Port Royal was slowly disappearing from their view. If there was one thing they were grateful for now it was the fact that since they were technically children they most likely wouldn't be hurt. Or at least right away. Barbossa grabbed Elizabeth's shoulder and had her turn to face him. She involuntarily gasped as he got in her face and his head slowly moved to look at Will.

"You have a familiar face boy."

Will was about to respond (he was stuttering enough) but Elizabeth beat him to it.

"He's my very distant cousin Fred who's an apprentice in the local blacksmith shop. Anyway, it's this you want," she said taking out the medallion.

The crew around them stopped their duties to stare. Barbossa quirked an eyebrow. "And how would you be knowing we're in search of this Miss..."

"Turner and I'm an assistant maid in the Governor's household which was where you found us. Maids gossip a lot you know. We're both Turners."

Will stared at her. Why'd she have to pick Fred?

"And how did you come to own a trinket such as that, family heirloom perhaps?"

"It was not stolen," she said.

Now it was Will's turn to quirk an eyebrow as he crossed his arms against his chest. She gave him a look that said 'You think of something better.' He then turned to face Barbossa at the same time Elizabeth did and she put her hands on her hips.

"Very well then, hand it over."

He put his hand out and Elizabeth was about to put it in when she pulled back.

"Not until you bring us back to shore."

"And why should I listen to you."

Will finally spoke up. "Because, because we know that the curse won't be lifted till you get the proper blood. One of us actually."

Barbossa stared at him and Elizabeth gulped. He put his hand out once more and she dropped the gold piece into it. Suddenly she was picked up and Will was as well.

"And what in the world made you think you could trust a pirate," Barbossa called after them as they were led out of the room and locked in his cabin.


They heard the laughter from the closed door.

"Fred? You told them my name was Fred?" he said in a harsh whisper.

"Well I couldn't exactly tell them it was Will Turner now could I?" she said in an equally harsh whisper.

They both stared at each other for a few seconds before erupting into giggles.

"We're bickering like a couple of..."

"Children? I noticed."

Will sighed and looked to her again. "We're going to have to stay calm through this Elizabeth. Who knows how long before we can be saved or if we'll find a ship to jump to."

"I know. I'll watch your back."

"And I'll yours."


There was the ship just waiting for him. It seemed like everyone was still cleaning up from the night before and they wouldn't care if another ship had gone missing. They'd probably assume it was sunk anyway. Jack Sparrow slowly slunk out of his hiding spot and moved ever so much closer to the waiting ship The Interceptor. It looked to be brand new and ready for a nice pirate crew to go save the two in likely distress. Inch by inch he moved closer and closer.

"Excuse me sir but I don't believe you have permission to be anywhere near that ship."

Jack knew that voice. He turned and it was Captain (not yet Commodore) Norrington. "I'm sorry but I was just admiring it you know."

"Well admire it from a distance then because we have to go in search of the children."

"Do you really?"

Norrington nodded. "Yes, the Governor wants them back safe and sound as soon as possible."

"And how would you go about that then aye?"

Norrington turned to look at the soldier standing next to him and the man shrugged. "You have a way of finding them?"

"Perhaps I do," Jack said moving closer till he was on top of him. "The question is though, do you trust my judgment?"

Norrington handed the man the maps he was holding and began to walk away motioning for Jack to follow. "And why do you care anyway?"

"Let's just I have a soft spot for those two in the few hours I was working in the mansion."

Norrington gave him a searching stare before nodding. "We set sail in one hour. Be there."

Jack nodded and actually shook his hand. Norrington did not lift the sleeve therefore he had no idea he made an alliance with a pirate. Yet anyway.
