___________________

Everything was happening so fast. Achille threw Elizabeth overboard and now Jack was dragging the unconscious woman into the long boat. Will prepared to climb back down the rope, but stopped and turned first.

“Go!” Selene yelled, her eyes wide and her voice shill.

Will held out his hand to her, “Come with us.”

“No…I can’t I have to…”

“What? Bill abandoned you, just like he did my mother. He won’t come for you.”

“I know but…” Selene looked behind her then back at Will, “How can I leave?”

“Easy, just take my hand. I won’t leave you.” A look passed over Selene’s eyes and Will thought he saw her eyes glimmer and dampen for a moment. She took his hand and they turned and jumped into the sea together.

Will Climbed up onto the longboat and looked around anxiously but grinned when he saw Selene climb up with ease. With her safe he turned his attention to Elizabeth. Jack was leaning over her with his ear to her mouth.

“Is she breathing?” he asked and tried to find her pulse.

“Don’t know…I don’t think so.” Jack was gasping for breath himself. “Row the boat Will. Get us the bloody hell outta here.”

“Right. Yeah. Alright.” Will took the ores and looked shocked for a moment when Selene took one as well.

She grinned at him and positioned herself next to him, “You’re not one of those Ladies-stick-to-the-kitchen men are you?”

For a moment Will looked confused. His eyes flicked to Elizabeth and he smiled. “No, not any more.” And they rowed in perfect time back to the Black Pearl.

Jack barked orders at the crew as he marched briskly towards his cabin. “On ye feet lads! We have a need to get out of here right now. Never mind the heading just run with the wind.

he carried the unconscious woman to his cabin and lay her gently on his bunk. She was breathing, it was slight but there. Absently, Jack brushed a stray hair from her face and sat beside her. She began to shiver and tremble and her head moved from side to side.

“Blankets!” Jack growled to William who was hovering in the door way. The other man nodded and left. Jack looked back down at Elizabeth. Her clothes were sopping wet and so were his for that matter. Deftly he stripped her of her wet nightdress and clenched his teeth hard as his eyes roved over her naked form. He pushed all thoughts of what might have been out of his head and grabbed one of his dry shirts and quickly slipped it over her arms and closed all the buttons up to her neck.

With her suitably covered he began to strip of his own wet clothes.

William cleared his throat loudly from the doorway. “Hope I’m not disturbing you.” his voice was restrained and his eyes flashed.

Jack grinned, “Not a chance Mr Turner, She’s going to die if I don’t keep her warm tonight and I don’t need that on my conscience.” He grabbed the blankets from Will and covered Elizabeth in them. He removed his pants and hung them over a railing with his shirt then grabbed a dry pair from his draw and pulled them on.

Will watched as Jack lay down beside the sleeping woman and wrapped himself tightly around her. Immediately her trembling slowed and her breathing calmed. “Are you sure it’s proper to spend the night that way.”

The pirate glared up at Will, “Don’t worry Maynard,” he smirked as Will cringed, “Her virtue is not at risk, at least not from me…not anymore.” Jack rested his head on the pillow and closed his eyes.

He heard William close the door and quiet voices from the younger man and their new passenger, Selene. He smiled to himself. He’d always liked Selene. A little too flighty for his taste but always made friendly and entertaining company. Bill had been a bastard to keep her hanging that way. Though the letters he’d caught sight of it sounded like she was waiting for him, saving herself and turning away all others for a man who was never going to come. Bill wasn’t a bad man, but he loved the sea and the pirate life too much to have time for the lasses. Though he seemed to have one waiting on every port.

He heard William show the lady to Elizabeth’s cabin and heard him stumbling over his words as he said goodnight and she did likewise. Will seemed quite taken by her, not surprising she was stunning. But didn’t compare to the sleeping form beside him. His eyes opened and he lifted his head to look down at her sleeping form. She looked so calm now, so innocent, so perfect. He stroked her cheek and revelled in the softness of her face.

An image of her standing on tiptoes to kiss that sick bastard flickered into his mind and blazed repugnantly though his senses. He pulled his hand back as though she’d burnt him. He cringed, How could she? How could she kiss him like that? So warm and soft and responsive in my arms then turn and kiss that butcher with equal valour. Jack’s jaw clenched and his eyes turned cold. Just like Annabella. At least I managed to save this one before he could do the same to her. She’s a conniving fortune hunting doxy, but she doesn’t deserve what Achille would have done to her

Jack climbed out of the bunk. Immediately she began to shiver again. A sliver of guilt ran through him but only a sliver. How he wanted to lay down with her again. To pull her close and kiss her, love her and forget everything that he’d seen. He could believe her beautiful lies as he kissed them from her full red lips.

With a frustrated growl he turned on his heel and left the room. He would find Will and have him lay with her for the night.

William stood on the deck looking out at the ocean moving quickly below them. The Pearl was the fastest ship in the Caribbean and tonight it was showing them just how fast it could go. The Unity was out of site and it would take that pathetic excuse for a crew at least a week to even find the right heading. Will chuckled to himself and looked up at the stars. They reminded him of Selene and her amazing hair.

“Here you are, thought you’d be all tucked up in yer beddie-byes.” Jack’s voice mocked lazily.

“What are you doing out here Jack?” Will turned and was shocked by Jack’s pale appearance. “Jack?” the man wavered slightly and Will caught him and helped the pirate to sit on the deck.

“”Couldn’t be near ‘er no more lad. I’m afraid Tia might be right.” he raised his eyes to Jack, “Guess it’s yer lucky night.”

“What the hell is wrong with you!” Will jumped to his feet. “You go on and on about how much you love her and how much you want to be with her again. She is NOT Annabella.” Jack cringed and looked away but Will continued, “We know nothing about what happened on that ship or what we saw. How can you throw her to the wind the first time…The FIRST time her faithfulness is called into question.”

“What’s your point lad?” Jack snipped as he pulled his hat down over his eyes. “I ain’t gonna throw her to the wind, we’ll drop her off at Tortuga, I’m sure she’ll fit in just fine. Might even go visit her from time to time me self.” He ginned and closed his eyes.

Will seethed, “My Point? What’s my POINT!” He had to clench his fists to stop himself from punching the pirate right in the mouth. “My POINT is that you are a stupid, one eyed, JACKASS!” with that Will turned and marched down to the Captain’s quarters.

On his way down Selene opened her door and peaked out, “Is everything alright?”

Will pasted on a slightly strained smile, “Yeah, Jack’s Just feeling sorry for himself.”

“Why? He found his wife didn’t he? And she’s going to be alright.” she tipped her head slightly to the side and smiled, “Mmm I can heart her breathing…she’s cold.”

“I’m going to lay with her for the night.” He looked uncomfortable and scuffed his feet nervously. “You know to keep her warm.” his eyes suddenly looked up, “How can you…?” she smiled and something moved across her eyes and Will knew, “You’re a Gurou as well aren’t you.”

She nodded, “Achille found me while I was waiting for you’re father to come for me. He changed me.” She closed her eyes and smelt the air, “You will change for the first time soon.” she reached out to touch his face, “I don’t envy you, the first time is no fun. But if you like we could change together.” she blushed and smiled, “Sometimes it’s easier when your relaxed.”

He grinned and nodded, “I’d like that.” he turned to go then thought for a moment and turned back. “I’m not my father. I’m nothing like him and will never be like him.” She tried to speak but he shushed her with a finger, “I was wondering if it would be O.K for me to ask you to accompany me on a walk on deck tomorrow morning after we’ve breakfasted.”

She smiled back, “I would like that William.” She looked away, “If you like I could lay with Elizabeth and keep her warm tonight. We’ve become close over the last few days and I’ll take good care of her.”

Will grinned relieved, “Thank you.”
