"So Will, any particular reason you've stormed into me cabin?" Lily smirked. Will sat next to her with a sigh and looked at her.

"Lily you have no idea how much i've missed you." He muttered stroking her neck. Lily grinned and leaned in to kiss him. He tasted like spice and for some reason sea air, if sea air has a taste.

She nipped at his bottom lip to open his mouth, making him groan, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Responding eagerly he pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. Soon they were laying down but they never broke the kiss. Lily felt dizzy and was glad she was already laying down or else she'd collapse.

Pulling away Will kissed her neck up and down then kissed her cheek. It was too much feeling his lips on her skin, she was afraid her skin would sizzle but she outlasted. They panted, gasping for air, then Lily sat up. Will followed suit so she could snuggle onto his chest.

"I missed you that much." She whispered. He squeezed her and soon they both fell asleep.

Jack, being the insensitive brother that he is, walked into the room to get Lily but halted at the sight of his sister with the whelp. A certain protectivness bubbled up in his gut but he ignored it, atleast they were clothed. Otherwise he'd have to kill Will. So he quietly grabbed his rum and tip-toed out.

Hours later Lily stirred and remembered she was laying on Will. Grinning she opened her eyes to find him stroking her hair.

"Evening." She giggled. Will smiled and pecked her on the lips.

"Lily get up ere'!" They heard Jack shout. Lily sighed and reluctantly got off of Will. They walked out to find Jack loading the long boats with various crew members. He spotted Lily and Will and twitched.

"Lily into the long boat, we've arrived. Will ye'll go with Lily...I suppose."

Will shrugged and helped Lily into the long boat then sat beside her. Gibbs and Marty climbed in after them, followed by Pintel and Ragetti. They set off on a river, leading into the middle of the island. Lily couldn't wait to see Tia Dalma again, Jack however wasn't looking forward to it, he kept looking around himself nervously. As if Tia Dalma would pop out of a tree and kill him.

"Why is Jack afraid of the open ocean?" Will asked curiously.

"Well, if you believe such things, there's a beast does the bidding of Davy Jones. A fearsome creature with giant tentacles that suction your face clean off and drag an entire ship down to the crushing darkness." Gibbs paused for dramatic effect then spat out one word, "The Kraken."

Pintel looked over at Ragetti nervously while Lily leaned against Will in a bored manner. She heard this story a dozen times before, and she got sick of it every time she heard it. Especially now that it was after her.

"They say the stench of its breath is," Shuddering Gibbs looked around the jungle. "Imagine, the last thing you know on God's green earth is the roar of the Kraken and the reeking odor of a thousand rotting corpses...if you believe such things."

"And the key will spare him that?" Will looked confused, and amused, as he glanced over to Jack.

"Now that's the very question Jack wants answered. Bad enough even to go visit...her."

"Her?"

Gibbs nodded and said no more. Lily giggled, she thought it was highly funny that he was afraid of Tia Dalma. She was harmless, as long as you don't get on her nerves.

"Mr.Gibbs I think you have your information crossed. Jack is seeking advice from Tia, not where the key is." Lily told him. She glanced at Will, who raised his eyebrow, and said, "But if she says anything about they key we shall listen."

She felt awful for tricking Will but they had to get someone to do it. She wasn't going to, and Jack didn't trust anyone else. Will was perfect bait and even though she liked him...he was a bit naive.

'Pirate...' Her conscious bit at her. She thought she lost her conscious years ago. Shrugging she looked around and smiled when she spotted a boy watching them. That was a sign that they were getting closer.

The more inland they got the more darker it seemed to get, until the only light they had were candles being lit in the water. They stopped at a small shack and Lily hopped out to enter. Jack stopped her though.

"I'll go in first dearie." He turned to the crew and smiled. "No worried. Tia Dalma and I go way back.Nigh inseparable we are...were, have been, before."

"I'll watch your back." Gibbs smirked.

"It's me front i'm worried about."

Lily rolled her eyes and waited for Jack to enter. When he hesitated she pushed him forward, causing him to open the door and stumble in. She peeked around him and smiled when she saw Tia Dalma look up.

"Lily Sparrow!" Tia Dalma purred. Lily ran over and hugged the woman, then let her see everyone else. When Tia Dalma layed eyes on Will she grinned like a chestire cat.

"You have a touch a' destiny about you. William, Turner." She purred.

"You know me?"

"You want to know me?"

Jack pulled Tia Dalma away and scowled at Will. Lily giggled in the back. Tia Dalma was such a flirt sometimes. She sat beside her while Jack let Will take the other side. Everyone else stayed standing.

"What service may I do ya?" Tia Dalma asked while caressing Will's face. She forcefully looked back at Jack and snapped, "You know I demand payment."

Jack motioned for Gibbs to bring over Jack the Monkey, who Lily coaxed into a cage, and smiled. "I brought payment. Look," He shot poor Jack, the monkey. "And undead monkey. Top that!"

"The payment is fair." Tia Dalma opened the cage and let Jack the monkey out, which made Gibbs wince.

"You've no idea how hard it was to catch him."

Will took out the cloth and layed it on the table for Tia Dalma to see. "We're looking for this. And what it goes to."

Tia Dalma shot a look at Lily, who whistled innocently, then turned back to Jack in suspicion. "The compass ya bought from me, it cannot lead you to this?"

"Maybe..."

Sitting down Tia Dalma smirked at Jack. She knew why he couldn't see what he wanted, and she knew what was wrong with his compass. Wanting him to figure out himself she decided to tease him a bit, after all it's what he deserved.

"Jack Sparrow does not know what he wants." She giggled. "Your key go to a chest. And it is what lay inside the chest you seek. Don't it?"

"What's inside?" Gibbs asked. Lily was amazed that he didn't know, it was a normal pirates tale.

"Gold? Jewels? Unclaimed properties of valuable nature?" Pintel guessed.

"Nothing bad, I hope." Gulping Ragetti turned his head away from a jar of eyeballs.

"You know of Davy Jones, yes? A man of the sea. A great sailor. Until he run afoul of that which vex all men."

Lily nudged Tia Dalma and gestured to the back room. She wanted to explore the cabin, like she used to but Tia Dalma shook her head. Pouting Lily crossed her arms to listen to the story.

It brought her back to when she was 14, when she and Jack used to come here for refuge. Tia Dalma would let her look at everything, learn what everything did and usually she even let her use some spells. It was always a relief also, because Tia Dalma treated her like a daughter and she viewed Tia Dalma as a kind of mother.

"Same story, different version and all are true. See it was a woman as changing, and harsh and untamable as the sea. He never stopped loving her. But the pain it caused him was too much to live with. But not enough to cause him to die." Tia Dalma was saying. Lily giggled when Gibbs, Pintel and Ragetti twitched.

"What exactly did he put into the chest?" Will asked.

Tia Dalma smiled and put her hand to her chest. "Him heart."

Everyone, minus Lily and Jack, went silent and so Tia Dalma continued, " It was not worth feeling what small, fleeting joy life brings. And so, him carved out him heart, lock it down in a chest, and hide the chest from the world. The key he keep with him at all times."

Will growled and stood up to face Jack, who jumped back in surprise. "You knew this."

"I did not." Jack replied indignantly. "I didn't know where the key was. But now we do. So, all that's left is to climb aboard the Flying Dutchman, grab the key, you go back to Port Royal and save miss bonnie lass, aye?"

He turned to leave but Tia Dalma stopped him and asked to see his hand. He hesitated but sighed and gave her his left hand. She unwrapped the cloth and every pirate, minus Lily, squeeked when they saw the black spot.

" My eyesight's as good as ever, just so you know." Jack huffed when Gibbs, Pintel and Ragetti did the black spot ritual. Tia Dalma had gone in the back and was rummaging around to find something. Lily snuck a peek and felt sick when she saw the bottom half of a man laying on the table. Apparently Ragetti saw it too because he looked sick, of course he always looked sick.

"Davy Jones cannot make port. Cannot step on land but once every ten years. Land is where you will be safe, Jack Sparrow, and so you will carry land with you." Tia Dalma said while handing Jack a large jar of dirt.

Jack took it with a pause. "Dirt. This is a jar of dirt."

"Yes..."

" Is the jar of dirt going to help?"

"If you don't want it, give it back."

"No." Jack hugged the jar of dirt close and Tia Dalma smiled.

"Den it helps. Lily I want you to carry this, you are not in danger from the kraken but if Davy Jones finds you, you shall be in grave danger." Tia Dalma handed Lily a strange looking dagger. It had a bone handle with some markings on the blade. Lily shrugged and pocketed it.

"It seems we have a need to find the Flying Dutchman." Will said annoyed.

Tia Dalma bowed, headed over to her table and picked up some bones. She mumbled some nonsense then tossed them on the table. It showed exactly where the Dutchman would be, off the coast of Mexico.

Before they left Tia Dalma took Lily and pulled her into a tight hug. "Please be careful Lily. Davy Jones is not a man to be trifled with, and you of all people shouldn't trifal. After what he did to you-"

"Don't worry Tia, i'll be fine. Jack will be fine and we'll all come back to see you once we're done. Savvy?"

Will blinked from outside, he heard what they had said and was confused. What did Davy Jones do to Lily before?...
