Connections

Three hours later found Elizabeth standing with the newly appointed Commodore James Norrington on the battlement overlooking the sea.
"Uh, you look lovely, Elizabeth."he says."I, uh, apologize if I seem forward, but I... must speak my mind. This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved. Uh... a marriage to a fine woman. You have become a fine woman, Elizabeth."
She looks up at him with shock written on her face as she fans herself."I can't breathe."
He looks at her and turns away,"Yes, I... I'm a bit nervous myself."
He turns to look at her only to realize that she has fallen to the sea below." Elizabeth!!!" he exclaims going to strip off his jacket but one of his men points out that someone had dived off a ship and was swimming towards her.
Elizabeth gasped coughing up the water she had inhaled. She looks to a hand holding the medalion she was wearing and her breath catches in her throat when he opens his mouth and speaks.
"Where did you get that?"
It was him. It had to be. His voice had the same husky gruff and he smelt of rum and the sea. She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Norringtion and his men as well as her father.
Later that night as she lay in bed her mind kept playing to earlier that day. She knew she was right to think it was him becasue as soon as he had pulled her agianst him her body reacted the same way it did that night four years earlier.
She almost moaned but thought better of it remembering that her father and others were watching.
She climbed out of bed and slipped out of her nightgown and into her boys clothes. She moved over to her window and silently snuck out and moved towards the jail area.
Jack leaned back against the wall of his cell bored out of his mind. He was the only prisoner in Port Royal...at least on this night he was.
"Just bloody great..."
He snapped his head to the stairs as he heard the door open and moved closer to the bars.
Elizabeth inhaled sharply as she looked at him leaning against the bars looking at her questioningly.
"I know you..."she said quietly in her best male voice.
"You mean you know of me..." he replied with a smirk on his face.
"No....I know you..."she said as she removed her hat letting her hair fall down around her face.
"Ah, yes...Miss Swann...I wouldn't say that you knew me..we just met this afternoon."
"No..." she said moving closer to the cell.Her eyes captivated by his. "We met before today, actually."
"Yea....when was this?"
"Four years ago...."
"I don't think so...I would remember a lass as lovely as you..."
She smiled softly and quirked and eyebrow.
"Four years ago I ran away from home...."he raised an eyebrow."....and I met you in Tortuga.."
"...Is that so?..."
"...Yes...you took me in the alley behind 'The Faithful Bryde'."
Jack's smirk faltered as she said that and his mind flashed back to that night. He had never really seen the girl's face.
"That was you?...."he asked watching her as she moved closer to the cell."How'd you know it was me?...It could've been some other Pirate."
"But it couldn't be....because as soon as I saw you I knew...and when you held me against you as a sheild...I knew because I remember the way you smell...spicey like rum and the sea...and when I felt you pressed against me my body reacted just as it did that night."
"Bloody hell..."he groaned as she stood directly in front of the cell he was in.
"I've dreamt of you since that night....I can't get it out of my mind..."she says as she reaches her hand out and gently traces his lips with her fingertips.." I've touched myself thinking about it...about the way you felt against me...inside of me..." she gasped as she was pulled forward and his lips were crushing agaisnt hers.
She pulled away after a moment and he looked at her incrediously but smirked as she pulled a ring of keys out of her pocket.
As soon as they were well away from the jail Jack crushed her body between him and a wall his hand roughly grabbing her breast.
"Wait..."she gasped out..."We...we need to get out of Port Royal before they realize you're gone..." He reluctantly agreed and pulled away from her heading to the docks.
