"Captain?" Bill Turner's voice just barely carries above the music in the cavernous organ room where Elizabeth has taken to spending time alone. "We're coming up on a wreck…"

She continues to play, though not as vigorously, the sound dying down a little.

"Brings us in closer and begin bringing them aboard." She doesn't even glance at him.

"But Cap'n," he hesitates, knowing she'll not be happy to hear what he has to tell her next, "the Pearl's just come up on us…"

She stops playing rather abruptly and turns to him.

"Is Will with them?"

"I don't know, but the ship they took on was large and well armed, and they've taken some damage, which would lead one to believe they were trying to get our attention. Trying to get your attention, Elizabeth."

She says nothing, looking uncertain of what to do.

"I know you believe Will's betrayed you." Bill goes on quietly. She turns her now harsh gaze on him sharply. This gives him pause, but he continues. "But they wouldn't go through this much trouble to get to you for no reason. I think you'd best come up on deck."

Elizabeth glares at him for a minute longer, hoping he'll back off. But Bill doesn't back off, and her façade quickly falls, and she is hurrying past him now and out of the large room, in a hurry at least to see her daughter, though she has no desire to see Will.

Well, she thinks, she doesn't want to see him unless maybe he has that whore Jade with him. Not for the first time it crosses her mind just how satisfying it would be to put a blade through her heart and see what he'd do then.

She no longer stops to think how cruel she sounds, even to herself.

She comes up on deck and wills herself onto the other ship as soon as she sees it, having no patience to wait and find a normal way onto the Pearl. Both Jack and Will are at the helm and look startled when she appears out of thin air behind them.

"Elizabeth!" Will exclaims, moving forward and wrapping his arms around her in a warm embrace, as he always does upon seeing her.

This time, though, she doesn't return his affections, standing stiffly in his arms until he lets her go and looks at her with a bewildered expression.

"E-Elizabeth? What's wrong?"

She doesn't reply immediately, and when she does she ignores his question, asking one of her own.

"Where's Emily?"

Will and Jack exchange a look. Elizabeth narrows her eyes at Will.

"Will. Where is my daughter?"

"She's –"

"You didn't leave her on land this time did you? If you left my daughter with that wench, Will…"

"What? No! No, I didn't… I mean, I would never… wench?" He stumbles over his words, squeaking out the last one, sounding pathetic and very un-Will-like. She raises her eyebrows at him. What could be making him this nervous?

"I wish I could tell ye he was lying and the lass is back home." Jack cuts in. "But I'm afraid that what's actually happened is much more worse…"

Elizabeth turns on him, thoroughly annoyed now.

"Will one of you just come out with it? I don't have all day." She gestures towards what's left of the ship the Pearl had cut down.

Will and Jack both stiffen, and glance at eachother again before the words come tumbling out of both their mouths at the same time.

"Emily was taken by the Company."

"The lass was captured by the Company."

She stares at them for a moment as the words take a moment to sink in fully.

"What?"

"I don't understand, why would they even bother with that port, I thought you said there weren't a lot of pirates there."

"There aren't any pirates there at all, that's why I chose to stay there. Unless they found out about Emily and I somehow…" Will watched his wife as she paced about his cabin. "I don't know."

"How would they have found out about you, anyways?"

"I just told you, I don't know."

"And where were you when she was taken, anyways?" She turns to him now, jabbing a finger at him. "Did you even try to save her? Did you see her captor's ship? You act as though you weren't even there!"

"Well, see, the thing is Emily was down by the docks when she was taken."

"What?"

"We'd had a…sort of…fight and she ran off down to the docks like she always does when she's upset. I think the water calms her. She always came back and was fine, I had no reason to believe this time was any different, you must understand Elizabeth." He pleads with her, hoping she'll stop directing her cold and angry looks at him. "No one noticed anything off about the ship sailing into the harbor until the men came marching off with rifles. I just barely managed to escape them; I went looking for Emily as soon as I could, only to be told by several other sailors that she'd been dragged off, captured."

She is silent for a long while.

"Alright." She says at length. "I'm sorry. Perhaps it wasn't entirely fair of me to blame it on you. What was the fight about?"

Will hesitates, unsure of what to tell her.

"Well? It wouldn't happen to have anything to do with that we-I mean Jade, would it?"

He narrows his eyes at her, as she'd obviously been about to say 'wench'. What is with her? First she refuses to return his embrace or show him any affection at all, then she automatically jumps to the conclusion that Emily's capture is his fault, and to top all that off, she's branded a woman she barely knows a 'wench'.

He doesn't like this Elizabeth. He doesn't like her at all. He suddenly isn't quite so worried about telling her the truth, even if she won't like it.

"Jade had been over the night before Emily was taken. Emily doesn't like Jade at all, says Jade tries too hard to act like she's her mother. She was angry with me for bringing Jade around so much, and I got upset with her for being so rude because Jade's been very helpful to me in taking care of Emily. That's why she ran off."

Elizabeth seemed frozen in place, staring at him in shock.

"What? Elizabeth, what is it?"

"H-how long ago was this?"

"Close to a month ago. I know that seems a long time, but I had to find Jack and the Pearl, which thankfully did not take half as long as it could have, and then getting all the way out here and… I hope that she is alright – Elizabeth?"

He stops as she slumps down onto his bed, her face pail as she mutters to herself.

"About a month ago…that's when the dreams started…if he had that wench over that night…and then Emily saw them…"

"Elizabeth! What are you muttering about?"

Her fists clench in her lap and she looks up at him, a fire blazing in her usually loving eyes.

"When were you planning to tell me?"

"W-what? I don't underst-"

"When were you planning to tell me that you shared a bed with that-that-that whore that's apparently been taking care of my daughter?"

Now his skin pails. He tries to stay calm.

"I don't know what you're-"

"What, don't you remember? Or were you too drunk?"

The room suddenly feels far too hot. Will opens his mouth to speak, but it has turned impossibly dry, and no sound comes out.

"My goddess was giving me these dreams. I saw you. A part of me still didn't want to believe it. But now it all makes perfect sense. You got drunk and laid with her and Emily caught you. That's why she was angry. That's why she ran off."

"Elizabeth, please, i-it was a mistake…"

"Yes, it was, the biggest mistake you've ever made. I hoped you'd prove my goddess wrong, I wanted this to all be over. How interesting that she's the only one I can trust now. "

"Elizabeth, please…"

"Captain." She snaps.

"What?"

"It's Captain Swann."

"Come now, please, don't say that, I still love…"

The word 'love' barely leaves his mouth before she is pointing a pistol at his head. Will freezes, eyes wide.

"Shut it! I don't care anymore. Do you know what the name of the ship was?"

"Ship? Can't we at least talk about…"

She cocks the pistol.

"The name of the Company ship that sailed off with Emily, do you know it?"

"The Revenge! It was called the Revenge! B-but that's hardly the only Company ship sailing these waters, they are many more, growing bolder again. We don't know where the Revenge is headed! That's why we came to find you! Please, Elizabeth, put the pistol away!"

Her hand twitches, as if she really does want to pull the trigger, but she eventually lowers it, letting out a breath.

"How can I help? I'm bound to the ship; I have to do the job. I don't want to upset my goddess."

"We need the pirate King if we are to scare the Company back into hiding away or we'll all be killed. And you have the Dutchman, you'd be well nigh unstoppable. And this ship, the Revenge… it's the biggest ship I have ever seen, it must be there new flagship. You have to help because I fear we may not be able to get her back on our own. Besides, the way you're beginning to talk about your goddess, one would think she has some sort of soft spot for you."

"If she does it is hardly any of your business. It's been a month. Would Emily still be on that ship?"

"It's the best we've got to work with."

She turns and leaves his cabin without another word.
