The next day there was the biggest storm in over a decade, and it hit the shop front on. Will, Elizabeth and Jack watched the water seep in and wondered how long it would take before they all drowned. Will still looked sick, but was holding Elizabeth's hand and responding to the best of his abilities. This gave Elizabeth some hope as the all sat there, and Jack just wasn't interested in anything but watching the water flow down the walls of the ship. Every so often they would be taunted with food as it was thrown down the stairs. Perfectly good food, thrown in the middle of the floor, far enough away from each of their cells that none of them could reach it. Will hadn't eaten for days and he was so weak. He couldn't stand up on his own, and being thrown down the stairs had hurt him badly. Elizabeth had cared for him as much as she could, and Jack, well, Jack was thinking.

*Why was Barbossa there at the exact time Monday told us to escape? Is she on our side or theirs? Can we trust her? *

Elizabeth had been here for nearly a week now, and she didn't know how much longer she could last. Oh god, how selfish she was. How long she could last? What about Will? The hull had about an inch of water on the floor now, and she was freezing. She got her own blanket out of the hole in the hull of the ship and put it over Will in the hope he would get warmer and survive. But she couldn't tell what the future hold. There was only one of them on this ship who could tell what the future hold for them all, and he was up on deck.

Barbossa had had enough. He decided it was time for all of this to end. Even though he was having the time of his life seeing the infamous Jack Sparrow so submissive and depressed, and the whelp that had made his life difficult for so long suffer. But he knew this was the end. He was going to finish it tonight, and make them all watch. He would kill the whelp.

Wow! Thankyou so much to everyone has reviewed. Anyone who would like to be my beta please post a review stating that you're interested in beta-ing for me, coz at the moment its just lil' old me. I'm sorry I haven't updated for such a long time, but I just couldn't think of what to write, and then when I actually came up with this chapter I realised that I already had written a chapter ages ago so this is why I've put Chapter 9 & 10 up pretty close together. I'm so sorry if there are continuity problems (but when I've got time I'll fix all the chapters). There is only one or two chapters left, so beta people, hurry! I hope everyone has enjoyed the story so far, and I think when I get to my final chapter I'll write each of you a lil' message and put them all on to the end of the chapter to thankyou separately! Updates after this chapter may be few and far between, because I have exams coming up for college and I'm gonna get stressed! Thankyou all again for reviewing and being so nice. x x
