Hey! I'm back everyone after two years, would you believe that? Well, you could continue reading the next chapters, but I'd like to let you know that I've made a bit of changes in the first few chapters. Still, the plot is the same and it continues now! Oh and I don't own anything in POTC. (Do I have to say that all the time? It's been two years!) - Well read on!

CHAPTER 1: ONE NIGHT AT SEA

It was a peaceful night on sea. There was no need of any steering. Captain Jack Sparrow left the wheel to a shipmate and went down to one of the cabins. He entered and found a man emptying his luggage.

"Doing well?"

Will turned around and smiled at Jack, "Everything's going well, Jack. I'm really so grateful that you accepted us in your ship."

"Don't mention it! Remember, I owe ye my life. This is my best way to repay ye. And anyway, old Jack's got a lot of spare rooms in this huge ship."

Will sat down on his bed and remained silent. Jack followed him and sat beside his friend.

"Are you sure everything is fine, Will? You look troubled…"

"Well, nothing in particular. I'm just worried about Elizabeth. She hasn't quite recovered from her shock at her father's words. I can't believe her father can do such a cruel thing: disowning her, and to think that I was the cause of all this misery."

"Of course it's not you're fault lad, don't blame yourself for everything. Be strong, Will! She's pregnant now and she needs more of your support. If you give up now what will happen to Elizabeth?"

"You're right. I better go see her if she needs anything. Thanks for the piece of advice, Jack."

"No problem. If you need help, just call for me or better yet, call for Annamaria. We men have little knowledge about these pregnant stuff."

Willnodded and left for another room just around the corner. He entered and found Elizabeth sitting on her bed with a book on her lap.

"How's the room, Elizabeth? Do you feel comfortable enough?"

"The room is wonderful! It's so thoughtful of Jack to include us in his ocean trips. Now that we're here, I find the sea more quiet and peaceful." Elizabeth gave out a loud sigh.

Will agreed with her. Ever since Elizabeth had her premarital baby, everyone, including her father, despised her. There was nothing he can do to help her. He IS just a blacksmith. Indeed, if it hadn't been for Jack, they would have been stuck in Port Royale suffering the criticisms for the rest of their lives.

"True. If it hadn't been for Jack, you would still be in Port Royale living like a slave." Will blurted out.

"Will! How could you say that? Are you blaming yourself for all the hardships we have gone through?"

"I AM the cause of all this! Maybe if you have decided to marry the Commodore you will live a better life than the one you have now."

"I can't believe you're giving up so soon! And to think that I never gave up on you!" Elizabeth shut the book loudly and stared hard at Will. "Fine. If that's the way you want, then you better tell Jack to sail back to Port Royale and leave me there. I would rather live alone with my child than spend my life with someone who regrets knowing me!"

Will remained silent, suddenly realizing that they had broken into a terrible fight.

"Will, all that has happened is not your fault. It is my choice. Now that I have chosen you, I accept anything that will happen: good or bad. In seven months we'll be having the baby. I don't want to lose you, Will. Think of our child. Think of his future. He needs a father to love him and guide him through his life."

"I'm sorry I lost my temper, Elizabeth. So many things happened these days, I felt confused myself. I promise I will be with you for the rest of my life."

There was silence as the pair held each other's hands.

"What's that you're reading?" Will tried to change the topic.

"Oh, it's a book I found in a shop back in Port Royale. I just finished it. It's all about…"

But before Elizabeth can continue, they heard hurrying footsteps above them.

"What's going on?" Elizabeth asked.

"I have no idea. I'll check it out. I'll come back for you in a short while. In the meantime, just stay here. Don't go anywhere." Will reminded as he closed the door behind him.

When he ran into the deck, he ran face to face with a bunch of awful looking pirates. Behind them stood the crew of the Black Pearl and he found a toothless pirate dragging a struggling Jack Sparrow. Instantly, Will moved a few steps backward but was stopped by two more ugly pirates. They caught him by the shoulder and dragged him in front of the group of pirates. A man of great height stood out. He had an earring pierced to his nose and he had tattoos all over his body.

"Well who do we have here… Turner himself! We're having a grand reunion tonight. Ok now let me see…Jack Sparrow, check, Will Turner, check. There's still one missing. Ah, I almost forgot, Miss Swann."

"There be no woman in my ship, Tom Smith. Ye know we don't allow women onboard." Jack said immediately.

"Oh, indeed. No Elizabeth Swann here you say! Very well, boys, search the ship."

"By the way," the man said as some of the pirates scattered in searching, "the name is Captain Tom Smith. As you see, I was one of Barbossa's crew before."

The pirates holding onto Will threw him aside and he fell down on the floor just beside Jack. Jack gave him an apologetic look.

"They attacked by surprise. We were not prepared."

Will simply nodded. There was nothing else to say. Now, all he worried about is Elizabeth. After a few minutes, a pirate dragged Elizabeth from below. He threw her on the floor, causing Elizabeth to wince.

"Leave her alone!" Will and Jack shouted at once.

"And why should I do that?" Smith answered.

"All you seek is revenge. Then kill me and take the Black Pearl with ye. Just let the others free." Jack retorted.

"Well Captain Sparrow, I find no reason why I should listen to you. Anyway, I am the captain of this ship now." Tom Smith smirked and aimed his knife at Elizabeth's throat.

"Any last words?"

Elizabeth's mind spun. She can't just die like that. She has a child within her. She still has a long way ahead. Suddenly, a thought struck her.

"The code! What's that again? Sot… sot…Sotat d' adun!"

"Sorry missy. I know no such code."

"It can't be, the book says it can save a person from…"

"Enough nonsense! Say your prayers." Tom Smith roared at her.

As he raised his knife ready to strike, the sky suddenly turned gray. The dark clouds above covered the entire shining moon. A fog had formed covering the whole ship. Smith stopped and stared at Elizabeth. A bright blue light had encircled her whole body. Suddenly, the light broke apart and scattered around the whole ship. Everyone shaded their eyes from the bright glare. Tom Smith looked back at Elizabeth and found her lying on the same spot, lifeless. Will was the first to react. He ran to Elizabeth's side, trying to wake her up. She was dead, it can't be.

"What are you up to now Sparrow? Is this one of your jokes?" Tom Smith was red with anger. He pulled out his pistol and, before Jack could stop him, aimed a shot on Will's back. Will fell down on the floor instantly, blood dripping from his back.

Jack was shocked and crawled to the two bodies.

"Will, Will. Wake up, man, wake up!" he shook him.

Suddenly, Will shot up and sat up straight, shocking both Jack and Tom Smith.

"Will, what are you… Jesus Christ! Your back, the wound… it's gone, Will!"

Will straightened up and felt his back. Indeed the wound was gone. While the whole lot was concentrating on the mystery of Will's wound, Gibbs sneaked up from behind and stabbed at Tom Smith. None of Tom's men dared move. Tom became stiff for a moment. But miraculously, he regained his usual strength and with all his might pulled out Gibbs' dagger. All of them gasped. Had they become immortal? It's impossible! Some pirates even stabbed each other to see if they really had become immortal. (A/N So stupid aren't they?) Tom Smith himself was astounded. He moved away from Jack in horror.

"This can't be. You shall pay for this, Jack Sparrow!" He turned around and motioned his men to leave for their ship.

Slowly, the evil pirates filed out. Jack stood up and heaved a great sigh. By his looks, he felt very relieved. He started to call out to his crew to go to bed, but everyone stared at him in disbelief. That was when he remembered the incident a while ago. Jack turned around and found his best friend kneeling right beside his loved one.

"Will, I… I…" For the first time in his life, Jack Sparrow felt empty and speechless.

Indeed, there was nothing left to do. Elizabeth died, with the baby inside her. Jack watched painfully as Will buried his face into his hands and broke into tearful sobs.
