A/N

Previously:

Jack listened to her soft breathing for a moment before falling asleep himself.

"Cap'n!" Mr. Gibbs called through Jack's door. He wasn't answered. He knocked quietly. Still no answer.

Mr. Gibbs sighed and slowly opened the door, preparing to see the worst. He was pleasantly surprised when his eyes landed on Jack, fully clothed, with his arms around Lacey, who was also fully clothed and had her face buried in the crook of his neck.

Gibbs smiled to himself then left the cabin, forgetting what he needed to say.

Jack heard his cabin door close and opened one eye too look around. He opened his other eye and then looked down at Lacey who was still fast asleep. His eyes scanned the room twice more before he looked back at her.

After a few moment, Jack slowly removed his arms from around Lacey and put on his boots and belt. He then left the room.

The sun creped into the cabin and scanned Lacey's face and she rolled off the bed, landing on the floor. She groaned and rolled a little ways and grabbed her belt that had her weapons and put it on before falling asleep again.

Jack hurried into the cabin and grabbed his jar of dirt. He looked on his bed but didn't see what he was looking for. He panicked "…Lacey?"

He quickly walked around the bed and saw her on the floor then pushed the tip of his boot against her side. "Love, we're here!"

Lacey frowned and very slowly began to push herself up of the floor until she was in the push up position. Still moving very slowly, she lifted her foot and placed it in her boot, still in the same position, then she did the same with the other foot.

Jack frowned and clung to the jar of dirt with one hand a, then used his free arm to lift her up and carry her over his shoulder.

"That song really knocked ya out, didn't it?"

"Mhhm… I like when you sing to me" She said dreamily as the made their way on deck and into the longboat.

Jack laid her down behind Pintel as he sat at the bow of the boat, facing her. He splashed some sea water on her face.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at him "I'm awake."

"Good." He turned around and looked at the island until Lacey pushed him over to sit next to him.

She peered into his jacket pocket and saw the letters or marque and noticed him shaking. "Are you alright?"

He jumped lightly and then looked at her "Of course!"

She yawned and \looked at him holding the jar of dirt and realized he hadn't done that since the Black Spot had vanished. "Hows your hand?" She asked.

"Peachy." He replied timidly.

"So what are you scared of?" she asked softly.

Jack looked at her for a moment and knew she had figured it all out. "I don't want to loose me jar of dirt."

Lacey sighed "You only need it until we get to land. Then you will be alright."

He nodded "Yer right love."

She smiled and said, trying to block out the sound of the two men behind her argued about how to saw "Kraken" "Not much longer at all."

"Aye." He nodded, wondering if she was going to leave him again.

Stepping out of the boat, Jack put an arm around Lacey, just to make sure, and called over his shoulder to the two crewmen "Don't touch my dirt."

*~*~*~*~*~Lacey POV~*~*~*~*~*

I wasn't sure why, but Jack wrapped his arm around my shoulders as we followed Elizabeth onto the island. James carried a shovel as he walked in front of me. I couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking. I stepped away from Jack as Elizabeth stopped, turned around, and walked a few steps. The repeated this twice before looking at Jack, shaking the compass and sitting in the sand. "Your compass is broken and it most certainly doesn't show you what you want most."

Jack looked at me "I believe it's your turn, Sweetheart."

I walked over to where Elizabeth had dropped the compass in the sand and I tried to concentrate on wanting the chest. I wasn't one to believe any stories about Captain Jack Sparrow, but I knew the one about the compass was true. Tia Dalma had said so her self.

I watched as the needle pointed to Elizabeth, then I closed the compass, causing them all to look at me. "Either I really want to kill you," I told Lizzy "Or your sitting on it."

She blinked a few times "Excuse me?"

I rolled my eyes "This might be hard to believe but I don't want to kill you."

Jack pulled her off the sand and James started digging.

As I watched James, well aware Jack was watching me, I wondered how it could have come to this for him. Had he really thrown his life away just to catch Jack?

I looked over at what I could see of the abandoned church on the other side of the island and sighed "I hate this place."

"Been here, have you?" James asked, not stopping his digging.

I nodded once to him. "I have."

Jack sat in the sand next to where I stood and appeared to be meditating. I stood in silence until I heard a loud thud, James had hit the chest with the tip of his shovel. Jack pushed him aside and jumped into the hole to bring up the chest and quickly broke the lock with the shovel James had.

I knelt down next to Jack in front of the chest as he opened, revealing dozens of love letters and other things. I noticed a silver chain in the sand and picked it up to examine it. I had seen it before, but I was unsure where.

The silver chain ran threw a silver pendant that had something carved into it. I ran my thumb over the symbol to get the sand out of it and saw what was on it.

"Means water." Jack said to me, picking up a smaller chest and looking it over for a moment. He looked at me "No reason not to take it, love."

"I was going to." I replied as I put the necklace on myself.

Then all four of us listened to the small chest. We heart a single heartbeat.

"It's real!" Lizzy gasped.

"You actually were telling the truth." I could hear how astounded James was.

Jack raised a brow "I do that a lot and yet people are still surprised."

"With good reason!" I heard my cousin's voice from behind us.

Without thinking, I stood and ran to him "Will! Your all right!" I hugged him.

He hugged me back and nodded, then turned to Elizabeth. I took a step back, allowing them to greet each other with a kiss.

I turned to see Jack looking behind Will with a worried expression on his face "How did you get here?"

"Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them strapped to my feet."

I rolled my eyes and went to stand next to the chest.

"But I do owe you thanks, Jack." Will began and I looked at him "After you tricked me onto that ship to square your debt with Jones-"

"What?" Elizabeth inturepted.

"What?" Jack asked in a high pitched voice, trying to match Lizzy's.

Will continued "… I was reunited with my father."

I looked at him "Unce Bill?"

Will nodded.

Jack gulped "Your welcome." I looked at him, frowning. He had failed to mention that.

"Everything you said to me… Every word was a lie?" Elizabeth sounded shocked.

"Of course." I couldn't help but say.

Jack shrugged "Time and tide, Love."

Will nudged me over a bit as he knelt down on front of the chest containing the heart with one hand holding the key and the other, a knife.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm going to kill Jones." He answered, and in a second, Jack's sword was at my cousin's throat.

"I can't let you do that."

Before I could take out my sword, Will grabbed Elizabeth's cutlass and pointed it back a Jack. "I keep the promises I make." He said. "I intend to free my father."

Once again, before I could step in, James pulled out his sword "I'm afraid I can't let you do that either."

I stared at Will who was right in front of me frowning.

"I knew you'd warm up to me commodore." Jack said with a smirk as he lowered his weapon.

And within a second, James pointed his sword at Jack, Will turned his on James, and Jack brought his back on Will. I looked around to see I was in the middle of them all, trapped in the triangleish shape, with no idea if I was taking sides. If I was, whose side would I be on?

As if reading my mind, they all looked at me waiting for me to say something.

My mind screamed one word. HELP!

A/N: What do you think? Whose side should she take? Review to let me know! By the way, the picture of the pendant can be found on my website. The link is on my profile at the bottom.
