Ok, today I'm gonna skip the mood, music thing and go straight to the story.

Chapter 5

"So," I murmured in her ear, "Which vein should I bite?" Her muscles tensed as if she was about to push me away. Hm, opposite reactions; maybe these two humans were different than I had thought. Then again, she was female. He was male. Different genders, different reactions. I chuckled; she flinched.
"Just kidding, poppet," I whispered, stepping back. Louder, I said, "I only bite males--the cowards don't even deserve to be called men--and even then it's only the bishonen, pretty boys, like him." I jerked my thumb at the crumpled form behind me on the sand. Elizaveth sagged, probably in relief that I hadn't bitten her.
"Anyway," I continued, shrugging, "What importance is he to you?"
"He's the only one whou's gotten of this island before."
"Oh, really? How d'you know it wasn't some other island, luv?"
"I heard Barbosa--the current captain of the Black Pearl--say it when he marooned us here. That man who you so callously killed--"
"Whoa, whoa there, luv. I didn't kill him, I just--"
"As I was saying," she broke in, "That man is Captain Jack Sparrow and my only chance of getting home."
"Like i was saying before you interrupted me, li'l miss captain's wench, he's not dead. I know my own body, and my blood-drinking limit is four pints. I also know that the amount of blood and adult human can lose before dying is five pints. So ya see, I di'nt kill 'im. His blood just needs some time ta replenish; but I c'n speed up the process if ya want."
Elizabeth only nodded.
"All right then, poppet. Just stand back an' watch this."
I knelt by Jack's prone form, but before I could do anything more, I realized something.
"Jack...my little brother's name is Jack--waitaminnit! 'Lizabeth, what did you say Jack's last name is?"
"Sparrow, Captain. He's Captain Jack Sparrow."
"Oh. My. God," I gasped, "I guess--I guess I--I should get on with this then." I turned back to Jack. His shirt was open at the collar, shoiwng the top half of his chest. Now, I'm no pervert, but I could have stared at that man's chest forever.
"Miss? Captain? Are you all right?" Elizabeth's voice jolted me back to the real world. I looked at Jack's face; he'd lost a bit of his sallow, deathly pallor and his eyes were no longer staring blindly at the air, but half-shut. Good, his blood had begun to replenish; I really hadn't killed him. nodding at this, I opened his shirt so it slid off his shoulders. I brought my hand up to my mouth and bit down hard until I could taste my own blood. With a sweeping gesture I smeared it on Jack's chest; one long streak from his left shoulder down to his right hip. As I laid both my hands on his heart, or at least near his heart, I turned some of my attention inward and muttered to myself.
"Hm, this might leave a scar, but, unlike some scars, I think it'll enhance his good looks."
"What was that, Captain?"
"Hm?" I looked up at Elizabeth, who was now standing about a foot away, "Oh, nothin' Liz, poppet. Jus' talkin' to myself."
Turning back to Jack I smudged a bit of the blood with the heel of my hand.
"There we go," Imuttered, "Only one thing left to do," the volume of my voice rose and Elizabeth kinda jumped, "Baruch atah Adoshem, mi ropheh cholim u mechayeh meitim! Mechayeh chai l'ish hazeh!"
A moment later, Jack opened his eyes and sat up. He blinked a few times, his fingertips brushed the scar my revival spell had left, and muttere,
"What happened? why am I sitting on the ground? And where'd this scar come from?"
Giving a rather girly squeal for one of my stature, I flung my arms round his neck.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're alive!"
"Huh? Who're you?" He turned to Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth, luv, who is this crazy lady?"
I heard a thump. Releasing Jack, I turned in the direction of the sound. Elizabeth lay sprawled in the sand, unconscious.
"Aw, blast! I shoulda known this was gonna happen," I mumbled, "She fainted. Too much stress in one afternoon. C'mon, Cap'n Sparrow, be a gentleman. Pick up the lady an' follow me ta my camp."
