This takes place after AWE, minus the 10 years later part after the credits where Will comes home. Please review, and I'll write more soon :)

There was a giant compass sitting in the middle of the sand on that island that she and Jack were on together a few years ago

There was a giant compass sitting in the middle of the sand on that island that she and Jack were on together a few years ago. It kept spinning and spinning until suddenly it stopped. The compass pointed out toward the ocean. She looked up to see the Black Pearl with a kraken's giant arms wrapped around it. Her heart felt like it was pounding out of her chest. Jack, sword in hand, trying to fight off the kraken with no avail.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Lizzie screamed, running until she got to the water, swimming toward the Pearl.

The kraken swallowed Jack. And Elizabeth screamed once more, feeling numb. She had stopped breathing, and soon her she couldn't fight it off any longer, and her eyes closed. Like a movie without sound, all the memories she and Jack shared were now playing in her head. Then finally, all she saw was darkness.

Elizabeth's eyes opened. She was in her bed, her body drenched with sweat. It took for what felt like hours to catch her breath.

Suddenly, her son William III entered her room, "William!" she said, "why are you in here?"

"Mum, you were screaming bloody murder. I needed to make sure you were alright," her 8 year old son said, his hazel eyes shining brightly like always. But something was different about them….they reminded her of someone. Then she suddenly remembered that Jack had hazel eyes.

Elizabeth decided to give William the truth, "I-I-I…..you see, William…er…." She just didn't know exactly how to tell him.

"What is it, Mum?" William asked.

"I'm not quite sure if I'm alright," Elizabeth said slowly.

William had a bewildered expression on his face, "What's that s'posed to mean?"

"Darling, I….I had a dream…..it was so…real. It was about…"

"Father?!" he asked, excited.

"No, no. Someone else," Elizabeth said, panicking. She had never told William about Jack. She couldn't tell him just yet.

"Who?" Will asked, suddenly full of curiousity.

"No one you know, William," Elizabeth said fast, running her sweaty hands nervously through her hair.

"Mum!" William whined, "who is it?"

"Enough, William James Turner! It's still dark, and you need some sleep" she snapped. And he walked away without a word, and closed the door softly behind him.

Once she couldn't hear her son footsteps any longer, she buried her face into her pillow and cried herself to sleep.

Even though she had decided that being a pirate was part of the past, she desperately wanted to see Jack.
