chapter 1
We All Do
Stars twinkled in the black sky above while the waves were crashing into the ship. The stars' twinkling reminded her of a certain memory that took place only a month before. That certain memory was of the icebergs, glaciers, and ice bobbing up and down or remaining still within the bitter cold waters of At World's End. She really wanted to revisit that part of her life so badly. But not only for the stars, but to see her lover once more. She didn't mind revisiting that piece of her life, even if her lover was ignoring and not bothering to communicate with her during that time. She would do anything to see her beloved's face again. Hear his words. Anything of his, she would do anything. While her mind was focusing on that memory, her eyes focused on something else.
The water below was spinning, as if forming a miniature version of a whirlpool. Then, out of nowhere, a figure burst into the air. The figure smiled at her.
"Calypso!" she exclaimed no louder than a whisper.
"Elizabeth," Calypso said in an eerie tone. A slight moment of silence slid between two.
"What are you doing here?" Elizabeth inquired in a hush, not wanting to wake the crew.
Calypso did a little smirk. "Sweethaht, you don't need to worreh bout wakin da crew from der slumber. They're snorin loudah than monkeys screamin in da jungle." Elizabeth was still confused for Calypso's presence.
After seeing Calypso smile, she asked a bit louder, "What do you want, Calypso?" She was still mindful of the fact Calypso was the sea goddess and contained within her a very powerful wrath. But before Calypso could respond to her, Elizabeth noticed Calypso's eyes wandering past her, and whatever she saw had caused the sea goddess to leave. "Shouldn't you be in bed asleep?" an all too familiar voice asked. Elizabeth turned around. It was Gibbs.
"Shouldn't you be doing the same?" she retorted.
Gibbs knew she was troubled by the look of her face. Her cheeks were stained from tears of sadness, and her eyes were getting watery again and were twinkling as if asking him, "What should I do now?"
Gibbs walked towards her. "I understand your pain. My beloved Marie met her fate after bein' engaged to me for four months." He took a swig of rum. "We didn't even have the chance to bid our farewells to each other." He stared out to the sea with Elizabeth. "Marie was a wonderful woman, wanting to make the world a better place, wanting to leave it better than when she arrived to it. Apparently, though, she didn't have a good enough chance to do it." Elizabeth glanced at him. By looking at his face, she could tell he was taking a stroll down memory lane. "I miss her so much. So much," Gibbs said, pausing to take a look at Elizabeth, "words can't even explain."
Elizabeth looked at the water beneath them. She was visiting her thoughts. After taking a deep breath, she stated, "At least you didn't have a curse separating you two." After a slight pause, she continued by saying, "And you were at least married for a full day before you were separated."
"Aye," whispered Gibbs. "But-"
"But what?" asked Elizabeth. "I have nothing from Will. Nothing. All I have is his love and his heart. I don't have a sketch of him. I don't have his voice to hear. I don't even have his writings! All I have is his love and his heart!"
Gibbs could tell he needed to leave Elizabeth alone after her little outburst. As he began to walk away, he heard Elizabeth say in a rather annoyed and angered tone, "I need some rest." The pirate king had stormed off the deck to her quarters below.
As soon as she had passed Gibbs, he began his descent down the stairs to his hammock and murmured beneath his breath, "Aye. We all do."

Elizabeth shut the door behind her. She approached her bed and sat on the side of it. Her eyes looked toward her desk. She closed her eyes, focusing on the beating of Will's heart in the chest. If only you could be here with me right now she thought to herself. She laid down on her bed, and then covered herself with her sheets. She turned to her side, blew out the candle, and went to lying on her back. Her mind was going through a flurry of thoughts. After just lying there for about an hour, she was able to fall asleep due to listening to Will's heart's beating.

A few hours had passed by, and Elizabeth had awoken. She felt the other side of her bed go down, as if someone had just laid down beside her. She was frozen; she wanted to move to see who it was-what it was-but couldn't seem to find the nerve to do so. But she did, when she felt her hair being "combed" by something...like fingers. She turned to the other side, prepared for whatever it was that was disrupting her sleep, but couldn't find one word- or even a breath- from her mouth but-

haha. I'm evil, aren't I, since I added a CLIFFIE!!!!! MWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Well, you know what to do, review, write me a mesage, whatever. I'm a little iffie on this story, but we'll see how it goes. I have, in my opinion, a better one in the works, so look for that sometime soon! yay! I might not be able to come on ere and update as much as I would like to due to other things going on my life. So don't expect quick updates for a while. When winter break comes, though, you can expect it.
Once again, PLEASE review! I love to see what others think of my writings, as well as you, too! How about this: first person to guess who it is will receive an imaginary cookie and an imaginary bottle of rum since this is the day POTC 3: AWE came out on DVD. Can't wait to hear from you!
