This is both Pre and Post AWE. I kind of changed the ending up a bit to fit my plots. Mkai? This was an idea after reading in the At World's End DVD that after ten years, the curse was not broken. Which pretty much sucks, doesn't it? Anyways, there's both Sparrabeth and Willabeth in this fanfic. But I will be skipping time a lot, just to warn you.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean or any of it's characters. This fanfic is written mearly for the entertainment of others.

Chapter One
"It's always belonged to you..." Will picked up the small chest, and then quickly turned to her. "Will you keep it safe?" he didn't need to answer, it was already written in the sadness of her eyes. Still, Elizabeth gave him a feeble nod, and pathetically breathed the word, "Yes..." into the warm Caribbean breeze. She walked over to him, and placed her hands on his where he clutched the chest. She nodded once more, and forced a smile. "Yes." she assured him, in a much louder tone.
For a moment, they stared into one another's eyes, and closed in on each other as if for a kiss. Their foreheads met, where they stayed there for the last few seconds. The lovers took in one another, her scent, his warmth, the love that was being pulled from one world to the next. And, as Will felt the sunset upon him, his eyes fluttered open, and then he spun around on his heel, and began to walk away.
Elizabeth's eyes remained closed, and every expression on her face told you that her heart just broke. Her mouth led a slight ajarness, and soon her eyes shot open. She ran to the large rock in front of her, placing the chest on it and running over to the shoreline where her husband was. "WILL!" she cried out, he turned around to the woman, who jumped in his arms and wrapped her own around his neck. They shared one, last, passionate kiss. But he pulled away once more, and looked into her eyes. Elizabeth's eyes were dark, and glossed with tears that threatened to fall. Her hand remained daintily onto his chests as she watched him open his mouth to speak.
"Keep a weather eye out on the horizon." he said, his voice barely above a whisper, and then he walked into the water.
"Will!" she cried out again. "I will find a way to break this curse." her lips pressed together. She watched him turn his head slightly to face her. "I promise." she said, her eyes sincere. But he merely smiled at her. That sheepish smile that always made her return the facial gesture. And she did, she smiled back at him.
"I love you, Elizabeth Turner." and with that he became engulfed in the water. With the blink of an eye, he was on the Dutchman, and it was taking off into the horizon.
"I love you, too!" she cried back to him. "William Turner..." and with that she fell to her knees, closed her eyes, and let the slightest of tears slip her eyes. "I promise..."
