Chapter 11:
Visions of Darkness
This is what happened between Will and Elizabeth as Jack was being whipped:
Elizabeth could no longer take the pain of seeing Jack being whipped. Will had offered to take her aside and Elizabeth accepted longing for an escape. She couldn't bear to see the man she loved receiving punishment so she screamed once more terrified "Jack!" She watched his face go pale, and his eyes were slightly closing she noticed. Elizabeth began to cry as Will talked to her "It's going to be alright". Elizabeth shook her head and said, "No, this is your fault! How could you do this to him?"
Will then wiped a teardrop from Elizabeth's cheek. But she hit his hand away in disgust. Will then said, "I'm sorry Elizabeth. But he lied! I heard him and his father talking about how he went back in time and how if he didn't we would have been married." Elizabeth pushed Will away in disgust but then he pulled her closer to him while explaining once more "Elizabeth, Jack was sent back to the moment you kissed him before the Kraken…." Elizabeth then interrupted "Wait a second…"
Elizabeth thought for a second and she realized that Will was telling her the truth. Elizabeth was going to lock Jack to the mast, but he somehow knew that she was going to. That's why he pushed her away." Elizabeth once again began to sob. Will then took out Captain Teague's ring and got down on one knee while asking, "Elizabeth, it is proven that we are supposed to be together. Will you marry me?"
Elizabeth looked at the Flying Dutchmen and saw Jack close his eyes as he slipped into unconsciousness. Elizabeth then looked back at Will and replied, "I guess so". Will chuckled happily and then kissed Elizabeth's cheek. Elizabeth half smiled and wiped the rest of her tears away from her eyes.
I opened my eyes seconds later to see that I was still on the Flying Dutchmen. I had secretly wished that this was all a dream, and that I was still on my long boat traveling towards Aqua De Vida. I looked around and slowly lifted my self off the deck. As I did, I heard my father scream out my name. I turned around quickly trying to spot him. Once I did; I was about to answer when Davy Jones' crew grabbed my arms again. This time one of them that slightly resembled a shark told me "Down to the cellars with you, Jack".
I took a deep breath and then grinned trying to cover up the fact that I was terrified. I looked at the ship in front of me and saw Elizabeth. I then shouted, "Talk to Tia, luv". I then was pushed against a door that opened to the stairs that led to the cellars. Davy Jones then came up to me and screamed "Tia Dalma? Jacky boy? Do you know where she is?"
I did not respond, so Davy Jones took out his whip and this time whipped me across my stomach. I winched once again in pain as Jones' yelled, "Answer me!" I then whispered, "She's on the ship". Davy then opened the door and pushed me down the stairs, and locked the door. I once again fell unconscious. Back on my ship, my father started yelling at Jones, "Enough you scallywag!" Teague then looked around the ship to see Elizabeth, with a ring on her finger. Teague then walked over to her angrily and then asked "Who gave this to you?" Will then grinned while answering, "I did". Teague then took out his sword and put it against Will's throat.
Teague then screamed at him "I've had enough of you boy! All you wanted was to find your father" He said imitating Will "horse squalor! You've been at my sons throat since the day you meet him, and now your life is in your own hands, choose your last words wisely!" Will then sighed while saying "I only want to find my father." Teague then pushed Will off the ship and into the ocean while screaming, "Then find him!"
Elizabeth looked into the ocean and started looking for Will. Teague then took Elizabeth's hand and said "I've got no time to explain Darlin', find Tia!" Davy then shouted, "I bid you farewell". Teague then yelled, "Stop the ship! I am not leaving without my son!" Jones grinned then said "As you wish. Men take Captain Teague on our ship and put him in the cellars!"
Elizabeth then walked over to where Gibbs was, and then asked him "What do we do?" Gibbs shrugged then answered, "I don't know if there a star in the sky that knows, right now, I think it would be wise to leave". Elizabeth did not like his answer so she called out "Tia Dalma? What should we do?"
Tia then came out of her hiding place and said to Davy Jones "It's been a long time, Captain". Jones then replied angrily "You should be punished for what ye did to me! Men grab her!" But before the men were able to get her, she ran towards Elizabeth and whispered to her "Go to the nearest island". Tia then raised her hands and snapped and she disappeared. Davy Jones' crew then stopped and most of them whispered to each other in shock and disbelief.
Jones then shouted, "We got no reason to be here, raise the anchor and prepare to sail!" A few moments later the Flying Dutchmen went back into the water. Elizabeth then gasped confused at all the events that had just happened in such a short period of time. Elizabeth and Gibbs were the only two left on the ship, and Gibbs was the first to react "What did Tia say to you?" Elizabeth thought back and remembered, "Sail to the nearest island". Gibbs then shouted "Sail to the nearest island, we shall!"

Minutes later Elizabeth and Gibbs arrived on the nearest island just like Tia had told them too. Elizabeth walked along the sand and then saw Tia. She screamed "Tia Dalma". Elizabeth watched Tia smile in the distance and then Tia began to walk to her. Elizabeth then said "Gibbs, mind the ship!" Gibbs nodded, and then Elizabeth asked Tia "What is going on? I am very confused!"
Tia smiled then replied, "So you should be. But we both know what you want, and you want Jack." Elizabeth looked at the sand sadly and replied "Not anymore. After all the lies…" Tia interrupted "What lies? William is the one that has been lying! Jack came back to this time because he wanted you, not because of Davy Jones' locker…Well, because of that too".
Tia then snapped her fingers and the Black Pearl appeared before her and Elizabeth. Elizabeth gasped and then said "The Black Pearl…" Elizabeth examined it and then saw Jack. She then yelled out "Jack!" Tia then said, "He can't hear you child! You want to know the truth about Davy Jones' locker? Well, this is what happened. That Jack in front of you, is the Jack from the locker. Now watch closely, because now you're going to see what really happened to him then".
Elizabeth watched the 'locker' Jack examine his ship. She then saw a woman walking towards him. Elizabeth then gasped and exclaimed "Why, that's me! What am I doing here?" Tia then pointed to the other Elizabeth while explaining, "Ah, you see she is a hallucination. The 'locker' Jack dreamed her up. (Pause) I trust that Jack had told you what happened in the locker. Well, even if witty Jack has, I'll explain it again. The things you once loved will haunt you, and visions of darkness will appear."
Elizabeth was about to respond when Tia then said "Shh… quite girl. They are about to talk". Elizabeth watched the 'locker' Elizabeth and the 'locker' Jack come face to face. Then the 'locker' Jack said, "Lizzie, you're here? How did you get here, luv?" The 'locker' Elizabeth then answered "I came to say goodbye to you. Will and I are getting married tomorrow".
The real Elizabeth then gasped as the 'locker' Elizabeth continued, "I just don't love you Jack. I never did, I believe the William is the one for me." The 'locker' Jack then grabbed the 'locker' Elizabeth by the hand and told her "No, luv. Don't marry him, you'll be making a mistake". The 'locker' Elizabeth then replied, "The only mistake I ever made was kissing you."
The real Elizabeth gasped then said Tia "I feel terrible." Tia then replied, "It gets worse child. (Pause) Every night Jack dreamed of you and Will together, and of you two getting married, and all that. For weeks Jack heard you say that you love Will, and he could not take that anymore so he started going crazy. Getting all his priorities mixed, like he imagined thousands of him, so they could take the pain that he was forced to go through."
Elizabeth then sighed and said, "That's awful. I feel horrible." Tia then snapped her fingers once more and the locker Jack disappeared before her. Tia then told Elizabeth "The only thing you should feel is that want for Jack. (Pause) Beautiful ring, Elizabeth! It's a shame that Jack wasn't the one to give it to you, even though it is his".
Elizabeth gasped in shock and then she asked Tia "how do I find Jack?" Tia then chuckled and said, "We'll find a way."

Mean while on the Flying Dutchmen the real Jack Sparrow and his father were stuck in the cellars. I heard the door open and then asked, "Who's there, and do you have rum?" Bootstrap Bill appeared and then sat down beside my father and I. He then handed us water and said "If the Captain found out I came down here, he'd slit my throat." I then asked him "Then why are you down here Turner? Come to kill us yourself, just like your son?"
Bill then said "You can insult me all you want, mate. But don't you dare insult my son! Yes, he's made a few mistakes, but I am here to untie them. I want to help you."
My father then asked "Why?" Bill then replied, "I want to see my son. I abandoned him once I don't want to abandon him once again."
I looked at my father and then once more at Bill and asked "What's your plan?"
