-2 weeks later-

I was standing at the helm watching as my crew was working around on deck and a few sitting down to have them a few drinks of rum. The sun was now high in the sky and it was outrageously hot. I wipe some sweat from my forehead as I glance up as I hear a few of my crewmen laughing about something. I decide to pay them no mind as I continue to stand there thinking of Calypso. Oh how much I missed her. Her smell, her laugh, her kisses, I miss all that. I smile as I think about her, I have seemed more happier in a way when I am with Calypso then I was with Elizabeth. I guess it is because I get to see Calypso. But don't get me wrong I loved Elizabeth and still do, but she is mortal, I am not.

I start wondering how William is doing. He must be pretty mad at me for leaving without saying a proper goodbye. I know Elizabeth probably was or is. I just couldn't tell her face-to-face. It was hard enough to write that letter. I feel tears weal up in my eyes, but I push them back. I miss them a lot, but I know that hopefully Elizabeth has moved on, having the life she always wanted.

I look over to see my father walking up the stairs to the helm. He stands next to me and takes a deep breath, a smile appearing on his face. He looks over at me as he says; "I'm here to relieve you from the wheel if you would like, Captain." I return his smile and nod as I back away from the wheel. I walk to where I'm standing next to him, resting my hand on the wheel. "What has put you in such a fine mood, Father?" I ask still looking forward. I see out of the corner of my eye, him shaking his head, but he still wore a smile. "Dunno, just am." I give a slight chuckle as I slowly start walking away but I stop dead in my tracks, when I feel a cold chill run down my spine.

"William? Are you alright?" I hear my father ask me, worry in his voice. I slowly turn around so that I was facing him; I give him a confused look. Then I feel the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up, I put my hand on the back of my neck, trying to figure out what was going on. My father began walking over towards me, concern covering his expression. He put his hand on my shoulder, "Maybe you should set down." I just shake my head as the sensation died down. I remove my hand from the back of my neck. "It's gone now." I say, but no sooner did I say that, I feel a skull cracking pain in my head. I fall to my knees in brutal pain, grabbing my head in pain I let out a yell.

I feel someone put their hands on my shoulders but I am in too much pain to worry about who it is. I lay on the ground still holding my head. Then I see flashes of William and Elizabeth…

They are both tied up in chairs; Elizabeth has bruises and cuts all over her face. William has a tear stained face as he sits there, terrified for his life. Elizabeth looks up with hatred in her eyes. A man appears and he wears a wicked smile across his face. He bends down and grabs hold of Elizabeth's face, then gives her a forceful kiss on her lips. He yanks his hand back and looks at Elizabeth in the eyes. "Where is the chest?" he asks her in a terrifying tone of voice. Elizabeth keeps looking at him with hatred on her tanned face, then replies with the same amount of hatred in her voice, "I don't know where the bloody chest is!"

With that she receives a very burly slap across her face, nearly flipping her out of the chair. She slowly turns her head back towards him, spitting blood out onto the floor. "I killed him…throwing the chest in the ocean afterwards." She says as she returns his look. He gives her another wicked smile before leaving the room. William only looks at Elizabeth in horror and shock, as she looks at the ground in defeat.

I slowly open my eyes, grabbing my head for it still hurt a bit. I gradually look around at my surroundings, soon noticing that I was in my cabin, lying in my bed. "Your awake!" I hear my father yell from beside me, I quickly turn my head but find out that that was a bad mistake. My head began throbbing and I easily laid it back down on my pillow, closing my eyes hoping the pain would go away. He rushes over to my bed and sits down on the edge of it. I reluctantly open my eyes a little and look at him. He was looking at me with worry in his eyes.

I try to raise up but my father gently pushed me back down. "You need the rest after what happened." He said as he got up off the bed and went over to get some water. I close my eyes as I try and remember what happened.

Then it came to me like a bullet, within a second I remembered everything. I quickly jerk up from my bed, slipping my boots on and head out of my cabin before my father could say anything. As I walk out on deck my crew instantly looks at me with smiles, concerning looks, and confused ones. I run up the stairs leading to the helm and yell out to the crew, "Get this ship heading towards Tortuga, or it's the whip against your backs!" A little harsh but I am in desperate need to get to Elizabeth and my son. My crew quickly starts doing their duties, and we start heading in the direction of Tortuga. I can only hope I can make it there in time.

It was going on six hours now that I had told my crew to immediately start sailing towards Tortuga. I had been mostly pacing around the ship, anxiously hoping how soon we got there. But I stop at the bow of the ship, looking out at the sun as it set beneath the water, remembering what I saw in my vision like thing. "I killed him…" That cut real deep when I heard her say those words. 'She has a right of saying those words.' I think to myself. As I twirl my wedding band around my finger. I sigh as I think about how badly that must have hurt Elizabeth when Jack told her of my 'death'.

I close my eyes, letting the last of the suns raze warm me up, but only a little. I was slightly enjoying the piece and quiet until I hear footsteps approaching me. I give a regrettable sigh as I turn around to see who it is, my father. I offer him a slight sideways smile, but he seems to be lost in his thoughts. Raising my eyebrows a bit I turn my attention back to the sunset.

He walks over beside me and places his hands on the railing; I look down at his hands slightly and see that he is holding on to them so hard his knuckles are almost white. I glance up at his face to see that he was starring out at the sea, gritting his teeth. I clear my throat, but he continues to look out at the sea as if I wasn't even there. I roll my eyes and clear my throat once more; this time I get a different reaction. He swiftly turns his head in my direction as I motion for him to talk.

He sighs and turns back to looking at the horizon. I glance down at his knuckle to see that they were still white before I too look back out at the beautiful horizon. "I…I was worried about…you. You were just standing there and then…then you fell to the floor holdin' ya head like you were in pain. I didn't know what to do." He says with an unsteady voice. I look down at my hands, unsure of what to say. He gently places a hand on my shoulder, "Are you alright, son?" I look over at him and give him an unclear smile. I didn't know if I should tell him about what I had seen or not. I was I guess you could say afraid that I was turning into some lunatic.

He gives my shoulder a reassuring pat before he reluctantly turns and begins walking away. "I saw Elizabeth." I whisper, only loud enough so he could hear, as I look back at the ground. He stops and turns to face me. I look up from the ground and turn my gaze towards him. He wears a puzzled expression as he slowly walks back over to me. I look away from his gaze and stare back out at sea. "I saw them tied up…men asking her questions about the chest." I whisper once more. He eases a bit closer to me. "Them?" he asks me as I glance back at him then to my hands on the railing.

"William." I say just above a whisper. I feel tears ominous to fall but I hold them back. I see him tensing up in anger out of the corner of my eye. He walks over to the railing, grabbing it as hard as he could once more. After a few moments he finally breaks the silence. "No one and I mean no one threatens my grandson!" there was anger and fear within those words. I grimace, as he slams his fist against the railing. I do not believe I have ever seen him so angry. I was angry too, yes, but I have sort of learned how to control my anger, but him on the other hand, hadn't. I have learned to wait and release my anger on those who were the ones to make me mad in the first place instead of taking it out on the railing.

"Father, wait for the opportune moment to release your anger." I say as I try my best to reassure him. He looks at me awkwardly as I raise my eyebrows, motion my head towards the railing he had just punched. He sighs in defeat as he trudges off below deck. I groan in frustration as I noticed that the sun has set and that stars were shinning bright. I reluctantly begin walking back into my cabin. When I reach my cabin I glance back up at the stars one last time before I enter my cabin and fall into a very troubled sleep.

I am jerked from my thinking when I hear a knock at the door. "Come in." I say as I set up in bed and wipe my hand down my face. My father walks in with an emotionless face and say, "Tortuga's in sight." Then he leaves closing the door a little to hard for my liking. I quickly run out on deck and jump on the railing looking over the edge of the ship; there was happy Tortuga not far from us. Jumping off of the railing I anxiously run up to the helm and see my father, still wearing an emotionless face. I slowly place my hand on his shoulder; he glance at me and smiles then looks ahead. "Almost ready to release that anger." I whisper as I take the wheel from him, I see him wearing a wicked yet funny smile as he walks down on deck, readying the ship for anchoring.

It wasn't long until we reached Tortuga. My anger was finally showing as I walk down on deck to join my crew. I narrow my eyes as I look at the extremely wild Tortuga. I look back at my crew; they all had rather angry expressions. "Half of you come with me, the rest of you stay here and guard the ship!" I declare, the anger clearly showing in my voice. I point to one of my crewmembers, "John, you are to take command of this ship in my absence." He simply nods as I turn back around heading towards the starboard side of the ship. I look over at my father who is more the anxious to get out there and kill who ever are threatening my son. I nod to him and he returns it. I am first to jump in the water then my crew falls right behind me.

As soon as I hit the water I am immediately materialized on land. It being dark was a very good advantage for sneaking around. I impatiently wait for my crew to get ashore. When they do we all split up into group, except for me, I wished to go alone. Even though my father disagreed. I wouldn't hear any of it. I watch as my crew all walked in different directions and I finally turn and start walking into the crazy town of Tortuga.

Hoped you guys liked it. I'm kind of not sure where I'm going with this story but I just hope it turns out alright!
