A NEW BEGINNING MEANS A NEW ENDING

A/n: I had a sudden burst of inspiration so here I am. I have the entire day to write due to me being sick so I thought I'd make the best of this.

Sitting cross-legged on the deck of the helm, Elizabeth Swann held Jack's black weathered compass tightly in the palm of her hand. The lid was open and the red arrow was giving a definite direction to the location of the treasure that Elizabeth and the rest of the crew were in search of. Their proud, half drunken, half crazed captain. Standing at the wheel was a Grant Sparrow, who gripped the wheel of The Pursuer as one would grip a wheel in the mist of a storm.

Stealing a glance at the compass he gently turned the wheel so the ship was traveling at the correct path. He couldn't help but let his eyes fall upon the beautiful woman in the current possession of the compass. It was hard to believe that a woman of such beauty had fallen for one of his own. Yes Jack was good looking and charmed many women through out his life time but after he turned to piracy Grant became worried. Now many years later here he was dead and being rescued by a Governor's daughter of all people.

“Elizabeth” the voice of a young man who he had been told was known as Will spoke.

“Yes” She whispered glancing up from the compass to her fiance.

“May I have a word with you” “I promise it won't take long” he continued noticing her hesitate slightly.

“Fine” she replied as she gently rose to her feet and pocketed the black weather compass. A sudden guilt filling her.

As she followed Will disappearing into the cabin, Gibbs appeared out of no where appearing next to Grant his eyes on the door of the cabin.

“Odd couple if I may say so myself”

“Couple?”

“Aye been together most their years”

“Oh really” Grant answered raising an eyebrow.

“Aye but they ain't been too good ever since ye son went down”

“Oh what happened?”

“Don't really know apparently something 'appened between ye son and Miss Elizabeth and Will saw”

He replied honestly looking around quickly incase anyone heard. Just as Grant was about to speak Marty came running up to them as fast as his small legs would take him.

“We be coming up on a port”

“Port??” Grant and Gibbs both repeated in unison as they both spun around so they were facing the front of the ship.

“But the locker isn't a port”

“WILL LEAVE ME ALONE!” Elizabeth shouted as she stormed out of the cabin and marched up to the bow of the ship.

The sound of the cabin door being slammed filled the ship causing everyone to look towards Elizabeth. No one could miss the tears the rolled down her cheeks as they glimmered in the sin light.

“Where are we?” she asked not looking at the port.

“Why don't ye see for ye self Miss Elizabeth?” Gibbs spoke softly to her.

“Alright but I don't see why you just can't...” she didn't quite get to finish her sentence as she looked up and immediately recognized the port as the place she once called home.
