Lana sat looking at the face that stared back in the mirror. She had woken up early and decided to make time tick faster by amusing herself with soaps and girly things that Elizabeth had provided her. She had stepped out of the steaming water amazed at how clean she looked and smelled. She could hear everyone down stairs and she could pick out Jack's voice most of all.

"Well, we must be out before midday. Lana?", she heard Jack call and knew it was time to go. She had barely talked to the newly weds but she was happy that she could finally leave Port Royal. As if struck by lightning Lana's heart gave a jolt and she knew she could not stay with Jack. She knew that in that moment she loved him in a way he could never love her back. She had promised herself never to do this but, Jack had been a friend first. Lana knew that the only way to stop this would be to let Jack leave out of her life forever. Yes, that's what she would do. She would tell Jack that she could not stay and let him sail away. She would then hopefully commandeer a ship and start a life all new. Tears welled in her green orbs at the thought of losing another wonderful life, ship, and friendship, but it had to be done.

Descending the staircase she said her good-byes before following Jack to the beach.

"Jack, I have made plans to commandeer a ship. I will thank you for your hospitality and say that you have been a great friend...I will never forget you.", Lana whispered as her voice cracked with every word.

"Lana, why..what are you saying? You are always welcome to stay. You are a member..", Lana interrupted.. "Please, don't make this harder. We had a wonderful friendship and a good time. We can't keep masquerading though, we need to move on.", the sobs wracked her body as Jack drew her closer looking into her eyes and realizing he could not change her mind. Slowly.. painfully, he nodded and walked toward the Pearl..he never turned back as Lana fell to her knees as she watched him go. She sighed and wiped her tears as she stood watching the Pearl and Jack sail away from her life forever.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack could not sleep and painfully he made his way to the deck. He knew he would never see her again. The crew had noticed the pain in their captain's voice when he had told them that Lana would no longer be with them. It was as if everything in the world didn't matter and she was his world. Jack had never thought he would feel this way and he knew she had thought the same.

Take the wave now and know that you're free.

Lana stood on the beach walking the shoreline her thoughts on the one man she had truly loved.

Turn your back on the land, face the sea.
Face the wind now so wild and so strong.

When you think of me, wave to me and send me a song.

Lana regretted her choice but there was no going back she was free once again but this time her heart was caged and the only one with the key was her old captain.

Don't look back when you reach the new shore.

Don't forget what you're leaving me for.

Don't forget when you're missing me so...

Love must never hold ,never hold tight but let go!

Jack stood as the sun rose and he knew he had to go back. He had to go back and find her...he...he knew it was right. He didn't know why but he just knew everything would be better if they were together.

Oh the nights will be long when I'm not in your arms but, I'll be in the song..that you sing to me. Across the sea somehow..someday!
You will be far away, so far from me.And maybe someday I will follow you in all you do
'Til then, send me a song

Lana let the tears fall as she sat overlooking the rising sun remembering when she had done it on the pearl!

When the sun sets the water on fire
When the wind swells the sails of your hire
Let the call of the bird on the wind
Calm your sadness and loneliness
And then start to sing to me
I will sing to you
If you promise to send me a song

I walk by the shore and I hear
Hear your song come so faint and so clear
And I catch it, a breath on the wind
And I smile and I sing you a song
I will send you a song
I will sing you a song
I will sing to you
If you promise to send me a song

There was no doubt that she had done the right thing and yet it felt so wrong. Before Lana could contemplate any longer she felt arms around her as she was talked to by a rough man. She felt herself fighting but, there was nothing she could do and slowly her mind lost focus and she went unconscious.

"Lock er in the brigg well av som un wit her laer!" a dirty man slurred as Lana's limp body was being carried off!
