Will woke up with a horrible headache. He slowly opened his eyes and found that everything was out of focus. He blinked several times but he still could not see clearly. He went to rub his eyes and realized that his wrist, still sore from the shackles, were tightly bound. He struggled to get up and just as he got up to his knees, the room began to spin and darkness overcame him once again.

Abrafro went below to check on his precious cargo. He had moved from the position that he had left him. He walked over to the young man and pulled his head up by his hair. Good, he thought to himself, he's still not awake. Not being awake was less trouble for him.

The light was shining on Will's face, he opened his eyes slowly and shut them again. His head was still hurting but not as bad as before. He slowly crawled along to escape the sun. Once out of the sun, he opened his eyes and he could see not quite as well but it was getting better. Now the question remained where was he? He remembered drawing his sword at Tia's against a large man who wanted to take him to… his destiny?

Abrafro opened the door to where Will was being held. "It is 'bout time, dat ye woke up boy."

"Where are you taking me?"

"Ye be goin' to see Mami Utai. Tis your destiny." He walked over to Will and undid his bounds. "Seeings how der ain't no escaping out 'ere, I let ye hands free."

Will was grateful but he had no idea where he was or how long he had been unconscious. He followed the man up the stairs and found he was on a ship not nearly as big or as fast as the Pearl but big enough. He looked around and sat down to observe his fellow passengers. There seem to be four or five that were in charge, a captain, three others and the large man, who had captured him. The rest appeared to be slaves. He walked over to one of the slaves. He started to talk but he was ignored. He pulled the man's shoulder and as Will looked at his eyes, he jumped back. The man's eyes were covered all over in a white glaze. The man went back to his work as if Will had not been there at all. Abrafro watched the entire event take place and laughed loudly at Will's reaction. Will went back down into his so called room. Oh how his heart ached for Elizabeth. He didn't even know if she were alive or dead. He thought to himself, "Jack, I hope you got there in time and she's safe." He felt tired all over again, he was hungry too but rest seemed too important to pass up.

When Will awoke this time, he felt more like himself than before. Whatever that man had used on him was almost completely gone now. It was dark now and Will did not hear any movement on board. He thought this might be his chance to try and escape. He crept up topside and looked around. Those up on deck seemed to be sleeping. He carefully went over to a small boat and started to let it down to the water. He didn't know if he was close to land or if he would be found by another boat, but he felt he must try. As he started to release the ropes, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Will closed his eyes for a second and prepared to fight but when he turned around there were three men there and two of them grabbed each of his arms.

"Bind his arms in back and take him below. No one escapes from Abrafro."

Will was tied again and thrown into his room. Abrafro followed them into the room. "Be gone," he said and the others left. "Ye try me patience. I be kind to ye and ye tried to 'scape. Now ye must be punished."

Will tried backing away from Abrafro by scooting along the ground, but Abrafro just smiled and jerked him up by his elbow. He proceeded to punch Will in the stomach repeatedly then let him collapse on the floor. Will groaned in pain and Abrafro left the room. Will was relieved that he had left at least he could have peace and try and recover from his beating but only after a few minutes the door opened again.

"I would not try dat again. Ye will not escape me boy."

"I would rather die than go along with your plans. You have taken me from my friends and my future wife. I have no life without her and I don't even know if she's alive. So you see my large friend, without her I have nothing to live for."

"We see boy. 'ere drink dis." Abrafro said as he put a cup to Will's mouth. Will turned his head and refused to drink. "Drink me said!" Again Will turned and struggled against Abrafro. "Ye precious girl did not fight me like dis."

"You? You poisoned Elizabeth? Why? Why did you do it if you were after me this whole time?"

"Ye hav to go to Mami willingly."

"This is hardly willingly."

"Ye stayed wit Tia willingly, ye came on dis boat wit out a fight and ye will walk off dis boat to Mami willingly. Now drink!" Will began to refuse again. "I tell ye boy, ye drink or ye girl drinks again and der be no cure."

Will looked and saw that this was no idle threat. He either did as this man said or he would lose Elizabeth if he had not already lost her. He nodded and said, "I'll drink." Then Abrafro held the cup up until every last drop was gone. When Will had finished, he leaned against the wall. Things were getting blurry again and he felt light headed. He leaned over and slid to the ground. Abrafro just smiled, walked out the door and locked it.
