Will awoke to find himself still at Jack's table. He had fallen asleep lying on the letter. He picked the letter up, folded it and put it in his shirt. He heard the crew scurrying around and decided to head up to the deck.
"Ah, William, get some rest finally," Jack questioned him as he approached him.
"Yes Jack, thank you for the use of your cabin."
"Mr. Gibbs, drop anchor and prepare a boat. William and I have to go see Tia. We won't be long so be ready to leave as soon as we return. William, ready?"
Will followed Jack onto the boat. He sat down and immediately started rowing. "We've no time to waste Jack, her time is running out." Jack nodded his head.
Tia looked at her visitor, "Ye can leave, I know what to do."
"Yes, but Mami Utai warned me to stay and wait. I be leaving soon enough wit what I came for." Abrafro reminded her. "When 'e gets 'ere, I be waiting in da back."
Tia went about her business preparing the potion she knew Will would be seeking. Just as she finished it, she heard her door opening.
"Aw Jack, you've returned and ye brought William Turner."
"You left me a note Tia. Don't be surprised to see me." Will said with anger in his voice.
"I only done what me had to."
"Tia darling, why bring young William here, why didn't you send the cure to him?" Jack said losing his patience.
"William, ye must stay 'ere. Jack will take the potion back for your love."
"What? I'm taking it back for Elizabeth!"
"Ye MUST stay here! If ye do not, she will be poisoned again."
"Tia darling, what are you talking about," Jack questioned her with anger.
"If the boy leaves, she is in danger again."
"Jack, I can not take a chance on Elizabeth and we can not waste time arguing. She doesn't have time. I will stay here and after Elizabeth is cured come back for me. Is that acceptable Tia?"
"Yes, I agree." Tia said nodding her head.
Tia handed Jack the vile and Jack started to turn his back to leave.
"Wait Jack." Will walked over to Tia's table and pulled out his letter to Elizabeth. He quickly added a few lines, folded it up and handed it to Jack. "Give this to Elizabeth and give her my love."
Jack opened the door and looked back to Will and smiled, "Chin up whelp, we'll be back sooner than you know." Will just nodded his head and simply replied "Hurry Jack, just hurry."
Will walked to the door and watched Jack until he was out of sight. He finally turned back and walked towards Tia.
"Why is it Tia that I had to stay here with you?"
"Let me answer that Tia." Abrafro replied as he dropped his hood and smiled at Will.
"Who are you?"
"I am goin' take ye ta ye destiny. And ye be leavin wit me now."
"I'm not going any where with you." Will started to draw his sword. Abrafro simply laughed and dropped a small vile on the floor. Will starting coughing and quickly collapsed onto the floor.
