The sea had always calmed her. But now its crashing waves brought nothing but torment. Guilt ran through her veins. The waves brought back memories and feelings of when she saw the Pearl swallowed by the kraken. Jack had been a good friend. He was a liar, a cheat, and deep down just a pirate, but he was a good man. Elizabeth looked up for Will. She wanted to confess what she did to Jack. He seems to already know what I did. "Elizabeth." "Miss Swan, if you please," Elizabeth said as she turned. "Well then Miss Swan, you may be a lady, but ya still need to pull yer weight," Barbossa said to the young woman. "Yes Captain," Elizabeth replied. I guess I can talk to Will later. It's not like I'm not going to see him again. For god's sake, we're on a boat. The crew and their return-from-the-dead captain had left Tia Dalma's in a good-sized boat the day before. The Renaissance was a fair ship, but not as majestic as the Pearl and Barbossa had been complaining ever since. "I can't believe tha Jack, would let the kraken eat me boat," Barbossa sighed. "Well, Jack did owe Jones for the Pearl, so it's really Jack's ship," Elizabeth replied while scrubbing the deck. "It's really a shame tha Jack would pay to buy me a ship wit his soul." Elizabeth shook her head. Why did Jack pay for Davy Jones to raise the Black Pearl? It is just a ship after all. Elizabeth smiled. She thought of that time she and Jack were stranded on that blasted island. "The Pearl is much more than a ship. The Pearl is freedom." Her smile faded. So that was why Jack came back. He wanted to save his freedom. He could have done that on any old mangy ship. Maybe the Pearl had something special about it. "Captain Barbossa," Elizabeth said to the death defying pirate. "What is so special about the Black Pearl that Jack would pay his soul to raise it from the depths?" She questioned him. "Well, missy, tha is for the captain to 'no and for ya to never find out," he replied and laughed as he went into his quarters. Pirates.
Elizabeth sighed and looked to the seas beyond the boat. She scanned and barely registered that there was a dot on the horizon. The young woman did a double take and rubbed her eyes. Still there. Elizabeth ran and knocked directly into Will. "Will!" she exclaimed. "Will, there's something on the horizon." She pulled him to the stern. "Look!" Will pulled out an eyeglass. "East India trading company. They must have someone tracking us," Will stated. "They are probably looking for the Pearl. They won't know that you and I are on here," Elizabeth told him. "They're gaining on us. Should we tell Barbossa?" Will questioned. "No need to Mr. Turner. I 'ave already seen it," the older captain said right behind Will and Elizabeth. They looked at each other and a silent agreement came between the three. "All hands on deck! Prepare for battle!" Barbossa yelled. Elizabeth looked at Will and he nodded. Prepare for battle…
