Chapter Twenty-Seven

Back in Port Royal

It seemed like it was taking forever to sail to Port Royal according to Jack and Will. Most of the crew had even decided to sail on the Black Pearl because of the tempers Will and Jack kept showing. Some crew members, after a while, came back to the Empress for sailing with Hector Barbossa was becoming quite impossible. It turned out, according to Jacoby Gibbs, that Captain Barbossa's temper was much worse than Will and Jack's. "Murtogg and Mullroy got to 'im," Gibbs told Jack and Will. "It's bad enough havin' Pintel and Ragetti aboard the ship an' causin' Cap'n Barbossa to go insane." Gibb's words had actually managed to make Jack and Will laugh.

Now here were Will, Jack, Lizzie and other pirates. They were only minutes away from Port Royal, Jamaica. Some of the Pirate Lords, such as Mistress Ching, and the others who were incredibly far away, decided to head back home to where they belonged. They believed that Jack, Will, Barbossa, Gentleman Jocard, and Capitaine Chevelle could handle it all. Jack and Will wanted Lord Thomas Beckett all to themselves and with disappointment, Jocard and Chevelle left with a promise from Will and Jack that each Pirate Lord would receive some sort of trophy after Beckett's death. Jocard and Chevelle, even if they were two somewhat laid back men, took Will and Jack's word. They were glad that they'd get some sort of trophy for they had never gotten anything from the death of big brother Lord Cutler Beckett.

With AnaMaria's help, Captain Elizabeth Turner was able to make her way every few hours to Doc Collins so her dressings could be changed and her wounds could be cleaned. AnaMaria even made sure that while playing with Bella and Willy that Elizabeth didn't get to carried away. Thanks to Jacob Benjamin, AnaMaria and Elizabeth didn't have to gather their shillings for a room at a tavern. Jacob allowed Elizabeth and AnaMaria to stay at his home in Port Royal free of charge.

Later that day, Elizabeth and AnaMaria sat down to have a short but important discussion with Bella and Willy. Elizabeth sat down with Bella in her lap. Willy was in AnaMaria's. "William," Elizabeth said as she turned slightly to look at her curly haired son. "I didn't discipline you before but I don't want to see you disrespecting your father." Willy looked down at his feet. He knew how he had behaved was wrong. "Your father and I had no choice but to stay away from you," Elizabeth continued. "Your father was murdered during the war between the East India Trading Company and all the pirates. Davy Jones killed him but Uncle Jack helped your father to live by helping Will stab Jones' heart." A loud sigh escaped Willy's lips and Bella wore a large smile. She always loved to year about Jack saving her father from death.

"One day on land. Ten years out at sea. That was the rule that Calypso had for the Captain of the Flying Dutchman and because Davy Jones was killed, your father had to take his place. When I died, giving birth to you, I made sure that Jack didn't tell your father about you two so he would complete his duty. Jack did the right thing," Elizabeth said as her voice trailed off. She would see Will again. He wasn't the captain of the Flying Dutchman anymore but she still missed him. She missed him a lot.

Jack and Will stood impatiently on the dock waiting for Barbossa. "I think he's jus' doin' this on purpose, Mate," Jack said with a slight chuckle. Will nodded. He knew that Jack was right. The two pirates had obviously rushed Captain Barbossa once they made port. Jack and Will just wanted to see their lover's. They waited for minutes. Barbossa had still not showed up. They looked around. The Black Pearl wasn't docked. Instead, it was near a ship that looked as if it belonged to the East India Trading Company.

They stared at the ship known as the Triumph and looked confused when they saw Captain Hector Barbossa coming up from the lower deck. He looked as if he was waving for them to come over. Jack and Will walked quickly over to where the Triumph and Pearl were. Their fast walking quickly turned into a run as they ran up the wooden ladder that would take them to the main deck of the Triumph. "What is it, Barbossa?" Will asked quickly.

Captain Hector Barbossa seemed to be wearing a mischievious smile upon his lips that showed off his filthy and crooked teeth. He replied, "Take a look fer ye self down in the brig, gents." Jack and Will looked at him confused but they walked down the stairs in the direction of the brig. From the main deck all they could hear was Barbossa's loud and obnoxious laughter.What they saw down in the brig caught them by surprise. There sat Lord Thomas Beckett tied to a chair. "Well, well, well," Jack mocked. "What have we here?"

Lord Thomas Beckett stared dumbfounded at Jack and Will. His mouth hung open. "Where's Elizabeth?" Will asked. Beckett refused to answer the two pirates which resulted in a punch in the stomache from Will Turner. "Where is my wife?" Beckett still refused to answer. Will went to hit him again but he quickly spat out, "You mean that whore that I gave a beating?" Will's face turned red with anger. "I was hoping to kill that pirate spawn she seems to be caring," Beckett continued in a mocking tone.

Confusion showed on Will and Jack's face. "Spawn?" Jack asked, probably even more confused than his best friend. Beckett nodded as he wore a smirk on his face. "Yes," Beckett replied. "She and her friend seem to each be caring pirate spawns." Jack's confusion only showed more.

"Come again?" Jack asked. Lord Thomas Beckett snickered at the pirate captains. "You're obviously not that bright," Beckett mocked. "They're both pregnant, you dolt." Will and Jack's mouths hung open wide with shock. Had they heard right? AnaMaria Lamar and Elizabeth Turner both pregnant? At the same time? At first they thought it was a trick to get them angry schemed up by Lord Thomas Beckett as he was tied to a chair with a whip.

Before any of them knew it, Will was at Beckett's throat once more. His small dagger that he usually held on his side, the one that his father had cut his heart out with, pressed against Beckett's throat. The blade drew only the smallest amount of blood. "You don't want to kill me," Beckett said, still in a mocking tone. Will smirked and tried not to laugh. He wanted to kill Beckett. He knew Jack probably wanted to also because he was a pirate and had tried to sell AnaMaria into slavery. It confused Will because Jack didn't move from his spot by the door. Jack Sparrow just stayed put with a smile on his lips.

Angrily, Will stared at Beckett and pressed the blade deeper to the man's throat. Through gritted teeth and anger, he answered, "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't." Beckett's eyes had grown a bit wider after Will pressed the blade deeper against his throat. With a studder, Beckett said, "Because... because you're a pirate and a good man." Will straightened his posture and removed the blade away from Beckett's neck. Thomas Beckett didn't understand what was wrong with Will. Neither did Jack.

Will Turner appeared to be laughing and no one seemed to quite understand why he was laughing. Will suddenly stopped laughing and glared at Lord Thomas Beckett. "I'm a pirate and the only time I'm a good man," Will said as he placed his blade back against Beckett's throat. "Is towards my family and friends." Before Beckett could reply, his life was over. Captain Will Turner, former captain of the Flying Dutchman, had slit Lord Thomas Beckett's throat. Jack Sparrow stared at his best friend in shock. It was true that Will hated him. All the pirates hated Thomas and Cutler Beckett. That was no lie. He just couldn't believe what Will had just did.

Quietly, Will turned and headed back up to the main deck. He didn't care about the body. He hoped people found him. "Where's old Beckett?" Barbossa asked as Will and Jack walked back to the main deck. Jack looked at Barbossa, still in shock from Will's actions. Finally, Will said, "He fell behind."

A/N: Ok so I really do love how this chapter turned out! I hope you all do too! I thought Will needed to show a little bit of crazy. Thanks to cmc-greenleaf and CaptainSparrow-luv for giving me the idea on how Beckett should die! 'Cept it wasn't Jack. He just HAD to keep pushing Will's buttons. Also, upon many requests there WILL be a sequel. I will post either a small portion or the summary up in the last chapter. But it's called Can't Keep My Eyes Off You. ) I was listening to a high school musical song when I thought of the title but trust me... it totally fits. ANYWAY! Please review! Thankies! )
