Just warn you this chapter contains strong language but please enjoy the rest of the chapter :)

Danielle stood in Jones' cabin, where she was summoned. She stood stiff, fear filled her as she watched the heartless captain stood up from his bench and limped over to her. She dared herself to stare into his cold eyes, but as he stood near her she quickly lowered her eyes, not wanting to stare at the coldness; to remind her what she lost.

"You still fear me lass." Jones stated, harshly. "You seen how harsh the world can be. Everything had been taken away from you."

"I rather not revisit history captain." Danielle stated quietly.

"Past is what makes people." She heard Jones said while walking around her, feeling his cold gaze upon her. "You may not seen it but we are the same. Both had power, were once human, both had lovers."

"I am not a monster!" Danielle stated angrily. "Well...nothing like you or the monster that haunts my dreams. Yes I may have lost everything, but I will never be like you or him. I would rather die than to work for you, if you ever offered me the chance. I saw what it has done to my uncle, he has slowly lost himself, swallowed up by guilt and into nothing. He was my uncle but now it seems he isn't."

"He accepted the consequences lass, I done nothing but gave him another life." Jones said simply while walking back to his bench. "I weren't going to offer you a life before the mast."

"Then why are my here?"

She watched with confusion and anger as Jones turned his back on her, opened what seemed a locket, a sad melody came out from it, it seemed he played it before she came in as it started in the middle. Slowly two of his tentacles gently landed on the organ that was before him.

He plays well. Danielle stated. She shooked her head, remembering where she was, and what was happening. "Why are my here?" She asked again, seeing he weren't going to answer, she forgot everything and stormed towards him. However before she could ask again, the music stopped and so did Jones. He slowly raised his head, and one of his tentacles, wiping what seemed looked like a tear. He was crying, Danielle answered her own question of what he was going, a heartless monster was crying.

"Why are my here?" She asked quietly. "Why have you kept me alive when you were going to kill me?"

"You really want to know?" He asked turning to look at her. "You weren't saved for the goodness of my cursed organ, no I didn't kill you because I wanted you to see Jack, the rest of his crew that you once knew and the Pearl to be dragged under the sea." He stood up and walked towards her again, which made her walk backwards; in fear. "To feel the hurt, the guilt and the heartache, that I once felt... I do not care what you felt towards those who are not with us. I do not care what has happened to you. I don't feel remorse or guilt. I am heartless, and lass you remember that before you question me again."

Suddenly Jones looked up from Danielle, anger she could see in the captain's eyes and hurt. He quickly walked away and out to the main deck. With confusion she followed to stopped behind what seemed all Jones' crew. They all stood still, confusion and anger she felt between them. She looked up and her eyes grew wild, as they landed on EITC soldiers, all lined up over the ship, muskets in their hands and ready to shoot if necessiary. That ment one thing; the monster was there.

"Go all of you!" She heard Jones ordered, his voice unsteady, something she hadn't heard before and she guessed none of his crew did either. "And take that infernal thing with you."

"I'm sorry to hear that, because I will." Danielle herd the cold voice of the monster that still haunted her dreams. "Because it seems the only way to ensure that this ship do as directed by the company. We need prisoners to interrogate, which tends to work best when they're alive."

"The Dutchman sails as it is commands."

"And its captain is to sail it as command." Beckett stated loudly, which made the crew gasp. Danielle licked up her lips nervously, she knew he had something planned something big, but this? This was huge, the pirate world had no way of winning if Jones was not on their team.

"Why don't you fuck off and take that fucking thing with you?" Danielle asked out angrily. She felt everyone's eyes on her, which made her look up. She quickly realised what she said out loud, but she hid her shock with her anger, as her eyes met Beckett's. She stormed forwards, the crew made way for her, their eyes glued on to her. "This world isn't yours either, so why don't you try your business somewhere it is needed. No one here gives a damn about your business, neither would the captain agree to help you."

"Nice to see you again, Danielle." Beckett said calmly, and stood before her. "Seems the cold weeks haven't changed you, not in the slightest."

"Oh what a shame that is." Danielle said sarcastically. "It is a shame I can't say that same thing to you, I would gladly see the back of you or even you dead."

A smirk went across the monster's face, which made Danielle frown. Before she could say or act upon her anger, he grabbed her arm and pushed her into two officers who stood near by. They grabbed her and turned her around, tightly they held her as she fought to be freed. She glared as the monster stared at her with his smirk but quickly went back to stare at Jones. Looking at Jones, Danielle saw confusion in his eyes along with hurt.

"Did you give those ships opportunity to surrender?" Danielle heard Governor Swann ask Jones.

"Guv..." She let out while leaning forward to get to him, but was held back by the officers.

"We let us see us. Me thinks that opportunity enough." Jones stated coldly.

Danielle stared at Jones, angrily but she quickly lowered her gaze as the memory of that dark day began, she remembered every smell, every touch she made, everything she heard it was burnt into her like the brand; it will never go away.

"My daughter could've been on any of them! That alone should've been cause for restraint."

"This is no longer your world Jones. The immaterial has become immaterial." Beckett stated, getting the captain's attention again.

Danielle's eyes grew wild. Every mother's son and daughter's worse nightmare was becoming true, even before they knew! Jack, Ragetti, everyone fought to keep that from happening but it led them to their watery graves, that led her to be alone, to drown in her own darkness and the others deaths were planned.

"I am exterminating pirates, as directed by the Company!" Jones stated out loud, making the nightmare come even sooner. He looked up to Swann and stated plainly. "And you daughter is dead." Seeing fear in the old man's eyes a smile formed on his face. "Pulled under with the Pearl by my pet. Did Lord Beckett not tell you that?"

Danielle watched with fear as Swann swallowed Jones' words, she knew he was trying to fight the truth but fear over took him. He grabbed Beckett's arm and turned made him face him but he avoided his gaze, telling Swann it was true. Swann let go and walked away.

"Guv..." Danielle said out loud, she tried to get free again but the officers held her even tighter. She watched with fear as Swann disappeared into a room. She lowered her eyes, as she heard the monster giving orders to his men. She heard Jones walk away, leaving his crew with the officers.

"Alone, cold, full of guilt and fear, you still haven't changed." She heard Beckett state, as he stood before her again. She was forced to look at him, as he held her head up by his staff. "A shame what happened...I also thought you were dead."

"Like you care what happened or about me." Danielle spat.

"You still holding back your feelings I see. You've haven't learnt anything when you lived with me."

"Ha, actually I have. I learnt how much I hate and how much I would love to see you dead." Danielle stated throwing it into his face. She could see a flicker of darkness in his eyes, but he didn't act upon it. She glared at him, hating him, hating him for everything. "I will never change, not for you neither for the world. I rather die being myself than live a pretend life. So I would rather die now, so I can be back with the people I love and not stay on this rotten world no more."

She continued to glare at Beckett as he lowered his staff and moved his gaze to his officers who was holding her. "Take her back on to the Endeavour, and throw her into the brig." Before he moved, he glanced at Danielle.

Tugged by the two officers, Danielle protested to move. She needed to talk to Governor Swann, before anything else could happen. She knew people did drastic things when upset, and she hardly saw the man upset but this was closer to home than she thought. She did see the Pearl being dragged under the sea, to witness the death of her friends. She needed to explain to him what happened. To explain his daughter done what she, what they thought was a good thing to fight for. Yet again Jack Sparrow tricked them all, but he did not have the last laugh neither, live to see what was the outcome of his death. No none of them were, except her. She had to live with it all, and now the monster was back, threatening the whole pirate world!

"Let go off me!" She said angrily, trying to get free again. "I said let go off me!" Neither of the men let go, she let out a sigh and stopped. "I hope I wouldn't have to do this." She quickly and harshly elbowed both of them in the ribs and in the face as they bended over in pain. They let go, which she took the opportunity to run to the room where Swann disappeared, Jones, Beckett and Mercer followed.

"The crew are not bound to me. They are bound to the Dutchman." She heard Jones stated coldly. She slowly walked to the door way, and saw the heartless captain standing off the side, nearing the scared, worried Swann, Norringtion pointed his gun at Jones. Beckett and Mercer stood away, it seemed no one noticed them. "And the Dutchman must have a captain. Will ye serve?"

"No, no." Swann replied scared. He quickly looked down at the chest which no contain the beating heart of Davy Jones and was about to stab it.

"Governor!" Beckett shouted, gaining everyone's attention. "Your daughter is still alive.

She watched Mercer step forward and stared at his boss in anger. She guessed he didn't want the truth to be told, but Beckett was scared if Swann would stab the heart than his plan would blow up.

What?" Swann asked confused.

"I saw her myself, in Singapore." Mercer replied.

Danielle stared at the scene confused. All of a sudden her friend was still alive, but why was she all the way in Singapore? If she was still alive maybe the were others too. A feeling exploded inside her, a feeling she had forgotten what is was. Was it hope? Hope that her friends, Ragetti and Charlie were still alive? Was it happiness? Happy that they weren't planned, that so far it weren't to the monster's expectations.

"Ha...no...you're all liars." Swann stated.

"No. Jones...is merely cruel." Beckett stated while walking towards the chest, stopping he glanced at Jones and back to Swann. "I am perhaps guilty for the sin of omission, for which I apologise."

Danielle stared at the scene nervously, it was the first time she heard Beckett apologise but she was unsure if he meant it. She slowly walked forward, gaining Swann's attention. "Guv...please don't do this." She slowly stated. "Mercer is telling the truth, though it kills me to say it, he wouldn't lie to Beckett knowing what would happen. Lizzie is still alive, that is what you wanted isn't it? For her to be safe and alive, well she is as I am guessing she is with the others. Just please lower the dagger, you wouldn't want to stab Jones, or else you would have to replace his heart either with your own or find someone who would be willing." Seeing he wasn't going to move she quickly added: "I know I am pirate, a thing to your people, not a person or have feelings but I know how it feels to lose someone. I lost two maybe three or even four people I love, I thought they were going to be there for me forever, but that is the curse of life I guess, it made a deal with death, to make those alive to believe but then death comes along and takes it all away. I learnt that from a young age, but you know that Guv, you looked after me and treated me like your own, I guess I haven't shown how grateful I am for that, but I can't lose you either. You are a father figure to me, you were always there when I needed a shoulder to cry on, was there when I needed help and you stopped me from killing myself. That sir is the greatest thing in life to do, to feel, and you need a medal, but can you please first low the dagger and walk away."

Danielle stood just off the side, her eyes were fixed on Swann, she felt everyone's on her but she didn't care. She was worried about the old man, and she saw tears in his eyes, he was confused, scared and worried, he didn't know what to do.

"Governor!" Norrington said trying to gain Swann's attention, he still trained his gun at Jones. "There is still hope." He added as Swann stared at him. "Please." Seeing the plead in his eyes Swann slowly handed him the dagger

"Our association has ended." Swann added plainly, though Danielle could hear anger in his words as he said to Beckett before leaving.

"You're dismissed, Captain." Beckett ordered Jones with gritted teeth. Danielle watched as Jones walked out, an evil smile she saw on his face. "Thank you, Admiral." Beckett added staring at Norrington which made Danielle stare at him confused, but quickly anger replaced it. The traitor. She need words with the man, but now was not the time. He need to pay on his actions and she needed to let her anger out.

Danielle watched as Norrington scoffed, hid his gun and walked towards the door, but was stopped as Beckett held out his hand for the dagger, which he gave him and quickly left.

"He's a sly one, Jones." Mercer informing his boss into the silence. "Who's going to kill him? If they know they be killing?"

Danielle stared at the two men, it was her time to smirk. She knew the monster hadn't planned to kill Jones only if necessarily. He needed the captain alive, or else his plan be ruined. She took the time to walk back to the door.

"I can order Admiral Norrington's silence. He'll obey; it is what he does." Beckett replied.

"And the Governor?" Mercer asked.

"Yes. Well, every man should have a secret..." He walked the short distance to the chest and while slowly closing the lid he added: "he carries to his grave."

Danielle stopped dead, hearing the words. They were going to kill Swann, something she couldn't let happen. He meant something more to her than the rest of them except Lizzie. She weren't there, it was Danielle's job to keep him alive but how?

"Isn't that right, Miss Turner?" She heard Beckett ask.

"I...I guess so." She replied. "Depends really."

"On what?"

"Your the one who hasn't thought your own plan through. You saw no doubt or mistake in it, but people like the Guv aren't stupid. You really think Jones will keep acting like your puppet? And of Norrington well I don't know, I don't care." Danielle replied. She turned around and faced the two men. "No one is like Mercer, he is the only who will be always by your side. Everyone comes and goes, you win some and you lose some, that is was Heartfield used to say; he was right, I see that now."

uh oh the monster is back in Danielle's life which means on thing; trouble!
