I know I shouldn't have done it, but at the time, all I could think of was what that bloody compass had been showing me everytime I tried to use it... and the fact that I had to do something to keep the Kraken from continuing from attacking us.

I knew without a doubt that if we could get out and away from Jack, the Kraken would leave us alone. It was Jack he was after, and nothing we had done so far had prevented it from attacking no matter where we were. Yes, there may have been my anger at finding out that Jack had tricked Will onto Davy Jones's ship and told me he was lost playing a small part into it.

So, I did the one thing I knew would distract Jack enough to let me put my plan into action.

I kissed him.

It worked. He was distracted enough by my kiss that I was able to chain him to the wheel before he even knew what I was doing.

I truly did not enjoy chaining him up to leave for the Kraken, but I didn't think that there was anything else that I could do. The Kraken wouldn't stop until it had Jack and if I hadn't done something, all of us would have died. I was not ready to die -- or to see Will die.

So I kissed him, and then I left him there.

I didn't kiss him because I was in love with him or lusted after him. There never has been another man for me but for Will.

I know I shouldn't have done it.

I never would have hurt Will like that.
