They spent the next week between talking and making love. Elizabeth felt free for the first time in her life, nothing holding onto her, nothing making her feel abnormal. Will was gentle with her always, but she wanted something different.
"Will it always be like this?" She asked when they were walking through the woods, on a hiking trail.
"No." Will smiled. "Sometimes it will be so sudden you won't know what hit you." Will smiled and nudged her.
"Well…" Elizabeth raised a brow. "Why don't we try that?"
"How? Here?"
"Race you to the house." Elizabeth winked and began to run. Will kept up with her and eventually caught her in the kitchen. He held her there for a moment and kissed her.
Elizabeth moved her hands down to his zipper. "Here, now."
Will happily obliged and pushed her up onto the kitchen table. Elizabeth ripped at his clothes and found she was very clumsy. She had all of her clothes on and it felt awkward…yet exciting.
In the mist of their passion, the phone rang. Will jolted upward, startled. He then pulled Elizabeth up off the table, and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"So you enjoy straddling that little gold digging witch?" Will sucked in a breath of air. Melanie Baines was on the phone.
"I assure you I am a much better lay. I wonder if you would consider sleeping with me, you know, sampling all us Baines girls have to offer?"
"You are one sick bitch. What do you want?"
"Soon enough darling, soon enough, I will have her eliminated."
"You won't get within fifty feet of her."
"We'll see…" Will hung up the phone. "We have to get out of here." Will grabbed her hand and the keys and began to run out of the house.
"It was her, wasn't it?" Elizabeth said once they got in the car. "How did she find out?" Suddenly it dawned on her. "Give me your phone." Will handed her his cell phone.
Elizabeth called her father. "Elizabeth, I told you not to call me."
"Dad, she knows we're here, she called."
She heard her father curse. "Get to Logan, now. I'll have my jet there ready to take you out of the country." Elizabeth fell silent.
"Dad, I don't want to run forever."
"Elizabeth, you don't know what your up against."
"Dad, I will not be backed into a corner." Elizabeth then told her father her plan. After a long while, he agreed.
"Take us to Logan." Elizabeth said once she hung up the phone. "We are headed back to Washington."
Will nodded and picked up her hand. "Give me the play by play." Elizabeth smiled.
"First I need for you to do me a favor."
"Anything."
"If something happens to me, you make sure the truth comes out. If I die, I don't want you to be stupid and do something in my honor…like getting yourself killed."
"Elizabeth, don't…"
"Promise me Will."
"Eliza…"
"Promise me."
"I promise."
POTC
"It's in motion, all you have to do is kill her just like I told you to." Melanie smiled at Luke.
"Melanie, she's the General's daughter."
"And I am the President's daughter…who holds more rank?" Melanie asked with a brow raised. "I want her dead, do you understand? You won't ruin the work that had been in play for years now…she will take the fall. If you backstab me, I swear to God you will regret it."
"I'll do what you want. Anything for you Melanie…"
