Hey guys here is 15! I think my writer's block is coming back again! Oh noes!

KeeperChic: Thank you so much! Aw, I'm sorry we had the same idea! It's ok though let me know when you have it up and I'll give it a read! The info on his past I got from the game "The Legend of Jack Sparrow" and the official Disney website long ago. The scar info is actually a deleted scene from the first movie. I'll send you an e-mail with the link so you can watch it since this site won't allow me to link you! The scene will look familiar at first but watch all of it and you'll see some new parts you havent seen before, including the scars, parts that were deleted from the final version of the movie. And actually the scars look ALOT worse on the actual DVD, on this youtube version they are a bit blurred.

Scarlett Burns: Yes Elizabeth definately has some things to be accounted for. For sure! Yea Barbossa is great ain't he? One of my fav villains!

captain.J.sparrow: Hehe no I don't think they'll be getting along, at least, not for now. Yes, Norrington is dead. sniff I'll miss him. He died with honor though. I too wanted Jack and Michelle to see their revenge but unfortunately in life the unexpected always tends to happen. ...sad sigh...

CaptainOfTheBlackPearl: Thank you! I try so hard at keeping him in character, who of the most important elements of any POTC fanfic in my opinion. (If Jack's involved of course) So that really means alot! Thanks again!

Lady Kiara Skywalker: Oh no! Having comp problems? That always sucks aye? Thank you! Will try to continue updating ASAP! Hopefully my slight case of writer's black goes far, far away.

Chapter 15: Confrontations (Part 2)

Michelle sighed deeply, wondering when all of this was going to finally just be over. She was beginning to miss the long boring days back on Curacao. Back when there was no drama around every corner she turned, back when her best friend was not aboard the Flying Dutchman. Being a pirate was a lot harder than she though it'd be.

She smacked herself mentally, who was she kidding? A pirate? Yea right... she wasn't even close. Sure she learned a few sword techniques from Jack but she wasn't anything special. She couldn't even get revenge for herself...

To top things off, now she had Elizabeth to worry about as well. Michelle knew she had feelings for the captain, and she was beginning to think he had some for her as well. With Elizabeth back in the picture though, would that still be the case?

She knew Jack and Elizabeth had much more history than a measly two weeks. Sighing again, she closed her eyes and leaned against one of the walls. She didn't want to think about it anymore. What was she to do now?

Jack was a tad hesitant when approaching Will, he didn't really know what he was going to do or say to get the heart back safely. He had to get it back though, he was so close to having his precious Pearl back.

He finally made his advance towards the younger man, who was staring out into the open sea.

"Will! Long time no see aye? It's great to see you!" He said cheerfully, stopping next to him. Will's gaze turned to Jack, his eyes still carrying a bitter animosity towards him after witnessing the kiss between him and his fiancé.

"Yea, you too Jack. It really was a surprise at first to see you alive and well." He responded, with a fake smile and look of sincerity.

"Surprise? You of all people should know I don't go down that easily." Jack said, disappointed to see the heart was no where in plain sight on Will.

Will looked away from Jack and back to the sparkling sea, "Yea..." Was all he could say. He was so angry. How could Jack waltz on up to him after what he did and act like everything was ok? Is this how friends treated eachother nowadays? Oh but that's right, he forgot. Jack was a pirate. Why did he ever trust him in the first place?

"So um.. William. Or Will, if you please. Do you know anything about what happened to that heart?"

"Yes. I know exactly what happened to it Jack." Will said unexpectedly, turning back to him once again, "I have it! Is that all you came out here to say to me? It's always about personal gain with you isn't it?"

Jack leaned his head back, as Will was a little too close for comfort.

"Personal gain? Of course not."

"Yea right Jack! You know, I used to trust you but not any more! You're nothing but what I always despised in pirates!"

Jack raised an eyebrow, "Look Will, if this is about that whelp comment back in Port Royal then I sincerely-"

"This is about Elizabeth! You really must think I'm a fool or some kind of simpleton Jack! I saw you! Both of you! On that day before we left!" Will shouted furiously.

Jack was speechless, the thought had never even crossed his mind that anyone saw that kiss. Will finally backed up a couple steps at Jack's silence and took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

"Well, I'm not going to deny what happened. If you really want the truth then I confess, I did have feelings for Miss Elizabeth. However, that was before she sentenced me to my almost certain death." Jack said, his stare not leaving Will's.

A look of frustration and confusion came over Will, "What are you talking about? You're the one that stayed on the Black Pearl."

"I did stay on the Black Pearl. I didn't really have a choice since I was shackled to the bloody thing." Jack said.

"You mean Elizabeth... chained you to the ship?" Will asked. Jack nodded hesitantly, he didn't want Will to know that was the very reason Elizabeth kissed him. If he were to find out, there may have been absolutely nothing to bargain with.

"But enough about that! I'm trying to forget it. What do you say we make a deal for that heart aye?"

Will snapped out of his daze at Jack's words, "Actually for once I'm one step ahead of you Jack. I had already planned on giving this to you." Will said, reaching into his coat and pulling out the small pouch which contained the heart, "If you do two things for me!"

"Learning to bargain like a pirate now aye? All right go ahead what's your offer?" Jack asked, listening intently.

"I want you to make sure Davy Jones let's my father off of his crew!"

"Ok, and?"

"You cut off all interest you have in Elizabeth! No matter what were to ever happen you turn her down!" Will demanded.

"Done! And I'll throw in a bonus! I won't even mention this deal ever happened!" Jack said, not even a hint of reluctancy in his voice. That was even easier than he thought it'd be. The two shook hands and the deal was complete.

He never wanted to be vexed by Elizabeth, he struggled not to fall in love with her, and in the end, when he finally let his guard down, she sent him to his death.

And so, the deal was easy simply because, he wasn't in love with Elizabeth anymore. He was starting to wonder though, if maybe he was beginning to have those same feelings for another woman.

He smiled at the thought as Will handed over the pouch to him. Jack peeked inside at the still beating heart and felt an avalanche of both happiness and relief crash upon him. This was it. This was all he needed to set things right again. Jones would never persue him again, the kraken would become history, and he'd have his ship back.

Jack stuffed the pounch into his coat, "Well it was nice doing business with you, I must find Michelle and tell her of the good news. So if you'll excuse me."

"Remember our deal Jack!"

"You have my word!" Jack called to him as he walked off.

Michelle was no where to be found. How could that be? No doubt the ship was big but it wasn't that big. Jack searched the decks, the cabins, even the galley. Where the heck was the young lass? He exhaled deeply in annoyance and took a swig of his newly uncorked bottle of rum.

Turning around to begin his search again, he came face to face with Elizabeth. He swallowed his mouthful of rum and raised an eyebrow, not particularly happy to see her.

"H... Hello Jack." She said, rather sheepishly. This was the first time the two had made eye contact since their last encounter on the Black Pearl. Jack clutched his bottle tightly, "Did you need something? I'm kind of busy."

"Yes actually I... wanted to talk... about what happened."

"Well I don't. Nothing to say about it. I'm afraid apologies won't fix this. Not something this big." Jack said, walking passed her.

"But I really am sorry!" She shouted, stopping him.

He turned back to her, "Do you have any idea how close to being killed I was? I'm not a man to put my trust in anyone very often. I can say however that I did trust you." After a long time, he allowed himself to have feelings and what happened? They were used against him, as always. He was sick of it, "That trust went down with my ship." He finished with.

"I was only doing what I thought was right!"

"And the right thing is sacrificing good ol' Jack is that it Elizabeth?"

"I would very much appreciate it if you would stop addressing me that way Captain!"

Jack grinned at her response and took another drink of his rum, "Oh I see Miss Swann. Are you not a pirate anymore? Back to being all proper, aye? Very well then, consider it done."

Elizabeth felt a small sting of tears at her eyes as the captain turned his back on her and continued on his way without another word.
