Well that's pretty much all I have to say right now. I can't wait for your reviews!!

Elizabeth gaped at him. You see she had come here with Will in search of Jack, but that had totally slipped her mind with the recent events that have occurred, and now…there he was. She swallowed, and looked him over for a second…making sure it really was him and not her mind playing a trick on her. He raised an eyebrow at her weird behavior, but otherwise remained quite silent for a change.

"Jack…I am so sorry. I never should have done that…" Elizabeth finally managed to choke out. Only a few months ago he had gone down with his ship, The Black Pearl, when the Kraken had attacked. Although he really did not have much of a choice.

Elizabeth had chained him to the Pearl, in hopes of keeping everyone else alive. She felt terrible for doing it to him, but if she didn't everyone would have been killed.

They all had thought him to be dead, but they had received a tip of from someone that he was still alive. How he ended up here, Elizabeth had no idea.

Jack's kohl lined eyes narrowed ever so slightly, "It's too late now…it's over and done with now, love." He said sighing, but his voice was a bit hard, he looking in to her eyes. She was giving him such a look that would melt most men in seconds.

Jack rolled his eyes, "All right, but you owe me." He growled, forgiving her. He did not know why he was being so kind to her. She certainly did not deserve it after what she did to him.

Elizabeth smiled a little, still a bit uncertain. But she was happy that he was not that mad, which surprised her a bit. She had every intention of making up for it, but she had no idea how.

Elizabeth looked him over yet again, "You look bloody awful…" she muttered. He did, his clothes were torn in various places and he had several scars, one particularly bad one going across his face. Also he had dried blood on his clothes and looked very thin.

Elizabeth's expression turned to concern, and her eyes widened a little, as she saw his condition.

Jack scowled, wishing she did not notice. "I'm fine love." He said gruffly. Really, what did she expect; he had been through hell the past few months. First battling the Kraken and then being marooned on this island for God knows how long. He looked at her, "You look jest as bad." He smirked.

Elizabeth nodded bitterly. She too was not looking her best.

She had been out at sea since the day the Kraken took the Pearl and it was showing.

Her clothes hung limp on her thin shoulders, indicating that she was not the only one who has lost a lot of weight. Her hair was messy under her hat and her clothes were not in the best of conditions either.

She sighed, looking around. "Is there any food on this damn island?" she asked waving her hand. Jack smirked slightly, noting that she had changed a lot.

"Trying to change the topic, are we?." He asked with a smirk, she scowled. He sighed, "There is not much…" he muttered and disappeared in to the woods again.

Elizabeth stared after him…was she supposed to follow? She shrugged and ran in to the forest after him.

Elizabeth emerged in a small clearing and saw Jack already eating. He was sitting next to a stout tree, which Elizabeth immediately recognized as a banana tree.

She walked over to it and examined it for a minute, before plucking a ripe banana off one of the tree's limbs. Elizabeth sat down also and began to eat. "So…" she said between bits, "How exactly did you get to this island?" she asked a little timidly, not too sure of how his reaction would be, talking about this subject.

Jack sighed finishing his banana and tossing the peal aside. He gave no sign of annoyance or any other emotion.

He dove immediately in to his story. "Well as ye already know…" he said throwing Elizabeth a glance, she looked down still feeling pretty bad about what happened, "I was chained to me ship. I manage 't get free, but the bloody beastie was already pra'tly all the way on the Pearl."

" There was no way I woulda been able to get away in time…So I had no choice but 't fight 'em. Som' how I manage 't get away and climb aboard a plank that had broken off the Pearl before I 'ad passed out." He paused, Elizabeth was intently studding her banana, guilt clearly readable on her face.

"Don't know how long I was adrift at sea…" he said slowly, "I was passed out most of the time. Then I woke one morn' an found meself washing up on this beach…more south of here where the cliffs are…" he said a slightly glint in his eyes of remembrance.

"Ye see…the tide was rippin' in, draggin' me right along with it. I smacked headlong in 't a rock." He said rubbing a scar on his head. "Nasty little bugger, left me a lump on me head for a week." He muttered. "And…" he sighed, "I've been here since."

"Well besides sea turtles…" Elizabeth said smiling at Jack, "Any idea on how to get off this bloody island?" she inquired. Jack was not showing any sign of being mad, so her guilt was slowly starting to slip away and would soon be forgotten.

They were now out of the jungle, and were walking on the rocky beach.

Jack laughed, "Not a single one, love." He sighed. He had been here for at least a month, bored out of his mind and all alone. Of course that question had gone through his mind several times, but he had no answer for it yet.

The only idea he had come up with was to make a raft, but that would be very difficult, especially since it would have to be big enough for the both of them.

Elizabeth nodded, but did not answer. She gazed out at the horizon; the water was illuminated from the light of the full moon. The waves were gently lapping the rocky shore. She sighed, wondering where Will was now…and if he was all right.

'I need some rum…' Jack thought, but did not voice out loud for fear of receiving a slap across the face. He had gone, what seemed like an eternity to him, without rum.

'Must be a record…' he mused. They walked on in silence for quite some time; the moon was slowly beginning to descend in the sky.

Jack stopped when he noticed Elizabeth was no longer along side of him. He turned and saw her standing a few feet back, the disappearing moon throwing a few last rays of light on her, illuminating her pale face.

Jack walked back toward her, "What is it love?" he asked, wondering what was wrong. She shook her head…unable to speak. Finally she raised a trembling finger and pointed at something.

Jack turned slowly to see what she was looking at, his dark eyes slightly narrowed. There, almost a mile away, was the outline of a ship that had come ashore and was beached.

"It's….The Pearl." Elizabeth managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper.
