At last the day was here, the day when I can finally hold Jack in my arms. Elizabeth hugged that thought to herself. They were just a few moments away from freeing Jack. Will he ever forgive me? She hoped so and hoped that once he was there she could shed her old life for a new one. Will doesn't seem to be as happy as I am that we're close to bringing Jack back. He'll talk to Gibbs and the rest of the crew, but barely says a word to me. Maybe he suspects what I've finally figured out when I finally fulfilled my curiosity with a kiss.

"We're almost there, just a few more moments," said Will to her in passing.

When he walked past her his head wasn't held as high as it once was, proud of the fact that the governor's daughter had deemed him worthy enough to accept his proposal of marriage.

Am I ever to escape this torment? Jack rested his weary head against the back of his "locker" thinking when he got out this would be a wonderful story to tell his Elizabeth. If memory served him right when he got out he'd take Elizabeth back to their island and finish what Elizabeth started on the deck of the Black Pearl.

Bloody hell! When will this be over! Just before he could slam his hand against the walls of his prison in frustration, it swung open and his eyes squinted at the light he was unused to seeing. Figures materialized in front of him: Gibbs, Ragetti, Pintel, Will, and Elizabeth.

"Hello, Capn. We best be getinn' a move on so we can catch the tide," said Gibbs moving to help Jack out and guide him to the others awaiting his arrival.

Oh goodness he looks like he's been through hell, but I still can't help wanting his arms around me and his lips caressing every inch of my skin! Oh here he comes.

There's Elizabeth looking delectable and ripe for the taking just aching to indulge in some strenuous mattress activity. He couldn't wait hoping she didn't notice him licking his lips in anticipation, but that could wait for now. Well maybe just a little kiss for a warm-up and a reminder to the whelp of what he'd be losing.

"Hello Jack, welcome back to the land of the living," said Elizabeth her voice getting softer as he got closer.

"It's good to be back luv and if memory serves we left off right about…" he grabbed her around the waist and set his lips upon hers, this time he was doing the seducing.

What is he doing? Elizabeth's mind screamed, but it gradually faded away as she let her arms roam Jack's body, pulling him closer, opening her lips to his plundering. Her lips melted like sugar beneath his and she tasted the last drink he ever had, rum, and savored it. Too soon someone coughed and reality broke through. This was no childhood dream and for once she would be able to live it to the fullest.
