...And the RUM IS GONE!!!

A-N - I typed this out last night and went to post it and DOH! I forgot to put a chapter title and it didn't post. Silly me :) Enjoy! Also, the more reviews I get, the more ideas I can get from my beloved muse. Hint...Hint..Hint :)


She watched him quietly from the shadows as he was behind the wheel of his beloved Black Pearl. Most of the crew had already bunked down for the night, but sleep had been elusive for her, much as it had been for the past several months. She had quietly slipped away while the others were snoring blissfully unaware of her leaving. Elizabeth sighed softly, nibbling on her lower lip, wanting desperately to talk to Jack, but not knowing at all what to say. She turned to head back down below.

"S'not polite to be staring at a man while he's steering his ship," Jack called out to her. Elizabeth flinched, hoping that he had not noticed her watching him.

"I....er..I," she stammered out, trying to think of a witty reason as to why she was on deck anyways.

"Save it, Lizzie," he kept one hand on the wheel as he took a long drink of rum from the bottle clasped loosely in his other hand. "You don't have anything to say that I will be wanting to hear....savy?" 'There, maybe that will shut her up,' he thought to himself grimly, making minor adjustments to the wheel, and taking another swig from the bottle

Elizabeth felt the sting of his harsh words, but honestly she could understand why. She had condemned Jack to die after all, what did she expect? For him to forget it ever happened? The guilt she had been carrying inside of her had nearly smothered her, causing a rift between her and Will. 'Rift....ha...He won't even speak to me at the moment,' she thought sadly. "For ...what it is worth Captain Sparrow....I...lied when I told you that I wasn't sorry....I...have never been more sorry in my life," She ventured.

Jack snorted and took another long drink. "Lizzie, a pirate is never sorry when they save their own hide, so excuse me if I don't rightly believe anything that comes out of yer mouth," he said coldly, still keeping his back to her.

Tears came to her eyes, but once again, what did she expect? "I'll leave you alone then Captain," she whispered, going down below, but not before a few tears dripped down onto the deck.

Jack waiting a few moments and sighed, taking another drink of rum and removing his hand on the wheel for a moment to take out his compass.
"You'll never leave me alone, Lizzie...." he muttered to himself, watching as the compass spun around lazily in circles before pointing in the direction opposite of where he was sailing; pointing right to the direction that Elizabeth had been. "Bugger," he grumbled, snapping the compass closed and grabbing the wheel again. He raised the bottle up to take another long drink only to find it empty. "And why is the RUM ALWAYS GONE!!!"
