Hey,

Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Answers:

MeraSparrow: Thank you! And thanks for the info, I seriously had no idea. Why not just write the prequel first…? Oh well, I'm sure J. R. R. Tolkin had his (his? I know nothing about Lord Of The Rings!) Reasons!

Ogreatrandom: Ah, LOST! Only seen one episode, very good though!

6Meofcourse: Thank you! And you're so lucky to get a black lab! I have a border collie, she's so cool!

Thanks for your review,

And your poem's cool too

I can't wait for your next one

It will soon be due

I'll still write

If this is read

My mate's says this poem's crap

(Shut up Fred!)

LOL, your turn!

Pirate Inxs: Yeah, I do it to annoy my brother!

Grateful for Greg: Yeah, me too! Ah well, better her then you or me.

The empty heart: …review… lol, thanks for the last!

TheCoconutKiwi: Yeah, thank you! And at the risk of sounding snobbish, I thought that was quite good too. (Sorry, I don't mean to be a snob) It's what one of my friends would say, I kinda based Meg off of her.

Hey, even though constructive criticism is good, I do like the kind of reviews you give me the best! LOL, I'm only a kid and I love it when people like my stories. I've never been to New Zealand, but I would like to go! And yeah, I did think of it because of your name. That was funny, the last bit. I'm very proud! How come you are called theCoconutKiwi then?

I have a question:

What's a Mary Sue? Thanks!

Ok, bye everyone!

Love,

SSM ;)

oOo

Jack looked out to the horizon, fingering the wheel of the boat. Elizabeth sat on one of the benches, her eyes shut but not actually sleeping. Jack squinted out at the ocean. There was another boat sailing in the same direction as they where. Jack's eyes widened as he saw what boat it was. He swore so badly Elizabeth's eyes flew open and she fell off her bench. "Mr Sparrow!" She exclaimed, picking herself up.

"Shut up, love!" He growled, leaving the wheel and leaning over the side of the boat to get a better look.

"What is it?"

Jack ignored her; he just continued to look at the boat. "Of course…" He muttered, "James Bear."

"Jack, what's happening?" Elizabeth demanded.

"Hurry up, 'Lizabeth. Go and drop the anchor, then I want you to hide on this boat. My – your… the girls are on that boat."

Elizabeth gasped and began to hurry around. "Are you sure?"

"Positive."

Jack started to take off his boots. He removed his jacket, but left his sword and gun. He pulled himself up onto the side and jumped off, landing in the water with a little splash. He resurfaced just in time to watch Elizabeth come after him.

"What did I say, lass?" He snarled as she pulled herself up and gasped for breath. "They're my daughters!"

He sighed. "Come on then!" They both swam to the other boat as quietly as possible.

"Follow me." Jack muttered in undertone to Elizabeth. She nodded, and followed him up the side of the boat. He stopped suddenly, making her bump up onto the underside of his boot. They both stayed there for a few minutes, clinging onto the rope ladder. Finally they heard a voice.

"Any idea about where they went, Cap'n?"

"There's no explanation for it, Bird. The ropes mustn't 'ave been strong enough." Just hearing James Bear's voice sent a shiver down Jack's spine. He hoped Elizabeth didn't see.

James contained. "They must 'ave fallen into the sea. They aren't on the boat, we 'ave searched a million times. They're dead, Bird."

Elizabeth let out a rattled gasp. The voices from the deck stopped.

"Did you hear that, Captain?"

"Aye, I did."

Jack swore under his breath. He flattened himself up against the ship, and Elizabeth followed.

Two head's peered over the side of the boat, but couldn't see anything. A windowsill hid Jack and Elizabeth's heads from sight.

"Wind, Cap'n?"

"Must 'ave been. Anyway, our bargaining chips have just fallen into the sea. We better go think of a new plan."

"Aye aye, Cap'n!"

"Wait a second, Bird…"

"What is it?"

"That ship over there…"

"It's a Navy one, isn't it?"

"Shoot it down. Get the cannons. No navy boat can be near mine."

Jack swore again. He and Elizabeth held onto the boat as it shook. Jack watched in horror as his ship sunk a bit. And another bit. Soon there was only the mast.

"Perfect." He growled. James' ship began to sail away, with Jack and Elizabeth still holding onto it tightly.

Elizabeth pulled herself up so she was next to Jack. "They're not… dead. They're not, right… Jack?"

Jack bit his lip. Hard. Blood tricked out of it, warm on his tongue.

"Jack?"

"I… I…" Jack couldn't say it. He didn't need to. Elizabeth's face crumpled and she put her head on his shoulder, and cried silently. Jack wished he could too, but strongly his eyes where dry. He felt numb, and not just because of the seawater.

He whispered out into the wind. "Meg… I'm sorry."

A/N: I'm sorry it's so short, but I'll write some more soon. Hope you liked it!
