Thanks for reviews. Glad you all like it so far. Here is Ch. 2.

Two days after setting out to find Captain Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth was sitting down on the steps to the top deck of the vessel when Will came over to her. They hadn't really talked for two days. Either one was busy helping Barbossa or simply avoiding one another.

"Elizabeth." came Will's steady but firm voice. It didn't show the hurt or the pain he had inside of him ever since he had seen Elizabeth kiss Jack a few days ago.

"Will." Elizabeth said in the same voice, but it was slightly drunk seeing as she had a bottle of rum in her hands. She didn't really care to think of what the other men thought of her while she drank it, because it didn't really matter to her.

"Care to tell me about why you kissed Jack the other day, Elizabeth?" He asked getting straight to the point. Elizabeth, who was about to take another drink from the bottle, lowered it and looked at him with wide eyes. She didn't really think he had seen her kiss Jack, but then again the way he acted around her was basically a ringing bell in her head as to why he was so distant from her. She sighed.

"I only did it to save us, William. If you had watched the whole thing, I cuffed him to the ship. I only did it to save us all. If I hadn't he would've put us all in danger." Elizabeth told him with a weak smile. Had she really done it save them or just to believe that she had. It was confusing her so much that she even doubted her love for Will. Maybe she did have feelings for Jack, like she had admitted to Tia Dalma, but then why was she confused about it all. It didn't help that Will had to question her authority either.

"To save us? You could have fooled me, Elizabeth. It looked as if you wanted to kiss him and wanted to mess up everything between us." He said in a raised voice. Barbossa who was at the wheel and turning the ship slightly to the right, was listening in on the conversation. As was a few of the crew members near by. Elizabeth glared daggers at Will.

"I didn't want to mess up anything between us Will and I didn't want to kiss him! I did it because I wanted to save us from getting eaten by the Kraken!" She said yelling in his face so loud that the other guys went back to what they were doing, seeing as they would obviously hear what the two said anyways without having to eavesdrop on the two. Will was being stubborn and didn't want to believe anything she had to say. He knew she was lieing...almost like it was a gut reaction in a way.

"It sure didn't seem like it was! Tell me the truth Elizabeth, do you like Jack!" Will asked still in a raised voice, everyone stopped doing what they were doing and listened in more carefully. It seemed all that even the ocean was listening in on them, because of how still and quiet it was. Elizabeth looked at Will, took a drink from the bottle of rum, and knew she was going to have to lie to him...even though she wasn't sure herself if she really did infact like the Captain.

"No, Will. I don't like Jack. He's a bloody coward. If you hadn't noticed." Elizabeth said through gritted teeth. Will stepped away from her and knew the next thing he was going to was going to hurt her and him both.

"We're over. I don't believe you, Elizabeth. I hope when we find Jack that you live happily ever after with eachother." He told her and she looked at him not sure if she wanted to believe what he was telling her to be true, but then sighed when she knew he wasn't going to say anything else.

"I hope you know that you'll always have my heart Will, no matter what." She told him with tears in her eyes and then gave him the engagement ring back to him, before getting up and walking to her room in a drunken walk, almost like Jack's but different. Will stood there for a moment and sighed before returning to his duties on the ship. Elizabeth closed the door to her room and remembered the day she had kissed Jack on the Black Pearl.

"I'm not sorry." Elizabeth said as she cuffed Jack to the Pearl. Jack just smiled at her.

"Pirate." Jack said simply as they looked at eachother one last time. Elizabeth walked slowly away almost wanting to chain herself along side him, but knew it would be better if she didn't. So with one final glance she got off the ship and into the small boat to go off to land.

Elizabeth looked at the compass in her hands, as tears slid down her face, and opened it knowing it would always point to whatever her heart desired the most. It was now pointing in a Northeasterly way. She sighed and closed it before laying down on her side and cried herself to sleep.

Hope you enjoyed it. Please read and review.
