I own nothing to do with potc.
Elizabeth screamed. Was it true, was she really seeing this. Skeletal pirates operating a ship going at a breathtaking speed. Were the ghost stories real?
She hitched up her skirt and ran, only to be grabbed by the pirate. She had ran around in circles trying to get away from them.
Ragetti and Pintel found her, they made a ring around her with their arms and started pushing her from side to side. Elizabeth slapped them. Pintels eye fell out.
"Me eye!" Pintell chased after it.
Elizabeth was able to run away. She hid under some stairs and turned away and hid her face in her hands. She started to cry. Why did this happen. None of the pirates were bothering her now.
She felt a hand on her shoulder. "Go away" she screeched
"Elizabeth, it's okay" She turned at the sound of his voice.
"Will"
She continued to cry. Will hugged her.
"Elizabeth, I know it's me they are after. Hide. Jack is over there in the Interceptor, the boat is down there."
"Will they'll kill you. I'd hate that."
"Don't worry about me"
"No, Will don't go. please." She grapped his arm.
"Elizabeth, it's the only way"
"No!"
"If I do die, Elizabeth look at me, if I do die, always remember that I love you, I always have"
"What, Will, I..."
She was cut off by the kiss. She felt her knees buckle and wrapped her arms around him to stop herself from falling. It was over too quickly.
"I love you too, Will."
Will gave her a last look and walked off. Elizabeth stood there hidden. Will came back.
"I have a deal with them. Go to Jack. You'll be safe there."
Elizabeth felt the tears run down her. Will reached forward and wiped them away
"Dont worry," he kissed her "Go, Elizabeth."
Sobbing, she climbed down. Stealing one last look at Will she whispered "I love you"
She rowed to the Interceptor, sobbing. She was helped up by Anamaria.
"Want to talk?"
Elizabeth shook her head. "We need to follow the Black Pearl"
"What's in it for me?"
"You get the Pearl, Jack"
"Okay following the Pearl, then"
A day later they drew up outside a eerily familier place. Elizabeth looked at her scarred hand. It twinged a bit.
She looked at the longboat slowly sailing into Isla de muerta. Only Will and Barbossa were there.
"Excellent, Lizzie,"
"Miss Swann"
"We'll come in and rescue him. Ooh deja vu."
They stood there, hidden in the same place as last time.
Barbossa drew his sword out and aimed at Will's throat.
"Will." Elizabeth gasped. Jack grabbed her wrist. "Get off." She shook him off.
"Watch. Miss Swann"
The sword dropped to Will's hand and it drew blood. The medallion dropped into the chest.
Elizabeth gasped. Will collapsed as a gun shot rang.
"WILL! NO!!"
Elizabeth jumped up and ran to him. Barbossa was leaning against the wall breathing heavily. Elizabeth grabbed Barbossa sword and ran it through him. He collapsed.
Will jumped back up. He smiled at Elizabeth. She smiled back and ran at him and punched him playfully before hugging him.
"Dont ever do that again."
Will smiled. Elizabeth reached up and kissed him. Jack looked on jealously.
Days later they were dropped off in Port Royal. Commodore's look as Elizabeth held hands tightly with Will has hard to forget. Will thought about it again as he pounded hard at some silver left over from a sword order. He gently connected the two ends. He smiled at it. A delicate ring was before him. Silver and gold were finely entertwined. Hopefully Elizabeth would say yes.
Elizabeth combed her hair. She had been out with Will for months now. And this date seemed special to her. She didn't know why for sure, but she did feel that Will was going to ask her something. And if it was what she thought, she knew she would say yes.
