Hey everyone! I had a really bad writer's block for my other story, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Race of Death, so I thought that I should write another story in the mean time. This is about Lizzie trying to get Jack's forgiveness for killing him. Trust me, I know that alot of people write about this, so I thought that I could contribute to the 'alot'. So enjoy it! R&R!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own POTC.

Chapter 1: After His Rescue

Elizabeth was sitting on the steps leading to the hold of the Black Pearl. The last time she was on this magnificent ship, it had been when she betrayed Jack, Will, and herself. Will. If only he had known what she was doing, she wouldn't be in this mess. He wouldn't have thought she loved Jack. Jack, the only man to have shown her adventure and the thrill of living. She loved it when she was with him in the past. It was absolutely magnificent.

She snapped out of her daydream when she heard footsteps behind her, coming down the stairs. "Well, well, if it isn't my charming murderess. Come to kill me yet again?" Jack said in a cold, heartless voice. Elizabeth started to form tears in her eyes. "No..." she said in a whisper. Jack walked down the rest of the stairs and faced her. "Look at me when I'm talking to you." She looked up and saw that there was nothing in his eyes but hate, revenge, and no hint of sympathy. "Crying will get you nowhere here. You're just gonna have to suck it up and go on with your unfortunate life. You, Miss Swann, are certainly not going to have any of my sympathy or compassion," he said. "I know... I don't deserve it, and never will," she said, again in a whisper. She looked away from him when she said that, and felt a cold hand under her cheek, forcing her to look at Jack's face, only a few inches away.

"I said to look at me when I talk to you. And you're right. You will never deserve any of the world's compassion for you. Even when your dear fiancé comes to talk to you, he won't have compassion. You, Miss Swann, are the most disgusting person I've ever met." He let go of her face and walked away. "Jack..." she mumbled. He turned around out of sheer surprise. "What."

"I'm sorry."

"If I can remember correctly, I think you said that you weren't sorry by any means."

"I lied."

"Of course you did! You're probably lying right now!"

"No Jack, I'm not... I truly am very sorry."

"Uh-huh. I'll believe it when I see it, Miss Swann."

"Stop calling me that!"

"I'll call you whatever I want. Whenever I want, Miss Swann." And with that, he turned around and walked away.

Shortly after, Will appeared and spoke. "You left Jack to the Kraken."

"He's rescued now it's done with." Will turned away from her in disbelief.

"Will, I had no choice," Elizabeth said, standing up. "You chose not to tell me."

"I couldn't. It wasn't your burden to bear." At this, Will turned to face her and walked closer. "Well, I didn't bear it, didn't I? I just didn't know what it was. I thought..." Elizabeth's mouth hung open. Did he really think... "You thought I loved him." Elizabeth turned to go up the stairs, but was caught by Will and shoved into a beam. "If you make your choices alone, how can I trust you?" he asked. "You can't." she said, turning to leave again. But this time, she was surprised by a voice behind both of them. "Apparently," Jack said, in a dark corner. "You... you were listening all this time..." Will stammered. "Yup, and one thing's for sure, you definitely can't trust her. Just look where we are now. We're in hell! All thanks to a governor's daughter," Jack darkly said. "Stop. Can't you see that she's sorry!" Will shouted at him. Jack just chuckled and retorted, "Can't you see that she wants you to feel sorry for her! I'll be surprised if she doesn't leave you to a Kraken anytime soon." Will punched Jack in the face, and Jack unloaded on Will. Elizabeth had no idea what to do. In a matter of seconds, Will was on the ground, unconscious. Elizabeth stood opened mouthed and starred at Jack. "Better close that before you swallow a fly," he joked. "Now, since it's just us two, I think we need to have a little conversation," Jack said, backing Elizabeth into the same beam she was up against mere minutes ago.

"What do you want from me?" she whispered, clearly scared for her life. And Jack knew it.

"Did you love me?"

"Did I..."

"Yes, yes. Did you love me?"

"I... I don't..."

"Don't give me that. It's a yes or no question."

"I... I don't remember."

"Oh, okay, then. Let's remind you. Firstly, when my compass was in your possession, it pointed to me. Secondly, you were curious about what I was going to taste like. And thirdly, you kissed me. Remember now?"

"How did you know that the compass pointed to you?"

"I could see it in your eyes. You were very much wanting me, Miss Swann. Don't deny it, because you're just lying to yourself." Elizabeth didn't know what to say. She looked away, but quickly remembered that Jack was going to yell at her if she didn't look at him when he was talking to her. She realized that Jack's face was closer than the first time they had a talk. "So, back to the question at hand, did... you... love... me?"

Elizabeth didn't know what to say, again. She loved the closeness of Jack, but she was also afraid that he would kill her, somehow. "I... didn't," she choked out. Jack smiled and said, "See, that wasn't so bad, now was it?" He turned to leave, but Elizabeth caught his sleeve and pulled him back. She turned the position around, so that Jack was against the beam. "That doesn't that I don't love you now," she said, bringing her face closer. "Oh, no, no, no, no. I know what you're doing. You want my forgiveness so bad, that you'll do almost anything to get it. My apologizes, Miss Swann, but I don't take brides from murderesses like you," Jack said, in his cold voice again. He pushed her out of the way and went up the stairs.

Okay, so, whatcha think? Don't worry, more to come! Review please!
