Elizabeth woke up to the warmth of a fire. When she opened her eyes she saw she was all alone. She sat up and looked at her leg, it was bandaged up with a piece of cloth from her dress, the dress itself was pretty much in shreds. As she looked around she saw the tall bluffs above her, it was majestic. It was daylight, mid-afternoon by her guess, she got up and walked towards the beach, away from the trees. The ocean was now calm, not the restless soul it was last night, she walked around for a bit before returning to the campfire, who had helped her? She did not see James, was it someone who lives here?
Someone who had been so kind to her, unbelievable it was. She sat back down again and looked into the fire and thought about Will, she missed him, she wanted to tell him all of the things she felt, she never did. She feared for her child, he was going to grow up without a mother. She feared for the unborn child within her, 'how on earth am I going to keep this child safe?' Elizabeth thought to herself. She wondered if Jonathan found Will, if Jack did not want the Pearl to be found he would make sure of it. However, she knew that Jonathan was extremely intelligent, he would find the Pearl.
Not until a rumble in her stomach did she notice it, she was five months into her pregnancy, she needed to eat, compared to when she was carrying Jack, she was underweight, her stomach barely showed. She got up and looked around the trees and bushes and found a bush that was full of berries, she did not know if they were poisonous, but at this point she did not care, as she reached for them a voice arose.
"I wouldn't do that, Elizabeth." Startled she jumped and screamed. "I did not mean to startle you…" James said coming from behind the trees. "They are poisonous, sit down and try these." He opened his palm and showed her kiwi's, her favorite fruit.
"Thank you." Elizabeth ate them without fuss. "Where are we?" Elizabeth asked him.
"I don't know, I have not the slightest clue." James said as he sat down. "Just hope a passing ship comes by."
She figured she would take a stab at this, even if he got angry. "Will, he is coming for me…that man back at the house, is my cousin, Governor of Port Royal. He will find Will and come for me." She noticed his anger, she would not speak of it again.
"I doubt they will find us, we were blown off course during the storm. So you had better play nice and warm up to me a bit, Elizabeth."
"If I don't?" Elizabeth dared.
"Well, we are alone here, no one will here you scream." James then slapped her across the face, "I do not want your spite either."
Elizabeth instinctively reached for her burning cheek, for a moment there she thought, that the James she once knew had come back, she had thought wrong however, she was going to have to play his game. She wanted to cry, she couldn't, her body would not let her. Slowly she fell asleep, watching him, watching him think up his next course of action.
Jack stood at the helm of the ship, looking for any sign of the Chariot, he found none, an entire month had passed, and no sign of them. If he was right, they were following the same course that Norrington would have taken, if he was wrong, then they were going in an entirely different direction. The only thing he hoped he was wrong about was Elizabeth, he hoped she did fight, that she did have that spirit, the thing he loved about her, she was the only woman besides Anamaria that wouldn't put up with his antic's. Elizabeth was someone whom he had trusted, perhaps more than Will, maybe even Bill. Elizabeth was the type that if you swore her to secrecy, she would keep it for the rest of her life, to the grave, that is why they got along so well, they were both very much alike. Anamaria was a different relationship all together, they of course loved eachother, but they were friends first, so they felt as though they knew eachother forever. Jack loved to agrivate her, he loved the crinklethat formed in her forehead when she yelled at him, he also just loved just as she is.
Anamaria noticed the change in Jack's demeanor, he was more solemn, quiet, he was worried about Elizabeth, something that Anamaria had seen three years ago when he stayed by her bedside, after she was attached by Barbossa. This is what Anamaria loved about him, his ruthlessness, but his soft side, which he only showed her and Elizabeth, it was remarkable how he could switch from side to side. The other side of him she saw, when Jack played with Will and Elizabeth's son, he was gentle and child-like, he loved the time he spent with the little boy that was named after him. Anamaria had decided long ago that she was not going to have children and live this lifestyle, it was wrong to do that. About eight years ago an accident prevented this, while in Tortuga she was walking in front of a bar, a bullet rang out and it hit her in the abdomen, she was not the target but the damage was done, she was left barren. The effects of this incident on her, really had not made a difference, she didn't want any children, this insured it, but the option of having them was now gone. Jack never discussed it with her, having children, but Anamaria presummed that is the way he wanted it, there was nothing she could do about it anyway. Anamaria loved Jack and hated Jack, he drove her to near insanity, but always managed to set ways with her, made them right.
Bill was in his cabin, worried sick. The woman that managed to breath life into his son was missing, she was the woman that gave him his grandson. Bill enjoyed Elizabeth's company, he thought she was a strong woman, a woman that would take care of his son, a woman that had given up everything to see his son happy. Bill admired her in a way, she did many things he could not, her pride showed through every step she took, she was not the type to abandon her son. Bill watched as Will became more and more depressed, he felt incredibly guilty, and Jonathan's comments did not help. Bill didn't mind if Jonathan 'accidentally' fell off the ship, but he was Elizabeth's cousin, and she loved him.
Jonathan paced in his room, something he hated doing but could not help. He was angry with Will for letting this all happen. He and Elizabeth grew up together in England, it wasn't until she had left for Port Royal, had they ever been separated. They always wrote to one another, he remembered the letter when she told him that she was in love with Will, the letter about the pirates, she mostly rambled about meeting the Captain Jack Sparrow, the letter about her wedding, he could not attend do to other obligations, which he felt extremely guilty about. The last letter she sent was when Will left for Spain. This man managed to make her feel so loved, yet so alone and terrified. Jonathan hated the sight of Will, he would not look at him, nor be in the same room as him. He was here for Elizabeth and her son, not for Will. Jonathan is going to ask her to come to Port Royal, if she and Will were not to stay together, something in which he hoped for.
