Aug. 11, 2006 - a story from youir awesome and as-near-to-perfect-as-one-can-get older sister. (i'm kiddin' with ya. i'm not really conceited; you know that.) |
| Posted by soontobeauthor |
Here you go, dearest little brother of mine, here's a story. It's a bit more, um, romance-ish than you like, but hey, seeing as how I am a girl, I'm allowed to write stuff like that. Now, if I ever catch you writing a story like this, I will be quite irritated with you. You'll probably write it all wrong. LOL Just kidding; it's not really romancy.
Enjoy!!
“Marty, do you know where Elizabeth is?”
“No, I don’t. She’s been staying away from us and not talkin’. She’s been actin’ mighty strange ever since- well, you know.”
Yes. He knew. He also knew that he had been acting strangely himself. He was hurt and confused. Seeing that had been shocking and harsh….but he suspected that Marty was referring to Jack’s death, not the kiss.
Elizabeth sat stonily on the deck. Sobs threatened to come; threatened to make her bawl and scream. She promised herself that she would not cry, at least not tonight.
She knew that Jack was a good man, despite his betrayal, his cocky arrogance and his unordinary love of rum. She had long ago realized that chaining him to the mast and leaving was the worst mistake she had ever made. And now she had no idea where he was, whether he was dead and gone, or somehow alive.
Will heard the scuff of a boot, and the sound of someone’s breathing. He quietly turned the corner of the ship - the ship that Tia Dalma had somehow managed to find – and saw Elizabeth. Well rather, someone who resembled Elizabeth. This wasn’t the real Elizabeth; this person was a ghost. By day she was silent as she went about her work, only speaking when completely necessary. At night, in the moonlight, with the stars twinkling above her, she looked like some kind of tortured ghost; beautiful, despite her look of grief. This was worse than seeing cursed, skeletal pirates, or the slimy crew of The Flying Dutchman. This was the person he loved more than life itself, and this time he couldn’t help her.
“Ah, curse Jack Sparrow!” Will thought, angrily. “This is his fault; all of this is his fault!”
He started to go to her, to try to comfort her, but his broken heart held him back. He turned and went back below deck, back to his bunk, to try to relax and find precious sleep.
Elizabeth turned her head just in time to see Will’s retreating back. She was shocked, but then realized how stupid and selfish she was. How could she expect Will to still care for her? How could she expect Will to try to comfort her? He had every right to walk away, to forget her and leave her to her sadness. But, still, it hurt.
One kiss, just one kiss, and look at all the turmoil it had caused. But she didn’t regret it. She regretted hurting Will, and she regretted leaving Jack, even if it saved everyone else. But she did not regret that kiss. Could not, would not regret it.
She looked up to see a shooting star, and made a wish. Hopefully, somehow, it would come true.

| The ends of the earth; Part one: The warm Caribbean wind blew kaity's hair back from her face,she was not smiling, even though she was very glad to be back at sea. She had been living on the sea almost from the day she was born,she had been living on the "Hammerhead" for 3 weeks now,Gibbs had wrote her a letter telling her what had happened to her father,and what they were going to do about it. He had been carefull to avoid using "beasties" real name,it had taken him a while to write it,because," How exactly do you tell someone there father has been eaten by the legendary " Beastie"? But she didn't cry,she wasn't happy,but she wasn't sad,she had felt he would have that fate someday, Ever since she heard that davvy Jones had come into port,she knew the reason immediately. Kaity had never really knew her father,he was always off stealing treasure,or getting chased around by cannibals,he sent her gifts from all the places he had been,but she did not want gifts,she wanted to see her father. When the crew of the '' Black pearl'' came to get her from jamiaca,she was waiting stone faced in the harbor,nobody wanted to talk to her. She stood and looked at the "HammerHead" for the first time,Gibbs was standing on deck alone,he waved but she did not wave back. Kaity walked up to the ship. She grimaced,and went up to the deck. "Hello, Kaity scarlett!" said Gibbs. Kaity nodded. He told her where she would be sleeping and where the galley was. She sat down on a pile of nets and said nothing. "Well",thought Gibbs " At least we found her..." He chuckled to himself and headed down to the store room to get some more rum,leaving kaity behind. "She'll come out of it in a day or two."He thought. Gibbs had pretty much taught kaity everything she knew about the sea,all the special knots that were neccessary in a gale,and of course,all of the folklore every pirate ( or piratess in this case) should know,he had pretty much raised her,what with Jack being gone so much. He went into the storeroom and locked the door,now he could be alone,and be able to drown his worries in his precious rum. Kaity was happy to be back on the sea,she was born at sea,raised at sea,and she hoped she would someday die at sea. She decided to look around a bit and explore the " Hammerhead" Some more. " This is a good ship" Said Kaity to herself. " I wonder who is crewing her this time?" She went down to the hold,and found two people,two people she knew... All to well. " Pintell?" She sqeaked," Raghetti?" "AAAAHHHH!" She screamed and ran away from them as fast as she could. " Wait,child!" They called," We ain't skelatel no more!" " Yeah!" Called raghetti,'' We been reading the bible!" " We have discovered about the dichotemy good and evil!" "We?" said pintell,in a disgusted tone of voice," You mean you," I can't read it,I won't read it I won't......" Pintell stopped. "Well" He said," I don't wanta end up in no gibbet cage for spoutin' off bad things about the bible..." That was all Kaity had time to hear,she tore out of the room,took the stairs two at a time. When Kaity stopped running and climbed the ropes leading to the crow's nest and huddled down inside it, " I don't think they will find me up here.." Panting,she fingered the shark tooth that her father had given her a long time ago.( he swore he killed it with his bare hands.) Tears welled up in her eyes,her chest was holding great sobs. Finally she could hold them no more. She cried for what seemed like hours, and the she heard a hair rasing shreek,it was the monkey named jack. Kaity yelped and jumped over the edge of the crow's nest. Seizing the first rope she could find, even after she made it to the deck she did not stop,she ran up to the helm andn stopped at the rail,she was trying to get her breath when she heard the scrape of a boot,turning someone she hoped she would never see again was standing there. '' Barbossa!" she screamed. She backed away slowly. "Why are you here?'' she asked. "Miss sparrow," Said barbossa,in his sickly sweet tone,'' I am captaining this ship so we can get your father back." He still had that maniac glint in his eye,kaity had always been afraid of him for that reason. " But,your dead! Dad killed you!" Kaity was unsure of what was going on,had she entered some sort of parralel world that made everything terrible? Nothing was the way it should be! " Ahh,but my little monkey friend made sure I wasn't." Said barbossa, he chuckled, The little monkey named jack swung down from the rigging and landed on his shoulder and howled. "I never liked you monkey!'' Said Kaity,she was extremly scared,had he already been to the locker and back again?! " How come you aren't in the locker with all those other horrid pirates?'' Kaity was scared,was he a ghost? " I already told you," " I am not immortal no more,I think jones decided to give me another chance." He grinned his scary grin. He took a step forward,but kaity held her ground," Since when do you care so much about my dad?" She asked. " All right,all right,I'll tell you," He took a deep breath and sighed," You see kaity,I have never been extremely fond of your father,but I won't deprive any innocent man of his life. I always hated the "beasty'' and I don't think it is any way for someone to die,well he didn't exactly die he just got swallowed, but rest assured,we are going to the ends of the earth and beyo-!" he never got to finish what he was saying,because Gibbs came bursting out of the hold,apparently drunk and clueless. "Whaz happened?! A whale hit me....." He lolled on the deck for a few minutes and then fell down. " Oh, for heaven's sake man. Lord save me if I ever let you on another ship of mine...." Barbossa said,he stared down at Gibbs for a few moments. Then he finally said: " Come kaity,help me get him up." It took a great heave and they set him on some old sails by the side of the boat. " Where am I ?" Said Gibbs. "Whaz goigin on?'' He appeared to have no Idea where he was,or who he was. "Kaity?" said Barbossa,"Is he always like this?" " Most of the time." Said kaity,"He just goes to the storage room,locks himself in,and then he drinks his way through all the rum." Kaity smiled, for she was used to it " We had to make so many stops to get more,dad got tired of it,so he told gibbs he could only drink one bottle a day. Nearly killed himself when dad told him." Kaity looked down at him wistfully. " He loves his rum." " Aye" Said barbossa.They drug him over to the edge and placed him on it.Barbossa bent down and removed the key from Gibb's belt. He winked at kaity,dropped it in his pocket and went down to the storage room. After shoving Gibbs over the edge, kaity went back up to the crow's nest. She was wondering how long it would be before they found her father. "Storm's brewing " said a voice she recognized emmediantly. she jumped. Will!" She said. Will came over to the other side,and gave Kaity a hug. " I missed you,girl."He said,his voice breaking slightly."I missed you to, will." Kaity has alway's liked will. " Wait a minute," " What are you doing here?" She asked him. " I elected to help find your father." Will said. " I met the new captain, I think we have a understanding now,he's not trying to kill me and he can't sneak up on me in the dark anymore." Said kaity. Will laughed. He handed her an extra rope and they climbed down together. When they made it down,they had already gone through all of the things that had happened since she was gone. Will knew Kaity because when he was younger,he had been on a ship that her father had captained. They had a lot of fun together,he taught her to dive,and she taught him how to make a knives out of whale bone. Then Jack turned up missing a few months later,then the crew scattered and Kaity was sent off to jamiaca to live with relatives. Kaity had cried for hours every night. She knew she probably wouldn't ever see her father or will again. But she was wrong,about the will part anyway. Just as they sat down on the steps leading up to the helm,Gibbs came over the side,blustering and wet all over,and aparently he knew who he was and where he was again. " Kaity scarlett!" he yelled," Why did you do that?" " Because,you are a rumpot,I like you anyway,but your still a rumpot,and I was doing you a big favor by doing said dumping you into the ocean.'' She said sweetly,using one of her most winning smiles. Gibbs smiled " Well kaity,the irish in me say's I gotta thank ye for it." He held out his wet,rough hand for kaity to shake and kaity shook it. "Hey,where be me key?" Gibbs asked looking puzzled. "Oh,that ruddy old thing?" She said." Aye." Gibbs Said. "Gave it to Barbossa.'' She examined her nails and sighed "I think we are going to have to throw him overboard later.'' They all laughed.( Gibbs didn't though,he looked crestfallen.) Just then, Barbossa's little monkey came running up from the hold carrying what looked like a smooth walnut,raghetti came storming up a not long after it,looking very angry. " Has anyone seen that horrid little furball of barbossa's? He's got me eye!?'' One of his eye sockets was empty and black." He went that away." Said kaity,pointing. "Ah,thank you kaity." He chased after the monkey yelling: Stop! Don't bite it! Give it back! " Poor man.." Said kaity," I think I'll go help him,I've delt with that horrid little furball of a monkey before." Kaity ran off to join the chase,leaving Will and Gibbs behind. " How long has he been missing now?" Asked will. " Well,you remember when he was taken,so he's been gone about 3 weeks now.'' Said Gibbs. " Has kaity taken it all right?'' Will asked, " Well, she seems to have taken it okay,but I doubt she's glad about any of this." Said Gibbs," But she's strong,she once helped us tie down all the sail's in the middle of a hurracaine,climbed to the top of the main mast and lashed it down herself! Had anyone else tried it,they'de 'ave died." He had a fatherly glint in his eye," I remember when I first saw her, and jack didn't know what to name her,so I suggested that he name her Kaity Scarlett,me mother's name it was." Gibbs said proudly. Kaity and Raghetti came running past they were both yelling the same: Stop! Don't bite it! Give it back!. " Aha!" kaity screamed. She grabbed the monkey by the tail and held it fast," Can't get away now can you!?" They took the monkey and removed the eye from it's mouth. Raghetti cleaned it off and put it back in," I am personally going to kill that wreched beast someday,mark my words!" He said. " I'll help!" Said kaity. Everybody sat down and began to talk about the awful experiences they had with the monkey: " When I was younger," Said Gibbs," I tried to drown it,but because it was cursed,it wouldn't die." " It would just spring out of the water screeching at the top of his lungs." Will laughed. "I tried to strangle it," Said Raghetti," But it bones would just snap,it wouldn't die." Then with smile he added: " And the bones just grew right back!" After it got dark,the crew ate below deck,and then went to sleep. Kaity slept in the storage room with the key so she could gaurd the rum. (They had to dump barbossa over the edge to). A little after everyone was asleep,kaity got up,locked the door and crept silently up to the main deck. Will was standing at the helm,swaying slightly with the rocking of the ship. '' Kaity!" He said," What are you doing up here?'' "Couldn't sleep." She ansewred. "Will?" She asked. " Yes?" he said. " Have you ever lost someone that meant a lot to you?'' A few tears slid down kaity's face. " Yes.'' Said will,apparently sad as well. " My father." He said,plainly. " he is still alive,but at an awful price." His look said all that kaity needed to know. " He's on the "Flying dutchman" Isn't he?" Said kaity. Will nodded. " Awful,I would rather get eaten by a shark or something." Stated kaity. '' You are a lot braver than people would think,kaity.'' said will," You are small,and thin,but you seem to have a good hold on things." Kaity appeared rather flattered. " Thank you will." She opened her mouth to say something else,but she said no more and went back to bed.END OF PART ONE |
