A/N: Here's the next installment of my version. I'm going to do a little more research before the next chapter so I'm not completely making stuff up. Thanks for all the reviews. I'm up to 5000 hits! Please keep reviewing. I have to go to work, but a bunch of reviews when I get home would be a great ending to my day!

At World's End: Chapter 24

The first three days were mostly just nerve-wracking. The weather was beautiful and the sea was clear. It was water in all directions, and it was exactly how Jack liked it. But with the clear weather, came doubt. They all knew that it couldn't stay this way. Jones would eventually find them. But Jack needed to find another someone before he was found himself.

So, two weeks later, when they happened to find an abandoned island, Jack decided to stop.

"Weigh anchor!" Jack called. Gibbs obediently did as he was told and the ship came to a stop a short while later.

"Jack, why are we stopping?" Will asked.

"Because we are going to talk to the reason Jones cut his heart out."

"But this is an empty island," Elizabeth told them even though it was entirely obvious.

"But this is her island."

"There's a palm tree, some sand, and thousands of miles of open ocean!" Will argued.

"And thus, makes it an island."

"That isn't what we're saying here, Jack. There are no people."

"I think you should shut up and save your observations until we get to the shore."

The four of them climbed out into a long boat and rowed to the tiny island. It could only be about ten feet, from shore to shore. From the deck of their new ship, aptly named, We Need More Rum for This, they could see the entirety of the blasted "island".

(The ship was accidentally named when the four of them were discussing the future, while drinking. Jack, who hadn't ever really thought of marriage and children in a decade, blurted out, "Why don't we just name the bloody ship 'I need more rum for this' because this conversation requires more rum!" And the name just stuck.)

They reached the shore and everything changed. An endless white sand beach was a perfect contrast to the lush green jungle behind it. Tropical flowers grew everywhere. It was truly beautiful. And then there they were there.

Sirens.

Two gorgeous women with white blond hair and violet eyes were on either side of them. They clung onto Jack and Will immediately, ignoring Elizabeth and Danielle completely. If looks could kill, Dani and Elizabeth would be the convicted murderers of their beloveds.

Jack brushed them off and looked one in the face. "I need to speak to your, er, leader, I suppose it would be."

They looked slightly offended for the brush off, so Jack decided to use Dani as a shield and pulled her in front of him. But they decided to call their leader anyway.

As they waited, Elizabeth whispered in Dani's ear. "Who are these women?"

"These are sirens. They lure unsuspecting sailors with their songs and beauty and then kill them. It seems only right that Davy Jones fell for the leader."

"Oh. What do they do to women sailors?"

"Compete," was all Dani said as another woman emerged from the jungle.

"Jack Sparrow, what is this about?" She almost yelled. She was beautiful. She was tall and thin and had the whitest hair anyone had ever seen. Her eyes were silver color that complimented her hair completely.

"I know exactly what you mean," Elizabeth told Dani as both stood staring.

"Well, we just wanted to see if you'd consider taking, um, Captain Jones back?" Jack asked, trying to look charming.

Immediately, the weather took a turn for the worse. It started to pour with rain and thunder clapped loudly above them.

"You have the audacity to ask such a thing? How dare you! I gave that man my whole heart and he was a philanderer."

"Funny you mention that," Will half-laughed.

"Yes, Jones seemed to have given his whole heart as well, and it sits on my ship, currently."

"He thinks that I cheated on him. He denies ever doing such a thing. I fell out of love with him the instant I found out. Sirens, such as I, know the matters of the heart."

"Well, maybe we ought to have a short chat," Dani told her, stepping forward with Elizabeth. Both women blinked against the almost blinding rain, but moved closer still. If the men weren't having any luck, maybe the women could.
