The guards chained both men to the wall in different cells. Will looked as though he was completely defeated. He sank down to the floor dropping his hands as far as the chains would allow.

The guards laughed as they slammed the cell doors shut. "Bet you won't escape this time Turner," the guard said glaring at Will and leaving the two men.

"Will," Jack called, "Will."

"Leave me alone Jack. I don't want to talk."

"Then I'll do the talking. I know we've hit a small setback…"

"Small?"

"Well okay – maybe more than we bargained for but ye mustn't give up."

"And just why not Jack," Will staid burying his head in his hands.

"Ye forgot why we started this journey? Ye son and my family are in great danger and your giving up won't help. Ye son will become an orphan if ye just give up and do nothing."

"Alright Jack, I'll try. The rope hasn't tightened around my neck yet."

"Not yet Will, but soon enough," Elizabeth said walking into view.

"Elizabeth," Will said standing up with hope in his heart.

"Will, it's not the Elizabeth ye knew," Jack said reminding Will.

"I know Jack but something in her heart must be like my Elizabeth," Will tried to reason.

"And what's that supposed to mean," Elizabeth practically spat out.

"Elizabeth, this world is all wrong – I'm not from here. We were on the way to Bermuda when something strange happened. Elizabeth in my world, you and I were happily married and we even had a son, William."

"What kind of fool do you think I am to believe such a tale? Do you forget that I saw first hand your cruelty? Now you will experience mine."

"Elizabeth, please listen," Will pleaded.

"At dawn you will taken out and made an example. You will feel the whip on your back and be made to suffer," Elizabeth turned and walked away.

Jack and Will had very little sleep and dawn was fast approaching. Jack knew that there was no escape without help; he kept hoping that Gibbs and some men from the Pearl would come looking for them.

At dawn, two guards approached Will's cell and unlocked the door. They brought with them shackles to keep Will bound. They went in and started to led Will out of his cell. Jack stood up, "where are you taking him?"

"Seems Mrs. Norrington is going to stay true to her word. He's to be publicly whipped," the guard said pulling on Will's shackles as he walked up the stairs.

"Will me boy, remember don't give up."

"I know Jack. I'll try." Then Will was out of sight. Jack slid against the wall into a sitting position. His heart was full of anger, frustration and fear all at once.

Will was led up to a courtyard where there was two posts standing alone. There were metal rings on each post with shackles hanging down. There was no doubt in Will's mind that they were put there for him. They walked Will up to the post and undid the shackles he wore walking to the courtyard then each guard took one of Will's wrist and shackled them to the posts. Will looked up to see Elizabeth and James Norrington staring at him. James gave a small quick nod of his head and Will's shirt was torn away from his back.

"Elizabeth," Will said looking her straight in the eye, "please leave. It will pain me to know that you are watching."

"So by staying I get to cause you even more pain, what an extra bonus for me," Elizabeth said smiling at him.

The guard brought out a long whip and with a look from the Governor the man began to use it on Will. Will threw back his head in pain after the first strike. Elizabeth began to circle around Will watching as the guard put his arms back ready for the next strike. Will extended his chest trying to somehow escape the whip on his back. As Elizabeth walked to the other side of Will, she looked at his back.

"Stop! Stop it," Elizabeth cried out.

Will breathed a sigh of relief, maybe there was part of his Elizabeth in this woman.

"There should be a scar on your shoulder where you cut when we were children. And for that matter, where is the scar that should be on Jack Sparrow's face?"

"What are you talking about Elizabeth," James asked as he stepped up to where Elizabeth stood.

"When we were children, we were playing with swords and I accidentally cut his shoulder. We didn't want to get into any trouble so we didn't tell anyone. Well, it got infected and we finally had to tell my father. After the doctor gave us medicine, it finally healed but because of not getting stitches and the infection it left a large scar. It's not there anymore James."

"I don't believe it Elizabeth," James argued.

"Will, you said in your world things are different?"

"Elizabeth, this is one of their tricks. He's trying to trick us to let him go. You do remember what you did to your father. You were the witness who told us it was Will Turner."

Elizabeth's eyes hardened, "yes, of course you are right my husband. He must pay for father's death."

The hope in Will's eyes died.

"Continue on," James ordered the guard.

The guard began to whip Will again. After three more strikes, James had a guard take his wife home. She had seen Will being punished there was no reason to watch until the end.

After each additional strike, Will was finding it harder and harder not to scream out in pain. He was biting his lip so hard blood was beginning to trickle. He could feel the blood flowing down his back. He was finding it harder and harder to stand. Finally, after a couple of more strikes of the whip, blessed unconsciousness overtook him.

"Enough for now," James said to the guard, "put him back in his cell. We can continue this tomorrow." The guard nodded put down the whip. Two guards released him from his shackles and he collapsed into a heap on the ground. The picked him up roughly and began to drag him back to his cell.

Jack held the men coming and stood up to see an unresponsive and bloodied Will being dragged into his cell.

"Guess there be no need to chain him to the wall this time," the guard said laughing to the other guard.

"He needs help," Jack pleaded.

"Well he's not going to get it," the guard responded.

"At least let me help him."

"No need. Only a break before the Governor will call for him again."

Jack muttered under his breath. He would have killed them both with his bear hands if he had the chance. The guards left him looking helpless at his friend.

"Will. Will. Please answer me Will."

Will did not even more. Jack couldn't be sure but from the looks of the wounds he could see, it was a good thing that Will was unconscious. The boy was in very bad shape and if the guards were right and Norrington called for him again, Jack knew Will would not be alive much longer.

Sorry you had to wait for this chapter….hope it's worth it….
