Nora Raven in Dead Man's Chest

Feelings

Jack went to his chair and started drinking rum, he looked at me curiously. "What did you want to talk about?" He asked.

I sat on the bed and clenched my fists. "I need to-"

"What does this mean?" He asked me holding my journal, and pointing to a page I haven't read yet.

I shrugged taking it from him. "I dont know. I havent made it there yet. Now Jack -"

"Where did you get it?" He aksed.

I sighed. "My mother, it has been in the family for generations. Jack I want to-"

He smiled at me and interrupted again. I lost my patience. "Interesting. What language is it in?"

I clenched my fists and shouted at him. "I am in love with you!"

He stared at me dumbfounded and I realized, I said what I did not want to. He was still processing what was said. I ran out of the door before he could say anything. I ran to the deck and hid behind the barrels.

I started crying silently and heard someone say my name. "Ember." I looked at her and hugged her feet. "Liz!"

She bent down and wrapped her arms around me, and held me until I stopped.

I opened my eyes and saw I was in Jack's bed. I got confused and saw he was not there. I was thankful for that. I must have cried myself to sleep.

Did jack bring me in here? Oh well, time to get up. I thought.

I put my things on and opened the room door. Cautiously looked around, and I didn't see Jack, so I went to deck careful not to be seen by him. I saw at the wheel and sighed.

I went to the storeroom and got an apple. I took a bite out of it and Frida squawked. "Jack kiss."

I nearly choked at what she said, and panicked. "Frida, quiet!"

She turned on my shoulder and started bouncing up and down. I smiled and pet her. I finished my apple and went back the the main deck.

I went to the rail amd admired the sea. I was jealous on how much the sea could go through, but in the end remain the way it was before.

I heard Jack call my name "Ember-" I panicked. "I have to go talk to Gibbs!"

I ran away from him and went to Gibbs. "Hi!"

Gibbs jumped in surprise and I couldn't help, but giggle. "Sorry. What are you doing?"

He had a bottle of rum in his hand and looked at me with a brow raised. "Drinking rum."

I smiled at him and asked. "Is it good?"

He nodded confused. "Aye..."

I waved to him. "Okay, bye."

He looked at me unsure what that was about. I made eye contact with Jack and ran to Elizabeth.

I glomped her with a hug. "Liz! Fence with me!"

She looked at me confused, but agreed. "Sure."

I drew my sword and waoted for her to strike. She came at me and I smiled dodging it. We kept parrying and clashing our swords against one another.

I smiled at her and climbed on the railing of the ship. She struck me and I used my famous move. I jumped on her shoulder and used it for a leap. I flipped in the air and landed behind her putting the sword to her neck. She dropped hers bewilthered.

I laughed amd put mine away, wiping the sweat away from my face. "You did good, Liz, but it will take a little more to get me down. Thanks for the work out."

I went up to Gibbs and smiled. I took his bottle of rum and drank some of it. I gave it back to him and smiled. "Thanks."

I took my journal out of my coat pocket and went to read some more. I sat on the staircase and read through it. I noticed a shadow loomed over me. I saw Jack with his arms folded and jumped.

I had avoided him all morning. I am positive the crew knew I was too. I continued looking in my journal, pretending to read it.

Go away! Go away! Go away! I mentally yelled.

He took my journal and put it in his coat. I stood up in a hurry and whined. "Jack! Give it back."

He looked sternly at me and said. "Luv, let's talk."

I crossed my arms and huffed. "Never!" I descended down the stairs and walked away.

He came to me and grabbed my hand. "Ember, come on."

I yanked my hand away, spun around I took him and pressed him up against the mast of the ship. I used my arm keeping him in place. I smiled and closed my eyelids. It was clear my facial expression was forced. "I'm sorry, Jack. What did you want to talk about?"

I then opened my eyes and narrowed my eye at him. "You know, I said the exact same thing to you last night! You did not take it seriously."

I released my grip on him and looked down. "It hurts so much Jack. You do not realize..." I huffed and continued. "So no Jack. I will not-"

He crashed his lips on mine and put an end to my ranting. I pushed him away from me, slapped him across the face and spoke hurt. "Why do you do this to me? I can't be near you right now." Tears were swelling in my eyes, as Jack reached his arm out to me. "Luv. I-"

Elizabeth came over and slapped him across the other side of his face. face. She shielded me from him amd yelled at Jack. "Jack, leave her alone already! you've hurt her enough!"

Gibbs gaze went from me and then rested on Jack. "Aye, Cap'n. Its best to leave her be for awhile."

Jack sighed amd walked away from me. I hugged Elizabeth and fell to my knees exhausted. She helped me up and walked with me to the cabin.
