(A/N) Alright…here we go…
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"Come in." Governor Swann said as a light knocking was heard at the door of his study.
"Father, can I talk to you?" Elizabeth stepped inside the room.
"Yes young lady, you have some explaining to do." He spoke sternly.
"What did that bastard tell you?"
"Elizabeth I will not tolerate that language in my home, especially not to such a fine Commodore such as Danielson. Know why don't you tell me about this infatuation you have with him?"
"He raped me…he hurt me father, please you must believe me!"
"Elizabeth, you have lied since you first stepped into this house. Caleb is not your husband, and Will is alive somewhere, and Charles is Bill Turner, his father. Elizabeth I am having a hard time believing your story."
"Please, I am your daughter, I wouldn't lie to you…not about this…"
"Your not my daughter." He rose from the table. "You are the daughter of a pirate…Jack Sparrow…you lie just as well as he does…you are a disgrace…but nonetheless I love you…so that's why I believe this is the best for you."
"What?"
"This is Doctor Gable, he is going to help you Elizabeth." She saw the man come from the shadows.
"Father please, I am not lying to you." Elizabeth got up from the chair and stared the doctor down.
"Miss Swann, please just sit down and relax." The doctor told her. "She's delusional Governor."
"I know."
"Please…" Elizabeth then backed up. The doctor then went after Elizabeth, grabbing her, Elizabeth immediately fought him off, kicking and punching.
"Guards!" The Governor called from his room. Two marines ran into the study.
"Hold her still!" The marines then grabbed Elizabeth, one holding onto each arm. The Doctor then got up and fished around his large black leather bag.
"Just hold her still." He said as he pulled a syringe from his bag.
"No!" Elizabeth screamed as he pushed the entire contents of the syringe into her arm.
"That's not very nice mate." Jack was at the door, and quickly took out the two marines that held Elizabeth. "Very inappropriate mate." With one blow to the face the doctor was sprawled out on the floor. Jack then bent over and helped Elizabeth up.
"What are you doing? She is sick! Her mother had the same illness, I am just trying to help her!" The Governor was shouting.
"She's your daughter…" Jack was trying to keep Elizabeth on her feet, whatever the doctor gave her made her incredibly dizzy.
"What would you know about her? You gave her up!"
"I was forced to." Jack then helped Elizabeth to a seat. "You ready to go love?" Jack bent down in front of her.
"Yes." Elizabeth saw what the Governor was going to do. Elizabeth immediately went for Jack's pistol and aimed it at the Governor, the bullet shattering the vase that he was about to smash over Jack's head. "No…" Elizabeth said.
"Would have been a nice move Governor…" Jack then stood up and knocked the Governor down, a punch to the face, sent him flying into a chair, his head lolled to one side and he was out cold.
"I thought you were supposed to stay where you were." Elizabeth said unevenly.
"When have I ever listened to our dear Commodore Norrington. I couldn't take the risk that he would do something to you…so I came here, on my own."
"So Will, doesn't know?"
"No. But I am going to take him to you…and we are going to do what I say. About time I retook the reins around here." Elizabeth smiled.
"Jack I feel horrible."
"I know. Just hold onto me." Jack then lifted her up and began to take her outside.
"Wait, what are you doing?" A maid shouted from the hall, running towards Jack as he tried opening the door.
"Getting her out of here."
"Well your not going to make good time. Follow me." Jack looked down at Elizabeth who nodded. It was Estrella, Elizabeth trusted Estrella.
"A carriage is waiting. When I heard the commotion upstairs, I sent Maurice to get it ready. Are you really her father?" Estrella asked.
"Yes." Jack said with a smile.
"Well now it makes sense."
"What does?"
"Poor child was miserable here, always playing at the beaches, always with Mister Turner…"
Jack just smiled as he lifted Elizabeth into the carriage. "Thank you."
"No problem. Just take care of our girl, keep her away from here. Oh yes…I almost forgot." Estrella then ran into the house and quickly returned. She handed Jack two cloaks…and a small bundle. "It's something she had of her mother, she loved her mother dearly." Jack nodded and quickly hopped into the carriage.

"He's up and gone." Bill said. "Typical Jack."
"I wouldn't worry about it."
"Jack is likely to get caught." Bill said angrily. "Did he say where he was going?"
"No." Then the door burst open with Jack carrying a now fully unaware Elizabeth in his arms.
"What happened?" Will jumped to his feet.
"Her dear old father got to her."
"What?" Will said as he took Elizabeth from his arms.
"Thought she was crazy, so he wanted the doctor to drug her, calm her." Jack followed Will to the back of the blacksmith shop where there was a small bed, Bill close behind them.
"Bastard…" Will said as he laid her down. "She could be out for hours."
"That gives us time." Jack said.
"Time for what?" Bill said.
"Time to take care of this bloody problem." Jack then sat down. "She can't do this. As much as we would like to believe her when she says she wants to kill Danielson, we all know that she can't. We are the only ones on her side, it's time we take care of this for her…no more tears, no more nightmares, no more flinching every time I walk up to her and put a hand on her. It ends for her…and it ends now."
