Okay everything may be moving very quickly and not building up fast but that is because the main part of the story is after they get Jack back and things start to come out.


"What a black and dreary place." Elizabeth commented.

"You expected the end of the Earth to be cheerful?" Barbossa asked.

"Ready the long boat, Jim with me and Jon you have command if the worst happens and we won't be coming back no heroics set sail and get out of here."

"Yes Captain."

"Swear it on your father."

Jon dropped his head. "I swear."

Cotton, Gibbs, Will, Elizabeth, Barbossa, Jim, Pintel, and Ragetti were already in the boat when Morrigan swung over the side and climbed down. "To shore then."

Quietly the oars dipped into the water. Not knowing what they would find Morrigan kept one hand on the tiller and the other on one of her pistols.

"What should we expect?" Will asked.

"A gray and dismal place where people just lie around and prey for real death or deliverance. Don't let them find the boat and hope they don't see the ship or they will take them." Barbossa warned.

"Jim pistols ready just in case."

"Aye."

"Aye."

Morrigan leaned to the side and glared at the figure who had hidden next to Elizabeth and Gibbs. "Caleb." She snapped at the young man who was her cabin boy. "You were to stay on the ship."

"Sorry Captain."

"You stay close to Jim and obey his every word or I will make sure to leave you in the first port we pass." She steered them to shore a ways from the main city looking thing.

Immediately they hid the boat. Morrigan then eyed Barbossa. "You go back to the ship without us Barbossa and Jim has orders to kill you."

Barbossa tried to look shocked but then he smiled. "Wise girl a lot wiser then most."

Morrigan didn't answer only gave her spare pistol to Caleb. "Only if there is no other way." They then walked to the ghostly settlement.

As they entered it Will noted how it looked much like Tortuga except instead of loud and gay it was silent as the grave. They looked at people who laid around but tried to move like a group that was seeking a companion like some of the other people were doing. Finally they split into smaller groups with the plan to meet back at the boat at the first sign of light.

"And then she kissed me and left me to my fate."

Will turned at the words and looked at the wreck of a man. "Jack?"

The man looked up and smiled. "Will, the Kraken get you?"

"No, can you come with me."

"I was just telling this friend about my adventures, join us. There isn't much else to do in this grave."

"Jack I really would like to talk to you about something."

"What's the rush we have all eternity." Jack then looked next to Will and saw Morrigan. "Well hello, replaced Elizabeth already. Fine looking girl." He then reached up and pulled her onto his lap. "Not as feminine as Elizabeth, thou…" His words cut off when he felt a pistol barrel at his side and heard it cock.

"You can get up and follow us or I'll send you to the other side right now." Morrigan whispered into his ear.

Jack eyed Will. "You found a real wild cat, too but those won't work here."

Silently she changed hands and touched they tip of a dagger to the space between two ribs. "Up now."

"You better obey Jack, she's the type of Captain who doesn't order twice."

"Captain? Of what?" Jack laughed.

"The Dark Storm." Will told him.

Jack's eyes went wide for a second and then stared at the red head in somewhat recognition. "Captain Avery's girl?"

"Up." Morrigan got up but kept the dagger hidden but still on Jack.

"Anything for Daniel's girl." Jack got up and followed them.

They were the last to arrive at the long boat and while Elizabeth smiled and went to hug Jack he simply turned to Morrigan. "So we're going to row our way back to civilization?"

"No Mr. Sparrow my ship is just out of sight." Morrigan prepared to help Pintel, Ragetti, Jim, and Caleb push the boat back into the water. Once it was floating she jumped in and the others piled in behind her.

Elizabeth looked at Jack and knew that he was angry, and she knew that it had to be with her. They rowed quickly back to the ship and once they arrived at the Dark Storm they climbed aboard and while some of the crew hauled the long boat back onboard it's passenger's followed Morrigan towards the helm.

"I'm glad you're back, and safe." Jon said.

Morrigan nodded. "Move Miss Swann into my cabin and let Mr. Sparrow and Mr. Turner have that cabin. Meanwhile get us out of here before something happens."

"Aye Captain, but once out of here we are going to have to stop at an island and at least get some fresh water, fresh fruit would be nice too." Jon told her.

"Of course, find us a suitable spot and we'll get it, next port we'll need to get rid of some of the swag and put on more food." Morrigan said as she walked up to the helm.

"Always one step ahead Captain." Jon teased her.

Jack followed her and then when Jon left he stepped forward. "I would be most grateful if you would see to put me off in a suitable port."

"Of course Mr. Sparrow."

"It's Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow."

Morrigan turned flashing her green eyes on him and let him feel the heat. "I don't see your ship…Captain."

Jack turned on his heel and marched back to main deck and walked up to the desk. "She is an infuriating woman."

Will smiled. Morrigan was that, infuriating, dominating…intoxicating. He wanted to knock himself in the head. He was suppose to be in love with Elizabeth, he was suppose to marry Elizabeth, he was suppose to be heart broken over Elizabeth's betrayal, yet Morrigan was on his mind. Her green eyes, tanned skin that no doubt under the shirt was as pale as ivory, and the flame red hair that fell and curled around her shoulder.

Jack looked at Will's face and sighed. "So young William has been wounded by the infuriating female captain."

"I find her interesting."
