Elizabeth came to the door of the Blacksmith shop she put her hand on the
door and felt warmth. For she knew on the side was her Will. Elizabeth
placed her hands on the door latch and found unlocked she quietly entered
and shut the door. Elizabeth looked around her surroundings, the low light
shimmered throughout the whole place, and for some reason she felt home and
safe. Elizabeth walked over to the furnace to see Will's latest work. She
smiled as she went to touch it then a noise sounded the place. Elizabeth
quickly pulled her hand away, she turned. "Will" She heard nothing from him
Elizabeth began to walk around the shop she rounded a corner and then
someone was in front of her, she screamed and so did.Will. Elizabeth tried
to catch her breath. "Will." Will was panting "Elizabeth.. What are doing
here at this late hour?' Elizabeth smiled. "I came to see you, I have
missed you terribly." Will came up to her a placed a kiss on her rosy
cheek. "As have I' Will replied. "What are doing working this late?"
Elizabeth asked. "A blacksmith always has to use his rough hands even if
it's in the middle of the night." Elizabeth smiled and stroked his hair.
"If that's the case will then why not sneak up to my room." Will smiled
slightly at the thought "That would be bold Miss Swann." "Bold as it may
seem, being without you is getting harder more everyday." Will went past
her in what seemed in a rush. "Yes. Yes. It is." Aren't you surprised to
see me Will?' Elizabeth asked
Will supposed that what really surprised him was that Elizabeth had given
up the great life as a Norringtons wife but she chose to stand by him
instead. Just a blacksmith. Or, as Elizabeth had claimed, a pirate.
Elizabeth turned to him. "You look upset." Her voice was soft and Will
closed his eyes at the sound of it. "I am no troubled" Will lied. He hated
lying to her. Elizabeth tilted her head slightly, her gaze piercing as she
looked at him. "Do not lie to me Will. Please. I know something is
bothering you. Please tell me what it is." The young man bit lightly on his
bottom lip, closing the distance between them and looked her in the eyes
that he had grown to love so much. "Why did you promise Norrington marry
him, Jack told me you accepted the proposal why would you do that?''
Elizabeth frowned a little for confusion was upon her. Elizabeth bit her
lower lip, and then looked up at Will. "Yes. Yes. I did accept the
proposal." "Why?" Will asked as pain drifted in his voice and in his face,
Elizabeth could see that. "Because it was the only way to save you, they
were going to leave you Will" Tears sprung to her eyes. "They were going to
let Barbossa kill you, I couldn't let that happen I loved you. You risked
everything to save me, Will. He nodded slowly remembering" I know. I knew
the risks when I went to Jack and asked him to help me. But I had to find
you, Elizabeth. I couldn't leave you in the hands of those men. I couldn't
bare to think of those men hurting you, I had to find you and keep you
safe." A small smile crossed her face. "And you saved me. And when I
thought that I was safe and you were not... I could have not lived my life
if you were gone. I would not have wanted to. So I told the Commodore that
saving you, going after you... It would be a wedding gift. It was all I
could think to do, Will. It was the only way I could get him to go after
you." "You would marry yourself to a man you did not love for the rest of
your life in order to save me?" he questioned, and Elizabeth nodded slowly
"I would do anything for you, Will." Slowly, she brought his hand to her
lips, kissing the palm, then held his hand to her chest. "I love you,
Will," she said quietly, her gaze boring into his, and Will managed a smile
through the tightening in his chest." And I love you, Elizabeth." He then
leaned into her and kissed her with all the passion he had inside him.
Elizabeth unbuttoned his vest baring his chest she wrapped her arms around
him and Will brought her body more closely to his. Will kissed her neck he
wanted to take her take all of her but something stopped him as he pulled
away. "Elizabeth. We can't do this. Not here." Elizabeth nodded. "I should
go." Will smiled and stroked her cheek. "I will see you tomorrow."
Elizabeth smiled. "Goodnight Will" Elizabeth said as she walked toward the
door. "Goodnight Elizabeth." Will said as he watched he leave his shop.
