(A/N) Faithful Readers: "Is she gonna post another one?" I know that's what you all may be thinking...and you know what...one more after this...maybe another and another and another...

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"Come sit." Barbossa said to Elizabeth as she was brought in by two nasty pirates. She sat down without saying one word.

"So what is your plans for me…" Elizabeth asked, fear not showing on the outside, inside she was trembling.

"Probably not what you think." Elizabeth looked at him as he put a box in front of her. "Open it."

Elizabeth hesitantly opened the box, and inside it was one of the gold coins on a chain. Elizabeth looked confused. "What is this for?"

"For you…" He said taking it out of the box. "It is the exact same coin you took, still even has the whelp's blood on it…but doesn't have yours…" Elizabeth looked at him.

"So I assume we are headed to the island…" Elizabeth said smartly.

"No, exact opposite, I feel as though, having the gift of not dying is a bit more powerful…"

"I don't understand, you gave that whole speech about not feeling anything, wanting to feel things."

"True, but now that I have been dead…I've changed my mind. You see Elizabeth, you are the key, as long as you live, I will live, if you die…my immortality goes with you…" Elizabeth's eyes widened as she realized what he was going to do with her.

"I returned my blood! You took the coin from the chest, not me!" Elizabeth shouted.

"Yes, but it was you who took it out of the cave...I'd say you did a bit more damage than me..." Barbossa then swung the necklace in front of her.

"I am not wearing that." Elizabeth said getting up from the table pointing at the coin.

"I think you are." Barbossa then grabbed her and sat her in the chair. He called for a few of his crew mates to hold her down, as he clasped the necklace on her. Elizabeth struggled, she did not want to live forever, the curse would now take hold of her. She would feel its full effects. Once the necklace was on her, Elizabeth started feeling different, so much so she didn't know how to handle it, she jumped back with her back against the wall, her hand delicately touching the coin that hung on her neck.

"The only absolute way for me to know you are alive and well, is if I take charge of you myself. You are free to roam the ship, I have instructed my crew not to touch you…when we dock, you are not to be free from my sight, try anything rash, and you will be locked in your cabin." Barbossa then stepped closer to her and whispered in her ear. "I had the same reaction you are having right now…the bitterness and torment your soul will feel will come eventually…you will become hateful and bitter, that is what the curse does best…" He then walked out of the room leaving Elizabeth to understand everything on her own. Elizabeth slowly slumped to the floor and cried, she felt she was locked in, and the worst part was, she didn't think Jack or Will knew anything about Barbossa's plans…she would never see them again. Elizabeth slowly stood up and walked up on deck, she felt nothing, no breeze, no cool Caribbean air, nothing…she felt absolutely nothing… Elizabeth then continued downstairs to her cabin and locked herself in, when she looked in the mirror she saw that she was crying, but didn't even feel the tears on her cheeks. Elizabeth sat in the corner of her room and cried, she rocked back and forth, cradling herself, to sleep.

The Pearl had finally caught up with the Gale. Will looked onto the horizon, they should have caught up with the Curse by now. Will hated himself right now, the last time he looked at Elizabeth she had a look of hate for him on her delicate face. He wished from the beginning that he told her everything, but he hadn't, he wanted to tell her that he desperately wanted to have children with her, that he loved her so much, that he was willing to make her hate him to keep her safe. 'Not the best plan I have come up with…' Will thought to himself.

"Will, we can see the island in the distance…" Jack said as he approached him.

"And?" Will asked with enthusiasm.

"The Curse is not there…I don't know where they are Will…I'm sorry." Jack said with sorrow.

"Where would he go?" Will asked. "You have to know a place."

"No I don't. I have ordered the crew to drop anchor, so is the Gale, we will plan something with Adam, maybe he has some answers…I'm sorry mate, everything backfired." Jack said slapping Will on the back.

Will looked away from his friend, he couldn't look at Jack in the eyes. 'Have I lost Elizabeth forever? I promised her I'd keep her safe…and I let her down.' Will then got up as he saw Adam come aboard.

"Jack, so what's the plan?" Adam asked as he sat down next to Will on a crate.

"Barbossa obviously didn't take her here…which completely throws off my theory…" Jack said also sitting down.

"He can't die right?" Adam asked.

"Right." Jack said.

"What if he…doesn't want to be human? What if he wants to remain undead?" Will said his head lifting.

"Makes sense on why they aren't here." Adam said.

"He is going to keep Elizabeth alive…" Jack said.

"But he can't keep her alive forever, eventually he has to know that she will die…" Adam said.

"Not if he uses the curse." Will jumped up from his seat and took out a map. "He took a coin, the coin that has my blood on it, the one Elizabeth did not return, and he will give it to her…now she cannot die…if he keeps his eye on her, he can insure his longevity." Will then unfolded the map.

"He headed out from Tortuga and headed west…" Jack said tracing the currents in the map. "Martinique…is the nearest island…it's worth a shot…"

"Let's go." Adam said as he got up and started to head towards his ship. "Captain Sparrow, my ship and crew are at your service…anything to insure my cousin lives." Jack nodded at him and the Pearl and Gale headed off to Martinique.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Elizabeth watched as Martinique came closer…she had seen it only once before, she stopped here on her way from England. She watched as Barbossa ordered around the crew, and wondered, wondered whether she could ask him things…she had so many questions, and he was the only one that could answer them.

"Excuse me?" Elizabeth tapped him on the shoulder.

"What?" He said annoyed.

"I wanted to ask you a few questions." When he looked at her he realized she wasn't trying to trick him.

"Alright." This was a different side of the man Elizabeth once thought to be despicable, he was just a man, trying to gain power, wealth, fortune, he was no different from Jack, Will, or Adam for that matter, his practices were just much more ruthless, and Elizabeth kept that in the back of her mind, because the first chance she got to escape she would.

"What did you want to ask?" Barbossa questioned as they sat down at a table.

"I want to know everything…want I can and cannot do…what will happen to me?" Elizabeth asked.

"Well, you are already feeling the first effects, no feeling…soon as time goes on…you will forget things…I told you hate would take over your heart…people you once held dear will no longer be the same to you, they will no longer matter. I am glad to hear you are accepting your fate." He said still wary of her true intentions.

"Why fight it? I can't fight it no more than you could, we are stuck…unless…" Elizabeth reached for the necklace and was about to take it off when he stopped her.

"They didn't tell you did they?"

Elizabeth stopped, "Tell me what?"

"We are the only two left who have this curse laid upon us…my survival depends on yours…whatever happens to me will happen to you…take that necklace off, and suffer…go ahead and try." Elizabeth dared him and took the necklace off…big mistake on her part. Barbossa got up and threw her on the ground and kicked her, pain surged throughout her body, she dropped the necklace, it was right in front of her, but before she could reach it and put it back on Barbossa stepped on it and picked it up.

"You see Elizabeth, this tiny bit of gold has taken over my life, you don't understand, I know that…you my dear are the new blood needed. The heathen Gods are not pleased with you…you are an exception to their rules, take off that necklace and you will slowly die, because if you dare try and do that again I will kill you…make no mistake…I have no problem with dying, I have done it before…" Barbossa then bent down and put the necklace back on her. "That is why I made sure that was around your neck, with it I will live forever, without it you will die. Do not make the mistake in thinking that I need to live forever, as long as I get my revenge, I do not care what happens to me."

"Revenge?" Elizabeth said gasping for air.

"Yes…the point of this was never for me to live forever…it was to live long enough, so that way I can see Jack, Will, and you die. I have it all planned, except, I can't decide who should see who die…you watch them, or them watch you…I guess for the simple fact that once again Jack failed would be better…"

"So that's it…you just want us all to die?" Elizabeth was finally trying to sit up.

"Yes." Barbossa then grabbed her by the back of her dress and threw her in her cabin.

"You will be locked in here…" He then slammed the door, and Elizabeth could here the door lock. She was so angry, but she actually did get something out of that encounter…Barbossa was afraid for her to leave…he was afraid, he didn't want her to go anywhere without him, she was going to get off this ship.

(A/N) One more to go. Ok, if that was confusing tell me, then in the next time I update, I will better explain the plot. Thanks and keep reviewing!
