(A/N) Hello everyone! Thought I'd give you one more chapter...I also just want to comment on a review that I got. OCCSSUCK: My intention was not to 'slam' anyone, and personally, I don't like words put in my mouth. All I said was that the pairing I did not care for, and I said that I would try and write them well and incorperate them in my story a bit more since most of my readers enjoyed them, I am trying to please the reader. This series is mainly Will and Elizabeth, and I wrote it to be that way, but when most of the reviews I got from the last fic, and this one were, 'Write more Jack and Ana', I decided I would add more scences with them, because originally this story was not going to have many scenes with them, this entire story is finished and ready to be posted, all I was trying to say was that I was going to give what the readers wanted, Jack and Ana, that's all. I know that a lot of people like the J/A pairing, the shock came when they liked it in this fic, because it was meant to be mainly W/E fic, and when they started coming in I said to myself, 'Well, I'll give my readers what they want, they have been good to me, so I'll give them something in return'. The remark about trying to 'slam' people was unneccessary, NEVER have I said anything in any of my author's notes to insult people or put down any of their likes or dislikes. Although I appreciate your review, (in all honestly I do, first one with contructive critism, and I MEAN critism lol) I think you read it wrong, and I am sorry if I came off that way to you or anyone, but I write with honesty, and that is the way I am. I just needed to explain myself, that's all, no hard feelings.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
Elizabeth swam as hard as she could to the island that she had seen. She did not seen James, and only hoped he went down with the ship. It was the dark of night when she got onto the island, she was wet, cold, and tired. She sat down on the sand and looked onto the sea, it was black, black rolls in the sea barreling towards her. So incredibly tired she laid back and let the tiredness take her.
"Elizabeth!" James was looking for her on the island, he had looked and looked and had not found her. The storm had quieted and now the dawn was breaking through the clouds, he walked a bit farther down the sands and saw her lying on the beach. James then sprinted after her. She was still breathing but as he glanced over her, he saw a large cut on her leg. James quietly picked her up and took her within the trees, and started a fire to warm them.
"Daddy!" Jack called to his father as he ran to him. Will quickly scooped him up and spun him in the air.
"Will, how are you son?" Bill asked as he approached the two.
"As good as I can be. I just have this nagging apprehension that something is wrong."
"Ah that's just nerves lad. Elizabeth is a strong woman, she'll be fine."
"I just feel, as when I left her, I left her saddened. I would not stay with her…"
"You chose piracy over your wife and child, I am quite surprised she did not want to leave then." Jonathan added.
"Listen to me, you have no idea what happened!"
"She wrote to me, I believe the day you left. She said she felt as though you were going to leave her no matter what, that she was going to be left with two children to raise by herself, she did not even want this child she is now baring, she did not want two children to grow up without their father. That is why I went there to offer her and her son to come with me to Port Royal, she was scared, she told me that she fainted and that the doctor told her that she needed to rest, she was afraid. I wrote to her to tell her the news about James, soon as I wrote her, that is when I set off to go get her and bring her to Port Royal. I can only imagine what she was thinking as she was being hauled off by that madman."
"I'll tell you, you blubbering idiot! I know her just as good as you do, and I believe that she was thinking of the safety of her children, and her husband." Jack jumped in.
"I truly doubt that Sparrow."
"It is Captain on me ship, and if you don't stop your wailing, because it is no good to anyone, I will through your bloody stupid self over the railing!" Jonathan then quietly walked away.
"Thank you Jack…" Will said.
"Will, if anything he is saying is true then you have some work to do to fix your ways with her." Anamaria said as she approached.
"She is right mate, I hope she still feels she has something to fight for." Jack said.
"Jack, what do you mean?"
"Well, her son is safe, and she may feel there is nothing else to go on for, especially if she thinks you are going to leave her. She might not fight, against Norrington, or anything else. I just hope she will fight." Will walked away and into his cabin with Jack, he set him down on the floor and he played with toys. Will sat in a chair and put his head in his hands.
'I killed her, I killed her.' Not even knowing her fate, Will felt incredibly guilty, 'If I had only stayed with her, none of this would be happening…' Will eyes filled with tears, something he hasn't done in quite a time, since his mother died. The guilt was too much to bare, he had felt his own two hands had taken the life out of her, perhaps it was not her breath, but now that he thought about it, during the past few months she had seemed, saddened, different, not the same free spirit she once was. 'Did I take that away from her?'
As Will looked down at Jack who was now nestled at his feet, he realized that Jonathan was in a twisted way right, she had left Jack, and allowed Norrington to take her for a reason. The only happiness she truly felt was for her son, she of course loved Will, but she was happy with her child, she did not want to fight. This terrified Will beyond words, he knew she was not going to fight. Will got up and placed his son in bed and walked on the deck, 'Elizabeth, I will find you, I will save you.' He meant this in more ways than one.
