DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
Elizabeth quickened her pace as she walked into town, she was visibly nervous, James had never been that threatening before, and for the first time she was afraid, not only for herself but for Will, James was now out of control. Elizabeth knew it was after noon, so she headed to the docks and went to see if Will was there. When Elizabeth scanned the docks, she saw Will talking to a some man. Elizabeth walked up behind Will.
"Will?" Elizabeth spoke quietly.
"What are you doing here?" Will asked a bit surprised to see her.
"I need you to come home." Will looked at the man.
"I'll be a second." Will then walked a bit further away with Elizabeth, he noticed the concerned tone in her voice.
"Elizabeth I am a bit busy." Will said looking at her.
"Will, it's extremely important, please."
"Elizabeth if we are to leave soon I need to finish plans with this man." Will said.
"Will, I don't ask for much…I want you to come home now." Will looked into her eyes, she wanted to tell him something, and she was also afraid, he could tell by her shaking hands.
"Alright." Will then took her cold hand and headed home. At first they walked in silence, but when the buildings and people became scarce, Will spoke up.
"Elizabeth what is this about?"
"James came to the house…" Her voice was shaking.
"What did he want?" Will asked.
"Apparently the Pearl was spotted nearby, and he thought Jack may be here."
"Well we haven't seen him…but that couldn't what has unsettled you so much?"
"He threatened us, he said that if we were harboring him, we would be punished to the full extent of the law." Will took her by the shoulders and stopped her before they went into the house.
"Did he hurt you?" Will asked, anger was rising within his body.
"No, just scared me. I have never seen that look in his eyes before Will, he looked as if he would have hurt me if he could, he is out of control." They then continued into their home.
"I am sorry I wasn't home, I would have killed him…" Will said as he shut the door.
"I wasn't alone…" Will looked at her with a confused look on his face. "You can come out now…" Elizabeth called out.
Will's eyes went wide when he saw the Captain emerge from the kitchen. "Jack?"
"Glad to see ye mate." Jack said with his trademark Cheshire grin.
"What are you doing here?" Will asked.
"In the area…figured I'd stop by…"
"Not convincing enough…why are you here?" Will said remembering his old friend sly ways.
Jack swayed a bit as he looked at both Will and Elizabeth, "Let's sit and discuss it."
They all headed into the kitchen and Will and Jack sat at the table while Elizabeth went to get something for them all to drink. She put three glasses and a bottle of rum, and a pitcher of water on the table. She poured Jack and Will some rum, and herself water.
"Lady after my own heart." Jack said as he looked at the rum bottle, eyeing it's vintage, it was a very good year.
"Jack, what is this about?" Will asked.
"Well, there is really no easy way to say this, so I'll just say it…Barbossa is alive." Elizabeth and Will both sat back in their chairs and gave each other a glance.
"How can that be? The curse was lifted and he was killed." Elizabeth said.
"We missed something…"
"What could have we missed?" Will asked.
"Someone did not return their blood." Jack then looked at Elizabeth.
"Me? I gave my blood, you saw it!" Elizabeth was shocked.
"Yes, but it was you who took it again when Will took you out of the cave." Jack said.
"I don't understand. Turner blood was needed to lift the curse, making them…human, you shot him, he died…if not all of the blood was returned, then he wouldn't have died…" Will said.
"Very true, but someone gave him a piece of the gold as he sat their rotting…now he needs Elizabeth…Elizabeth is now the blood they need…"
"Who gave him the piece of gold?" Will asked.
"The monkey…as far as I could tell…was trained to give his master the gold…he only did what he was trained to do."
"And who is this 'they'?" Elizabeth asked. "His crew was hanged, I saw it, Will saw it, they are dead."
"Yes, his crew is dead, but that doesn't mean their aren't others that wouldn't want to fight for him, many have."
"Have you seen this new crew?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yes, he attacked while we were anchored off the coast of Kingstown, we were caught off guard, I lost many. Gibbs, and Cotton, are the only ones left, that you would remember." Jack said as his eyes drifted to the floor.
"Anamaria?" Will asked, he remembered her.
"She's dead, died when the first cannon ripped through the hull, she was below deck…" Jack then looked into Elizabeth's eyes.
"Elizabeth, Barbossa is coming after you. He won't stop, he won't rest until he has your blood returned."
Elizabeth became fearful, "Why has he waited for so long? Two years…"
"I have managed to keep him away, but after that attack, the Pearl was damaged severely, she is now just back up to where she was before the attack, I barely made it here before he did."
"He is on his way here!" Elizabeth jumped up from her chair.
"Yes, I came here to take you out of here, you two are safer with me on the Pearl." Elizabeth then got up and walked out of the kitchen and went into the backyard.
"When do we leave?" Will asked Jack, as he watched Elizabeth leave.
"Tonight, Gibbs is waiting for us."
"We were actually planning on leaving tonight…we were going to look for you…" Will admitted.
"Why?" Jack asked.
"The smithy isn't working out, we are barely able to keep up…and I have made Elizabeth put off children…and I can't do that to her anymore…"
"Interesting…I guess this will sort of work out for the three of us." Jack said putting his feet up on the table.
"I'm not sure about that." Will then got up to talk with Elizabeth.
(A/N) I normally don't like to play with the whole curse thing, but I fugured I'd give it a shot, just go with it, you may not understand it right away, but there is a chapter that clears everything up. :)
