Elizabeth went back to Port Royal and had a child named Edwin whose father was Will. Will and Lizzy are happily married and Will is the captain of the Flying Dutchman while Lizzy is just a housewife. Please remember throughout the story that Will can only come on land once every decade. Lizzy decides to resign from being Pirate King because her child is now her main responsibility and would rather stay home. Knowing this the Pirate Lords had an emergency meeting to vote on the next Pirate King. Jack (one of the 8 Pirate Lords) didn't show up because he was too busy drinking his rum and having women in Tortuga therefore the other 7 voted on the next Pirate King without him. They all choose a woman by the name of Francesca Hawk who was a very good and brave pirate. Francesca would stand up for what she thought was right no matter the consequences. Her swordsmanship and gun skills were impeccable making her the perfect choice for the job. Once finding out who the new Pirate King was Jack got very angry and demanded a recount which the rest of the pirate Lords agreed on one condition which was that Jack must meet Francesca then in 5 days choose who he wants to be Pirate King.

Jack paced angrily back and forth on the deck of his ship trying to find a way out of this situation but couldn't think of one. Therefore he agreed to have Francesca come and meet him and within five days decide his vote. Jack, being the pirate he is wanted to vote for himself because he thought of no one who was better then he.

Jack's POV

I angrily marched my way back to my cabin, slammed the door, then sat on my old wooden stool and thought to myself. I have better things to do than sit around and talk to a probably ugly, fat, stupid woman about how she is fit or not fit for this job, which she isn't. I am the best fit for this job. I have the best skills at everything that a Pirate King needs. Why didn't they just pick me?

I got up from my stool and walked out onto the deck of my Black Pearl where I saw Mr. Gibbs drunk as always at the helm.

"Mr. Gibbs", I said staring out into the deep blue sea.

"Yes Cap'n?", Gibbs answered back.

"I can take over for a bit while you go 'n eat somth'n.", I said pointing to the galley.

"Yes Cap'n.", he answered back and hurried down to eat with the rest of the crew.

As I stood there with both my hand clinched around the helm I thought about how this Francesca will look like and act. She surely won't be pretty by any means because she is a pirate and pirates aren't supposed to look attractive in anyway. Her attitude is probably really harsh and mean because in order for a woman to become a pirate she must have had a pretty bad passed which would make her mean and brutal to everyone around her. Most women want live a fairytale life where everything goes thee way they had pictured it in stories. What would make Francesca want to be a pirate? I kept on thinking about this for quite a while. What seemed to be minutes turned into hours. Then Mr.Gibbs walked up.

"Cap'n?", Gibbs said with a somewhat concerned look on his face.

"Yes, may I help you Mr.Gibbs?", I said as I began to turn to see what he was going to tell me.

"Do you need me to take over while you go 'n get some sleep?", Gibbs said as he began to walk up to the helm like he already knew what my answer was going to be.

"Yes, that sounds fine.", I said as I was still partially thinking about what to expect from Francesca.

I walked into my cabin discarded my swords, guns, and compass and laid them on the chair to the left of my dresser. I then collapsed on the bed and drifted into a deep sleep.

I opened my eyes and saw what look like a beautiful woman running hand in hand along my side. Then I looked back and saw around 30 men running after us swords raised and ready to fight. I began to run even faster still with this beautiful woman's hand in mine. Her hair was like gold that glistened in the sunlight and her eyes were the color of the sea with flakes of gold in them that looked extraordinary. Her figure was very fit. I would not say elegant but muscular and strong. This woman was practically perfect in every way possible. She and I were in what looked to be a rainforest of some kind. Trees were scaling above us and the color of dark green seaweed at the bottom of the ocean. When I looked even closer at who was chasing us I saw Barbosa leading the men. He too looked quite angry and ready to kill us both. Then all of a sudden the woman let go of my hand and stopped in her tracks letting the other 30 men catch up to her. I quickly tried to grab her hand but she push it away and I was going to die too if I stayed much longer because Barbosa and his men were gaining on us. I figured that my life would be more important to save then both of us dieing so I began to run again leaving her in the dust. As I turned to give one last look at this beautiful creature I saw a sword going straight threw her heart and she gave me a slight smile and slowly collapsed on the ground. Then, I woke up from this nightmare.

I opened my eyes and felt the warm Caribbean sun shining on my face. I thought about the nightmare I had last night and why Barbosa was chasing after us. Plus, who was this woman that was running hand in hand with me? The only thing I could think of was that I needed rum and fast.

I got out of my bed, got my accessories back on, got some rum and walked onto the deck. I went up to the helm took out my compass to see where we were headed to next but my compass wasn't working today. It kept on spinning and would never stop. I needed a heading, where was I going to go next? I decided to wait for a little while and see if my compass needed to readjust itself and if it didn't readjust itself in one hour I know exactly where to go, Tortuga.

An hour went by and my compass still didn't work. I was just about to tell the crew to pull the anchor and head for Tortuga when Mr.Gibbs started running (more like waddling) his way over to me.

"Cap'n!!!", he shouted from halfway across the deck.

"Yes Mr.Gibbs.", I answered back waiting impatiently for a reply as he had to stop and catch his breath.

"There is a ship in the distance sir and I think it's hers.", he answered back still huffing and puffing.

"Whose?", I said in an almost angry tone.

"Francesca's sir.", As a look of annoyance and anger crossed my face.
