(A/N) LAST ONE!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

When Elizabeth woke she saw that she was in the blacksmith's shop. Her head was throbbing with pain as she sat up. The shop was silent, and she felt she was alone, except for the whispers she heard in the main part of the small shop. Elizabeth looked over to the nightstand and looked at the small wrapped bundle, she opened it and smiled, her mother's pearls. She quickly clasped them on her and hid them under her dress.

"What's going on?" Elizabeth said as she saw Will, Jack, and Bill talking around a small table.

"Elizabeth, you're up…" Will walked over to her and took her arm and sat her down at a chair.

"What's going on?" Elizabeth repeated.

"We are going to get Danielson."

"Get Danielson?" Elizabeth said still a bit woozy from the drug.

"Yes. We aren't safe here anymore. We are going to go after him now." Bill said as he got up from the table.

"Right now?"

"Yes." Jack also got up.

"I'm coming." Elizabeth said also getting up. "Your not going off on your own."

"Elizabeth, we don't want to put you in any danger…" Will said.

"You can't come Elizabeth…the risk is too high…" Jack said.

"Bill, I can fight, you taught me, you know I can!" Elizabeth shouted.

"Sorry love, we don't want to bloody your hands…" Bill frowned. "I'm sorry." They were gone…Elizabeth stood in the middle of the room, annoyed, and aggravated.

"Oh, I am definitely going." Elizabeth quickly grabbed her cloak, whipped it on, and made her way to the fort, pistol strapped to her thigh.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The fort was dark, but the three knew that Danielson was in there. Earlier they had sent word to the Pearl, where to pick them up and at what time.

"Do we tell the Commodore?" Bill asked.

"No. We don't tell Caleb, James, no one." Will whispered.

"Let's go then." Jack said. They crept along the edge of the wall, keeping themselves intertwined in the shadows, so they went unnoticed. They believed that he would be in an office…but someone beat them there.

XXXXXXXX

Elizabeth walked right into the fort. No one questioned her, she was the Governor's daughter, no reason for alarm. Walking straight on in, she paused in front of the long halls that lead to the offices. This was going to end tonight, no more being scared, no more nightmares, it would all end, and all end fast.

Elizabeth lightly knocked on the door to his office. No sound. Elizabeth knocked on the door again. Again, there was no sound. Elizabeth opened the door to the office and stepped inside.

"Oh…" Elizabeth clasped her hand over her mouth. Commodore Bronson Danielson was dead…his throat slit from ear to ear. "Oh God…" Elizabeth nearly threw up. Elizabeth slowly stepped back from the room. She shut the door. Elizabeth still backing away from the horror, bumped into someone. As she turned around to face whoever it was, she felt relieved.

"Caleb!" Elizabeth wrapped her arms around his neck. "Danielson's dead!"

"I know." Elizabeth pulled away from him.

"What?"

"I'm sorry Elizabeth." He took the dagger he had at his side, raised it and stuck it in her back. Elizabeth's eyes widened in pain and she collapsed on the floor. Caleb fully intended to leave her body there, but he heard someone, and quickly picked her up and ran towards the top of the fort, laid her body down, and ran back to his office.

XXXXXXXXX

"Who got to him first?" Will asked

"Don't know." Bill looked over the body. "No struggling, his desk is still neat. So he wasn't afraid of his attacker."

"What about Elizabeth?" Jack suggested. "Could she have gotten here first?"

"No, this room would have been a mess." Bill said.

"I suggest we get out of here." Will said and they all started leaving the room.

"Wait right there!" A marine shouted, his sword drawn.

"We're pirates…you sure you want to cross blades with us?" Jack said with a slight smirk to the lone marine.

"Murdering a Commodore and the Governor's daughter? I'd be a hero…" He said.

"Wait, the Governor's daughter?" Will said shocked.

"Found near the cliff…pretty young girl…Elizabeth was always kind to the marines…you bastards!" He walked closer. Will felt a surge of anguish…and ran past the marine to the cliffs, Bill and Jack followed, running faster than they had ever run before. When they got to the cliff, they saw her body, blood soaked everywhere, Commodore James Norrington peering over her pale body.

"James!" Will yelled. Will, Bill, and Jack were then grabbed from behind and clasped in irons. James quickly looked up and stared at the three of them.

"She's gone…Why would you kill her?" James said. "You loved her…"

"No, James, I didn't kill her!" Will said.

"Take them away! They have an appointment with the gallows in the morning!" James face was beat red.

Bill, Jack, and Will were all taken away. James bent back down over the body of Elizabeth Swann. He truly admired the girl, she was strong willed, and courageous, when most woman would have bowed down to their father, and have married the eligible Commodore. "What happened to you Elizabeth?" She had a stab wound in the back, and she was still bleeding, warm blood, warm blood seeping from her small worn body…a tragic ending to a tragic life.

"What happened?" Caleb asked as he walked up. "My God, what happened to Elizabeth?"

"Turner murdered her…they will hang tomorrow." James said bitterly. "Why would he kill her?"

"I understand him killing Danielson…but Elizabeth." James looked up at Caleb.

"I didn't tell you Danielson was dead." James then stood up.

"I heard it from one of the guards." Caleb said, recovering from his blunder.

"Sorry, I am just a bit on edge."

"Understandable." Caleb then looked down on Elizabeth. "What about her?"

"I will escort the body to the Governor's mansion." Elizabeth's body was being prepared as they spoke.

"Want me to talk with Will?"

"If you would. Make me understand why…" James then reluctantly walked with Elizabeth's body

James walked with her body.. A smile lightly touching his lips, tomorrow, he would have a surprise in store for all of them.

(A/N) Elizabeth's gone…however what is the surprise James has on his lips…is it a good one? A bad one? Will it thicken the plot? And after everything Caleb is not such a nice guy…I am cruel…
