"Time for bed now Miss Swann," Anne said, as she pulled back the covers and set out Elizabeth's satin nightgown.
"I think I'll go to bed later tonight," Elizabeth replied drowsily, perched on the windowsill, staring out over the harbor.
"Alright...but your daughter....would you like me to take care of her?"
"Yes."
"Alright Miss Swann, pleasant dreams. Don't fall off that ledge now, your father and fiancé will have a fit," Anne whispered, smiling as she shut the door.
The night had a quiet melody. Cool air drafting through the window. The smell of the ocean filling the air. It was a full moon, and it's light spread a strange glow to the town and buildings. "And really bad eggs, drink up ya' hearties' ya' ho.." Elizabeth murmured, tapping her fingers on the windowsill. She felt so old, her life was so dull now. It was like she was slowly fading out of it.
An ache had grown in her heart. Like all her dreams of action and Jack had disappeared. 'It's your fault though...' a voice said in her head, 'You didn't have to accept the proposal.'
'But should I have waited my whole life for Captain Jack Sparrow to sweep me off my feet?' Elizabeth said out loud, getting up from the window and changing into her nightgown.
'Well...' the protesting voice said.
'No, and it's extremely likely that I'll-'
'Meet Jack Sparrow soon," a voice said from behind her, a finger encircling a curl of hair.
Elizabeth closed her eyes, 'damn it all,' she whispered, glancing at the ceiling, 'Stop tormenting me.'
" I don't mean to lassie'," the voice whispered, a warm hand clasping her shoulder and spinning her backwards.
"Jack," she whispered staring into large brown ebony eyes.
"Elizabeth," Jack murmured, his hand reaching towards the nape of her neck and pulling her face to his.
"Jack, I," Elizabeth murmured as she leaned forward to kiss him. Jack put a finger to her lips and stopped her.
"We wouldn't want to be doin' that now, would we? You being a promised woman and all..." Jack whispered back with a devilish smile and skeptic eye.
For a moment Elizabeth just gazed at him in astonishment and hurt, then anger. "Well, Mr. Sparrow, since you...seduced me... it's entirely YOUR fault," Elizabeth smiling wickedly, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Nay, I just wanted to say 'ello, that's all, and a congratulations, savvy?" Jack said, sauntering over to Elizabeth's armchair.
"Oh I see, well thank you. My fiancé and I will be incredibly happy together, no DESERTION, or anger. Just pleasant and long lasting-"
"I get the point, Elizabeth," Jack interrupted, frowning with distaste at the idea of ever 'loving' Norrington.
"Oh..." Elizabeth whispered, trying to avoid Jack's hurtful gaze.
"I was comin' back for you. Truly I was," Jack said quietly, staring at his hands.
"It was too long Jack, I'm sorry. I'd be forced to marry the Commodore somehow," Elizabeth said softly, coming and kneeling down by Jack.
"No you wouldn't. I wouldn't let that bastard touch you," Jack replied, staring into Elizabeth's eyes.
"There's nothing I can do. I love you Jack, and I've just realized that sometimes...love has to wait. I made the biggest mistake of my life."
"And so did I," Jack said, holding Elizabeth's hand.
"I'll never forget you...and I'll never stop loving you."
"Neither will I...I'll come back to Port Royal!! I can't live without seeing you Elizabeth, I-"
"No Jack," Elizabeth whispered, a crystal tear finally dropping from her face. She bowed her head down, golden hair cascading down the sides of her face. "You can't, there won't be any space left in my life. I can't take back what I said..."
"But-"
"Forget me," Elizabeth murmured, squeezing Jack's hand and then dropping it. "Live, Jack, don't let life pass you by... I couldn't bear seeing you time after time, only for a little while."
"No, Elizabeth," Jack whispered, lifting stray strands of hair out of her face, "It'll be okay...we'll always have each other," he murmured as he hugged her tightly, tilting her face up into the moonlight to kiss her gently.
"Jack," she whispered, tears streaming down her face in the moonlight, "Please leave now..."
"Aye," Jack murmured, casting his eye over Elizabeth for the last time. He climbed onto the windowsill and disappeared beyond her view.
Elizabeth clenched her fists in frustration while tears flew down her face like rain, consistently falling, cold wet drops. How could she had made such a mistake?
