(A/N) I know you can totally hate me, I hate not updating, but my house has an Air Conditioner downstairs only, which means my room is as hot as it is outside, which is 95-100 degrees! I hate all of this heat! Most of you know what I'm saying, because the entire U.S is cooking right now! No more excuses, it's supposed to cool down tonight!

Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"No…stop…" Will woke up with Elizabeth mumbling in her sleep. "Don't touch me…" He saw tears running down her face. "No!" Elizabeth shot straight up, fear spreading throughout her body. When she looked over she saw Will looking at her.

"Want to talk?" Will asked her.

"It was just a dream." Elizabeth quickly got up.

"You weren't dreaming last night." Will said, he was determined to get to the bottom of this. "What is it Elizabeth? Something has happened to you, you've changed, I feel it."

"Changed?" Elizabeth laughed, mainly due to fear. "I haven't changed."

"Then why are you so uncomfortable around me?" Will needed to push her.

"I am just tired."

"Your lying."

"No, I'm not." Elizabeth then grabbed a dress out of her closet.

"Why are you doing this? Just talk to me."

"I can't. Just go."

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Yes you are. Leave." Elizabeth was pleading with him with her eyes.

"Fine." He then got up. "You can't keep pushing Elizabeth." And he was gone. Elizabeth slowly slumped to the floor and sobbed.

XXXXXXXX

Will was listening on the other side of the door, she was in so much pain, but she wouldn't tell him. Giving up, he walked on deck, to see that the Pearl was moving on, and Bill was giving orders.

"We are going to Tortuga." Bill told him when he saw him. "You look tired."

"I am." Somehow it felt easy to talk to his father, the father he only discovered yesterday.

"What happened?"

"Elizabeth is lying to me. She woke up in the middle of the night screaming, I ran to her room…"

"Her room?"

"She wouldn't let me sleep in her room with her. I wasn't planning on doing anything with her, she made it seem like I was going to jump her." Bill knew what was happening but couldn't say a word, it was Elizabeth that needed to tell Will. "She kept telling me to stay away…I have never seen her so scared…"

'No you haven't…' Bill said to himself.

"…She's scared of me…Do you know why? Did I do something? Was it because I thought she was dead?"

"No. And I can't tell you. She needs to do that herself."

Tortuga was the same as it had always been. Elizabeth stood at the helm of the ship, watching the city come into view. She knew Will was suspicious of her, and she regretted being so scared, but she couldn't help it. Her hair was whipping around her, and she fought with it so she could keep it behind her ears. "How are you?" She jumped at the sound of Bill's voice.

"How do you think I am?"

"From what Will told me, not so well."

"I don't know what's wrong with me. I can't bring myself to tell him the truth…it just hurts so much." Bill knew it was painful, she still hadn't told him everything Danielson had done to her.

"I know it does."

"Why can't you tell me Elizabeth?" Elizabeth turned around quickly to see Will standing there.

"I can't Will. Please trust me."

"Elizabeth I have all the trust in the world in you. I love you and I want to help you, and I know something is hurting you badly, please just tell me."

"I can't." Will then grabbed her shoulders.

"Elizabeth I am not here to hurt you."

"Please Will…just let go of me…" Elizabeth shrugged off his hands. "Just give me space."

"Fine. Elizabeth, just know I'm here." Will then nodded and left.

"Elizabeth you can't keep doing this to him."

"I can't talk right now, not with you, not with Jack, not with Will." The ship had anchored, and she immediately stepped off.

"Where's she going?" Jack asked.

"Let her go Jack. She's got to figure things out for herself."

XXXXXXX

"Stupid…I should just tell him." Elizabeth mumbled to herself. It would be so hard to admit to Will that a man had done that to her…especially Danielson. She felt rage and sadness all at once, and it was burning a whole right through her. 'I should just sit Will down, and calmly tell him…' Elizabeth thought to herself.

She was now walking in a part of Tortuga that she really didn't recognize, and that scared her. "Oh no…" The street was dark and empty, two combinations she hated. As she walked down the street, she began to hear someone behind her…she quickened her pace, so did whoever was behind her…then she was in a full run. Someone was chasing her…

'Christ where am I?' Elizabeth's mind was screaming…but not for long. Whoever it was grabbed her roughly and pulled her in a dark and isolated alley.

(a/n) I won't leave you all hanging!
