IT'S DONE!!!!! Wahoooo!!!!! So happy. :D And it's kind of odd; this is the most upsetting chapter yet. :( You'll see what I mean.

Disclaimer: I no own any characters mentioned unless you count Rachel.

"No, no, I'll be fine," Elizabeth told Will without looking at him. She gazed out to sea yearningly. "You go ahead. I just need time to think."

"What about, Elizabeth?" His brow furrowed at the sight of her assumed discontent.

"Things I've learned." She glanced at him then back at the sea, considering mounting the wall and jumping. As Rachel would have done had Jack not stopped her. The sparkling blue below with all its wonders to explore. She'd nearly joined them once, but that felt like centuries ago. Like a different person lived the life of the governor's daughter. A girl who thought that there was no life beyond the palace walls. A girl who thought that life as a pirate would be exciting. A girl who thought that no harm could come of a pirate. She placed a hand down on the brick wall. "About myself, my heritage. There's so much more to me than I thought. I'll come in a minute."

"But..."he started

"Only a minute," she fixed a steely stare on him with her puppyish brown eyes.

"Ok," he placed what felt like a cold kiss on her lips and followed after the procession.

I feel cold, the words echoed through her very skin. "Why did you have to kill him, Jack?" she whispered. "You stole his only love. He wasn't so evil, Jack; why?" she watched The Pearl sail over the horizon. "You lied to me. That was rightfully his ship. Just like Rachel was rightfully his. You stole them by killing him. And to think I might have appreciated you." She stared down at the sea again and suddenly shook her head. She started to pace the floor. "And Will helped, didn't he?" her pitch raised an octave. "How-how could I ever love a man like him? A man who kills a person who's only guilty of losing a love..."

Tears cascading down her cheeks and her face becoming more mournful, Elizabeth perched herself on the wall of the palace. Her feet dangled high above painful death. She stripped herself of everything except her slip and left it on the ground, uncaring. Stripping herself of her old life. "Twice," she hung her head weakly.

The rocks wouldn't pose as a problem. She missed them once, did she not? Her sun-kissed locks fell over her eyes, hiding her expression. An expression of death, death of old friendships. An expression of life, life of new possessions. An expression of love, love of newfound hope. An expression of hate, hate of old love.

Her body went entirely limp. It was as though some outer force was controlling her body. Or maybe an inner force. She plunged through the space, down to her wish. To Rachel's wish...

I feel cold, the words filled her mind again.

Become one with the ocean.

I'm soooooooooooooo sorry if I ruined anyone's plans for this story!!! I love Elizabeth too, but she had to do it!!
