(A/N) I love this chapter! I just had to give it to you guys! Let me know what you think!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"That was a splendid Elizabeth." Her father said as everyone finished their meals.

"Thank you." Elizabeth then started clearing the table, Will got up to help her.

"Jack, Adam, and myself are going to the Pearl and Sovereignty and make sure they are both ready to leave by tomorrow." Will said.

"Alright, I'm going to clean up, send the children to bed, and explain things to my father and send him home, so we can enjoy what's left of this night." Elizabeth said with a smile.

"Then I guess I better hurry." Will said as he kissed her.

"I think that would be a good idea." Will then quickly turned around and went to gather Jack and Adam and they left for the docks.

"William, Eveie, come here!" Elizabeth called for them.

"What do you need?" William asked as he and Eveie walked in.

"I need the both of you to go upstairs and get dressed for bed."

"This early?" Eveie wined.

"Yes, we are leaving tomorrow, so I want you to rest." Elizabeth said as she started putting dishes away.

"Fine, but tomorrow I am staying up real late." Eveie pouted.

"I'll be up soon to kiss you goodnight." Elizabeth finished cleaning things up and walked into the parlor where her father was sitting.

"I need to talk with you." Elizabeth said as she sat down across from him.

"What is it?"

"We are leaving tomorrow, I can see that coming here wasn't such a good idea." Elizabeth said looking down.

"So this is the last time I will see them?" Her father asked, his voice shaking ever so slightly.

"Yes, we are leaving tomorrow sometime after noon. We will wait for you at the docks…I won't be coming back."

"Elizabeth, this isn't entirely fair."

"No, but neither is myself and my husband being persecuted by that pompous windbag. Father, I have children now, I think for their well being before my own, I won't have them threatened by him, or have him spit on their father. Will is a good man, he loves me and his children, there isn't anything he wouldn't do for us, he would go as far as dying for us, it is beyond me why you and James just can't see that." Elizabeth said.

"Elizabeth, I know Will is a good man, a good father, but he is a pirate, and he has turned my only daughter and grandchildren into such, how am I supposed to feel?" He said his voice beginning to rise.

"Nothing, he is my husband, this is my life, there are many things that you have done in your life that you would hate to be brought on the table." Elizabeth said angrily.

"Nothing I regret."

"So sleeping with every whore in London while mother was sick, dying, in bed, is non- regrettable?"

"Elizabeth, I am you father, I demand more respect than that!"

"I give you the same you give me…which is none!" Elizabeth then got up and walked upstairs.

"What were you and Grandfather arguing about?" William asked.

"Nothing, don't worry about it." Elizabeth then tucked him into bed and kissed him on his forehead.

"Mommy, I don't have to wear anymore of these dresses?" Eveie asked.

"No, today was your last day." Elizabeth smiled.

"Great!" Eveie then snuggled into the covers that Elizabeth tucked in tightly, she kissed her daughter and headed for the door.

"Love you…" Elizabeth whispered as she shut the door slightly.

"Love you too." They said in unison. Elizabeth walked down the stairs and into the kitchen and took out a glass of water and drank from it, she was angry, so she had to calm herself.

Elizabeth walked back into the parlor where she saw her father still sitting in the large armchair. "I can't believe your still here." When Elizabeth turned to stand in front of him she dropped the glass of water and let out a blood curdling scream.

Her father's throat had been slit. "Oh my God…" Elizabeth fell to the floor in disbelief. As she looked at his body once more she noticed a note that had been pinned on his jacket.

Sins of the Father

Elizabeth's thoughts immediately went to her children. When she got up and started to run she was stopped by a man that stood at the stairs.

"Bastard." Elizabeth quickly grabbed the sword that was on the mantle and held it at him. The man just smiled at her and took out his sword. They went back at forth, until the man caught her and pushed her to the ground.

"Just go quietly…" He said to her.

"Go to hell." Elizabeth sneered. The next moment a sword went right through the man. Elizabeth scrambled to her feet and looked at her savior.

"James?" Elizabeth said breathing heavily.

"Elizabeth, go get your children and get out of this house!" James said as more men came into her home. Elizabeth ran up the stairs and as she looked back she saw James fall…he died protecting her…he died trying to redeem himself.

There was no way Elizabeth would make it out of this house with her children in tow. She knew they were after her, for whatever reason. She went into her children's room and locked the door.

"William get up!" Elizabeth whispered loudly.

"Mom?"

"Listen to me…" Elizabeth then opened the closet door and put a blanket in the closet floor. She then went and picked up Eveie and grabbed him by the hand and took him towards the closet. "There are some very bad men downstairs ok, I need you to stay in here with your sister…"

"Mommy what about you?" Eveie began to cry.

"I'll be alright, now William, I am trusting you to protect your sister. Stay in here and keep quiet, do not come out until either, I, your father, Jack, or Adam come for you. Do you understand me?" Elizabeth asked.

"Yes." He said shaking.

"Good then." Elizabeth then helped them in the closet and kissed them one last time. Elizabeth locked the closet door and then before she left the bedroom she locked that one too. She then ran down to her bedroom and pulled out her bag which had her own sword in it she took it out and stood her ground, she wasn't about to let anyone hurt her children. The door to her room began to open and in walked a man whom she did not expect to see…not at all.

(A/N) A HA, thought I'd tell you everything! bwhahaha! Anyway, I thought that if I were going to kill the Commodore, I would have him trying to protect his only love, Elizabeth, even though he was pretty nasty, I had to put the poor guy back in my reader's good side! As far as the Governor, getting the cut..(hehe, no pun intended) well, it works out as you'll see in the next chapter! Let me know what you all thought. Much Love!
