Bootleg Turn

Warning: violence, blood, stabbing.

Will swam towards the Intercepter with Elizabeth beside him. She looked back and her eyes watered.

"I don't see Abigail." She muttered and Will kept swimming.

"Tempe will save her. I trust her." He muttered as he started to hoist himself up the ship ladder. Isobel stood at the top and helped him up then helped Elizabeth climb up. Sge brought Elizabeth into a tight hug.

"Will, where is Tempe, Abigail and Jack?" Isobel asked. Will looked at her.

"Tempe and Abigail are on their way." He stated and just as he said it a voice yelled from the water.

"We're already here Turner!" Tempd hollered as Abigail started to climb up. Once she git up Elizabeth hugged her tightly. Tempe climbed up and Gibbs wrapped a coat around her wet shoulders.

"Why are there more pirates?" Abigail asked as she looked around. "We just escaped pirates only to be surrounded by more."

"They helped save you. We couldn't have made it without them." Will spoke calmly.

"I need a moment." Abigail mumbled and walked away. Elizabeth followed her closely.

"Where's Jack?" Gibbs asked. Will looked at him and before he could speak Tempe spoke up.

"He's not here obviously. Just get us away from this cave Gibbs. Keep to the code." She stated and walked away. Isobel nodded slowly.

"Who is she to him?" Isobel asked. Gibbs sighed.

"It's not my place to say. They just.... it's complicated." He added and walked away.

Abigail stood by the railing looking into the water. Elizabeth came and stood beside her. They stood in a comfortable silence for a few moments before Elizabeth broke it.

"This is all my fault. If I hadn't stolen the medallion when we were children this wouldn't have happened." Abigail shook her head.

"It could've been worse. Will would've been executed for being a pirate." Abigail muttered.

"You should take it. You can give it back to him it was his father's so he should have it." Elizabeth handed her the medallion. Abigail gently took it.

"Why can't you give it back?" She asked Elizabeth looked at the ground.

"It would be better for him to get it from you. Someone he loves." With that Elizabeth walked away. Abigail closed her eyes and listened to the water woth a small smile.

"Are you hurt?" A voice asked from behind her making her jump.

"Will! You can't sneak up on people!" She exclaimed holding her hand over her heart. He chuckled and walked over to her.

"Many pardons miss Swann." He joked so she gently shoved his shoulder. "Are you alright? Did they hurt you?" She shook her head.

"No, they barely touched me. Elizabeth is the one who's hurt." She squeezed the medallion in her hand.

"Why did they take you? There must be a reason." He asked. She looked at him and carefully placed the medallion in his hand. He looked at her quizzically then he looked in his hand. His eyes widened.

"I thought I lost this.... how did you get it?" He asked.

"Elizabeth took it the day we found you in the water. She was scared you were a pirate. Apparently Barbosa wanted it to break a curse so he took us thinking we were Turners." She mumbled. His fist clenched around the medallion and he sighed.
