Governor Swann was in shackles, and was sent below deck of the Flying Dutchman. Davy and Norrington surrounded him, and Lord Beckett stood behind them.
"Let me go! Why are you doing this?!" Swann asked Beckett. Beckett grinned.
"I hear your daughter and the Black Pearl's crew is going into Davy Jones' Locker to save Jack. We can't have that, can we?" Beckett questioned.
"What's that got to do with me?" Swann asked him again.
"Your daughter's a pirate. So sorry, but we can't have you serve with us if you are related with a pirate," Beckett nodded at Norrington and Davy. They pulled out their cutlasses and stabbed Swann over and over. Beckett stood there watching.
Elizabeth woke from the terrible nightmare, and found herself lying in the grass. She stood up quickly, and realized she was not in human form. Or in the real world. She looked at the sky, and it was neither light, nor dark. She was in the Twilight Realm. Her white coat gleamed, and she trotted into an open field. She shook her body, but couldn't change back into human form. She looked around her.
"Jack?! Where are you? Lee? Gibbs? Barbossa? Hello?" she called out. She thought for a quick moment. She was a wolf, so she could easily get help. She sat down, and howled to the sky. She listened intently. She smiled as she heard answers from other wolves. She kept howling. Then she stopped, for she heard footsteps behind her. Her instincts kicked in, and she growled deeply, warning whatever was behind her.
"Elizabeth?" It was Jack.
"Jack!" she shouted with glee. She ran over to him, and she was very surprised to find what she saw. There stood Jack, a gray wolf, with a rare tint of brown around his neck.
"I guess you changed into a wolf too. Why am I a wolf?" he asked her.
"I think every human that comes down here turns into a wolf. Since you don't have any powers, you're just an ordinary gray wolf. But I guess that brown fur around your neck symbolizes your importance, since you're married to me," Elizabeth explained. Jack just stared at her.
"How do you know so much, luv?" he asked.
"I don't really know." She paused. "So, where are the others?"
"Oh, Gibbs and Ragetti are right here," he said. Ragetti and Gibbs were just gray wolves, but Ragetti still had a wooden monocle as an eye.
"Look! It never pops out!" Ragetti spun in circles, like he was chasing his tail. Elizabeth giggled. They froze when the heard a strong howl, from very close nearby. Elizabeth stared in shock as a red wolf trotted towards them. Jack deeply growled.
"Welcome to the Twilight Realm," said the red wolf. His voice was so familiar to her.
"I had a dream where the black wolf told me to see the red wolf, so he can answer all of my questions," Elizabeth said suddenly. The red wolf grinned.
"You already have asked questions, and I answered them." Elizabeth ran to the red wolf, and looked him strait in the eye.
"Barbossa!?" Elizabeth asked. He nodded.
"So, you lied to me? You said you didn't know who the red wolf was!"
"Well, I couldn't tell you. I'd given you so much information, that I didn't want to overwhelm you," he explained sarcastically. Her anger disappeared.
"Well it's nice to see you," she said smiling. "So, did you lie about not knowing who the black wolf was"
"No, I didn't lie. I really don't know who the black wolf is." All of a sudden, they heard a deep, strong, almost monstrous howl. Elizabeth stood up.
"Come on, follow me!" she ordered. She sprinted across the field, and Jack, Gibbs and Ragetti tried to follow. She was too fast. Barbossa got in front of her, and stopped her.
"Whoa now, Elizabeth! Don't ya think I should be leading you around? I've been here before, don't forget, and I know the land"
"Well, let's follow that howl. I recognize it."
"You don't 'ave to," Ragetti commented. Elizabeth and Barbossa turned, and were face to face with the black wolf.
"You wolves are much to slow. I'll have to train you to run at fast speeds without losing too much energy," the black wolf teased in a deep voice. The monstrous beast towered over them, muscles easily noticeable. Its jaws were massive, and its eyes were piercing, yet calm.
"Nice to see you again, my friend!" Barbossa bellowed happily. "It's been a while"
"Actually, I've been with you for the last couple of weeks," the black wolf explained. Barbossa felt confused. Jack walked up to the black wolf, and studied him. Jack grinned widely.
"I can't believe it! How come you didn't tell me?" Jack questioned.
"I didn't think you would've liked me that much, Captain," he replied.
"Lee!?!" Barbossa inquired quizzically. He nodded.
"Didn't know that I was the black wolf, huh? Well, don't feel bad. I didn't know you were the red wolf." Lee paused, and looked at Elizabeth. "But I knew you were the white wolf"
"How?" Elizabeth asked.
"I sensed great power when I first met you. When those men attack the inn you were staying at, I would've ran. But, I knew you had some power, and didn't want to leave you, so I stuck around." Lee looked at Jack's face. "And, of course, I became fond of Jack, so that made me want to stay all the more!" Jack smiled.
"Who knew that you could be the black wolf?! The leader of the Guardians, and the army of Felsh!!" Barbossa exclaimed.
"Felsh?" Elizabeth queried.
"Yes, Felsh is the land of the wolves. That's where we must be going. It's too dangerous out here in the open of Holosh Field. Let us go," Lee started to turn around.
"Wait! There are other creatures and kingdoms in this Realm? Good and Evil?!" Elizabeth asked.
"Of course. That's why we have an army," Lee explained. Elizabeth shot an angry look at Barbossa. He smiled sheepishly back at her. Lee heard a horse trot, so told them to be silent.
"Elruwen! What news do you have for me?" Lee asked her. The beautiful young girl smiled as she sat on her white horse. Her black hair silhouetted against the pale sky like a shadow. But, she had pointy ears, which seemed very odd to Elizabeth.
"Yes I have Lee. My queen sent me to tell you that your queen needs to speak with you," her eyes wandered to Elizabeth, and she stared in shock, excitement, and fear, all at the same time. "Why….it's the princess! Oh, it's so nice to meet you! But, you must get out of here!" She turned to Lee. "The Morgolraths are on the move." Lee's face darkened.
"Oh no. How many?" Elruwen hesitated.
"In the hundreds." Lee turned to Elizabeth.
"We must get you to Felsh immediately!" He looked back to Elruwen and bowed slightly. "Have a safe journey home, my friend. I shall see you soon."
"Another day," Elruwen smiled slightly. She rode off, and Lee nudged Elizabeth forward.
"Let's move!" Lee shouted, and sprinted off, Barbossa following close behind. Elizabeth ran, trying to keep an eye on Jack, and then Lee.
They passed over many hills and under many evergreens as they reached the border. When they passed some boulders, they slowed down. Elizabeth had never sprinted for that long before. She looked behind her, and Jack was just passing the boulders, and Ragetti and Gibbs were passing the evergreens on the border.
"I told you three are too slow. We'll have to work on it." Lee came to Elizabeth. "You did pretty well for your first jog. Keep it up, and you'll do fine in this Realm"
"A jog?! You call that a jog?!" Elizabeth asked, out of breath.
"Actually, yes. When you have to journey, or you're in battle, you'll have to run faster, and for longer periods of time. That was nothing," Lee explained. Ragetti collapsed on the cold, moist ground. Barbossa chuckled as he walked away.
"Where are you going?" Gibbs asked.
"Into Felsh, of course! Do you honestly think that we're going to stay right by the border? Come."
They all followed Lee and Barbossa farther into the land of Felsh. Elizabeth gasped at the beautiful sight. Snow powdered the ground, and a great black stone castle stood tall behind the homes of thousands of wolves. A young, handsome gray wolf, about the age of Elizabeth, noticed their arrival. He approached Elizabeth, and smiled.
"Welcome to the kingdom of Felsh, Princess."
