In Love With Two Men

Chapter 15: Breaking Point

A/N: Okay so here it is…Jack drops Will off in a small town named Keswick Bay, England…which I made up by the way. It’s a small town and has a convent in it. So basically Jack decides to humiliate Will as much as he possibly can by stripping him down to his underwear and parading him through the town until they reach the convent. Then he bribes the nuns with a large sum of money to take Will off his hands. Please read and review!

Jack stood at the helm of the ship next to Gibbs as he inhaled the salty air deeply. The sun had just barely started to break the horizon painting the violet gray sky in a warm shade of pinkish gold. He had risen early that morning since he knew they were close to reaching England. Elizabeth was still sound asleep in their cabin. Titling his head to the side he contemplated that last thought. Their cabin? Just when had he started thinking like that? Shrugging his shoulders he supposed it really didn’t matter as long as he had Elizabeth. His head jerked up as he heard Tobias’s shout from the crow’s nest up above.

“Land ho!”

Smiling Jack exchanged a glance with Gibbs as he saw England looming just in the near distance ahead of them. What a beautiful sight. He never thought he would ever be so happy to see England as he was now. England meant he was free from Will and free to be with Elizabeth. And being with Elizabeth was what he wanted more than anything in the world. Tugging at the braids of his beard he started down the stairs of the wheel deck towards the cabin. Opening the door carefully he slipped inside to find Elizabeth sitting up in the bed stretching.

“Morning darling, sleep well?”

“Oh…good morning Jack, yes I slept wonderfully thank you.”

“Good.”

“We’re here aren’t we?”

“Here?”

“England. Are we in England?”

“Aye love…sailing into the harbor now.”

“What harbor?”

“Not exactly sure…a small town though. Looks quaint enough.”

“So you’re going to leave Will here then?”

“Jus’ like we discussed love…care t’ join me?”

“No…I can’t…I don’t want to see Will.”

“I understand darling…then I’ll only be a little while.”

Striding over to the bed he bent down and captured her lips in a passionate kiss making her breath catch in her throat. Pulling away Jack looked down and smiled when he saw that her cheeks were quite flushed from the kiss. Elizabeth flashed him a timid smile as she watched him start towards the door. Jack tipped his hat quickly to her before leaving her alone in the cabin once more. He headed down below decks to make sure Will was awake. Reaching the brig Jack rattled the bars of the cell making Will jerk awake. He scowled when he saw Jack standing there smirking down at him.

“Rise an’ shine William…time t’ go.”

“Go where?”

“T’ yer new home mate. Ye look bloody awful…have a rough night did ye?”

“You know good and well what the hell happened to me Jack! Don’t pretend you had nothing to do with letting the crew have their way with me!”

“I did not…I did not allow them t’ have their way with ye…I simply allowed them t’ decide what they wanted t’ do.”

“And the difference would be what exactly? You’re still guilty.”

“Guilt…I figure that’s more yer forte mate. M’ not guilty of anything…except falling in love with Elizabeth.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! You don’t love Elizabeth…you’ve never loved her! All you wanted was to bed her! And you have…so why not get rid of her now before she grows more attached to you than she already is?”

“Tell me something William…why would I give up the woman I love? An’ I do love Elizabeth mate…more than me own life.”

“Because you’ll destroy her Jack…you’re not the marrying kind.”

“True enough…I wasn’t the marrying kind. But Elizabeth makes me want all the things that I was running from.”

“Does she? Make you want to be a better man…give up piracy?”

“Never said I would give up piracy for anyone mate…but she does make me want t’ be a better man.”

“Just let her go Jack…it’s what’s best for her.”

“I think Elizabeth can decide what’s best for her. Now…time t’ get ready t’ leave.”

Pintel and Ragetti approached carrying another set of shackles. Ragetti spoke up making Jack glance back over his shoulder at them.

“We got the extra shackles jus’ like ye said sir.”

“Excellent…now then strip him down t’ his knickers an’ shackle his ankles.”

“Aye sir.”

Jack unlocked the brig and Pintel and Ragetti began stripping off Will’s clothing until he stood there in just his underwear glaring at them all.

“I hate you Jack Sparrow!”

“Captain Jack Sparrow lad…let’s not forget me title.”

Will spit on the ground at Jack’s feet as Ragetti secured the shackles around his ankles and placed his clothes in a burlap sack. They escorted him out of the brig and Jack grabbed him by the back of his neck roughly as he lead him up to the main deck.

“M’ going t’ enjoy this boy.”

“And what will Elizabeth think of your little stunt?”

“Nothing…she’s safely tucked away in our cabin.”

“Your cabin? You talk like the two of you are living together now.”

“We are. An’ she decided t’ stay behind while we got rid of ye.”

Will hung his head as he stood on deck with the rest of the crew as they sailed into the small harbor. He shivered from the slight chill that still hung in the early morning air as he stood in his underwear. Once the Pearl was docked at the pier Noah lowered the gangplank for Jack to lead Will down onto it. Pintel, Ragetti, Gibbs, Barbossa and Marty walked down the pier towards the town while the rest of the crew stayed behind to keep an eye on the ship. Jack kept a firm grip on the back of Will’s neck as he pushed him through the narrow streets of the coastal town. It didn’t take long for the people to start coming out of their shops and homes to congregate in the streets as they watched the strange procession. Jack couldn’t help but smile as he listened to the sound of their laughter. At first it started as soft chuckling but soon could be heard as bellowing laughter the deeper they walked into the town. Will could feel his face burning with the intense blush that covered it reaching all the way down to his chest. God he hated Jack Sparrow more than he ever thought he would hate anyone. And that hatred was beginning to feather out towards Elizabeth as well. Just knowing that she loved that backstabbing trickster made his blood boil.

He felt a strange sense of relief when they finally neared the end of the village. But it was soon washed away when his dark eyes fell upon the large red bricked convent that towered in front of him. There was a large iron cross that adorned the front of the building. The large iron doors of the convent swung open and several nuns clad in their dark gray nun’s dresses. Some were old and others were young and beautiful. His eyes fell to the ground as one of the younger and more beautiful nuns looked at him giving him a shy smile. Jack’s voice cut through the silence like a dagger making Will’s eyes jerk up from his feet.

“M’ dear sisters…please take pity upon this pathetic eunich I beg ye! I shall pay a handsome donation t’ yer convent if ye will do me this small…an’ I do mean small…favor.”

Jack cast a snide glance at Will making him scowl bitterly at him. With a wave of his hand Jack signals Pintel and Ragetti who quickly bring a chest filled to the brim with gold and silver coins.

“A chest full of coins…yers if ye take this eunich…seems a more than bloody fair deal I say. What say ye sisters?”

The oldest looking of the nuns stepped forward to approach Jack while peering into the chest.

“A more than fair deal Mr….I don’t believe I caught your name?”

“Smith…Mr. Smith.”

“You’re very kind Mr. Smith. This…eunich of yours…does he have any clothes?”

“Ah yes…Gibbs if ye would be so kind….Mr. Turner’s clothes?”

“Here sir.”

Gibbs handed Jack the burlap sack that they had stuffed Will’s clothing into earlier and he passed it on to the nun.

‘So then we’re in agreement?”

“There is one more thing Mr. Smith…has he any sort of skill?”

“Mr. Turner is a fine blacksmith.”

“Oh very good…we could use a blacksmith around the convent.”

“So then it’s all settled?”

“So it would seem Mr. Smith. God bless you for your generosity.”

Will snorted out loud but was quieted quickly by one of Jack’s elbows in his ribs.

“Thank ye kindly sister…now then here are the keys t’ the shackles. Ye have no idea how much yer helping me.”

“Oh no your donation and this young man is a great help to us. Thank you…he will be well cared for.”

Will opened his mouth to protest but Jack easily silenced him by quickly placing a hand on one of his pistols. Shaking the elderly nun’s hand one last time he handed Will over to them. With a smile and a wave he then turned about and lead his crew back to the Pearl. It felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders now that he didn’t have to worry about the whelp trying to muck up things between him and Elizabeth. Now he was free to completely pursue her as he had been so desperate to do for quite some time now. He had proven his words to her so long ago to be true. She had come over to his side and clearly loved every moment of it. Will had never been a strong enough man to hold onto a woman like her and Jack had known it from the moment that he had plucked her off the floor of the harbor in Port Royal all those years ago. She had always needed a man…no a pirate like him to love her.
