Many people on Aurum believed the house to be haunted, it was due to many things, piratical suspicion, and the dilapidated look but mostly it was due to the weird stillness and the sobs that seemed to escape from it sometimes. No-one was brave enough to check inside to see if anyone lived in there. It was probably quite a pretty little house once, but the ivy that had crept up it and the broken grey windows masked this and now it looked mysterious. The sobbing was back again and people made wide detours when they walked past it, trying to get as far away from it as possible.

All except for a group of 12 year olds who stood on the other end of the street staring at it "Some say," a boy was saying "That a ghost lives there, a female, who went crazy when her husband died. She hates all men, because all she wants is James, that's her husband's name" the boys voice was quiet and mysterious and everyone around him listened, enchanted by this tale. "But others say that the same women is looking for a new husband"

An eerie silence fell over them, broken only by the crying that was emitting form the house "I heard," a girl piped up, she looked so much like the boy that it was clear they were brother and sister "That her husband was murdered there, by a man who was furiously in love with her. When he realised what he did he killed himself"

The boy snorted "That's a stupid thing to do Louetta" he paused "Must be true then" he added causing everyone to laugh, it was clear he was the ring leader of this gang.

"What about the woman, how did she die?" a small girl piped up, her messy golden curl glinting in the sun "Did she kill herself too?"

Louetta and her brother nodded dramatically "Yes, anyone who has lived in there since has met the same fate, well; they never came out the same anyway"

A loud creaking noise emitted from the house and the gang ran away, knocking down a small boy on their way, they heard his mother yelling after them and they ran all the more faster, the rumours they had heard about her were pretty extreme to say the least.

Inside the house a lone figure sat undisturbed by what had happened, her head was on her knees, her feet were flat on the floor and her arms were wrapped around her legs as she sat and cried, her pitch black hair covering her like a veil. She felt her heart tearing as she cried, and she tried to think of her daughter to cheer her up but all she could do was dwell on the man she loved. It has been so long since she saw him last, properly at least. She had been seeing him in dreams a lot now, and they felt so real. She would often wake up in the middle of the night expecting to see him; it was like a stab in the heart that he was not there. She supposed it was the dreams that had brought on the tears, rather than being a comfort to her they reinforced the fact that she would never see him again.

She let her hand drop and touched a floor board near her "My son" she said "I still miss you"

She did not look up when she head some soft footsteps walking up to her "Kath" a voice said "I thought I'd find you here"

Katherine looked and smiled tearfully at her friend "Hi Elizabeth" she dried her eyes "Where the troublesome twosome?" she asked smiling at the nickname they had for their children

"In the next room" Elizabeth sat next to her friend, Katherine put her head on Elizabeth's shoulder and let out a long sigh. "Those stupid children almost trampled Liam again"

Katherine scowled "What did you do?" she asked

"I just yelled at them, they seemed afraid of me anyway" she grinned "They think I'm married to Davey Jones"

Katherine let out a shaky laugh and checked for anymore tears. "The dreams, they are so real" she said quietly.

Elizabeth nodded "I know, sometimes they don't help at all. Other times, you wish you could sleep all the time so you could always be with them" she turned her head towards the door "But then you would have to make a sacrifice there again, i would always see Will, but might never see Liam" At this Liam and Rosalind ran in smiling, Rosalind beamed at her mother, her three year old face lighting up before she ran up and hugged Katherine with all her might. Elizabeth grinned "She's missed you today" she commented her arm loosely wrapped around Liam who was sitting next to her. "You ready?" Elizabeth asked her stomach rumbling; she wanted to get home now and have some food.

Katherine nodded and stood up and put her daughter on her hip, Elizabeth stood up next to her, Liam by her side, his small hand clutched in hers. "Believe me" she said to Katherine as they were walking "If those children hurt Liam again, they really will regret it. Especially when" she paused and felt it was wise not say what she was going to say Especially when Will returns the reason being that Katherine's love was never coming back "Especially when they do not even say sorry"

"I feel the same, they have no consideration at all" suddenly without warning she gave an inelegant snort of laughter, Elizabeth gave her an inquisitive look "Sorry but we sound like our parents don't we?" she made her voice go a few tones higher "Kids today, they have it easy"

Elizabeth laughed, Liam, not really knowing what was going on laughed too, his big brown eyes gazing up at his mother adoringly, Elizabeth grinned back at him and she felt her mind drift to their conversation earlier that day.

Liam sat on the floor whilst Elizabeth sat at her writing desk, writing yet another letter to Will. She was uncertain whether the first one actually arrived, but her dreams since then felt more real. She finally finished and bent down and lifted Liam up and handed Liam the pen. He smiled up at her and then slowly began to write his name, Elizabeth instructing him. She did not really need to, Liam had been well taught by both her and Katherine but she wanted it to be perfect. When Liam finished she was left with an untidy, but perfectly readable signature, looking at it she felt a surge of pride, bringing her back to when Liam first started to walk, or his first words. Kissing her son on the cheek she put him back down and called Rosalind over, inviting her to write her name too.

As Rosalind was writing Liam watched them smiling "Mummy" he said angelically

"Yes sweetie"

"I saw Daddy last night" she almost dropped Rosalind in shock.

"What was that?" she asked while checking too see if Rosalind was alright. Liam did not seem to answer for a while, Elizabeth turned her attention to Rosalind when she finally finished writing her name she hopped off and sat next to Liam. "Liam?"

"He took me to a park, and I climbed a big tree!" he said enthusiastically "And then he took me on a horsy. Then I woke up"

Elizabeth smiled "So it was a dream, what did Daddy look like?" she asked, hoping that Liam did not describe Jack, who had visited them recently.

Liam smiled "He had brown hair, brown eyes and hair here and here" he said gesturing above his lip and his chin "And he was very tall and strong" he paused "When will Daddy come home?"

Elizabeth did not answer, she had not yet told Liam the last part of the story, why Will was not there, it was complicated, all she had told Liam was that he had a very important job, due to this Liam used to think his father was a King. "I'll tell you when your older Liam"

"I am old, I am three!"

In Elizabeth's pocket was her letter to Will. She was to throw it out to sea again soon

Dearest Will

The past year has been one of the easier ones of late; Liam is growing up so fast I can barely keep up. I am teaching him how to write when I am not working. Both he and Rosalind have written their names at the bottom.

Business is going well, Katherine and I are making a lot of money now, and we are planning to move in to a slightly bigger house soon.

Although things are getting easier for me I fear for dear Katherine. She is truly missing her ex husband; Edward Baylor. He sounds so much like you Will. I am grateful that we have hope, we will be together again soon, I will wait for you, no matter what. Maybe that's why Katherine and I get along so well, we have a lot of common ground

Katherine has been so strong for me. I just wish I could do something for her, is there anyway Tia Dalma could bring back Edward? I just there was someway your curse could be broken now, I miss you, like I always do when your not around.

But no matter what, no matter how much time goes by I will never stop loving you, it can only grow stronger and deeper. Liam's dreamt of you, when you return he will recognize you. When we are back together nothing can stop it or hurt it, it will have survived the true test and nothing will take that away from us.

From Your Elizabeth

P.S I love you

"Kath?" Elizabeth said tentivly

"Yes" she adjusted her grip on Rosalind and eventually put her down to walk next to Liam, who promptly let go of his mothers hand and ran ahead with Rosalind, the two women looked at their children amused for a while before carrying on their conversation

"Could you look after Liam and Rosalind tonight, please? I just need to be alone" it was hard to say, but it felt right that she would deliver this one by herself "I don't know why"

Katherine laughed "Sure, I'll be entertained anyway with these two causing havoc" their was a strong note of fondness in her voice which caused Elizabeth to smile after them.

"The past few years have gone by so quickly" Elizabeth said lightly "They haven't exactly been the easiest, nor the best, but I don't know, I would miss them if they were taken away from me. I'm glad your here Kath, I never really had a friend before, apart from Will and Estrella"

Katherine smiled "I know what you mean, everybody in that society all seemed obsessed with money and power, everything they did was to heighten their station. I prefer this life, even if there are fewer luxuries"

An hour later Elizabeth sat alone on the beach in the little under dress she had worn long ago when she got pregnant with Liam, it still fit her, and she touched it gently.

A bottle was once again in her hand and the letter was shoved inside, she smiled slightly, nothing but the strongest love for Will and Liam could have kept her going all this time, and she was not even half way yet. It had seemed an age ago when she kissed Will goodbye, for what she feared was the last time, she remembered closing her eyes and touching his face as if trying to remember every detail.

"Its been hard Will, for both of us; you not being here, but the past year has gone so fast, I think, well I hope that the others will go even faster. But that does not mean I will stop missing you or loving you. I've kept all the letters you've sent me, and I've been writing about us everyday, I hope you will keep all of mine there are more to come, much more. I love you Will, and nothing will ever change that" she threw the bottle into the ocean with all her might and watched it until it disappeared.

"its hard isn't it, being away from the one you love" Elizabeth turned at the voice, she immediately recognized those eyes, that nose, the whole face in general, she felt tears well up and her lip quiver as she looked at the figure sitting beside her, elegantly dressed in a simple dress, which brought out the persons beauty.

"Mum" Elizabeth breathed.

"Don't cry, my brave, brave girl. I have never been so proud of you; raising your beautiful son, staying faithful to your husband and still remaining the strong feisty girl that I love" she reached out and touched Elizabeth's face "Never stop being you"

"I miss you" Elizabeth said sadly

"I miss you too, but I am always with you" there were tears in her mothers eyes as she spoke "never give up, I do not want my grandson to lose his mother, you know how hard that is"

Will Turner had kept his eyes on the sea a lot more since Elizabeth's first letter came, and now here he was again looking for it, his father called it fruitless, it was just a one off; Calypso would not allow it again. Calypso does not control what passes though, he had replied, I do, and I let everything past.

Bootstrap did not reply to that and had stopped hassling Will now, he did not want his son to lose hope. Bill hated the days when Will was depressed when he would barely sleep or talk, he would just sit in his cabinet running the pink handkerchief through his fingers thinking on his wife and child, more increasingly he'd get out a small piece of paper in which it had on Elizabeth's name and Liam's small handprint. Bill sighed and walked over to Edward who was also gazing out to nowhere.

"Talk to the captain," Bill said "He's more likely to listen to you"

Edward looked slowly over to the old man and raised an eyebrow "The captain" he said "misses his wife, I can not replace her, no-one can" he sighed slightly "But deep down he knows that his beloved will wait for him. There is no hope for me, mine does not know I could return"

Bill sighed again "It's been nearly 4 years since he left her on that island. I had hoped some of the pain would have left him"

Edward shook his head "When you truly love someone you never stop missing them, even though you know that you will see them again soon" with this he walked away, and headed towards Will "Captain" he said formally

Will's gaze remained on the sea "What is it Mr. Baylor" he asked

"Nothing" Edward turned to go but he felt a hand stop him

"I'm sorry I have been of lousy company recently Edward, you understand, right" Wills dark eyes looked huge and desperate

"Of course I do, sometimes sir, when you stop looking for something; that's when you find it"

Will smiled in spite of himself "Did Jack Sparrow tell you that?" he asked laughing and covering his eyes "Okay letter I do not want to find you, stay hidden!"

Edward smiled, glad that Will had cheered up slightly, even if it meant a gently mockery of him. Will opened his eyes and looked back at the sea, this time gazing at his reflection "I remember" he said "When I was young, Elizabeth and I were looking at our reflections in the sea; this was when we first met, and I thought, if I can not have Elizabeth I would have her water double" he laughed slightly "I was so infatuated with her, you know, I would sneak down to where her house was in the hope that I would catch a glance of he as she went out to her numerous social events." he smiled to himself "She always seemed to see me, it was like she had a sixth sense for when I was near" he shook his had fondly "I loved how she used to ignore her fathers pleas for her to keep up propriety, she could silence him with a look, and still seem the perfect lady." His brow wrinkled slightly as he noticed something in the water "Mister Turner" he called over to his father "Cast a net" the object was brought up and Will, with shaking hands, broke open the bottle, taking out the letter inside.

He recognized the handwriting at once and retreated to the nearest place where he could sit down and read it aided by the brilliant light of the moon and stars. The name Edward Baylor screamed out at him, as did the name Katherine, it was not a coincidence, Will knew that, Edward talked about Katherine, as did Elizabeth in a previous letter, this was Edwards Katherine, the one Edward had pined for; Will read the letter a few times over before making a decision, there were too many parallels for it to be just a coincidence.

He folded the letter up and called Edward over.

"Mr. Baylor, when I let you aboard my vessel, it was under the condition that you would serve as long as I saw fit, was it not" Edward nodded "And that when the time came I would release you back into the mortal world, true" Edward nodded again confused, and slightly worried "You agreed to all of these didn't you?"

"Yes sir but-"

"Edward," Will sounded desperate "You must do this, you have agreed to this, you have done your years of servitude for me; you are free"

"But, Sir"

"I am the captain of this forsaken ship" Will said harshly, then regretted it "When you leave you will deliver a letter to Elizabeth Turner for me, by hand, if that is understood. If my wife answers be sure to introduce yourself as Edward Baylor"

"What if it is someone else sir"

Will smiled "I am taking that you agree to leave my ship"

"Aye" Edward said sadly

"Then you will know what to do. You will leave tomorrow, once I have finished my letter to Elizabeth. It has been an honour to have you onboard Edward; I will truly miss you"
