As they looked at Will, Gibbs came down and announced that the Pearl had dropped anchor. "Prepare the boats immediately. Elizabeth, prepare Will, we must go now to Tia's if there is any hope. Jess gather everything we got from Mami Utai's hut to bring with us." Jack stood up to leave the room.

"Jack, what do we do with Mami's body," Jess asked.

"We'll bring it with us. Just in case Tia needs it for some reason."

Elizabeth turned to Will and whispered into his ear, "Please hang on Will, I love you and I don't want to lose you."

They had everything loaded into the boats in record time. Jack had the strongest of his men to row for them trying anything and everything to get to Tia's hut faster. Jack could see her hut just ahead of him and for a second he felt himself relax just a bit.

"Will, Will," Elizabeth cried, "Will please, please don't leave me."

And for a split second Will opened his eyes, he started to move his lips and he started to mouth "Eliz…" and he closed his eyes and stopped breathing. Elizabeth let out a cry of pain for she had just realized her young lover had left her forever.

They continued their journey to Tia Dalma and unloaded the bodies of Mami Utai and Will Turner. There were no words exchanged between Jack, Jess and Elizabeth. There was only the occasional sob from Elizabeth. Jess had tears streaming down her face for her loss as well as for Elizabeth's loss. Will's death had even effective Jack more than anyone thought that it would; this was the time where Jack Sparrow cried tears of sorrow.

"Tia you brought Barbossa back from the dead, can not you do the same for Will," Elizabeth pleaded with her.

"I will try but mine is not near powerful as da black magic Mami uses," Tia said as she began to gather her herbs. "Put da boy's body in the back." She continued to work mixing herbs making her potion.

Elizabeth had walked over to Jack, she looked into his eyes – nothing was said but Jack put his arms around her and she began sobbing in his arms. Jess walked over to the two and gently suggested that they sit down on a nearby bench. She rubbed Elizabeth's back letting her know that they were here wanting to help any way they could. Jack held Elizabeth and looked up to Jess. She looked at his tear soaked eyes. She never thought that there was this soft side to the pirate. She never had thought that Will and Jack's friendship was so important to the pirate.

"Tis ready. But I warn ye not ta get ye hopes up," Tia said as she walked to the back with her bottle of the potion. She put the potion in Will's mouth hoping that at least some of it would be absorbed into his system. She walked back out to the somber looking friends. "We be knowin' soon." She began to pace through the small hut. She soon realized that the potion had worked on Barbossa by this time but said nothing to the trio waiting anxiously.

Finally Jess broke the silence, "How long did it take before?"

"Well, Will was under black magic, may take more time." Finally after several long hours, Tia spoke, "I am sorry. Me magic is not strong enough. I can not help da boy." Elizabeth let out another cry and collapsed – she was out cold. Jack told Jess to get ready they were leaving. Jack gently laid Elizabeth down and went to talk in private to Tia.

"Is there any more you can do or try," Jack asked Tia.

"You can leave 'em 'ere. I can try more but I fear all hope is lost."

"I will take them and return Elizabeth and Jess back to Port Royal. She needs to grieve and perhaps she'll find comfort at home with her father. Send word if you should have any luck."

"Aye Jack, I send word. I sorry for ye loss. I keep trying."

Jack went over and looked at Will. He was the gray color of death. His friend, so full of life and love, was now gone. The whelp that should be married and be chasing his children around a house would never be seen again. Anger started to creep up in Jack's heart, he wanted to fix this and could not. The anger was quickly replaced with sorrow once again when he thought about Elizabeth just in the other room.

Jack nodded to Tia and walked back to where Elizabeth lay. He picked her up as if she were a baby. Her head rested on his chest. Jess followed the two as he walked out the door leaving the hut that contained the body of their friend William Turner.

Elizabeth did not wake up the entire trip to the Pearl. Jack carried her carefully to his cabin and placed her on the bed. "Stay with her Jess. I need to tell the crew."

Jack went up to the deck. "Gibbs set sail for Port Royal. We go back for Miss Elizabeth to plan a funeral." The crew's heads dropped.

"Twas a fine lad and a good friend to ye, Jack. I am sorry for ye all," Gibbs said reflecting the sentiments of the entire crew.

Elizabeth finally came to and Jess was there to calm her. "I don't know what to do now Jess. He was my world. We were to be married – I should be planning the final touches on my wedding - now I am going to have to plan his funeral." Tears again started to flow.

"Elizabeth, I know that there is no comfort in words. I am so sorry…" Jess's words trailed off as Jack walked in the room.

"We're anchored in Port Royal love. Are you ready to go ashore?"

Elizabeth looked up and gave a small nod. He walked over to her and as she stood he put his arm around her. Jess followed the sad pair as they walked to the boat.

Elizabeth insisted that they go by the smithy before she returned to the Governor's mansion. She opened the door. She took a deep breath; the smell reminded her of Will. She walked around touching his tools. The handles of his completed swords that were around the walls. She walked back to his room and sat on his bed – the tears came again and she sat with her head in her hands. Jess and Jack gave her some time alone. Elizabeth saw something sticking under his bed. She reached down and pulled out something wrapped carefully in cloth. Opening it up she smiled, she knew exactly what it was – this was to have been her wedding gift – it was a sword that he had made just for her.
