Gibbs helped Jack up on the ship. Will came running towards him.
"Well? Is she in there?"
"William, you hurt me. Don't you see someone missing?", Jack replied
Will shrugged
"Emma?", Jack said in an obvious tone
"Oh, where is she? Is she ok? I'm sorry, Jack, but is Elizabeth in there or not?"
"Yes! She is!"
"Great, except what is she doing in there? Why isn't she on the ship?"
"Tia Delma"
"What about her? Look I'm more concerned about many family than…"
"Yes well it's a very good thing that she's now got your family along with my own but the good news is that she's ready to bargain"
"Look, I'll give her anything. Name it"
"Your heart"
"What?", Will wasn't sure if he heard correctly
"Your heart, Will. She wants your heart to bring Davy Jones back to life. She has his body and she needs a heart"
"How on Earth is that news good?"
Jack shrugged "I didn't want to upset you all of a sudden"
"So with my heart she can bring him back him life? Why? After all he did to her, I mean, he betrayed her, what makes her think he won't do it again?"
"Oh I don't know, change of heart I guess" He paused and looked at Will "Literally"
"So, what did you say to her after she told you to bring my heart?"
"I told her I'd give it to her"
"You what? Without even consulting me?" he asked angrily
"Oh, as if you were standing right there by my side helping me! I was hoping you'd come up with the rest of the plan."
"What plan? You haven't even come up with one! I am willing to bet that you're making up stuff along as you go!"
"Well I…I can't argue with that.", he replied sheepishly. "Anyways you have no idea! I had no clue what to say to her, I was just trying my best to…"
"Clues!", Will interrupted Jack "Anyways we've got even a bigger problem", he said going into his cabin
"Oh, what is it now?", Jack followed him in
"I don't have the heart"
"What?"
"I gave it to Elizabeth when I left her. I told her to take care of it and I don't know where she kept it to keep it safe"
"Oh, that is a problem", Jack bit his lip "The only thing we could do is go back in there and ask her"
"Jack I don't think Tia Delma knows that Elizabeth knows about the heart" Will said searching through his drawer
"What makes you think that?" Jack said sitting down on one of the chairs next to Will's bed "Will, this raises a lot of questions like why did she keep Elizabeth and little Will all these years? And why did she involve Emma? And why is Norrington alive?"
Will looked up from his table; it looked as if he was searching for something "James is alive?"
"Yes." Jack replied "Anyways, the questions…why did she not ask Elizabeth? Why didn't she just ask for this before? I mean why now, after 17 years?"
"Why doesn't she come and take the heart herself?, Will asked
"Oh that's because you're immune to her powers, she can't hurt you."
"Why?"
"Well, Will it makes sense, she originally cursed Davy Jones, maybe she did it on purpose, you know to make sure she never hurts him."
"Oh, and what did you ask her in return?"
"What do you mean?", Jack said innocently
"Jack, I know you too well, what did you ask in exchange for my heart?"
"The Pearl"
"Oh right. Blackbeard"
"How much did Gibbs tell you?"
"Not much" Will said, now searching yet another drawer
"You know I know Tia Delma is lying. I searched every corner of that Island and but she says that we never searched it properly and it has other places as well but I think that we were not even on the island…William what on Earth are you looking for?"
"Clues"
"Sorry?"
"Ever since Elizabeth was kidnapped she had been handing me things, telling me things. I wrote them down on a piece of paper and put all those things in this room, all I have to do is collect them and see", Will was now piling things up on his wooden table
"See what?"
"Clues, whatever she sent me meant something. I never realized it before until the flower. But now I see it, almost everything she sent me leads to Isla de Muerta." Will picked up a gold coin form the table and showed it to Jack "Look, a gold coin, gold…there's gold in the Island. And then the flower, it grows in Isla de Muerta and then she sent me a stone. Look, Jack, this is one of the stones that is outside the Island." Will said. Jack nodded "And she also sent me other things, they are not good clues but who can blame her? I mean there isn't a lot of good stuff at the Island"
"So, let's figure out where your heart is", Jack said looking at some of the things in the pile.
"Ok, well first let's just sort out the ones leading to Isla de Muerta; it'll be easier that way"
It took them an about half an hour to sort the big pile into two, but eventually they did. They kept only the pile they wanted to search on the table and put the rest away
"Ok then", Jack said picking up an object from the pile "This is a boot, does this make any sense to you, Will?"
"I don't know, really. What about this, it is a sword. What do I make of that?"
"And on the list you made, you wrote 'a kiss'. What does that mean?"
"Well, she kissed me in my dream that night. She never kissed me before so I figured it meant something"
"And then there is this black cloth. That's a stupid clue!"
Will looked at the cloth that Jack held in his hand. He then looked at all the other stuff on the table. There was a sudden emotion of anger, frustration and the next thing Jack knew, Will was throwing the stuff on the floor angrily, shouting
"Why? Why is this happening to me!? Why me? Why did I get cursed! Why couldn't someone else be in my place? I would've been living happily with my family if it wasn't for this bloody curse!", Will soon got tired and sat on his bed with his head in his hands
"I'm sorry, mate", Jack whispered to him
"You have no idea Jack, how much I wish I wouldn't have left my family unprotected like that. I mean, I just left. If I could've set a pirate of the Flying Dutchmen free, and in return, ask him to protect my family, I wouldn't be so sorry right now"
"Yes well, you have no idea how many times a person wishes to go back in time and just hold on to that last moment when you saw her, don't let her slip"
"Yes well, that sounds close to impossible but…last moment", Will stood up and started collecting the things he'd thrown around.
"What now?"
"Last moment, Jack! It does make sense! The last time I saw Elizabeth, she was wearing a black dress"
"So that covers the black cloth". Jack said picking the cloth up from the floor
"And we kissed"
"That covers the kiss but that seems kind of a weird clue"
"And the boot, Elizabeth wore it and then I took it off of her"
"Ok, these clues make no sense, Will, I'm sorry but if you say so, I believe it"
"Well what so you expect Jack? I mean, I don't think she could've given me a full dress or four pair of boots. She doesn't have many things to give"
"Which pops another question: How was Elizabeth able to communicate with you?"
"Does it matter? We have to go to that island, where we last saw each other. I can never forget that place because it was the last time I saw her"
"Yes but are we going to dig the whole place? Didn't she tell you the exact location?"
"She did" he smiled
"And what's that?"
Will picked up a sea shell "There was a whole bunch of them there, all together in one place. I reckon that's where it is"
"Ok then, let's go"
Will went out on deck and closed his eyes, and before they knew it, they were in front of the Island where Will last saw Elizabeth.
