Thanks for reading and reviewing the last chapter everyone. I tried to inject as much love into this chapter as I could (didn't really work out so well) Hope you enjoy it.

They got back to the beach just before sunset. Will was being supported by Elizabeth who seemed to recover remarkably fast for someone who was so ill just earlier in the day.

"Here we are," she said helping him to sit on the ground.

Jack sighed as he plopped down next to Will and stretched his arms high above his head. "Well I'm not tired in the slightest," he announced.

"Well how absolutely wonderful for you then," James said sitting on Will's other side.

Will pouted and Elizabeth laid her head on his lap. "What's the likelihood of any of us falling asleep tonight?" Will asked.

Jack looked up at the sky before jumping up. "I'm going to search out some food. Be back in a bit."

He then pulled James to his feet and dragged him away.

"And why did you have to feel a need to pull me away like that?" James asked once they were out of earshot.

"One, because I am bloody hungry."

"Well I am as well but that still doesn't account for the fact that..."

"And the other reason," Jack continued, "is because I want them to have a little alone time together savvy."

James just stared at Jack for a moment. "You know Sparrow that if you say these things to begin with then I'll gladly accept. No need to run around the bushes so to speak."

He then pushed Jack ahead of him and the two went off into the forest for whatever eatables they could find.

"How does that feel?" Will asked Elizabeth as he continued to rub her shoulders.

"Mmm lower please," she said between a moan.

Will complied and began to plant small kisses along her neck as well. "I love you."

"I know."

Will stopped a few minutes later and Elizabeth once again lay upon his lap. He then lovingly ran his fingers through her hair and tried to relax her as much as he could. Will was just doing his best to make her forget what had happened earlier in the day. "Elizabeth...?"

"Yes Will?"

"What happened," he asked, pausing for a moment, "after I blacked out that second time I mean?"

For a minute, Elizabeth didn't say anything. "Why do you ask?"

"It felt sort of…odd really," he said, his fingers staying in place.

"Nothing happened Will," Elizabeth said quietly. She sat up and went to sit now beside him. "You just blacked out and the natives just left. Jack and James managed to convince them to go."

Will looked at her and shook his head slowly. He didn't believe a word she was saying. "And how did the two of them manage to convince a whole tribe to pick up everything and leave because for the life of me I just can't see it."

He continued to stare at her and Elizabeth was finding it very hard to look away from his hypnotic gaze.

It was early in the day (or so she thought) and sleep was once again evading her. A decent sleep would have been heaven for her but not on this ship; not at this time.

Sighing, she again looked at the wall and began to count backwards from one hundred. It was a little trick that Will had taught her when they were little and on their way to Port Royal all those years ago. Where was Will now? She hadn't heard from him since that night through the door. "What were he and the others up to?" she asked herself quietly. Elizabeth waited for an answer but knew that there wasn't one.

"So, which is nex' then?" someone asked from outside of the door. It was the guard that the Captain had placed outside of their hovel.

Ever the inquisitive one, Elizabeth stood up and walked over to hear what was going on.

"That Turner boy; Captain doesn't think he'll make it to the end. We're to go after 'im witin de next coupla days," the one guard said to the other.

Elizabeth felt as though her heart stopped beating.

"'E still seems aright to me?"

"Cap'n jus wants 'im out o' commission. Tomorrow night, on dat shift."

"Will, you. fainted," Elizabeth said forcefully to get her point across. A sudden headache at the temples seemed to hit but she just shook it off as nothing.

Will sighed and didn't say anything more. Elizabeth could tell that he still didn't believe her but that was beside the point at the moment.

Jack and James returned a little while later with some fruit they found in a tree.

"Banana anyone?" Jack asked handing them out anyway.

Everyone ate silently as the moon continued to rise higher into the sky.

"Jack?" Will asked putting the empty peel on the beach. "What happened earlier when I blacked out?"

"Nothing," Jack said without missing a beat.

"James?"

"Nothing at all Mr. Turner. Well, I'm going to sleep now. Good night." James attempted to lie back when Will, using all of his strength, pulled him back up.

"Tell me the truth or else I'm not going to let anyone sleep tonight," Will said staring at each of them.

"You were bloody possessed by an ancient tribal demigod," Jack blurted out. "Satisfied?"

The gentle lapping of the waves was the only sound anyone heard.

"...What?"

"Good night," Elizabeth quickly said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Sleep tight," James added with a nod.

"Don't let the fish jump out of the water and bite you. Of course, you have your own little fishing technique so who am I to argue with that," Jack said rolling his eyes.

Everyone lay down on the sand and closed their eyes except for Will. "Come on, someone tell me what really happened."

"I believe I just did now good night!" Jack said and he pushed Will onto the sand before laying back again himself and shutting his eyes.

"You'll tell me the truth eventually," Will muttered, moving to be on his side.

"Whatever you say William."

Thanks for reading. Hope everyone has a nice day. :)
