Chapter Sixteen: Revenge is Sweet
As if in slow motion, Barbossa yelled out, and Will's eyes widened, trying to move out of the way.
But he was too late.
He fell to the ground, screaming as loud as he could.
…
Jack turned around when he heard Will's scream. "WILL!" he yelled, stabbing his opponent and running over to his best friend. But he couldn't get near him. More pirates surrounded him, forming a wall between himself and Will.
Juliet jumped off the floor. She knew that sound, the sound of deepest pain. Her heart made that sound when her mother was murdered, when she thought Will had kissed Elizabeth. Now, her worst fears had come to life. Will was making that sound. She jammed the key into the lock and unlocked the door, running out of the room and onto the deck of the ship.
Tears stung her eyes and her heart was splitting in two from the scene that met her eyes.
"WILL!" she screamed. She ran over to where he was lying on the floor, pushing pirates out of the way to get to him. He was still screaming, but his voice was dying. She knelt down beside him, holding his hand in one of hers, with the other, stroking his hair. His shirt was in bloody tatters; his chest had a huge diagonal gash down it.
"Sssh, it's okay, I'm here," she whispered. He looked at her and squeezed her hand.
"Juliet…" he coughed, blood lacing with it.
"You're going to be all right, you're going to live, you're going to…" her voice cracked, "to see our child grow up…"
She saw a tear fall gently from his eye.
"It's my time," he whispered.
"No," Juliet whispered, shaking her head. "No… you're going to live, YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE!"
He slowly shook his head. Juliet started to cry. "I'll always love you…" his other hand came up slowly, stroking her face, then coming down to her stomach. "I'll always love the both of you…"
"I know you will," Juliet sobbed, "and we'll always love you…"
He coughed again. Juliet didn't let go of him. He looked at her, smiled, and touched her cheek. She held her hand over his. His eyes flickered, then shut. His hands fell limp.
"Will?" Juliet asked. "Will! Please wake up, oh please wake up…" she gently shook him but he didn't wake up. She screamed, tears flowing down her face like a waterfall. It seemed the whole world had stopped, that nothing mattered anymore. She couldn't hear the clash of metal, the yells, or Jack shouting at them. Nothing mattered anymore. Except for one thing.
The child that was growing inside of her Will had helped create. There would always be a part of Will inside of them, and Juliet would tell them that their father had fought a hero and passed as a hero. Will would never be forgotten.
"How touching," said a voice behind her. She tore her eyes away from the father of her child to look behind her. She frowned, the screamed in rage.
"YOU DID THIS! YOU KILLED HIM—" she punched Barbossa in the jaw.
"He asked for it! What a fool, trying to fight ME, a PIRATE…"
"No, he was never a fool," she hissed. "He was perfect in every way. He died a hero. You're the fool."
He slapped her. "I would not say such things if I were you," (another quote from a movie, but this time, it's the Princess Bride…) he grabbed her and another pirate came forward, tying her hands behind her back while another tried to gag her. She turned her head.
"JACK!" she screamed. "HE KILLED WILL!"
Jack looked over, his eyes widening when he saw Will's body, then his eyes fell on Juliet. "JULIET!" he yelled, trying to run over. But a pirate smacked him in the head with the butt of his gun and he fell unconscious to the floor, next to Will.
"JACK!" she screamed again. But the pirate successfully got the gag in her mouth and she was led off to Barbossa's ship. Tears still fell from her eyes about the memory of Will. She heard Barbossa laugh.
"Oh, revenge is sweet, my daughter," he said. "Revenge is SO sweet…"
