"The one thing you want the most…"

I would have thought that would have been simple. The thing I want the most is to save the man I love, how could I possibly want anything other? I even go as far as to tell Captain Jack Sparrow this when he places his compass into my hands. Why then does it not point to this? Why does it point to Jack? Jack can't be what I want most in the world…can he?

I can't bring myself to look at the arrow pointing directly to the eccentric pirate. It can't be true…I love William Turner. I want to be with him and become his wife as soon as I can.

I would already be Mrs Elizabeth Turner had it not been for Jack. I force all my negative energy towards the pirate Captain. Any time my mind slips and wanders to the feel of his warm firm body against mine both in Port Royal and that island I force myself to multiply those feelings with much stronger feelings of hate.

I can not go back on my word. I made a vow to Will and I will keep to it no matter what it takes. I will be the loving wife William ever so desires and deserves. I will not give in to what I have convinced myself to be nothing more than an infatuation for Jack based on my childhood liking for Pirates.

This arrow and apparent tale of it pointing to the one thing you want most will not stop me from carrying on as I am with my plans to marry William. It sends chills to me when the arrow points towards Jack on more than one occasion. I can feel the feelings I always knew I harboured for Captain Jack Sparrow beginning to surface. I knew I loved him. I had always known it but I refused to acknowledge it.

I have to do something about it. I have to find a way to end this.

I know what I have to do, it is the only choice I have; I can only hope Jack can understand. My lips come into contact with his. I move closer to him loving the feel of his body against mine as our tongues graze against each other. I feel tears pricking my eyes as I pull back, snapping the cuffs into place.

"It's you it's after not us," I whisper as I step back. I long to run towards him and take the hand cuffs and free him and have him pull me into his embrace but I know that cannot happen this was the only way…"please understand Jack…" I think quietly to myself.

"Pirate," Jack whispers his alluring voice sent shivers down my spine as I force myself to leave and return to my husband to be.

I watched in anguish as Jack was dragged from the earth into the crushing chill of the sea. It was the only way I could keep my word to Will and be with him was if Jack and my chances with him were gone. I can only hope he understood.

Although I can't help but wonder where the arrow of the compass points now…
