Very sorry about the delay of this chapter. I want to thank the English 10 gateway for this chapter, without it I wouldn't have spent two hours in study hall writing this.

Norrington's POVBack in Port Royal, Norrington was at his desk in his office waiting for Lieutenant Gillette to arrive. Finally he heard a knock at the door and Gillette walked in.
"Ah, Lieutenant," Norrington said, "tell me. You were to catch Sparrow, right? Now, did you happen to bring him aboard the Dauntless and I just didn't see him? Did you throw him in jail and I just wasn't notified, hmm? Did you schedule his hanging and I missed the memo? Or was he shot from the moment you spotted him and I just didn't hear?"
For the past two days, Gillette had felt like he had forgotten something. Now, he finally remembered what it is.
"No, Commodore," Gillette said quietly. "None of that's been done."
"I thought not. Get the men ready. We're going after Sparrow."
"But, sir, we don't know where he is."
"We know that he'll be passing Port Royal in two days time. We'll go ahead and head him off once he passes here. We'll stop him before he reaches his destination."
oOoOoOoOoOoOo
Erin's POVErin was in the Turners' house staring out the window as they took their afternoon tea.
"Hey, Erin, are you with us?" Will asked as he waved a hand in front of her face. She continued to stare out the window. "Fine be mad at me. It was all for your own good."
Elizabeth patted Will's arm. "Dear, I don't think that's what's wrong."
"Well then, what is it?"
Elizabeth sighed as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I think it's quite a few things actually. For one, she probably enjoyed her freedom, without you telling her what to do, no offense," She added quickly. Will nodded as Elizabeth continued. "She also had a hangover for the first time, was knocked out, and woke up on a new ship. But I think it's mostly the fact that she feels empty."
"What do you mean?"
"Will, when was the last time you saw Erin truly happy?"
Will thought a moment. "When she and Jack walked down the aisle at our wedding," he said slowly.
Elizabeth sighed. "Yes and haven't you also noticed that the times Erin is truly happy involve Jack?"
Realization suddenly showed on Will's face. "So, she was probably happy with Jack. And we took her away from him. You don't think she…does she love him?"
"It would seem so. The way Erin is now is how I would be if I was taken away from you."
"But if she loves him, do you think Jack loves her back?"
"Will, it's Jack. There's no telling."
Will turned back to Erin. "I'm sorry. I'll try to bring you back to him." Then, Erin finally showed some sign of life. She raised one slender arm and pointed out the window.
Will and Elizabeth turned to see what she was pointing at. It wasn't hard to spot. Many naval officers were walking around town and appeared to be preparing for something. Will got up and walked out of the house. As he spotted a new recruit will walked over to speak with him.
"Hey, what's going on?" Will asked the man.
"I'm sorry but that's classified information, nothing a civilian can be told." The new recruit looked around to see if there were any officers near him. "But it's my first time going out and I'm real excited so I'll tell you.
"Commodore Norrington had ordered Lieutenant Gillette to capture Jack Sparrow. The Lieutenant failed so now the Commodore wants to go out and head Sparrow off as he passes Port Royal. But pretend you didn't hear any of that," he said before quickly walking off.
Will ran back in the house and shut the door.
"What's going on?" Elizabeth asked as she ran to Will.
"Jack's in trouble," he said. Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. "When Norrington went to get Erin, he planned on capturing Jack. He failed, but now he's going after him as he passes Port Royal."
"We have to warn him some how," Elizabeth said. Suddenly they heard a sob and turned to see tears streaming down Erin's face.
"I-It's all my f-fault!" Erin wailed as Elizabeth went and hugged her comfortingly.
"Shhhh, no, not your fault."
Will walked over. "We need to think of some way to help.
"I want to help," Erin said, teary eyed.
Will frowned as he pointed at her. "You haven't eaten in days. I'm afraid you'd be too weak."
Erin grabbed Will's wrist angrily. "Just because I haven't eaten doesn't make me any weaker than I usually am," she said angrily as Will winced under Erin's grip.
"Okay no argument there," Will said rubbing his wrist as Erin walked to the kitchen. He continued once she came back with a sandwich "Now let's come up with a plan."
If you saw World's End, you know that my story completely conflicts it. Sorry. I have the next two chapters written up but after that, updates may come slower as I lost inspiration.
Please review as they keep me going and give me feedback on what y'all think.
