Author's Note: To answer the question many of you asked, yes, Captain Sao Feng is a real character that will be in the third movie. That is why he's in this story, because I want it to be as much like the third movie as it can be within reason (since I'm not sure what's gonna happen!). So, I hope that clears that up! Also, the story will from this point on be told from different points of views, not just Elizabeth's. This is to make it easier for you to understand. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Chapter 10, Return to Me

Elizabeth Swann

Jack's face was completely devoid of emotion as I was tossed to Sao Feng. I couldn't believe it. We'd gone from certain death by a crushing wave to certain death by the man who controlled said wave. I was becoming so numb to it all.

"What's the matter, Jack? Cat got your tongue?" Davy Jones asked, his tone lacking interest. Sao Feng snapped his fingers then, and two men came forward with shackles.

"Oh…now is that really necessary? I mean…look at her? Skin and bones. She couldn't outrun a snail even if she tried!" Jack protested.

"They're not for her, Jack," Jones said, his tone grim. Jack's eyes widened as the two men walked over to him and clasped the shackles around his wrists. Then the larger, bald one on the left kicked Jack in the stomach, and he fell to the ground, gasping for air. The men laughed heartily, and then came to stand on either side of me, both of them clutching one arm tightly. I sighed and looked longingly at Jack.

"Why shackle me if you need me? What's the point?" Jack asked, trying to stand again.

"Oh, I'll take them off when I see fit. But for now…I want to give you a little incentive to bring me my heart. In one piece." Jones then turned to Sao Feng and nodded. Feng gestured to the two men holding onto me, and they moved away. Feng walked over behind me and wrapped his arm around me, forcing my arms tightly against my waist. I couldn't have moved if I'd tried. "So Jack, if she really means nothing to you, you won't mind if Captain Feng gives her a pirate's hello, now would you?" Davy Jones grinned madly, his eyes filling up with delight.

Sao Feng withdrew a rather long, curved knife from a sheath at his side and held it up to my neck.

"Lizbeth! What on Earth! This is madness!" Jack yelled, struggling with his shackles.

"And I thought you didn't care for anything, Jack," Jones said with a wicked grin. Jack straightened up and tried to look indifferent.

"Well…I don't! Go ahead! Kill her. See if I care! Away with you, wench!" Jack said, swatting at me drunkenly with his grimy, shackled hands. "She was never worth anything anyway. You know how I like my women, Davy. Unattached and at my mercy. And poor Lizzie, here…she's too stubborn for my taste. Likes eunuchs. She wouldn't last a minute with me!" Jack said, staring at me with distaste. His words cut me deeply, but I knew he was just trying to set me free. I focused on the sand beneath my feet instead, trying to ignore his stinging words.

"Jack, I've known you too long, much to my disappointment. So I can't really believe a word you say. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, just this once. Captain Feng?" Davy asked, signaling to his friend. Sao Feng nodded, still holding onto me, and lowered the knife until the blade was against my collarbone.

"STOP! Uh…er…that's really pointless now isn't it? What have you to gain from--" But Jack was cut off, because Feng cut across my collarbone slowly and deeply. I cried out in pain and felt warm blood surfacing and dripping down my front. I looked down and saw that my white shirt was quickly becoming stained with red.

I looked up at Jack, tears in my eyes. I tried to blink them away, but they fell freely down my cheeks. Jack saw this, and I could see in his face that his heart was breaking.

Davy Jones walked over to Jack, water squelching in his boots, and put himself directly behind Jack, still allowing him to clearly stare at me in horror. Then he slipped one hand to Jack's shoulder, leaned forward, and whispered something in his ear. Jack's eyes widened considerably, and he shook his head, face pale. Davy Jones looked up at Sao Feng.

"He's not going anywhere," Jones said, satisfied. Then Sao Feng turned, lowering his knife from my neck, and threw me to his two crewmembers.

"I'll come for you, Elizabeth!" Jack called. I heard his voice crack, and I could tell he was beginning to cry. I'd never seen Jack cry. It amazed me enough that I struggled to turn around and see him. But when I tried, the larger man to my left slapped me hard across my face, and I fell face down into the sand.

"Be'ave yourself, lass. We wouldn't want you gettin' 'urt now, would we?" one of them said. Then his boot collided with my face, and everything went dark.

Jack Sparrow

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Well, actually, I could. I just didn't want to.

Lizzie's shirt was quickly becoming a deep scarlet, her blood pouring from her new wound. Feng smiled at me, as though it gave him pleasure to cut her flesh away from her bones. I looked on at her, and saw tears in her eyes. It was the first time in many years that I'd felt truly sick.

Davy Jones then came to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and whispered in my ear.

"Imagine how she'll look with thousands of those all over her beautiful body, Jack. They'll be everywhere…and I do mean everywhere. Wouldn't you hate to think you were the reason I had to cut her? Could you sleep at night, Jack?"

I shook my head, knowing I could never forgive myself if that happened. I sighed with relief as Sao Feng lowered his knife, but then he threw Elizabeth to his two henchmen.

"I'll come for you, Elizabeth!" I called, and my voice cracked against my will. I didn't even remember the last time I cried. But I was going to cry today.

I don't know how it happened, but somehow Elizabeth fell to the ground. Then one of the men said something to her that I didn't catch, and he kicked her in the face. She didn't move again.

"BASTARD!" I screamed, rushing at her attacker. Then several long, sticky tentacles curled themselves around my neck, and I felt a sharp object slamming into my neck. The ground rushed up to greet me then, with a slap much like that of a woman scorned. Believe me, I knew them quite well.
