The waves were roaring at Tortuga's coastline, and dark thunder crackled overhead. The streets were full of drunkards and in a small tavern the crew of the The Pearls Revenge (Jack Sparrows and Will Turners rescue mission) were searching for crew members. Most of the crew had backed out of the mission, leaving only Barbossa, Elizabeth, Gibbs, Cotton, Pintel, Anamaria and Ragetti.

Gibbs and Barbossa were sat at a table waiting for applicants well the rest of the crew spent their time off getting well and truly drunk on rum. A cheerful band were playing music throughout the tavern as brawls broke out left, right and centre. Candles were lit throughout the room giving it a cosy feel. The keeper of the tavern had used the same tactic to make his bar popular as most people - cram as many wooden tables as you can into one small space. All that could be heard was drunken shouting, singing and fighting. The crew of The Pearls Revenge had started up a rather interesting and rude sea shanty that they were all blasting out in very drunk and tuneless voices.

So far the evening had dragged on and it seemed that no one was willing to join the ship, however as the night darkened, the atmosphere changed. The band left and a rugged stranger entered the bar, a wide brimmed hat pulled low over their face. They strode with a purpose towards the table.

"I hear ye be lookin' for crew" said the voice, it's owner still unidentified.

"Aye, that we are" replied Gibbs, "Would ye be willin' to join?"

"I hear ye be goin' after a certain Jack Sparrow".

"And where might one hear rumours of that, eh?", asked Barbossa, leaning forward and grinning crookedly.

"I get around", replied the voice coldly.

"Well, we'd be glad to have ye, but what be yer name young lass?", asked Gibbs.

"Lass?", asked the voice.

"Aye, lass", answered Gibbs,"Yer think I can't spot a woman when I see one?"

Blushing, the girl removed her hat, allowing her stunning copper coloured shoulder length hair to fall down, setting of forest green eyes and flattering her slim face beautifully.

"Well", said Barbossa,"Pirateing isn't a career a pretty young girl like you should want to be pursuin', eh?"

"I hear there are already two woman among your crew, one more should make no difference. Aye?"

"Aye. We'll take you aboard lass, but what be your motive for this journey? And what be yer name?", asked Gibbs.

"Jennifer, Jen if yer like. I hear you're goin' to world's end."

"Aye".

"Take me there, I have some . . . unfinished buisness with a certain someone there".

"Then what? You'll stay on with the crew?", asked Barbossa.

"No I wish you to leave me there".

Barbossa shared a doubful look with Gibbs before nodding his head in decision.

"Very well then, though I doubt when we get there you'll be so eager to stay Young Missy".

Although when they looked up to see her response she had already gone. Disappearing from the tavern as quickly as she had come.

On the other side of Tortuga, in one of it's few empty taverns, Elizabeth sat deep in thought, staring into her rum. Was she right to chain Jack to that ship, was she right to kiss him? Will certainly hadn't thought so. She didn't know why she'd done that, though she did really - because she'd wanted to. Her last moment with Jack, her last chance. But Will. Did she love him? She didn't know any more, though she knew she'd do anything to get them both back.

"Somethin' troublin' ye lass?", asked a man as he slid into the seat next to her.

He was wearing a leather longcoat, with dreadlocked hair and kohl lining his eyes. For a second Elizabeth thought it was Jack. He beared such an uncanny resemblance.

"Oh", she said out of shock.

"Somethin' wrong?"

"Oh, O-Oh, no, nothings wrongs", she replied with a dismissal shake of the head.

"Aye, don' seem that way to me".

"Hmm, ever heard of J-Jack Sparrow".

"Oh yes, I 'eard of him. Heard he were dead".

"I-I killed him".

"Pardon".

"He's dead, because of me".

"Oh - so I'm guessin' that'd be whats wrong wit' yer then".

Elizabeth burst out crying knocking the rum off the table in anger. "It-It was the only w-way. B-but Will too. They're both g-gone. Dead. Gone. B-because of me."

"Calm now lass, calm yerself. It ain't your fault".

At this Elizabeth became even more hysterical, burying her head in the mans shoulder, her hair falling onto his chest.

She stayed there for a while, comforting herself in the mans warm body, recovering she sobbed " You look just like him you know".

"Aye. Yer not the first to say that, probably not the last either".

" We're going to get them both back you know. From the dead. World's End".

"Back from the dead ye say?"

"Would y-you come? Come with us"

"Well I ain't usually one to hold with tha' sort of thing, but I knew Jack quite well. Saddens me to hear he's gone. Would there mab'e be room for me on this voyage of yourn'?

"Yes, yes! Of course we'll be glad to have you!", cried Elizabeth flinging herself into his arms.

"Hm, yes, well", muttered the pirate, looking slightly surprised at Elizabeths reaction, "Couldn't leave a pretty young girl like yerself, defenceless on a pirate ship could I now", he replied grinning roguishly.

"Hmm", replied Elizabeth, "You know, you're even more like Jack than I thought", and with that she removed herself from him and traced down the side of his cheekbones brushing her lips against his for a second. "Very like him", and with that she turned and ran leaving a rather bemused pirate behind.
