(A/N) Hey ALL! Thank you for all the reviews! This chapter will explain some things...Bill's escape form the cannon...don't read too much into it, I made the explanation simple. On a different note I would just like to say to all undecided voters that we have less than a month to make a decision on who will be the next President of the United States, if anyone is not sure, I recommmend you see Farenheit 9/11, it is a powerful documentary...However I am a Kerry Campaign Volunteer, and a long time John Kerry supporter, so perhaps there is a little bit of bias there...PLEASE whatever you do PLEASE VOTE NOVEMBER 2ND, LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD, in 2000 Election only 500 or so votes decided the presidency!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!!

"Jack, what happened?" Bill asked. Jack then told Bill the events of the past few weeks.

"That bastard…" Bill then turned to a worn out Will and Elizabeth. "Will I want you to understand something, I don't want you to think I am some sort of monster for leaving you. I couldn't go looking for you because I thought this might happen. I couldn't have my only son be terrorized so young. I thought that if when you were older that you could handle yourself. I'm sorry Will, it had to be this way."

"I guess I understand, it probably was for the best, because if you had taken me with you I would never have met Elizabeth." Will then glanced at Elizabeth and kissed her.

"My boy has done pretty well for himself, aye Jack!"

"Aye he certainly has."

"One thing that isn't clear to me is…How did you escape from the bottom of the ocean floor?" Elizabeth asked.

"That was quite easy my dear, I simply took off my boots, they only tied me by my bootstraps." Bootstrap exclaimed.

"Oh." Elizabeth said.

Bill then turned to Jack. "Now Jack, I can get us some recruits to get the Pearl back, but, looks like we need to make a run for it."

"Alright…how many can you get?" Jack asked.

"Oh I say 'bout twenty or twenty-five."

"Alright we get the Pearl, and make a run for it." Jack said.

"To where Jack?" Elizabeth asked.

"I don't know, as far away from Barbossa as possible. That way we have enough time to regroup and plan a proper attack."

"Alright at first light I'll round up the troops, then we take over the Pearl later tomorrow night." Bill then glanced at Will and Elizabeth, "Will I have a spare bedroom in the back, take Elizabeth with you, the both of you will need to rest. There should be a place where you can get washed up, and some spare clothes in one of the dresser's, oh also, there is food in the cabinets, just help yourselves."

"Thank you." Will said as he helped Elizabeth up.

Once the two were out of sight Bill was the first to speak, "She's had it rough." Bill said.

"Aye she has, I don't think many could handle what she has been through. That's why I like the girl, she's tough." Jack said.

"How is Will holding up?"

"Will is angry, the boy wants revenge. Rightfully so, his wife has been beaten, raped, and she lost their baby. They both feel guilty, they both feel it is their fault that their child died, but neither one could help what happened."

"Barbossa is going to die for this." Bill said angrily.

"Aye, his days are numbered." Jack replied.

Once Will and Elizabeth entered the room, Elizabeth sat down on the bed, she was tired, wet, and in pain. "Will you go ahead get washed up and change."

"Are you sure?" Will asked.

"Yes, go ahead, I'll be fine." Will then walked into the bathroom, and started to wash up, with a soap and a cloth. He then looked in the dresser and found a pair of black pants and a white shirt. He then walked out of the bathroom to find Elizabeth sleeping on the bed. Will then slowly walked over to her and picked her up and brought her to the bathroom and set her down on a chair that was in the corner, Elizabeth then woke up.

"Will you don't have to do this." Elizabeth eyes then started to fill with tears.

"No Elizabeth I have to." Will then helped Elizabeth out of her clothes and started washing her soft skin with soap and water from a nearby basin. Once he was done he wrapped her in a towel and helped her to the dresser. Elizabeth was surprised that there were dresses actually there and picked out a simple light blue dress. Will then carefully lifted the dress over Elizabeth's head and slid it down her body. Will and Elizabeth then walked over to the bed and lied down.

"Elizabeth…I love you." Will said as he took Elizabeth in his arms. Elizabeth then turned her head to look at him, "I love you too Will, God…I love you so much." She then leaned forward and kissed him softly on the lips. Then both fell asleep in each other's arms.

ON THE JUGEMENT##################################################

"WHERE THE BLAZES ARE THEY?!" Barbossa yelled. "I don't know boss, they must have gotten out when we were…" Joe said.

"I DON'T WANT TO HERE YOUR BLOODY EXCUSE'S!" Barbossa then pulled out his pistol and shot Joe dead. "RODGER'S YOU'RE THE NEW FIRST MATE, NOW I WANT YOU TO FIND THEM, AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU DO!" Rodger the newly appointed first mate then rushed to fulfill his captain's wishes.
