William Turner threw his bag down in the corner of a room and plopped down on the bed, staring at the wall. Elizabeth walked in after him, shutting the door quietly, peering at him.

"Will?" She started walking over to him and sat next to him, wrapping an arm about his broad back.

"Hm?" He asked, still staring at the wall numbly. Elizabeth could tell he wasn't actually listening to her, so she put her other hand to his cheek and turned his head to hers so that she could look into his eyes.

"William Turner, look at me." With wide eyes, he looked straight at her, apparently stunned at her stern tone of voice with him. "What is wrong with you? You're so distant all of a sudden. And I can tell you aren't listening to me or even acknowledging that I'm here."

He smiled slightly and kissed her cheek. "Elizabeth, I'm sorry. It's nothing." He stopped smiling and looked down at his lap, the tips of his mouth tweaking up a bit.

"Nothing. Honestly, Will. I know it's something. You seem so melancholy all of a sudden." She stroked his cheek and brought his face back to hers. "I love you?" she tried, a sheepish smirk on her face.

He chuckled softly, wrapping his arms around her and squeezing lovingly. Then he let go and let his arms hang at his sides. "Barley is after me. I don't know why. Only me, it seems." He shook his head. She rubbed his back reassuringly. "It would seem like he'd be after me, not you. I'm the one with the medallion." She shook her head, before placing her nose to the side of his face and nuzzling his cheek.

"Maybe because he knows he can't get to you." His eyes shot to hers in sudden enlightenment. She narrowed her eyes confusedly. "I don't understand."

Will stood up and started pacing. "He does want to get to you because of the medallion. But he can't because of me, Elizabeth." She shook her head, showing him that she still didn't understand what he was telling her.

He sat next to her and took her hands. "Elizabeth, he knows that I'd give my own life to protect you. He can't get to you. The next best thing would be to get to me. If he could kill…" He stopped abruptly, seeing the fear in his love's eyes. He didn't want to frighten her anymore than he had.

With a hand at her cheek, he kissed her on the lips softly. "Sleep, we'll need it for tomorrow." She shook her head vehemently. "William Turner. You…" She was silenced by him kissing her. "I what?" he asked, a smug look on his face.

"I don't remember," she said with eyes clouded.

"Good, now sleep. I have something to discuss with Jack." Giving her a peck on the lips, he leaned her down on the bed and undid the sheets. She crawled under the sheets and sunk into their warmth as she felt her lover kiss her forehead.

Will stood and blew out the candle that was burning when they walked in. Leaving and making sure the door shut tight, he went next door and knocked. He heard someone moving inside and saw the door open slowly.

Unaro peaked from behind the door and smiled, opening it to let Will in. "Will! Come in." Will walked in. "Thankyou Harold." Unaro glowered at him and saw Will's smile. He smiled as well and pushed Jack awake. He was lying beside Ana Maria, who seemed to scoot as close to the edge of the bed as possible as she slept.

Jack jumped up, dizzy for a moment, then got his wits and rubbed his eyes. "Yes?" He squinted at Will and grinned. "Ah, Will, mate. Shouldn't yeh be next door, ahem…you know?" He walked up to Will and nudged him with a knowing look.

Will shook his head, turning crimson, and sat on the desk, resting his feet on the chairs. "Jack, I was thinking while I was in there," he started, looking down and pursing his lips in thought.

"You think when ye've got a beautiful girl in a room wif yeh? Bloody eunuch, ye are!" He laughed, slapping his knee, before Ana Maria sat up with groggy eyes and glared at him. "Jack shut up!" He shut his mouth and watched as she laid back down.

"My God, woman. Snaps at me every time I say a word," he said, turning back to Will. "And what of yer thinkin' then?"

"Jack, the note from Gibbs said Barley's after me, didn't it?" Jack nodded. "Well, Elizabeth has the medallion. Wouldn't they be after her, not me?"

"Erm, there's a bit more'n that Will, mate."

"I know there is! That's what I'm trying to say Jack!" He got all flustered and started standing up. "They want to get to Elizabeth for the medallion, Jack! That much is true, but the only reason they want me is because without me alive they can get to her."

Jack blinked, looking over at Unaro, who looked just as baffled, if not more because he had no knowledge of the whole adventure in the first place.

Will shook his head. "What I mean is—Barley knows that I love Elizabeth. And that I'd die fighting to keep her safe. If he could get rid of me, by death of course, no one would be left to protect Elizabeth." Jack became sheepish and looked at Will through his lashes. "Erm…Will?"

"Therefore, they get Elizabeth and the medallion. That's the way they want it, isn't it?" He watched Jack with eager eyes, before noticing Jack not really looking at him. "Jack?" He asked again.

"Boy…take a seat, will yeh?" Jack looked up at him and crossed his arms from the edge of the bed where he'd moved while Will ranted. Will's eyes narrowed as he sat back on the desk. "Go on, Jack. Something you neglected to tell me about this whole thing? I know that look." Anger started coming from his eyes.

"Well, mate. It seems that Barley—well, he…it's not that he doesn't want Elizabeth. Many men of his crew do, if'n you know wot I mean…" he stopped, seeing Will blanch. "I mean…forget that…He doesn't need Elizabeth. All he needs is the medallion…and you."

Will shrunk down to the chair he'd had his feet on moments before. "Why me?"

"He might just need to…kill a Turner to have the curse fully lifted. That's all," he chuckled, sheepishly.

Will looked up and nodded. "Well, I'm glad you TOLD ME ABOUT THIS, JACK!" Jack jumped back, waking Ana Maria. "Damnit, both of ye's…" She stopped, seeing Will's face ignite in anger.

"Why didn't you tell me, Jack? You think I might need to know something like this! It is me he wants dead!" He stood up and started pacing, much like he did in his and Elizabeth's room.

"Well, Will…I thought you shouldn't…"

"Shouldn't what! Shouldn't know! Well, why doesn't he just kill me and have out with it?" Will ran a hand through his unruly tresses.

"He needs it to be done in the Dead Sea. With the medallion."

"Then why are we going to the Dead Sea?" Will stopped and looked at Ana Maria who had asked the question.

Jack turned and looked at her, then back at Will. "If we get the medallion into the Dead Sea without Turner's blood, the curse is broken, as well as the death of Barley an' 'is crew is sealed."

Unaro let a slight mischievous grin cross his features before he disguised it again as a blank look. "What if Turner falls into the Dead Sea and drowns?" Everyone looked at him with wide eyes. "Wot?" Jack asked. Unaro shrugged his shoulders and leaned against the wall.

Will glared at him, already not liking the young man. "The Dead Sea has too much saltwater. I'd float." Jack and Ana Maria started laughing, making Will smirk back at Unaro smugly. The darker man glowered, turning his head away.

Without another word, Will turned and walked out of the room before going back into the room where he thought Elizabeth slept. As he walked in, he looked to the bed and was shocked to find her sitting up and wide awake.

"What are you doing? You should sleep." He crossed over and sat on the bed next to her. She smiled, looking at him lovingly.

"It seems I cannot."

Will tilted his head to the side in question. "Will, I fear I can't sleep without you near me." She smiled, running a hand down his strong arm. He grinned and leaned forward, kissing her lips softly. As he drew back, she took him by his shoulders and threw him over her and on the bed. With that, she snuggled into his warmth and sighed contentedly.

He let a small smile come across his features before pulling her closer. "Will, something's bothering you even more than when we first came in here. Tell me," she rested her head on her hand as she looked into his eyes and saw the trepidation there.

Will looked at her and sighed. "I spoke to Jack and he told me that—Barley does want me. Dead, that is." Elizabeth let out her breath, starting to stroke the side of his face. She had a foreboding that this was the case. Obviously, Barley would want them all dead in the end.

The young man continued. "Jack kept it from me this whole time. He knew!" He rolled over, causing Elizabeth to move her hand away from him and sigh, looking to the ceiling, as if for strength to console her love. She set her hand on his shoulder and scooted closer.

"All of that time, he knew that's what Barley wanted, and he withheld it. Why, Elizabeth?" He hadn't really expected her to answer, but she did anyways.

"I don't know Will. Maybe because…he cares about you." She rested her chin atop his neck and looked down at him. "Will, you must forgive him."

"I already have," he said, simply, rolling back over and watching her features. "Then—what?" She raised an eyebrow.

"There's something about that man we're taking with us, Elizabeth. Something I don't like." She giggled, shaking her head. "Can't you trust anyone, Will? He's a boy who was on Gibbs' crew and was sent to carry the message to Jack. I'd say he's trustworthy."

"I know Elizabeth. Laugh all you want. But let me ask you this: How many times have I mistrusted someone and that same someone betrayed us?" Elizabeth thought for a moment and smirked down at him. "Once."

"Surely there've been more than…one. Well, that's beside the point." Elizabeth laughed, laying down and putting her head on his shoulder. "Apparently he can be trusted to take a message to us without being caught. I'd say that's trustworthy," Elizabeth said, trying to reason with him.

All he said was a, "Mm." This, Elizabeth knew, meant he wanted to drop the subject altogether. So she did, leaning up to kiss the stubble underneath his chin.

As Elizabeth wrapped herself around his body and he heard her soft breathing even out, he smiled, knowing she slept. The smile died down though, once he thought about the boy sleeping next door in the room with Jack and Ana.

There was something about the smirk in his eyes that made Will believe Unaro was not to be trusted. Shrugging it off momentarily, he kissed the top of Elizabeth's head and closed his eyes, hoping in the morning that something would happen to dissuade him of his feelings.

The sun arose, causing a light to come in Jack's room. With a grumble, he sat up and turned to draw the curtains that weren't there. Apparently he'd thought he was still on the Pearl and had not realized that he was in an Egyptian tavern with small windows and no curtains. When he finally realized it, he grunted in indignation.

He looked next to him and saw Ana still asleep and then looked down where he knew Unaro slept and saw nothing but jumbled blankets. He jumped out of bed and started for the door when it opened and Unaro snuck in.

Before the boy realized Jack was watching him, he turned and quietly shut the door. "Boo!" Jack said, making the darker man jump. He narrowed his eyes in anger and what looked to Jack like disgust before it was quickly disguised by amusement.

"Wot were yeh doin' out there, eh?" Jack crossed his arms. Unaro dropped some food scraps from his pockets. "I got us food…some food, here." Jack narrowed his eyes suspiciously, but let his thoughts drop.

Unaro narrowed his eyes and snarled as Jack tuned to wake Ana Maria. "Dearest Ana, you must wakey wakey." He shook her shoulder as she sprung up and held a blade to his throat. "Oh, Jack…it's you." With a smirk, she lowered the blade and took pleasure in the petrified look Jack had in his eyes.

He disguised his look as one of amusement and turned around, grumbling about her being a rude wench.

He walked next door and put a hand on the handle of Will's door, entering before knocking. Will and Elizabeth, both, were walking about the room, already awake and washed for the journey. Will smiled at Jack's disheveled appearance and leaned against where his room's window was.

"Wot's so funny, Turner?" He shut the door. Will just shook his head and raised his eyebrows innocently. "Nothing, Captain. Nothing at all." He started making the bed as Elizabeth stuffed her things in the sack on the desk.

Unaro came in and glanced at Elizabeth. For a moment, his gaze lingered, before going to Will. "Captain, sir. When are we leaving because I need to tell Ana, your friend." Jack shrugged. "Soon as possible, I s'pose." Unaro nodded and sent a malicious look at Will, who (as it seemed to the pirate) was the only one who saw it.

Will's fixed stare stayed at the door as Jack closed it behind the foreigner. "Will, we—Will?" Jack lifted an eyebrow. "Will?"

Will shook out of his gaze and looked at his captain. "Oh, oh…sorry…yes?"

"Wot's the matter wit' yeh, mate?"

"I know what's the matter with him," Elizabeth piped in, giving Will a look over her shoulder. She turned and leaned against the desk as she finished closing up her bag. Both pirates looked at her as she stood.

"He doesn't much like Unaro. Doesn't trust him." She glanced at Will, who looked down.

"I dun' much either." Both Will and Elizabeth's heads whipped about to Jack. "Wot? I don't." He said it so matter-of-factly that the couple looked at each other.

"What is wrong with you two? He's just a boy. What could possibly be wrong about him?" Elizabeth crossed her arms and clenched her jaw.

"Barley was once a boy," was all Will said, as he turned to look out the window. "It's his eyes," Jack said. Elizabeth looked at him. "His eyes?"

"Yeh, 'is eyes belie what he says. He cain't disguise his looks quick enough, it seems to me. Somethin' fishy 'bout tha' young'un." Will nodded vigorously. "I noticed that too. It's like he's hiding something. And he hates me, I know it. Just now as he was walking out, he gave me the most contempt look I've ever seen."

"You've both gone mad," Elizabeth said, shaking her head.

The subject was dropped and Jack left soon after.

A man came tumbling down the streets of Cairo with a tiger in his barrel, a dead tiger. "Sir, sir!" He stopped at a constable. "Sir, someone's shot this tiger!" The man blanched and caught the peddler by the shirt front. "You have some explaining…"

"No, no! It wasn't me! I was in the woods just on the other side of that dune and found it. I brought it here straightaway in my barrel.

"Damnit, who could've done it!"

"Some white tourists came in through here just last night," a guardsman said, coming up to stand next to the constable. "It must have been them. They came from the jungle, looking for a good time, they said." He grinned, eager at the prospect of maybe throttling that man he had tried to stop at the gate with the younger one and two women.

"That's them!" He said, pointing to five people who came out of a tavern just to the left.

Jack turned about, grabbing Will by his sleeve and spinning him to look at the constable. Unaro slid behind Ana Maria and Elizabeth, barely touching Elizabeth's arm so that she couldn't feel it in her confusion.

"Which one of you shot this tiger!" The constable demanded in his strong accent.

As Will stood, he noticed at least two fingers pointing at him. Jack and Unaro lost no time in pointing to Will, which Will found ironic because Unaro wasn't even there when he had done it.

The constable looked to the women. "Is this the man who shot this tiger?"

"It attacked me!" Will reasoned, pointing to his face and torn shirt.

"This is one of the most endangered animals in our jungle, boy! And you have killed it. That's an offense greater than killing a human being here!" He nodded to Will as two men came and took Will's arms. "Hey! Let go! What was I supposed to do, just let it maul me!"

"This world wouldn't have done much worse without you," the constable said, earning laughs from not only his men, but a small one from Unaro too. Elizabeth spun and glared at the young man, noticing only then as his hand tightened around her arm. Tearing it away, she narrowed her eyes and turned back, wondering if Will had been right about Unaro.

As Will struggled to get away from the men, Elizabeth ran forward and tried to pry their arms away from him. "Let him go! NOW!" She kept yelling at them, but one of the officers pushed her over, finally having enough of her meddling.

Will watched her with wide eyes and started making a grab for his weapons. One of the officers saw this and hit him over the head hard with the butt of his pistol. "Ah ah ah," he admonished, grinning toothily and shaking a finger.

Elizabeth watched as the unconscious Will was unceremoniously dragged away, most likely to a cell in which he'd stay for awhile. As Jack helped her up, she smacked his arm. "Why didn't you HELP HIM!" She asked, yelling.

Jack flinched. "It'll do the boy no more good than if I just stood here. After all these years, the whelp still hasn't learned that struggling makes it worse for yeh." He shook his head, starting to walk away.

Elizabeth followed him with wide eyes. "What are we going to do about him, Jack? We can't just leave him!" Jack looked at her and stopped.

"What am I supposed to do about it, missy!" Elizabeth stopped when she saw how completely serious he was. Narrowing her eyes, she put her hands on her hips. "You're seriously going to leave him there, aren't you?"

He started walking away and spun on his heel, trying to find the words to say to Elizabeth. "Did you ever think about how good it is that he's in there!" At her blank and angry stare, Jack continued. "Barley wants 'im dead. That much we know. If yeh'd stop bein' such a rash li'l…wench…" he paused, hearing Ana Maria's gasp. That was the wrong wording and he knew it the second Lizzie's eyes started sprouting fire. Yet, he still went on. "…yeh'd realize that Will bein' in that little crummy cell's probly the best thing tha' could 'appen to 'im!"

She shook her head numbly. "He's your friend, Jack! And you're just LEAVING him there!" Jack rolled his eyes. "Miss Swann! Fer once, shut yer trap an' listen ter me!"

She closed her mouth, gritting her teeth and looking really mean. "Go ahead, Captain Sparrow," Elizabeth said through a clenched jaw.

"Do yeh honestly think Barley's goin' ter suspect the illustrious William Turner, first mate to Captain Jack Sparrow, in a bloody civilian cell in Cairo, Egypt!" He waited for her for a moment, then answered for her. "No!"

Elizabeth took a moment to think it over. It certainly was a good point. Barnacle Barley wouldn't expect Will to be captured by Egyptian officers, and even if he did…Jack would get him out. Taking a deep breath, she nodded.

"Good," was all Jack said. He spun and started walking away. Ana followed, setting a hand on Elizabeth's shoulder as she walked by. Unaro watched as Elizabeth looked at the place where Will had been dragged. He came up beside her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Do not worry, Miss Swann. Your protector is in prison, but I shall protect you now."

Elizabeth looked up into his eyes and saw something belying his words in them. With a small smile, she nodded and hurried to catch up with Jack and Ana Maria. She wondered if Will would think they betrayed him for leaving him in that cell while they continued on.

With a deep breath, she gathered herself up and walked alongside Ana. Elizabeth couldn't stop turning to look at the prison, as much as she forced herself to believe it was for Will's life they were leaving him there.

With the rampant thoughts surging through all three of their brains, Jack, Elizabeth, and Ana Maria never realized the long absence of Unaro. Jack stopped and turned around, causing Ana and Elizabeth to nearly bump into him.

"Wot now?" Ana asked, putting her hands on her hips. Jack looked back and forth.

"Where's that little…" he stopped as Unaro stepped up behind him. "Right here," was all he said. Smiling at Elizabeth, he turned and started walking ahead again. "He creeps me out," Jack murmured. Elizabeth hated the looks Unaro was giving her. They made her not only queasy, but extremely unsettled.

"Jack," Elizabeth said softly. He turned slightly and looked at her as they continued on. "Can't we find a way to tell him what we're doing?" She looked down at her feet as she walked. "Or at least say goodbye?"

He only shook his head. "Regrettably not." She nodded, glancing back again. Unaro was already buying camels. "We cannot afford four camels," he said. Elizabeth glanced at him and narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"We have enough money, Unaro. We have enough for at least fifteen camels, how would we not have enough for four?" He shrugged and stepped back, watching her adamantly. "Jack…erm, Captain." Unaro paused, looking to the camels again. "We should only buy three. Believe me, I know the ways of business."

Jack eyed him suspiciously, noticing the way he watched Elizabeth. If only Will were there to throttle the young man out of his wits. "No, Captain…it's for the whelp's own good that he's stuck in there," Jack thought to himself.

"I'll share a camel with Miss Swann," Unaro said, quickly. "You will not!" Elizabeth barked, grasping the reigns of a camel. "But—Miss Swann, I…"

"You are over stepping your boundaries, that's what you are doing," she snapped, completely astounded at his unmitigated gall.

Jack bit back a laugh and took his own camel. "Dun' look at me. I'm not sharin' wit' yeh," he said. As Unaro started turning to Ana, he stopped short as she yelled, "Hell no!"

With a defeated sigh, he took some of the money in Jack's sack and bought a fourth camel. "Guess we could afford it after all, eh Unnie boy?" Jack grinned cheekily as they rode off. With a deadly glare at the backs of his companions, Unaro jumped up onto his own camel and went after them.

"Get in there, you brute!" Will was thrown head first into a minute cell, covered in straw and things he didn't even want to think about. He stood up and watched the laughing man walk away.

He went to look out the small hole with bars that he suspected was the only way the whole prison got any fresh air. He had no worries though. Jack would definitely get him out of here and before long, he'd be on a camel, taking his Elizabeth to her freedom. A small smile graced his features, before he heard a voice next to him.

"What's the smug grin about boy?" He spun and saw a guard watching him. With a glower he sunk down to sit in the straw. He'd just have to wait, he supposed.

With every single step her camel took, Elizabeth became more and more upset. They just left Will there, alone, pondering his fate, and most likely believing they'd come to his rescue. With a start, she looked up at Jack. "Jack!" She sped her camel up a bit to come up level with him. "Wot now, lass?" He didn't even glance at her as he kept riding, Unaro beside him.

"Jack, I have a horrible feeling we misjudged the officers who arrested Will." He looked over at her again and raised an eyebrow. "What do yeh mean?"

"Did you ever think that maybe in Cairo they hang people for killing an endangered animal!" She looked at him solemnly before his eyes shot open. "They wouldn't," he said, numbly.

"They would," Unaro said, with a hint of satisfaction. "You knew about this!" Jack roared, stopping his camel and staring at the younger man. "Everyone does. The penalty for killing an endangered animal is worse than killing a human being!" The look on his face was smug and Elizabeth had the urge to rip it off.

"Why didn't you tell us before we left him there!" She demanded. "I thought you knew," he shrugged.

"If we knew, he would be sittin' 'ere wit' us!" Ana snapped, taking Unaro by the collar. He grumpily pulled himself away.

"Jack, we have to go back! They'll kill him! We have to!" She grabbed his arm, trying to tug him backwards. "Alrigh' alrigh' dun' drag me off meh bloody camel then!" They started turning around as Unaro got a complete look of anxiety on his face.

"No, you can't go back!" He fumbled over his words, causing the other three to look at each other suspiciously. "Why not, lad?" Jack asked, tilting his head so that the beads in his dark hair knocked together.

"I…nevermind. Let's go." He turned his camel and started back with them, a thoughtful look on his face the whole time. Jack noticed his furrowed brow and smiled smugly. Something was up with that boy and Jack knew it.

"Wot was it 'e said, agin?" A crew mate asked Lambry as they snuck behind a wall. Lambry rolled his eyes. He was surrounded by idiots, even the captain was empty in the wit department.

"The lad said Turner was arrested fer shootin' a tiger dead." The men behind him started chuckling. He shushed them with a stern look and glanced around the corner at the guard standing post in front of the prison doors.

"Innit funny 'ow the great Will Turner wos arrested fer somefin' like shootin' a tiger? An' then 'is mates dun't even rescue 'im!" They started laughing again and Lambry spun around.

"You loafs dun' shut up, I'll make yeh shut up…wit' dis pistol, got it!" They shut their mouths again with dirty looks. "An' dun' look at me like that neither."

Will laid back against the cell door. He'd been in there for at least a day, hearing about his sentencing. They would hang him tomorrow. The boy was entirely confused though. It had been so long since he'd been arrested and Jack, Liz and Ana Maria hadn't come for him. He didn't expect Unaro to.

Unaro.

Now he was an oddity if Will had ever known one. Well, he had. He was first mate to Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl. If Jack wasn't odd, no one was.

Will was slowly becoming bitter, wondering why no one had come to help him out. Did they actually believe he could break free from this cell himself? The window was large enough for him maybe to fit through, yes…but the bars were steel. He'd seen enough steelwork to know this wasn't broken through very easily.

With a grunt, he dropped his head against the bars behind him.

Thump.

He sat straight up. What was that? He turned around and his eyes enlarged considerably. Backing away and stumbling as he stood, he was stopped by the cell wall. "No…" he murmured as the cell door swung open with a squeak.

"Oh, yes." Was all he heard as the hilt of a cutlass was brought down upon the back of his skull.

Scattered faces above him were all William Turner saw before only patches were revealed and finally, he welcomed the darkness that overcame him.

(A/N:) I know, it's a bit of a cliffy. Sooorry. Actually, not really. Nyahahahahaha! (That's how I cackle.) I feel I've neglected my little cliffies. In fact, did I ever have one? I can't remember, oh well.
