Hey guys thanks so much for all the great reviews! Sorry, for the update taking so long, I had a few things on my plate that took up a lot of my time. I hope you'll enjoy this new chapter :) I will try to update sooner!

The plank was unstable and narrow. Elizabeth's legs were shaking while the ends of her heavy red dress began to drip off the side of the wooden plank that stuck outwards from the ship. She had a clear view of a small island that was ahead of her. She then looked back at the crowd upon Barbosa's ship. She saw the fear in everyone's eyes, but she focused more upon Will's eyes. He had come all the way to get her, he even went beyond and asked Jack Sparrow to help him. She had never ever had a man go through so many lengths just for her. It saddened her greatly to see that she once more would be separated from him, and she could tell that that almost killed him by the look of his eyes when Barbosa order Elizabeth to walk the plank as his version of "letting her go."

"This was not our bargain!" Will protested as he had to be held down by several of Barbosa's crew.

"I said I was going to let her go! But don't you worry, Mr. Turner! She won't be going alone!" Barbosa explained. He walked towards Belle, who of course was terrified as ever, and grabbed her by the hair and pulled her towards the plank. She screamed at the pain, while Gold did the same as Will and tried to fight back those who held him down, however, he was very much unsuccessful. He looked down on his wrists and saw the bracelet that prevented him from performing magic; he screamed at it in frustration. This only made Barbosa laugh harder.

"Did you know that we used that exact bracelet on the witch all those years ago? Good thing that I still had it with me in my cabin. It was a gift from Davy Jones, he gave me many copies in case if one proved to be ill! But, all came in handy since we have two sorcerers upon this ship!" Emma looked down at her wrists and sighed, but unconscious Regina had none upon hers, which confused her, but she stayed quiet.

"Why would he give them to you? Magic is very rare in this world!" Will exclaimed.

"The witch once told Davy Jones that the saviour performed magic just like herself. She even mentioned in her tales, of a Dark One…and I presume that that Dark one is yer father. Yer real father of course, Mr. Turner. I know a great deal about yer adopted father. The man who took you in. So I thought it would be prudent for me to bring yah along with the saviour, and the Dark One. His magic and power might be useful to Davy Jones!"

Belle felt a push by a large pirate which slammed her into Elizabeth's back, causing them to almost fall off the plank.

"Oh and Miss. Elizabeth. You've been keepin' her warm for these past few days, but I'd like to have her back!" Barbosa asked. Elizabeth looked at him puzzled, till he pointed to the large red dress that she wore. The crew began to laugh, which irritated not only Elizabeth but Will as well. Elizabeth without protest took off the dress in a balanced fashion to prevent her from falling off. She then tossed it to Barbosa, who immediately caught it and smelled it.

"mmmh still warm," he chuckled. "Now on yah go, ladies!"

Belle turned her head around and looked straight into the eyes of Gold, and mouthed "I love you," to which Gold responded with "I love you too." To their dismay, an impatient crew member cried out, "GET ON WITH IT!" and he slammed the bottom of his foot upon the opposite end of the plank causing Elizabeth and Belle to loose balance and fall into the sea simultaneously. Will and Gold both screamed out "NO!" at the same time and were both punched in the stomach by the men who held them back. Barbosa then took out his sword and pointed it at Jack and then at Killian. He then pointed his sword to the plank, urging Jack and Killian to be moved there. The men holding them pushed them both towards the plank, which caused them to hit their backs to the edge of the ship.

"NO! Killian! Please!" Emma protested, but felt a cloth forcefully shoved into her mouth to silence her.

"The ladies might need some comforting on that island!" Barbosa commented and he held his sword up at both of them.

"Ah, Hector, you don't want to put me on that island again do you?" Jack commented.

"Yes, I think I do," Barbosa sassed back. He nodded his head to one of his crew members who gave him a pile of both Jack and Killian's knives, swords, guns, and Jack's hat. Jack opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something, but nothing came out. Barbosa knew about Jack's love for his things, and he figured that Killian felt the same about his. Barbosa walked up towards them while they slowly backed up upon the wooden plank, and he threw their things into the sea. Both Jack and Killian looked down as they saw their things fall into the bottom of the ocean. They both, simultaneously, dived into the water and swam to the bottom of the shallow-like sea and grabbed their effects. As they both swam to the surface the ship was already sailing away.

Killian and Jack had finally joined Belle and Elizabeth upon the small tropical island. All soaking wet and dripping. Belle, was angry as ever, and so was Killian. "Well that is just great! We are now stuck on this island, and without any way of getting off it! While Rumple and my son are taken from me!" Belle exclaimed.

"Your son? Who's your son?" Elizabeth asked.

"William Turner, your friend. I am his real mother," Belle explained.

"Real mother? What do you mean by real mother?" Elizabeth asked once more puzzled as ever as she tried to squeeze the salt water out of her hair.

"It is a long story, love, which we clearly will have a lot of time to discuss it!" Jack jumped.

"You got off this island before! How did you do it?" Killian asked. Jack seemed to ignore him, and everyone else. He curiously began searching the island for something. Belle kept repeating Killian's question. But Jack kept walking towards the palm trees in large exaggerating steps.

"What the bloody hell, is he doing?" Killian asked, Elizabeth shrugged as they both followed him.

Jack found a spot between two palm trees and began to jump up and down upon it.

"Is there a boat down there?" Elizabeth asked, but naturally Jack did not answer. He then got upon his knees and pulled open what had seemed to be a trap door. Inside of it revealed a pit filled with barrels and bottles of rum, all covered with dust and cobwebs, long abandoned. Jack's face fell.

"What? What's wrong? How will this help us get off the island?" Belle asked.

Jack sighed. "It won't. It won't. So we won't." Jack then jumps down into the pit and cracks open a bottle of rum or two and hands one over to Killian's hands.

"But… you did it before! Last time- "Belle began to ask before Jack interrupted her.

"Last time, I was here for a grand total of three days. Last time, the rumrunners who used this island as a cache came by, and I bartered passage off!" Jack revealed. "But from the looks of this, they've long gone out of business. So as you may think, that won't be happening again! We will probably have your friend Norrington to thank for that!"

"So that's your secret! You spent three days on this island, drinking rum?" Elizabeth commented.

"Welcome to the Caribbean, love!" Jack said as he pulled out more bottles of rum and handed them over to each of them.

As much as Killian loved rum, he did not want to drink it at this time. "Belle and Elizabeth are right we need to find a way to get off this bloody island! They have Emma! And they left her son, on my ship! They mentioned that they would send a gift to them! What the hell does he mean by that?" Killian protested.

"Now, now Captain 'hook', you might as well kiss your love goodbye, because once she is in the hands of Davy Jones…she may not be so lucky as you hope! As for your lover's precious son, he is also in the hands of Davy Jones, but something far more unpleasant…now drink it all away!" Jack answered as he took a few gulps of Rum. "Plus, look on the bright side! Shaded trees, thank the lord. We've got rum, praise the lord. And we can probably stay alive for a month, maybe more! Keep a weather eye out for passing ships, and our chances are fair!"

"A MONTH?! My husband and my son might not be alive, after a month!" Belle exclaimed.

"Tough!" Jack answered back. Killian immediately grabbed Jack by his shirt and held him tight and slammed him against the nearest palm tree. Killian's eyes stared dead straight into Jack's.

"You sold her out! You are the reason we are on this island!"

"Actually, Barbosa is the reason! And if what Henry told me about his family is true, you would not let an innocent girl be used for something she is not!" Jack answered back.

Killian sighed and let go of Jack. "We better find a passing ship soon!"

"I am going to gather wood to start a fire," Elizabeth added as she began to head into the very small forest on the island.

"I'll join you!" Killian said, walking away from Jack.

Jack looked back at Belle, whose arms were crossed in frustration.

"Cheer up, love! There is plenty of rum for all of us!" Jack said happily as he held his arms out with both hands holding rum bottles. Belle rolled her eyes and walked away from Jack who responded with a frown.

Elizabeth picked up every stick she could find while grunting simultaneously. Killian couldn't help but notice her distress and wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. His mind was tangled in the thoughts of Emma sailing away with Barbosa and Henry separated from her. What was to become of Henry? And Emma? He shook his head in confusion and distress while trying not to let his anger take over. He had to find a clever way off this island…He then paused and looked up at Elizabeth who growled while her white underdress got caught upon the small branches of a nearby bush. Killian continued to stare at her, till she eventually ripped the end of her underdress while numerous curse words fluttered out of her mouth.

"Your father is a governor of that village thing… port…uh…P-" Killian began.

"Port Royal!" Elizabeth finished with an aggressive tone.

Killian smiled and pointed at her, "Yeah, that's the one!"

"What about it?"

"Wouldn't you think they'd be out on the sea looking for you?"

"Why do you think I am gathering all this wood?" Elizabeth said impatiently.

"Wood? oh! You're going to try to signal them with smoke?" Killian asked.

"That is the plan… Mr. ?"

"Jones! Killian Jones! But some also call me Captain Hook,"

Elizabeth stopped and looked up in confusion, which signaled Killian to raise his hooked hand to clarify.

"Oh…how did you manage that?" she added as she tried to hold up every piece of wood she could find in her arms.

"Here let me help, you!" Killian offered but Elizabeth refused. "Alright," Killian continued, "it's a complicated long story that involves…just…never mind."

"You're a pirate aren't you?" Elizabeth asked as she walked past him while hollering wood. Killian nodded to her question but then also shook his head.

"So are you a pirate or not? This is not a difficult question."

"No, I used to be."

"And what made you stop?"

"Emma, the woman who took your place on that ship! And speaking of that, you do realize that there is a young man aboard who came all this way to rescue you!" Killian exclaimed.

"You don't think I am not aware of that? Why else do you think I am so tense and angry?!"

"I thought that was just your personality?" Jack jumped in out of nowhere, while taking gulps of rum, startling both Killian and Elizabeth.

Killian shook his head as he watched Elizabeth storm off angrily. He walked towards Jack and took the bottle of rum from his dry hands. He drank the last few drops that were left of it and then ran into Jack's chest.

"Easy there, mate," Jack protested. He felt uneasy with all the anger surrounding him. Belle was furious, Elizabeth was furious, and Killian was furious. Naturally, Jack went about searching for more rum within the pit while his peers did nothing but get angry with each other. Belle noticed Jack heading for the pit in search for more rum. She quickly took Killian's sword from his side and pointed it at Jack blocking his path towards the pit.

"No more rum!" Belle objected. Jack smiled at her and using his index finger he slowly pushed the tip of the sword away from him.

"Come now, darling. How else are we to hydrate?"

The sounds of waves and salty smell of the sea water reached Regina's ears and nose causing her to awaken. She looked around her and saw Henry, Snow, David, and Robin all next to her with tight ropes holding them against the main mast of the Pearl. Her head pounded with pain as she tried to re-focus herself on where she was and what was going on. All around her she could hear the struggling sounds of everyone trying to break free. Robin finally noticed her awakening, and he cried out her name softly a few times until she realized that he was saying her name. She turned to him and he quickly informed her of the events that she had missed due to her being unconscious.

"I remember Barbosa saying he was going to send an old friend of Davy Jones'. Henry, what was he talking about?" David asked which caused Henry's eyes to widen like a rabbit about to be eaten by its predator.

"Is that what he said? Are you sure?!" Henry cried out. David nodded.

"Henry, what is it?" Snow cried out.

"We need to untie ourselves now, and get off this ship! Mom, how is your magic down here? Can you get us untied?" Henry asked Regina who nodded.

"My magic is a bit rusty down here, I can really only do fire balls…and that's about it!"

"That should be enough! Burn the rope!" Henry exclaimed. Regina nodded, and held her hand out from the bottom of the rope. She conjured a fire within her hand, and struggled to lift it for her arm was tied tightly against the mast. She grunted and growled as she tried to aim her fire at a point on the rope where no one would get hurt. She finally found a spot and the fire from her hand descended upon the patch of rope burning it instantly. The rope began to loosen and finally untangled itself freeing everyone who was bound by it.

"Alright Henry, who is this old friend Barbosa was talking about?" Regina asked as everyone started to collect themselves.

"The Kraken."

"The what?"

"It's a sea creature feared by all pirates, I've fought it before…but I was the only one of few survivors! It targets the ship and destroys it and everyone on it, which is why we have to get off this ship!"

"There's no more life boats! Barbosa destroyed them before he put us on this ship!" Robin added.

Everyone's hearts began to beat faster and faster.

"No, we can do this! We've defeated many other creatures before…we can surely defeat this one!" Snow added in confidence.

"Grandma, this is not at all like anything we've fought before! Even Dark Ones fear it!" Henry protested back.

"Gold did have a terrified look on his face when Barbosa said 'old friend'!" David clued in.

"Let's just stop talking and…" Robin started but was silenced by a loud rumble that came from underneath them. All of them looked upon each other with fear as the rumbling and growling continued. Henry gulped and looked at Regina, "it's here!"
