between us, yet still felt the need to yell as if he was the other side of the ship.

"Didn't seem like that to me," I yelled back feeling my voice begin to give.

"Dammit Scarlet I would never leave you. I love you."

The air went still as what Jack just said sunk in. He loved me. It didn't seem real inside my head. Jack face turned into one of shock as he realised what words had just come out of his mouth. The silence echoed around us.

The shock expressed on Jack face slowly faded to the blank look he got when he didn't wanna give too much away. He backed away from me slowly as if I had the plague and moved backwards to sit in the corner of the room, it was dark. The shadows danced across his face.

"Why didn't you tell me about your ship before?" I said softly, moving forward slowly knowing that if I moved to quickly I would probably scare him off.

"I was afraid you would say no to coming with me," he said quietly, I had never seen him so vulnerable before since I met him.

"I can never say no to you Jack Sparrow," I said as I moved the few steps to reach him, sinking to my knees so I was eye line with him, "I love you Jack," I brought my hand up slowly towards his cheek, still afraid that he would turn me down. He closed his eyes and turned his head towards my palm.

I moved forward, closed my eyes and kissed him. It started slowly, nervously as if we were learning each other again. After a few moments we quickly picked up passion. His arm wrapped around my body pulling me closer, my heartbeat was racing and my head was beginning to feel faint due to the lack of oxygen.

It seemed like forever, but in reality it was probably only a few minutes before we pulled apart. He put his forehead against mine, and I closed my eyes again just enjoying the feeling of him close to me, "I am never letting you go Scarlet Jones," Jack promised in a whisper. I felt his breath on my ear as he moved around. He kissed me just below my ear, making me sigh, "When we get back to my ship. We will be together forever Scarlet. We can live together and be happy," as Jack continued to whisper his plans for the future in my ear I could see them forming before my eyes. I could see a future where I was loved and wanted and happier than ever before. Jack could offer me all that, I never wanted to part from him again.

As he moved back round to face me I felt a shiver run up my shine. I jumped up away from Jack and sprinted towards the door, "Open the door, god please," I screamed, slamming my hand against the wooden door trying to break it down.

Jack walked up behind me and turned me around to face him, "Scarlet what is it?"

"Hurricane," I managed to say before turning around and hitting the door a little harder than before. Jack joined next to me, both of us screaming.

The door opened and my hand nearly connected with Bootstraps face, "What is it?" he said looking between the two of us, I could tell we both didn't look great, half due to the kiss and the other half due to trying to hit the door down.

I ran past Bootstrap leaving Jack to explain to him. When I reached the deck I looked into the night sky, in front of us was a terrible yet beautiful sight to behold, the water itself was rising up into the air and spinning around. The light from the moon made it look monstrous. The strange glow to it, if I believed in the super natural I would have said it was Poseidon coming to get us.

"It's a hurricane," I screamed walking backward slightly away from the bow and turning to face the crew.

Everyone on deck seemed to pause for a moment, before coming back to life in a panic fashion. Everyone was running around, trying to do something to stop the oncoming danger. I pushed my way passed people trying to catch sight of Jack anywhere. I caught sight of dreadlocks out of the corner of my left eye. I turned to face him, at the same time catching sight of the giant wave riding up behind him. I sprinted forward and pushed Jack into the space under the stairs to avoid him getting hit taking the full force of the wave myself. It flung me backwards sending me staggering into the railing. The crew pushed and pulled me I felt my balance leave me as I was pushed hard, my back bent over the railing before I flipped over the edge into the cold ocean below.

I could hear shouts above me. I could hear Jack yelling my name, but the hurricane was upon the ship. I felt the water rising, and looked up to the rail. The last face I saw was Jack's before the ocean pulled me down into the darkness below.

Thank for you reading sorry it took so long. Please review.

Until next time,
