DISCLAIMER: THE CHARACTERS OF THIS STORY DO NOT BELONG TO ME. SAM AND RAVEN DO. NO MONEY IS BEING MADE OFF THIS STORY.

Author's note: I want to thank everyone for the nice reviews. This is my first pirates of the Caribbean fic and I'm glad you like it. Well here goes on chapter 9.

The next thing that Jack heard was Elizabeth's piercing scream as she ran to the edge of the ship. "WILL!" But she couldn't see Will. No one could. Jack turned around to see his daughter at the edge of the stairs. Her movements had caused her cuts to bleed through her shirt. "Father! What did you do?" she screamed. She grabbed her father by his shirt. "What the bloody hell did you do?" she shouted. The look in her eye was crazed. "Luv you need to sit down." Sam threw her father a few feet backward and collapsed on the deck.

After Sam was taken back to her bed the crew members including Elizabeth stared at Jack. "Listen mates. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen. I was angry. I'm sorry. But you know Will. He might be alright." Elizabeth through her tear stained eyes knocked the lights out of Jack.

The black pearl pulled into port that night at a small town. It was a town they had not yet visited. They were all trying to keep faith for Will and yet trying to get so drunk they'd forget about it. Elizabeth did not go with them. She stayed with Sam on the ship.

The taverns in this town were as vile as any other. The crew members of the black pearl wouldn't have it any other way. They were all still trying to register what had happened today. Some still didn't believe it was true. But they had to stay true to the pirates code. Whatever man is left behind stays behind. Even if it was Will.

Annamaria walked back from the bar and sat down across from Gibbs. "What has taken over Jack Gibbs? I mean I know he's always been a little off but why would he do something like that? And to Will?" Gibbs just shook his head and took another swig of his rum. "Where is the old Captain anyway?" he muttered. "Probably dodging the wrath of Elizabeth and the rest of us. I just don't know Gibbs. I have a bad feeling about this."

The back streets of this town were more vile then the taverns themselves. Jack wondered them aimlessly. His mind was clouded and all he could focus on was the rum in his hand. He tried to imagine that what had happened today didn't really happen. I mean Captain Jack Sparrow was a fierce pirate but he didn't kill his friends. Did he? "Ah bloody hell." he shouted drunkenly as he smashed the bottle. A dark shadow past Jack that he just didn't see.

"Where are you going tonight luv?" Jack turned to see what looked like a woman with her face hidden. "Not tonight mate. I'm just not in the mood." The woman seemed to chuckle. "Captain Jack Sparrow not in the mood. Okay I guess I'll just have to settle for something else." Jack never did see the fist coming at him.

Elizabeth wonder the decks of the black pearl aimlessly. Salty tears still spilled down her face. The crimson moonlight made them shimmer. She couldn't take it in. Will just could not be gone. Not after all that they had gone through together. She felt guilty. After what she had put him through and now he was gone. But what she didn't understand was why Jack had done this. But she knew it had something to do with Sam.

Elizabeth made her way towards Sam's room when a pair of rough hands closed over her mouth and the other one turned her around. Her eyes became so wide. "Shhh…." whispered the voice. "Will? But how?"
