Late that night, both Will and Elizabeth lay awake, staring at the ceiling. Finally, Will could take it no longer. He pulled on a shoulder and left the blacksmith shop, and wandered to the dock. He could see that Elizabeth's light was still on. Will began pacing. Back and forth, back and forth, wondering if he should ask Elizabeth to be his wife. Then, he thought the better of it. Will would need the governor's approval for marriage, but not for love. For the time being, love was the safest path. Elizabeth also wondered the same thing. "Please, Will.' She silently begged. "Don't do anything stupid." She couldn't stand it, either. Pacing around her room didn't help, and neither did the hallway. She finally redressed and went to the docks. And there was Will. He was sitting by the end of the dock, feet dangling into the water. He didn't hear the soft pat, pat of her feet on the dock. But somehow, he sensed that she was there, because he whirled around and frowned slightly when he saw the white shape at the end of the dock. Trying to figure out if that was Elizabeth at the end of the dock, he called, "Who's there?" "Will?" Elizabeth chocked, running down the dock. "What are you doing here?" "The same thing as you, I suppose." He said, turning his back to her. "Thinking." She moved closer. "Do you wish you had gone with Jack?" "No. Not when I had you, Elizabeth. I'd never give you up." "I love you, Will." She whispered. "But I will not keep you from going to join Jack if that is what you want." "I. Elizabeth, I want to be on the sea. But I also." He stumbled over his words, then stood and took her hands in his. "Elizabeth, I want you to come with me." "I can't, will." She said. "I. My life is on the land." "I figured we could stay here. Start a family. Love each other. Have a life together." "Are you asking me marry you?" She asked. "Yes, I am." "I. Have you talked to my father?" "No. But. Please, Elizabeth. Just hear me out." He tightened his grip on her hands, then pulled her closer and let his lips brush hers. "Elizabeth, I love you. But if I do not leave, Commodore Norrington will kill me for you. I'll talk to your father tomorrow." "You'll do no such thing, William Turner." The Commodore said, stepping out from the shadows. "Go home, Elizabeth. I'll see you tomorrow." "Are you willing to sink so low as to kill the man that I love so that you can marry a woman who will never love you?" Elizabeth asked. "I. I." The commodore said, lowering his sword. "Please, Commodore." Elizabeth said. "I love this man. Please, spare him. Please." She moved closer to Will, so that their shoulders were touching. "Please."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Commodore Norrington's POV
It was that last please that got me. I love Elizabeth, to the point of my heart breaking if I can't talk to her. Or be with her. William Turner, YOU WILL PAY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will's POV
I wasn't afraid for myself, but for Elizabeth. She deserves to live. I don't. Nor do I deserve her love. I just want her to do what her heart tells her to. I already am. I just want to love her. I just want her to be safe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No POV
The Commodore lowered his sword. "Elizabeth." He began, edging closer to her. Will stepped between them. "You will please maintain your distance, sir." He said, crossing his arms. The commodore stopped walking. "Elizabeth." He tried again. "I love you. I want to always be around you, I want to talk to you. Why don't you understand?"
"Commodore, I love Will. I can't put him behind me and marry a man that I do not love. Please, sir, try to understand. I will always be there for you, if you need me, but my heart will always belong to Will."
"Elizabeth, it is not that simple." The Commodore started edging forward again. Will balled his fists and looked the Commodore straight in the eye. He stopped walking again. "I. I want you. Please. Forget Will, Come with me. I can show you what love is about."
"Commodore, go home. I will talk to you tomorrow."
"Elizabeth, there will be no tomorrow. If I can't have you, then no one can!" He raised his gun. And then, all went dark for Elizabeth.
A/N: THERE IT IS!!!!! I'M FINISHED!!!!!!!! Will Elizabeth wake up? Why is everything dark? What will Will do? Did the Commodore shoot? Find out in the next chapter!!!!!!
