I don't own Pirates!!

A few weeks had past and not a word of William's whereabouts. I was worried we would never find him, but I wasn't about to give up. I had hardly spoken to Elizabeth since we started the whole search. I wondered how she was taking the whole ordeal. She stays on the Black Pearl with Jack all the time, no doubt entertaining him. He probably just loves her presents, well he is almost certainly still a little nervous, considering she did kill him once. I let a slight smile creep on my face at the memory of our journey to retrieve Jack from Davy Jones' Locker.

I give the wheel over to my father and walk to the bow of the ship and marvel at the magnificent horizon. I close my eyes to enjoy the cool breeze that was blowing. Then I hear someone place his or her hand on my shoulder, gently. I swirl around, slightly started, for I didn't hear them walking up to me. Instinctively, I place my hand on the hilt of my sword as I turned. Years of being a pirate has taught me to never let my guard down for too long, and to never go anywhere without my sword at my side. As I turn I meet the surprised face of none other than Elizabeth Turner's.

I see her eyes travel to my hand that had hold of my sword and then look back to my face. I relax and move my hand away from my sword. "Sorry." Is all I say to her motioning towards my sword. "Force of habit." I finish saying, then turn back to look at the horizon once more. She says nothing as she stands next to me, looking down at the sea as it washes up against the ship. We stand there in silence - not too uncomfortable - for a few short minutes, until she finally breaks the silence, by asking. "What are we going to do?"

My only response was silence. I tighten my grip on the rope I had been holding onto. I really didn't have any bright ideas for finding William faster, I wish I did, but I didn't. And that only made the circumstances worse. I hear her give a light sigh, as if she was about to give up. I look over and her eyes are closed with tears beginning to run down her face. I take one more glance out to sea then turn and give Elizabeth a hug while saying, "Don't worry we will find him. I will never give up, never." With that she looks up at me and give a weak smile, and whispers gently, "I know." I smile back at her to try and give her a bit more hope, but it was cut short as I noticed her eyes were closed again and her lips were only inches from mine.

Some part of my brain was telling me to kiss her while the other was telling me not to. 'Why me?' I think to myself. But I didn't have an answer for it. I loved Elizabeth and Calypso. But I knew I couldn't have them both. I close my eyes and give a sigh of pure defeat as I release my hug on her and take a step back. She opens her eyes and looks at me, confused. "I can't. I just…can't do this, Elizabeth. Its not fair to you." Is all I managed to say. She opens her mouth to protest, but I cut her off by putting my hand up. "Your only mortal. I'm not anymore. You deserve someone who can be there for you all the time and comfort you. I can't do that."

Before she is able to say anything, I walk off and into my cabin, completely and utterly defeated.

Calypso was gone to fairy souls for me so I could continue my search for my son. People think she is so cruel and selfish, but I think of her as quite generous and compassionate. I lay on my bed, trying to clear my mind. I had to fully concentrate on getting William back home safe and sound. Oh God, I hoped I wasn't too late. I wince at the thought of William being severely hurt or worse. I quickly stop thinking about all the negative things and begin racking my brain with ways to find William.

Possibly an hour or two had passed and I was still in my cabin, at my desk, trying to conjure up something to find my son. When I hear a knock on my door, I groan at the disturbance and get up from my chair and go to the door. I open the door and ask "What?" but it came out a bit harsh, which I was not meaning to sound harsh, I was just a little annoyed that I was disturbed. It was my father who quickly said, "We have spotted a ship on the horizon and it seems there is a boy on board that is gagged and tied to the mast, Captain." At those words it was like a weight had been lifted off my chest and a new feeling of hope washed over me. Maybe I was going to finally find my son after weeks of searching without any luck.

I know its been awhile since I last updated this story and I know it's short, I'm sooo sorry!! But hey, its an update and Will might have finally found his son. Please leave reviews and tell me what you think! ;)
