HUZZAH FOR UPDATES! Well, it's been a couple o' months since I updated this story but school's been really crazy and I sorta forgot about it… Anyway, another chapter for all you scallywag reviewers!

"This is it! This is it! We're going to save them!"

Will was shouting with glee as the eleven ships of Huck Barbossa as well as the Black Pearl came into sight over the horizon. The dauntless was approaching them fast and the white flag was already raised despite Jack's protests against it.

The crew heard shouts coming from the ten ships as they became aware that a ship was approaching. All went quiet as Huck Barbossa shouted at them that the white flag was up. As the Dauntless came near, Jack and Will prepared to swing overboard to the Rogue Founder.

They made it inside the circle of ships but it was quickly closed afterwards. Anamaria anchored right next to Huck's ship and Will and Jack swung over immediately, Jack thinking of his beloved ship and Will thinking about his wife and daughter.

"What is your purpose, Sparrow? You're easily outnumbered, can't you see?" Huck said, pushing through the crowd of pirates opposite of Jack and approaching them.

"Aye, that is clear as day to me." Jack said. "As you may already know, there is a famous pirate from the states called BlackBeard."

Huck's pirate crew gasped and chatted excitedly unlike Huck who looked at Jack boredly.

"I can tell you where his long lost treasure be… In exchange for Will's family and my ship."

The pirates hooted in joy.

"Now, now," Huck said, "Why would you think that I'd believe you? This could be a lie just to get the worthless women and even more worthless ship back…"

Will clenched his fists at this and Jack looked shocked.

"Wait one moment!" Jack said as the crew became angry. "If I was lying, why would I be here risking my crew's- as well as my own life?"

The pirates murmured as they considered this.

"Fine then. You tell me where the cove is and I'll hand over the bitches and the boat." Said Huck, grinning as Will gritted his teeth.

Jack smiled broadly as if he couldn't believe how easy it was. He pulled out a rolled up piece of parchment from his coat pocket and handed it to Huck who snatched it greedily.

Huck studied it for a moment before looking back up at Will and Jack. He told his men to bring out Elizabeth and Julia and pretty soon Elizabeth and Julia had joined them on deck.

They were a wreck. Elizabeth's hair was matted and tangled and her face was pale as a ghost. Julia was worse, though. Her hair was black from all the dried blood and her dress was stained. All running down her neck was dried blood. It was a horrible sight to see.

Will started towards Julia and Elizabeth but Huck stepped in the way.

"For… insurance…. Just incase you're lying… We'll keep your wife." Huck said wickedly. Will started at Huck but Jack held him back, not wanting a fight.

"We'll meet you at the cove in ten days. If you're not there, we keep her." Huck said. Julia had starting crying in sadness at the thought of losing her mother but Elizabeth held her close.

The pirate crew tore Julia and Elizabeth apart and shoved Julia in Will's direction. Will burst into tears as he grabbed Julia in a tight hug, never letting go.

Huck looked in Jack's direction. "The girl should be enough for now… I'll think we'll keep your ship just a while longer.

Jack looked at Huck in horror but soon brushed it off as the three of them were thrown over to the Dauntless once more. They were told to leave before they got shot.

"Oh Julia…Oh Julia…."

It was darker now and Will was still holding onto his daughter, sobbing. Julia didn't say a word but she was smiling.

"Here here… Let's go get you cleaned up, right miss?" Anamaria said after about thirty minutes. She and Julia went below deck so Julia could get cleaned up.

Meanwhile, Jack was looking out to the ocean blankly. Will soon joined him only he looked much happier.

"Hey, mate." Jack said but without looking at him.

"Jack?" Will said.

"Aye?"

"Sorry about you not getting your ship back."

Jack looked at Will and grinned. He held out a hand and they shook for no identified reason.

"Will!"

They turned around and saw Anamaria standing next to Julia. She was given a pair of Anamaria's pants and boots as well as a fresh clean shirt. Anamaria looked unsure but Julia was smiling.

Will and Julia hugged once more.

"I'm so glad…" Will whispered in Julia's ear but she did not respond.

"Will…" Anamaria said sadly.

"Yes?" Will said, looking at her.

"Julia is deaf in her left ear."

Well? Not much but it gives you and idea of what's coming…
