Eve stood at the prow, staring to the distance as the Pearl now sailed to lead the attack. It was happening. She sighed and gripped her medallion, squeezing it.

"Please mother. Give me your protection this one more time", she whispered to the wind, which now blew in angry gusts as the storm had now spread above them darkening the sky. Eve then wrinkled her brows and returned back to the main deck.

"Have you noticed, on top of everything, it's raining!?" Pintel irritated voice exclaimed a bit farther ahead and Eve lifted her eyes to see him walk over the deck Ragetti after him.

"That's a bad sign!" Ragetti answered, Gibbs then storming from their side.

"Man the capstan. Raise the main topyard. And keep that powder dry!" he commanded walking along the deck, men immediately doing what he ordered.

"Wonder if that last is possible!" Eve then said, giving Gibbs amused smirk as he looked at her surprised, but then answered the smile spite of the tense expression on his face.

Eve then happened to look back at sea and she frowned for surprise, then lifting her gaze up. The clouds were starting to circle again and the surface of the rocking sea also twirled. A vortex was forming as they spoke.

"Gibbs!" she exclaimed waving at the man who then rushed to the rail to her, also seeing the forming vortex with widened eyes. "This is not good!"

"Your aunt's gonna kill us!" Gibbs then stated until turned around, screaming the top of his lungs. "Maelstrom!"

Will and Elizabeth standing with Barbossa and Cotton at the helm now also hurried to see the vortex, looking as shocked as everyone seeing it. Elizabeth then whipped around toward the pirate captain.

"Captain Barbossa!" she exclaimed, stepping to the man. "We need you at the helm!"

"Aye, that be true!" Babossa agreed looking satisfied after staring at Elizabeth measuring. Eve now followed him to take a hold of the helm. "Brace up yards, you cackhanded deck apes!" he then shouted over the pouring rain. "Dying is the day worth living for!"

Eve smirked. He was completely in his element.

"You heard him! Brace up those yards!" Eve repeated.

She turned and saw Elizabeth looking at her from the helm. Eve smiled at her and started walking, crossing the deck just as the ship was close to sail straight into the vortex, climbing up the stairs. Elizabeth hurried to her.

"Take care of yourself, okay?" she then said. "I want you to show me your ship after this all is over."

Eve let out a laugh. "When have I not taken care of myself?" she asked sarcastically. But then gave Elizabeth a gentle look and hugged her. "You take care too. Of course you have to see your ship after this all is over."

They separated and Elizabeth gave Eve a brow-lifting, but she only smiled amused. Then Eve's eyes turned to look at Will once, they locking gazes briefly until they all turned to follow as Barbossa peered the ship all the time more into the vortex. Lighting struck in middle of the formed whirlpool and Eve frowned. Oh yes, they would so die.

"On second thought, you might want rephrase your words", she then stated giving Elizabeth a bit nervous look after staring at the nearing pit of possible death. Soon Will spoke up as the ship turned to follow the circle of water.

"She's on our stern and speeding!" he exclaimed, looking back at Barbossa and Eve saw the Dutchman indeed approach them from behind.

"More speed! Haul your wind and hold your water!" Barbossa commanded then, turning the helm a half circle.

Eve and Elizabeth grabbed the rail and followed the ship turn, starting to bent deeper they continued into the vortex. But suddenly a flying cannonball broke a pillar next to Barbossa, startling the girls as it nearly hit them, eventually landing against one man on the lower deck.

"Take us out or they'll overbear us!" Will exclaimed, stepping next to Barbossa. But he ignored Will giving him a look.

"Nay, further in. We'll cut across to faster waters", was his answer again turning the helm. Eve and Elizabeth exchanged a look.

"Prepare the broadside!" Elizabeth shouted, gazing over the deck. The random cannonballs shot from the Dutchman flew past them, until after a while the Pearl was across it riding the whirl at the other side.

Eve gave it a glare and walked forward, jumping on the rail. She grabbed the ratline and took in a breath, then closing her eyes tightly.

"Eve, what are you doing?!" Elizabeth shouted, Eve sighing.

"Causing some trouble!" she answered simply, then concentrating lifted her arm turning it, until after a moment made a satisfied smile as another cannonball was shot from the Dutchman. But it had hardly left the cannon until it exploded never leaving, breaking the side of the Dutchman.

Eve relaxed as Will, Barbossa and Elizabeth stared in awe, Eve jumping down.

"Are you crazy? You can't do things like that, it's dangerous!" Will exclaimed then, giving Eve a serious look. But she only answered it bored, lifting up that same brow as always when Will fussed over things.

"To who? Dangerous to them, or are you afraid of getting one of those exploding cannonballs right under your feet, Mr. Turner?" Eve asked back sarcastic, even she knew perfectly well what he had meant. "It worked, didn't it?"

Will stared at Eve dumbfounded, who only grinned at him amused but then also he smirked. Eve tilted her head and returned next to Elizabeth.

"That was great!" she said tugging Eve's arm. Eve cocked her brows.

"Oh please, don't get too excited! I just had to break something so that this wouldn't get too boring. I wish I could blow the whole ship into smithereens…"

"Captain the guns! Bear a hand!" Gibbs shouted on the main deck.

"Don't let us run out! Shoot only when you have to and use half of the cannons!" Eve then cut in, leaning over the rail to look at him. He nodded.

"Muster your courage men! At the ready", Will then shouted as hurried down, handing over the firing sticks to the men loading the cannons.

"Batten down the hatches!"

"Hold it! Do not fire until under!" Eve shouted, now also leaving the upper deck and went down the steps. But then finally the order came.

"Fire!" Barbossa shouted, Elizabeth repeating, same order emanating from below.

"Fire!"

"Fire all!"

The Pearl pulsed as the cannons were fired, Eve watching some of them hit the target and a few of them missing.

"Again! Only half of the cannons!" she shouted, the men immediately working to prepare the next attack as the cannonballs from the Dutchman shook the ship.

"Fire!" Will shouted, and the next launch of cannons started, they getting attacked back as fast.

The ships continued circling in the vortex firing at each other, men flying and running around by the hits and preparations for attacks.

"Again!" Eve heard herself exclaimed who knew how many number of times already. She rolled her eyes. Her old self started to sneak back. "Save the shots! Only half!"

She was then shocked as one cannonball flew just past her, giving her a déjà vu of a faraway past from a fight and sending wood flying all around, both she and Will falling on the deck. The man taking care of the cannon next to the spot the hit had landed had died. Eve cursed.

"Again!" she shouted once more, now grabbing the firing sick fallen on the deck and leaped to the cannon.

Will gave her then slight measuring look as she then handed the firing stick to another sailor, preparing the cannon and then firing it after the order, completely accustomed. Will's brows rose.

"What are you staring at?" Eve's voice did then asked in middle of loading the cannon again, glancing at him before fired it. Will then smirked.

"You", he answered truthfully. "I'd never thought of seeing you like this."

"Trust me, I'm far from those fancy balls and fine dresses. This is the real me", Eve answered, now firing the cannon the third time in the same tempo until eventually gave her job to another, stepping away from the cannon.

Eve stared at the Dutchman. It didn't show any signs of defeat, and probably wouldn't. She frowned for irritation. But then she accidentally met Will's eyes once more until he nodded, turning around and started to race through the deck full of flying objects from enemy cannonballs to the pieces of the ship to men.

Yes, Eve was very different. And Will saw it now. He knew as he ran through the men toward the helm. He understood.

"It be too late to alter course now, mateys!" Barbossa exclaimed then from the helm, laughing amused as turned the ship again by the vortex's flow.

All of a sudden just as Eve handed a cannonball to a sailor, she froze as saw a vision.

Jones stood on the deck of the Dutchman, Beckett's men dead and Mercer standing now alone before him looking rather nerve wrecked. And then Eve felt her brows wrinkle as witnessed Jones grab him. A cruel smile on his face his tentacles reached up Mercer's throat, invading in his mouth and ears, sticking out of his nose as well as he pleaded mercy. But eventually he suffocated and fell on the deck now dead too, as Jones pulled the key to the chest from his neck, that same cold smile on his lips.

Eve trembled. "You monster", Eve whispered opening her eyes, glaring over at the Dutchman. "I hope she'll show you what true despair is…"

But then she saw something else. Jack?

He was holding the chest, now hitting a cannon with it making him fly by a rope to the air, landing on a sail. Eve frowned again. Well, at least he was alive. But close to not that either as Jones then followed him, them starting to fight over the chest.

"Lady!" then suddenly someone exclaimed and Eve felt someone grab her shirt, pulling her down with him as yet another cannonball flew just by the spot she had stood.

Eve gave the sailor a bit bewildered look. Why did she had to have these dazes right in middle of the near death situations? She sighed.

"Thank you", she said to the man quickly.

She stood up, then rushing away from the rail, avoiding the other cannonballs flying around her as made her way forward, diving behind masts and jumping out of danger, many times nearly getting hit. How long would they be able to take this?

But then suddenly she noticed men starting to swing themselves from the Dutchman aboard the Pearl, the crew of their ship doing the same. The ships were now very close to each other, still circling.

Eve took a leap forward, pulling out a dagger from her boot and threw it straight into the throat of one man almost reaching the rail of the Pearl, making him lose his hold of the rope and falling down into the twirl of water. She then took another leap and pulled out her pistols, starting to fire with many others beside her on the deck, Will as one of them.

Will shot everything he saw coming from the Dutchman but soon he ran out, throwing the pistol away. But Eve's voice woke his attention.

"Here!" she exclaimed, throwing her other pistol to him with an arch, Will catching it. "Have fun with it, it's full loaded!"

Will sent her a smile, but she didn't see it as Eve shot another enemy, until then tackled one man who had reached the deck and tried to attack her.

Eve hit her knee on his stomach, making him bent down and hit her elbow now on his back until gave the finishing blow by circling him, pulling out her sword and pierced him. Eve pulled her sword back meeting Will's eyes, which were still watching her. But she then soon turned around clashing her blade with two enemies, then shooting them one by one and pushed them away from her path as she continued toward the stern. The Pearl was now full on uniforms and Jones' men.

Eve encountered some familiar faces of Jones' crew, they also remembering her from earlier times she had beat their asses. And angry for this they assaulted her with all their hate, but made her only easy to beat them again and much quicker.

Eve let out irritated cry as then someone directed a hit at the base of her neck, making her fly forward and hit against the wall with force, immediately that same one grabbing her hair, pulling her only to be thrown back with as much force.

Eve's sword had pried loose from her hand as she now looked at her attacker, being some Jones' crewman she hadn't met.

He grabbed her again about to pierce her. But making angry face Eve took this as an advantage, gliding down against the wall and leaning his hand and the wall she lifted her body up, kicking him on his chest. He retreated and Eve took her sword, immediately up and swung it in her hand ready to attack. But someone beat her to the chase.

She saw the crewman's chest being pierced by a blade, but much thinner than what the rest of the enemies used. But then as it was pulled out and the attacker kicked the crewman, making him kneel and then swung him around, Eve noticed staring at a sword decorated by a silver rose and she froze. John.

Eve let out a breath. "John?" she asked, then making a spin as a group of enemies rushed to attack them, a couple of them getting surprised as John started to hack them instead of helping them, quickly him and Eve defeating the bunch and stopping to stare at each other again.

"Why are you doing this?" Eve asked. "You get yourself trouble by siding us!"

John stepped to her, looking deep into Eve's eyes and touched her cheek briefly.

"I told you. I couldn't protect you from the Dutchman. But now, I can do it", he answered sincerely, smiling. Eve sighed.

But then suddenly Will showed up, slicing at one enemy before him until froze seeing John with Eve, who also looked at him as he arrived. Will eyes traveled from John to Eve, who did the same with the men. John then made a knowing smile.

"But I guess there's now someone else to do it for me", he said giving Will a remarkable short stare. Until then smiled again, meeting Eve's eyes once more which were now slightly confused. He leant over to Eve's ear.

"Be happy with him", he whispered, Eve wrinkling her brows until he then landed final, light kiss on the side on her head then leaving, holding up his sword and attacked one of the Jones' crewmen. Eve looked after him surprised slightly and Will also gave him a bit odd look.

"He's with us?" he asked, Eve shaking her head.

"I guess he is…"

Then two shouting enemies ran toward them, other being a navy officer and the other Jones' crewman. Will and Eve gave them a look until locked gazes, Will then smirking amused and surprised Eve by offering his hand.

"Shall we?" he asked, Eve getting another déjà vu. But she then only rolled her eyes also smiling, now they together running to receive the attackers hand in hand like long time ago at Isla de Muerta, now changing sides as attacked the men.

Eve got the one with a crab sticking out of his face and directed a straight hit on it, making it fall off. Will in the other hand met the officer's blade, then attacking with many quick, skillful blows until managed to outrun his opponent, his defense now faltering and Will leaped forward, slicing his chest under his arm.

The man fell, Will letting out a breath but then Eve's voice interrupted him.

"You done soon?" it called sarcastically and Will turned, surprising as he now saw her fight against three new men, two other rushing to join in the game and the one Eve had fought before now laid on the deck moaning, holding his head.

Will saw her glance at him amused, until kicked a man in front of her, then leaping and making him fall on his back as the rest followed, Eve turning and forcing them back. Will snorted and smirked, then joining the fight taking two of the four still standing.

"You never couldn't have resisted an urge to gain glory, have you?" Eve asked again sarcastic, now grabbing her current opponent's head and pulled him toward her, locking it between her arm and side and landed a painful kick with her knee, kicking the other now trying to outrun her with her right one, the man in her hold dropping.

Eve heard Will utter a laugh as she lifted her left leg again for a blocking kick, crossing blades with the earlier evaded attacker.

"And you never have learned to share!" Will joked back, as well kicking one of his opponent's and giving three quick blows to the other with his sword, the fourth hitting on the enemy's neck. But then suddenly he grabbed Eve, turning her around.

"I swing you", Will said amused, Eve realizing now what he meant after a moment on confusion. She shook her head sighing.

"You really picked a wrong moment for a dance", she stated. Will smiled as took a hold of her, swinging her past himself.

Eve was now fighting Will's last opponent, who turned out to be much tougher case. Eve answered his strong hits equally, but not gaining any chance to strike and win him over. She made a spin, kicked him making him fall back momentarily. Until then an outsider rushed toward Eve's left.

Eve glanced at the officer, but he didn't get a chance to reach her as Eve then suddenly made a sideway volt away from Will, the officer stopping to stare at her in surprise as Eve now stood in front of him, then quickly grabbing his hand holding the sword and twitched it. His sword dropped due the pain the movement caused, Eve then sweeping him off his legs.

The soldier was only a young man, not more than 18. And he looked scared as stared at Eve.

He fell and Eve leant over him, staring at him remarkably for a moment. She lowered her sword.

"Go before you die", she said seriously, seeing confusion in the young man's eyes. But then immediately she turned around, leaping back to Will who had taken out two of the men they had been fighting, including the tough one, but two others had joined.

Eve came back just in time and surprised Will by sending a kick under his arm onto one of the men's shoulder, then grabbing Will's own and swung herself around him making the rest of the men fall down also. Will blinked and looked down at her.

"What happened to the promise "I'll always have your back"?" he asked, voice half surprised half amused as took a hold of Eve's arm. Eve lifted a brow.

"You're alive, aren't you?" Eve answered with another obvious answer, nodding to the men on the ground.

But then she smirked amused, taking out her sword again and then yanked another hidden dagger out from her bosom and threw it at one enemy, making him fall down. Then Eve circled to keep Will's back. Will smirked to himself and shook his head.

The trio came back up, attacking first one by one at Will who then took care of them and sent them behind himself to Eve, who hammered them with her own sharp quick hits and slashes, until they realized to split, one man staying to fight Eve as the two others tried to win over Will.

Will hacked them, meeting their swords one by one until then hit the man on the left on his face and blocked the right one's hit.

"Now!" he exclaimed and Eve pushed the man assaulting her back, Will pulling her around and they exchanged places just like once in the past, Eve gaining speed turning and tripping the man ready for her, then jumping over him and pierced the man waiting behind him. Quickly she pulled the blade out and turned, shoving him straight against the man who now stumbled on his feet, who then got pierced by Eve's opponent's blade, both falling down. She then watched as Will stroke down the two soldiers harassing him.

Will jumped back as avoided the hit aimed at his head, then blocking the attacker's blade pinning it down, changing his sword hand and pushed it through him with his left. The second one came rather quickly and Will was a bit surprised, taking a couple of steps back as met his sword. But then Will just pushed him back, making him retreat more as then he had cornered the soldier between himself and Eve.

The soldier noticed her and crossed his sword with Eve's, giving her a few blows. Eve stopped, holding up his sword as then saw more men running toward them. She sighed, Will getting engaged to another fight.

Eve then pushed the crewman's blade away,then trying to kick him, but surprisingly he was fast enough to grab her ankle. Eve lost her balance as he swung her on the deck, trying to slash her. But Eve rolled her body, now kicking him to his side making him stagger which was enough for her to stand up.

Eve stood up trying to grasp her pistol, but got shocked momentarily as fumbled nothing, then remembering she had thrown away the empty pistol. She cursed.

"Here!" Will then shouted suddenly, Eve now just in time grasping the pistol she had given him. Eve looked at him a bit dumbfounded but saw him grin before slashed the man he was fighting. "It's not fully loaded but have fun with it!"

Eve let out amused breath and fired it, shooting her current resistor with it. And then the next one running toward her, then taking a step forward and hurried to the crowd of men, Will in the middle. Will had his hands full with two men fighting his front, but he was harassed by two others, him sometimes giving them random hits as they leapt forward to attack him.

Eve now stepped behind the two, tapping them on their shoulders and as they turned Eve hit them, one with the pistol and one with the sword, then taking her place behind Will again after a moment of separation and faced the two as they stood up.

Quickly they both managed to beat the men, making them tire after many complicated patterns of hits and eventually them falling down defeated. Will then sensed someone behind him and whipped around. He grabbed the person but to only notice it was who else than Eve, him squeezing her against himself his arm locked over her chest, his blade on her neck.

"I'd rather die in hands of someone else than you", Eve said smiling a bit, pushing away Will's sword. Will then suddenly turned her around quickly.

"I know what I want!" he said then suddenly completely serious, making Eve frown for confusion as she met his eyes briefly.

"Great, but that is related to this how so that you have to tell me now?" Eve asked somewhat bewildered, then separating from Will as blocked an enemy attack pushing his sword down with her own,Will then lifting his blade as they both pierced the man. But two others followed.

Will pulled Eve with him, them retreating to the stairs leading to the back deck.

"I have to tell you! It's important!" Will exclaimed then stopping, turning to face the other enemy. Eve stopped a bit higher and immediately slashed the other rushing up to her.

"Of course it is… Have you spoken with Elizabeth?" Eve asked back, referring to their earlier conversation as slashed at the man against her, then pushing him back and hurried the rest of the stairs up. Will followed, and the fight continued now on the upper deck as new soldier rushed to the scene, bringing Jones' men with him.

"No!" Will answered, hitting one of Jones' men on his torso. Eve sighed.

"Then what could it possibly be what you want?" Eve asked back in doubt, avoiding her attacker.

He crashed against the rail and she pushed him over. But Eve was then surprised as she was yanked around, only to have a broad blade swung toward her neck. Eve dodged, leaning dangerously over the rail. She kicked the man attacking, then returning back on the deck and made a tired face.

"Now finally you die!" who else than Cripple said to her, holding up that wide weapon of his having a grimace on his face. Eve rolled her eyes.

"Why can't you just die?" she answered irritated, then letting out a cry of annoyance as attacked him, hitting him twice with her sword. But he blocked them, Eve then separating and circling to the side where she attacked again.

But Cripple dodged. And then as he pushed Eve away with force, in a blink of an eye he was just before Eve surprising her, then trying to push his blade through her. But Eve swung backward as fast as she could, just before the tip pressed into her flesh. But in the process she tripped and fell, giving Cripple an opening to attack.

"Now you pay!" he exclaimed, lifting up the blade and Eve froze.

She didn't have time to dodge and she gasped as the blade was about to hit her. But it was blocked by Will's who had taken care of his opponents and rushed to help Eve, now lifting up Cripple's weapon with huge strength.

Eve gave him quick surprised look until was yanked up by him and then pushed back, Will glaring at Cripple who did the same recognizing him.

"It's you!" he spit, letting out angry cry and attacked.

But Will stepped aside letting him continue a couple of steps, Eve stepping back away from Cripple. But Will now ran, jumping up as turned his blade, landing it straight through Cripple's back, just before he could reach Eve.

Eve sighed and leant against the rail relieved. Her sword was out of her reach at the other side of the deck and she was weaponless.

"You touch her, I kill you", Will said to Cripple furious, now pulling his sword out with a quick move and as quickly turned before Cripple, slashing his neck and shoulders, making him stagger back until he was shoved by Will and fell over the rail too.

"…If I didn't do it already", Will then finished.

Eve let out another breath, until jolted slightly as Will turned to stare into her eyes.

"I know what I want, Eve. It cannot wait!" Will repeated completely serious again. Eve shook her head.

"And what is that?" she asked, now lifting her left brow as a tired gesture as looked at Will questionable.

But then she was completely surprised as next Will grinned, stepped forward and pulled her to him, kissing her with no moment of hesitation. And it was not a simple light peck, but a kiss. True kiss.

Eve blinked for shock, not realizing what was going on. But then she didn't care.

Warmness and sudden joy spread in her chest and she let out a sigh, now letting Will kiss her as he did, the kiss being confusingly much more passionate than those two quick kisses they had shared. Will pushed Eve back gently against the rail, Eve's hands slowly making their way on his chest.

But then Will pulled away, looking straight into Eve's warmed but confused eyes.

"It's you I want, Eve. I want you", Will then continued, Eve staring at him thunderstruck now forgetting completely the situation they were in.

She didn't understand, but she saw truth in Will's eyes. Those eyes she had feared to look into. Will's smile widened.

"Will", she said as nothing else came out. But Will continued.

"I am now sure. About everything. I'm not confused anymore and I know what I want. I know to whom my love belongs…" Will said, shouting over the pour of rain, then leaning his head against Eve's.

"You've always been there for me and are very important to me. And now all this time when my heart has been separating from Elizabeth… It has made its way toward you. I understand it now. I love you, Eve. You finally made me see it as always…"

Eve was so surprised as she stared into Will's eyes in awe. But then she gave him a gentle look as affection took hold of her. That love she had banned as if locking it behind bars as her powers before now coming back, filling her with such happiness she couldn't have even imagined. But to hear Will say those words. Will… loved her. How could this be?

"Will…" she now said more softly, gazing at him intensely.

"I love you. And I know you love me", Will then said smirking, now amused. "So the only remaining question is… Will you have me?"

Will's voice had been sarcastic, but his eyes were serious, as Eve now followed him remove the silver ring she had given him from his finger, now pushing it back to its original place on Eve's. Eve blinked and breathed once for surprise, but then stared at the ring for a moment smiling.

"Will you have my back now… and forever?" Will then asked again, making the final question until then just stared at Eve smiling.

Eve couldn't believe this. But then Will only heard her utter amused laugh.

"Men and their theatrical questions", Eve then said with amused voice looking up at Will. But then now completely sure too what to do she kissed him, his arms now wrapping around her and pulling her close.

Will's inner rejoiced. This was what he wanted. He was now sure about it as he held Eve in his arms, as he had wanted for a long time deep down in him. And he was so relieved that just like that things were again like they were between them. They were inseparable.

That kiss was longer and more intense, until after that moment of affection Eve then pulled away, but rested her head against Will's for a brief moment her eyes closed. She smiled.

"Yes", she then whispered slightly amused. But it made Will's heart fill with warmness and happiness also as he now looked into Eve's eyes, seeing also nothing but truth in them. Eve then half closed her eyes.

"This better not be a joke, William Turner. Because it wouldn't be funny", she said then sarcastically, but a hint of uncertainty still visible in her tone. Will sighed and lifted her jaw.

"I did have a bite of your apple, didn't I?" he asked back, then smiling amused as Eve just gave him a weird look until uttered amused laugh. Right, something Jack had said a long, long time ago. But then Will made a face.

"John already handed you over to me because he saw how I feel for you. He knew I would take care of you instead of him, as he could see in me the same love which he once felt for you Eve! And …you said I'm not that funny anyway…" he added, Eve shaking her head.

"That's true. Especially when you're talking about John at the moment…"

Eve then separated from Will and walked past him, about to return to the fight. She turned around to see was he coming and Will grinned again, following her.

"I got what I wanted", he then said as they stopped momentarily to the stairs. "I saw you smile at me like you always do."

Eve smiled, sweeping her hand over his cheek briefly, until noticed her sword and picked it up. She then turned and hurried down, but was stopped by Will's hand as it pulled her back like many times before, but now it was different.

"Don't die", now he whispered in her ear, his voice now much harder by the seriousness. "I have thrown my lot in with you now after all."

Eve nodded, then smiling. "Wasn't planning on it."

Will leant his head down to place one more soft kiss on Eve's lips, her turning her neck around, until he separated and was the first to go down before Eve.

Will immediately attacked at their enemies, slowly making his way forward on the deck. Eve followed him for a while with her eyes, a smile still on her lips until also went down the steps, surprising one soldier by hitting him from his side, then making him fall before he had time to defend himself. After a couple of blows Eve won, him dropping on the deck.

Eve grinned. Will loved her. Will answered her feelings! She let out a disbelieving sigh. Could such happiness be true? And was it even acceptable at a situation like this? Eve let out a laugh. Yes. It was. To her at least.

Eve then gazed around. The battle didn't seem to have gotten into anyone's advantage in particular.

She now saw Will make his way to Elizabeth, them starting to fight together. Eve smiled. Her two friends. She prayed them to survive. Because even it would be hard enough to lose Elizabeth, she couldn't stand it if she would lose Will too… Loss of John had already been enough.

But Eve now shook these thoughts out of her mind and looked at the Dutchman. It was now very close, the sails of it nearly touching Pearl's. And then she got an idea, seeing every man now to have gathered aboard the Pearl.

Without a second thought Eve rushed to the rail, pushing one man out of her way and jumped on the rail, grabbing a rope. She turned to look at Will once more, but then happened to meet Elizabeth's eyes, smiling and nodding to her. And then letting out a breath Eve jumped, swinging herself aboard the Dutchman.
