AN: Right just thought I'd warn you…there's a wee bit of…extreme fluff so be warned! All right on with the show.

Jack woke up the next morning to find that Tatiana had already gone back up to the house to get breakfast and Alex was taking a swim. After a delicious breakfast of whatever was still edible after all these years Alex sighed and said, "We're not going to be able to last long…we ate most of the supplies this morning. "We don't need to last long," scoffed Tatiana. "And why's that Tansy luv?" asked Jack throwing his arm around her. Their relationship had improved quite a bit over the past twenty-four hours. "Because here they come now," said Tatiana pointing to the sea. Sure enough in the distance there was a pinprick of a boat with six people in it.

"Well, well, well," said Tatiana smugly as Elizabeth, Barbossa, Pintel, Regetti, Gibbs, and William walked over to the family, soaking wet. Their boat had flipped over in the coming tide. "What brings you all here?" asked Alex innocently taking a bite of the banana he was eating. "We realized that our actions were lower then any turn coat scoundrel could ever dream of and our moral centers coaxed us to come back and rescue ye from the horrid fate we had condemned you to," said Barbossa bowing his head sorrowfully. "Uh huh," said Tatiana looking at her nails, "You couldn't read the charts could you?"

"H-how…w-what?" stammered Elizabeth staring at her in shock. "How did you know?" asked Regetti earning a slap in the back of the head from Barbossa. "You can read the devil's writing?" asked Gibbs in mild awe. Tatiana snorted and said, "It's Welsh not devil's writing and yes I can read it, write it, and speak it but that's not the point. The point is why should we come back with you? Half of you lead a mutiny against us and the other half –with the exception of William- threw Jack and Alex of the Pearl." "Well surely you can't stay here forever, you'd starve to death," argued Barbossa. "Not necessarily," countered Tatiana, her smirk growing by the second, 'you see that house up on the hill there? It's our old home. Patrie de les Moineau. It's well stock and in fit condition for human habitation so no... we really would be fine if you all decided to leave us here."

Barbossa opened and closed his mouth three times before saying, "What will take for you to come back?" Tatiana thought for a moment then said, "I'm captain once again, Alex is my first mate and when this whole venture is done Jack will get the Pearl back unconditionally." "Done," said Barbossa. "I'm not done yet mate," said Tatiana smirking, "I have given you my terms…now I need the incentive if you catch my meaning." Barbossa gaped at her for a few moments before saying, "How much?" "I'll know it when I see it, start emptying your pockets boys…and Elizabeth."

Barbossa, Pintel, Regetti, Gibbs, and Elizabeth all began to rummage through their pockets. Soon a small heap of gold coins, precious stones, a doubloon or two and for same strange reason a chicken's egg were at Tatiana's feet. She raised her eyebrows but before she could speak William said, "Wait! Wait…here…take this…it's really valuable both my father and my grandfather owned it!" He held out a knife. On one side of the handle it was white; on the other it was pitch black. Tatiana took the knife and examined it. Smiling slightly she said, "Gents, and Elizabeth…you have your captain back."

"That's a pretty necklace," said Will staring at Tatiana's "heart". Tatiana fingered the piece of jewelry and said, "Thank you William…my father got it for me when I was a very small child." "The same as the music box?" asked William. Before they had left the island Tatiana had gone back to the mansion to retrieve the music box along with a few "personal items". Tatiana nodded and said, "Yes."

After a few minutes of silence Tatiana handed him his knife back and said, "Here take it back…the fact that you were willing to give up something so important to you for the happiness of others proves my theory." "And what theory would that be?" asked William. "That you're a good man in the making," said Tatiana ruffling his hair affectionately.

"What's that?" he asked suddenly pointing to a bright red feather attached to Tatiana's belt. "This?" she said fingering the feather, "This is a phoenix feather…don't touch it though. Phoenix feathers burn anyone who try to touch them unless the phoenix has given the feather." "And how did you get it?" asked William. Tatiana smiled and said, "I was traveling down the coast of Crete when I saw these two buffoons trying to kill her. I stop them and she was so grateful she gave me a feather. It reminds me of what I fight for."

"And what's that?" asked William staring at the pirate captain. Tatiana considered him for a moment before saying, "My freedom, like a phoenix no matter how many times I burn I will always rise from my ashes and fly higher then ever before." "Like Jack," said the youngest Turner said absentmindedly fiddling with the knife. Tatiana nodded and said, "Just like Jack." There was a brief silence before Tatiana said, "I'm hungry…can you do me a favor William? Watch the helm while I get something to eat." William flashed her a smile so reminiscent of Jack that she almost did a double take and said, "Sure thing."

"Bootstrap," said Tatiana biting into an apple a while later, "Does William remind you of someone?" "Like who Ana?" asked Bootstrap peeling another potato. Tatiana took another bite out of the Granny Smith and said, "I don't know…he just seems…so…so familiar. You know that I don't Will that well and I certainly don't know Elizabeth that well at all." The old pirate shrugged, "Maybe he just reminds you of Alex at that age…that was the last time you saw him before…well…you know."

Tatiana shook her head, "No, no. I was talking to William for a bit today and I suddenly got this feeling of… de-ja-vu you know? Like…I had seen him before somewhere. And it's not even how he looks, it's the way he talks or walks around…I don't know…" Bootstrap shrugged, "You never know dear…William has had many stories to influence him…maybe that's all it is." Tatiana took another huge bite out of her apple, "Maybe."

She couldn't recall ever feeling more alive then she did at that moment. She couldn't exactly recall what had gotten her to this point. All she knew that was they had had a lot of rum and when he suggested they go to bed she'd agreed. His hands were everywhere and his mouth was kissing her from her temple to her collar bone. In one swift motion he ripped off her shirt so that she was naked. He began to kiss and caress her breast leaving her writhing in pleasure under him. "Please…please now!" she gasped. He gave a deep chuckle and said, "Patience is a virtue." "Who says I'm virtuous?" she asked as he began kissing her stomach.

As penance for being impatient he nipped her stomach. She flinched but it felt good all the same. "Are you ready for me?" he panted into her ear. She nodded. He put himself in the proper position then gave a thrust. He entered her in one smooth motion. She was filled with such ecstasy as she had never known before. She began to moan his name. "Oh…Oh…Oh my God you're wonderful-."

Elizabeth shot up sweating, she had taken a nap to relieve the pressures of the day but when she had fallen asleep this dream had come to her. It had seemed so vivid she was sure it was a memory of some sort but…but she had never been that…passionately intimate with Will before, even when he had returned from the Flying Dutchman. Suddenly she heard shouting from above.

When she reached the deck the wind was blowing and the sky was dark. "What's happening?" she asked Gibbs. "Storm's coming," the old pirate answered. Elizabeth was surprised to see Tatiana looking so calm. "Aren't you worried?" asked Elizabeth as the wind began to pick up. "No not really," answered Tatiana nonchalantly.

Suddenly the ship began to shake and the water began to froth and bubble. Suddenly a giant ship began to rise out of the water. It looked like a ghost ship; it had shredded sails and chipped paint. Just above the stern you could make out the name HMS Saint James' Freedom. Tatiana paled and yelled suddenly, "To arms!" Immediately the crew scurried off to their stations.

Rain began to pour down on them as the Pearl prepared to take on the Saint James' Freedom. With a full blown storm on their hands along with a mysterious ghost ship needless to say the Pearl's crew was on edge. "Orders Captain!" said Jack looking at Tatiana. Tatiana looked at him and said, "Wait till I give the signal then fire!"

Tatiana scampered up to the helm and spun the wheel. "Fire!" she shouted through the rain and wind. Immediately the air was filled with the sounds of thunder and cannon fire. Once the smoke cleared the Freedom looked like Swiss cheese. The crew began to cheer. "What!" asked Mullroy in exasperation finally, Murtogg had been tugging on his sleeve for the past thirty seconds. The ex navy man pointed to the Freedom, pure terror written all over his face. "Oh."

Tatiana and the rest of the crew also saw what had caused Murtogg so much fear. The deck of the Freedom was filled with men, armed men. They all had the same tattered uniform and grayish skin. "Bugger," muttered Tatiana, "Prepare for battle!" Suddenly grappling hooks were raining down on the Pearl as the zombies boarded the ship. "Jack!" cried Tatiana dodging a blow from a zombie, "Vault me over to the Freedom!" "Are you mad luv?!" cried Jack stabbing a zombie in the gut. "If I wasn't then I wouldn't be your daughter now let's go!" yelled Tatiana.

Jack tied the rope to her feet and lit the cannon. Tatiana flew through the air and landed in a perfect pirouette. She grinned as the blank faces of the living corpses registered something that might have resembled shock. Without a word she began hacking at the corpses dodging and thrusting when necessary. Suddenly she made it the helm of the Freedom and drove a jagged edge sword into the center of the wheel. Immediately the ship began to break apart and the corpses became stiff once again.

On the Pearl the undead soldiers began to disintegrate but not before one of them could slash William in the side sending him tumbling over board. Tatiana saw this from the Freedom, looked at the swirling tossing sea below her, looked up at the sky and muttered, "Come on!" Diving head first in the freezing sea water Tatiana began swimming around looking for the fallen boy. Finally she found him floating to the bottom of the ocean. Grabbing his waist she pulled him to the surface and began swimming towards the Pearl.

"William!" cried Elizabeth as Tatiana dragged him and herself back onto the deck of the Pearl. "Vivian Jacquette Tatiana Sparrow!" cried Jack weakly as Tatiana lay on the deck, panting, "You were incredibly stupid! You did something irresponsible, dangerous, crazy-." "In other words," panted Tatiana, "something you'd would've done." "Now move," she said standing and picking up William, "I need to examine William…Bootstrap please fix everyone something hot to drink…I'll join you shortly."

Tatiana examined William where the zombie had cut him; it was a minor wound, barely a scratch in comparison to some of the injuries she had sustained in past battles. Pulling his pants down to the top of his hip to make sure it wasn't larger then she thought she saw something that made her nearly go into cardiac arrest. A little above his right hip bone William a distinctive birthmark. It was small…barely the size of half of her palm but it had the shape of a bird…more specifically a sparrow. Tatiana ran her fingers over the small patch of skin, lost in thought.

"Tansy?" said a voice so suddenly that Tatiana nearly jumped out of her skin. Tatiana turned to see Alex standing at the doorway with two steaming mugs of cinnamon and nutmeg spiced rum. "For you," he said handing her a mug. She murmured her thanks and after a few silent, thoughtful sips she turned her brother and said, "Look at this." She showed Alex what she had found. Alex nearly dropped his mug in shock. "Why would the son of Will Turner have a Sparrow birthmark?" asked Alex quietly fingering the small patch of skin just as Tatiana had done a short while ago. "We need to talk to Jack and Elizabeth," said Tatiana quietly.

"Why would Calypso do something like this?" asked Elizabeth, "I thought she had settled her score with the Brethren." "That's because it wasn't Calypso that did it," said Tatiana from the doorway. Jack, Barbossa, and Elizabeth turned to see Tatiana and Alex standing in the doorway looking rather grim. "William…?" asked Elizabeth fearing the worst. Tatiana sighed and said, "He'll live…it was a very minor wound." "Calypso is goddess of the seas," said Barbossa staring at Tatiana, "Who else could've produced such a storm?"

Once again Tatiana sighed and said, "True Calypso rules the seas but she cannot bring ships back from the depths nor reanimate the dead…only one god has such power…Charon…lord of the dead." "Explain," said Barbossa coldly. "Before Davy Jones it was Charon's duty to ferry souls to the next world," said Tatiana, "his domain was the river Styx but soon he began to abuse his powers and Calypso replaced him with her lover. Unfortunately she did not think to break his powers." "Break his powers?" asked Elizabeth. "Gods and goddesses cannot be killed, their powers however can, given the right instrument in the right hands a god can be rendered semi mortal, having the body of a god but no powers. The only thing close to that happening was when the Brethren Court bound Calypso."

"So how do you know this was Charon's doing and not Calypso's?" asked Jack. Tatiana sighed and said, "Because that ship was sunk and its crew killed by the Black Captain six years ago. The only one to survive was a lieutenant named Phineas Landon." "That's the whelp that imprisoned me!" cried Alex indignantly, "How do you know him?" Tatiana rubbed her face and said in a weary voice, "We've had…encounters in the past." She straightened suddenly and said, "Well if you all will excuse me I need to work on the charts." "I thought you said you could understand them?" asked Barbossa suspiciously. Tatiana gave a grim smirk and said, "Just because I understand the language doesn't make them any less cryptic…goodnight."

Tatiana entered her cabin tiredly and picked up the charts. Suddenly from out of the darkness three figures appeared. One was Will Turner looking more haggard then ever before. Then a woman with dark skin and messy dreadlocked hair stepped in to the light and last was a man with long salt and pepper colored hair and beards. Without looking up from the charts Tatiana said in a bored voice, "You know you three should really work on your dramatic entrances." "Ah Tatiana Sparro…witty as her father," said Tia Dalma a.k.a Calypso smiling at the young woman. "I thought I told you all specifically to wait and that only Will could contact me. "We thought that it might be time fer another meetian," said Davy Jones smirking. "He's becoming more suspicious!" cried Will flinging his arms onto Tatiana, "I think he knows!"

Tatiana threw the captain of the Flying Dutchman's arms off of her and slapped him hard across the face. "Get a hold of yourself," she hissed, "You will go according to the plan and he will have no reason to suspect anything!" "Then how do you explain him raising the Freedom?" asked Will, though he was a little calmer now. Tatiana stiffened and said, "Charon has always had a sick sense of humor. If I recall correctly that is why we formed this motley alliance in the first place. If we fail not only will he kill you Will, but Davy Jones as well and if he gets his hands on the Grail he will have enough power to break Calypso."

"Then what do we do-ah," spat Davy Jones. Tatiana looked at him and said coolly, "Will goes back and tries to ease his suspicions, you two go back and prepare to play gracious hosts, and I try to figure out these damn charts. Why did you have to make them so damn obscure?" Davy Jones just smirked and faded into the wood work of the ship soon followed by Calypso. Turning back to the charts she said softly to Will, "She's sleeping…I don't-." "I just want to give her a letter," cut off Will quietly, "To let her know…that I love her and William…and that I forgive her…of everything." "You know?" Will nodded sadly, "I recognized it from when I was originally helping you…being the remedial doctor that I am but that mark is very…unique. I still love him though…and his mother as well." Tatiana stepped aside and as he was leaving the cabin she said, "You are a good man Will Turner…you deserved better in the world then what you got." Will smiled sadly and said, "So did you." With that he went to see his wife…if only for a moment.

"It seems I have been…mislead about your intentions," he said coldly, anger pulsing through his veins like a poison. "No! I assure you that-." "You have double crossing me this entire time! Working for my most hated enemies and believe me when I say I have quite a few enemies," he cut the other man off, his black eyes glinting. "Phineas," he called, "Bring me my sword." "Here you are My Lord," said the green eyed man, smiling cruelly. "Goodbye Will Turner," said Lord Charon softly before driving a sword that looked like it was on fire through Will's chest, where his heart use to be.

Will gave a small gasped and fell to the floor, his eyes blank and his mind dark.

Tatiana shot up gasping for breath. 'No,' she thought frantically hoping out of bed racing down to where Elizabeth slept, 'No, no, no! It couldn't have been real!' "Elizabeth!" cried the young woman shaking the pirate king awake roughly, "Elizabeth where is the key to the chest!" "W-what?" asked Elizabeth confusedly, blinking the sleep out of her eyes. "The key dammit! Give me the bloody key!" roared Tatiana furiously. Taken aback slightly Elizabeth pulled the key out form her cleavage and handed it to Tatiana.

She raced to where the chest that held Will's heart was and hurriedly opened it. When she saw she gasped and let out a sad, "No!" and dropped the key to the floor. All that was in the chest that once belonged to Davy Jones was the dead, unmoving heart of Will Turner, the now deceased captain of the Flying Dutchman.

AN: Right sorry this took longer then the others. Beginnings kinda choppy but I'm happy with its overall turn out. Not much else to say other then REVIEW!
