Aphrodite found herself locked in Captain Ares cabin. She was truly frightened – she thought she had prepared herself for this eventuality but she was wrong. The only comforting thought was that Ares had not harmed Will or anyone else on the Pearl and Will's son was now back with his father.

She recalled waking up next to Will after the strange lights, both of them bound. It was only when Will began to protest about Ares coming near her that he gagged both of them. Ares said he was not going to listen to her lover at all.

She began to long for the feel of Will's strong arms around her. She smiled as she recalled her passionate kiss. Suddenly the door flew open and then Captain Ares turned to shut the door and lock it. Her smile quickly disappeared as she began to back away from him. She looked around trying to find anything to use as a weapon.

"Stay away from me."

"Now is that any way to greet your lover?"

Aphrodite's jaw dropped, "No, this can not be true. I may not remember my past but I hardly think I'd be involved with the likes of you."

Ares laughed and looked at her eyes and her reaction as he came closer – "You really don't remember me. Well darling you were and will be once again my lover." He reached for her and she backed away; not giving up, he grabbed her and kissed her. She fought against him and when he finally released her, she slapped his face with all her might.

"Will is going to rescue me – I just know it."

"Let him," he laughed, "you don't know who I am do you?" Aphrodite shook her head. "I'm Ares – the god of war. If the Pearl tries to follow I have my own group of pirates to attack them. They are ready - just waiting for them."

Aphrodite looked at the man in shock. He took a step towards her again and once again she turned away.

"Something to remember my dear is that regardless if the Pearl tries to rescue you or not. If you do not warm up to me and soon, I will track down your Will Turner and kill him myself." Ares unlocked the door and stormed out leaving Aphrodite to try and sort all of it out alone.

She began to let the tears flow freely now that she was alone. What had she done by getting involved with Will? Had she condemned him to death? And even more discomforting was the fact that it appeared that she had a dark past.

I know it's a short chapter….next one will be longer….
