A/N I do not own anything

Yes, yes, Emily… here you are… not sleeping till I finish, eh?  Poor you… It might be awhile, I have PLANS for this story… You just settle back and relax, dream about Dirk, and in the meantime I'll be writing furiously… I did promise five new chapters this weekend, didn't I? 

AbbieNormal182… You were close enough on your guess about Elizabeth Shirland…  yeah, she was a pirate, but I meant be a little more specific… oh well, here, take a bottle of rum anyways. 

***~***

            Elizabeth stepped forward. 

            "I want my treasure back."  She said.  "I've been waiting… so long, for someone to bring it back, since I couldn't go in after it myself."  She ran her thumb along Jack's jawbone and then leaned forward to whisper in his ear. 

            "I am Cutlass Liz, legendary female pirate, beautiful and sharp, and richer than you could ever imagine.  I paid British soldiers to spread the rumor that I was killed, but only so that I could hide from the world until someone found my treasure.  I locked it away, and now I'll never be able to get to it again." She stood back up and spun around the room. 

            "This is my room.  Isn't it beautiful?  It's yours now.  I want you, Captain Jack Sparrow.  I've heard all about you, and just think… we could be famous together, we could go far.  And you'll have a part in my treasure, too… just think.  You can have me, and my money.  And all I ask is that you join me, and I get to be yours.  What do you think, captain?" 

            Jack didn't say anything.  The next thing he said could very well determine whether he lives or dies. 

            He decided to listen to his little voice of reason. 

            He waited for the little voice of reason to start talking.  But it didn't.  It was silent.  This meant that he was on his own.  Oh, no. 

            What would Anne do? 

            Well… why not?  Why shouldn't he join her, because it could be a wonderful opportunity?  But what about Anne?   What would happen to Anne if he accepted?   He tried to think. 

            And then he decided.  Whether it was a good decision or not, he couldn't tell. 

            "Elizabeth," He said.  "I would be pleased to accept this offer.  But first I would like to attend to a few matters involving my crew… the women that you found need to be let go, and there is another woman who I wish to speak to shortly before sending them away with my ship.  Can I be allowed to leave, temporarily?" 

            Elizabeth smiled.  "Of course you can go temporarily.  But…"  She twirled her hair around a finger.  "Leaving so soon?" 

A/N hmmm… temporary writers block… help needed.  SERIOUS HELP NEEDED!!!  I have small ideas about what will happen… Jack leaves the Pearl reluctantly to Anne so she can be captain, and then leaves with Liz. But I would rather just kill Liz and be done with it.  So… help needed.  What should I do?
