Chapter five here. Sorry it's so short. I just haven't had a lot of time to write the story, what with getting ready to go back to school and such. So you must forgive me.

When she woke up, Tara felt warmth surrounding her. She snuggled into it and it tightened. Curious, she opened her eyes to see Jack on the bed next to her. He was still sleeping but his arm was wrapped around her waist. She felt her face heat up and knew she was blushing. She removed his arm and the blanket slid off of her. She stood on rummaged through the desk and found a comb. She combed out three days worth of knots and washed her face with water she got from a basin in the corner. She went out on deck and saw the crew scrambling about. She spotted Elizabeth and went to her.
"Good morning." She said.
"Good morning." Elizabeth replied with a warm smile. Tara noted it with satisfaction. 'Well, at least now I know she doesn't hate me.' She thought. She looked out to sea and her face went white.
"Tara? What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked. Tara pointed out and Elizabeth gasped.
"D-Davvy Jones's ship!" she said. Others saw it as well and ran around trying to make the ship go as fast as it would. The shouting of everyone woke Jack, who came out of the cabin.
"What's going on?" he asked, yawning.
"Jones has come upon us." Mr. Gibbs yelled.
"Bugger." Jack said. Suddenly, they felt the surge of power as Jones called the kraken. Everyone got frantic as they saw the huge shadow go under Jones's ship. Tara stood in thought.
"How much rum do we have on this ship? And gun powder? How much?" She asked as she grabbed onto Will's arms. He stood in silence.
"How much!" she yelled frantically.
"Our stock is full. We just restocked." He said.
"Load all Rum and gun powder into a net!" Tara shouted to the crew.
"What's in yer head, girl?" Barbossa yelled from the helm.
"What you all did to the kraken last time!"
"But it didn't work last time." Pintel said.
"This time we must make it go off inside the kraken. Now quit wasting time and do as I asked." Tara pleaded. People ran about even faster.
"How are we going to set it off?" Elizabeth asked. Tara swallowed and tried to keep herself as calm as she could. She let out a shaky sigh and said
"I will set it off."
"What?" that was Jack.
"I-I'll set it off. I'll stay with the rum and gun powder and blow the beast up when it swallows me up." Tara's voice was shaky now.
"But you can't!" Jack yelled.
"I have too." She said.
"But, you were going to go home, back to your time!"
"I don't belong there. If my parents hadn't jumped ship and found that gypsy, then i wouldn't have been in this mess." Jack stared at her.
"But then I wouldn't have met you." He said quietly. Tara furiously wiped the tears away.
"I know. Jack, please, don't argue. I have to do this."
"No you don't!" he shouted.
"I do." Tara stated stubbornly.
"Fine. Do it. I don't care." Jack said coldly.
