Salina swam to the surface of the water and looked around for Elizabeth. "Beth? Beth where are you?"
Will looked out over the water, "Do you see her?"
"No!" She replied. Salina took a deep breath and dove under looking for her. Elizabeth was stuck on a patch of seaweed and she was trying to get loose but having no such luck.
Salina swam over to her noticing how faint she looked, there was a splash from above and Will could be seen swimming towards them. He handed Salina a dagger and she began to cut the seaweed. Will placed his lips on Elizabeth's and blew fresh air into her mouth, trying to keep her from drowning.
Salina jerked on the seaweed ripping it apart and finally braking Elizabeth loose. Her hair flying everywhere through the water as she swam frantically to the surface taking in deep breaths, Salina shortly followed the couple.
"Come on mates! The navy's a comin'!" Jack hissed pulling Elizabeth on board.
Will moved out of the way so that Salina could board next, she pulled herself up with the assistance of Jack then turned and helped Will climb up. All three of them stood on the deck soaking the wood. Will looked over at Elizabeth, "Are you all right?"
"Yes fine thank you." He walked over and hugged her tightly.
He turned to Salina with an angered voice. "What the hell did you think you were doing! She could've died!"
"I believe you told me to watch after her and protect her and that is precisely what I did! If ye don't like how I do it, don't ask me again! Now I'm going to get myself some new clothes, if you'll excuse me!" She shouted before shoving past Will and making her way down the steps to her cabin.
"Sali-."
"Don't even try it Will, just let her go. She'll get over it." Jack turned and walked to the helm. "In the mean time you two should go get some new clothes. Elizabeth I'm sure Anna-Maria will let you borrow some of her clothes."

Salina entered her cabin with a water basin and a kettle of hot water. She placed it in the center of her rather small room and poured the water into the basin. She removed her socked clothes and stepped in lightly.
As she lay there socking up the water she began to think aloud. "Why am I here? Why did I come back?" A thought crossed her mind just then. "CAT!" The water splashed from the tub as she yanked herself up and looked around the room.
"I had almost forgotten. How could I forget her?" Salina took a wash rag and scoured her body removing the dried blood and dirt from her skin. When she was finished she stood and walked to a small dresser and opened up the drawer, she had one extra pair of clothes that weren't even hers but Anna-Maria's and her boots were soaked.
"Oh for heavens sake!" She pulled the dry cotton shirt on over her body and then grabbed the worn black pants. The basin was heavy but light enough to where she could tip it out the window and pour the water into the sea.
Salina walked back onto the deck barefooted and marched up to Jack.
"Where is she?"
"Where is who?" He replied.
"Cat! Where is cat?" Salina yelled with a touch of anger in her voice. Her hair was still wet and uncombed but she didn't really care.
"Oh Cat, yes she's in my cabin. Anna-Maria is watching over her."
"Thank you." Salina turned to walk down the steps but was stopped by Will approaching her. "Yes?"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't of acted that way. I had no right in saying those things to do, I mean after all you did save her."
"Your bloody right I did." She smiled, "But I can't talk about this now. I need to find Cat."
"Right, well then I'll hold you up no longer." He stepped out of the way and she walked over to Jack's cabin.
"Will, can ye come here a minute?" Jack called out.
Will approached him. "Yes Jack?"
"If ye don't mind me asking, what is it with you and Salina? How can she forgive ye so easily?"
"oh that's simple Jack, I'm her cousin's husband." He smiled, "And your just Jack, which doesn't say much for you." He laughed and Jack gave an evil glare.
"I see how it is now that you're married you can tease me, eh?"
"Something like that."
"I still say you're a eunuch though." He smiled at the lad.
"I am not!" Will turned and walked off, not really even upset about it anymore.

Salina knocked on the door a couple of times. "Just a minute." A voice sounded from inside.
The door opened and Anna-Maria stepped out. "Anna is Cat in there?"
"Aye, go on in." She nodded and walked in noticing Elizabeth sitting on the bed next to Cat.
"Well hello Beth." Salina broke the silence and Beth looked up at her.
Elizabeth smiled and motioned for her to come over and sit down in a chair next to the bed. "How is she doing?" Salina asked as she sat down.
"Much better, but she has lost a lot of blood so she'll be weak for a couple of days."
"Oh, that's good that's she's getting better." Salina looked at Elizabeth's clothes and laughed to herself about how different she looked in pants versus a dress. "Are they comfortable?"
"Is what comfortable? The pants?" Salina nodded, "Yes they most definitely are."
"That's what I said when I first started to wear them." Her gaze turned back to Cat who was awake now. "Cat?"
Cat turned her head to face the women her hair was oily and unkempt and she looked weak. "Captain."
"Shhh. You must get your rest." Cat nodded and closed her eyes.
"Salina how did you meet Jack?" Elizabeth interrupted.
The question caught Salina off guard, "Meet him," she swallowed thinking of how to answer it. "Well I , and he, well It happened like this you see." Then in one long blur she let everything out. "Father condemned- hanged-I saved-took revenge-father killed- joined crew-fell in love-shed blood-hunted by uncle-killed mother-killed real father-took treasure-left Port Royal behind-stayed with Jack on ship-was betrayed-kicked off ship- never saw Jack again- until two days ago!" She stopped when she was out of breath.
Elizabeth's eyes were wide. "Sorry I asked."
Salina smiled and nodded, "There's a whole story to me and Jack and maybe, one day when I have twenty years of my life left, I'll tell you." She giggled a little before standing and walking to the door.
"But you did love him?" Salina turned and faced Elizabeth. "After all he's the one that gave you this, right?" She held up Salina's necklace and starred at the ring on it.
Salina was taken aback by her forwardness and dropped to the floor. "You saw through me the first moment you met me didn't you?"
Elizabeth moved to the floor next to Salina. "I didn't have to, your attitude towards him told me everything. You did love him and you still do, whether you admit it or not."
Salina turned to Elizabeth with a glowing face. "He proposed to me the night before I had to betray him. Barbossa used me to get to him, just like he's doing now. He told me that he would kill Jack if I didn't betray him, and I couldn't do anything about it because the whole crew was on Barbossa'a side."
"The whole crew?"
"Aye the whole crew, including William Turner. He was a good man, truly he was. But when it came down to it at the end he loved me more than Jack, I was his daughter, as he put it. And that is what inevitably got him killed. He didn't like how Jack and I were treated at the end, and he hated to see Jack and I hurt each other back and forth because of the crew. You know he was the on who suggested the marriage between Jack and I?"
"I would've loved to have met him."
"He was a great man, truly he was, and Will is just like him."
The door opened slightly and Anna-Maria poked her head in. "Salina Jack wants you on deck, says it's urgent, says it entails an old friend."
"I'll be right out." Anna-Maria nodded and left the room.
Salina stood and looked about the room. "So many memories in this room, from the first night I was on this ship to the last. Two glorious years of my life gone by in a flash." Salina smiled and left the room, Elizabeth following after her.
