Hola! I know how I want this to end, so I'm gonna try and
update as quickly as I can.

Hope you guys enjoy.

You review and:

1) I will be happy.
2) If your captain is happy, you are happy.
3) You get a cookie.
4) And you get the pet the monkey!

Aw! Jack the monkey! YAY!

And just letting you know. I've been getting some messages about Elizabeth.
I have nothing against you Willabeth shippers, but I'm not one of them.
Just giving you the heads up if I decide to keep writing Pirates fics.

Don't hurt me... -shudders-

The two carefully walked out of the cavern. They were silent as they walked down the path, neither knowing what to say.
Davy eventually said, in a tone about the one that of a whisper, "I want you to know that I'm sorry."

"For what?" Michelle asked, falling in sync with her father's steps once more.

"For everything. Taking you away from your mother. Lying to you."

"You didn't lie to me if you didn't know the truth."

"I did know the truth." Davy said in response to her. "Darling, I didn't want you to get hurt. And truthfully, knowing that Robert was your father and not me, I didn't want to get hurt by losing you."

Michelle smiled as she walked down the path, kicking a rock as she went, "Daddy, you never would have lost me. Your the only father I've ever had. We may not be related by blood, but you are my father." Everything was silent once more, before she said, "Did you know about Elizabeth and me?"

"About you being the Pirate King? No. I knew that Miss Swann was related to you, but I didn't know about the 'curse' or whatever it is he says you have. Apparently, neither did you mother."

"She still loves you." Elle whispered, wishing she hadn't said that. When Davy turned to look at her, she said, "She told me."

Davy quickly changed the subject as he motioned for her to change directions, she turned left as he said, "I'm sure Master Turner has told you about me killing him." Elle didn't respond. "Why aren't you upset with me for that? You should be."

"Mother always taught me that everything happens for a reason." Was Elle's reply. "If you hadn't killed Will, Will would have died anyways before I had a chance to meet him. And for that, why should I be mad at you? You brought me him."

Davy smiled as he looked at her. She had walked a little ways ahead of him, her sun-kissed curls bouncing as she walked.
"You amaze me." He called out to her. She stopped, and turned to face him as she asked, "Why's that?"

"Because-" He said, walking up to meet her. "-even after all the hell you've been thru in your life, you still remain optimistic and cheerful about everything."

She smiled, a smile he recognized as Calypso's, "Someone has to be." He began walking again, and she followed while saying, "I mean, when your on Captain Jack Sparrow's ship, you've got to be. If you're not, any sane person will go completely mad."

She twirled the key around on her finger, before putting it back around her neck. She would never give that key up. Ever.
They would have to kill her for it, and she had already told herself that she would die trying to save this key.

"Where exactly are we going?" Ellie asked her. Davy didn't answer, and kept walking down the dark path. "Dad."
He turned his ice cold, yet to her somehow loving, blue eyes in her direction and said, "You've got to get off this island."

"Daddy, I'm not leaving Jack. And I'm certainly not leaving Will. I'm not letting Robert get away with this." Davy was some how comforted by the fact that she had called her real father 'Robert', but him, a man that was never fit to ever be a father, she considered him hers. He gave in to those gorgeous, innocent emeralds. Turning to her, and taking hold of both her shoulders, he said in a low tone of voice, "Listen to me. I'm going to help you, but you must do as I say, nothing more or less. Understand?"

She nodded and threw her arms around him, "I love you."

He closed his tired eyes as he whispered back words he hadn't said in more years than he could count, "I love you too."

"The place where the suns rises three times..." Will repeated for the millionth time that night. Well, actually, now it was early morning. Jack, who had been taking giant steps as he walked, turned to Will and said, "Mate, no matter how many times ya say it-" He leaned closer to Will. So close that Will could smell the rum on his breath, "-it's not going to magically appear."

Will glared at Jack for a moment. Jack smiled sweetly before saying, "Alls we gotta do is find that stupid amethyst before Eric does."

"And find Michelle before she's killed."

Jack tilted his head, trying to register what Will had just said. Then smiling, he replied, "Aye. That too." He turned back to Will and asked, "Where is the compass pointing, Cap'n Turner?" He raised his hand in mock salute.

Tyring to ingore Jack, which was very hard, Will said, "I don't know...it's keeps spinning around like it can't find her." Will was soon walking in circles. Jack watched him with amusement as he sat down on the white sand. He was making a little castle, putting a stick at the top with a leaf as it's flag, when Will stomped on it.

"Oi! Will, what the bloody 'ell..." He sadly looked at the crumbled mess. "..you ruined it." Jack stared at it like a three year old staring at his dead pet fish. Will watched Jack with a mixture of sadness and amusment.

"Jack, honestly. This bloody thing is broken." Will said, tossing the compass into the sand. Jack eyed Will for a moment, before rebuilding his castle and saying, "Who are you really thinking of?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean-" Jack said, putting his little flag at the top of the castle once more, "-when I gave you my compass a few nights ago, hoping that it would land on this island, the compass landed on Michelle everytime you opened it." He shrugged and said, "Call me crazy- don't you even think about commenting on that- but I don't think you can fall out of love with someone that quickly, mate."

Will bit his lower lip as he sat beside Jack in the sand, watching the waves get ever so closer to Jack's castle. Jack didn't care, because now he was writing carefully on the side up it 'Pearl'. When he was done, Jack turned his dark eyes back on Will and said, "I know who it is."

Will didn't answer. Jack knew lots of stuff just by looking at Will. Will didn't know that if it was because all the times those two have been together weeks at a time at sea, or if Jack was just very good at knowing things.

"Mate, you still love her. But you're not in love with her. There's a difference." Jack pointed out, leaning back on his elbows. "Lizzie wouldn't want you, a century later, still beating yourself up over this. She would want you to be happy."

Will smiled as he looked out, watching the sun rise. "And what would that be?"

"Who would that be." Jack corrected him, smiling, "And I think you should close your eyes...imagine her...and let the compass do its job."

Will took the compass that Jack was holding out for him. He was about to close his eyes when he stoped.

"Jack...look..." Will said. When Jack looked confused, Will pointed to the actual sun rising, "One..." There was glass broken, almost appearing to be a mirror and the sun's reflection was on it. "...two..." Then he pointed to the ocean's reflection. "...three.."

Jack got up, not caring (or simply not seeing) that his castle was destroyed and said, "Welcome to Dead Man's Shore, Mr. Turner." Jack looked back down at Will and said, "Now that we know where it is, I think you have something you need to be doing."

Will rolled his eyes, but soon closed them and pictured Elle. "Mate?" He heard Jack call. Jack smiled and said, "I think we have our have found our heading." He pulled Will up and said, "We need a trail of some sorts to lead us back."

"No time. " Will said, shaking his head, following the needle. "You have a good memory. Just remember things as we go along."

"Rightio." Both Jack and Will were shocked by Jack's sudden outburst. Jack smiled and said, "I never said that."
"Good." Will said, turning back around and walking down the path. "And I never heard it."

Jack followed Will, and said, "That's good to know."

Tired, Michelle followed her father down the path they had been walking on for what seemed like hours now. She sighed as he walked faster and called out, "Daddy? Where are we going exactly?"

"The cave." Davy called out as he continued to walk. They had been walking since late the night before, and now, being around nine in the morning, Michelle felt as if her legs were going to fall off. "We need to get there and kill him before his 'henchmen' get there and before his powers weaken."

"But he can still turn us to stone. Shouldn't we wait until his powers weaken?" Michelle asked, surprised by the fact that she had actually caught up to her father. He shook his head, and said, "No. When Baldez cursed your fath...Robert, he took away his strength as well. Long story short, the man as of right now is completely harmless. That's why he rose us from the grave. To fight for him."

"He wants to be immortal."

"Beg your pardon?"

"If his curse is weakining, then so is his immortality. That why he has Will's heart." Michelle said, stopping to look at her father. "He promised you the heart, but he wasn't ever going to give it to you. He was going to stab it himself, and become immortal again."

That piece of the puzzle that had, fromt the very beginning of this adventure, never fit now fit perfectly. Like every other pirate in the seven seas, Robert feared death and what would happen to him. Like all pirates, Robert wanted to live forever.

And why not stab Will's heart, get a ship and become immortal?

Elle and Davy exchanged glances.

Then someone's loud voice interrupted the thought-filled silence.

" 'Let's go left', he says. 'Let's bloody fall into quick sand!' THAT'S AN AMAZING IDEA!" A thud, like the person speaking was just hit in the stomach, interrupted the man as the other man said, "It stopped."

"What stopped?" The first man asked, grumpily.

"The compass." Their footsteps grew closer as the second man said, "It stopped."

"Well-" Jack said, pushing himself thru the bushes. "-that could be because she's right on top of us." He raised his head and stared at Ellie for a moment. Surprised, since he had been only joking, he said, "Found her."

She ran up to him and threw her arms around him. He laughed, "Nice to see you too, love."

"I thought you died." She whispered against his sand covered shoulder. "What the hell happened to you?"

His glare turned murderous as he brushed off some quick sand and asked, "Why don't you ask your fiancee?"

Just as he said that, a second man appeared out of the bushes. He brused himself off, and then looked up to meet her gaze. He smiled, and she ran over to him and kissed him. He wrapped her arms tightly around her as Jack grumbled, "All I got was a hug."

Elle smiled as she pulled back from Will and said, "I love you."

"He loves you too, believe me. That's all I've bloody heard for the past eleven hours." Jack groaned, but immediatley smiled when he saw the look on Davy's face. He turned back to Michelle and asked in a whisper, "Why's fish face here?"

"Because, he's helping us."

"Oh here we go again." Jack mumbled. He looked over at Will and said, "If he's going to get stabbed again, can I please not be here to witness it? It was a disgusting thing to watch." Jack sat down on a tree stump, and said to her, "You have no idea."

Elle, not paying any attention as Jack rambled on, "I think Robert wants your heart."

"Oh." Jack said in a sarcastic tone. "So, I'm not the only queer man on this island."

Elle shot a glare in Jack's direction and said, "Jack, just be quiet for one moment, alright? No one called you queer. No one has in a long time. And if you continue to say that about yourself, then we will have no choice but to believe that it is true."

Jack smiled at her, as if he was really interested, and said, "You like to hear yourself talk, don't you?"

"Look who's talking." She shot at him, then she turned back to Will. "He promised daddy that he could have your heart once this was all done but he was never going to give it to him. His powers are weakening which means that his immortality is too. He wants your heart to become immortal. That way, he can become Pirate King after he kills me and ruler of the sea once he has the amethyst."

Will took this all in, as Jack said, "Still talking, aye, Princess?"

"Jack, shut up." She groaned, looking at him. "Please? Is it really that hard for you to do?"

"Yes. It is, love."

She rolled her eyes, but Will said, "That actually makes sense. What are we going to do?"

"Daddy's helping us." She said, hesitantly. "We're going to attack Robert when he doesn't expect it, kill him, get the amethyst and get off this Godforsaken island as fast as we can."

Will looked up at Davy, then back to Elle. He nodded and said, "Let's be on our way then."

Jack gapped as the three walked past him and said, "Hold on, Willy. Let me get this straight-"

"Did he just call you Willy?" Elle asked. Jack made a face at her, then said to Will, "This man kills you, makes your life hell, and now you want to join forces with him to defeat Lord StoneFingers? What the hell is wrong with you?"

"He's in love." Was Davy's reply.

Will just looked at Jack, knowing that Jack should have known this.

"You coming or not, Sparrow?" Davy hissed, taking a threatening step towards Jack. "Because need I remind you that you were the one that killed me. But why on earth am I willing to join forces with you?"

"Because you're in love with Will too." Jack said, smiling. But his smile was wiped clean off of his face when he saw Davy's glare darken. When Elle put a hand on his, Davy said, "I love Michelle as well. And for that I am willing to work with the likes of you."

"I love her as well so I'm willing to work with the fishy likes of you." Jack said, in a snooty tone as he walked ahead of them. He turned to Michelle and said, "Well, aren't you the universal peacemaker?"

"So it would seem." Elle said in a far from happy tone of voice. "So, we're all agreed that we're all in this together and no one's is going to try and knock anyone's head off, or cut out their heart, or do anyone any bodily harm."

Jack smiled a golden-toothed smile, and said, "I can't make that promise, love." Elle glared at him. He rolled his dark brown eyes and said, "Fine! I promise. It's agreed. But I'm not happy about it one bit."

Will sighed as he massaged his temples, "The faster we get to the cave, the better."

The two of them unwillingly followed the two enemies down the path, and as usual, trying to block Jack's ramblings out.
