*Two Shots Fired*
By Screamfan2003 Disclaimer: I do not own The Pirates of the Caribbean at all. If I did, I would probably not be sitting here writing this (hee hee). Anyway… Basically, this scene is towards the end right before Jack shoots Captain Barbossa and Barbossa (is that spelled right?) has his gun aimed at Elizabeth. Obviously a sad Will/Liz story… Elizabeth's Point of View
The pirates exploded behind her as she raced to get out of the way. As she ran, she noticed that Will had made his way up towards the chest. She smiled at the thought of him. "Always saving the day…my hero." Quickly remembering about accepting the commodore's proposal she frowned. "I did it to save him…but it's him I love." She thought with sadness. Before any tears could fall, she stopped short with Barbossa only a few feet in front of her. Just as she did he raised his gun towards her and looked at her.
She gasped and breathed with short quick breaths not daring to move. Her mind was screaming at her to move; yet she couldn't seem to move, as her body was numb with fear. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.
And two shots were fired.
At first, she felt nothing. It almost seemed the world slowed down and it was just a dream. After a moment or so though, the pain settled in and her hands grabbed her stomach. She could feel it; it was almost as something was burning inside her that would never stop, the pain was indescribable. It took her a minute to realize that Jack had also fired a shot at Barbossa. Words were spoken, but it was all a blur to her. Just then she looked up at Will, hands still on her stomach. She smiled for a moment as she realized what he had done: Will had removed the curse. The next words she heard though were as clear as daylight: "You may have defeated me, but I'm not the only one whose life has just been claimed." And with that Barbossa fell.
Tears came to her eyes as she realized that his words were true. When Jack and Will's heads both turned to her, she could no longer conceal it: she took her hands off her stomach and looked up at her true love and the pain in his eyes was pain that was worse then the actual shot.
My first POTC fic. Obviously I'm a Will/Liz fan and I was kind of surprised that no one wrote anything about this scene. I hope you like it and Read and Review please! :-D
Thanks!
