Lizzie stood over Jack's bed, the machinery the monitored Jack's body beeped evenly about in the background. Lizzie read a note on Jack's bed, written by William.

Went to even things out –William Turner

Lizzie sighed and dropped the note; it drifted lightly onto Jack's face.  Norrington stuck his head into the room and smiled at Lizzie.

"Come eat something sweetie, you can't starve yourself,"

Lizzie nodded and followed him out.

Jack's nose twitched. "Rumm, rumm…. Rum…" He lifted a free hand to his nose and brushed away the note before opening one eye and looking around. "Rum? Oh…. What the…. Oh god, I hate being sober…." He closed his eye and sighed. Okay Jack Sparrow, figure out the depth of the situation, there are things connected all over your body. He let his free hand snake down his body to his intimate parts only to come upon cold tubing. Oh my god I'm a mother fucking vegetable!  "GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!" He shouted.

Lizzie came running in with Norrington and a nurse.

"I DON'T WANT TO BE A VEGGIE!!! I CANT EVEN STAND VEGETARIANS!" Jack cried.

Lizzie jumped up and down clapping her hands as Norrington ran down the hall retrieving the doctors.

The nurse starting checking his vital signs and tried to calm him down some; Lizzie came up to the bedside and rested a hand on Jack's shoulder.

 "Calm down Jack, you're not a veggie," she smiled.

"Liz!" Jack looked up at her. "You gotta get me outta here, I can't stand to be inside stone walls!"

"You gypsy," Lizzie smiled. "Just calm down, let the doctors examine you, then we can discuss getting you out of here."

"DON'T PUT THAT IN ME!" Jack shouted at the nurse with a syringe of morphine.

"No more drugs please," Lizzie said.

"But it'll dull the pain-"

"I wanna know I'm alive!" Jack said. "Get this things off me!"

The nurse sighed and worked to get the equipment off of his wriggling body. Norrington returned with the doctor and pulled Lizzie out of the room. They sat down the hall and listened to things flying around in the room just up the hall.

"NO!" Jack screamed. "I'm outta here!" He threw a bedpan out of the room and walked out of the room, his clothes clutched in his hand. He strode over to Lizzie and threw the note at her. "Did you read that?!"

Lizzie nodded.

"Come on, he can't face those bloody pirates alone."

Will ran down the street, the two pirates were hot on his heels, just barely out of arms reach. He turned sharply into an alleyway he knew would lead him out to the forest. He jumped over the roots an under the branches, letting his feet carry his body out to place he had planned secretly.

He ran into an open field, a cliff behind him leading to river with scattered deep areas. He turned around and skidded to a stop abruptly, facing the other two head on. They ran toward him fast, no sign of stopping. Will bent his knees, raised his arms, ready to fight the pirates, finally, to the death.

Bruno came at him in the lead, Will sprung up, catching him the jaw with a round kick, he landed on the balls of his feet and sprung into another kick, landing it on the right side of John's neck. Bruno was up again, pounding a punch in his stomach, Will fell back into a tree but rolled out of the way of John's punch.

Bruno grabbed Will's ankle and pulled him over to the edge of the cliff, John joined him in an attempt to get Will of the edge, but Will grabbed a root and yanked his ankle out of the grip landing a shocking kick to John's groin.

***      ***            ***            ***

Jack and Norrington ran down the street, a cloaked figure pointed down the alleyway Will and the other's took, without a second thought Jack followed the path and ran into Bruno's back. Bruno rounded about and grabbed Jack by the collar. His eyes flared as he grabbed Jack and threw him toward the cliffs edge. Jack reached for some roots but the momentum was too great and he skidded over the edge.

Will ran with his might and hit the ground on his knees, skidding to the edge of the cliff, he thrusted his hand down, barely catching Jack's wrist.

Bruno tackled Norrington as a cloaked figure took on John…

"Don't let me die here,"

"Not on my life," Will said and began to pull Jack back up. "Grab that root,"

Jack reached and grabbed a root; just then Bruno took Norrington down.

"WILLIAM!" Norrington shouted.

Will turned, only to have Bruno collide with his midsection and both bodies flew over the edge.

Everything fell into slow motion, Will looked up to see the river closing in- he looked down to see Jack looking over the cliff to him.

Bruno hit the bank, painting the sand red, Will hit the water.
