A/N I know I'm really late with this chapter. With school and the holidays coming around, I've been really busy. Anyways, here's the next chapter, and I will upload the next chapter as soon as I can!

Elizabeth tightly held the side of ship with her dry hands, knuckles pure white. Her eyes were full of tears, threatening to spill over. A smile slowly crept up her face as she saw the love of her life walk across the deck of his ship. She quickly ran over the gang plank on the Pearl, waiting for her husband to come onto the ship and into her arms, but suddenly, he disappeared. Her eyebrows furrowed and she surveyed the Dutchman, tears now overpowering her eyesight.

"Elizabeth"

She quickly whipped around and saw Will standing right in front of her. For five long years, she hadn't seen him, kissed him, or even spoken to him. Yet, there he was waiting for her to respond. She didn't know what to do. Funnily enough, she switched her gaze to Jack, who was lazily leaning against the helm, one eyebrow higher than the other in confusion. Why is she looking at me? He thought.

Elizabeth understood his expression and vigorously hugged Will. He slightly stepped back from the sudden movement, but didn't embrace her in return. Elizabeth opened her eyes in surprise and hugged him tighter. Will roughly grabbed Elizabeth's arms and pushed her back and looked up and down her body, as if he was searching something. Elizabeth twitched her face as the hold on her arms got tighter.

"Where's the chest?" he said in monotone. Elizabeth shook her head slowly. "Will", she responded. She looked to the floor, her hair forming a curtain around her pale face. Will grew impatient and slightly shook her while saying "Where is the chest!"

Elizabeth jerked her head up and escaped from Will's grasp, taking a couple of steps back. "Will, I'm sorry, but…it's gone." She looked into Will's furious eyes.

"What do you mean it's gone!" He snapped.

"I'm sorry, that traitorous bastard Tai Huang stole my ship, leaving me in Tortuga, and the chest in my quarters." Tears were now rapidly falling down her face. "How did you know where to find me?"

"So is that the reason why you are on the Pearl?" he grimaced while looking up at Jack, ignoring what Elizabeth was saying. Jack quickly sensed the tension and came down to the deck where they were standing. He turned around to face Will, sliding closer to Elizabeth.

"Hello Captain Turner, and how are we feeling today then?"

"Shut up Jack," Will responded. Jack swayed his head back and burrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Will looked back at Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth, I entrusted the chest with you when I left you on that island, and I'm not quite sure if you understood the responsibility with taking care of my life. I-"

Jack quickly interrupted. "William, I'm not so quite sure that you understand that Elizabeth losing the chest was a matter clearly out of her hands. She couldn't have possible known that Tai Huang would leave her in Tortuga." Will gave Jack a furious look. "I told you to be quiet Jack"

Jack smiled.

Elizabeth finally spoke. "Will, I already apologized. I actually wanted to find you and help you find the chest by using that special map of yours. We could locate the Dragon and get it back." She looked at her husband with determined and hopeful eyes.

"Elizabeth, you do not understand, I cannot waste my time looking for the chest because your faults, and I have a duty to stand by," he paused, "no thanks to Mr. Sparrow."

Jack grimaced and snorted "Dear boy, if I didn't help you stab Jones' heart all those years ago, you would be dead mate!"

Will rolled his eyes in impatience and ignored Jack's important point. He looked back at Elizabeth, who had stopped crying. She glared at Will for his previous comment.

"Well, if you don't have the time, then I will just have to do it then, seeing how you are so reluctant to save you own life, as you stated," she looked at his drenched coat, "give me the map and I'll find the chest for you." Will promptly pulled his jacket forward and gave Elizabeth the faded map. "Here." He slightly pushed it into Elizabeth's hands. Elizabeth grabbed it out of Will's hands and brought it to his side and walked pass Will, but then suddenly stopped and turned around to face him "I promise I will find it, even if I have to sell the my soul to the devil. I love you Will." She looked at him with hopeful eyes, praying he would say those same words to her.

Will pushed Elizabeth away and returned to the Flying Dutchman, and soon the haunted ship was deep within the ocean. Elizabeth looked over the side of the Pearl and tears were once again forming in her red eyes. She could only see dark blue waters. She wiped them away and walked quickly into Jack's cabin. Jack looked at her with sad eyes. She doesn't deserve this. Bloody Will has to ruin bloody everything! He thought. He advanced to his cabin, but not before glancing at the helm to make sure somebody was steering the ship.

Seeing Cotton, he walked to the door of his quarters, and put his right ear against the cold wood. He could hear Elizabeth's hushed sobs. He slightly paused and lifted his hands to scratch his forehead, trying to think of what he would say to comfort her. He shook his head and opened the door.
