Love That Song


Chapter 2 - Fear & trembling

William

“Psst”

The strange hissing caught William Turner’s attention. He turned one way then the other before deciding that it was nothing of importance.

“Pssssssst!”

“Is someone there?”, Will said, his hand ready on his sword. He walked cautiously towards the large supporting beam, behind which he was sure the sound had come. Suddenly he felt himself grabbed and pulled into a side room.

“So, is this how a eunuch spends his last days of freedom?”

“Jack!”, Will couldn’t help grinning as he beheld his old friend, “What are you doing here? If Commodore Norrington finds you here he’ll shoot you where you stand, and possibly me.”

Jack laughed, his head tipping back slightly, “He hasn’t forgiven you then? Can’t say I blame him.” Jack walked absently around the room, looking at the various items, tools, and trinkets; touching one, admiring another, then pocketing yet another. “You stole the heart of a fine woman from under his nose”

“There was no stealing Jack”, Will took back another tool that Jack was about to pilfer and placed it back on the bench, “I love Elizabeth and she loves me, since the day we met. You can not steal that which belongs to oneself”

“Mmmm quite right mate.” Jack nodded thoughtfully, “And Miss Swan is definitely the property of herself”

“Why are you here Jack?”

“I’m Captain Jack Sparrow. I go where I please, I take what I please__”, Jack picked up the tool and waved it before Will before dropping it into his large jacket pocket. “And I never miss a party - Savvy?”

Elizabeth

A long, deep red hooded cloak made the finishing touch to Elizabeth’s Little-Red-Riding-hood costume for the fancy dress ball. She smiled into the mirror as Mary, her personal maid straitened and adjusted the outfit.

“You look very beautiful Miss”

“Thank you Mary, and you must send thanks to your Aunt for all her help”, Elizabeth said, gifting the girl with a warm smile.

“I will Miss”, for a moment it looked as though the maid was going to say more, but they were interrupted by Governor Swan.

“My my, but you do look lovely Elizabeth, I can’t think of any other man as proud of his daughter as I”

Elizabeth moved gladly into his arms. Her father always had a way of calming her scattered thoughts.

“Thank you father”

He turned to Mary, “You may leave us now.”

“As you say sir.” She left quickly, leaving the father and daughter to talk in private.

“Elizabeth. My little Elizabeth, why did you have to grow up so fast?”

“Father…”

“No, let me speak. You’re to be married soon, and I know you haven’t been my little girl for a long time now, but…” His words caught in his throat. “What will I do with out my daughter to order about?”

“Well for one thing you can stop hiding the fact that you’re courting the widow Mrs Grey”

“Elizabeth!”, Her father blushed, something she hadn’t seen in many years.

“Please father, everyone knows and no one seems to mind, especially not me”

“I wasn’t sure how to break the news, or how you’d feel”

“If mother were alive she’d want you to be happy, as do I.”

“Well. Well this is going to be a busy week is it not? A Fancy Dress Ball, followed by my own daughters wedding, and a proposal of marriage to Mrs Grey.”

“Oh father!”, Elizabeth threw herself into her fathers arms, “I’m so happy for you, I was afraid that you would be lonely when I left”

“Easy now dearest, remember she has not been proposed to yet, nore has she given her positive answer”, he looked at her sternly, “Not a word”

They smiled at each other with that knowing intimacy that only a parent and child can hold before he kissed her cheek and left her to her dressing.

Later Will and Elizabeth walked hand-in-hand into the huge ballroom. It was filled with princesses, wizards, lions, and other beautifully designed costumes dancing and laughing. William was dressed as a Woodsman and looked exceptionally hansom with his shoulder length hair free around his face. Elizabeth smiled up at him as they stood in the archway, she really was lucky to have own the heart of such a man; both good-hearted and hansom. He leaned down to whisper in her ear.

“Have I told you yet how ravishing you look tonight?”, his mouth was so close that his hot breath tickled her ear.

“Yes Will, several times.” She spoke looking into his wide brown eyes, his feelings for her were so clear in them. “Thank you”, her voice cracked.

“Come Miss Swan, you owe me a dance.” He led her to the dance floor and they joined the crowd, moving together as one to the orchestra music being played at the other end of the ballroom.

As they danced, Elizabeth noticed Will looking around as though he expected to see someone. After a few more minutes of this she finally asked him for an explanation.

“Are you expecting someone?”

“Umm yes - NO” he took a breath, “I’m not sure. Elizabeth I meant to tell you this earlier, but then…”, he looked down at her face and dress and shrugged, “I was distracted. “I saw a common acquaintance of ours earlier today, and he arr expressed an interest in making an appearance - tonight.”

“What are you talking about?”

“A certain friend of ours who’s name should be avoided lest we be H-A-N-G-E-D as he would have been”, these last words were whispered.

Jack!, She thought her widened eyes showing that she had gotten the message. Suddenly angry she whispered back. “That fool! If he’s caught he’ll be damn well hung”

“A little late for that luv”, a familiar voice came from behind her. They both stopped moving and turned to face Jack Sparrow, dressed as a big bad wolf. He held his fur covered hands up quickly, “Just what I’ve heard from the ladies”

Will and Elizabeth looked at each other and shrugged.

“Ah come now, don’t tell me you’ve never heard that one?”

“Jack what are you doing here?” Elizabeth hissed at him as they moved towards a quiet corner.

Jack grinned rakishly, “Young William, what is your costume?”

“Why I’m the woodsman, the one who saves Little Red Riding Hood infact”, Will smiled proudly.

“Ahh”, said Jack, looking thoughtful, “The way I heard the story”, he suddenly looked pointedly at Elizabeth and her mouth went dry as he spoke, “the Big Bad Wolf ate Little red Riding Hood all - up.”

*******

Later in the night Will had gone to talk business with some wealthy friends of her father and Elizabeth stood out on the balcony. She knew that she wasn’t alone long before the pirate made his presence known.

“Why are you here Jack?”, she looked out at the sea as she spoke.

“I never miss a party luv, didn’t your dear William tell you that?”

She turned and looked at him, taking the rod holding his wolf mask from his hands and away from his face. She looked into his eyes for a moment.

“You came for me.” It wasn’t a question.

“I came for you.” His reached out his hand to feel the soft material of her cloak, then the softness of her cheek, then let his hand drop to her waist where he gripped her dress and pulled her to him. She didn’t protest, instead she raised her mouth obligingly and he took it. His kiss was harsh and his mouth was hot and hungry on hers. Elizabeth’s heart raced and her legs went week, but Jack held her up, held her to him. When his finally pulled back she was trembling and her breath was harsh.

“Jack…”

“When can we get out, we have a huge adventure before us”, His arms made a large circle as he spoke. “Viking treasure - and maybe a dragon…”

Elizabeth laughed delighted, then serious again. “Jack, wait”, She laid a single hand on his chest, “There’s something I must do first. Will you wait for me”

“I suppose I don’t have much choice.” smiling he pulled her back against his furry suit, sealing the deal with another deep and hungry kiss.
