The boat's insides were huge and filled will precious treasures.
"Make yourselves at home, but what ever you do all hands off the loot." Jack said with a bottle of rum now in his hand.
"Jack where are you taking us?" Elizabeth asked eyeing the many treasures before her.
"To one of me old hang out love, I'd figure we'd get drunk, and sit by the bon fire and tell amusing stories. How's that for fun? Jack said getting more drunk with each sip.
"Well, for tonight you two can sleep wherever you like, we should reach Saint Mare by morning." Jack said and went up to the deck.
Will and Liz went off to the back.
"Is it just me Lizzy or is Jack acting a bit stranger than usual? I mean he's suddenly shows up out of now where and wants us to go on a weekend reunion to some island with him, it just sounds as if he's keeping something from us. And then there's the stolen boat, the black pearl was Jack's pride and glory he wouldn't just get another one."
"Maybe your right, but maybe he does just want to spend time with us. I mean look at our history, plus I have a confession." Liz said sitting on the bed behind her
"Tell me Liz." Will said desperate
"You see this dress? I…stole it." Liz said sobbingly
"Why...what for?" Will said confused
"For you and I knew my father would never let me buy a dress like this; I just wanted you to think I was beautiful." Liz said crying
"Oh Liz I always think your beautiful; you could be wearing a potato sack and I'd still fancy you." Will said kissing Liz.
"Oh Will, I love you." Liz said between kisses
"Liz will you-
Just then Jack pops in drench in water
"The storm's set in so what ever you do, mates try not to move around a lot and shake the boat anymore than she already is." Jack said, and then continued "Will why are you on your knees?" Jack asked then looked at Liz "Strange man you picked." Then left.
An embarrassed Will got up from the floor and looked into Liz's eyes
"Well we'd better hit the hay; captain's orders." Will said giving Liz one more kiss good night
"Good night Will" Liz said and went to sleep
Will walked up to the deck where Jack was steering like the mad man against the storm
"Hey, need some help?" Will asked Jack
'No, I got her under control." Jack said in between the thunder
"Jack, um I've been meaning to ask you something" Will said
"What a coincidence because I've been meaning to ask you something too, what were you and Liz doing down there?" Jack said with an evil grin
"No it's not what you think…I was proposing." Will said sheepishly
Jack immediately spat out his rum
"Proposing!"
"Yea…We've been dating for a year now and I think we're ready for the next step."
"Marriage is for the rich, take me advice and don't do it."
"But me and Liz love each other." Will said
"Look, Liz is rich and you're well mate you're a blacksmith and well her family won't have none of it" Jack said steering
"But…"
"Take me advice Mr. Turner and sleep on it" Jack said
Will now completely gutted walked back down to his cabin and sat on the cot and thought about what Jack said, he began to cry and in anger banged his fist into the wall causing a piece of the wood to fall on the ground, in that chunk of ripped wood was a map nailed to inner wall. Will ripped the map out and held it to the candle it was a map with arrows leading from Port Royal to a place called Dead man's lair. Will gasped at the sight and stashed the map in his pocket.
