He was frozen to the spot on the wooden dock as if he was the one who'd turn into the statue. Will didn't really notice that his drenched clothes clung to him or that he was beginning to shiver due to the draughtiness that has drape itself around him. He merely peered out into the horizon watching the pirate ship sail away with his fiancée.

Jack began to dry himself off by ringing the excess water out of his shirt and hair, it was probably the only time that his hair even came into contact to water as he never took much care of it.

"So now what?" asked Lilly trying to break the uncomfortable silence that had rapidly formed. "You're just gonna stand there?"

Will disturbed from his silent state turned to the two pirates before giving a look laced with hatred at Jack.

"This is your fault." He said coldly. He paced towards the causer of this dilemma. "You have to help fix it." Jack nodded feeling a sea of guilt beginning to submerge him. "Well then what are waiting for? Lets get aboard the Pearl and chase after them!" Will shouted frantically.

"I'm not leaving without Cotton and Gibbs, savvy?"

"Well hurry, go find them there in 'The Gull'" He managed to say between gritted teeth.

"Right!" answered Jack quickly sensing his friend wasn't in the best of moods.

"Erm should ya maybe inform the father of your fiancée?" questioned Lilly. "If we leave we may not be back before he realises she's gone and with him being a Governor 'n all I'm sure he'd be sending out navy ships and allsorts looking for her, ya know?"

"Oh yer sure! Go and tell him that you turned his daughter into a golden figurine and then explain to him how yer left her and then tell him about how she was stolen by pirates! I'm sure he won't throw yer in jail and hang me!!" exclaimed Jack throwing his hands in the air and whirling them round as if swatting flies.

"She has a point Jack, Governor Swann would be in a terrible state if I didn't tell him what's happened to Elizabeth."

"Fine. It's your funeral!" murmured Jack, "Well ye can go an' tell him that while I find me crew members!" Jack was just about to stroll off when three figures approached as they drew closer Will could define the features of Governor Swann and two red coats.

"Here they are sir!"

"Guess I'll be on me way." Said Jack trying to slip past them but only to be grabbed by the two soldiers.

"Will?" questioned the grey haired man "Where is Elizabeth."

"There have been reports of disturbances and the witnesses described the three culprits that match you're descriptions." Informed one of the soldiers.

"Also theft is another crime that was witnessed apparently you took some sort of statue and was on the run from it's owner. If you give us it back we might just go easy on you."

"We can't" said Lilly "The statue was Will's he was the victim not the thief!"

"And where is it now?"

"Out there." Will informed glumly gesturing towards the ocean.

"Fine. This is all very well that he didn't steal this statue but Will where is my daughter?"

Will enlighten the Governor of what had happened to Elizabeth all the time trying to compose himself however the constant quivers running over him wasn't aiding him in anyway.

"What?!" chocked the old man in a disbelief tainted whisper. His attention turned onto Jack. The pirate was still held by the two red coats who tightened their grip when they heard the tale. "You! Why is it that whenever you're around disaster follows!"

"That's cause I'm Captain Jack---"

"Hang him!"

"No! Governor Swann I need Jack to get Elizabeth back. We need his ship." The old Governor turned to Jack who smiled smugly knowing that he was safe. After a long pause where the only sound was the waves crashing and softly hissing Governor Swann finally spoke.

"Very well but I'll make this clear Will, you show up with out my daughter not back to her normal form and I shall see that you are locked away for the rest of your life and that Sparrow is hung and this time he won't be excused!"

"Yes sir." Nodded Will.

"Told yer!" mumbled Jack rolling his dark eyes.

The soldiers realised Jack and marched off after a distressed Swann.

"Al'ight here's what we're gonna do. Will ye row out to the Pearl and tell me crew what's happened and get Anna Marie to move the ship so its down near the docks, savvy?"

Will nodded "While I go an' find Cotton and Gibbs and get some supplies." And with that the Pirate dashed off in search of his fellow crewmembers.

Will overturned a small wooden rowing boat and begun pushing it into the water.

"You'll get there quicker if two people row!" shouted Lilly from the docks. It was a tedious task rowing out to the The Black Pearl, which sat in the outskirts of the harbour as if ready to make a swift escape at anytime possible. He was glad Lilly had offered otherwise it would have taken him twice as long.

"So how do you know that miscreant?" Lilly asked while rowing.

"Long story." Answered Will with a weak smile. "You?"

"Long story" She answered laughing slightly.

Soon everything was in order form leaving Port Royal at full speed as Anna Marie sailed the ship to the docks where Jack, Cotton and Gibbs patiently waited. The pirates went about loading the supplies of meat, fruit and vegetables and of course rum.

"Jack!"

"Ah Lilly about the whole you getting even with me thing I guess we'll have to do that some other time, in some other town, savvy? Oh well hope yer enjoy your stay in Port Royal." He turned quickly on his heel and was just about to ascend the ramp up to his ship when he felt something clasp hold of his wrist, however this time it wasn't the warm skin of Lilly's hand. It was cold and heavy. He peered over his shoulder to see that it was an iron handcuff, which had a thick metal chain that was attached to another handcuff that was clasped around the girls wrist.

"Sorry Sparrow can't do that. I spent the best part of 3 years lookin' for you I'm not going to let you slip away again. As soon as this whole ordeal is over you can be punished for losing all my stuff!" she said. Then doing her best imitation of Jack added, "Savvy?"
