Chapter Two - Unannounced
Elizabeth let out a great sigh as she leaned over the edge of the ship, the railing pushed against her abdomen, but that didn't mater much to her either. Eyes pulling themselves away from the salty ocean below her, she took another daring glance at the island. That same frown formed upon her thin lips once again, but that wasn't much different from her expression before. The island that would hold Will's memory for eternity was slowly, but surely, fading from view. Soon, it would be nothing but a barely noticeable speck of white and green in the distance. And it was probably better that way. Elizabeth Swann hadn't uttered a word since they boarded the ship, and the crew all knew that it would most likely stay like that for a long while. Even Jack, who was always known for being able to place himself in any body's conversation, hadn't dared approach her yet. Watching Will die was too fresh in her mind for any human contact at the moment, and they all understood that.
"Jack...?" Asked Gibbs a bit cautiously as he moved to Jack's side. The captain, who had been watching Elizabeth intently, almost protectively, was brought out of his thoughts. "Hmm?" Mr. Gibb's glanced at the grieving woman's form at the side of the ship before looking back at Jack. "How is she doing?" He questioned, referring, of course, to Elizabeth. Though is wasn't thought exactly possible, Jack's frown deepened as Gibbs' words hung in the air. He gave a small shrug, showing that she hadn't had much of a change of state. "Well..." He began, planning to continue, though, a voice cut him off. "If you two are going to talk about me, please do it else-where." Both pirates looked rather shocked at Elizabeth's sudden words, and Jack quickly shut his mouth.
You come over unannounced. Silence broken by your voice in the dark.
Gibbs took the hint, in a rather unpirate-like fashion, and quickly backed away from Jack, retreating to the ship wheel that he had been put in charge of. After glancing around, Jack staggered over to her with caution. She made no move to shunt him away. Apparently, Jack Sparrow was the only person who could brake through those walls that she had placed around herself, and for that, Elizabeth was rather glad. The woman ducked her head away from him yet again, focusing her dark eyes on the rushing water below. "Jack..." She said softly, a sort of pain falling into her voice. The pirate did his best to keep his expression the same; uninterested, but he feared that he was failing horribly. Jack's head tilted back slightly, as if silently saying 'yeah?'. "What do I do now?" She questioned him, still failing to meet his eyes. Though it wasn't the type of question that one usually expected, Jack wasn't surprised in the least. The man shrugged, fully understanding what she meant. "The same thing you did before he...Well." Saying that Will had died wasn't the best thing that he could think of at the moment, so he refrained from saying, 'Will died'. However, that was the truth, and you could only run away from that for so long. "You want me to be a pirate?" She asked, her expression showing a half-confused and half-amused girl. Jack offered a small smile back at her, exposing gold and silver teeth as he did so. "Okay, captain Sparrow..." Elizabeth agreed, finally raising her eyes to meet his as that same amused smile played across her lips. If you didn't know her or the crew, you never would have suspected that someone close to her had just been killed.
Gibbs watched the two of them from a distance, still steering the boat in the right direction. He was bewildered at Jack's ability to get close to the girl, especially with those guards that she had placed around herself. It was quite remarkable, actually, if only to watch.
I need you here tonight. Just like the ocean needs the waves.

I almost went to see the second movie, again, while I was at my grandpa's, but I only had one of those movie pass things that let you get in free, and they wouldn't take it.
Again, very good. Update soon.
