Legolas and Sonja were being led towards the gallows as Nanaylia watched them from afar. She was soon growling as she did so.

'How dare they do that to my brother! And to Sonja as well! He will pay for threatening my family. Especially if it is his life,' she thought to herself.

She quickly looked around the area to see if anyone was around and seeing that there was no one, she decided to hurry towards the docks.

'I think I had better tell the others first. I just hope I get there in time,' she thought to herself as she hurried her way down.

###

Thranduil was nervously pacing back and forth as Will, Gibbs, Anamaria and Jack watched him.

"Calm down, will you?" Anamaria asked him, getting tired of seeing him walk back and forth.

"I cannot calm down. Nanaylia has not returned. I fear for her safety now more than ever," he replied as he placed a hand over his mouth.

He looked at the sun ever peeking out from over the horizon and soon saw a figure in the distance.

"Finally," he sighed, as he headed towards her landing position. "What news of Legolas?"

"He is going to be hanged," she quickly told them. "They are both going to be hanged! We must go after them!"

She tried to head in their direction but Thranduil stopped her by grabbing her elbow.

"Yes, we do but we also must be cautious," he told her.

"Father, this man has been after us since we first landed here in this strange place called the Caribbean. It began with you here at Port Royal and it is going to end here at Port Royal with Legolas' death. Are you willing to lose a child when you believed you lost the other for centuries?" she asked him quietly.

Thranduil looked at her with a sad look on his face and soon shook his head.

"You are right. We have to go after Legolas now. Go ahead. We will follow as quickly as we can," he replied.

They watched her leave and Will was slightly surprised.

"You're just going to let her go after him like that?" he had to ask.

"She is right. I am not willing to risk one of my children's lives. My family have suffered enough with the past belief that Nanaylia herself had perished," Thranduil sadly explained.

###

Elizabeth had been awoken by her father and was in the process of getting dressed.

"Elizabeth?" Governer Swann called into the room.

"Yes Father?" Elizabeth wondered.

"I wanted to tell you what I had planned today," he replied.

"What is it?" she said, not really wanting to go, whatever it was.

"We are going to a hanging today. Commodore Norrington personally asked if we could join him.

Elizabeth was very surprised by this as she stared that closed door. She immediately thought about Sonja and Jack. They had nearly separated a few times before, with Jack's near hanging and soon after with his near death.

"You can't be serious," she told him.

"I am serious Elizabeth. Why do you say that?" he wondered.

"Nothing," she replied before heading out the door and joining her father.

###

Legolas dreaded every step he was taking as he and Sonja were being led. He looked over at Sonja and wondered how she could remain so calm with what was happening.

She soon glanced over at him and noticed his slightly confused look.

"I'm used to this sort of things happening. Even though this is me that's going to the gallows, I just have grown used to not fearing it or what it does. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to die. No one wants to die but I've just seen so much death that I have have become used to seeing it," she explained to him as she again faced ahead of her.

Legolas sighed, taking in what he was recently told.

###

Galadriel soon looked around the room. The twins and Arwen were fast asleep nearby while Haldir and Celeborn were quietly talking by the fireplace. Galadriel soon stared at the door as Chimone walked inside.

"Is there anything I can get for you?" she asked them.

"No thanks Chimone," Celeborn told her.

Chimone nodded her head and began to walk out the door.

"Wait a moment Chimone," called Galadriel.

The elf stopped and turned to face the Lothlorien elf.

"Yes, m'lady?" she asked.

Galadriel stood up and walked over to her, placing her hand son the shoulders of the Mirkwood elf.

"Chimone, I have seen over the years that you are a very patient elf. First, with aiding Thranduil bring up two very active young elflings. There was the incident with Manlin and the wolves which led to believing Nanaylia was dead and her return just recently. Now what has happened to the three royal elves and seeing to our needs just to name a few things," Galadriel mused.

She could tell that Chimone was becoming a bit nervous as Haldir and Celeborn walked over to the two.

"Yes, Legolas and Nanaylia were quite energetic when they were younger. Even today, you still have to be careful, especially when they meet up with the twins. Then things get out of hand. The 'wars' they have do tend to get way out of hand and someone usually gets hurt. I have taken care of a few injuries that have occured," Chimone replied.

"Yes, I remember vividly some of them. But now, I am afraid for Legolas' life," Galadriel said as she looked at Haldir and her husband.

"What?" Haldir cried out.

"I see him going to his death and I fear Nanaylia will not make it to his rescue in time," Galadriel replied to the three elves.

Chimone gasped as she placed her hands over her mouth. Tears formed in her eyes.

"Lord Thranduil and I believed Nanaylia was dead for centuries but Legolas cannot die. She will be lost without him, just like he was lost without her. I could see it in his eyes all the time," she quietly said.

The three Lothlorien elves looked at her and sighed in unison. They all agreed with her for they saw it as well.

###

Jack headed for the docks at Port Royal. He could see people on land that appeared to be very frightened by the sight they were seeing.

'I can see why they'd be scared. This is the 'Black Pearl' after all,' Jack thought to himself as he managed to get as close as he could to shore.

He soon headed towards one of the life rafts and looked at Thranduil and Will.

"Well, come on," he told them as he looked over at Gibbs and Anamaria. "Keep things steady here! I will be back!"

The two nodded as Jack, Thranduil and Will headed off towards shore.

###

Elizabeth was watching the scene with a bad feeling down in her gut.

"This is more wrong than when Jack Sparrow was being hanged. You don't realize what you're doing Commodore!" she protested.

"She is a pirate and he cannot live. He probably is involved with the devil, with his looks," Norrington replied as he glanced over at her.

Elizabeth felt helpless yet again as she watched Sonja and Legolas being led to the dreaded piece of rope. A crowd had gathered and all were amazed by the elf's appearance.

The man started to talk as both Sonja and Legolas watched him. He gulped as he glanced at her. His stare soon came to Elizabeth and he put a sad look on his face.

Soon, he heard the man stop talking and he felt someone lead him over to somewhere. The noose was placed around his neck and he was glad that he could see his sister again.

All of a sudden, just as the man was about to do the deed, a screeching was heard in the skies. Everyone looked up to see a figure in sky. It flew down to the gallows just as Legolas was dropped.

"No, I'm too late!" she cried as she watched her brother hang by the throat.

She landed next to Sonja and pushed the men out of the way before reaching for her brother.

"Get that creature!" ordered Norrington as he hurried towards the group.

The soldiers immediately headed for the creature just as Will, Jack and Thranduil ran into the area. They saw the sight and Thranduil could do nothing but gasp.

"Legolas!" he cried as he tried to hurry towards his son.

He was soon stopped by the soldiers as the crowd began to scream and try and get away but Will and Jack soon came to his rescue. They held out their swords towards the bigger group of men.

"Go for Legolas. He needs you," Jack told the elf.

Thranuil nodded as he headed for Legolas, who was just gasping for air. He lifted up his bow and aimed an arrow at the rope. It cut the rope and Legolas dropped like a heap in the waiting arms of his father. Sonja and Nanaylia soon headed over to him.

"Father," was all she could say.

Thranduil's hand was shaking as it was checking for a heartbeat and breathing. He soon looked at her and shook his head.

"I believe we were too late," he barely said to her. "I will try and do something but I cannot promise anything."

Nanaylia growled as she stared at Norrington. She watched as Will and Jack were fighting against the large group of soldiers and they weren't able to hold off the grop for too much longer.

"He will pay for this," she growled as she ran for him.

Norrington was busy trying to keep the crowd under control and deal with Jack and Will. Elizabeth was trying to stay out of the way. Will and Jack soon found themselves in a similar position to the last time there was a hanging. Namely Jack's. Sonja hurried towards them but was soon stopped. She glanced back at Thranduil and Legolas and hurried back to them. Thranduil looked at her with sad eyes.

"Let me try something, please," she asked of him.

Thranduil nodded and soon listened to what she had to say.

###

"Captain Jack Sparrow and William Turner, we are here again in a simliar position as before. Now this time, he won't get away," Norrington replied.

Will glanced behind the commodore and saw a figure running towards them.

"I really don't see that happening Commodore. I think it's you that won't be getting away," Will replied.

The commodore was confused by the statement until he found him face to face with the ground.

"You will pay for this. No one, and I mean no one, attacks my brother and gets away with it," came a growl as he found himself being lifted back up.

He stared with wide eyes at the gargoyle, who soon had him dangling over the edge of the building, the waves crashing at the cliffs below. He was gasping for air, unable to push back the hand that held his throat.

"You killed my brother. Now you will die. I have become accustomed to two different ways of justice and I will gladly listen to the second way that I have been taught," she quietly said to him.

A few soldiers tried to help the commodore but Nanaylia growled at them, her eyes telling them to get back. No one around them could do anything as they continued to watch her. Jack soon hurried up to her and placed a hand on the arm that held Norrington.

"As much as I'd like to see you drop him, I really have to say that doing this won't fix what happened to your brother," Jack told her.

"No, it will not but it will make me a whole lot better if I do," she replied as she began to loosen her grip.
