Summary: She had promised him. But it was all a lie.
"If it came to it... would yer stop him? Would yer save me, luv?"
A soft smile, a comforting touch. "Of course I would."
"Do yer love me?"
Brown eyes twinkled. "You know I do, Jack."
Lies.
As he had suspected, Will had wanted him dead. Really wanted him dead. And now he was standing before him, his sword pointed at Jack's throat. Jack had just woke up, and so he was unarmed and completely helpless. Apart from Elizabeth, standing against the wall, staring at the floor. She had promised... but why wasn't she doing anything?
She had lied, and he knew that, but he didn't want to believe it.
He called out to her weakly, but she didn't look up at him, closing her eyes instead. He saw the wetness of a tear move slowly down her porcelain cheek.
"How does it feel to be facing death, Jack?" Will spat.
Jack blinked, watching Elizabeth turn and run from the room, abandoning him. He looked back at Will. "Relieving."
He stepped forward, into the blade.
