AN- Ugh! I am so sorry, guys!! Review if you still remember this story! :P Life got caught up with me!

The Past Isn't The Past Anymore

- Outside the city of Atlantis -

William released his wife's cold, lifeless hand after he uttered those words. He stared down at her motionless body for any sign, but nothing happened. He closed his eyes, and let more tears roll down his cheeks as the thunder continued to roll through the early night sky. The waves crashed against the shoreline, and the seas were rough, no doubt in mourning over their goddess.

Jack held on to Saphira as she sobbed. Ana closed her dark eyes, and put her head on Rupert's shoulder as she stared down at Lila, shocked that this really did happen. Will kissed her hand, before resting it across her chest. Will got up from his knees, and turned away to the sea as the waves continued crashing upon the small island that was Atlanica and Atlantis. Suddenly, he heard Jack's gasp, as he almost breathlessly said to Will, "William."

"What?" Will said, surprised by the tone of his voice. And at that moment, a lightning bolt struck down from the heavens to where Lila laid. Will fell backwards as Rupert shielded Ana, and Jack pulled back Saphira. When the light parted, Will saw that Lila's body was no longer where it once lay. He got up, and yelled, "Lila!"

"Darling, don't get so fussy about it." Came a teasing voice from behind him. He froze on the spot as chills went down his spine. But soon, a smile spread across his face as he whirled around to look at her. She was smiling as she walked towards him. He froze for a moment, taking her in. She was in her true goddess form. Her usual wavy hair now hang loosely in ringlets cascading down her back. Her emerald eyes seemed to sparkle more, and a long, sea-blue, shimmering gown graced her body elegantly. And on top of her head was a small gold crown with various blue jewels on it.

A light seemed to be emitting from her as she walked towards Will. He finally got over his initial shock, and ran over to her. She smiled as he wrapped her arms around her, and brought her in for a kiss. She put her arms around his neck, and whispered in a teasing voice as a smirk appeared on her face, "Some voice you used there, darling."

"Shut up." He said, kissing her once more, before resting his forehead on hers. The storm still raged on behind her, and all Lila had to do was raise a hand and it was instantly calmed. She wrapped her arms around Will's waist as he whispered, "You scared me to death, Li."

"Querido-" She said to him, her Spanish nickname for him rolling over her tongue, "You forget one very important thing." He paused for a moment, before she said, "You are death."

He smirked and said, "True." He laced his fingers with hers, as she winked at him, and turned to see a very confused, possibly even scared Jack Sparrow standing before them. He was staring up at the sky, then back to Lila, then to the sky, then back to Lila, before looking over at Will, then of course back to Lila. He clicked his tongue, causing Rupert to wince as he always did at the sound of that obnoxious noise, "I'm confused."

"I gathered as much, darling." Lila said, trying to hide her smirk as Jack walked towards her. He stared at her, as if he thought she wasn't really Lila, and asked, "Where are the crabs?" Lila blinked, and asked, "Excuse me?"

"The crabs." Jack said, making a weird motion with his arms as if he was attempting a dance. "Calypso...turned into a bunch of crabs and you're...you didn't." Lila smiled and said, "Darling, some goddesses release differently." Will wrinkled his nose at that statement, trying to not see the different ways that it could possibly be twisted.

Jack pushed it aside, and wrapped his arms around, "All the same. You scared us." He kissed her cheek, and moved back, allowing Saphira to run over to her, and bascially tackle Lila to the ground. Lila was taken off guard for a moment as Will and Jack ran behind her to make sure that both girls didn't fall backwards off the small cliff.

"Saphie..." Lila said with a laugh as Saphira held her in a death grip. Saphie pulled back, tears still rolling down her cheeks as she said, "I thought you were dead!"

"Technically, I am."

Will nodded, almost in a sad way as he looked over at Saphie's now crestfallen face. Poor girl looked like she was near death's bed once again, no pun intended. Will sighed and said, "She's only back for a short amount of time."

"Then what?"

"Crabs." Everyone turned to look over at Jack who was standing behind Rupert, poking a fish that had flopped on the shore during the storm. Lila, keeping an arm around Saphie (who was still holding on to Lila as if she could evaporate at any moment) put her free hand on her hip and glared over at Jack as she spat, "Do you want me to turn into crabs?"

"'Course not, darlin'." Jack said, with a slight smirk. Rupert recovered first, and smacked Jack's head. When Jack looked over at him with a murderous look, Rupert glanced down at the struggling fish and said, "You're killing it."

"No I'm not-"

"-oh for heaven's sake." Will said, in an angry tone. He walked over to the dying fish, and gently took his foot and kicked it back into the water. Once it was swimming away, Jack smirked up at his former first mate and said, "Wha'? Didn't even ask it if it feared death." Will stared up at Jack, as if trying to figure out if he did indeed just say that. Lila sighed, and walked over to Will, wrapping a calming arm around his waist. Will leaned into her slightly, looking at Jack with a look mixed between that of amazement and pure disgust that Jack had actually said that. Jack smirked as the two of them walked down the path, Lila whispering something to her clearly distressed captain. Will ran a hand through his hair in a frustrated way, as Jack, Saphie, Rupert and Ana followed them down the path.

- Later that night -
- Atantis, Mercer's Hideout -

A single tear rolled down Calypso's cheek as Mercer smiled over at her. The storms raged on, though unknown to them, Atlantis was the only ciry recieving the storm worthing of hell. Lila had to make it all believable, and that meant keeping the ever raging storm going. As Mercer tossed the pot still emitting the purple mist to the side, he glanced over at the powerless goddess that hang on the wall where he had her chained. Her eyes darted on his own, and seemed to pierce right through his as she said, "There be day, ye will pay for wha' you've done."

"Judgement Day?" Mercer mocked, teasingly. "Darling, I don't fear death-"

"-well, mate. You had better start." Calypso's eyes darted towards the doors as they sounds of someone's boots walking down the hallway. Mercer lowered the sword he had been holding, and turned to the dungeon's doors. For a moment, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of water dripping from the cave's roof. Mercer squinted his eyes to see the figure that appeared before him. "Why should I fear it?" Mercer spat at him.

"Because, mate. I am death." Will said, taking a step down into the dungeon. Mercer's lips curved back into his usual eerie smile as Calypso looked up at the man she made captain. She struggled against the chains, causing Will to glance over Mercer's shoulder and ask, "Calypso?" She closed her eyes, as Mercer turned to Will and said, "I don't fear you."

"You should. Sorry if you don't think I should be rather upset that you killed my wife." Will narrowed his hazel eyes, pulling his sword out of it's holder and pointing it under Mercer's chin. Calypso struggled against the chains again, causing Will to look back over at her. Mercer pointed his sword at Will and said, "I don't fear the likes of you, Captain Turner."

"As I said...you'd better start." Will said, going at him with full force. He was living up to being the best sword fighter in the Caribbean as he distracted Mercer long enough for Lila to sneak in behind him and run over to Calypso. Calypso's eyes immediatley lit up when she saw Lila running to her, and after she released her, Calypso threw her arms around Lila. Lila smiled, and said, "Caly, I'm sorry."

"Darlin', don't be." Calypso said, pulling back and smiling down at her goddaughter. Lila returned her smile, and glanced back over at Will. She sighed when she saw Will cornering Mercer. Putting her hand on the hilt of her sword, Lila asked, "You need help, Will?"

"I'm...fine...love." Will said, dodging Mercer's attempted blows. Mercer momentarily tore his eyes off of Will, and turned to look at Lila who was standing in the corner with the now freed Calypso. He narrowed his eyes and yelled, "You're suppossed to be dead!!"

"Am I not?" Lila replied with a smirk, as Will continued to fight Mercer with more strength than before. But something happened along the way, and Mercer caught Will off guard, sending him flying backwards against the wall. Mercer laughed as he took his sword, and pierced Will with it. Will screamed out, and immediatley went limp.

"WILL!" Lila screamed, making a move towards Will. Calypso pulled Lila back and held on to her, not sure what just happened. Will should be alive...but he wasn't. Mercer smirked down at the lifeless form of William, then he turned to Lila and said, "I should fear death, should I?"

"As I said before, you should." Mercer's face immediatley fell when he heard that. He turned around to see Will standing behind him. With a smirk, Will said to him, "Come on, mate. Does the Immortal Captain William Turner mean nothing to you? I can't die." And with one swift motion, Will had Mercer's arm pinned behind him in a painful postion. Mercer rolled his eyes and yelled, "GUARDS!"

"Guards?" Will repeated in shock. "Oh bloody, bloody hell...Ladies?" Will grabbed both Calypso and Lila's arms, letting go of Mercer, and pulled them into the hallway as the dungeon began filling up with Mercer's guards. Still holding on to their arms, he said, pulling them close to him, "Alright, keep a firm grip on me." Calypso did it immediatley, as for Lila, well of course she poked her head back into the room to see what was going on.

"LILA!" Both Will and Calypso screamed at the same time. Lila got out of her own little world, and smiled over at them as she said, "Sorry, sorry." She put her arms around Will's waist. Will rolled his hazel eyes, putting his arms tightly around both goddesses, and closed his eyes...

"Bloody 'ell, where are they?" Jack said, leaning against the gold gates that led into the sparkling, glass-like city. Saphira, who had been staring off at the ocean, resisiting the urge to use her mermaid powers and jump in, turned back to her fiancee and said, "It's Will and Lila...I'm sure something...came up." Jack wrinkled his nose slightly at this, causing Saphira to laugh and walk over to him. She stood on her toes to kiss him, as she said, "Darling, honestly...you have got to stop being a protective older brother. I mean, don't get me wrong, I think it's adorable...but sadly, you know it will be the death of you."

Jack smirked down at her, kissing her, before he said, "I know."

Rupert walked towards Saphira and said, "Darling, you should see this." Saphie kissed Jack one more time, before following her brother a little ways into the city. Ana was looking up at it as well, as Rupert took Saphira's hand and practically pulled her over to the statue that Ana was looking at. Saphie smiled and said, "Rupert what?"

"Look." Saphie rolled her dark eyes, and stared up at the statue. The smile was instantly wiped off her face when she saw that the statue could have very well passed off as Saphira herself, just getting passed a few minor features like the nose and things...but other than that, it could have been of Saphira. The woman in the staute was half mermaid as she held on to what looked to be a seashell necklace. Saphie gasped and put her hand to the seashell necklace that she wore around her neck.

"Wha' are we lookin' at?" Jack said, coming up behind Saphira and wrapping an arm around her waist. Saphie, not looking at him, said quietley and in a shocked voice, "Athena."

Jack's face fell, causing Rupert to look over at him. Jack took his arm away from Saphira when he stared at the statue of Athena, and back down at Saphira. The resemblance was there...and if this meant what all of them were thinking, then Jack had killed Saph's mother.

"Jackie?" Saphie asked him, causing Rupert to lock gazes with the former admiral of Neptune's army. He was with Jack that day. He knew...he saw it...had Jack killed, who he now thought to be, his mother? Jack avoided both Saphira's and Rupert's gaze, as Saphira took both of his hands and said, "Jackie, love...what's-"

"-nothin'."

But it wasn't nothing. Not to him. It was a whole lot of something that everything to do but nothing about his fiancee. There was no sense in going back to the passed since it's already passed you. But when your past is looking to be no so passed as you thought, well, maybe it's about time to be going back to it.
