(A/N) I won't be online for the next two days, I'll be working all day tomorrow (ARGHH!) And Wednesday is my only day off, so I have some things to do, so here is a continuation, of my update!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

Elizabeth opened her eyes to see Will sleeping next to her, she smiled. Getting closer she kissed his forehead. She was happy, for the first time, laying the way she was, she was happy.

"This is how it should be…" Will said without opening his eyes.

"I know." Elizabeth said as she propped herself on her elbows. "It's starting to get light out…"

"I know." Will looked reluctantly at the window.

"Elizabeth?" Elizabeth quickly turned her head to the door. "Umm…I'm not sure if your awake…it's James…" Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "I just wanted to talk to you."

"Let me get dressed first." Elizabeth shouted back.

"Will, you have to hide…" Elizabeth then ran off the bed and started picking up his clothes, handing them to him as he tossed them on. Will quickly kissed her and ran into a closet. Elizabeth threw on a dressing robe and went to the door.

"James, isn't it rather early?"

"It is, and rather improper…I am sorry but it is rather important that I speak to you."

"Alright." She let James in, knowing full well Will was in the room.

"Something is different about you…I believe what I am trying to say is that I noticed something between you and Commodore Danielson…something wrong."

"James, I am not sure what you are trying to say."

"You don't like him. I wanted to talk to you before he woke, so I could speak freely…where's Caleb? Shouldn't he be with you." James then suddenly realized, she should be sleeping with her husband. James then looked at the floor, bent down and picked up piece of fabric. "This…I know what this is." He looked mad, he had picked up the bandana that Will wore on his wrist.

"James I can explain if you just give me the chance."

"Explain what Elizabeth?"

"Let her talk James." Will came from the closet.

"Your dead…" James said bewildered.

"No I'm not."

James then turned his attention back to Elizabeth. "What's going on? I want some answers Elizabeth." By this time Caleb and Bill had come in the door hearing the raised voices.

"Please James, just keep your voice down. Can we speak privately? In your office…today?"

"No, we can speak now." James sat down. Elizabeth then took a deep breath, it was time to tell the truth.

"First, I want you to promise me that you will not arrest anyone in this room." Elizabeth said as she sat down across from him.

"Impossible."

"Do it or I'm gone. James you are a friend and you are the only person outside of Will, Jack, Bill, and Caleb, that I have told."

"Told what?"

"Promise." Elizabeth was fighting the tears.

"I promise." James saw her distress. Will then came up behind Elizabeth and laid a protective hand on her shoulder.

"Commodore Bronson Danielson is not the man who he claims, sure he is Commodore, but there is no doubt you know of the assignments he had."

"Yes to integrate himself into the pirate world."

"Well he did rather successfully. After I found Jack and we sort of had it out, I asked him if I could stay on his ship, he agreed." Elizabeth took a deep breath. "We were on our way to Dominica when we first ran into Danielson. He said he had some information on myself, knowing the information from my past. I grew angry at Jack, accusing him of not telling me the truth, and soon as we docked from Dominica I went in search of Danielson, and I found him. He told me his version of the truth of how my mother and Jack had some sort of affair."

"I knew your mother Elizabeth, she would have never…"

"I know. I argued with Jack…and then I left…and went right to Danielson. He knew I was the daughter of Jack Sparrow…and he used that knowledge to set up an elaborate plan…" Elizabeth dropped her shoulders, looking incredibly tired. James reached over and took her hands, seeing how hard it was for her to tell this story. "He blew up his own ship leading Jack and Will to believe that I was dead. I watched from the protection of brush, his hand clamped around my mouth, Will and Jack looking searching, when I was right there, no more than twenty feet away. Danielson then took me to a cabin he owned, a cabin that was protected…where…he…" Elizabeth let the tears flow freely.

"Elizabeth…" James grew scared, for the first time in a long time he was frightened.

"He raped me…days went by I was beaten and raped by him…" Elizabeth then went on to tell him everything, Bill, Caleb, finding Jack and Will, everything, and when she was done, she looked into James's eyes, and she saw trust.

"I don't know what I can do…" James then got up. "Elizabeth, I am a Commodore just like he is, I hold no rank over him. If I were to try and court marshal him, it would involve a lengthy trial, one I don't want you to go through." Elizabeth looked at him, then Caleb finally spoke up.

"What if the both of us try him? Who decides if he is court marshaled here?" Caleb was unsure of the procedures in the Caribbean.

"Governor Swann."

"Then it should be fairly easy right?" Will spoke up. "He would never go against Elizabeth."

"He might if he thinks she's lying." James said. "I'm sorry Elizabeth there isn't much I can do…the political ramifications would be horrendous." Elizabeth then felt faint, there was only one other option.

"Then he gets what I feel he deserves." Bill said. "He dies."

"Plotting my death are we?" Danielson's voice came from the door. "Elizabeth I thought we knew each other better than that?" Elizabeth stood up from the chair. "Too bad the Commodore can't do anything about it."

"You bastard…" Elizabeth muttered under her breath.

"That I am. Pity your father doesn't believe you though."

"What?" Elizabeth walked closer to him.

"I told him the truth this morning. How you had it out for me…that you wanted to see me go down because I wouldn't give in to your demands…I believe he is consulting a doctor right now, since he so adamantly believes you are crazy." Elizabeth could barely believe the words he was spewing.

"Your lying."

"Why don't you go ask him yourself?"

"No…"

"Elizabeth…you are just so foolish…so naïve, that's why it was so fun to see you squirm." Danielson laughed and walked out of the room.

"He's lying…" Elizabeth said to herself.

"He may not be." James then grabbed her shoulders and made her face him. "I will try and dissuade your father. I suggest you keep quiet, stay in your room and lock it." James then looked up. "Will, you need to get your father out of here, no doubt, if the Governor suggests it, I will have to arrest you, and I don't want to do that. Caleb you get yourself to the fort and keep yourself busy. Is that understood?"

"I can't leave her here by herself." Will said angrily. "I won't."

"Will, if the Governor thinks you are here, if he believes Jack and Bill are here, he will order me to find you and have you hanged. Then Elizabeth is completely defenseless. So go now." Elizabeth turned to Will and gave him a longing look as he and Bill escaped out of the window.

"Caleb, you need to go yourself." Caleb also looked at Elizabeth, knowing she was in danger, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"James, we need to leave." Elizabeth said.

"You can't, I want you to leave this place one day without having me chasing you down." James smiled. "I am going to make sure Danielson stays at the fort, in mine and Caleb's line of sight."

"Okay, what do you suggest I do here?"

"Convince your father that you are telling the truth."
