Chapter 2: Will and I

Kate's POV

I was so excited to see Ashley, yet I knew I wanted Will. Yes, great plan, go talk to Turner.

I walked outside onto the little porch on Tia Dalma's hut.

"Will?"

"Who is it?"

"Kate. Um...I know we don't really know each other but...I think what you're doing, trying to save your father from Jones, is very brave."

"Oh...well, anyone would do it; wouldn't you?"

"That's why I came back for Ashley. I wanted to fight for her. You know, our father, is very worried about us."

"How? Did you leave him?"

"No...well, yes, but not meaning to. To save Ashley I mean."

"How did she end up here?"

"Well, probably the same way I ended up here, not meaning to. I guess."

"Oh, well, then I guess we better save Jack."

"That's not why I came out here."

"Well-"

"I came out here so I can get to know you better." I said as I went inside and left Will alone. Everyone was sleeping. I guessed. Sprawled out in different places in the hut. Well, I guess I better sleep too. I picked a spot near Ashley and Elizabeth, somewhere in the middle, and drifted off to sleep.


Nearly a month had passed, and many of the crew were becoming restless. Tia Dalma had managed to recruit many of her fellow islanders, giving them a full crew, but the island people were obviously inexperienced sailors. Oftentimes at night the sounds of their strange acerbic chanting could be heard, creating a general unease amongst many.

"It's bad luck, I tell ya," Gibbs said uncomfortably to Will. "They could be cursing our very journey."

Out of all of us, it was Barbossa and Tia Dalma who seemed the most at peace, then came Ashley and I. Cause of course we knew EVERYTHING.

Several days into our journey, Will had cornered Elizabeth, his hands gently holding her shoulders as if to anchor her in place. But she backed away. So I took advantage of the opportunity.

"Will."

"Kate?"

"Yeah, I was thinking about you."

"Uh-"

"Sorry, it's just that I admire your will to rescue Jack, and well, I know it's hard."

"Oh, well, I suppose that being away from your father is hard also. And with Ashley gone from you must be hard back when- you..."

"I know." I said, stopping him from saying anything awkward.
