a/n: This was a hard chapter to write, I was kind of blocked. Still I think it turned out pretty good. I hope you'll like it. Just let me know.

previously

Elizabeth is torn between her feelings for Jack and Will. Nathan uses her confusion to get her to help him get Lynn...or Rosalynn as she was once known.

Warning: This chapter contains suggested rape, if you are offended by that kind of thing please don't read! I'm not gettinginto thegraphics or anything but still I think a warning is in place.

chapter ten: Giving up

Elizabeth walked slowly back to the Pearl. She was stalling. She knew she was going to have to come up with an excuse as to where Lynn was. And she couldn't just say she was captured. Jack had to think she left by choice or he would try and find her. The Black Pearl came into view. Elizabeth prayed Will and Jack weren't back yet just so she had some more time to come up with an excuse.

"Perfect timing Lizzie. Where's Lynn." Elizabeth turned to face Will and Jack. The pirate captain was as drunk as ever.

"She..." Will glared at his fiancé.

"Where is she?" he asked sounding angry.

"She...she met someone she knew." Jack looked at Elizabeth.

"Who?"

"Someone from her past...she wanted to catch up."

"Who?" he repeated.

"Some Nathan guy...he was her fiancé. She thought he was dead." Elizabeth explained. "She told me to tell you she's staying. She'll meet you next time we're in Port." Elizabeth lied.

"Why? Where is she?"

"At his house." Elizabeth said. Jack's expression was cold, Elizabeth even got scared at how hollow he seemed.

"We're leaving first thing tommorrow." He announced as he got into the boat.

"Would you stop crying allready! Your giving me a headache!" Nathan yelled as he stared at the woman sitting on the floor in the corner of his chamber hugging her knees tightly. Grinning he walked over to her as he wrapped a sheet around his waist. He trew a robe at the woman and ordered her to put it on.

"I gave you a choice...You could've enjoyed this just as much as I did if you hadn't been so stubborn." Still sobbing Lynn put on the robe and clenched it around her body.

"We'll be getting married the day after tommorrow." he stated before he left the room. Lynn broke down. She felt disgusting her body was burning where he had touched her. She wanted to kill him. Make him suffer. She wanted to take a bath...get the filth of off her. Suddenly the door opened.

"I thought you might be hungry darling." it was a woman's voice. Viola walked over to the vanity and put down the tray of food. "I brought you something to drink as well."

"Who are you?" Lynn said between sobs.

"I'm Viola, a friend of Nathan." she said. "Are you exited about the wedding?" Lynn answered her question by starting to cry again.

"What? Something I said?" Viola asked with an evil smirk on her face. "Oh right...Nathan told me. It's that pirate guy isn't it? Don't worry sweetheart, you'll get over him."

"I love him." Lynn stated.

"You'll love Nathan."

"Never...I hate him." Lynn said sharply as she got up and walked towards the sound of the woman's voice.

"In that case you'll get used to him."

"You sure seem fond of him."

"I love him." Viola smiled.

"Then why help him when he tries to wed another woman...who doesn't even want him!"

"Because of the money..." Viola grinned. "He'll get your money and title, and he'll be able to provide for me and our child." Lynn head snapped up in shock.

"Your child?"

"I'm two months pregnant." Viola grinned. "It's perfect isn't it...not only will he get money and a title. He'll also have a plaything while I can't...well you know." with that said she walked towards the door. "I should go, and you should eat quickly. Nathan will prabably be back soon. He's determined to break you." and then she left.

Her words still haunted trough his mind, even though it had been a week since he had left Lynn at that Port.

"I love you." she had said to him. For a moment he even wanted to say it back, hell he wished she was here...so he could say it over and over again! He wondered if that was why she had left...because he didn't say it back? He didn't even get the chance to say it. Elizabeth was there when he was about to...

"Are you okay?" He turned to find Elizabeth standing behind him. He nodded.

"Thougt you and Will were allready asleep." he said. Elizabeth nodded.

"I was...but I woke up. What's on your mind?" she asked.

"Nothing." Elizabeth raised an eyebrow at the pirate. "Lynn."

"It's been a week." Elizabeth smiled.

"She told me she loved me." Elizabeth swallowed a lump in her troth.

"Then why was she kissing Nathan?" she lied. Jack took a deep breath.

"She kissed him? How, why...I mean...no, she didn't."

"Yes she did..." Elizabeth said softly. Slowly she pulled Jack into a comforting hug. "You need to stop thinking about her...She's not comming back. She and Nathan probably picked up where they left of." Jack pulled out of the embrace and looked at Elizabeth who still had her hands around his neck. Suddenly the woman pulled him towards her and planted her lips on his. Quickly he pulled away.

"Bloody hell! What's that all about?" he yelled. Elizabeth looked bewildered.

"I'm just trying to help you get your mind of off her."

"What about Will?" Jack asked.

"What about Will?" Elizabeth repeated, her voice without emotion.

"What happened to Lynn?" Elizabeth whirled around as she heard Will's voice.

"I told you!"

"Well I perfer the truth!" Will yelled. "What did you do?"

"I told you the truth...she's with Nathan."

"Elizabeth...I'm calling of our engagement right now if you don't tell me exactly what happened!" Will treathened. Elizabeth's eyes darted from Will to Jack and back to Will. She broke down.

"I'm sorry..." she cried burrying her face in her hands.

"What happened? You can still fix this!" Will tried to convice her.

"Nathan told me about Lynn's past. They really were engaged...he wanted me to bring her to him."

Jack and Will listened carefully to the entire story. Will had never felt more dissapointed as he heard his fiancé had feelings for his best friend. Offcourse a part of him had known. But still hearing her admit it made his stomach lurch. Jack was furious.

"Bloody spoild brat!" he yelled at Elizabeth. "God knows what that guy did to Lynn!" he turned to his crew.

"TURN THE SHIP AROUND!" he ordered them. He turned back to Elizabeth and grabbed her troath forcing the air out of her...

"If that son of a bitch hurt her...I'll kill you!"

Lynns sat at the dinner table with Nathan. She still couldn't believe she was now his wife...it had allmost been a week allready. Nathan grinned as he looked at his wife sitting across from him at the table.

"Your awfully quiet tonight." he said. Lynn didn't answere. "Did you become mute as well? Do I have a blind, mute woman for a wife?" Still she didn't answer. All he saw was a single tear tickling down her cheek. In the past few weeks she had lost everything, her freedom, her innosence, her parents, Nathan had informed her of their departure...and the man she loved.

"If your planning on holding a grudge be my guest. I just hope you'll behave when we go to your parent's estate."

"What?" she asked as she dropped her fork. Nathan grinned.

"She speaks...Tommorrow we're leaving for your parent's estate, We're meeting someone their to handle the property your parents left us."

"Me"

"What?"

"They didn't leave us anything...they left me their money and land."

"In case you've forgotten...we're married my love!"

"Don't call me that! You're love is the woman carrying your child!" Lynn spat as she jumped up out of her seat and wanted to storm out of the room. Nathan quickly stopped her by grabbing her upper arm and making her face him.

"You dare defy your husband!"

"You don't own me!"

"Yes I do! You stupid slut! You're mine! I own you!" With that said he crashed his lips into hers. She tried to push him away like she had tried so many times before. He only enjoyed her struggling as he scooped her up and carried her to his chamber...

Jack and the Pearl made it back to the Port in only five days. He had ordered Elizabeth to guide him to Nathan's house. His jaw dropped when he first saw the luxurious mansion.

"Knock!" he ordered Elizabeth. Slowly the woman raised her hand and nervously knocked on the door. A servant opened.

"Where's Lynn?" Jack demanded as he pointed his gun at the man's head.

"Excuse me?" the man said, his voice shaking with fear.

"Don't play games with me."

"He means miss Rosalynn." Elizabeth tried to help. The servant nodded knowing who she meant.

"Mr and Mrs mcPherson have left to the girls estate to work out her inheritage."

"Where would that be..?"

a/n: I honestly don't know how I came up with this one, this wasn't an easy chapter to wright. I really hate putting Lynn trough all this, but it had to happen. Hope I made you guys curious for what's to come. I promise I'll update soon!
