(A/N) Alright, here's the deal, I am really busy, and this Saturday I am going to the Fun in the Sun thing that ABC has for the Soap stars! So I am wicked busy, and this weekend is the Tax Free Weekend in Massachusetts, so I gotta hit up the mall! Anywho, I noticed some of my regular reviewers didn't review for Windward Changes, could you let me know how you liked it? Alright now…here it is…the plan in motion…

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"Governor, I am so sorry." James said as he placed his hand on the Governor's shoulder. "I know it comes as a shock."

"She was just here! I don't understand!" The Governor cried out uncontrollably.

"She asked for me sir, and when I reached the bluffs, she was on the edge, crying, and she said couldn't live anymore if she couldn't be with Will." James said solemnly. James then looked over at Louis, who sat there emotionless, James wanted to ring his neck. "She took the pistol…and placed it to the side of her head…and pulled the trigger…" James then turned to Louis. "I am sorry Mister Barron."

"Yes, it is a tragedy." He said nothing more. James wanted more than to ring his neck, he wanted to kill him.

"I will leave you to grieve Governor." James then rose and nodded.

"The marines…they are looking for her body?" The Governor asked. "I want her buried next to her mother."

"Yes, they are searching the waters." Indeed, James did have marines search the water for the body of Elizabeth Swann, except there was no body to find.

"Thank you Commodore." James walked away with the sounds of the Governor's sobbing behind him.

Louis looked at the door, there was no way she was dead, James had the look of love, not grief for Elizabeth.

"Stay right behind me Elizabeth." James said as he handed her a cloak.

"I will." Elizabeth fastened the clasp on her cloak and draped it over her head.

"Follow me." They wandered out of the fort. Elizabeth kept two steps behind James, making sure she didn't lose sight of him. They made their way to the docks.

"James, there are four members in your crew."

"Yes, I wanted as few people as possible to know where I was going." James then took her by the arm and lead her to his cabin. As Elizabeth sat down on the bed she felt the anchor pull up and the ship pull away from the docks.

"I can't believe this." Elizabeth said with a smile. "I am free of Port Royal. I never thought I'd be escaping with you." Elizabeth said as she took off her cloak.

"I never thought I'd help. Elizabeth what if Jack doesn't want to help you?" James said sitting across from her.

"I'll figure it out." Elizabeth then closed her eyes. "I feel free."

"Do you have any idea why Will would leave?" James asked leaning forward.

"No. Something had to drive him away."

"What if nothing drove him away?" James asked.

"Then…I don't know what I'll do then." Elizabeth then opened her eyes. "Are you still going to arrest Jack?"

"No." James then looked right into her eyes. Elizabeth thought when he looked at her like that he could see the very depths of her soul. "Elizabeth, I can only help you to a point. Afterwards, you do know that I can have no contact with you whatsoever."

"Yes, I know that." Elizabeth then yawned. "I'm tired."

"Rest." James then got up. "You had a long, hard day…you died." James said without smiling. She knew he was right, Elizabeth Swann of Port Royal did not exist.

"Jack, this is mighty fine of you…" Gibbs slurred as he gulped down another swig his rum. "…buying me rum…" Gibbs then hiccupped.

"The best for my crew!" Jack said as he also downed some more rum. Jack's thoughts then traveled elsewhere. Things were too quiet for him, for his liking. Jack knew things were going to explode and explode soon they would.

"Mister Gibbs do you sense that?" Jack said leaning across the table.

"Sorry Jack, the rum sometimes does that to me…" Gibbs said sheepishly.

"No, not smell that…sense…" Jack said sternly.

Gibbs then turned his head to the side and closed his eyes. "Nope." Gibbs then went back to his rum, leaving Jack to his thoughts.

"Hey Will!" Captain Gallow shouted.

"Yes!" Will shouted from below deck.

"Get your mangy arse up here!" Will then made his way to the deck. "Will my boy, we be heading to Nassau, I want you to me my second in command."

"You mean first mate? I have only been on the ship for a week."

"I know, but I like you. Give me no lip when I ask you to do something, and you do the job well, let's just test the waters."

Will smiled, for the first time in a week, since the last time he saw Elizabeth. "Thank you sir."

Elizabeth slept till the following afternoon, and saw that James was sitting by the foot of her bed. "Have you been watching me sleep?"

"Yes, all night." James smiled.

"Why?"

"Making sure you were alright." James then handed her a glass of water.

"Thank you." Elizabeth gulped down the entire glass. "How long till we reach Tortuga?"

"I was quite surprised at how close it actually was. Perhaps another day and a half or so, perhaps by tomorrow night." James then gripped her foot. "Are you sure your not in any pain?"

"No, I feel better." Elizabeth then tossed her legs over the side of the bed and stretched. "I'm going to get…" The whole ship the shuttered. "What was that?"

"I'm not sure. Stay here." As James rushed out on deck, he swallowed hard, he had met his end.
