The Moment Of Truth
Chapter 10: The Moment Of Truth
A/N: Okay so it’s showtime…Elizabeth addresses the Brethren Council. Please read and review!
Disclaimer: Still not the owner of POTC and still don’t get paid for my stories.
Princess of the Pearl: Glad you are liking the story so far…yes this is one of my darker ones.
Addicted_to_Jack: Thank you for the review…glad you like it so far.
Sparrowlover: Well Elizabeth just might be able to convince Jack to spare Will. Glad you are enjoying the story as well.
Elizabeth tugged on her black corset suddenly feeling like she couldn’t breathe. Jack noticed her fidgety behavior and came to stand behind her resting his chin on her shoulder as he slipped her arms around her waist. He whispered in a husky voice.
“Relax love…it’ll be over with before ye know it.”
“I can’t relax!”
“Course ye can…just breathe darling.”
“That’s easy for you to say Jack…you’re not condemning your onetime fiancee to the gallows!”
“Neither are ye…I haven’t said how William is going t’ die yet.”
“Oh Jack…be serious! This is hard for me!”
He turned her around so that she was facing him his arms still wrapped loosely around her waist.
“I know it is darling…m’ jus’ trying t’ make ye smile that’s all.”
“Thank you…it was a sweet gesture…in a strange sort of way. Jack…I love you.”
“Yer everything t’ me love…never doubt that.”
She stood on her tiptoes to kiss him her eyes slipping closed. Just as their lips were about to touch Pintel and Ragetti were taking Will off the Pearl to be taken to the Brethren Hall for his trial. Will caught sight of Jack and Elizabeth about to kiss and scowled bitterly. Unable to hold his tongue he yelled out at them.
“Well I see the two of you didn’t waste any time becoming intimate!”
Elizabeth jumped back away from Jack her cheeks reddening at Will’s unexpected outburst. She looked up at Jack with wide tea colored eyes. Jack put a finger to her lips softly as he whispered to her.
“I’ll handle this darling.”
Jack strode over to where Pintel and Ragetti were holding Will in his shackles.
“Morning William…lovely day isn’t it?”
Will spit at Jack hitting his cheek and making Pintel and Ragetti gasp their eyes wide as saucers as they waited to see what their captain would do. Smiling Jack wiped off his cheek with the sleeve of his coat before rearing back and punching Will in the gut making him double over groaning in pain.
“Well it’s certainly a lovely day now. Take this sorry excuse for a man t’ the Brethren Hall before I jus’ shoot him now.”
Pintel and Ragetti nodded quickly as they dragged Will off the deck towards the Brethren Hall. Elizabeth stared at Jack with wide eyes her hands clasped over her mouth as he strode back over to her. Taking her hands away from her face he bent down to place a kiss on her lips stopping just short to whisper to her.
“Now then…where were we?”
Before she could speak he captured her mouth in a scorching kiss slipping his tongue into her mouth. Elizabeth whimpered into his mouth as she felt him pull her into a tight embrace. His hands slid down to grasp her bottom pulling her flush against him as their kiss lingered on. Finally getting dizzy from the lack of oxygen Elizabeth broke the kiss. She looked up at him with wide glassy looking tea colored eyes as she grabbed onto his shoulders to hold herself steady.
“We better get to the Brethren Hall before we’re late.”
“In a hurry t’ condemn dear William are we?”
She shot a glare at him as she turned to head towards the gangplank with him on her heels.
“Not in the least.”
“Oh…sorry.”
“Not you’re not…you meant it…every word.”
He grinned devilishly at her use of his own words. It was true…he had meant every word. Jack took her hand in his making her look up at him a confused look etched onto her pretty face.
“Have I told ye how lovely ye look darling?”
“Now you’re just trying to change the subject with flattery.”
“Is it working?”
“Maybe…a little.”
Smirking Jack squeezed her hand tighter as they walked down the pier towards the Brethren Hall. He knew today was going to be hard on Elizabeth and that’s why he had been trying to make the mood a little lighter by joking around. Jack was a tough man and could handle a lot of things. But one thing he couldn’t handle…or rather didn’t know how to handle…was the sight of Elizabeth in pain. All too soon the enormous fortress of shipwrecks loomed before them. Elizabeth stopped short of the door her eyes wide with fear and her face white as a sheet. Jack noticed that her hand had begun sweating in his. Putting his hands on her shoulders he leaned down to look into her eyes.
“What’s the matter Izzy?”
“Jack…I can’t do this! We have to go back! Take me back to the Pearl?”
“Love…I can’t…ye know that.”
“Please Jack? I’m begging you! Let’s just run away and never come back!”
“Darling ye can’t run away from this…it has t’ be done. Take a deep breath an’ jus’ know that I’ll be right there with ye.”
Taking a few deep breaths Elizabeth finally opened her eyes and nodded when she was ready.
“That’s my girl.”
Jack held her hand as they walked inside Shipwreck Fortress and headed down the long seemingly endless hall towards the Brethren Hall. The huge black doors to the Brethren Hall were pulled open by the two pirates standing guard outside and Jack led Elizabeth into the courtroom.
She squeezed his hand tighter when she caught sight of Will sitting shackled to a chair in the middle of the room surrounded by the Brethren Council. He looked at her with cold dark eyes and she looked away unable to keep his gaze. Jack escorted Elizabeth to their seats and they waited for the Chief Official to arrive. Suddenly the murmurings of the room went silent as they doors to the Brethren Hall flew open loudly. All heads turned to see the Chief Official walking in all dressed in black. Jack’s dark eyes widened in surprise. It was Captain Henry Morgan himself! Well now it was almost certain that Will would be condemned to death. Elizabeth tugged nervously at her corset once more as Captain Henry Morgan took his seat staring down at everyone in the room icily. The time was upon her…it was the moment of truth and she was to decide whether her ex-fiancee was guilty or not. Feeling a nervous fluttering begin at the pit of her stomach she closed her eyes. Not now…she couldn’t get sick or faint her way out of what had to be done. Taking deep slow breaths she closed her eyes trying to calm the churning that had begun in her stomach. The sound of the cannon ball hitting the table made her flinch. Jack squeezed her hand trying to calm her. It was suddenly overwhelmingly hot to her and she could hear her heart as it pounded in her ears. She tried to swallow finding that her throat had gone terribly dry. Elizabeth could feel her heart starting to race as she desperately tried to slow her breathing. The sound of her name echoing through the eerily silent room made her jump.
“Miss Elizabeth Swann…approach the Brethren Council.”
Elizabeth stood on shaky legs as she dropped Jack’s hand to walk past him to the center of the room. She could feel everyone’s eyes as they burned into her. Her heart was pounding so hard it was nearly deafening in her ears. Captain Henry Morgan stared down at her with cold dark eyes as he waited for her to speak. She swallowed again feeling as if she had a mouthful of sand in her mouth. And to make matters worse she had begun to sweat. Beads of sweat rolled down her back as she stood rigidly in front of Captain Henry Morgan.
“Well Miss Swann…have ye forgotten how t’ talk?”
“N-no sir…if I may have a moment?”
“Make it quick Miss Swann…I haven’t got all day t’ waste on yer nonsense.”
She nodded as she tried to collect herself. She needed something to drink and she needed it now. Catching a glass pitcher with water in it with some tin cups next to it she walked slowly over to the small table. Pouring a cup of water she lifted it to her mouth shakily. The water was cold…too cold…but she gulped it down quickly feeling as if she were dying of thirst. After she had gulped down two cups of the water she turned and walked back to where she had been standing. This time Will caught her stare and held it unable to let her look away.
“Are ye ready t’ begin Miss Swann?”
Y-yes Captain Morgan…I…”
Jack’s eyes widened as he saw Elizabeth’s knees start to buckle. Jumping to his feet he hurried over to where she stood. Elizabeth collapsed just as Jack reached out for her catching her in his arms. He scooped her up bridal style as a slew of low gasps reverberated through the Brethren Hall. Henry Morgan frowned down at Jack who flashed him a sheepish grin.
“I have no patience for nonsense at my Council Jack Sparrow! What’s the meaning of this?”
“She’s fainted Captain Morgan.”
“This had better not be some foolish game yer playing Sparrow!”
“No sir…wouldn’t dream of it.”
“Ye had better not…now take her t’ lie down…an’ as soon as she’s conscious this trial will be held! Understood?”
“Perfectly.”
Jack carried Elizabeth out of the Brethren Hall towards the upper levels of Shipwreck Fortress where he knew his old room still was. He hoped that she would wake up soon so that he could calm her down and get her ready to address the Brethren Council. Otherwise Will would simply just be convicted and hanged on the spot without a trial.
