"Looks like Norrington ended up with it after all, Will." She said quietly, not saying the word 'heart'. She seemed to be crying and the gun slightly shaking in her hand.

Becket stepped forward, the bag raised in his right hand. A group of his Royal Navy members boarded the ship and aimed for Davy Jones as they climbed aboard.

"I want your attention, Mr. Jones." He said slowly. "Your full attention, because what this bag contains could be quite precious to you."

Jones stepped forward. Will was watching Jones' expression, and also Adeline's. She seemed a bit confused, watching Elizabeth intently.

'Adeline doesn't know who she is.' He thought suddenly. 'She hasn't seen Elizabeth for years…'

"Release Jack Sparrow as well as Bill Turner….and most importantly, give your claim of the sea to me and nothing harmful will come to you."

Jones cackled. "You expect to raise a bag in the air and me give in what is rightfully mine?" He asked jokingly.

Becket pulled Jones' heart out of the bag and Elizabeth turned the gun to face it.

"No," She said, quietness edged in her voice. "We expect you to give it all up to save your own heart…or else I shoot it."

Davy Jones blinked hard for a few moments, watching Elizabeth aiming the gun at the heart. Seconds ticked by and Jones didn't answer….Elizabeth sighed sort of forcefully and, still shaking, cocked the gun.

"Fine," Jones said. "Jack Sparrow and Bill Turner…and the claim of the sea." He turned an evil glare to Barbossa and walked towards Becket. "But what about myself? Do I not get the least bit of profit?"

Becket thought intently, Elizabeth was still aiming the gun at the heart….Norrington looked as if he'd won the world cup, although he was still dressed in his old commodore clothing.

"We can talk it over Mr. Jones, I and my right hand man here." He said motioning towards Norrington, Will noticed Becket roll his eyes. "We'll talk over your rights….Elizabeth, would you kindly lend me that gun."

Elizabeth's eyes flared with anger and she refused, Becket rolled his eyes yet again stuffed the heart back in the bag.

Jones, Becket, and Norrington went off into Davy Jones' chambers. A startled looking Barbossa followed…knowing his plan was foiled…he thought intently of another plan that might help him kill Jack Sparrow. The minute the door slammed, Elizabeth flew to Will and threw her arms around his neck. She stood there sobbing into him…not noticing Adeline and Charley.

"Will…!" She spoke quietly. "H-h-he's done something a-awful to us!" Elizabeth said chokingly. She leaned into Will crying, unable to stop. Her dirty blonde curls becoming tangled with tears.

Adeline walked over the weeping Elizabeth and put her hand on the girl's shoulder. Adeline spoke so sweetly and calmly, just like a mother.

"Calm down sweetheart, what's wrong dear? What's wrong?"

Will was touched for a moment by the older woman's kindness towards a girl she thought she'd never seen before. But his thoughts quickly traveled back towards Elizabeth.

"What's wrong…?" He asked quietly…he'd come close to saying her name…but that would've given it away to Adeline who Elizabeth was. He wanted to hold off the reunion just a bit longer…he didn't know why…but something was telling him to hold off a little longer…

"Becket!" Elizabeth yelled. "H-he black-mailed m-me, Will!" The crew of Davy Jones were all listening intently, watching the girl weep so heavily. The Royal Navy had filed back onto the Dauntless.

Will sank to the deck floor with Elizabeth in his arms; she gladly sank down with him.

"How did he black-mail you Elizabeth?" He asked quietly, trying to calm her down. Adeline looked scared for the pair…Charley was watching intently.

"H-he tricked Norrington, he's going to dump Norrington on Davy Jones' crew…he just told Norrington that he was his right-hand man so he could get Norrington's loyalty for a while…he's going to give Jack and your father to Jones too…in return he's giving Jones Tortuga! He'll let Jones do whatever he wants with it."

Will was still cradling her. "What did he do to you?"

Fresh tears spilled down her face and she pulled her face away from Will's shoulder. She looked up and bit back tears, then closed her eyes. "H-he said that if I d-didn't cooperate with h-him, he'd k-k-kill you and the crew! What could I do?!" Will looked confusedly at her, she continued speaking. "He's going to keep me as his p-prize…and he says if you try to stop him he'll k-kill you or Jack or me or anyone in his path."

Will cringed and stared at Elizabeth's eyes turning red from crying. He thought hard of a way out of this mess.

"What is Becket talking to Jones about right now? Did he say?" He asked her.

"Y-yes…he's going to say to supposedly release Jack and your father first, and then they'd bargain for the sea and t-take me as his claim…then give Jack and your father back to Jones and lead him to Tortuga…Jones doesn't have a choice but take it or Becket will shoot his heart."

Will gently stood up and Elizabeth remained on the floor, he looked at Adeline. "We need your help…"

Charley looked at his mother fearfully for a moment, but looked back at Will with a bit more confidence.

"I'll lead you to your daughter, if you'll help us out of this mess. I've got only 7 crew members to help with the ship, myself and my fiancé here included. You've got to help us save my fiancé and my father…as well as Jack Sparrow…will you help us?"

Adeline stared hard at Will…after a few moments of thinking, she smiled.

"Agreed,"
