That little...my fiancee...my Will, not hers.

She was gazing up at him over the top of her glass. Ugh! She makes me so sick. I can't even stand to look at her. I'm the goddess! How dare she even think she could compare to...

What..

Is Will looking at her?

We were sitting in the dining room in the Empress, which I had completely redone. Since the Empress was Oriental themed, I kept this room like that too. What? I may be a pirate, but I'm still a girl. It was actually very pretty now.

Grant and my father were sitting at each end of the long table, Jack and Will were on either side of me, and Sara and Boostrap were across from us. Oh, can't forget my dear mother who was sitting beside my father. Can you say uncomfortable?

I can.

In two different languages, actually.

I mean, this was very uncomfortable. I am the outcome of my mother cheating on my father. Do you know how weird that is? Oh, but not as weird as it will be when their is a murder. Grant apparently noticed my change in attitude as I glared at Sara (who was still gazing...GAZING...at Will over the top of her damn wine glass that she was just holding there as if it was seducing or something) , since he said, "Elle, darling, are you alright?"

I didn't answer as I lifted my fork up, seriously wanting to kill her at that moment. See, because she's not a goddess, stabbing her would kill her. Ok, it would kill me too if you stabbed me directly in the heart, but I could stab Sara anywhere and it wouldn't matter. Jack noticed that I was twirling the fork around in my hand, and placed his hand on mine as he whispered in my ear, "You think that that is the best idea in the world, love?"

"Of course, Jackie." Grant was still staring at me. So, putting on my best smile, I looked up at him and said, "What did you ask me, Grant? I'm sorry, I didn't hear you." Jack and Bootstrap exchanged glances as Grant said again, "I asked if you were alright, love. You're acting...different." He said different in a weird tone as Jack tossed the fork that I'd been clenching to the table causing it to stab that table and stick out from it. Playing like I didn't notice it, I said in a sweet voice to Grant, "I'm fine." I turned to glare at Sara again and said, "Absolutley peachy."

Grant could tell that I wasn't. When I was little, and away from my father, Grant had become a second father to me. And he could read my just about as well as Jack could. And that's saying something. But no one could read me as well as Will who was now staring at me with that 'we need to talk look'.

Oh, can my night get any worse?

Sorry, Will darling, but I don't want to talk right now. But I knew good and well that he was going to make me at some point.

Yay.

I can't seem to contain my supreme excitement.

"Darlin', I do think that the bird is dead." Jack said, looking down at the turkey that I had apparently chopped into little pieces as I was thinking all of this. Will was still looking at me, but now his 'we need to talk' look had changed to a 'we need to talk right now'.

Goodness, this is getting to be like the Caplyso-Maelstrom-Davy trianlgle...oh my goodness...

It's a bloody family pattern!!

Will sighed when he saw my expression, and rested his own glass down as he said to the table, "Would you excuse us for a moment?" I was still in absolute horror when I felt Will take my arm and pull me up out of my chair. I saw Sara wink at him, so I turned around. Will put a hand on either waist and pulled me out of the room. That's how much I was trying to get away. "Elle, honestly, darling." He said once we got back on to the top deck.

"Did you not see the way she looked at you?" I screamed at him, glancing back down the stairs. As I thought, everyone down there was staring up at us. They kept staring, until Will walked up behind me and gave them a look. Taking my hand once more, he led me to the other side of the Empress.

"Darling, I know you're upset, but-"

"-dam right I'm upset! I mean, you are my fiancee! And not damn wench is going to- what on earth are you laughing at?" I asked him, raising an eyebrow (since he had taught me how to do so last summer). He stopped laughing, and said, "I'm sorry, Ellie. You're just so cute when you get upset."

"Well, excuse me if I don't find this amusing." I mumbled as I leaned against the railing and looked down at the sea. The moon was reflecting in the water, and I could see Will come and stand beside me. In the moon's light, his blonde sun-kissed strands that ran thru his dark ringlets shown a dark blue in the the light of the moon, and his scar on his chest glowed white. He rested an hand on the small of my back and whispered in my ear, as he rested his head on my shoulder, "Darling, you act as if you're going to lose me."

I didn't reply, so he looked out at our reflection, with his head on my shoulder still, he said, "You're never going to lose me, Ellie."
How could you be so sure, Will? I'm sure my mother said that to my father, and look what happened there! I think looking at me, you can totally see what happened there. Wait, am I saying that I don't trust will? No, of course I love Will.

But that doesn't mean that you trust him.

Yes it does. I love and trust Will with all of my heart.

But Sara is pretty...

"You're not having second thoughts, are you?" Will asked a minute later, turning me around to face him. He had a look of hurt in his eyes. I smiled reassuringly at him and said, "Love, of course not. I love you. And I'm not having...wait, you're not are you?"

"No."

"Than, I'm not either."

He wrinkled his nose and said, "Darling, are you just saying that because I said that I'm not having second thoughts? Because what if I said that I was having second thoughts?"

"But you said you weren't!!!"

"I'm not! But what if I said I were, what would you have said?"

"Um..."

"Elle!"

"What?"

"You just said no because I said no." He ran his fingers thru his hair as was his custom when he was frustrated. Funny, the majority of the times that I saw him do that was when he was with me... "Darling, I'm sorry. I guess...I mean, we really just need to get married." He said that sentence with a laugh, causing me to smile as I said, leaning against him, "But we've got to do it properly."

"Do what properly?" He asked me with a smirk as I leaned in and closed the remaining space that was between our lips.

---------------------------------

"Ah, Singapore." Jack said with a sigh the next morning as we pulled into the port. "Land of tight corsets..." He said that with a smirk to me. Rolling my eyes, I brushed past him and asked, "Yes, but Fang didn't win all the fights, now did he?"

Jack smirked, tossing me a sword, and said, "No, Your Highness. Not when it comes to cannonballs, and people that can turn you to stone." I couldn't help but hear the amusement in his voice as he said that. I looked over at him and smiled. We had been 'left behind' on the Pearl. The others had went ahead, thanks to my oversleeping. Jack elected to stay behind with me, which surprised me that Will actually went for that...Sara...oh...my...

"So, darlin'." Jack said, in a different tone of voice. Almost, a reluctant tone. "How are you and Will?"

Sparow knows something. I glanced over at him as we made it to the long boat. He put his hands on my waist and gently put me over into the boat. Climbing in after me, and lowering us, he said in a quiet voice, "Sorry, darlin'. I didn't mean to-"

"No, it's fine, Jack." I said when he turned to look at me. We finally hit the water, and after a moment of dead silence, I said to him, "I just- I mean, what made you ask that?" I looked up into his tanned, handsome face. He nervously chewed his lip, before turning to me and smiling that now famous smile.

"Love, I was just wonderin' is all. Don't worry."

"What made you ask?" I asked him again, wanting him to answer. He began to row, and sent a smile over in my direction as he said,
"Damn, Elle. You are truly Calypso's daughter-" Having no clue what the hell he meant by this, I waited for him to continue. "- you just seemed different last night at dinner, love. That's all. And Will asked you to leave, you've just been actin' differently. Everything's ok?"

I smiled up at him. Sometimes, I thought that he was just a tad bit too overprotective of me. Smiling, I said to him, "Darling, I'm fine. Just...worn out is all..." Nice choice of words, Michelle. I glanced out as we neared the port that Will and the others had made it to long before we did. Jack's gaze locked on mine when I turned. "Honestly, Sparrow! I'm fine!" I said with a laugh.

Smiling himself, he said to me as we got to the docks, "I just want to make sure that my Ellie's alright is all, love. That's all." I leaned over and kissed his cheek. He smiled as I said, "Don't worry. As long as I have you, I'm fine."

I broke away to see Will standing behind him with a strange look on his face. He quickly forced a smile and said, "Are you two ready?" I saw Jack's face fall when he heard Will's voice. Jack looked at me, and I shrugged it off as I whispered, "He knows I didn't mean it like-"

Will's gaze turned murderous.

Oh, amazing. I'm just- Goodness, I completely hate myself sometimes.

"Will, it wasn't- you don't think that I- William Turner! I didn't not!"

"I didn't say you did." Will said, offering me a hand. Taking it, Will whispered, "Although, that's what it looked like."

Will just stared at me for a minute, and turned away from me like he couldn't stand to look at me. I felt tears start to form in my eyes, and the look on Jack's face honestly made it worse. I blinked them away, and when that didn't work, I wiped them with my hand, ignoring the kohl smears that were now on my hands. Why? Why me? I yelled at the poor thing just a few hours ago for looking at my cousin, now I'm practially kissing his best friend in a long boat! Abeit on the cheek, but still! What kind of person am I?

A pirate.

A backstabber.

A princess that mostly aways gets her way.

Stubborn.

Easily made jealous and angry.

Did I mention that...yes. I did.

I am going straight to hell.

Jack looked over at me, wanting to say something when Will walked ahead of us, but I just raised my hand up to stop him and whispered, "Don't worry about it, Jack. Will's just a little tense is all." Jack leaned closer to me and whispered, "Darlin', not meaning to be rude, but that seemed a little more that 'just a little tense'."

My gaze followed Jack's, and landed on Will who was walking up to the other docks to meet Grant, my father, Bootstrap, my mother (uncomforable situation number 2) and Sara who shall be dead in a matter of hours. But, you know, right now, I think I'm just as prime contestant for death as she is.

She smirked when Will came to stand beside me. What the hell is he trying to do? Make me jealous? I narrowed my eyes at him, and continued to stand beside Jack as Grant said, "Alright, the only clue was is that it's somewhere in Singapore. So, we'll split up into groups of two and look for -"

"I'm going with Jack." I said, not daring to look at Will, though I really wanted to see it. Grant and Bootstrap exchanged glances as Will said, "And I'll go with Sara." That time, Will's gaze did lock with mine. I narrowed my eyes in his direction as Grant mumbled under his breath, "Might as well, send Tia with Davy."

Funny thing is, that's exactly how it happened. Bootrap and Grant, Jack and me, Will and Sara and my parents. Seriously, I think that I have done something to get punished. What have I done to deserve this...

Don't answer that.

Oh, goodness! I fill completely awful. What the hell have I done? Jack was silent as we walked thru Singapore, asking around. I think he knew more than anything why I did what I had done. When we made it to a small pub later that night, we walked in and took a break from the long hours that we had been searching for this damn map.

I sat down on the bar stool in a huff, not even listening to what Jack said to the bartender. Jack eyed some weird old pirate that was looking at me funny. All Jack had to do was glare at him, and the scruffy man turned back around without another glance.

"Why did you do that?" Jack asked, when the man placed our rum glasses down. Jack knew clear and well that I was trying to not drink any more rum...oh, for heaven's sake. I'm in bloody Singapore! I took the glass and downed a lot of it before looking into his dark eyes and saying, "I think that you know why I did that, Jack. You just want to hear me say it."

Jack raised an eyebrow, hmm...I wonder if Will taught him to do that too, and said with a playful gleam in his eyes, "Oh, come now, darlin'. You say that I know the reason you did that-" He raised the glass to his lips, and said after he rested it back down, "-maybe I thought you had different intentions."

"You're digusting." I said, smiling as I made designs on the frosty glass. Jack allowed a chucke to escape his lips as he said in a mumble, clearly on the verge of becoming drunk, "Ah yes. But ye find particulartly attactive."

I looked over at him to see that he was gazing at me. Admitting that I was extremely drunk, I'll say at that moment, I didn't really care. I smiled over at him and said, "Maybe I do, Captain Sparrow."

"Jack..." I smiled at him as he leaned over and kissed me. I could feel him smile against my lips as he whispered in a caring, loving voice, "Love, when I get back from Port Royal, and after this bloody curse is over with, it'll just be you, me and The Pearl."

"And that's all you need." I said as he leaned down to kiss me again.

"Love..." He whispered. Not in a seductive way like it had been earlier, but in a 'goodness, what the hell are we doing' way. I pulled myself back from his lips so fast you would have thought that lightning had struck me. He had his eyes closed as if he was unsure what he was going to say. He looked disappointed...in me probably...and something else I couldn't place.

"Oh...my..." Putting my hand back down into my lap, where it had been before I raised it to my mouth in shock. "Jack, I...don't..."
Nice, Elle. You just cheated on your fiancee (almost...it was only a short kiss) with your ex-fiancee.

Oh, left the fiancee part out of the last story, didn't we?

Well, I suppose that's what you get for letting someone else narrarate your own story. Yes, Jack and I were engaged. We never got married, though, because he went back out to sea while I left for Spain. After my father 'disappeared', I left piracy and spent my time going from Spain to London as your usual rich princess.

When we met each other again, all the 'love love' (as Jack puts it) was gone. But now, I didn't know what to...

"Love, Ellie, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-" Jack stopped and looked up at me. He looked genuinely upset. I tried to smile at him, but feelign the tears roll down my cheek, I know my smile came out awful.

'Jack, I know. I'm sorry too. I don't what came over me."

Jack smiled and glanced down at my empty rum glasses. I turned to see that somehow I had drank about four. He smiled up at me and said, "I think I know, love."

I smiled too, as he said, "Come on. We'd better get out of here before we do anything else we'll regret later, aye?"

"Aye..yi yi..." I glanced past Jack and felt like dying. I honestly did. My heart stopped beating. Jack tossed a coin on the bar and looked up at my expression. His face immediatley changed as he said in a completely different voice, "Darlin', what?"

He followed my gaze to see Sara standing in the door way of the pub with a big smile on her face. She didn't walk closer, but said in a cheery voice, "How will Will like to hear this?" And in a matter of minutes, she was gone and running into the steamy streats of Singapore.

"Damn it." I muttered as I crashed back into the bar stool.

I didn't mean to kiss Jack! I was drunk...

And I knew that Sara was going to leave that very important detail out when she told Will.
