Ok I know that one part of this chapter was taken from Dead Man's Chest but I just couldn't resist.

Amelia pulled on a rope as rain poured down over the ship. They were in a storm and she was tying things down. At the moment, she was tying down a huge box.

"How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn't work?" she heard Will ask.

"Aye, the compass doesn't point north but we're not trying to find north, are we?" Gibbs replied. He turned to Jack who was steering the ship. "We should drop canvas, sir?" he asked.

"She can hold a bit longer." Jack said.

"What's in your head that's put you in such a fine mood, Captain?"

"We are catching up." Amelia stood and looked to see what else to do. She suddenly heard a rope snap and was tackled out of the way by Jack. She saw that the crate she had tied down was too heavy for the rope and it had rolled towards her.

"You alright love?" he asked. She nodded and was grateful that he had saved her until she realized that he was lying on top of her. She pushed him off and went below the deck.

"Dead men tell no tales." Sang Cotton's parrot as they entered a lagoon. Amelia stood at the railings looking at all the wrecks

"Puts a chill in the bones how many honest sailors have been claimed by this passage." She heard Gibbs say. Jack was at the helm. She saw him close his compass because Cotton kept looking at it too much. she smiled a little and turned back to the wrecks. She had been avoiding Jack since her saved her life. She had taken duties like cooking and that sort of stuff. Everyone seemed that much happier. Amelia found out that she was a good cook. Amelia glanced at Jack but he caught her gaze.

"You've been avoiding me, love." He said it as a statement.

"I...well...yes." she finally said.

"And why might that be?"

"I came here to find my sister and bring her home. That's all." She said. Jack was silent. He steered the ship, making sure to stay away from the other ships.

"I'm sorry if I lead you on, but-"

"If you go back to Port Royale, then you have to marry that boring old Commodore." Amelia smiled sadly at the nickname he had given Norrington. Jack grabbed her around her waist.

"You know its true, love. So stay with me. You can stay aboard me pearl once I get it back and-"

"And once I give in, you'll throw me aside just like those women—Scarlett or Giselle—and move onto someone new." Amelia said. She was seriously considering staying with him but she didn't want to be another name Jack's list.

"I wouldn't do that to you."

"How can I be so sure?" Jack was silent. Amelia looked down and nodded.

"I thought so." She said. She stepped away from him and was about to walk away when Jack grabbed her arm. He pulled her back to him and gave her a passionate kiss. They broke apart and Amelia blushed because people were looking at her.

"If I get the Pearl back, will you come with me?" he asked. Amelia stared at him and said "Yes." She never had seen Jack so happy. He hid it well, but it was in his eyes. She smiled and Jack took her hands and placed them on the helm.

"Jack, I don't think-"

"If you have any problems, ask AnaMaria." He said. He walked down and heard Will and Gibbs' conversation.

"What did he use for rope?" Will asked.

"Human hair. From my back." Jack said from behind them. They looked up at him and he said "Let go of the anchor!" the crew hurried to obey his orders.

"Young Mr. Turner and I are to go ashore." Jack said. Jack started walking back to Amelia.

"Captain! What if the worst should happen?" Gibbs asked.

"Keep to the code." Jack replied.

"Aye, the code."

Amelia went after Jack who was working on getting a boat ready.

"What about me?" she asked.

"What about you?"

"Your planning on leaving me here?" she asked angrily.

"Yupp."

"But that's my sister out there!"

"I know."

"You cant just leave me here!" she shouted.

"'course I can. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow."

"I don't care if you're the bloody king of England! I'm going!"

"I hate you Sparrow!" Amelia yelled as she watched him go off with Will to the cave. She was handcuffed to the mast so she couldn't go. Jack had cuffed her there himself.

"Now, hate is a strong word." AnaMaria said.

"Well, its how I feel about him right now!" Amelia said as she sat down. AnaMaria leaned against the mast.

"No you don't." she said. "I've seen the way you look at him and the way he looks at you. You're in love." Amelia looked up sharply.

"Maybe I am. But right now, I could kill him!"

"You may not have to." Gibbs said.

"What's the code you're supposed to keep to?" she asked.

"Anyone who falls behind is left behind."

"What!" she yelled. Suddenly they heard sounds of someone coming aboard the ship. Elizabeth came first.

"Not more pirates." Elizabeth said.

"Welcome aboard, Miss Elizabeth." Gibbs said.

"Mr. Gibbs?" Elizabeth asked. Will came on board now.

"Will?" Amelia asked, "Where's Jack?" Elizabeth looked to will.

"Jack? Jack Sparrow?"

"He fell behind." He said. Amelia sat in shock. She suddenly stood up and started pulling on the handcuffs. She tried to pull her hand through but it wasn't working.

"Let me out of these damn things!" she yelled while still pulling.

"Amelia?" Elizabeth asked. She ran to her sister.

"Let her go now!" Elizabeth said trying to help her.

"If we let her go, she will only go after Jack. She will only kill herself. She must stay cuffed until we are out in open sea. We will keep to the code." Gibbs said. AnaMaria started yelling orders as she went to the helm.

"Weigh anchor! Hoist the sails! Make quickly, divvies." She yelled. Will lead Elizabeth below deck. Amelia kept struggling as hard as she could. She kept going for awhile. But when she stopped, she fell to her knees exhausted and crying.

"Let me go." She murmured half heartedly. She leaned her head on a couple of boxes. She stared off into space and got lost in thought. 'Wow… I guess I thought he'd always be here… Maybe AnaMaria was right…. She was right. I love him.' She looked over to AnaMaria.

"I love him…"she told her.

"Can you not let her go now!" Elizabeth asked. She had just come up from below A set of keys were thrown to Elizabeth and she put them in her dress.

"What's happening?" Amelia asked.

"The Black Pearl, she's gaining on us."

"This is the fastest ship in the Caribbean." Elizabeth said.

"You can tell them that after they've caught us." AnaMaria said.

"We're shallow on the draft, right?" Elizabeth asked.

"Aye."

"Well, then can't we lose them amongst those shoals?"

"We don't have to outrun them long, just long enough." AnaMaria turned the helm and shouted "Lighten the ship, stem to stern!"

"Anything that we can afford to lose, see that it's lost." Gibbs yelled.

"Elizabeth!" Amelia yelled. Elizabeth ran to her.

"I can't get out! Where are the keys?" Amelia asked. Elizabeth felt for the keys where she left them. She looked up at Amelia.

"They're gone." Elizabeth said. Amelia started to struggle again. The crew ran about dumping things overboard. Will came up from below as AnaMaria said "It was a good plan up till now."

"Gibbs! We have to make a stand. We must fight! Load the guns!" Will said.

"With what?" AnaMaria asked.

"Anything. Everything! Anything we have left." Will replied.

"Load the guns! Take shot and langrage. Nails and crushed glass! With a will!" Gibbs yelled. "The Pearl is going to luff up on our port quarter. She'll rake us without ever presenting a target."

"Lower the anchor on the right side. On the starboard side!" Elizabeth said. She was looking around for the keys while she talked.

"It certainly has the element of surprise." Will said.

"You're daft, lady! You both are!" AnaMaria said.

"Daft like Jack! Lower the starboard anchor! Do it, ye dogs, or it's you we'll load into the cannons!" Gibbs shouted. Elizabeth told AnaMaria to let go of the helm and the ship swung about.

"I wouldn't mind some help here!" Amelia yelled. Elizabeth looked around more frantically. The ships exchanged cannon fire. Amelia had to duck as a piece of wood came her way. Gun shot and more cannon fire rang out. Will, Gibbs, and Elizabeth hid next to each other, firing their guns.

"We could use a few more ideas, lass." Gibbs said.

"Your turn." Elizabeth returned.

"We need us a devil's dowry."

"We'll give them her." AnaMaria said pointing her pistol at Elizabeth.

"Get away from her!" Amelia yelled, still trying to pull her wrist free.

"She's not what they're after." Will said. Elizabeth put a hand to her neck and realized something.

"The medallion." She said. Will ran below deck to search for it. Amelia spotted a lantern. She reached for it as far as she could and she grabbed it with the tips of her fingers. She swung it against the mast and broke it. The oil spilled on her hand and she started pulling again. She soon had to duck because a cannon ball blew the mast in half.

"Hey! Hey! Below!" Will yelled.

Jack swung onto the Interceptor and he helped Elizabeth.

"That's not very nice. Where's the medallion?" he asked.

"Wretch!" She yelled and tried to slap him but Jack caught her hand.

"Ahh. Where's dear William?" he asked. Elizabeth ran off to find Will and Jack spots Barbossa's monkey and ran after it. Amelia's wrist still wouldn't come free. The pirates saw her but none bothered with her. The crew was rounded up and put on the other ship. "No no no no no. No! Let me go!" Amelia yelled at the handcuffs. She saw the Black Pearl sail away and pulled as hard as she could.

Ahhh all my lovely reviews. So encouraging!
