Chapter 13

"Lizze darling, please don't do this to me love" Jack begged, instantly at Elizabeths side. He slid an arm around her weak form, and pressed a chunk of his shirt to her chest. He could not even remember the sprinting across the deck to where she lay at the helm. The wound in her chest was gushing out blood at an alarming rate, she only had mere moments to live.

"Jack" Elizabeth said meekly, her eyes barely opening"Im so sorry"

"Why Lizzie, why are you sorry?" Jack asked in a hurried whisper, aware her time was slipping through his hands.

"Im sorry I didn't listen to you, that I did not come with you when you appeared in my room in port royal, I should have chosen you" She said in a pained voice, her breath coming out as sharp rasps.

"You mean you remember?" Jack asked shocked. "Oh Elizabeth he breathed".

As Jack went to stroke the side of Elizabeths face, she disappeared into thin air. It was as though the particles of her faded in colour until there was nothing left of her.

"Elizabeth,NO! " Jack screamed, out of frustration and heartbreak. Once again she was gone from him, This time she had remembered him. The stabbing pain he felt in his chest was as raw as the first time he lost Elizabeth.

"Jack Sparrow!" called a familiar voice from across the ocean. Jack stood up from where he had been crouching next to Elizabeth. The Dutchman had appeared next to the Pearl, its Captain standing proudly on the deck. Jack watched as Elizabeth reappeared next to Will on the Dutchman, back to full health,despite the massive wound on her chest. It took her a few moments to realize where she was.

"What have you done?" She screeched at Will,moving to grab her sword, only to find it was no longer there.

"Oh Elizabeth was I was only claiming back what was rightfully mine" He said with snarky smile, enjoying watching her anger flare up.

"I was never yours"She screamed, moving to attack Will with her bare hands. Two of his henchmen grabbing her roughly by the arms.

"I told you you would regret this, that you would regret choosing HIM!" The last word followed with a gesture towards to Jack, who was rooted by absolute shock to the deck of his ship.

"You are now" Will said, moving towards Elizabeth. He stopped in front of her, reaching his hand out to the wound on her chest. Elizabeth tried to squirm out of the grip of the henchmen with little luck. Even from the deck of the Pearl, Jack could see the coral that sprouted from where Wills hand touched Elizabeth skin, healing her wound and binding her to the ship. Will removed his hand and the henchmen realized Elizabeth where she collapsed to the deck. The rest of the Dutchman's crew laughed at her as she got to her feet.

"What have you done to me?" She asked in horror as she fingered the coral that was now a permeant part of her chest.

"Part of the crew part of the ship" Will said excitedly, "However most men only serve a hundred years at the mast, but you, no your special Elizabeth, someone so dear to my heart will serve at the mast forever".

Elizabeth stared at him, horrorstricken

"Oh and Jack" Will called, obviously enjoying himself "Unlike Jones, I was able to keep my heart firmly in my chest, so theres no use looking for it." he lightly slapped with chest to prove his point.

"Time to submerge men!" Will called to his crew. "Take one last look at Jack Elizabeth, for it will certainly be your last"He said in a cruel tone that ended with laughter.

"Jack I-" Called Elizabeth, the last part of her sentence washed away with the waves that submerged the Dutchman. Within seconds, the water where the Dutchman had been was smooth, as if the ship had never been there at all. Jack looked around at his crew helplessly, still shocked into silence.

"She's gone" Gibbs said sadly breaking the silence.

All of a sudden something snapped, and the world came crashing back to Jack, they were in the middle of a battle, a huge one that was not going to end well. As if to prove his point, a group of cannon balls pounded the Pearls starboard side, the sound of shattering and splintering wood followed, sending the crew diving for cover.

He had to get out. Jack looked around before running and driving off the side of the Pearl. It was not far to swim to Tia Dalamas from here, he had swam it many times before. It was easier to escape the chaos this way than on a ship. They were going to lose he already knew.

This was defiantly the worst time. Jack had watched Elizabeth die numerous times, but never before had she sentenced to an eternity of punishment.

A/N I felt really evil writing this! and sad :(
