Chapter 46: The Only Means of Escape
***
Alaina sat alone in one of the rooms on the Pearl looking longingly at the pistol she had in her lap. It had been Captain Partuse's; she had taken it before she left the cavern, unknown to anyone but herself. And now she was going to use it, to get rid of her pain.
Her father was going to die, no one told her that but she knew he was. She had already suffered too much from her mother's death to even begin to think about what life would be like without her father.
She didn't want to live anymore; there was nothing to live for. Nothing that could even begin to ease her pain. Slowly and decisively she lifted the pistol so she was staring right into the barrel.

James walked hesitantly to his sister's door and knocked. "Alaina," He called out after she didn't answer.
"Alaina?" He asked trying to turn the knob only to find it locked. "Oh god please no," He begged aloud his heart quickening.
"Jack!" He yelled down the hall. Almost immediately both his brother and Captain Sparrow came out of doors exactly across the hall from each other and asked at the same time.
"Yes?"
James didn't know what to do but decided just to explain. "Alaina's locked her door,"
Jack didn't know what he meant but watched as his namesake rushed beside his brother and tried the door for himself.
"Damn it," Jack said checking the knob for himself and finding that his brother was right.
"What does it mean when she does that?" The pirate asked coming up beside them, leaving Ana Maria for the moment.
"Normally something bad," James replied getting down on one of his knees and peering through the keyhole to see her sitting on the bed, face to face with a pistol.
"Alaina no!"

A/N: So sorry I had to end it here. I know I'm a real bitch but I can't help it, I want to kill her SOO BAD!!! You don't understand, I like to kill off my main characters.
Anyways, I have two alternate results written already for the next chappie but I can't decide which to send to my editor, so I'm going to ask you which I should post.
