A/N: This is just a short story written in Elizabeth’s point of view. It’s basically all the things that could have been going through her head on the journey to rescue Jack from the Locker. Please read and review!!

Disclaimer: I still don't own POTC and make no $ from my stories..strictly for entertainment! Warning also near rape situation so consider yourself warned!

We’ve been at sea for days now but it’s beginning to feel like an eternity. Will and I are still not speaking and as more time passes I fear we may never speak again. I can hardly blame Will for our lack of communication because he at least makes an effort to try and start a conversation with me. It’s not that I don’t want to speak to Will it’s just that there’s really nothing left to say. For days now I’ve caught Will watching me so intently it almost seemed like he was glaring at me. I wonder if he knows about the kiss Jack and I shared before I abandoned him for the Kraken? No, he can’t possibly know about that kiss. Jack and I were the only two on deck when I kissed him and chained him to the mast of the Pearl.

Thoughts of that kiss open the door for a flood of thoughts about Jack. It happened every time I thought back to that horrible day aboard the Pearl. I can still feel his weathered lips against mine as I brush the tips of my fingers across my bottom lip. It had been the most wild and liberating kiss I had ever experienced. Jack Sparrow had managed to set free the raw and unbridled passion that had been bottled up inside me for longer than I could remember. And he had been able to do it with a single kiss. I had lied to him that day when I had said that I wasn’t sorry. And I had been lying to myself ever since. I had always known that I felt something for Jack Sparrow but had refused to allow myself to acknowledge it because I was afraid of what I felt for him. But that afternoon as I sat in the longboat next to Will watching the Kraken take down the Pearl and Jack along with it everything changed.

I realized that I was desperately in love with Jack. It had taken every ounce of strength that I possessed to keep from standing up and shouting out my love for Jack. How could I have fallen in love with another man when I had promised to marry Will? Was I really that fickle? Even now while we sailed the strange and haunted seas at World’s End Jack never strayed far from my thoughts. I loved him still even though I had been the one who had betrayed him. Hearing footsteps approaching behind me I glance over my shoulder. It’s Will. I turn my back to him again quickly hoping that he will leave me alone. But his hand on my shoulder confirms my fear. He wants to talk and this time simply turning my back won’t be enough to impede him.

“How long will we go on not talking Elizabeth?”

I turn around to face him not even bothering to plaster on a fake smile.

“There’s nothing to talk about Will.”

“You could start by telling me what’s bothering you?”

“There’s nothing bothering me Will.”

He grabs my shoulders and pulls me against him roughly. His abruptness startles me making me gasp.

“You walk around the ship like you’re in mourning or something. What is it that you’re not telling me?”

I feel my bottom lip tremble. I can’t possibly tell Will the secret I’ve been keeping. If he knew of my love for Jack it would devastate him. I wrench myself from his grasp and push past him.

“We’re not finished Elizabeth!”

I glare back at him as I continue walking away.

“I have nothing else to say.”

Not wanting to take no for an answer Will follows me down below deck to my small cabin. I dart into my cabin trying to shut the door quickly but Will pushes his way inside. He slams the door shut and locks it.

“What are you doing?”

“Finishing our discussion.”

“Our discussion was finished now get out!”

“Not until you answer me Elizabeth. Just what the hell are you hiding?”

I turn my back to him as I try to slow my racing heart.

“Please stop Will?”

“Tell me what you’re hiding Elizabeth!”

He grabs my shoulders and yanks me back around to face him. Will has never been this rough with me before. Knowing there’s no way to escape telling Will about my feelings for Jack I lower my head in defeat.

“Please Will….don’t make me do this?”

“Do what Elizabeth? What is it that I’m making you do?”

I have no choice but to say what I haven’t even spoken aloud to myself.

“I…..I can’t do this!”

Will pushes me up against the wall pinning me to it with the weight of his body.

“Say it Elizabeth!”

Finally unable to tolerate his hatefulness any longer I lash out at him angrily shouting what I had never wanted to say to him.

“I love him alright! I LOVE JACK!! There, now you know the awful secret I’ve been keeping from you! Are you happy now?”

Will stares down at me with cold dark eyes his mouth slightly agape in shock. Shaking his head in disbelief he pushes me harder into the wall making the back of my head strike it.

“You love him?”

“Will I’m sorry….I never meant to hurt you.”

“How can you love him when you’re engaged to me?”

“I didn’t try to fall in love with Jack…..it just happened.”

“Did you love him when you kissed him that day?”

My eyes widened at the mention of the kiss that Jack and I shared that day. So he did know about the kiss? Then he had been suspicious for some time now about the reason for our deteriorating relationship.

“Will please….”

“Just answer the question Elizabeth! Were you in love with Jack when you kissed him?”

I nodded feeling tears starting to leak out of the corners of my eyes.

“Will I’m so sorry.”

“So this is why we don’t speak? You’re in love with another man. Do you want to be with him Elizabeth?”

I wanted nothing more than to leap into Jack’s arms and tell him how much I loved him. But was it really fair of me to rub my desire to be with Jack in Will’s face? Will shook my shoulders hard snapping me from my thoughts.

“I want an answer Elizabeth and I’m not leaving until I get it!”

His violence was beginning to make my patience wear thin.

“Yes! Yes I want to be with Jack!”

Will scowled at me as he grabbed the collar of my shirt roughly.

“You wench!”

I yelped as Will dragged me over to the bed tossing me down onto it on my back. He leaned over me pressing me down into the mattress with his weight.

“Will stop!”

“You’re no lady…..you’re nothing but a harlot!”

“Stop….you’re hurting me!”

He yanked my shirt from my breeches pushing it up over my breasts. I squirmed underneath him as he grabbed my breasts squeezing them harshly.

“Will don’t!”

“I loved you first Elizabeth! You belonged to me long before you ever knew him! He’ll not have what was promised to me!”

I struggle underneath him as his fingers begin tugging at the ties of my breeches. He easily unfastens them and pulls them off my hips exposing my lower body to him. My eyes widen as he begins unfastening his own breeches to free his throbbing erection.

“No don’t do this! Will please!”

My cries fell upon deaf ears as Will pushed my thighs apart. He reached down between my thighs and prodded at my womanhood with the pads of his fingers. Lifting his fingers to his mouth he sucks them into his mouth tasting me. Taking his erection in his hand he settled between my thighs. I looked up at him tears streaming down my cheeks quickly. Suddenly he froze his bottom lip trembling as he looked down at me. Pushing himself off me he began fastening his breeches. I quickly pulled my shirt back down over my breasts and pulled my breeches back up.

“Will?”

“Elizabeth….I’m so sorry….I don’t know what I was thinking. Please forgive me?”

“You’re forgiven….it’s forgotten….just let me be alone for a while?”

He nodded and headed for the door. Hearing the door shut I sank back down onto the bed. It felt as if a weight had been lifted off my chest now that things were out in the open. Of course things weren’t totally resolved with Will but they could wait for now. All that mattered was getting to the Locker and rescuing Jack. Once Jack was safe then everything else could be sorted out.

‘Don’t worry Jack, I’m coming for you. I won’t leave you in the Locker.’
