Resolutions
Lonewolf: hehe I’m working deligently on doing that…but the rum and cherries are very much appreciated ^_^
Chapter 4: Resolutions
Uncertain, Will repeated the words of the captain, “Better ones? New ones?”
Jack smiled, then nodded, “The best way to rid of bad, unwanted memories…is by creating new and better ones, to push out the ones you wish to get past”
Will nodded in a form of silent understanding, then wondered, “How?”
Jack hesitated, “By…reliving the experience you had, only, in a way that doesn’t cause you pain, but will give you pleasure instead”
At the realization of what Jack was implying struck the blacksmith, he shook his head frantically, moving again to get away, “You… you want… You’re just”
The warning glance Jack shot him was enough to silence the youth, he’d gone beyond his limits before, it would be best not to do so again, “William, I didn’t mean you should do this with me. Your bonnielass might be willing to help you. I would, but it’s your choice”
Will looked at the pirate and smiled bitterly, “Elizabeth would not help me, and…definitely not like that, unless we’d get married…”
Intentionally, he decided not to get into doing anything of whatever sorts with the elder pirate.
Jack nodded then, “If you need…more rum… You know where to find me… It’ll help you sleep”
The blacksmith gave a small grateful nod, “I did sleep…didn’t I? And… I didn’t even…the nightmare didn’t come.”
Jack smiled, “The rum scared it away”
The comment, although it was a sensible one, made the youth laugh, before he stretched and rose, “Thank you…”
Jack just laughed, “You go and have a talk with your bonnielass William, good or bad it may be, it will give you answers. Some of which you may need”
Will sighed in reply, but nodded, “I shall”
“How can you even SAY that Will?!”
A frustrated sigh fell from Will’s lips as he smoothed back his hair, “You wouldn’t even sacrifice that for me? After…”
Elizabeth narrowed her eyes, “After what Will?! After you decided to come save me?! I suffered too! Don’t make out to be the only victim! Don’t even dare to make me do this because you feel I owe it to you!”
She gasped as a hand connected with her cheek, her face taking on a stunned appearance, her eyes alight with dancing fury, and in return, she slapped him, “You hit me!”
The blacksmith felt his blood boiling, “You know nothing of what I’ve been through… for you! Everything I did…it was for you! If I hadn’t … It would have been you! All I’m asking you now, is to help me”
But in his mind, the train of thought had already been set in motion.
Why would she help me? What are you thinking? You really think she…untainted and beautiful, would help you? A foul and tainted thing? Not even worth considering a person. Not even worthy of respect.
What did you expect? Truly?
His expression softened as his hand reached out, “Elizabeth…My apologies. I … exceeded my limits and can all but hope for your forgiveness. I shall go now and… disturb you no more”
A shove out of the room and a door slamming right behind him was the reply he received.
He let himself slide down, a single tear slipping down his cheeks as a quiet whisper escaped him, “What have I done?”
TBC…
A/N: Thank you for all of you that review, it's a great incentive to keep writing and OMG! The next chapter is brilliant! Filled with Jack-intelligent ((a.k.a. confusing)) work :p. Self created, of course
