A/N: I've posted this story before, but I've decided after about a year to edit and repost it because there were far to many mistakes for my liking. It's basically the same, just revised better and written better for those of you who read the other one. Now that its summer, I'll have more time to update too. :) Please read and review. For meee?? Fear not, it might be a little slow to begin with, but the other chapters will get longer. Promise! :)

Pairing: Sparrabeth, J/E, Jack and Elizabeth all the way!

Disclaimer: Do not own any characters no matter how much I wish I could.

CHAPTER 1

(Starting from the point of the movie when the crew, including Jack, is stuck in the locker trying to figure the way out.)

It was a quiet and uneventful night on the Black Pearl. The water in the seemingly inescapable locker was eerily calm, quite the opposite of the hopeless crew at the moment. Elizabeth, deep in thought, was leaning against the main mast, occasionally making eye contact with Jack, who was steering his beloved ship through the never-ending ocean. As the crew worked around her, she heard the unmistakable sound of boots approaching. It was none other than her fiancé looking as if he had urgent news to tell her.

"Elizabeth, I have something I would like to discuss with you," Will said in a decidedly featureless tone.

She gave him a small nod and followed him to the side of the ship, nervous as to what he was going to say to her. They leaned against the railing, while Will was gathering his jumbled thoughts together in his mind.

"Perhaps you know the topic of our conversation," he said frigidly, involuntarily glancing at Jack.

"I can assure you that I have no idea", Elizabeth replied cautiously, refusing to meet her visibly upset fiancé's eyes, and instead fixing her eyes on the vast dark ocean.

Breaking the uncomfortable moment of silence, Will desperately stated," I saw it, I saw you kiss him." He glanced to the ground for a moment before looking at her again.

Yet another painful silence set itself in place before either of them spoke again.

"How could you do that to me Elizabeth?" He took a moment to consider his next statement, and finally, he said painfully, "I thought you loved me."

Tears springing to her eyes at the hurtful words of her raging fiancé, Elizabeth turned to walk away but was grabbed by the wrist with an unusually strong grip pulling her face to face with him.

"How can you just walk away from me as if nothing happened," Will questioned, fury slowly gnawing away at his self-control more and more.

Ready to explain herself, Elizabeth said," I thought-", but was cut off by a painfully tingling sensation in her right cheek. She turned her face back to Will with a shocked expression.

His countenance showed immense regret for the pain he had just caused her.

"Elizabeth", he whispered, voice aching with regret.

She raised her hand up steadily, tears making their way down her face, ready to smack Will for what he had done, but lowered her hand. She refused to go as low as he had. By the look on her face, you could tell that she was furious for the stupidity of her Fiancé. Will touched her arm in an apologetic motion, but Elizabeth immediately pushed it away.

"Go," Elizabeth said through clenched teeth, far to angry to even consider his apologies. Jack angrily gripped the spokes of the helm causing his knuckles to turn white.

Will shot Elizabeth a remorseful glance before walking below deck, leaving Elizabeth by the railing, tears rolling down her cheeks. Jack, looking on at the angering occurrence, watched as Elizabeth ran below deck, the opposite side Will went down.

"Take the helm," commanded Jack moments later, following the path that Elizabeth had taken.
