Chapter Seven: It's Not Will's Fault

Jack sat in a stunned silence, that one phrase repeating over and over in his head. "It was Will…..It was Will" Jack was having a very hard time believing that it had actually been Will, although he didn't doubt Elizabeth's account of what had happened at all, it just didn't sound right. There was something wrong with the way Will had acted toward Elizabeth. Even if he had been angry, he wouldn't purposely hurt her, he loved her. But maybe he loved her to much.

No, he still wouldn't hurt her even if he was crazy.

Trying to figure things out, Jack replayed what Elizabeth had said happened in his head.

------------------------------------Flash Back---------------------------------------

Elizabeth was still angry at Jack, so she walked off to the woods when he came behind her with a depressing dinner. She wandered around aimlessly with Bob the rabbit trying to find something she could eat. She came upon a banana tree and set down Bob so she could get one.

She was busy munching away when she heard foot steps behind her. Figuring is was Jack following her she stated

"Go away. I'm not in the mood for your silly games. Just leave me alone."

Not hearing a reply, she turned around and saw Will looking down at her.

"Will! Oh it's so good to see you! Do you have a ship? Can we get off the island?" She looked at Will awaiting a response. When none came she looked into his eyes and saw something different about them. His normal honey coloured eyes were a dark brown. They looked foreign and Elizabeth knew something was wrong with him.

"Will? Will are you alright?" He just stared and all of a sudden pulled Elizabeth into a painful kiss. She struggled with him and pushed him away. This was not the Will she knew. The Will she knew always asked before he kissed her, and he wasn't so rough, and he didn't come towards her after being pushed away.

"Elizabeth I love you and you are mine, only mine. He cannot have you." Will's voice was rough and mean sounding, not at all the sweet voice of Elizabeth's Will.

Elizabeth turned and started to run back to Jack because she thought he would know what to do when Will grabbed her around the waist and pushed her to the ground. Getting back up, Elizabeth pulled out her sword, preparing for a fight. Will already had his out.

"Will, I don't want to hurt" She was trying to sound confident, but her voice was laced with fear. Will didn't say anything, just lunged at her with his sword. The ensuing fight lasted only a few minuets, Will had been training with Barbossa for quite some time and was all the better for hit. He had Elizabeth's sword knocked to the ground quickly and when she bent to pick it up he sliced her stomach. Elizabeth screamed and fell to the ground. She hit her head on a rock and rolled over. Will stood over her, a maniac glint in his eyes. He roughly began to pull her shirt up and untie her pants when the sound of running footsteps came and Jack found Elizabeth.

-----------------------------------End Flash Back------------------------------------

It was nearing dusk and Elizabeth sat by the fire wrapped up the blanket she had been sleeping on. She stared into the fire, wondering what was wrong with Will and wanting to help him. She knew that what he had done had not been of his own accord. He was being controlled by someone, but who? And why did they want Will to harm her? It was all very confusing. Jack came over and brought some fruit.

"Here, you need to eat." Elizabeth just shook her head.

"I'm not hungry."

"Elizabeth I will force feed you if I have too." She looked at him and smiled. He really was a kind person, even if he had made some bad choices. She took the fruit and ate it, just to humor him. She yawned and leaned into Jack watching the sun set. Behind them, a dinghy was pulling into the island.

Will growled at the approaching dinghy. The potion was already starting to wear off, and the Master was coming to give him more. Will sat down, not having the energy to be angry, his head was splitting and he was seeing flashes of Elizabeth lying on the ground. He was starting to remember what had happened and he hated himself for it. He didn't want to do these things, he loved Elizabeth, but that was exactly why the Master had chosen him, because he was in love with a beautiful woman.
