As I was sitting on the steps, We came upon the island. Me, My father, Elizabeth, Norrington, Ragetti and Pintel all crammed into a small boat.

Pintel and Ragetti argued the entire time as they rowed us to the shore of the island. I just rolled my eyes and looked over to my father as he clutched the jar of dirt to his chest, scanning over the water in a scared manner.

We reached the shore and all got out of the boat. My father left his jacket in the boat and grabbed a shovel, Norrington grabbed another one.

"Mind the boat, mind the tide, don't touch my dirt." He ordered to Pintel and Ragetti.

The rest of us walked across the island, following Elizabeth as she held the compass. We found a little patch of the island, that looked like it would be a good place to hide a chest.

Elizabeth began walking around aimlessly and than sat down on the sand, in an annoyed state. Throwing the compass down next to her.  "This doesn't work, and it certainly doesn't show you what you want most."

My father stumbled over to her and looked at the compass. "Yes it does, your sitting on it." Elizabeth than looked at him. "Move!" He than made hands movements for her to shoo. She stood up and came next to me. Norrington began digging as I grabbed the other shovel and began helping him.

"Thank you." He said very under his breath. I flashed him a smile, letting him know I heard him.

After digging for a while, we both brought our shovels down at the same time and hit something. We shot each other glances and threw our shovels aside. My father came next to us dropping to his knee's. Me and him dig through the sand and found the top of a chest. We dug it out and placed it on the sand.

I noticed there was a lock on it, I picked up the shovel again and broke the lock. We all than huddled around it, my father opening the lid.

Notes were piled high as a chest lied beneath them. I pulled it out and we all pressed our ears to it. A thump noise resented through our ears, as my eyes went wide.

"It's real." Elizabeth said in disbelief.

"You actually we're telling the truth." Norrington said to my father in vain.

"I do that quite a lot, yet people are always surprised." My father informed.

"With good reason!" Will's voice yelled. We all turned our heads to see him standing there, drenched head to toe.

"Will!" Elizabeth and me yelled at the same time. She shot me a quick glance and ran to him. "Your all right! Thank goodness! I came to find you." She said happily as she hugged him. Than kissed him.

"Oh get a room." I groaned.

"How did you get here?" My father yelled.

"Sea turtles, mate. A pair of them, strapped to my feet." Will responded.

"Not so easy, is it?" My father smiled cockily.

"But I do owe you thanks, Jack." Will said.

"You do?" Me and my father said at the same time.

"After you tricked me onto that ship to square your debt with Jones."

"What?" Elizabeth yelled, shooting me a massive glare. I just looked down at me feet, fleeing a wave of guilt flood over my body.

"What?" My father repeated, but in a higher pitch tone.

"I was reunited with my father." Will finished saying.

"Oh, well. You're welcome, then." My father said.

"Everything you said to me, every word was a lie." Elizabeth yelled as she walked angrily towards me and my father.

"Pretty much." He said smug.

She than faced me. "I trusted you!" She said very mad. I just looked at her and sighed.

"Look...I'm..." I began. But Will caught my attention. He was holding the key with a knife in the other hand, on his knees in front of the chest.

"Oi, what are you doing?" My father asked.

"I'm going to kill Jones." He stated. My father than pulled out his sword and pointed it to Will's neck. Making me let out a tiny gasp.

"Can't let you do that, William. Cause if Jones is dead who's to call his terrible bestie off the hunt, eh?" My father said. "Now, if you please." My father motioned his hand out for the key as Will stood up. "They key."

He than took Elizabeth's sword and pointed at my father. "I keep the promises I make, Jack. I intend to free my father. I hope you're here to see it."

"Norrington that pulled out his sword and pointed it at Will. " I can't let you do that either. So sorry.

"I knew you'd warm up to me eventually." My father said happily and took a step forward. Norrington that started pointing his sword at my father, while his was pointing at Will as his was pointing at Norrington.

I than took out my sword and pointed it at Norrington. He looked at me stunned.

"Really Blair?" He said annoyed.

"I protect my father." I stated.

"Thanks deary." My father smiled at me. I just sighed and rolled my eyes.

I live with morons

"Lord Beckett desires the contents of that chest. I deliver it. I get my life back."

"Ah the dark side of ambition." My father expressed.

"Oh, I prefer to see it as the promise of redemption." Norrington smirked. Than swung his sword.
