Stowaways and Unlikely Loves

Belle and Emma looked at each other with slightly worried eyes. They whispered to each other quietly and split up on the ship. The two had snuck aboard Captain Jack and William Turner's ship. The English girls living in the islands were looking for a free passage, far away. The men over the last few days had began to hear their slight noises and notice things moved slightly, currently they were searching the ship for what they believed were stowaways, male stowaways of course.

Belle sighed slightly as she moved behind the shelves of the rations room. It was past midnight William gritted his teeth as he entered the room, he was tired and hungry and not interested in looking for some deviant little boys. His head turned quickly as Belle knocked a bottle off the shelf. She cursed silently and tried to move in the small room but didn't have anywhere to go. When Will's back was turned she made a silent dash for the door, he felt the floor boards move and wiped around before she could exit. "My my what do we have here?" He said in suprise and he grasped the girls wrist, careful not to hurt her. Belle looked at him wordlessly.

"Let me go..." She finally muttered.

"Aye, you're on my ship!" He smiled, "Just be happy I found you before the men did." Will examined her. Her skin was tanned from the sun and her dark brown curls had red streaks, yes she was very lucky he found her and not the men. "Come with me." He said.

Belle didn't fight his hold and listened, in her mind she was planning her escape from where ever he was bringing her. Will sent a man to tell Jack he had found one of the stowaways. He led Belle to his chambers and let her go once they were inside and the door was locked. "You'll stay here with me for the night. I'm tired and Jack and I will figure out what to do about you and your friend in the morning."

"I was alone." She said instantly trying to protect Emma.

"No point in lying. One of the men saw you two a few nights ago. We thought him a drunk, rambling about nothing but clearly he was right." He replied.

Belle looked around, "We weren't trying to cause any trouble, you know?"

William nodded as he changed his shirt, catching Belle looking at his shirtless form he asked, "What is your name?"

"Belle."

"I'm William, well Will." He pulled the shirt over his chest. As he did this Belle noted that the key to the door was on a chain around his neck.

"Just sleep for now, aye? I'll figure out what to do with you in the morning." Will yawned.

Emma cursed silently as she watched Will and her friend walk away.

Jack yawned as he walked around the lower deck. He didn't feel like looking for a stowaway.

*&*

Belle grumbled, "Yeah sure."

He was pouring a drink when he heard a noise. He whipped around with his sword drawn. He was surprised to have on pointed at him too.

"Drop it." Emma snapped as she walked forward slightly.

Jack laughed, "Really love?" He tossed his sword from one hand to another, "Put the sword down sweetheart."

*&*

"Here you can sleep in these if you wish." William tossed her a long shirt and pants.

She rolled her eyes and put down the sword. What was the point of killing the captain of the ship? He didn't know who she was yet.

*&*

"Thank you." She muttered, slightly confused by his hospitality.

Jack took her arm, not too roughly, "Aye come on love."

*&*

William glanced at her slightly as she changed. Her whole side was bruised, it was rather gross. "Ouch how'd you get that love?" Will asked.

"From who would have been my future husband." Belle shrugged. She was a wealthy governor's daughter who ran away to escape an arranged marriage to a navy Captain. He was handsome and sometimes kind but mostly just controlling and ruthless, also she was twenty and full of life and he was thirty looking for the perfect little wife.

"I take it that's why you're on my ship?" Will raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Belle nodded.

Emma frowned as she let him lead her. She wasn't naive enough to think that he wouldn't just throw her over his shoulder if she refused.

*(*

"Well, we are letting you off in Tortuga." Will informed her softly.

"So what are you doing on my ship?" Jack grumbled.

*&*

Belle shook her head, "No you're not."

"Oh really?" Will raised an eyebrow.

She nodded her head, "Tortuga's going to be raided by the royal navy at the end of this week."

"That's none of your business." She replied curtly.

"Whose ship is this?" Jack responded.

"Yours." Emma replied softly.

"Meaning it would be my damned business."

*&*

"That's good to now." Will smiled slightly, "Got any more tidbits like that?"

Emma sighed, "I was just looking to get away for a bit." She lied.

*&*

"Maybe, if you keep me on board until you're far away from the Carribbean." Belle smirked.

Jack stared at Emma, "You're possibly the worst liar I've ever met."

She rolled her eyes and sat down. She sighed and pulled off her boots, "You want to know why? Because I sick and tired of being treated like a peasent because my FATHER was a pirate."

Jack smiled, "Mhm. And who might he be?" Emma smiled and pulled up her dress to show him a tattoo on her calf. It depicted a snake, a viper to be precise. Jack's eyes widened.

"You're Captain Viper's daughter?" He muttered to himself, "You need to get the hell off my ship!!"

*(*(

Will laughed, "I'm sure that could be arranged. So, Belle, I've got to sleep."

"So sleep." She rolled her eyes at him, causing him to laugh.

"I'm not sleeping on the floor. There was a day when I was kind enough to do that....but not anymore. SO, you can either sleep on the floor or in the bed. I don't care."

Emma sighed, "Relax."

"You need to get off my ship." Jack repeated a bit more calmly.

*&*

Belle climbed onto the bed.

"Suit yourself." William said.

Emma shrugged, "I'm not rowing myself anywhere. I believe you will find it better to leave me on this boat."

"It's a ship." Jack replied. Emma stood up and rulled off her dress, leaving the petticoats in place. Then she climbed into HIS bed and got comfortable.

"Either join me or just turn out that light. Thanks." Jack stopped leaning against his dresser and blew out the light. Then he walked out onto his balcony and climbed into his hammock. He was very wary of this woman.

*&*

He climbed in beside her.

Emma smirked slightly as she got comfortable in his bed.

*&*

William glanced at her. She was beautiful.

Jack stared out at the sea and sighed. He didn't know what to do with this woman.

*&*

She sighed as she tried to get comfortable.

But part of him wanted to go join her in bed.

*&*

William was intrigued by her.

"Ah. Fuck it." Jack muttered before he stood up. If he could win over the meanest whore in Tortuga, he would at least try for the daughter of the meanest pirate around.

(*(

"What?" She muttered suddenly.

She raised an eyebrow as he reentered the room.

*&*

He didn't say anything. He was decided whether or not to kiss her or not. I means he was a beautiful woman in his bed.

"Yes?" Emma smiled pleasantly. Jack looked at her for a moment and then walked across the room to her. He leaned down, a hand by her side, and kissed her softly. The chemistry was sudden and unexpected. So unexpected that it caused him to pull away. Her kiss had made him aware of everything. It was the most sensual kiss he'd ever had.

*&*

Finally, he leaned over and kissed her.

Emma's eyes widened a little. For once she wasn't sure what to do.

*&*

Belle thought about pushing him away but there was such a spark. Instead she leaned into the kiss more.

Their eyes locked for a few seconds, "Jack....I" She started to speak but whatever she was going to say was lost when they heard shouts on the deck.

"Love, I've gotta see what the commotions about." Jack couldn't help but stroke her face gently befor he stood up (and dressed if he wasn't still dressed. lol) and went out of the room.

*&*

She placed her hand on the side of his face.

"Sorry." William heard the noise as well. "Be right back." He rushed out.

He and Jack met up, "I found a stowaway." Will told him as they ran towards the commotion.

"Aye. So did I." Jack said it strangely but Will just let it go.
