A/N- Tonight is Oscar time, and Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, with Johnny's voice…ahem…is up for best animated, and Keira Knightly, who I just saw on the TV looks gorgeous. I think Reese will win, but if Reese and Felicity Huffman scrounge up enough votes, they may cancel each other out, therefore Keira could sneak up. I saw Walk the Line, North Country, and Crash, in terms of the Oscar movies, and they are all wonderful, I kind of hope Crash wins, it is a stunning film. Okay enough of my Oscar rant, Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

It felt good to wake up with someone beside you, Will thought as he stretched. The morning light poured into their bedroom and woke them both slowly. "Good morning." Will kissed the top of her head as she placed her head on top of his bare chest.

"Yes, I would agree." Elizabeth smiled.

"Elizabeth today we are going to call Barbossa." Elizabeth stiffened against him.

"Don't ruin it Will."

"I'm not, but the sooner we can get this over with, the sooner we can move on." Will said. Elizabeth leaned on her hands and looked down at him. "Elizabeth this will eventually rip you to shreds and I can't let that happen to you."

"Will, just…" Elizabeth rolled her eyes and got out of bed and slipped a robe over her body.

"Just what?" Will got up and put on his boxers. "What were you going to say?"

"Never mind. I'm going to shower and then go for a jog."

"What were you going to say?" Will stopped her before she could leave.

"I wanted you to leave it alone…not once since being with you last night did I ever think about Barbossa, or what he did to me…" Elizabeth shook her head. "Now, I have to clear my mind."

"Let me go with you." Will said.

"No, you set up everything with Jack and Barbossa, you've done enough. I need to be alone." Elizabeth slammed the door as she left. Will felt a chill go through him, he felt closed out.

Elizabeth enjoyed her ritual jog. Since she was in college she would run every night, after winning a big case, she would go for an extra long jog, to clear her mind. After she was raped, Elizabeth was just plain too scared to go alone. Will would always go with her, and she found it rather amusing to have a challenge, however, she barely kept up with Will, although she wouldn't admit it to him.

She was jogging down the beach, sand kicking up behind her as the cold morning breeze whipped the sea spray into her face. Elizabeth loved every single minute of jogging, it cleared her mind and set it in focus. Today she was going to speak with Barbossa, and she wondered what she would say, what he would say, and finally coming to the conclusion that she wouldn't know until she got there.

Elizabeth's thoughts then turned to Will as she reached Chatham harbor. The harbor was presently closed due to the winter months, but in the summer it bustled with fishing vessels carrying lobsters, haddock, and Massachusetts State fish, Cod. Elizabeth realized that Will was going to stay by her side forever, and she realized that she would stay by his side, but what she wasn't sure of was whether or not she would survive Barbossa.

Elizabeth realized then and there that she was in love with Will, of course, she had said it last night, but she now realized she truly and deeply had meant it. She had fallen in love with him in that walk in the park a year ago, and she knew with all her heart that he felt the same exact way. Elizabeth stopped and caught her breath. She walked over to the docks and sat down, letting the sway of the waves rock her into a peaceful state of mind.

Elizabeth closed her eyes and inhaled the sea air. Lost in herself and the beautiful surroundings, Elizabeth didn't feel the extra sway on the dock due to an extra set of feet on them.

Elizabeth felt hands wrap around her and yank her up. Elizabeth kicked and screamed and pulled and tugged…she was stronger now. She eventually fell into the water, taking her attacker with her.

"I need Jack down here." Will said into the phone.

"I don't know where he is…I'm not his wife you know." Gibbs, Jack's associate muttered. "All I know is he said he'd be back in a few days."

"Tell him to call me when he gets back." Will hung up the phone and rubbed his temples. He never thought in a million years that he would be working in conjunction with a criminal, but Will had gotten the clearance from the Governor, it was his investigation, therefore his call.

Will then looked outside the window. Elizabeth had been gone for a long time, and Will was getting worried, and realized he should have never let her go alone. She had become the most important thing in his life, his job, which once held that number one spot, now slipped, Elizabeth taking its' place.

"I'm an idiot." Will muttered as he grabbed his jacket and headed out the back door.

Elizabeth fought with every breath in her…she was losing….

(A/N) I know aren't I evil, I will try an update Friday, and what do you all think of a sequel to this?
