Elizabeth stood on the deck of Poseidon, the ship in possession of Tia Dalma. She sighed as she stared out at the open ocean. She was almost scared of it more than Jack Sparrow ever was now. She feared that the Kraken might come after them next. She could have been wrong when she told Jack that it was after him, not them. Davy Jones was their enemy, and Elizabeth wouldn't be surprised if they got an attack from the Kraken.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from behind her. She turned her head around to see who it was; Will Turner, the man she has been avoiding the whole trip. She gave him a small smile then stared back at the ocean.

"The sea is beautiful, isn't it?" Will asked her as he leaned against the deck next to her.

"So it seems," Elizabeth replied with a sigh.

"Elizabeth is something wrong?" Will asked her. He had been worried about her ever since they arrived at Tia Dalma's. She barely said a single word up till now. "Is there something you need to tell me?"

"No," she lied. She looked down and bit her lower lip.

"Oh, I am under the impression that you do have something to tell me," Will told her and gulped. He tried looking straight into her eyes, but she wouldn't let him. "Elizabeth ... I saw you and Jack," he muttered slowly.

Elizabeth gasped slightly and looked up at him, for the first time not hesitating to make eye contact. "Will," she breathed out.

"Look, I understand if you don't love me anymore -" Will started to say, but Elizabeth interrupted him.

"No Will it's not like that!" she told him as she took hold of his hands and gulped. She was not sure about how she felt anymore. True, she did trick Jack Sparrow so that she could tie him to the mast, but that doesn't change the fact that Elizabeth truly liked Jack, and that the compass couldn't stop pointing in his direction whenever it was in her hands.

"Oh no? Then what was it, huh?" Will asked her. His tone sounded harsh, but he wasn't really angry. Actually, he felt rather sorry for himself.

Elizabeth bit her lower lip and looked away. She couldn't tell Will the truth, or she would have to admit that she was the one to kill him. Right now, Elizabeth was having a tough time dealing with this situation. She couldn't yet accept the fact that she had become a murderer; a murderer who killed a good man. Even though Jack was a pirate, she believed that he was a good man. After all, he had come back to the Black Pearl to save them from the Kraken. Jack had changed Will and Elizabeth's destiny for his selfish needs, but that didn't stop Elizabeth from having feelings for him.

Will was just about to open his mouth to say something, when Gibbs shouted, "Land ahoy!" Both him and Elizabeth went over to them to make port at Tortuga.

Tortuga was a mess as always. Drunk pirates staggered everywhere to try and get some prostitute to sleep with them. It was the worst place that Elizabeth had ever been to, and if it wasn't for the fact that she didn't want to remain inside the ship all alone, she wouldn't have set foot on this island again. Gibbs had already made his way to the nearest tavern; a one which Elizabeth had dressed as a male pirate and fought with the citizens there, including Norrington.

She froze when she thought of Norrington. Last time she had seen him, he was carrying the chest in his arms to try and draw Davy Jones' crew to let the others escape. Elizabeth had no doubt that they had killed him, but the shock of the truth was coming to her just now.

Will glanced back at her when she just stared at nothing and wouldn't move. He frowned. "Elizabeth, are you OK?" he asked her.

Elizabeth snapped out of her trance and forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm fine," she told him, and followed the rest of the crew inside the tavern.

There was a havoc as usual; but luckily enough there wasn't any major fights going on. Gibbs had already disappeared in hope of finding pirates to join their crew. He had spent a lot of time in Tortuga and knew a lot of pirates there. Barbossa could already be found with a mug of rum in his hands, while Tia Dalma was looking around her, or rather observing every man and woman that passed. Ragetti and Pintel had also ordered themselves a mug of rum each, and Will and Elizabeth didn't seem to have enough energy to do anything. They just stood in the doorway, and Elizabeth was getting nervous already.

A drunk pirate staggered towards Elizabeth and grinned. "Arr!" he exclaimed, showing all of his black teeth. Elizabeth was taken aback, especially by the alcoholic scent that escaped his mouth. Will grabbed her arm and carried her towards the others, who were sitting at a table. Only Gibbs was missing, who was still searching for men to join their crew.

Suddenly, Tia Dalma flashed a wide smile and stood up. A woman who was passing by stopped and looked at her. The others noticed happiness in her eyes. "Tia!" she exclaimed and hugged the latter.

"Why, Akila! I thought I'd never see ye again," Tia replied as she returned the hug.

"Aye, me too!" She looked at the other crew, as if noticing them for the first time. She then returned to look at Tia. "How be it that you left Pelegesto, hm?" she asked her.

"Well, we be in a need to find a friend," Tia said with a smile, putting emphasis on the word friend.

"Aye? And who be that friend?" Akila asked her in turn. The look in her eyes had turned mischievous now. She guessed that Tia and her friends were in for some kind of adventure.

"Captain Jack Sparrow," Tia hissed slowly and smirked. Akila opened her mouth slightly and gaped at Tia.

"Blimey, Captain Jack Sparrow, eh?" she repeated and grinned. Her gaze turned to the others, who were staring up at her, still wondering who she was. "You be in need of someone to join ye're crew?" she asked them.

"Aye," Barbossa said. "Welcome aboard your ship, Akila." He grinned.

Akila gasped and turned to look at Tia. Tia gulped and glared at Barbossa. "Tia, did ye give 'em me ship to sail on?" she asked her, even though she knew the answer.

"Well, ye left it in me hands, didn't ye?" Tia replied and shrugged. "We were in need of a ship, and yers is the only one I had."

"Bilge rat!" Akila cursed under her breath and went to fetch a mug of rum.
