What The Heart Wants Most

So...this happened. Got a bit of dialogue in my head that wouldn’t come out, Hope you all enjoy! 

“She never stopped being the one you wanted, did she? Ol’ Norri,” Jack drawled as he crossed the decks toward James, making the latter quickly avert his eyes elsewhere to avoid Elizabeth’s notice. She was far too quick in the ear and eye, and it seemed Jack Sparrow was just the same.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he replied, avoiding the gaze of the pirate captain and staring out to open sea. There was something comforting and familiar about the waves crashing against the hull of the ship, sea birds flying past, and the promise of more life in the water below. It brought him back, for a moment, to happier times, a life he had lived and loved before it was all torn apart by the sea and the pirate standing beside him with a saucy grin that made James want to shoot him.

“The girl. Lovely little Governor’s daughter,” he said, trying and failing to keep the bit of condescension, like he was talking to a child instead of a seasoned Navy man, out of his voice. “Remember when I met you both. The way you looked at her, then...the compass.” As if on cue, the said compass emerged from Jack’s pocket, the top flipped off. While it seemed to spin aimlessly while in Jack’s hand, it stopped and fixated directly on Elizabeth the moment it was placed in James’ hand.

James rolled his eyes, snapping the top down just as he did the first time he examined it. “The compass that doesn’t work. I don’t see your point, Sparrow.”

Jack pressed the compass closer into James’ hand, opening it up again. “Doesn’t point north, mate. Just the thing you want most, which is her. Go get her. I’m rooting for you, mate!”

As Jack walked away, he turned back toward Elizabeth. Wondering what might have been if he had the courage to speak up again.

For @jimothy-norrington

A choice of love and adventure, or devotion and safety. A lifelong friend, or a constant companion.

Elizabeth Swann is at a crossroads. Who will she choose?

So...yeah, this is yet another idea of what could have happened at one particular point in Curse of the Black Pearl. If people actually TALKED (or in this case LISTENED) what ideas could come? What could change?

Chapter three is here! 

While James recovers at home with family, Elizabeth remembers and comes to a sharp realization.

For all the ladies of the Norribeth discord. This is for you with love and pain. <3
