Thanks guys. Sorry, I just needed some reassurance is all. :)
Thankies guys!
So, here's your update for making me happy!

Oh, and someone said it should be in Will's POV...well...
I may put on chapter in his, but I named it 'Distressin' Damsel' because I loved that quote from AWE, and
I thought it'd be weird if it was in a guy's POV...

But anyways, thanks guys!
I feel better!

Oh, and this chappie...
If you're a Willabeth shipper, unlike me :) , don't kill me.
In my story, something did happen between Jack and Elizabeth. More than the kiss, though Will forgave her and
they got married and blah blah blah.
But, I just wanted to point out that Liz and Jack did have a little relationship somewhere in between these movies. Probably during DMC.

Ok, moving right along.
I hope you like it!
It's kind of a long pointless chapter, but I thought some parts were kind of cute.
And parts of this chapter contain a certain subject that is tough for all couples to talk about...
Yes, that.
It's kind of unusual for me to dedicate a whole chapter to this subject (LOL) but in order for me to develop the storyline,
I had to.
Yeah, soo...

He had no idea where the bloody hell we were going. I knew that from the moment that we stepped out of that inn he had no idea where we were going. Because that was Jack. Jack never had a clue what the hell he was doing, but somehow, it always ended up perfect.

But that made me wonder. How many times can he have no idea what he was doing, and it turn out perfectly? There has to be at least one time that it ends out horrible...and I was silently praying that it wasn't this time. Though my heart was telling me otherwise.

We had been riding in that stupid carriage for at least two hours. Maybe even more. For the most part, it had been silent. But that was only because Sara was still staring at Will. Will was cursing Jack under his breath. I was glaring at Sara for staring at Will and Jack was mumbling to himself. Which, all in all, was pretty much what a normal day for us was.

"Jack, where are we going?" I finally asked before the carriage hit a bump sending me flying into the air. Will reached out and grabbed me so I would fall out of the stupid thing. I smiled at him, trying to hide my flaming cheeks, and turned back to Jack.

"We're going to his old home that resides in La Pequeña Ciudad. We should be there in a few hours." When he saw me groan, he said, "Well, love. We've got to do what we've got to do...and if I am right-"

"-which he never is." Will muttered softly so that only I could hear him. I smiled up at him, before quickly getting rid of my smile, and turning back to Jack who said, "-my uncle's map leading to the book's location should be in this house."

"Jack, darling?"

"Hmmm?"

"Can I ask you something?" When he nodded, I asked, "Why didn't your uncle just hide the map and the key in the house?"
Jack smiled as he stuffed his compass back into his belt and said, "Well, dearie, that would defeat the purpose of a map now wouldn't it?" Will made a snorting sound and looked out the window. I shook my head, not entirely surprised. I mean, he was related to Jack. Only someone related to Jack would do something that...

Made sense.

I rolled my eyes, and stared at the compass. Thoughts had been running thru my mind...like why hadn't the compass pointed to Will when I was in the pub the day before? It pointed to the deck where...

Jack was.

I gasped rather loudly, causing Will and Jack to turn and look at me. Sara, of course, hadn't come out of the Captain Will land sent she set sail back in the inn two hours ago. The boys, on the other hand, turned and looked at me with concern.

I just smiled it off, and said, "Corset. Sorry."

"I thought I fixed it." Will said, raising an eyebrow. I swear that man can read me like a book. It's really unnerving sometimes. I just lowered my gaze and looked out the other window. I could still feel Will's gaze on me as I did this.

Another hour went by, and the carriage finally stopped. It was, like it was named, a small town. La Pequeña Ciudad was written on the broken sign in fancy letters. Jack had somehow managed to pull Sara out of the carriage. I walked out before Will, hoping he wouldn't bring it up...oh, but of course he did.

"Just follow me, gent and ladies." Jack said the word 'ladies' with a wink that I wasn't sure if it was directed at me or Sara. But at that moment, I could really care less since a slightly annoyed voice from behind me called out, "Elle?"

I cringed at the sound of his voice as he said, "I think we need to talk."

"About what?" I managed to squeak out as he came to stand beside me. No longer wearing his bandana, Will pulled his ringlets back and lowered those gorgeous eyes down at me. I felt my throat dry up as he said, "I think you know what."

What did I know? I didn't know anything. Not anything at all. He apparently thought I did, but I didn't...

"Elle." Will said in a somewhat accusing voice, "What happened between you and Jack in Tortuga that summer?"

Oh. Okay. Not what I was expecting, but good.

"Nothing, really." I whispered, kicking a pebble down the stone streets. I glanced up to see that Jack and Sara were some distance away from us so they couldn't hear us, but close enough that I did lower my voice some. I could feel Will watching my every move. Did he really not trust me? "I mean, my mother just said it was a case of puppy love is all."

I, for the first time in this conversation, voluntarily looked up into Will's eyes to see that they were filled with something I hadn't seen before. I laughed, though not pleasantly, as I said, "You don't think that I-"

"I don't know what to think." Will said, running his hand thru his hair as was his custom when he was nervous or frustrated. "The compass obviously didn't point to me back in the pub, Elle. I'm not stupid."

"I never said that you were." I said, not in a nice voice as I glanced up at the town. The rain clouds from the day before were moving out and it was becoming a very pretty day in Spain. The older buildings that lined these streets were run down. Some of the signs were broken. It seemed as if whoever left this town was in a huge hurry. But I could tell that this town used to be very pretty.

"Well, kindly stop acting like I am." Will said in an angry whisper. That made me stop and turn around to face him. I shook my head as I looked into his unchanging chocolate eyes and said, "Will, I am not Elizabeth." I laughed bitterly, "So kindly stop acting like I am."

I turned around and walked away from him. I could hear him inhale deeply as his running footsteps caught up with me. He was walking closely behind me as he said, "Elle, I'm sorry. I lost the girl I loved to him before-" He took my hand and pulled me back so he could whisper in my ear, "-I didn't want to lose someone to him again."

I turned around to face him as I said, smiling, "Darling, you're not going to lose me, alright? I'm not going anywhere." I pushed a curl out of his face and said in a whisper, "You've just got to trust me, love."

"I do trust you." He said, looking up. I couldn't tell, but I'm sure he was glaring at Jack as he said, "I don't trust him. And don't get mad, darling but-" We had started to walk again, and he said clearly smirking, "I know what you're like when you have a bit too much rum."

"Ha ha." I said, forcing a clearly fake smile. I rolled my eyes as I continued to walk, determined not to look into Will's smiling face as I said, "I'm going to pretend that I didn't hear that and that you didn't say it."

"Fair enough." Will said, planting a kiss on my cheek. "And I'm sorry."

"Don't be." I said back up to him. I was about to kiss him, but stopped myself when I looked over Will's shoulder and saw Jack waving frantically at me. I sighed and said, "Perfect timing."

Will laughed and took my hand. We walked over to where Jack was standing. It was a small section where four roads crossed. Jack nodded up a huge hill and said, "That is his mansion."

We couldn't see it up the hill. The hill was that big. I was seriously starting to wonder if it was a hill or a mountain.
Yes...it was that big.

"Oh my-" I turned to look at Jack and said, "We're not going to walk up it, are we?"

"No, love." Jack said smiling sweelty at me. "We're going to swim up it." For some reason, that made Will laugh. Considering that he was mad at him a few seconds earlier, I found that strange. But, welcome to the life of Jack and Will. They hate each other one minute, and the next minute, they're a team again. It's really stupid, but I've gotten used to it.

They hate each other because all they do is compete with each other. I'm serious. That is all they do.

"I'm not suppossed to be using my powers-"

"Elle." Will said in a warning voice as he looked at me. I smiled innoccently and said, "Will..." I pouted. It always got him...always...I even stuck out the trembling bottom lip...it didn't work.

"Michelle."

"Will."

"Saphira."

"William!"

We both stared at each other before I said, "It won't take a lot of it. I promise. And besides, it's almost been three months since mother told me not to use them. She was only doing so my immortality could come back. And it has. I'm sure of it anyway. Besides...I am not walking all the way up there..." I batted my eyelashed, "Unless you want to carry me."

I said that remembering what he said to me earlier that morning. But his stern face turned to one of amusement as he said, "What, or how are you going to get us up there. Because remember, I can just materilize up th-AH!" He held his stomach from where I just elbowed him. Wait, I don't think I elbowed him in the stomach.

Oops.

"MICHELLE!" I covered his mouth and pulled him over to the side and said in a harsh whisper, "Sara doesn't know!"

"I don't care if Sara doesn't know! You don't have to hit me in my-" He stopped momentarily, thinking. Then asked, "Why doesn't she know? She's your bloody cousin! Shouldn't she know?"

"I haven't gotten around to tell her yet." I had been looking down, but realizing that I was staring at..erm...I looked up and said, "I know that healing charm-" My face turned into a smirk. Will was such a gentleman, I knew he wouldn't like that.

"Saphira." He said, raising an eyebrow. He never called my first name unless he meant it. "You know that-"

"I know!" I said, sparing the speech that I had heard over and over and over again. "I was just trying to spare you the pain." He pushed himself off of the rock he had been leaning on. I was trying not to smile as Will limped, but it was a pretty funny sight. I sighed and said, "You know, love. The thing I don't understand is that you've been married before. Did you wait with Elizabeth?"

"Why on earth are we having this conversation?" He asked me as we started up the hill since Sara and Jack already decided not to wait for us. I shrugged, loving that I was annoying him. You'd have to see him. He was so adorable when he was annoyed.

"Because. I think we need to."

"Elle." He groaned. "Goodness."

"What?"

"Why do we need to have this conversation now? Couldn't we have it tonight? Wouldn't that be better?" He asked me, sending a look my way. I smiled and shook my head saying, "William Turner, you are the most difficult person I know. If I say 'Yes, let's have this conversation tonight' then you will say tonight 'Let's have it in the morning'. Then, we'll never have it."

"I don't want to have it period!"

"Oh-" I said, laughing as we continued to walk up that stupid hill. "-we're going to have it. And if you would just answer my question, then we could have been thru with it by now. But no. You have to be so bloody difficult that we don't have it and-" He brought me to him and kissed me hard on the mouth. I felt a tingling sensation, and a white light consumed us.

When he pulled back he said, "Sorry, but that was the only way I could get you to shut up." I gaped at him as he began to laugh and said, "Darling, I'm sorry. But when you get all upset over something you start talking so fast I can't hear you." He glanced around in shock. Realizing what I had done, he gaped in horror at me and said, "I cannot believe you did that."

I smiled as I sat down in one of the mansion's chairs and said, "Sorry, darling. But we needed to talk. And, since Jack and Sara won't make it to this mansion for quite a while, now would be the perfect time to do so." He glanced around Baldez's mansion almost with a scared look on his face.

Whether if it was because the mansion was pretty scary looking, or he really didn't want to have this conversation, I wasn't for sure. When he looked back down at me, I smiled at him and said, "I can materialize from place to place too. It just takes me some time."

He rolled his eyes as he sat down in front of me. Resting his head in his hands, he looked lazily and almost reluctantly up at me and asked, "You're not going to let me out of this, are you?"

"Probably not." I said, making shapes in the dust that was covering the dining room's table. I drew a little heart and looked back up at Will who was staring at me, waiting for me to say something. "So, why?"

"Why what?"

"Why are you being so stubborn?" He genuinely looked surprised at me. As if he honestly had no clue as to what I was asking him.
"What am I being stubborn about?"

"You know what you're being stubborn about!"

"If I knew what I was being stubborn about I would be asking you what I was being stubborn about!" He said in a clearly very annoyed voice. When I made a face, somehow it all clicked in his head. He sighed, leaning back into his chair and said, "Because."

"Because." I repeated. "Wow, Will. What an amazing answer. Because."

"Elle, don't."

"What am I doing?"

"You know what you were doing!"

I smiled and said to him in a calm and sweet voice, "If I knew what I was doing I wouldn't have asked you what I was doing."

Will stared at me for a very long time before lowering his eyes. He blew some dust off of the table and said, "We're going to have an interesting marriage. I can already tell."

I laughed and said, "Well, we wouldn't have if you would stop being so stubborn."

"Well, you're being annoying!"

"How am I being annoying!?"

"You know how you're being annoying!!" Will said, getting very very annoyed. I smiled in victory as I leaned back into my chair, waiting for him to say something. When he didn't, I said, "You never answered my question."

"Which one?" He asked with a bitter laugh. Ignoring his comment, I said, "Did you and Elizabeth wait?"

"Oh my goodness."

"Will! Answer the question!"

"Yes! I...I mean,...we did! Are you happy? I answered it for you!" I smiled as Will's cheeks turned red. He rolled his eyes again, leaning back into his chair once more and asked me, "Are you happy now?"

"No."

"Why ever not?"

"Because!"

"Elle!"

"Will!"

He was gapping at me as I just sat there with an expressionless face, waiting for him to talk. He groaned loudly and said, "This is-"

"It's not stupid."

"Yes it is."

"How is it stupid?"

Will just stared at me as if I had suggested to him that he should go and turn himself in to Barbossa. He got up from his chair, and walked out of the room. "Will!" I called after him as he walked out of the mansion. I followed him out, and once I looked out of the door I saw that Jack and Sara were still a long ways down the hill.

Will was standing on the deck that over looked the sea. I sighed, coming over to him and said, "Ok, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-"

"No, you shouldn't have." I was taken back at Will's harsh voice. He never talked to me like that. Ever. He must have realized that I was taken back, because he turned around and said in a softer tone, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have raised my voice."

"No, you shouldn't have." I said, quietly, coming to stand beside him. "Will, I'm sorry. I didn't know that it was such a...tough...subject for you." I looked up into his face to see if I was getting any reaction at all. When I didn't, I said, "I mean, if you really want to wait-"

"Ellie." Will turned back around to look at me. I saw a look in his eyes that I have never seen before since I had known him. He looked down and said, "I do want to wait."

"I know." I whispered, "That's why I said that I would." Even though I thought it was pointless. But, maybe our mother's just raised us differently. No, don't be getting in your mind that I am some Tortuga wench. I'm not. I didn't go throwing myself at any random man. I mean, I do have morals. And I've keep them. And I just thought that that was the reason Will wanted to wait. "If it's because of me-"

"It's not you." Will said, shaking his head. "Well, not all you. I mean, you're one of the reasons."

"Will, I love you." I said taking his hand. "And I'll wait."

"Do you promise me that?" He asked me in a toneless voice. Where on earth is he going with this? I was completely and utterly lost at this comment. Will looked down at me with an expressionless face, waiting for an answer. I laughed and said, "Darling, I think I'm going to have to. You're not giving me much of a choice." I was trying to make a joke of it, but apparently to Will it was much more serious.

"Will, I'm sorry. I-" I stopped when he turned away from me and stared down into the sea. "What are trying to say to me?"

Will sighed and turned to look at me with a sad face, "I waited for her-" He stopped, and his eyes that were once focused on me, were now really not focusing on anything. "-she didn't wait for me."

I opened my mouth to speak, but Will just shook his head and walked off of the balcony, leaving me alone and thinking. I leaned against the railing, waiting until he got down the stairs before leaving to catch up with him. When I did, I took his hand and was about to say something, when a girl's giggle rang out from behind us. Then a man's voice said in an amused voice, "Oh, sorry. Bad time?"

Will turned away from me, still holding my hand and said, "No. Not at all."

Sara stopped smiling, and turned to look at me. I moved so that I was standing beside Will. Jack walked out of the shadows and looked at us rather suspiciously as he asked, "How on earth did you two get up here so fast?"

"Sea turtles, mate." Will said, letting go of my hand and walking into the mansion again. Jack made a disapproving sound as Will did this, and asked me, "What's wrong with William?"

I shrugged, looking in the direction that Will had just walked, but knowing clearly what was bothering him. I looked up into Jack's eyes, and all I could hear was Will saying, "I waited for her, but she didn't wait for me."

I wasn't for sure, but I had a pretty good idea of what he was talking about.

☼ ☼ ☼ ☼
I have anyone mad at me?
I hope not.
I'm sorry, but I had to do this to develop my...I guess you could call it...sub-polt of the story.
A weird, totally unlike me chapter, but I thought Will was cute embarrassed. LOL.
Review, dah-lings.
And I promise, next chappie won't be as erm...uncomforable for Willy.
