Jack Sparrow

Will was obviously angered by Elizabeth’s and my betrayal. I made sure to keep a close eye on his hands, just in case he was bold enough to take a swing at me. When he turned his attention away from Lizzie and glared furiously at me, I was sure that I was about to get punched, but instead, he backed away. I could tell that he found my last statement to be devastatingly true. He knew that I was right about Elizabeth being unsatisfied with him. The tension amongst us settled down after a few moments. I took this opportune moment to speak.

“There are other things that your fiancée failed to mention to you, William.”

Will lifted his head and glowered. “Like what? I don’t think there’s anything else she needs to tell me. I’ve heard enough.”

“Yes there is. Do you remember that little incident I had a few months back...involved an enormous sea creature... gobbled me up and sent me straight to hell?"

Will stared at me confusedly. “Jack what the hell does that have to do with Elizabeth?”

“Everything…you see, it was your fiancée who caused my death. She was the one who shackled me to the mast and left me for fish food. I never intended on goin’ down with me ship in such a grotesque manner.”

Will turned around and looked at Elizabeth. She turned her gaze away from him guiltily but then eyed me hatefully.

“She tricked me. Lizzie, tell him what you did to catch me off guard when everyone went into the longboat for safety. Go ahead. Don’t be shy…”

I noticed tears welling up in her eyes. She mouthed something, but I couldn’t understand her. “What was that Lizzie? Did you say something? Alright then, since you love keeping secrets, why don’t I tell your fiancé what you did.” I stepped closer to Will and grinned. “She shackled me to the mast of the Pearl.”

Will looked at me with a cocked brow and then turned to Elizabeth.

"So? What's so bad about that? I wish I would have thought doing that myself!" Will replied venomously.

I smiled at his sarcasm.

"I'm sure you do... but you see, dear William, it was the very un-lady-like manner she chose to trick me into said precarious situation that even you wouldn't have been able to pull off."

Will stepped closer to me and smirked. “What did she do…steal your hat? Forget to call you captain?”

“No…much worse.” I stepped closer to him and smirked. “She kissed me…”

Will turned to Elizabeth and then to me. The expression on his face was priceless. I had to hold back a laugh.

“Elizabeth…did you kiss him when we were in the long boat?” Will inquired in a soft voice as he lifted her face. Elizabeth resisted in meeting his gaze, but she finally looked at him with tears streaming down her face.

“Yes…I did, but I…”

“See William? She did kiss me!” I interrupted, smiling diabolically at Elizabeth and then at Will. “You know what else she did right before she killed me? She told me how much of a good man I was and then she bloody kissed me! She didn’t have to trick me with a kiss, but she did.” I turned my attention away from Will and looked at Elizabeth.

“You know, Ms. Swann, there were other things you could have done to trick me, but you chose the selfish way. You chose to betray your fiancée, as well as yours truly, to satisfy your own selfish desires. But that wasn’t the first time you attempted to kiss me. Remember when we were on the Pearl, trying to find poor William? Didn’t you ask me if I wanted to know what it tastes like? Didn’t you try to provoke me into kissing you? I noticed sadness in your eyes when I didn’t kiss you at that particular moment…”

“You’re lying! I never wanted to kiss you! I did everything I needed to do to save Will! And you know damn well that the kiss was no more than a trick to get you to deal with the consequences of your actions! I had to find some way to distract you! That kiss meant nothing to me! You mean nothing to me!” She yelled tearfully.

Her last statement struck a chord in my heart. I didn’t want her to notice that her blasphemous words bothered me. I hid my pain as always, with a diabolical smile.

“Enough with the tears, darling, it’s not working. You know what you did…why don’t you stop lying and own up to it? Why don’t you be a woman and a good fiancée for once and grow the fuck up. I think William deserves that…Don’t you?” I then turned my attention back to Will, who continued to stare at Elizabeth, all mushy and heartbroken.

“William I must tell you, your fiancée over here has been throwing herself at me for quite some time now. It was just a matter of time before I had to do something about it….”

Will turned his attention away from Elizabeth and glowered at me with abhorrence. He was beyond heartbroken at this point. He was quiet for a few moments as he took in everything I had said. I smiled at him triumphantly and glanced at Elizabeth, who was now crying. I should have given Will more details about my trysts with Lizzie. I should tell him that she was lying on my bed under the cover on the day he came inside my cabin drunk. I should tell him that it was she that he heard screaming in pure ecstasy that night he tried to pay me a visit. He probably realizes that by now. But I knew in my heart that I couldn’t reveal everything that we had done, for I knew that my moments with her were special. I’d managed to hurt Elizabeth more than I was hurting. It didn’t feel as good as I had thought. I glanced at Elizabeth, but had to quickly turn away, for I couldn’t stand to see the pain that I had caused her. I felt insufferable pain in my heart. I turned around and noticed Carmen stepping out of the pub. She smiled and nodded her head. I still wanted to spend some time with her, but I wasn’t sure if she wanted to. On my attempt to walk over to her, Will quickly rushed at me and grabbed me by my coat collar. There was and air of insanity about him. I saw Elizabeth run next to him and began to push him off of me.

“Will stop it! Fighting him won’t do any justice! What’s done is done! Please stop it this instant!” She pleaded with tears streaming down her face. Will looked at me and then at Elizabeth. He released his hold on my coat collar and took a small step back, all the while keeping his eyes fixated on mine. I grinned at him deviously as I began fixing myself.

“You fucking bastard…” He sneered through gritted teeth.

“Why do you think she so desperately wanted to rescue me from Davy Jones’ Locker? Huh? Now you know that you have a…” But before I could finish my ruthless statement, Will suddenly punched me dead in my face. I stumbled back a few steps. I heard Elizabeth scream out his name in horror. I suddenly felt someone grab me by my waist as I tried to stand straight. I looked at Will, who was being held back by Elizabeth, and smirked. I had one nerve to grab my pistol and shoot him, but Carmen removed my hand from my sash.

“No Jack…he’s your friend. Don’t do something you will regret.” She said as she looked into my eyes pleadingly. I caressed her cheek and smiled. I then glared at Will, who had a mocking smile on his face.

“Aren’t you going to fight me Jack? You coward!”

I took a few steps closer and smiled at him. “No…you see dear William, I’m a lover, not a fighter. Your fiancée can attest to that.” I sneered. Will attempted to jump at me again but Elizabeth managed to stop him. I smiled and stepped back. Will and I glared at each other for a few moments until Elizabeth stepped closer to me and glowered.

“You are a despicable man, Jack Sparrow…” She began in a soft whisper. “I hate you for what you did to me. How dare you embarrass me like this? You had no right telling Will about what happened between us!”

I smiled at her and attempted to caress her face, but I heard William warning me not to touch her.

“Don’t you dare touch her you sick bastard!”

I glanced at Will and smirked. I then looked at Lizzie and smiled cynically at her.

“Sticks and stones love. You deceived me…and now I’ve given you what you damn well deserve…we’re square. Just so you know Ms. Swann, I still intend on spending some time with Miss Carmen tonight…your attempts to thwart my plans didn’t work now did they?” I then lowered my face to hers and whispered softly. “Don’t worry about me, I’m sure Carmen will take very good care of me…and I’m sure that she’s a better fuck than you are…” I sneered.

Angry tears welled up in Elizabeth’s eyes. I felt my heart crumbling at the sight of her tears, but I didn’t let it show. She took one step back and glanced at me and then at Carmen.

“Bastard…” She said maliciously through gritted teeth.

I gave her my most hateful grin and leaned in closer to her. “You’re a deceitful, murderous wench…”

She widened her eyes in disbelief as she stared at me. I could see more pain swelling in her beautiful eyes. I almost felt terrible about what I had said, until she suddenly slapped me with all of her might. I didn’t stumble this time, but my head turned from her blow. I felt a sharp pain on my face, as if my skin had been sliced with something sharp. I slowly turned my head back to face her and saw her place her hand over her mouth as she began to cry harder. I touched my cheek and looked at my fingers and noticed that there were small droplets of blood. Not only did she nearly knock my head off, but she cut me!

This slap was different from the one on the Pearl, for it went straight to my heart. It was filled with pure hatred, not scorned love. There was a dead silence in the atmosphere. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Elizabeth took two steps back and turned and ran away, leaving William and I alone. I smirked, in an attempt to hide my shock and utter pain, and yelled after her.

“Oh don’t run away Ms. Swann…own up to what you did! Running away won’t solve anything Lizzie! Come back here and face us you coward!” I noticed my voice starting to crack from all of the emotion I was feeling in my heart.

Will turned around and stepped closer and eyed me portentously. “Don’t you ever in your fucking life look at Elizabeth or even think about touching her. You’ve ruined her…you’ve ruined my life and our future. I should just kick your ass right now…”

I smiled and grabbed my gun and pointed it in his face. “Oh you can try dear William, but who’s going to pick up your dead body once I’ve shot you?”

Will looked down at my hand. He then looked up at me and smirked.

"You're a despicable son of a bitch."

I smirked at him deviously and chuckled. "Don't be so angry with me dear William because your fiancee let me do anything and everything I wanted to her sweet, lil' cunt. That's right William, an old shit faced pirate, as you so well put it, pounded his well endowed cock into your innocent lil' girlfriend...making her scream out my name in pure ecstasy." I boldly stepped closer to him and tucked my gun back inside my sash, daring him to strike me. I knew my harsh words cut him deep, but he deserved it. He deserved to hurt for punching me and shagging my Lizzie.

Will glared at me hatefully and spat on my boot. "Fuck you, Jack." He sneered and then turned to leave.

“Oh William?”

He stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around. “I don’t ever want you stepping foot on my Pearl anymore…I don’t care if we are to set sail tomorrow for those islands. I guess you can say that you are assed out for acquiring land for your own, aye mate?”

He turned his head slightly and then walked away to go find Elizabeth. I stood there for a moment as the whole scene ran through my mind. I felt shattered…numb that my Lizzie was gone and that my best mate was now my worst enemy. I turned around and faced Carmen. She walked over to me and smiled.

“Are you alright Captain Sparrow?”

I smiled and nodded my head. “Yes, I’m alright, but me bloody eye is throbbing from that prissy eunuch punching me.”

She gently placed her hand on my eye. “I can see why it’s hurting badly, it’s turning purple and this lil’ scratch ya have on your face isn’t looking so pretty, either. They both did a good number on you.” She said as she removed her hand from my face. She then looked down at my bandaged right hand and held it.

“May I ask what happened to your hand?”

I looked at the blood stained bandage wrapped around my wounded hand. I then looked up at Carmen and smiled halfheartedly, for the memory of what caused that wound ran through my mind and straight to my heart. “Would you believe that I did that? I broke a rum bottle in me hand…piece of glass pierced my palm…I nearly died. But not to worry, it doesn’t hurt as much as it did a few days ago. I can still make use of it…” I replied jokingly, giving her my most pitiful look.

Carmen smiled and tenderly held onto my hand. “You know, I don’t think you’re having a very good day with women, Captain Sparrow.”

I grinned slyly at her and stepped closer to her. “Well, perhaps that may change…tonight. You know, Miss Carmen, even though this hand may be injured, I am able to do whatever you want me to do…” I replied seductively as I kissed her hand that held my injured hand.

She blushed as she chuckled and gazed into my eyes knowingly. “Come, let me fix you up at my house. Let’s see what I can do for you…” She replied sweetly as she linked her arm with mine and led me out of the alleyway of the pub…
