The sound of rain gently hitting the floors above...the soft push of the wind seeping through the wooden walls, making them creak with the movement of the sea...A soft music could be heard as a body is shown...his head on a nearly dry pile of hay...in his hand, he held a locket...a heart shaped musical locket...his thumb gently caressing it, his eyes looking at it...soft tears escaping his eyes...he let out a soft sigh as his eyes focused forward...metal bars in front of him...above him...soft chatter...and silence, only the sound of both Wind and Sea keeping him company...
He softly closed the locket, silencing the gentle music...but only for a moment, the next, he heard it again, but...it came from...outside the bars, slowly, he rose from the floor, his hands gently grabbing the bars and focusing his eyes and ears on the gentle music...he saw her...

No words were exchanged, there was no need too...she walked closer to him, one step being soft like the hits of the rain, the other, a strong pound like the sounding thunder, he could now see her eyes...they looked...sad...grief...in pain...and afraid...but filled with rage...the odd thing is...he knew...that her rage was not at him...like before...
"Davina..."
He saw her eyes gain a flash of hope when he called her name...she slowly reached her human hand to him, only, he softly moved away from her touch...she slowly moved her hand away from the bars...she wanted to touch him again...to hold him again...but...it was not allowed...
"Why...are you here...? This ship is no place for you..."
She wanted to take him with her...she wanted to just break the bars apart and leave with him...but she couldn't...not yet...
"Ten years...I devoted to the duty he charged me..." She once again lifted her hand, this time, he didn't move away..."Ten years...I looked after those who died at sea..." Her hand was so close to his cheek, so close to feeling his skin against hers once again..." And in all that time...I realized...how much of a fool I've been..." Something stopped her from holding his cheek, her tentacles started wiggling in anger at the denial of contact. "I've been led astray...following the false honeyed voice of a God...leaving behind...my true sweet..." Her eyes wandered towards his chest, seeing the massive scar on his chest...where his heart once was... " Tearing away what should've been mine...what you've happily given to me...I've been a fool...and only now...it took me only now to realize it..."
She couldn't touch him...the curse made sure of that...but he found a loop hole in the curse...slowly...he raised his own hand, reached across from the bars...and Softly placed it against her heart...he could feel the quickened pace...he looked at her, and saw tears falling, with his other hand, he softly held her cheek, his thumb wiping the tears from her eyes. Davina felt it...his touch...his warmth...warmer than anything her ten years felt..."Go ahead...Touch me...I give you permission..." The curse lifting slightly...she felt it...her tentacle hair returning to normal...her hand and leg...human...Slowly...her human hand covered his on her cheek, fresh tears starting falling again as she turned her head to his palm, softly beginning to kiss it, her other hand reaching through the bars, softly holding his cheek, her grip desperate for the contact. With a heavy breath, like it was her first breath of fresh air, she softly whispered, "My Love...My sweet...your touch...so gentle...so warm...how I've missed it...your skin...your eyes..." He felt her lips keep kissing his palm...the pain in his chest starting to grow...
"Davina...We both know how this will end..." He started to say, catching the attention of the Dutchess, "Calypso will not let you go...you offered him your heart...and you know how fickle and unpredictable he is...so...Before I ended up here...I went to the pirates...the Brethren Court..." He looked into her eyes, her pure, untamed, blue eyes..." Soon...you will have your heart returned to you...You will become the Queen of the Sea...like you have always dreamed...and Calypso will never again trick you..."
He slowly started moving both his hands away from her, causing a moment of panic to fill her, but before she could reach to him, "Don't touch me..." Immediately, her hand couldn't grab him, bearing her teeth in anger, she raised her crab hand and clamped it on his throat...he made no attempt to struggle...how she could touch him...the curse says she could not touch him...but the reason behind the touch...can get by...
"You...didn't answer my question Davina..."
Realizing what she was doing, she immediately released her hold on him and tried to pull her claw out, but it was stuck in the bars, letting out an annoying sigh, she fazed through the bars, now in front of him...the curse keeping her from going closer... "When I take back my heart...I will return...and offer it to you...like you have to me...I will find your heart...and hold it tight...I will never let you go...not again..." He slowly walked to her side, making her watch him as he gripped the bars, "You...really shouldn't make a Boy a promise you can't keep Davina...I may not have my heart...but I can still feel the cold steel of your sword..."
She looked down in shame and Anger, "I will return for you...I refuse to be the Queen of the Sea...if I can't have you as my King..." She was about to leave the ship, until his voice stopped her, "What of you then Davina Jones...? I know this is not just about that...what of your fate...?" She looked at him...at her true Sweet...gripping the locket she was holding, she gave him a soft, sad, pain filled smile...the smile that he always wanted to help cheer up...
"My heart will always belong to you"
With that, she phased through the ship walls, he sat down on the floor, gently opening the Locket, gently humming the music it made while looking at where she once was...a ghost of a smile appeared on his face, softly shaking his head, "Once Calypso's out of the way...One will be freed...the other...to ensure Calypso never regains his real form..." He looked at the crack above him...seeing the moon shine down on him...
"Davina...I pray you forget me when the time comes..."
