Aye thank ye xxJE4everxx for reviewing me last chapter.

Whenever an undead man would pass her Lily would emit a deep growl at them. Warning them that if they even looked at her wrong she'd cut whatever man-hood they had left, off. She continued to tie down the cannon that Jones had assigned her to while watching Will do his duties. He was surprisingly well at daily chores on a ship, especially tying down the masts.

"Lily are you alright?" He asked. Lily jumped, she didn't realize he came over to her.

"Aye i'm fine."

Will frowned, he could tell she was hiding something from him. Her nose crinkled when she lied, and it was crinkling now. He looked in the direction that she was looking and saw a man hunched over a barrel. He seemed like an older gentlemen and Lily was looking at him with a mixture of shock and disbelief.

"Can't be." She muttered.

"Turner! Get up ere and secure this cannon!" A crewman shouted. Will huffed and ran up, along with the man that was hunched over the barrel. Lily gasped when she saw his face but thought better of going to him. Perhaps this would work out in her favor.

Rain starting pouring down and she heard an organ starting to play. She knew it was Davy Jones, the man practically lived in front of that over grown piano of his. She ran up on deck and climbed up the mast to tie down loose rigging. While she was up on the mast she saw Will tugging on a cannon rope, along with his father. A crew man yelled for a Turner to tie down the cannon that half the crew was lifting and both Turners ran up.

Lily shrieked when the cannon fell. She looked to see who did it and Will was on the ground, holding the cannon rope. Thinking quick she jumped down and stood in front of Will as the crew hauled him up and stuck him to the mast.

"You'll not be hurting him, it wasn't his fault. It slipped." She snarled.

"Impeding me of my duties? You'll share the punishment." A crew man, who Lily recognized as Bo'Sun, snapped. Turner Sr. walked up and stood in front of Will as well.

"I'll take it all." He said.

"Will ye now?" Lily just noticed Davy Jones had come on deck and she shivered. "And what would prompt such an act of charity?"

Turner Sr. looked at Will briefly and replied, "He's my son."

Davy Jones tilted his head in puzzlement. He looked at Will, then at Bootstrap, then back at Will and grinned. "What fortuitous circumstance be this." He took the whip from Bo'Sun and held it out for Bootstrap to take.

"No." Bootstrap whispered in horror. "No I won't!"

"The cat's out of the bag Mr. Turner. Your issue will feel its sting be it at the Bo'sun's hand or your own."

"It wasn't his fault." Lily shouted. Jones whipped his head around and looked at her curiously. "It's raining and it slipped out his fingers. He's only human!"

Jones continued to look at her then his face softened briefly. He could recognize what tone she was using and he pitied her for a moment. Then he snapped out of it and went to hand the whip to Bo'Sun but Bootstrap grabbed it.

"Ah Miss Lily i'd move if ye don't want to get hurt." Jones smirked while taking her arm. Lily looked away while Will was whipped. Every lash seemed to hit her in the gut, she could hear the pain in Will's grunts and it physically hurt her, when he got hit she gave a small cry. He was getting hurt and it was her fault he was even on this ship.

"You've had it easy boy."

Lily looked back and flinched when Will was thrown below deck. Bootstrap followed him and she attempted to do the same but Jones's tentacle was still around her arm.

"Ye love him, don't ye." It wasn't a question. Jones was looked at her with a curious expression. Lily stared back at him and remembered what Tia Dalma had said, '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.'

"No I don't." She muttered looking away. Jones released her and walked off, with the same expression on his face. Lily remained in the same spot for a few moments before remembered Will. She ran down below deck and saw Will and his father walking together. She ran up, turned Will around and hugged the life out of him.

"I'm so sorry." She whispered in his ear. Will wrapped his arms around her and held her. Bootstrap cleared his throat slightly and both of them jumped away from each other sheepishly.

"Lily." Bootstrap grinned. He wrapped his arms around her and spun her around in the air making her laugh.

"Ah Bootstrap, it's been a while." She grinned.

"Just a few years. Ye look better then when I last saw ye, older." A guilty look spread across Bootsraps face as he, and Lily, recalled the last time they'd seen each other. During Barbossa's mutiny, when Lily was getting raped and tortured he had stood up for her and attempted to get Barbossa to stop.

"That's the past. Ye did all ye could, and I appreciate that very much." Lily smiled softly. She took Will's hand and continued walking and talking with Bootstrap. Bootstrap noticed their entwined hands and snickered. His adopted daughter was in love with his son, what were the odds.

'Best make sure they don't get in trouble.' He grinned mischievously.

Elizabeth glanced around Tortuga with a mixture of disgust and amusement. Everywhere she looked there were pirates and whores and drunks, something she wasn't used to but it did amuse her in a way.

"You there...sailor?" She barked at a drunk staggering toward her. "You seen Jack Sparrow here?"

The drunk stopped, tilted his head in thought then pointed shakily toward the pub down the street. It looked semi respectable, despite the outpost of prostitutes sitting outside of it. She thanked the man and hurried toward the pub. Upon entering she heard a familiar voice, one she didn't expect to hear.

"Come on." James Norrington shouted. He was surrounded by a hoard of angry drunks and it seemed that he was drunk as well. Elizabeth jumped and drew her sword to help him. She spotted Jack and Gibbs walking up the stairs and was torn between going to them and helping James.

"Come on, then! Who wants some? For an orderly line and i'll have you one by one. Come on, who's first?" James slurred. Rolling her eyes Elizabeth took his bottle of rum and smashed him over the head with it. The pub instantly went quiet.

"I just wanted the pleasure of doing that myself." She exclaimed quickly. Everyone cheered and grabbed James by his limbs. Elizabeth followed anxiously and watched as they threw him in the pig pen. Once everyone left she walked over to him.

"James Norrington." She sighed. James looked at her in shock, then shame. "What has the world done to you?"

"Go away Elizabeth." He muttered. He sat up slowly and tried to stand up but he fell back down. Elizabeth sighed again and helped him up with some difficulty. She didn't see Mercer standing in the shadows as she helped James out of the pub.

She and James headed to the docks, since that was the logical place Jack would go, and looked around for the Pearl. Once she spotted it, and Jack, she grinned.

" Captain Sparrow!" She shouted. Jack turned to look at her briefly then turned back around and kept walking.

"Come to join me crew lad? Welcome aboard!"

Elizabeth hurried up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. When Jack turned around she took off her hat to reveal her blond hair and ultimately her womanhood. Jack blinked a couple times then turned to Gibbs to give him his bottle of rum.

"Hide the rum." He whispered. Then he turned back to Elizabeth and smiled. "Elizabeth, wonderful to see you luv. You know these clothes do not flatter you at all. It should be a dress or nothing. I happen to have no dress in my cabin."

"Jack, I know Will came to find you. Where is he? And where's Lily?"

"Darling, I am truly unhappy to have to tell you this, but through an unfortunate and entirely unforeseeable series of circumstances that had nothing whatsoever to do with me, poor Will has been press-ganged into Davy Jones's crew."

Elizabeth noticed he didn't answer about Lily but ignored it when she realized who he said. "Davy Jones?"

"Oh please." James interrupted. "The captain of the Flying Dutchman?"

Jack wrinkled his nose and stared at James with a curious expression. "You look bloody awful mate, what're you doing here?"

"You hired me. I can't help it if your standards lack."

"You smell funny."

"Jack." Elizabeth huffed. "Where is Lily?"

"Lily...has been taken captive on the Flying Dutchman also. Jones took her." Jack mumbled.

Elizabeth's heart broke for Jack. She knew the tight bond he and his sister had and she knew this must be hard for him. "What do we do to help them?"

Jack brightened as he thought of a plan. His compass didn't work for him, but it might for Elizabeth. He slung his arm around her shoulder and led her away from James, who was throwing up, to talk. "Well...there is chest."

"Oh dear." He heard James say. Sticking his tongue at James he turned back to Elizabeth and continued, "A chest of unknown size and origin."

At that point Pintel and Ragetti passed by with some cargo and Pintel piped up, "What contains the still beating heart of Davy Jones." Ragetti did his part by imitating a heart with his hand. Elizabeth looked at them incredulously and turned back to Jack.

"And whoever possesses that chest, possesses the leverage to command Jones to do whatever it is he or she wants. Including saving brave William, and Lily, from their grim fate." Jack added. James had caught up with them and looked at him like he was mad.

"You don't actually believe him do you?" He asked Elizabeth.

Pondering what Jack had said Elizabeth knew Jack probably wouldn't lie to her, he didn't dare. If he was telling the truth they could save Will and Lily, something that she knew he wanted to do. She couldn't see a down side, besides Davy Jones catching them and killing them but what were the odds of that, so she nodded. "How do we find it?"

Grinning Jack whipped out his compass and opened it briefly as he said, "With this. My compass is unique."

"Unique, here having the meaning of broken." James muttered. Figuring Elizabeth was being corrupted enough without him he walked over to the side of the deck to throw up more.

"True enough, my compass doesn't point north."

"Well where does it point?"

" It points to the thing you want most in this world."

Elizabeth's eyes widened. She couldn't believe Jack was entrusting her to use his "unique" compass. He never let anyone even touch it, besides Lily, and here he was handing it to her. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Every word luv. Now what you want most, is to find the chest of Davy Jones." He placed the compass in her hand softly and a shot of electricity shot up her arms. She looked down at the compass and watched as it spun around then firmly stopped in a north east direction. Jack peeked at it and grinned.

"Mr.Gibbs! We have our heading."

"Finally." Gibbs sighed. Jack led Elizabeth on board with a flourish. Once on board Elizabeth looked around and smiled, the Pearl looked exactly how she remembered. With less un-dead pirates however.

"You can bunk with me if you like." Jack offered. She glared at him and he smirked when he caught onto what she was thinking. "Not like that luv, though I wouldn't say no to that either. It just so happens Lily's bed is in my cabin as we share the same cabin. You can have her bed."

"Oh, thank you Jack. I guess."

Smiling Jack led her to his cabin and allowed her to change into some cleaner clothes while he gave Gibbs the direction to sail in. In his cabin Elizabeth changed then curiousity over came her. She was in the infamous Jack Sparrow's cabin. What interesting things could be laying about?

She walked over to Lily's bed to put her clothes away when she spotted a picture. It was the picture of Jack and Lily's parents, she remembered seeing it when she was trapped in this room but she never actually looked at it.

"Never told ye what happened to them did I?" Jack said from behind her. She turned and found him to close for comfort.

"No you haven't. What happened to them?"

"Well luv that's an interesting story..."

Hooray another chapter!
