Disclaimer: I don't own anything (but if I owned Jack's compass it would point to him always)
The fog finally cleared by morning and there was absolutely nothing in front of them.

"I'm starting to think this might be a bit hopeless. They've only got a few hours ahead of us and yet..."

"Don't start thinking like that lad, look." Jack pointed and Will tried to see what they were looking for.

"Jack, I don't see anything." Jack smacked the back of the boys head and tried again. Will looked and sure enough, he saw a small black speck on the horizon.

"Alright crew, listen up."

Everyone assembled before them which Jack seemed to just notice brought their number to five. He coughed before continuing.

"They're out there, just off from our line of sight but they're there. Now, as I'm sure you all know, Elizabeth is out there yet she's going by the name Keira for the time being. Once we get onto the ship, I don't want any of you hurt or dead in anyway shape or form. We should reach it by nightfall which will give us a good cover. We have to be off of that ship in one hour savvy?"

Everyone nodded and broke off. Both he and Will looked over to the speck. Jack made to say something to the boy but he just patted him on the shoulder before walking off.


Night fell and it couldn't have been soon enough. Elizabeth stood alone and looked up at the moonlight. Only problem was that she didn't look like herself at the moment. A skeleton of a once beautiful woman was all that remained due to the cursed coin she was forced to remove.

"Come on then, ye don' look that bad," Pintel said to her.

She gave him an icy glare and kicked him hard in the shin. She went over to a more secluded corner of the ship and stared out into the sea.

"Where are you?"


"Where did they go," Will asked.

The five of them were in a longboat sailing to the ship that they had seen earlier. Everyone looked over to see complete darkness.

"Must've turned off the lanterns," Anna whispered.

Jack took out his spyglass and took a peek. "Don't worry, we're almost there," he said before putting it away.


Their tiny ship hit the larger one about an hour later.

"Remember, only one hour," Jack whispered before taking out a grapnel.

His aim was true on the first try and Will went up first. Once above, he gave the signal that the coast was clear before everyone else came behind. Silently they went across the deck making sure not to step on any squeaky floor boards.

"How is there no one here," Will asked quietly.

"Maybe it's a trap," Gibbs said.

Suddenly, the lights came on and blinded them for a moment. It was long enough however to have them be knocked unconscious by something they didn't see.


When Will woke up, he found them locked in the brig. Will rubbed the back of his head. He was the only one awake so he just sat there in the dark until he heard someone come to. It was Jack.

"Now what," Will asked.

"We wait for the opportune moment."

"How about a plan. Why don't we make a plan for a change?"

A door opened all of a sudden and they laid down to pretend they were still asleep.

"Guys?"

Will opened one eye and looked at her. "Eli-Keira?"

He sat up and looked at her.

"Will?"

"Elizabeth," Will said reaching through the bars.

He touched her face and she smiled yet pretended to feel it by remembering how it used to be.

"How are you doing lass," Jack asked poking Gibbs to wake him up.

"Oh, I'm fine. I heard voices so I came in here. You shouldn't have come."

Will frowned. "But they kidnapped you, of course we were going to come and rescue you from these bastards."

Elizabeth shook her head. Slowly she reached inside of the cell and put her hand out through a beam of moonlight. Their eyes grew wide at the sight of her skeletal arm.

"That's interesting," Jack said. Suddenly the door opened again.

"Ahh, I see our guests are awake."

"Can't say I'm glad to see you," Jack said before he spat on the ground.

Barbossa merely chuckled. "Just you wait Sparrow. I'll have you yet again."

He looked and saw that the girl was still sitting before the bars. "Come missy, back to your quarters," he sneered. Like the temporarily obedient girl she was, she gave them one last look before leaving the room.


Will got up and grabbed the bars.

"What did you do to her," he demanded.

"Only what I'm going to do to you sorry lot as well. Have a good night sleep; it'll probably be your last."

Barbossa left the room smirking and Will slumped to the ground. Jack put his hand on Will's shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll save her."

"Save her from what though. What could possibly have that kind of power," he asked.

The five of them thought about it together.

"Something connects all of this but what," Anna said.

Jack tried to put the pieces together and succeeded. "It's got to be those bloody Aztec gods again. Why would they employ that damn fool though to do their dirty work?"

"I don't know why but they did and we have to stop them once and for all," Cotton said.

There was a moment of silence.

"And how do we propose to do that," Anna asked.

No one had any sort of plan at the moment, Jack stood up and looked out the window to see dawn approaching. "We've got a little time; let's all just put our heads together and we can hopefully come up with something very savvy. Savvy?"


Saw the movie on Sunday and just have one thing to say: Ahhhh. It was so cool. For my full opinion see my profile. Also I have a new link of the month there if you want to check that out. Hope you all enjoyed the chapter. See you soon. :-)
