Jack was dreading this conversation but he knew that he must talk to Elizabeth and tell her everything. He knocked on her cabin door and she answered by a simple, "Enter." Jack opened the door to see her sitting with her son, his head on her lap; she was gently stroking his hair. Her eyes looked empty, devoid of emotion. It was easy enough to see that they both had cried until neither could cry anymore.
"Elizabeth, I must speak to ye. Alone," Jack said. Elizabeth looked up questioningly, "please love. It could be important."
Elizabeth looked at her son, "William go straight to see Aunt Jess and Jasmine and stay with them until I get you, understand?"
"Yes, Mum," William said hanging his head down walking out the door.
Once he had left, Elizabeth spoke up, "He blames himself for his father's death. He thinks if he hadn't been on deck and gone overboard then his father wouldn't have had to rescue him."
"It's a heavy burden for a small boy to bear," Jack replied.
"I can't live with the what if's Jack," Elizabeth whispered, "I can't keep guessing if somehow something was different."
Jack started pacing around the room, "Elizabeth, I haven't told ye everything." Elizabeth looked at him puzzled, "ye see love, when I jumped in and went underwater I did see Will," Jack took a deep breath, "Elizabeth he was being pulled under by dolphins. They were taking him deeper and deeper."
"He didn't drown because of the lightning? He was pulled under," Elizabeth asked standing up beginning to pace around the room herself. "I don't understand Jack. Why would they do that?"
"I don't know love but I did see it with me own eyes," Jack said.
"Jack," now it was turn for Elizabeth to take a deep breath, "do you think this may somehow be related to Will's destiny that Tia talked about?"
"I don't know love," he replied, "but I do know someone who might."
"Tia. Jack how fast can we get there," Elizabeth said with determination.
"Fast love. The Pearl and her crew will do everything in their power to help if we can."
The Pearl made record time and before Elizabeth knew if Jack, Jess and she were back at Tia's visiting an old friend that delivered their children. Jack explained everything to Tia including how Will was taken from them.
"And ye want ta know if dis be 'is destiny," she asked looking at Elizabeth.
"Yes and if so, is Will alive and can we get him back," Elizabeth asked.
"IF Will Turner still be alive, then 'e be far away from us. Further than 'e ever been before," Tia said reaching for her claws to try and read where Will was currently.
They were of no help to her. She drank some potion and went into some kind of trance mumbling things none of them could understand. After a while, she woke up.
"'e be alive but 'e's in another form not a human body for now," Tia explained, "I can not tell ye exactly but I do 'ave a start. Ye 'ave a long treacherous journey ahead of ye."
