A/N: I just want to thank all my reviewers again for the wonderful reviews. :) I updated quickly, just for the benefit of everyone! Just so everyone won't panic. :)


I awoke drenched in sweat in the strangest place of all. Where the hell was I? I flew up into a sitting position, hissing in pain as a wave of nausea washed over me.

"De're child." A silky voice said off from the side, and I felt a sudden cool rag placed on top of my head. "Relax."

"Where am I?" I lied back, accepting that this person was going to help me. I let my eyes close as I felt the rag against my forehead.

"Witty Jack brought ye 'ere." She cooed in my ear and I immediately jumped off whatever I was lying on.

"Where is Jack?" I demanded as a grin crossed over the eccentric woman's face.

"You need ta rest a few more days-," the woman said, trying to usher me back to the bed.

"NO. I have to find Jack." I said persistently and started for the door that I spotted. Jack was all I was thinking about…

"May the winds be wiv' ye child." The woman whispered as I walked out the door of her little shack.

There was a little dinghy nearby and I made my way towards it, climbing into it. Just then, the woman came running out, shoving a compass into my hands.

"Take it wiv' ye… you know yer purpose." She grinned as I nodded my head.

"Thank you for your hospitality." I said and shoved the compass into my pant's pocket before I grabbed the oars, rowing myself away from the shack. I kept rowing although I couldn't see a thing. The lights were disappearing as I sailed further and further away. I cursed at myself for not asking for a lamp.

Now Jack. That was another problem. Where was he? I tried to recall what last happened but I couldn't. My head was pounding heavily and I heard a loud thud. I actually realized the thud was me. My head hit against the bottom of the dinghy and my eyes started to roll over. My eyes then closed without my permission…


Something was nudging the side of my stomach and I groaned with distress. "Not now…" I swatted my arm at the thing and then I heard some scratching noises. "I'll be up in a minute… mum." Mum? My eyes immediately flew open and I jumped out of the boat, making the 'thing' whimper with fear. My eyes searched wildly around me and I calmed down once I realized my dinghy hit some land. Oh no, it was not just an ordinary land, but it was Port Royal.

I listened to some panting and I looked around me to find a mutt at my feet. It was a small white mutt with brown and black spots on its short fur. "Aren't you an adorable thing?" I cooed and extended my hand, petting the dog on its head. "I really got to leave so… bye." I said and walked off towards town, only to find that the mutt was following me. I spun around and looked into the mutt's eyes that were pleading me to take it with me. I let out a huge sigh and beckoned the dog forth with the gesture of my hand. "Alright, you mangy mutt. Come along." I rubbed the dog against its neck and continued to walk with it by my side. I walked down once familiar streets and headed down to the blacksmith shop.

"What shall I call you, hmm?" I asked the dog as we made eye contact. "Boy or girl…" I noticed it was a boy and laughed. "Alright. I'll call you… I'll call you…-,"

I nearly ran into someone and I was about to snap at him or her but it was Elizabeth. "Elizabeth Swann?"

"It's Turner actually… Do I know you?" she squinted her eyes at me as if trying to recognize me from old days. Why should she recognize me? It's been… what? About five years?

"It's me, Celine Dayne." I said and a broad smile spread across her face.

"Celine! I'm so sorry. I mean, it has been around seven years…" she trailed off as her face suddenly paled. "Y-you died. Jack told us the news."

"Well, I'm alive aren't I?" I said, rolling my eyes at her shock. "Seriously. It hasn't been seven years. It's only five."

"No. It is seven." She corrected me and started to drag me along with her, the mutt trailing behind us. "We have a lot to catch up on. William will be so happy to see you."

"Have you heard any news of Jack?" I asked as she looked at me with awe.

"Last I heard was he was docked in Tortuga." She said quietly and I sensed she was hiding something.

"You're hiding something, aren't you?" I asked as her eyes widened with surprise. "Tell me what are you hiding?"

"I don't know how you're going to take this but… Jack has found another woman to replace you…" she said as I suddenly jolted to a stop.

"WHAT?" I screamed and her hand flew over my mouth.

"Sh! People will over hear us. I'll tell you everything when we get to my house." She explained and slowly removed her hand from my mouth.

"But- but how?" I was on the verge of crying but I held the tears in.

" We all thought you were dead and… Jack was so depressed… So then, he finds some girl in Tortuga… and now she's sailing the seas with him." Elizabeth whispered, making a tear trail down my cheek.

I was supposed to be that woman. I was supposed to be sailing the seas with him forever… "You're lying to me." I tore away from Elizabeth and broke off into a sprint, running as fast as I could. I tripped onto the ground because my legs weren't used to running and Elizabeth caught up with me. "No." I bit back a sob.

"Celine." Elizabeth said softly and sat next to me on the ground. "I promise I'll help you get him back."

I threw my arms around Elizabeth, sobbing against her shoulder like a weakling. I felt the mutt place its head on my shoulder and I looked up at both Elizabeth and the mutt. A faint smile traced my lips and Elizabeth smiled. "Really… I'm a mess."

"Come on." She stood and helped me stand. "Is that your pet?"

"I suppose so… I found him… Or more like he found me sleeping in my dinghy." I said as Elizabeth laughed. "He doesn't have a name and he needs a bath."

"We'll get the both of you cleaned up." She pulled me along to a huge house. "This is our house."

"Will and you must be living good." I said and rubbed my eyes a couple of times.

"Yes… And I'm really sorry about the past." She whispered the last part.

"It is all forgiven." I replied as we entered her home. The mutt sat down right in the hallway and I laughed as he started to snooze.

"I'll get you a nice bath set up." Elizabeth said and led me upstairs to a room. "You can stay in this room and there is a bathroom connected. I'll get the maids to fill a bath for you. And I'll clean up your dog."

"Thank you." I thanked her as she wore a genuine smile.

"There's no need. It's the least I could do for such a great friend." She left and went to fetch some maids.

I finally took my time to scan the room to find it a beautiful room. It was the hugest bedroom I had ever seen. It had a balcony also, allowing me to see the view of the town. The maids suddenly bustled in with buckets of steaming water and walked into the bathroom, pouring water into the porcelain tub.

I waited for all of them to leave before I stripped down of my clothing and walked towards the tub. I stepped into the warm water and slid down into a sitting position. It felt so good and relaxing… There was a soap bar placed on a dish and I snatched the bar, rubbing it between my hands, lathering the soap up. I then started to clean myself before I started to doze off in the warm water.


There was a loud pounding in my room and my heart jolted with fear. I couldn't believe I fell asleep... I was still in the tub but now it was filled with cold water that was slightly murky. Something was in my room… I sensed it. I quickly submerged under the water, holding my breath for the longest of times until I couldn't take it any longer. I felt as if my lungs were about to burst. I then popped up, gasping for air as I surfaced. My black hair was sprawled around my face and I could barely see a thing between the strands of hair. I brushed the hair away from my face and made contact with the man that my heart was beating for.

"Jack?" I squeaked with bafflement, my jaw dropping with absolute shock.


A/N: Please leave a review? :) And hopefully this isn't as bad of a cliffhanger as last chapter. ;)
