Someone mentioned something about Barbossa's crew. He came to the island on a small boat, one that didn't need a crew. He was going to get a ship from Jack and then sail off, because of course he thinks himself good enough to captain a ship alone for the time being, and pick up those pirates who are still loyal to him and have them become his crew. That is why he doesn't have a crew on the island de cruces.

The crew stood silently, watching their Captain cry his heart out over the body of his lost love. They had never seen him like this. They had never seen him this torn apart. He was holding her, clutching at her desperately, calling for her to return to him, not to leave him here in a world without her. It felt like time had stopped for all of them.

"Lizzie..." Jack whispered through his tears. "Lizzie... please..." He whispered, clawing at her back, trying to bring some life out of her. He couldn't believe she was gone. He couldn't believe they had gotten this far and she hadn't made it. He had to save her. He had to of saved her.

"I needed to save you..." He whispered, burying his head in her shoulder. At that, the antidote finished surging its way through her veins, cleaning out as much of the poison as it could in those few moments, and her eyes snapped open as her heart started back up from the antidote finally taking affect. She gasped loudly and Jack quickly pulled away from her, his eyes wide. She was breathing quickly and shaking violently, reaching out to touch him. He was caressing her face with his hands, trying to figure out if this was actually happening.

"Elizabeth?" He asked, his eyes searching her face.

"Jack," She responded, her voice shaking. "Where... where are we?" She asked, turning her head slightly and seeing some of the crew standing around.

"The Island de Cruces," Jack said, his eyes still bulging.

"We made it?" She asked, looking back to him.

"We made it," He repeated, obviously still shocked.

"Did you... give me the antidote?" She asked. He nodded his head. She turned again, looking and seeing their ship. "Why... why is the Pearl still here?" She asked, trying to control her tremors.

"Will... Will shot Barbossa. I think he's dead," Jack said flatly, not taking his eyes off of her. Her eyes brightened, and he couldn't help but smile. A tear fell down onto his cheek, and one of her shaking hands came up and wiped it away. He cleared his throat.

"How... are you feeling?" He asked gruffly. She averted her eyes and looked around, searching her mind for an answer.

"Uh... I'm not sure. I... I don't know," She said, shaking her head.

"I... I still have... more of the antidote. You should keep taking it everyday until... it's gone," He said. She nodded, and then leaned forward and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, closing her eyes and concentrating on the feel of him. Her Jack. Her precious, precious Jack. He kept his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly, breathing in her scent and thanking god that she was back with him.

"God, Lizzie, did you scare me..." Jack whispered.

"I scared... myself..." She said, sighing into him. He pulled away and looked down at her, a small smile creeping onto his lips.

"My darling, darling Lizzie..." Jack said, and leaned down and kissed her deeply, something he had very much missed doing. Once the kiss was broken, he lifted her up into his arms, and she wrapped her own arms around his neck and laid her head on his shoulder, happy to be enveloped in his embrace once again. Will slid down the rope from the Pearl and came running over to them.

"I killed him, Jack," Will said as he approached. "I knew you were going to let him take the Pearl and I couldn't let that happen. I couldn't let him take your ship," Will said. Jack nodded in gratitude, and Will's eyes traveled down to Elizabeth. "How is she?" He asked.

"Alive. The antidote seems to be doing its work," Jack said. Elizabeth opened her eyes and looked at Will. She smiled sweetly when she saw him. She reached out for him, and he took her uninjured hand in his.

"Will..." She whispered. "Thank you," She said, many emotions coming through in those two simple words. He nodded, and brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it. "It means so much..." She trailed off. He nodded again.

"It's my pleasure," He said, squeezing her hand and then letting go. "I'll go and throw down a ladder, Jack," He said, running back to the Pearl. Jack watched him go, and then turned to his crew.

"Alright, men. Our journey has concluded itself, and we have a bit of a mess up there on our deck. So... go... clean it up," Jack said, raising his eyebrows. They nodded, and followed in Will's footsteps. Jack looked down at Elizabeth and his face softened from his Captain mode.

"It's so nice to see your eyes again, love," He said. She smiled.

"The same goes to you," She said back, snuggling into his shoulder as they walked towards the Pearl.

As a short explanation, Elizabeth died right as she swallowed the antidote from the effects of the poison finally digging so deep into her that it claimed her life. The antidote surged through her veins in the few moments she was dead, and it began to wipe out some of the poison, which was enough to re-stimulate her heart and save her. It reversed the effects of the poison by removing it in time and beginning to immediately heal her.
