Eliza's Point Of View
I cursed and pounded on the door until Jack finally came back into the cabin. "Girly, will you please stop pounding like that? You're distracting my men on the deck." He was complaining to me? Oh, I had something to say to him
"Let me out and I'll stop pounding, you idiotic NUMBSKULL." Jack sighed and leaned against the door.
"FINE. I suppose you don't have to do THIS..." I already knew what that meant. That was the 'you'll have to do something ELSE' line. Ass. "But you WILL have to do something else." Told you. "Hm..." He thought for a second, then a mischievous smile lit his face. "I know. Can you read a map, mate?" I nodded curtly.
"Yeah, I may know a thing or two." He smirked then rummaged through his closet. He dropped a heavy box onto his table meaningfully.
"Plot our next trip to Tortuga from here. I need to be there in a few days... so I suggest you make it fast." I looked at him, confused. Why did he want me to plot a map for him? He probably knew full well where to go.
"Why do you-"
"Girly, unless you want me to through whatever clothes you were wearing out into the sea, I suggest you start plotting." I raised an eyebrow at him, but picked up the pen, grabbed the compass he had left on the table, and unrolled the map.
The intricate markings and warnings looked old and I didn't want to make a mistake- opening to compass, I crinkled my brow as the thing spun round and round, confusing me. There were no markings on the thing, just the spinner. When it finally stopped, I thought I had gone mad.
It was pointing in the exact direction that we were sailing away from.
Heaving in a breath and promising myself that Jack Sparrow would freeze in hell if he blamed any mistakes on me because of this messed up compass, I started to plot the route.

"Girly, this thing is taking us everywhere!" Jack exclaimed, turning the map around and around to see if what he was seeing was right. "This will bloody well take us in a million circles! I thought you said you knew how to map."
I rolled my eyes and shrugged. "I do know how to map. Your compass is just... broken, if anything."
Jack leaned forward, looking concerned. "Fury, what compass did ya-"
"Just use the map, Jack," I stiffened at the sound of that stupid, oiled, trained voice. Will Turner walked next to me and leaned against the mast for support. I glanced around and could see Elizabeth glaring daggers at me from where she stood. I slid away from her fiancee- I didn't need him or her getting in the way of what I wanted. "It must be better than anything you have ever managed to draw up, I dare say."
Jake rolled his eyes, but snatched the map up and started walking around, giving orders to the crew. I turned and was about to go double check everything when Will stopped me, smiling. "Your welcome."
I snorted and pushed his hand away. "I'm not thanking you for anything. I was perfect on my own." I looked at him coldly, seeing right through him to my sister. "I always have been, and I always will be."
Will looked concerned for a while, but his arm dropped to his side as Jack sprinted up to us, looking alarmed. "Fury, what compass did you use? I know where we're headed now!"
I raised an eyebrow. "Yours. And I know where we're headed as well, Sparrow. Tortuga. Where you wanted me to plot the route for."
Sparrow shook his head from side to side. "No... no..." he sighed and looked up. "Well, there's no point in turning back now," he mumbled, turning away. "Might as well keep going." Walking up the deck, he shouted, "Full steam ahead, mates!"

Will's Point Of View
The entire ride there, Eliza, whom most everyone called Fury by now, avoided me like I was the plague. When I walked near her or got to close, she backed away as if she had just been burnt and walked away, doing something else that she, amazingly, succeeded in. The girl was amazing when it came to things or piracy.
Unfortunately, Elizabeth had no intention of letting me get away with talking to her sister.
"The girl is insane!" She sighed, looking out at the ocean.The two sisters hadn't talked since their first argument, I'm sure Eliza made sure of that. With the way she avoided me, if Elizabeth was so much on deck at the time, she would be under, doing something else to help the boat along.
"She's not insane," I said calmly, stroking her hair. "She's just... different."
"Will, there's a time to be different," she said desperately trying to make me see it the way she did and it was hard not to. Here was the girl I loved- who was I to say that her sister wasn't insane, that her sister, didn't deserve anything she got? After all, it was her sister, not mine.
She. She's not an it, she's a she.
And that's why I couldn't believe my precious Elizabeth. The way she talked, if she said that we had docked and my father were free, I would be jump over and start looking for him out in the deep, deep blue green water thrashing around me. Elizabeth made me see the girl as an 'it' not a 'she' and I didn't want to think that way.
Or, at least, I think that wasn't how I wanted to think.
Sighing and pulling away from Elizabeth, I went under the deck. I needed to get away from the crew.

Eliza's Point Of View
The entire ride, I stayed away from Elizabeth and her little lap pup. I tried my hardest to prove to that idiot Jack Sparrow, but he followed me around until I finally snapped one day.
"Yes?"
"What, I didn't say anything."
"Why are you following me around like a puppy?" I snapped, turning to face him. He forged a look of offense then, seeing that it didn't affect me in the least, laughed.
"Well, I just wanted to tell you we were here, girly."
"Stop calling me that! And where is here?" I looked around for the first time, gathering in my surrounds. We were in what looked like a swamp area, traveling up stream. "This can't be where I plotted the course."
Jack smiled. "That's the beauty of it it, darling. This is exactly where you plotted the course."
I raised an eyebrow and was about to say something when an accented voice called up from the shores, "Jack Sparrow! I knew you would be coming soon. And where is Elena? Dat girl has someting to say, don't you, girl?"

So, so, so, so, so sorry that I haven't updated in... literally a year. I'll try to get better at this. I promise.
