Chapter 30

A/N: Okay hey look things may seem a bit weird at first, but don't worry, if ya read the story then you'll understand the meaning...anyways on to the story.

3 days passed without Ana ever regaining consciousness. During those days everybody stayed by her side watching over her, but none so much as Jack and Elizabeth. Elizabeth stayed during the day, while Jack watched over her at night. On the 2nd day that they had been there Jack was going to go back, but a hurricane came ruining roads making it impossible to pass, and impossible to sail so he was forced to stay not that he had a problem with it.

Jack and Elizabeth were upstairs with Ana, they were the only people left because before the hurricane Solange took the children to go visit Grant's family, Camille went over to a friends house, and Will was back at Elizabeth and Will's house with Nathaniel and Victoria.

"It seems like Fate doesn't want you to leave huh Jack?" Commented Elizabeth sarcastically.

Jack smirked as he looked back down at Ana, "I guess not."

Over in Ana's mind. For the past 3 days she had been wondering in a cloud of fog trying to find her way out. She was freightened and felt like a child calling out to her parents in need.

"Momma...Pappa...someone come help me!" As she ran through the cloud of fog, she finally sees an opening at the end. As she runs towards the end she slips and falls cracking her head and causing blood to run out into torrents.

Back in reality, Jack went off to get some water when he heard Elizabeth scream. He came running back in and saw that Ana's pillow was now completely soaked with blood.

"Wha' 'appened!" He asked as he grabbed Ana's head.

"I dont' know, I was just sitting here with her and then suddenly the blood came out as if she had fallen or something.

Jack checked the back of her head and was shocked to see that there wasn't a cut or anything.

"I don't understan', wha' could 'ave caused 'er ta bleed like tha?"

Back in Ana's mind. When she came to she was on a pirate ship with David her ex-boyfriend. She tried to go towards him to find out what's going on when suddenly the captain comes out of nowhere and grabs her roughly around her hips. "Rememba ya still 'ave ta make up for wha ya did ta ya crewmate."

"Wha?" Asked a confused Ana, and then suddenly she was given a putrid and sickening kiss from the captain. She turns towards David for help, but she sees him slowly walking away from her.

"David," called out Ana stretching out her hand for him from the clutches of the captain who was trying to take her clothes.

"I can't do anything, he's the captain he can do whatever he wants with you." He said as he turned his back on her.

"David..." She said sorrowfully as tears started running down her eyes blurring everything around her.

Back in reality, Jack and Elizabeth were keeping a close eye on her when suddenly they heard a ripping noise from Ana's bed.

They pulled back the covers to see that her pants and shirt was ripped down the side and there was a dark red almost purple discloring on her hips as if she'd been manhandled.

"Wha tha hell's goin on with her?" Asked a spooked Jack.

"I wish I knew!" Exclaimed a just as shocked Elizabeth.

Back over in Ana's mind. As she rubbed her eyes she realized now that she wasn't on the pirate ship with David anymore she was surrounded by darkness.

Ana called out into the darkness, "hello? Anybody there? Will anybody tell me where the hell I am or what I'm doing here?"

Silence once again mocked her for just a moment before lights suddenly illuminated the area in a dark golden like aura.

Ana tried to shield her eyes and found that they were being tied back towards a now visible tree.

Suddenly to her horror the Virginian plantation owner appeared before her with his bullwhip in hand and behind him stood a sea of faces watching her with emotionless eyes.

Ana looked over to her right and saw Tia tied down right beside her with her eyes closed as if she was in meditation.

Ana tried to get her attention but before she could get anything out she felt the cut of the whip upon her skin tearing her flesh.

As the whip hit her skin the wave of emotionless faces spoke out as one "ONE!"

With each cut into her skin the emotionless crowd would say count out her lashes.

Ana cried out with each lash, but with each lash she would feel invisible hands circle around her neck choking her until she couldn't say anything but cry tears that created little puddles that grew with each lash until there was a good foot of water that they were in.

After the crowd reached 10, Tia's eyes opened and a gush of blood poured from them which landed on the master and caused him to scream in agony as the blood that poured from Tia's eyes began to eat away at him.

Ana opened her tear soaked eyes this time to an island at nighttime. It was a beautiful island that had a lake that shone like diamonds from the moon and stars shining on its surface. As she stepped onto the sand she felt the coolness of the sand on her toes and welcomed that feeling, she hadn't felt that feeling ever since she was a kid.

As she got closer to the lake, she softly heard a song singing from some unknown area on the island that seemed close to her, but yet so far away.

Why can you read me like no one else?

I hide behind these words

But I'm coming out

I wish I kept them behind my tongue

I hide behind these words

But I'm coming out

Ana looked around trying to find the source of this strange but true song when she saw Jack standing not too far from her.

She turned around and then there he was standing right in front of her.

Ana looked up into his eyes with a confused look in her eyes.

"Why are you here? Why am I here?"

Jack smirked as he took her hand and led them towards a fallen tree which had fallen down next to the lake.

Ana looked down and saw that their hands were intwined.

She looked up again and saw that the Jack she had come to know was gone and in his place stood the Jack that she had fallen in love with 10 years ago.

She looked at him shocked, "Jack you're young!"

"So are you." He said smirking once more as he walked her over to the lake to show her.

Ana shocked looked at her reflection in the lake. He was right she was like she was 10 years ago at 18.

"But I don't understand..." she said shocked.

"You don't have to," he said as he took he sat joined her by the lake, "you're unconscious in the real world and you're in your subconscious dreaming what you wish to do in real life."

"But, what could I be wanting to do in the real life that I haven't done so far?" She asked confused.

"I've become one of the most feared pirates that ever sailed the seven seas, and I am crew to one of the most feared pirate ships in the nation, what more could I want from life?"

Jack pulled her to him, "this." He said simply as he kissed her.

Like the kisses that they had shared so long ago this one wasn't any different it was sweet but yet there was an underlying hunger underneath it with the promise of so much more in store.

He bit her bottom lip begging for begging for entrance before he slipped his tongue in mending with hers. Ana moaned into his mouth, as his hands moved from her shoulders down to her ass which he gave a squeeze to.

She pulled away and looked up at to see him smirking at her.

"Sorry can't help myself."

"Isn't there something you want to tell me?"

"What are you talking about?" she asked trying to skirt around the question.

"You know." Was all he said as he sat down on the log watching her.

Ana knew what he was talking about, but she couldn't bring herself to say it, or was she too afraid to say it?

Ana turned away from him and started to walk away from him.

"You know, you can't walk away from your problems." He spoke up which made Ana stop in her tracks.

She spun around to see him still sitting there on the log.

"My problems?" She asked increduously, "and what problem would that be?"

"That you can't tell me the truth."

"What truth?" She demanded.

"That you're in love with me, you've always been in love with me."

Ana paled, she felt like she couldn't breathe, or was she forcing herself to act this way.

After remaining silent for awhile she finally allowed herself to speak.

"And what of you! Do you feel the same about me? Or is this some confession that you demand of me for some kind of sick conquest!"

"Your anger and fear is keeping this from happening. And once you learn to control those you'll get all the answers you seek." He said.

Suddenly everything around her started going dark again.

She reached out to him, "Wait! come back! Don't leave me!"

Suddenly it was dark again and she was by herself. Then a bright light exploded around her suddenly enveloping her sight.

Back in the real world Jack put a cold cloth on Ana while Elizabeth was opening the window a bit to allow some air to get into the room which had become stifingly hot.

Jack looked down at the still unconscious Ana when he suddenly noticed that her eyelids were lightly starting to flutter.

"Elizabeth!" He yelled out as he motioned her over.

Elizabeth was by his side in a second and she squealed with excitement as she saw Ana's eyes start to slowly open.

Ana's eyes opened to a dimly lighted room with Jack and Elizabeth staring down at her.

Her eyes went to Elizabeth first smiling warmly as she slowly reached out and lightly touched her friend's face.

"Ana! Thank God that you're alive!" Exclaimed Elizabeth breathlessly as she made sure to be careful as she hugged her friend.

Then her eyes landed on Jack.

Ana was shocked she didn't know what to say. Was what he had said in her dreams true? Did she really love him?

"Hey ya." She said weakly as she reached out and touched his face.

"Hey ya." He said as he ran his hand through her hair ruffling it a bit.

"Ya gave us quite a scare luv."

Ana lightly scoffed, "me scaring ya, well that's a first."

She tried to sit up, but Jack's hands stopped her.

"No ya need ta rest."

Ana looked up at him, "I've had 3 days of rest, I want ta get up!" She weakly demanded.

"No, maybe in a day or two, but now ya rest."

Ana narrowed her eyes a bit before resting back against the pillows.

"Tha's a good girl." He smirked as he took her hand and rubbed his thumb lightly against one of her knuckles.

A/N: Hey the song that's on here is "It's Not A Side Effect of Cocaine I Am Thinking It Must Be Love" by Fall Out Boy. I thought it matched what was going on at the moment. Anyways ok here you go so you know what you need to do. See ya in Chapter 31.
