I do not own any Pirates of the Caribbean characters, situations that were portrayed in the movies, or anything else that has been previously owned.
Chapter 1:
The sea was the deepest blue Elizabeth Swann had ever seen it.
All she saw was blue ripples, sliding over blue glass. Drops of water trickled down the sides of the boat they were in, much like the tears sliding down her cheeks.
She stood at the bow of the boat, thinking about what had happened. It. 'I did what was best for everyone,' she told her concience, though all the rest of her knew that murdering the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow had ruined her life beyond repair.
She sighed and wiped the tears off her cheeks with her arm forcefully, taking all her pain out on her cheeks. The cloth on her arms rubbed against her raw skin, the burning sensation familiar by now.
She heard the soft tapping of boots behind her and two strong arms wrapped around her waist. She stiffened considerably when she heard Will's voice murmur into her ear, "I love you."
"I love you, too," she told him, also telling her heart and mind the same thing. She krinkled her nose at the smell of his breath. It smelled worse than rum and cinnamon...
He kissed her ear, then her cheek, and then kissed her lips gently. All she could think about was how thin and mushy his lips were, and how she secretly longed for the comfort of rough, full lips on hers, chapped but oh-so soft against her own...
She slapped herself back to reality mentally.
'He's gone!' she told herself, trying to listen to Will tell her sweet compliments. 'Dead, rotting at the bottom at the sea!'
'But not for long,' that sneaky voice in the back of her mind said to her, and she could almost hear an evil laugh from the heavens because she knew it was true.
They were currently heading to the Edge of the Earth to save thier long lost Captain, and she had a feeling that Elizabeth's reuniting with Jack wouldn't be pleasant. Her stomach sank at the thought of seeing his eyes again, though her heart did somersaults.
"What are you thinking about?" Will said, his arms unraveling from around her waist.
"Nothing," she lied, turning to face him with an angelic look in her eyes. She could see him melt under her gaze.
"You just seem so... out of it lately," he said. "Since Jack..."
He didn't finish his sentence. He didn't have to. Nobody had to finish the sentence to remind her all over again that Jack was dead. And that reminded her that she had killed him.
She sucked in a deep breath and put on a smile so fake she was sure Will would notice. "I was just so excited about the wedding, but now we'll have to postpone it again. That's all."
He smiled in relief, putting his hands on her cheeks and kissing her softly. His hands were sweaty and soft. She swallowed hard when he pulled away.
"Turner!" Barbossa barked from down the stairs from the Captain's Cabin. "Where are ye, Boy?! Get yer arse down here or I'll have it removed!"
Will looked at Elizabeth, and, when he saw the look on her face, they both broke out in giggles. He pulled her into a shaky hug, because they were still chuckling, and placed a kiss on her forehead before jogging across the deck and down the stairs to the Captain's Cabin.
She sighed and turned back to the beautiful sea. She wiped off her lips, because if his breath smelled so bad, who knew how bad his mouth tasted...
She shuddered at the thought.
She pulled her jacket closer around her shoulders. It was getting colder by the hour, she noticed. The blue sea had steadily turned a palish deep blue, because of the cold, and her lips were trembling slightly. She could almost feel a shiver ripple through the ship at the thought of what the cold meant:
They were nearing the Edge of the Earth.
A/N:Reviews would be nice.
