Fearless

My gaze traveled from Elizabeth to Will who were just staring at each other as if in a trance.

"Elizabeth." Will whispered softly as they continued to look at each other, she gave a small smile.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it?" Will gave a small smile and even chuckled and replied.

"Too long, you look good." You know he wasn't mad at her like he had been mad at me when we first talked. I turned around to look at Jack who was looking anywhere except at me. The crew stood around looking at us in interest. I turned back to Will and Elizabeth they walked closer to each other and gave each other a hug, and sad to say it wasn't a friendly hug. I cleared my throat and they separated and looked at me. I plastered a smile on my face as I stepped forward.

"Elizabeth Swann it's a pleasure to meet you." I said holding out my hand not breaking eye contact with her. She smiled and took my hand and shook it.

"I go by Turner, and it is nice to meet you in person. I presume you are Emily James?" She asked staring back at me. I let go of her hand and ran a hand through my hair nervously.

"Well actually it's uh Turner, Emily Turner." I said and an awkward silence followed that. Luckily Jack broke it by walking over and said.

"Well what are we all standing around for? Let's go down to my cabin and talk." He said looking between us. Will motioned for Elizabeth to go first and she smiled at him. Will turned to me and made the same motion, I took a step forward when Jack grabbed my arm pulling me back.

"William I hope you don't mind if I take one of your wife's to talk do you?" Jack said still holding my arm. Will looked at me questioningly and I just shrugged and said.

"Go." I said with a bit of a harsh tone, I could see by Will's eyes that he had picked up on it. He looked at me another moment before nodding and started walking to Jack's cabin. Once he was out of eye sight I jerked out of Jack's grasp and turned around and glared at him.

"Now darling I know you may be mad." My glare didn't falter as I spat the words at him.

"I am beyond mad, I am furious." I spat at him as he inwardly cringed. He looked around at the crew who was still watching. He grabbed my arm and started dragging me to the back of the ship. Once at the back he let go and I said.

"How could you?"

"What?" He asked genuinely confused. I rolled my eyes and glared at him.

"Of all the dead pirates in the world you had to bring back Will's ex-wife?"

"Well technically she is still married to him." He said weakly as I started pacing.

"Oh that makes this so much better." In my anger I brought my fist down on the railing, I hissed in pain as it surged throughout my hand and to my body. I turned back to him and asked.

"Why her Jack? Why?" I asked trying to conceal my anger.

"Because she is a fine pirate, and a friend of mine."

"And Will's wife." I spat and he nodded.

"You are unbelievable and no it is not a compliment." I said as he started smiling.

"You raise me form the dead and then her? You know how messed up that is?" I all but yelled at Jack.

"I know this may seem bad, but it isn't." I looked at him and motioned for him to continue.

"I mean yeah sure Elizabeth is here, she is Will's first love, and for a long time his only love. He loved her since he first saw her when he was a wee lad, and sure they had loved each other. He risked his life to save her, even to the point of sacrificing himself for Barbossa. Sure he came after me to get my compass to free her from the gallows; sure he did everything in his power to free me from world's end because he thought that she loved me, and really who wouldn't fall in love with me?" He put a hand to his chin and stroke a pose, seeing me still glaring he continued.

"Sure when their son died and she turned him away he was heartbroken and distraught, but that doesn't mean anything. Feeling better?" He asked hopefully as I nodded my head no and said.

"No I feel worse because what you said is true, she is his first love, maybe his only love." Jack protested.

"You are wrong love, he loves you I am positive of that."

"Maybe." I said turning back to the ocean. He sighed and walked up to me he stood next to me also looking at the dark waters.

"You are quite stubborn you know that right?" I gave a smirk and he continued.

"He does love you; he wouldn't have married you if he didn't."

"Maybe he just didn't want be alone and have to put up with you."

"I resent that, I am great company. And besides before tonight have you ever questioned his love." I shook my head no.

"See you're just scared now that Elizabeth is in the mix, but you don't have to worry. Now let's go to my cabin and talk, savvy?" I gave a small smile and nodded, Jack could almost always make me feel better. We walked silently to his cabin, just right outside his door I hesitated and I wanted to turn around into Jack. He turned me around and said.

"Not getting away that easily love." And with that he pushed me forward, I glared at him as I opened the door and stepped into the cabin. Will and Elizabeth who were by the map table looked up at us as Jack came in and shut the door. He again pushed me forward and I walked over to the map table.

"What were you two talking about?" Will asked quietly as I came to stand by him.

"Nothing of importance." I said coldly as I looked down at the maps. I felt Will's gaze on me but I refused to look up. Jack walked over and said.

"Well isn't this great all four of us here together, I never thought I would see this day." We all glared at him as he smirked.

"Can we just get to business?" Will asked slightly annoyed. Jack smiled and nodded.

"Of course whelp, now I call you all here, from the dead and the living for a mission."

"What do you want Jack?" I asked looking up at him. He smiled at me as I gave a smile back. I could see from the corner of my eyes that Will was looking at me.

"There's this treasure, it's called the stone of knowledge, it can tell you anything that you want to know, from the past, present and the future, and best of all it will know where even more treasures are." He said happily as I rolled my eyes, that man needs a new hobby.

"Ok so where is it?" Elizabeth asked. Jack's smiled faltered a little but he recovered it.

"Well here's the thing, its location is written on this map, but the map was been but up into six pieces, I have the first one and we are going to go find all the other pieces and then get the treasure."

"What does the first one say?" Will asked curiously. Jack grabbed it from his pocket; it was a worn piece of paper yellow with age.

"It's a riddle, though it doesn't rhyme. It says where you pick a fight with a man just because he looks at you funny. Where the women wear white masks, and the dragon is praised, you will find the next riddle in a statue of the highest dragon."

"That's odd, women wear white masks?" Elizabeth said thinking it over.

"It's an Asian country, it has to be." I said looking at Jack as he nodded.

"Whoever they are the praise dragons." Will said and I rolled my eyes and said.

"That's why I said an Asian country." Will just rolled his eyes in response.

"Where's a place where that's so cruel they will pick a fight with you because you look odd?" Jack asked.

"Where's a place that's Asian?" Elizabeth asked.

"Where woman wear white masks?" I said.

"Where they praise dragons?" Will asked, we all looked at each other and at the same time said.

"Singapore." Jack smiled.

"I love Singapore; I heard they're having a huge celebration we'll get there in time for that." He said thinking of Singapore.

"When will we set sail?" Elizabeth asked, knocking Jack out of his trance.

"Now." With that he walked to the door and then out, we followed behind him, in another awkward silence. Finally getting tired of it I said.

"I'm going ahead." I walked ahead of them without waiting for an answer; I soon made it to the deck and was surprise to hear a voice.

"If it isn't Emily Turner." I turned around and smirked at Annamaria.

"Yes it is Annamaria." We laughed and I walked over and gave her a hug.

"How are you?" I asked as we pulled away.

"Good and you." Just then Will and Elizabeth walked by.

"I've been better." I said nodding my head towards them, she looked over and nodded.

"I told Jack raising for would be a bad idea, but you know Jack." I nodded.

"Well she is a good pirate, and she will help us with this mission." I said looking over at her as she talked to Will and Jack.

"What about you and Will?" I sighed.

"What's there to say?"

"You're married to each other."

"Yeah and she still is married to Will as well." I sat down on a crate as Annamaria sat down next to me.

"This is going to be a long adventure." I said after several moments of silence. We talked for awhile before I went back to the Dutchman; Will was still on the Pearl as I swung over to the deck. Everyone looked at me and I finally snapped.

"What?" I snapped.

"We're just wondering where we are going." Billy said looking at me, I sighed.

"Singapore." Everyone cheered but I cut them off.

"Not for pleasure, for business, we are on another adventure with Jack be prepared for anything and everything." I said before walking to my cabin. I walked in the captain's cabin and collapsed onto the nearest couch, which was where Star was taking a bath. She started sniffing me as I said.

"Star you are so lucky that you are a cat, your life is so not complicated." I said as I picked her up and hugged her to my chest as she purred. The door opened and I didn't have to look up to know it was Will. I didn't look up at him as well but I felt his eyes on me. I just kept petting Star.

"Need something?" I asked after several minutes of silence. I felt him take a seat on the couch that I was lying on and I sat up as Star jumped down to the ground.

"We need to talk." I rolled my eyes.

"We always need to talk." I said in a bored tone. He glared at me and I only shrugged innocently.

"Look I know this may seem bad that Elizabeth is here." I sighed but motioned for him to continue.

"But I want you to know that I married to you, and I love you."

"You're still married to her." I said looking at him intently.

"I may be but that doesn't mean I will be putting our marriage in jeopardy."

"How poetic." I muttered under my breath. He ran a hand through his brown hair and grabbed my arms and pulled me closer to him.

"I don't know what to do to make you believe me."

"Tell me you don't love her anymore, tell me that you don't think about her, tell me that she still doesn't have your heart." I pleaded with him as put my arms around his neck as I looked at him. He sighed and looked down.

"I can't." I untangled myself from him and stood up.

"Well then there is nothing else to say."
