DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"Move." Jack told Will. "You go to her now."

"I don't want to. I don't want to hear her."

"Listen to me, if you don't go I swear your father and I will beat you to a bloody pulp." Jack looked at him with such anger, that Will nearly jumped out of his boots. His father looked as equally mad as Jack.

"Alright."

CCCCCCCCCC

Elizabeth heard his footsteps come towards her. And when the door opened she suddenly felt very scared.

"What is it you have to say?" Will said as he leaned against the door. "More lies Elizabeth."

"No. No more lies."

"Good. So who was he? You lover during those six months, did he leave you, that's when you came for me…"

"No."

"Well, he obviously returned to you tonight."

"He did."

"So what you admit it! I can't believe you Elizabeth, you made me think I was doing something wrong! You play victim well! So who was he Elizabeth!"

"Bronson Danielson."

"So you staged this so you could run off with you lover!" Elizabeth hated the way he was making her feel.

"No Will I didn't run off with him. He took me off his ship and took me to a cottage where he raped and beat me for days. That's what he did. He raped me…" Will took the blow badly.

"What?"

"I was raped Will." He sat down on the bed. "Your father found me…by the time he did he found me I was emaciated, barely alive…" Elizabeth then straightened up. "He came after me again tonight…he slapped me, gave me a good kick in the ribs, and he would have raped me again, that is, if you hadn't shown up." Elizabeth looked at him. "I have never once thought about leaving you, never, all I could think about was you…"

"Elizabeth, why couldn't you just tell me?" Will moved to the foot of the bed.

"Will, I am scared. For the first few weeks I didn't trust Bill, even though he told me who he was. Slowly I began to trust him…but I still don't like to be touched…not the same way he touched me…" Elizabeth's voice faded, but she continued. "Bill offered to help me, he trained me for those six months, I can run a ship on my own as well as defend myself…but I froze…when I knew it was Danielson I froze…"

"Elizabeth…I don't know what to say…"

"I figured that much, it isn't an easy thing to take." Elizabeth looked at him. "I am not innocent Will…he took that from me. I wanted you to be the first one I would give that to, and he took it away. I am not going to let him do it to another girl again." She watched him look down.

"Are you afraid of me Elizabeth? Are you afraid that I'd hurt you?" Elizabeth thought about that, she was afraid of intimacy, not of Will.

"No, but being with you in that way…it brings those days back to me…" For the first time Elizabeth let tears fall. "I am not afraid of you. I love you. I just, I forgot what it is like to be kissed and feel love within it, not hate and rage and filth."

"That's why you didn't want me near you…I should have known…" Will's fist were tight. "I shouldn't have said those things, I shouldn't have left you there…Oh what if he'd have come back?" Will closed his eyes. "I would have lost you for good."

Elizabeth agreed. "Yes, he wouldn't have let me go again." Elizabeth then reached for Will's hand. "Will, I need you. I can't go through this by myself, not anymore…I can't handle it." Will held her hand tightly. "Please, just here…"

"I swear I won't ever leave you again." Will looked at her. Will saw the bruise on her chin begin to form, and noticed the discomfort in her as she moved in bed. Danielson had hurt her badly…and Will hadn't helped the situation by tearing her to shreds.

"I'm scared Will." Will looked outside of the window, it was late at night, she must be tired.

"Do you want me to stay with you?" There was no doubt in Elizabeth's mind.

"Yes." Elizabeth then took his head in her hands and brought his lips to hers. It was a soft kiss, nothing harsh about it, nothing angry. Will looked at her with love, and that's what Elizabeth wanted, she was tired of the pity looks.

"We have to wrap your ribs. If there broken…"

"Their not…" Elizabeth spoke as if she knew what it was like to have broken ribs, and Will just left it at that. Elizabeth pulled the sheets back from the bed to allow Will to slide in them. Will laid down next to her, afraid to get near her, afraid to make her afraid.

"Please, just hold me…" Will wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head. She had been through so much, and he accused her of acting the victim, when she was the victim, he could have kicked himself.

"I'll never let anything happen to you again, I promise." Will said as he pulled her closer.

"I know you won't."

"I'm coming for you Elizabeth, you are proving to be quite the challenge…" He whispered in her ear.

"No, just leave me alone…"

"I have already been so close to you…so very close…now why would you want me to go away?"

"Because you hurt me…"

"Did I? So sorry about that, but it was truly quite pleasurable for me…watching you squirm beneath me…"

"Please…"

"I'm going to have you again Elizabeth. I am coming after you…"

Elizabeth snapped her eyes open. She could have sworn she heard him…his lips so close to her ear. Elizabeth sat up in bed and looked down, she forgot Will was laying down next to her. Will knew the truth, and that was good, but she still felt that momentous terror that swept through her body, every night a nightmare, with any touch, a scream, this constant fear was beginning to take it's toll on her.

She got up from bed and looked around the room…the door was open. She could have sworn Will shut it when he came in, maybe Jack or Bill went to check on them, no, that wasn't it…

Elizabeth walked to the door and shut it. Something was wrong, someone was in this room, and she knew…she knew…

She walked to the desk…and there it was…her confirmation…and she screamed.
