"I can't believe you locked Saphira up in the ship, Jack." Lila whispered harshly as the two of them followed Grant and Bootstrap into the deserted castle. For it being morning, it was rather dark. Dark with a mixture of rain clouds and smoke from the battle going on just on the sea a few feet away from them. Every now and then, an explosion would go off, making Lila cringe as she tried not to think about who could have been on that ship at that moment.

Will.

"She's in good hands, love." Jack said in a tone that made Lila believe that he was just trying to make himself feel better. True enough, she was safer on that ship than she was out here in the open. Both of them knew that. But as a matter of fact, you weren't safe really anywhere on this island. In the Caribbean. Because somewhere someone was at war. Lila closed her eyes momentarily, but opened them up when Jack put a comforting arm around her. She only had one thing on her mind. Not the war, not her crown. Not even her baby.

Will.

What was he really doing? Was he safe? And what the bloody hell did he promise Beckett? Was it really her? Or maybe had he promised his heart so that Beckett truly could be immortal? Would he do that for her safety? Did she really have to ask herself that? Of course he would. He would die for her. He had told her countless times before. He would do anything if it meant that she would remain safe. He loved her.

She felt a tear roll down her cheek, causing Jack to look down at her and say, "Lala?" Lila wiped her eyes and smiled up at Jack. She had been about to say something to Jack, but she never got a chance to, because Grant said, "Bootstrap? You and Lila shall be going to find Miss Bella, Jack and I will go find William-"

"-No, I'm going to find William. Being his fiancee and his dad, I think we should go." Lila said, pulling her long golden-brown curls back. She tucked a curl that escaped the scarlet tie behind her ear and looked up at her uncle, waiting for an answer. Grant nodded and said, "Fine then. We'll go after Miss Bella. You find William...Lila, don't be disappointed if..." Lila nodded and said, "I won't be. Be careful. Both of you."

Grant nodded to them, and walked past them. Jack smiled at Lila and said, "Be careful, Lala." And with that, he followed his father down the path. Bootstrap and Lila began their journey to the upper rooms where they had over heard Beckett and his men talking about.

They made their way into a long dark hallway. Bootstrap glanced over at his future daughter-in-law and said, "Darling, something doesn't seem right..." She agreed. The two of them were standing in that hallway in complete quiet. Shouldn't someone be guarding Culter Beckett's office? Shouldn't some guards be in here? Or maybe some of his army? Something was weird about this. Lila took a step back, but when Boostrap realized why, it was too late.

"LILA RUN!" She didn't waste any time. She took off running at the sound of her name, though it really didn't sound like Boostrap who said it. But she didn't care. Was she worried about Bootstrap? Yes. Of course she was. He was like her father, but she knew that she not only had to care for herself, but the baby as well. Just as she turned the corner, a pair of arms grabbed her around the shoulders. She wondered why, since you would have thought that he would have gone straight to the waist since that would have been much easier. But he grabbed her shoulders. She knew why a minute later.

"LET ME GO!" Lila screamed as the grip on her shoulders tightened. He pulled her down the hallway, and into another room. She whipped her sword out only to see that she was in a dungeon styled room with...

...her fiancee...

"Oh, hell." She muttered, narrowing her green eyes. "YOU BAS-" Will ran over to her and covered up her mouth before she could say anything. She pulled herself away from him and stared at him with a murderous glare. "How the hell could you, Turner?"

"Lila-"

"Don't! I don't bloody want to hear it! Is that your idea of fun? Asking the girl who's bloody having your baby to get married and then turning her in to Lord Satan?" Will rolled his hazel eyes, and made a move towards her. She cut him off by pulling out her sword and saying, "No. I don't want to hear it from you, Will... No more lies."

"I'm not lying to you, Lila. I only wasn't telling you what I was doing." He found that he had to bring out his own sword purely for defense. He knew how she could and probably would get. And she was a bloody good sword fighter. He himself lost to her a few times. They circled a few times, before Lila started at him. It took him off guard, so he almost lost balance. They were evenly matched, which made it all the more hard until Will did a move that made her sword go spinning into the air. And before she even had a chance to so much as think, he pushed her up against the wall.

"Lila, I would never do anything to put you in danger. Or our child, for goodness sakes. I know what I'm doing..." The tone of his voice, made Lila instantly relax. She was breathing heavily. But of course Will wasn't. He honestly didn't have to breath at all, it was just out of a habit. "...have I ever given any reason for you to doubt me, darling?"

"You're a pirate." She spat at him.

"So are you, but I don't trust you any less, do I?" Will shot back at her, only in a gentler voice than she had used on him. "I'm a pirate." She blinked up at him. That was the first time that Will had ever really admitted to being a pirate.

"I'm a pirate, but I'm a man of my word. And I promised to keep you safe. And I'll do just that." Lila stared crying for what seemed to be the millionth time that day. But this time for a completley different reason. And this time, she was in her fiancee's arms. He closed his eyes as he laid his head on hers and said, "Shh, darling. I'm here..."

"I'm sorry, Will."

"Darling, don't be." He said with a smile as he wiped away her tears. He bent down and handed her her sword back, before saying, "Where's my father?" He opened the door, and looked around before he took her hand and led her out into the hall again. She stayed close beside him as more cannons and screams rang thru the early morning and said, "He was behind me, but when Beckett's men attacked, he told me to run-"

"-that was me." Will said, with a smile down to her. She smiled too, but stopped when she saw a very familar face standing before her. Will recovered first and said, "Saphira, what the bloody hell are you doing here? You're suppossed to be-"

"-well, it got quite noisy on the ship. And scary-"

"Jack's going to kill you. Well, he won't. But he'll kill me for not locking the door because you promised that you wouldn't try and escape." Lila didn't wait for Saph to finish, she just took her arm and pulled her down the hallway. The three of them were walking down the hall to another corridor.

"We've got to get out of here, Li. They're coming after you. I've got to get you back on the Dutchman, both of you. I'm staying back here and using the crown as bait so that I can kill Beckett. I'll come back for you-"

"-Will, I'm not leaving you." Lila said, stopping in the middle of the hallway. Saphira and Will stopped and stared at her as she crossed her arms over her chest. Saph looked over at Will. They exchanged glances, before Will said to her, "Lila, the baby-"

"-Will, I'm fine. I'm sure I'm not the only preg-...ok, sorry..pirate that's been "with child"..." She rolled her eyes at that last statement causing Will to smile faintly. He opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by a gun shot just around the corner. Lila's heart seemed to stop beating, before she turned on her heels and sped down the hallway.

"LILA!" Both Will and Saphira ran after her, to only find her frozen at the end of the next hall, staring at the body that was on the ground. Will's first thought was that it was Jack. He suddenly felt sick as he approached his fiancee, keeping an arm around Saphira as he said, "Darling-"

Lila fell back into him, and that's when he saw who the body belonged to...

...Bella...
