Mr Gibbs was still a little shocked. But the Caribbean sun was setting now, and the waves glowed a deep orange. He approached Jack, who was gazing out to sea. "Something the matter Captain?" Gibbs asked.

"I just don't understand it mate. I should be happy that I got me freedom, but all I can see in me mind is her face as they led her away." Jack said miserably.

Gibbs raised an eyebrow. Could it be? "Jack, you know what it means if you regret leavin' her there."

Jack looked up. "What's that?"

Gibbs smiled. "The lass got to ye."

"No! I mean no, don't be ridiculous. Captain Jack Sparrow never feels anything for any woman! You should know that Gibbs."

"Aye, but I also know a man in love when I sees one."

Jack sighed, and faced the crew. "Turn around men, we're heading back to Caraba!"

Elizabeth was sitting on the jungle floor, tied to a wooden pole. Will was sitting beside her, to a separate pole. "So, I guess he used you like he uses all women." Will said sourly.

"Will, please. This is not the time." Elizabeth said wearily.

"No! It is the time. Don't you realise they're going to kill us?" Will cried.

"Will, calm down." Elizabeth said softly.

Will stopped, breathing hard. "We're going to die." he said sadly.

"Will, you don't know that."

"Yes I do."

"No- you" Elizabeth stopped as one of the Tribe came through the trees. He started to untie the rope that bound her to the pole, and then tied it round Elizabeth's wrists. He led her away as she gave Will one last look, and then they were gone. "Elizabeth!" Will cried.

The Black Pearl reached the island, and Jack was off, straight onto the sand.

He ran through the jungle, cutting down plants and everything that was in his way.

Will struggled at the ropes, trying to get them loose.

Jack burst through a clearing, and saw Will. "Where's Elizabeth?"

Will stared at him. "You-you came back?"

"Yes. Where is she?" Jack asked desperately.

"A Tribe guard came and took her through there."

Jack went to run, then remembered Will and untied him. "Get back to the Pearl." he ordered. Will nodded, and made his way through the jungle. Jack crept though the leaves. He saw then a sight that shocked him. Elizabeth was tied to a pole by a length if rope around her neck. The rope was long enough so she could move, but only a few steps. She sat on the ground, her face stained with tears.

"Alright love?" he asked, making his way to her.

"Jack! You came back!" she cried, overjoyed.

Jack untied the rope around her neck. Elizabeth drew her hand back and slapped him hard on the cheek, sending him reeling. "I think I may have deserved that." he said, before turning to face her and pulling her close. "Lizzie love-"

He was cut off by the yells of the tribe. "They're coming!" Elizabeth whispered, her eyes wide.

"C'mon!" Jack grabbed her arm and pulled her through the jungle, but a different way to the one he had come, they would follow that path. They were somewhere in the jungle, skulls dangling on strings from the trees, shouts echoing around them, when the stopped. Everything had gone silent. Jack raised his hand to his lips. Elizabeth nodded, and they stood still, breathing hard. "Don't worry, love. As a world-famous pirate of the sea, I was born with a brilliant sense of direction. The Pearl is this way." Jack said, pulling back a large palm leaf.

"Aah!" he yelled, jumping back as the Tribe Leaders daughter stood staring at them. "Oh, I was just, ah,"

"Jack Sparrow." the girl said, no emotion or expression in her words.

Jack stopped stammering and winced. "Yes?"

"Give me back my sacrifice."

"Well, actually, I can't do that." Jack said, in the reasoning way he had.

"Why not?" Nimeesha demanded angrily.

"Because darlin', I love this girl with all me heart and soul."

Elizabeth immediately looked at him when he said that. Jack stayed looking at Nimeesha, hoping that she would have the compassion to let them go.

Will Nimeesha let them go? R&R!
