Thank you all very much for reading the last chapter. I hope it met your expectations. Things are about to get slightly darker again so I hope you enjoy the chapter.


Elizabeth opened her eyes and still at was dark. This had to be the third time already she'd woken up for no reason.

"Come"

What was that? Elizabeth sat up and looked to her sides. Everyone had fallen asleep, even James who was supposed to be on watch. Will was still by her side and Jack was snoring away near the water.

"Come"

That voice, whatever it was, was decidedly female. It lilted and had a sort of musical quality to it. It was a bit hard to resist actually... It was carried through the wind and straight from the forest and the trees.

It beckoned.


Jack was stuck with another day shift as Will was given more of this "time off." Jack had never heard of such a thing, but who was he to argue. He wasn't in any position of power after all. "How many were you able to speak with last night?" he asked James.

"Quite a few actually. Unfortunately though, no one thinks we can do it. Attempts have been made in the past but nothing ever, ever managed to come to fruition."

"That's a very unfortunate thing mate. Looks like we'll need to come up with a more clever idea."

"But what though? What can we do?" James asked.

It was then that Jack heard a strange, sort of knocking sound. He looked around but everyone was so busy that they didn't notice. "Do you hear that?" he asked.

"Hear what?" James asked.

The knocking persisted and Jack discovered that it was coming from below.

"Do you think anyone'll notice if we..."

He pointed down the stairs and James shrugged. They slipped away from the crew and went to see what it was. It led them down into the slave quarters.

"Hello?" Jack called out. He and James stayed close to the walls to try and listen. It kept getting louder as they want.

James and Jack looked at each other and went right to the door.

"Elizabeth, is that you?" James asked.

They heard Elizabeth gasp from within. "James; is it really you?"

"Yes; it's me."

"And me too don't forget," Jack added.

"Jack? Jack Sparrow; oh my goodness. You're trapped on this ship as well?"

"Aye, unfortunately."

"Thank goodness it's the both of you then. I need your help desperately."

"What is it?" James asked.

"They're going to kill Will! I heard them talking a little while ago. They're going to kill him during tomorrow's night shift. We've got to save him."

James looked at Jack with a surprisingly desperate look in his eyes. Sparrow on the other hand was shaking his head.

"But how?" he asked slowly.

"How much longer can the two of you stay down here?" Elizabeth asked.

"Only a few minutes more I'm afraid," James said with a sigh. "They don't know that we're missing yet."

"First though you've got to try and do something," Elizabeth said.

"What?" the two men asked.

"You've got to figure out a way to get me out of here!"


Jack slowly came back to consciousness. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. It had been a good night's sleep and he felt completely rested. Looking at his companions, he noticed that something seemed to be a bit off.

"Where's Elizabeth?" he asked aloud.

James woke up having heard the question, looked around and shrugged. He then poked Will on the shoulder.

"Arise a kni-" he mumbled into the sand.

"Have you seen Elizabeth, William?" James asked, ignoring whatever it was the boy was dreaming about.

Will sat up and took a look around. "Elizabeth?" he called out.

Getting a bit desperate, he got to his feet and ran into the forest.


Will felt another cough coming on. He felt just awful. Even with all of the extra rest, it didn't feel as though he was getting any better. The door to the quarters opened and in walked two of the Captain's crewmen. They didn't say anything.

The two men walked right up to Will, pulled him to his feet and dragged him up the stairs to the deck. The door to the Captain's cabin opened and the man walked out with a gun in his hand. Will tried to sit up, but another coughing fit struck him, leaving him helpless to do anything.

The sun disappeared behind a large grouping of clouds and thunder boomed overhead.


Will heard Jack and James running behind him but didn't turn around at all.

"Elizabeth?" James called out once again.

A bush moved just up ahead and Will stopped causing the other two to run into the back of him. They managed not to fall in a heap for once and out of the bush came Elizabeth's head.

"Elizabeth, there you are. It's not a good thing to be walking off like that ye know luv," Jack said.

He made to walk forward, but Will put a hand out effectively stopping him in place.

"Doe een andere voorwaarts stap niet," her voice boomed with a half crazed look in her eyes.

"Oh, bloody hell. Not again," James said.


-Doe een andere voorwaarts stap niet. "Do not take another step forward."

Now, you know I couldn't let Will have all the fun. Of course she had to get possessed as well. Thank you all once again for reading. Next chapter might (hopefully) include extra memory. I had to include that one reference (I was watching it earlier when I started working on the chapter- if you spotted it and tell me what it was then I'll be extra happy) See you all in a week. :)
