(A/N) Yes, Caleb is involved, and in what way? We'll find out soon enough…one of the many twists I am going to throw at you, so be aware…

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

Elizabeth glanced at the ground, where Will had been laid out by her. "Will?"

"Yes Elizabeth, it's Will." Elizabeth then bent down.

"I am so sorry…you scared me…I was…" Elizabeth stopped.

"I should have known better." Will then rubbed his cheek. "That hurt."

"It was meant too." Elizabeth said.

"I am going to have fun with you…" Elizabeth's mind went into a frenzy.

"Elizabeth what's wrong?" Will noticed her expression.

"I…I…" Elizabeth then began to cry.

"Elizabeth, please talk to me…" He grabbed her elbow.

"No…" Elizabeth pulled away from him and ran off.

XXXX

She went below deck, where the crew was…where Caleb was. Then she spotted him.

"You!" Elizabeth shouted. "You bastard!" Caleb looked up at her and turned pale.

Caleb grabbed her by the wrist and brought her in a room. "Would you shut up!"

"Excuse me! I could have you killed! I could do it my bloody self!"

"Please miss, just be quiet…" His voice lowered.

"How could you watch him do that to me? How could you without helping me?"

"I can't tell you."

"You are no better than Danielson!" Elizabeth turned to walk out the door. Caleb caught her by the wrist and pinned her against the door.

"Do not tell anyone…" Caleb looked directly into her eyes. Caleb took a step back, seeing the fear in them, and nearly kicking himself for doing it. "I'm sorry."

"Please…just don't hurt me…" Elizabeth slid to the floor. Caleb bent down in front of her.

"If I tell you this it could cost me my life…as well as those on this ship…" Elizabeth looked up at him. Fear immobilizing her lips. "I work for England."

"What?"

"I am a military man."

"I don't believe you."

"It's true. I am from Nassau originally, they sent a small group of us into the pirate world, so we could find out things about it, their strategies, their ways."

"Your lying…"

"No Elizabeth, I am not. The reason why I couldn't help you was, for the simple fact that I would have been killed, and parliament is not willing to help us if we are caught. It burned me to let that happen to you, but I am truly sorry Elizabeth."

"What is your name?"

"Commodore Caleb Forester…"

"You know where we are headed."

"Yes, I know Commodore Norrington quite well."

"Oh God…" Elizabeth then placed her hand on her head.

"I won't tell him a word I swear it." Elizabeth looked at him.

"How could you just stand by and watch him…" Elizabeth shook his head at him.

"Elizabeth I am so sorry, please, the only reason why I signed onto Bill's ship was because I knew who he was, and I saw you with him, training. I came back to that cabin and looked for you some days later but you were gone, and in the hands of Bill Turner, your fiancé's father, and I knew your were in good hands. I signed on hoping you wouldn't recognize me, so I could help get the bastard." Caleb then stretched out his hand. "Please Elizabeth, that night has eaten at me, I can't sleep, I can't do much of anything…"

"Well…" Elizabeth then gave him her hand. "I am so sorry for your troubles Caleb, I am so sorry that you had to see that, believe me if there was anything I could have done to stop it I would have." Elizabeth said bitterly.

"Elizabeth, I swear, I will get Danielson."

"No, you've done enough. I want you to leave, once we dock in Port Royal, I will discuss you with Commodore Norrington, and I will make sure you are court marshaled." Elizabeth then pulled away from him. "I won't tell Will, Jack, or Bill, they are liable to kill you…but the humiliation of a court marshal, can't even begin to feel the way I felt with you watching."

"I never looked Elizabeth…"

"I don't care…you could have shot Danielson dead, you killed the other man…no one would have known!"

"I am so sorry."

"Not as sorry as I am…" Elizabeth then slapped him in the face. "You are disgusting."

"I suppose I deserve that."

"More than that."

"Elizabeth, I know things about Danielson that you don't know about, please, just let me…"

"No…"

"Your being unreasonable."

"No, I am being quite fair with you." Elizabeth then turned for the door. Caleb took his hand and kept it from opening.

"He was like me…a former Commodore…" Elizabeth stopped and turned around.

"What?"

"He is still a Commodore…technically…he went missing…I found him and I have followed…that was my job…he is headed to Port Royal to talk with Norrington, because he knows you, because he knows you two are friends…he is going to turn him against you…maybe worse."

"You said you knew things."

"Elizabeth, there is no way you are going to make Norrington believe that Danielson is anything other than an excellent Commodore, never mind trying to convince him that he is a rapist." Elizabeth leaned against the door for support.

"This is getting worse and worse…" Elizabeth then slumped to the floor. "Alright…I will help you…but you must help me…"

"Of course."

"Can you please walk me to my cabin? I am not well…" Flashes of that night flew threw her mind, she was losing control.

"Yes." Caleb carefully took her hand and helped her up. As they were walking to her cabin, Will spotted them.

"What happened!" Will rushed over and picked Elizabeth up.

"She fainted sir…" Caleb answered.

"Will, I don't feel good." Elizabeth said. "Just take me to bed."

"Thank you Caleb."

"Only doing my duty." Caleb muttered under his breath, he felt like scum, but this was his time to help Elizabeth, the young girl he could have helped…but didn't because of duty.

(A/N) Another twist! Danielson is a Commodore…who got carried away with his mission…will Norrington believe Elizabeth?
