A/N: Let us go towards the conclusion of this chapter without further deviation repetition or hesitation.

Jack could only watch as Jill floated to him, limp as a puppet but looking straight at him.

"So, you are the next generation? A poor imitation. Your father, he was too much of a coward to come back to me?" the voice was different from Jill's roughened accent. It was sibilant and slithered round the mind like a snake. "I hate to kill you even. A pathetic specimen."

"We brought back the necklace. Take it and leave us in peace!" Jack held up the necklace, ignoring the fine tremor in his arm.

"Leave you in peace? Oh no. Never. This is too good an opportunity to lose. I can have the souls of three generations. This body is quite useful. It has constructive thoughts. A boy Sparrow? Ah yes, I can feel him. Healthy, strong. He will do nicely. Your whore will serve my minions well. For a while at least,"

With a roar, Jack hurled himself at the body. They rolled over and over through the gold and Jack could hear the thing inside his sister talking inside his head

"Fight it Sparrow. It will make the killing sweeter," Taking up something gold and heavy, he coshed Jill over the head with it. Her eye shut, and the glow from her socket dimmed.

"Is she dead?" asked Will behind him.

"I- I don't know. Go and fetch the girl. We need to break the curse,"

"No." Jill grabbed Jack and he raised the statuette. Her eye was still shut. "Don't Jay Bird. Listen. I'm squashing her. It hurts… She needs our souls. She's hiding an important part of the elements in them… smash it. The souls will bind them forever. Smash it. Kill it. Don't worry about me. Smash… smash…" She screamed and threw him off her. He tumbled back and leapt up. She was floating towards him again.

"Come Sparrow. Dying is not so bad…" with a back handed blow she sent him into a drift of Spanish gold. Still the spirit came. "You will die a coward's death. Like your father,"

Watching from where she hid, Suzi could see everything. She wasn't sure what was happening, but she knew it wasn't the same Jill who ruffled her hair as she walked past, and called her 'Sonny Jim' and dealt with her cousin so well. She was glowing, and floating, and sounded like a governess she'd once had, that had locked her in the cupboard as punishment, but told her father that she had locked herself in there in a temper tantrum. Suddenly her hiding place exploded as Jack flew into it, scattering precious gems everywhere. She somersaulted back too, and felt a stabbing pain in her arm. A diamond had gashed it open as she scraped along the floor. Jack lay near by, and he was scrabbling for the necklace he had dropped. But before he could do anything, the Jill thing was on him clutching his throat. Suzi suddenly knew one thing. The Jill thing couldn't get the necklace. She grabbed it, the blood from her arm making it slippery.

"Sma- sma-,' Jack rasped as the Jill thing's fingers tightened round his throat. "Smash…" his hand made hammering motions as his face turned red, then purple. Suzi suddenly understood. Searching round she found a septre with a heavy diamond on the end. She raised it over the necklace and brought it down on the ruby. Instead of skittering off, it smashed and Suzi had a brief idea of blistering heat, before she was frozen by cold water. She fell back and it all went black.

Jack's dimming vision saw the staff go down and the necklace smash like glass. Jill's body let go as the spirit realised what was happening

"No!" it gave an inhuman shriek. Jack sat up coughing and saw Anamaria come running into the cave with her sword drawn, and the Jill thing being surrounded by lights that sparkled and grew ever brighter until he had to shield his eyes and a beautiful terrible singing that grew louder and louder till he thought his head would explode… and it was over. He was floating in water, yet he could breathe. He could hear a voice like a bubbling brook and the roughest ship eating sea.

She imprisoned us and she set us free… the blood of the virgin girl was needed… she has the fire in her veins as you have the water… he will have the earth and fire and she will have the water and air… you have done well… though fire will carry the mark… the name Jack Sparrow will echo through the ages…

And he was dropped gently onto the ground. He scrambled upright and saw Anamaria. She was being held up by Will and Gibbs.

"Get her back on the ship," he ordered. "The rest of you, take what you have into the berth. We sail as soon as possible."

Jill sat up and her eye widened as she reached up for her eye patch.

"Where is it?" she grabbed a half rotting piece of silk and bound it round her head, hiding the empty socket.

"We'll get you a new one," Jack grinned at her with relief.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her Jay. She just kept going. And- and the things she said… Did you get my message?"

"Yes. Yes I think so."

"Good. Help me up, I think I broke something," he gave her his hand and pulled her up.

"I think I broke my arm. Again. Damn." She cradled the injured arm, and examined herself.

"Never seen that one before." It was a brand, shaped like a wave and a flame, intertwined with each other. "I remember heat? And a voice… I think I might have gone insane you know."

"Hah. Glad I'm not the only one," Jack supported her out the cave. It was over. Finally, it was over.

A/N: there's like two more chapters, to tie up all the loose ends etc. I was thinking maybe of a sequel. Things like school, maybe other things. All that. Tell me what you reckon. Thanks to all those who motivated me to finish On The Deathbed. Love you all. If you liked that you might like Secrets 1 & 2 and the Evanescence trilogy- My Last Breath, Hello and Imaginary.
