Jack ran down to his quarters to find his jar of dirt, once he found it he emrged back on deck and began shouting orders.

"Bex, Elizabeth, Norrington, Pintel and Ragetti are to come with me in the long boat. The rest of you stay here" Jack ordered.

"What about Ben?" asked Bex to her father.

"He stays on the ship, out of harms way" he said bluntly.

"But-"

"No questions asked. He is safer here then on the island"

Once the long boat was ready, Jack, Bex, Elizabeth, Norrington, Pintel and Ragetti climbed down into the long boat and began rowing towards the island known as Isla Cruces.

"You're pulling to fast!" complained Pintel.

"You're pulling to slow! We don't want the Kraken to catch us!" retorted Ragetti.

"I'm saving my strength for when it comes. And I don't think it's Kraken, anyway. I always heard it was said Kráken."

Bex just rolled her eyes as they got into one of their typical arguments. She then looked at Jack who had his arms round his jar of dirt and staring into space.

"Dad?" she said gently but Jack continued to stare at nothing. "Dad!" she said a bit more forcefully.

"Hmm?" he said looking up at his daughter.

Bex saw instant fear in his eyes. "Erm are you okay?" she asked nervously.

"I'm fine" he said quickly going back to staring into space. A bit too quickly.

Bex could tell he was lying. "No you're not."

Jack looked back at her again. "You know me too well" he said putting a comforting arm around Bex's shoulders.

"Guard the boat, mind the tide, and don't touch my dirt" Jack ordered to Pintel and Ragetti. "Rest of you come with me."

Elizabeth lead the way with the compass while Jack and Norrington followed carrying shovels and Bex who carried nothing. "I don't mind carrying something."

"No it's alright, everything has been taken care of" declared Jack.

They walked for what seemed like forever when they reached a part of the island covered in sand and a bit of grass.

Elizabeth walked up and down while holding the compass for a few moments, whilst clearly getting annoyed. "This doesn't work and it certainly doesn't show you what you want most!" she said frustrated placing the compass on the sand as she sat down.

Jack walked over and leant over the compass and it pointed to where Elizabeth was sitting. "Yes it does" he stated. "You're sitting on it" he told her.

"Beg pardon?" she asked.

"Move" he ordered shooing her away with his hands and motioning for Norrington to start digging.

Elizabeth looked at Bex who had a nervous and scared look on her face.

"This shouldn't take long" Jack called.

After a few minutes Norringtons shovel hit something solid and all for of them froze and heard a thumping sound. The four of them leant over and looked down into the hole.

Jack knelt down and pulled out a chest and opened it up only first to find letters but underneath the pile of letters there was a second chest which Jack pulled out. They all put their ears to it and heard the same thumping sound.

"It's real" gasped Elizabeth.

"You actually were telling the truth" said Norrington looking at Jack.

"I do that quite alot, yet people are always surprised" said Jack in a slightly confused manner.

"With good reason!" came a voice from behind them. They all looked round and there stood Will Turner dripping wet.

"Will?" asked Bex.

"Will!" cried Elizabeth running up to him. "You're alright! Thank god! I came to find you."

"How did you get here?" Jack queried.

"Sea turtles mate" replied Will making Bex snort with laughter. She knew full well where that lie came from. "A pair of them strapped to my feet."

"Not so easy is it?"

"But I do owe you thanks Jack."

"You do?" Jack asked confused.

"After you tricked me on to that ship, to square your debt with Jones" said Will and a guilty look came on to Jacks face as did Bex.

"What?!" asked Elizebeth, shocked.

"What!?" said Jack trying to act inncocent.

"I was reunited with my father" said Will.

"You're welcome then" said Jack.

"I told you not to lie to her!" Bex scolded.

"Yes I know!" retorted Jack.

"So you both knew?" asked Elizabeth angrily. Bex and Jack both nodded. "Very typical of you Jack" she coldly. "So everything you said to me every word was a lie?"

"Pretty much, time and tide love" confessed Jack

"Bex why didn't you tell me?" asked Elizabeth putting Bex on the spot.

"Erm...I...err..." Bex trailed off. "Actually why didn't I tell her?" she asked to herself. "I don't know" she said in a small voice, leaving Elizabeth in a state of disbelief.

"Remind me to never trust a Sparrow" she said angrily.

Will walked up to the chest and pulled the key out.

"What are you doing?" asked Jack quizzically.

"I'm going to kill Jones" stated Will.

"Can't let you do that William" said Jack drawing his sword out and pointing it at Will. "If Jones is dead who's to call his terrible beastie off the hunt eh?" he asked making Will stop what he was going to do and step back from the chest. "Now, if you please, they key" he said holding his hand out.

Will pulled out Elizabeths sword and pointed it towards Jack. "I keep the promises I make Jack, I intend to free my father, and I hope you're here to see it."

"I can't let you do that either. So sorry" said Norrington point his sword at Will.

A nervous look came over Bex and Elizabeth's faces as they glanced over at each other

"I knew you'd warm up to me eventually" said Jack smugly as Norrington the direct towards him instead.

Bex found herself enclosed between the three of them. "OK is this really all necessary? The three of you fighting won't get us anywhere" she shouted. The three of them all stood still in silence and looked at her. Bex turned to Norrington "so what secret have you been holding then?"

"Lord Beckett desires the contents of that chest. I deliver it I get my life back" he declared.

"You've been working for him the whole time?" she asked. He nodded.

"Ah the dark side of temptation" sneered Jack.

"I prefer to see it as the promise of redemption" said Norrington as the three of them began sword fighting.

"Will!" shouted Elizabeth.

"Guard the chest" he told her.

"NO!" she shouted as her and Bex ran after them.

"This is ridiculous!" shouted Bex.

"This is barbaric!" screamed Elizabeth but they couldn't hear her, yet she continued anyway. "This is no way for grown men to settle!"

"Pirates" stated Bex looking at Elizabeth.

"Oh fine, they can just pull out their swords and start banging away at each other. That will solve everything! I've had it with wobbly legged rum soaked PIRATES!!!" Elizabeth screeched.

"Stop screaming they can't hear you!" Bex shouted at her.

"Well I can't see you doing anything!" she retorted. "Make yourself useful and go and guard the chest."

"Why should I take orders from you? I thought you didn't trust a Sparrow?!"

"I don't" Elizabeth shouted back standing up.

"OK standing here and arguing isn't going to help anyone" said Bex looking at the men fighting. "Pretend to faint" she told Elizabeth.

"What?" she asked confused.

"Pretend to faint!" Bex repeated.

"Oh, oh the heat!" she yelled falling over. She opened one eye but could still see the three way fight going on.

Bex then noticed Pintel and Ragetti running off with the chest. "Elizabeth!" yelled back as she ran after the two pirates.

"What?" she yelled back, but then noticed the pair of pirates running off with the chest. She and Bex chased them as they headed towards the jungle.
