Chapter Twelve: Sword Fight
A bird was singing a light song to its lover somewhere on the island, waves were splashing along the beach making sweet music with the tide, and Elizabeth Swan and Jack Sparrow were sleeping on the bed all cuddled up together. Jack was snoring slightly and Elizabeth was breathing deeply in the same rhythm. Jack had his arms wrapped around Elizabeth's middle, one leg laying over hers. He had stolen all the covers during the night, but this didn't matter, as his body was giving off enough heat for the both of them.
Elizabeth was dreaming again, only this time, the dreams were not nightmares; they were sweet, sensual, pleasurable things. This particular dream had rum and chocolate mixed with a certain pirate captain and just when she was to the point of drinking the rum out of his mouth, Jack gave a tremendous snore and jolted Elizabeth awake. She looked over at him and smiled. He was so cute when he was asleep. He didn't have his mask of cool unconcern, he wasn't staggering around like a drunken idiot, he was just Jack.; a good man, a handsome pirate, an exquisite lover.
Knowing she would get no more sleep at this time, Elizabeth started to slowly move Jack's arm from her waist and climbed out of bed, but a strong hand grabbed her wrist
"Just where do you think you're going love?
"I'm going to get food, do you hear my stomach growling?"
Instead of answering, Jack pulled her back down on top of him. He opened his chocolate eyes and looked at her.
"You're hungry? Here's some breakfast for you…", and he kissed her so hard that all thoughts of food left her brain until all she could think about was Jack and his lips.
"Can we please get something to eat, now?"
"Am I not enough to satisfy your hunger?"
His voice told her he was teasing her, trying to get a rise out of her, and she knew it shouldn't bother her, but damn it she hadn't had a single thing to eat since she had taken a bath yesterday. She growled low in her throat, a warning that Jack should not be aggravating her right now and he took this warning very seriously as he immediately got out of bed, disappeared for a minuet or two and came back with a bushel of bananas and various other fruits. Elizabeth sat up in bed and took the bananas. She started directly at Jack as she slowly peeled it and took the first bite, and at the look on his face laughed and choked and coughed. She loved teasing him and then pulling back at the last second because it was payback for the many times he teased her about something.
She quickly finished her sad breakfast and got dressed. She wanted to do something today, something productive. The whole time they had been stuck on this island, they had done nothing towards the cause of getting off it. Elizabeth didn't want to live here forever. It was a dismal place, and bad memories had recently been formed here. Elizabeth needed to get her mind off of everything, from the death of Will to losing her virginity to Jack, not that this was a bad thing, she just wanted to do something that wasn't drastically extreme. So she grabbed her sword and went out of the hut to the beach and began fencing with and invisible partner.
Jack watched her the whole time, and he saw that she was a very good swashbuckler, but she needed a good teacher to help her become amazing. An idea struck him and he grabbed his sword and went down to where she was. He jumped in with her rhythm of fighting and within minuets had her easily pinned to the ground.
"Damn. Why are you so good?"
"Cause I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."
Elizabeth grunted. It wasn't fair that he beat her so quickly. She was a good swordsman, but he was just better. Jack watched as she got up, a sour expression marring her beautiful features.
"You want me to teach you?"
"What?"
"Do you want me to teach you how to sword fight?"
"I know how, thank you."
"You're good, but I can make you great."
"Fine. Teach me all you know."
Jack smiled as he put his sword up to her throat.
"First lesson. Always watch what the other is doing. Never take your eyes off of him or her for a second as it could cause your death."
He moved his sword from its position at Elizabeth's throat as she glared at him.
"Now, show me all that you've got."
And she did. They fought for hours and each time Jack won but each time it was getting harder and harder to beat her. When it started to get dark, Elizabeth called a truce so that she could go bathe again as she was sweaty and most likely smelled awful.
"Can I join you?"
"No." Elizabeth turned her back on the disgruntled figure of Jack and sashayed to the clearing so she could have some well deserved me time.
